PRECIOUS WEIGHTS FOUND.
Only Complete Standards Pound at
Alexandria, Va.

Washington. Aug. 23.-What is re-
garded as an important historic find
has Just been made in the discovery OF
the original set of standard weights
and measures, of Fairfax county in the
Town Hall at Alexandria. Va The set
is complete ano-consists of yardstiek,
weights from one TO 100 pounds and
measures Of all capacities, both dry
and wet. All are of solid brass and
are inscribed Fairfax county, 1744.
4 The implements have been in the
Town Hall for a long time. burt it was
only recently that they We're cleaned
and the inscriptions discovered.
An expert from the Department Of
Agriculture who examined the set
states that they are the only complete
set of colonial weights In the United
states and asIsueh are priceless. At
the time they We're made Alexandria
was the countP seat of Fairfax county.
When Alexandra WIS ceded to the
District of Columbia Fairfax county
Court House was made the county seat.

WHY?
why Is a Persons Famiiy-tree Called
Their SPedigreef
Copywright.. 1920 by
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.

When we speak of person
.pedigree.~ or even of the pedigree OF
a dog or horse. we do not. at least
consciously. mean TO infer that this
has anything in common with the foot
Of a crane. But this happens to be
the literal meaning of the word which,
ike a number of Others, has found its
way into English because of the diff
ficulty in applying the proper pro-
annexation TO the French phrase.
A pedigree is. Of course nothing
more than a family tree Of list Of
ancestors and this. when blocked out
in the chart form, SO dear to the
hearts OF geneologists, takes the form
Of connecting lines radiating from the
common progenitor of the family to
his descendants. The French, always
fond of painting word-pictures OF
familiar objects. referred TO chart
OF this nature as a pied-de-grue, or
cranes foot. on account of the resem-
nlauce between the two. The English
lifted the term bodily and translated it
Theoretically as pedigree, thus ac-
counting for its presence in the
language today.

that the last night of the Pendletor

Raids on Liquor Have Effect

Far fewer drunks have appeared in
police court than usual during the past
fey days. The cause is attributed by
some to two recent raids conducted by
the sherifrs office in which consider
able liquor was confiscated. The so
gallons taken from the Bill Hart party
and the liquor in the Graham raid are
believed to have cut down the present
supply considerably. There were two
drunks in police court ON Monday
Feb. IA and two on Feb. 10, making
but four in the past 10 days.
