The Middle Ages, /,

The Middle ages was q period Of
about thousand years in the history
Of Europe, beginning with the fall of
the Roman empire in 476 A. D., and
ending with the fall Of the eastern
Roman empire in 1543 A. ID. The
Middle ages include the years between
the close Of the classic times and the
dawn OF the modern era, and consti-
tuted tile epoch Of feudalism, chiyalry
and the, Crusades. According to Hal
lam, the Middle ages comprise about
1900 years, from the invasion OF
France by Clovis in 476 to that Of Ma
PIES by Charles VIII in :1494. From
The close OF the Middle ages CAME the
invention of printing, the discovery OF
America and the revival Of learning In
the Fifteenth century. ..e.sZz

DANISH MAiDENS HAVE CHARM
Pretty oIrIs In ProfusIon to BE Seen
on the Famous "strsak" in
Copenhagen.

Nowhere except on, Fifth avenue,
New York, do you see SO, many pretty
girls in the space Of short walk as
you do on the "Streak." The maid Of
Copenhagen lis nothing at all like ones
preconceived notion Of what q Scandi-
navian girl should be. Up In Norway
you encounter the flaming red cheeks
and yellow locks and robust forms
which Anders 'Zorn has, immortalized
on canvas. But the maid Of sCopen'
hagen, the typical one, the kind that
you will always remember when your
thoughts dwell on the Danish capital,
is not like any of these. She is petite
and trim, neatly dressed, with hair that
is copper brown as often as yellow.
A walk, along the "Streak" Oh a sun
ny afternoon at the shopping hour re,
veals to perfection the charm Of Co.
penhagen.s And II you stroll up to the
Langelinie, the delightful park that
skirts the harbor, or venture into the
grounds Of the Rosenberg palace, 1t
will be much the same; pretty girls,
dozens Of them, alone, or in twOs and
threcs, or escorted by devoted SWANS !;
girls as CHIC. and :Parislenne, with com;
plexions that the ~fogs and winds Of
the Baltic have made Into worthy RI
walls of those of England, chatterlng
like magpies, bursting into smiles that
reveal whole nests Of dimples, tripping
along with life and mischief In their
eyes and charm in every inch Of them.
No wonder a visitor to Copenhagen
can never, get too much Of afternoon
promenadlng! How sincerely does he
growl a curse when dusk begins to
shroud the fair metropolis Of Denmark
and put an end to his enjoyment OF
the beauty parade on tte1"Streak. "

Chiefs Position Not Enviable.

The position of chief of an 1ndian
tribe in the days when the red man
roamed the western prairies was
precarious one at the best, according
TO the account of Francis Parkman,
Jr,. in his "The California and Ore
con Trail"
The chief dared not assume any
of the outward aspects of rank, for
fear Of, mourning the displeasure OF
his braves. u Manga man in the vii
lage lived better owned more squaws
and hefses, and went better clad than
did the chief. He must needs ingratl-
ate himself with his young men by
making them many presents often
to his own impoverishment. a.
The happiest chief was he who was
ut the, head Of a large family. with
gro1,p of relatives to avenge him in
event Of his murder, his position took
on some semblance Of security. One
of the most powerful Dakotah chiefs
was secure in his position by his fam
fly OF 80 stalwart sons.

! why Z, HOUSE RENTS REMAIN HIGH

"Why have not rents declined with the unen1-
ployment and the falling wages?" asks Paul Clay
in Forbes Magazine. t'The answer is that rents
always move tardiIy as compared with the rise and
fall of prices, r., wages, and general prosperity.
Throughout known commercial history they have
been slow in moving upward, and always slow in
coming down again. It the same in the Ma
poleonc period, and in the Civil war imitation and
deaation $50
"Or if one wishes to look at the definite practical
causes which are operating right now, the answer
is that tens of thousands Of landlords through
out the United States cannot afford to reduce rents
while most of the others do not want to. During
the wears of 1918 to 1920, both inclusive, there
was craze for buying real estate. Millions 4ot
dwellings, farms and business properties changed
hands at prices anywhere from 30 to 20O per cent
above the pre-war values These new owners paaa
so much for Their properties that II they reduce
rents they cannot get fair return on their invest
ment Of course, they paid too much and uitl-
mately they may have to sacrifice fair return as
a penalty for their mistake; but the point is that
they will not do until they are compelled. T.
"There is another practical reason why rents are
slow in falling and this is that even now they are
onv little above incomes. Statistical indications
are that wages and incomes now about 592
ner cent higher than in 1914, while rents are go
or 81 per cent higher. Therefore, people in aver
age circumstances still able to pay the average
increase in rents and this condition, together with
the unwngness of the landlord to cut and the
unwillingness Of the tenant to 60 back to the kind
of quarters he used to live in, keeps rents up" m

Temperature Of Coal Mines.

The bureau of mines says that coal
mines are not warmer in winter and
colder in summer. The heat Of the
earth increases one degree for every
100 feet Of depth. Coal mines are not
usually very deep and therefore not
affected to any great. extent by the
heat Of the earth. The temperature
Of the mine depends upon the loca-
ton and the depth. " ..

SCOUT STICKS, 70 POST

Raymond Bennett, an Eagle scout Of
Troop 8, Pittsfield. Mass, discovering a
broken trolley wire, voluntarily stood
guard over the same for an hour and
aahalf, warning approaching automo-
biles Of danger. This was in the eve
ming of a January night when the mer-
curry stood at 10 below. In spite Of
intense physical discomfort, which re-
suited in the freezing of one ear, the
scout stood at his post without 'let,p
until he was relieved by a lineman
able to look after the dangerous wire.

STATE
CAPITAL
Bonus Bill Case.

Annapolis
Papers have been filed by both sides.
in the suit brought by Harry o. Draw.
ner against the Supervisors of Flee.
tons. to prevent them from putting
the Soldier Bonus act passed by tho
last Legislature on the ballot for the
November election. An early hearing
OF the case Is expected.
The supervisors. through Alexander
Armstrong. Attorney-General, filed an
answer TO Mr. Brawner's original petit.
ton declaring that the Soldier Bonus
act was not unconstitutional as he had
charged Mr. Brawner's attorneys.
Dineen. filed demurrer to this an.
swer. charging that the answer did not
justify denial of his petition.
The main point upon which Mr..
Brawner based his charge that the act
is unconstitutional Is the provision
that bonds issued under 1t should be
dated June /. 1922. and mature Janu-
AIRY /. 1888. Mr.. Brawner points out
that the State Constitution does not
permit loans, running more than l.
years
In their answer to this contention
the supervisors declare that the date
OF the bonds should be January /. 1923.
instead of June !. 1922 They explain
that an error was made in printing the
act and submit duplicate copy OF II
showing that this error had been cor.
rectei in all but one instance before
printing. They argue that the error
appears clearly in reading the acts
and that in any event only that part OF
the act in which the error was made
would be invalidated.
The answer states further that:
1.-THE people have the right TO decide
in the manner provided in the act
whether they wish 20 accord this form
Of recognition TO those Maryland men
and women who served in the war. ard
any reasoning which seems 10 deprive
