 bition by Becoming NOnasenarian

Frederick Leupold. one of New Britain's oldest and best known Ger man residents, celebrated his 9Oth birthday at the home of his grand daughter, Mrs. Emma Lehman, at 361 Arch street yesterday About 50 friends and relatives of the nonagen- arian gathered at the home last eve- ming and he received many useful and beautiful gifts.
 MT. Leupold was born in Germany in 1883 and since the age of seven he has worked as only the son of a farmer can work. He has done con- siderable travelling and before com ing to New Britain in 1883 he worked in both Brazil and Russia as a cab inet maker. On his arrival in New Britain MT. Leupold entered the em- ploy of the Stanley, Rule and Level Co. and worked for that concern for 25 years, retiring in 1908. Despite his advanced age Mir. Leupold has remarkably retentive memory and can Iecite incidents, dating back 50 years with surprising accuracy. He is a reader and takes a great interest in the present day problems being es- pecially interested in the land of his birth.
 Since retiring in 1908 MT. Leupold .as taken great interest in chickens and is considered an authority on that subject by many of the fanciers in his city.
 Tn reaching the age of 90 Mir. Leu rold has attained one of his greatest ambitions and characterized the cele- bration of his 90th birthday as the happiest birthday he has ever had. Besides a number of relatives in Ger many, MT. Leupold has four sons, 1c grandchildren and four great-grand- children living in this country.

Geneva, Nov. 27.--The realm Of Ruanda has come into it's own again. The story reveals how the machinery Of the League of Nations often turns to mete out justice to almost forgotten peoples. But Ruanda does not think it has passed out of the thought of tine world. for it believes in its great ness and the bigness Of its destiny as one Of the states of East Africa.
 When the Zig Four sitting at Paris sliced mp the map Of Europe and fashioned new states out of big. old ones they did a little ribbon

 The mandate commission brought the matter to the council Of the league, and the whole affair was sub mitted to the British and Belgian gov ernmcnts. These governments were induced 10 open direct negotiations and the result was an agreement rec tifying the frontier and reconstituting in it's entirety the kingdom of Ruanda under Belgium mandate. All Ruanda is now rejoicing. and civil war has teen avoided throughout the land.
