dead, ''the ancient poem has it, she is
stripped in succession, as she passes its
seven gates, of all her attire-her crown,
her earrings, her necklace, her mantle, her

She is generally represented as female

naked with round limbs, the hands sup

GENEVA: CAPITAL OF THE LEA
CUE OF NATIONS

Geneva, Switzerland, capital of the
League of Nations seems rather an appro-
pirate selection The city is cosmopolitan
and has historical, literary and philosophi-
cal traditions in keeping with the purpose
of the league. Switzerland has preserved
its neutrality in way to be above sus-
piciona And finally the Swiss Confedera-
ton is in itself sort of League of Ma
tions. From the practical viewpoint the
city of Geneva is attrative, not too large,
and centrally located for many of the
members of the league.
In fact, the enthusiasts say that consider
ing Geneva's past, its long history full of
struggles and suffering through which it
won its freedom, it would appear that
from all time this city has been predestined
to become the capital of the intangible
kingdom of all free peoples, united to de-
fend, not only their rights and liberty,
but also the rights and liberty of others.
The requirements for location stipu-
lated fifteen hundred meters along the
edge of the lake, embracing large proper
ties; a port for hydroplanes, facing the
Alps and having access by land and wa
ter. Within the walls of the small terri
torial district of Geneva amid the coun-
try adorned with parks and decked with
gardens, several estates were available to
the representatives of the different nations
The parish of Genthod, about four miles
out from the town, perhaps the more read
lily fulhlls these conditions. Genthod, one
of the oldest villages, was a part of the
bishop of Geneva's property In 1885 it
became the property of the republic and is
inclosed in the land that the Bernese took
from the duke of Savoy. An unusually
beautiful spot, looking down upon the lake
from time immemorial, it has been
chosen place for the Genevans.
In the tenth century the noblemen re-
placed the country house of their fore
fathers by beautiful estates gardens were
laid out and planted. Two of these estates
with the houses intact, rendered all the
more beautiful by the passing of time, with
avenues and venerable woods were first
chosen. The Creux de Genthod belongs
to the family de Saussure and the de Pour
tales estate. The Bartholoni estate adjoin-
ing was added; it is occupied by large
modern house called the Chateau-R Rouge
On the other side is the property of El-
ward Naville, the Psychologist, temporary
president of the International Red Cross.
Spacious grounds that belonged to the
estate of the naturalist and philosopher
Charles Bonnet, were also secured. In
cidentally, ore of the eighteenth century
houses on the Bonnet property was taken

city health officer stated this morning.
They are undoubtedly a prolific
source of disease in this city, and there
is no excuse for property owners main
tanning such conditions as can often be
found in close proximity to many

plant for the purpose Of creating bet

are mistaken. The health officers have
had the opinion that property owners
would make those connections without

there are few who must be fore
