In the Wonderfully interesting Wis

volume containing the autographs of
all the guests who have been enter
tanned there throughout period of
hundreds of years, over the signature
of BernaI Osborne, celebrated in his

Duchess of ST. Adams, there are
the following lines, addressed to the
late Duke and Duchess of Cleveland:
What a pity at Raby
There isn't a baby"
That reproach can no longer be ad-
dressed today to Raby Castle, in
County Durham, the finest and most
perfect survival of medieval strong

stronghold which has harbored, in

kings. For the present Lady Bar

ter of Herbert Straker OF Hartforth
Grange, Richmond, in Yorkshire, has
just presented her husband. the
and heir.
Raby is an old Danish word and
It was given by the Danish King
Canute of England TO the church
and passed from the latter into the
possession of the historic house of
Nevill, which has played so great a
role in the annals of England. 1t has
furnished a queen. as we'll as the
mother of two kings, for the nation.
Two Nevills have been Archbishops
of York, two more have been lord

Nevills who were duchesses and nine
have been Knights of the Carter the

All resolutely clings.

CAPITAL KEYNOTES
BY PAUL Y. COLLINS

Report was made recently that the
head OF certain baby farm" In
Washington, where eight infants are
cared for" had bought pint of milk
and one orange, In the morning, with
which to feed her eight charges; then
she had gone away without further
provision for their sustenance. and
had not returned until late in the
evening.
There is In Washington an institu-
tion for dependent children which
contains nine babies. The head of
the home solicits gifts Of food and
clothing for the babies. 1t transpires
that seven of the Inmates" are his
own children, the other two being de-
pendents for whose care lie is paid.

exist In the city. Two receive the
mothers as we'll as the babes. Should
they be inspected and supervised by
authority?
Washington Is not lacking in char
table organisations. Until about two

amongst our citizenry each went his

each other, with no intelligence as to
what WAS being done by others. and
with no public. general knowledge Of
what was being accomplished. on the

dependent, or the wayward.
Vice President Thomas II. Marshall.
in 1920, undertook to meet the needs
Of the District by heading a move

His bill was introduced in the Sen

Of the council. Mrs. Louisa S. Rob-

Schenectady Gazette in turn directs
attention to the fact that ten years

been picked out as the most repre-
sentative man in England of the an

he later or ENTER into q serious dis
cussion Of European affairs as he sees
them," the Lynchburg Advance is
convinced Americans will listen with
interest, while the Nashville Banner
holding somewhat the same opinion
points to his initial reception as
worth while. He brought SO much
success to England" the Banner
points out, Crowned its war stand
ards with so many glories, fought the
,, great fight so well, and has borne
. personal defeat SO gracefully, that
he will remain a world figure as long
as he lives and his fame will make
more attractive the written story OF

\ the statement, that a fair number OF
tbe paintfngs now attributed to Rem

No one who has made study of
style and individuality OF technique
could examine the reproductions In
this late book on Rembrandt without
feeling inclined to believe that some
of the attributions were raise or that
at times the master nodded.
| Moreover, 1t Is fairly certain that false
Rembrandts have been turned out and
marketed by those who had an evil
genius for imitation. A genuine Rem
brandt may be worth hundred or hVe
tharefore. the temptation to those who
are unscrupulous and gifted.
But it is not such works as these
| which Prof. Van Dyke brings into ques-
ton. 1t is the portraits and paintings
which the majority Of critics have
agreed to accept as Rembrandt's works
that he new pronounces the works OF
others. Were 1t a question OF imita-
tions, Of copies passed as originals, II
would be different matter. for such
are frauds and in all probability VIII SO
Rut suppose Boil did paint some of the

None need fret; even Rembrandt's ghost
might permit the loss OF honor. ior'

For the purchaser and for those who

prof. Van Dyke claims. fifty or more
pictures out of the 455 attributed to
him. his reputation would still be Sc

FIRST GLIMPSE
 OF ELEVATORS

TUCSON, Ariz, March 27.- Tucked away in the hills, near Twin Buttes. thirty miles from Tue son, there is thriving little com munity of farmers numbering three families A rural school has been established there for the seventeen children of these families.
 During a talk recently by the teacher, mention was made of the postal card The remark was met with open-eyed curiosity. Question: ing revealed the fact that a postal card had never entered their world. Further conversation led to a mod ern contraption called the elevator. This was too much. These bucolic mountain children could not grasp the idea of an entire room being moved up and down, with people in it.
 The result was personally con- ducted excursion to Tucson, by the upper grades of the school, involv- ing seven children in all, under the guidance of the teacher. The chill dren were taken to the University of Arizona on a street car, then talk en through the museum, after which they were shown a postal card. Then came the supreme eli max and thrill of the tour-a dizzy ride in a real elevator!
 This ended their pilgrimage to the city of strange sights, and the children were safely returned to their mountain home with memories that will eaadden their young hearts for years to como. s

These regions are now being con- yerted into muskrat farms. One man, near Wasilla, has more than ninety houses in a swamp lake where he placed some rats last year. At the rate of increase the muskrat industry promises to become a big thing. Muskrat farmers usually SOW a small plot with carrots and other vegetables, and as soon as the rats discover there is plenty of food they flock to the feeding place.

Worlds Greatest Actress

WoTids GreateSt Actress
 Madam Sarah Bernhardt, who at 70 years of age scented still girl, was known te every land as '.the worlds greatest actress" What dis sent there might have been to this estimate, and however far her detrac- toIs ventured in their attempts to miIimize har right to that distinc. ton, tha numherless admirers of the "rivlne Sarsh" remained convinced .aat rever before had the stage pro ducei an actress capable Of soaring to such heights in the realm of emo- ftional drama.
 The work of Mme. Bernhardt was. best where theme afforded the greatest opportunity for a display of her powerful emotions. At the height of her career this form of acting, based principally on love. hate and jealousy, held the predominant place new dedicated to character delnea- a.ons, and Bernhardt never was sur passed, her critics say, in this emo tional school. Hundreds Of parts she either rewrote or created to suit herself seldom being content to act them as interpreted by others.
 Three Generations
 Three generations have praised and even worshipped the art of Bern ,hardt, and hundreds upon thousands of people around the world have throngcd to see and marvel at her setting without understanding the French language, which she inva- rlably employed upon the stage. Once, In Rio de Janciro, she was called before the curtain more than 200 times by a wildly enthusiastic parts of the world she was obliged to answer scores of curtain calls at q single performance.
 The long life story of Bcrnhardt is almost legendary. Closely woven with dramatic incident, off as well as on the stage. 1t was set down by her self in lengthy volume published many years ago and, as one of her critics has said, through the pages of the book peers the face of a woman, a little tired, weary of her own reputation. and blessed with more than her share of the yanities of the sex" As she and others have told the story. 1t is summed up here:
 The date of her birth. the record of which was destroyed dn the flames of the Commune in Paris, was com monly accepted as October 22. 1915. Her mother was Dutch and Jewish. and her natural father French of ficial.
