WENDS OF SLAV0NIC ORIGIN
Variety of Tribes Mingled to Form
What Was at One Time
Powerful People.

The Wends are section Of the
Slavonic race, dwelling In that part
of Germany known as Lusatla, partly
in Prussia and partly In the former
kingdom Of Saxony. In the Sixth cen
fury the Wends were powerful peO-
pie, extending along the Baltic from
the Elbe to the Vistula and south to
the frontiers Of Bohemia. They COM
prised a variety of tribes. To the
Wends at the outbreak Of the war
Prussia was merely military express
sion. They have always remained
closely united among themselves,
preserving the old customs and con-
sidering the mlngllng of races by mar
riage as opposed to the laws of
origin. The distinctions Of caste
among them are very marked and
scrupulously respected. They call
themselves Serbs, and are known in
history as Polabs. Their language, OF
which there are two most marked
dialects. is Saxon and Prussian, with
sections that speak a mixed form Of
both languages, which Is described as
being between Polish and Czech (Bo-
hemian) and was reduced to a writ.

ROCKVILLE. MARYLAND, FRIDAY MORNING, J
SYMBOL OF RUSSIAN TRAGEDY
The eourgeoica, Popular Invention,
Shows to What Depths the People
Have Been Reduced.

A bourgeoica is a small sheet iron
stove, writes Eleanor Franklin Egan in
the Saturday Evening Post. Or 1t may
be only 5SallOn gasoline can with
little door at one end and a hole in
the top to let out the smoke. 1t is an
institution in soviet Russia and is an
invention of the kind of which neces-
sity is the mother.
In the communistic habitations of
the ruined and homeless bourgeoisle 1t
takes the place of both heating ar
rangements and the kitchen range.
Nearly everybody makes his own bour-
geoica out OF whatever materials he
may be able to come by, and in social
circles 1t provides u topic Of converse
ton OF never-ending interest. Their
habits and the various methods EN-
ployed to regulate them are matters of
primary importance.
Its name, bestowed upon 1t In Iron.
ical derision, denotes Its relationship
to the general scheme of things. 1t
burns nothing but tiny bits of wood
and Is therefore very economical, but
when 1t is first set going II smokes
considerably, with the result that prac-
tically every bourgeois home in Russia
such as 1t is-smells as though its
flues were badly out of order.
1t is capable of bringing the average
winter temperature In u fair-sized
room up to zero, or maybe to 10 de-
grees above, and this Is as much COM
fort as the bourgeoisie are expected to
require. This sounds like an exag-
geration, but 1t is not. 1t would be I'm
possible to exaggerate any phase Of
the tragedy that has befallen Russia.

old.st EnaIns, in ENGLAND.

Two engines which are still pump.
ing away after a hundred years are
TO be seen In the BroOkmlll Road
pumping station of the London water
board. They were built one hundred
and one hundred and ten years ago
respectively. Every day since they
were installed they have raised on an
average 100000 gallons of water,
and the total amount they have
pumped must be at least sixty thou
sand million gallons These engines,
which are probably the Oldest work
ing machines of their kind In the
country. are Of fifty horsepower, and
each works two pumps They are of
the type that was once used In the
Cornish mines, and except for a few
modern improvements which have
been added during recent years, they
are exactly as they were century
ago.
Soon they are to be replaced by
new engines. not because they are not
capable Of performing their work, but
because modern engines work more
cheaply.

GOLD ONLY IN BOYS MIND
Scottish Villagers the Victims Of Hoax
Which They Are Only Too
Willing to Forget.

The treasure hunt of the villagers of
Darvel, Ayrshire, Scotland was
prompted by boys hoax Some days
ago piece Of paper was found CON
tanning a message in faded writing to
the effect that many years ago the
writer had buried vast hoard of gold
in the vicinity Of the town. The ex-
act spot would be found indicated on
chart which, 1t was stated was CON
cealed in Granny of an old bridge.
After minute search some young
men came across the chart, and soon
an immense crowd Of men and women,
armed with picks and shovels and 9TH
err implements, were feverlshly digging
in an old quarry near the town, this
being the spot Indicated on the chart
The work continued whole day, but
late in the evening, just when every
one was on the tiptoe Of excitement,
they received great shock. A mes
sage was received that the story of the
hidden treasure had originated with
boy who prepared the papers,
Drowned them before a fire to make
them look old and then hid them. He
was well satisfied with his joke.

BOILING MAY BE OVERCOME
Too Much Cooking Said to Be Fatal
to VitamInes, Which Are Neces-
sary TO Life.

Ever since the mysterious little vita
mines have claimed the attention of
science, new theories have been ex-
pounded from time to time.
Now comes the claim that vltamines
are bits of sunshine. Because Of the
important part cooking plays In main.
tanning or destroying these precious
vitality glvers, II is well to learn what
the new theory asserts regarding 1t.
Vegetables grown above ground, ac-
cOrding to this theory, are richer In
vitamines than those not having the
direct rays of the sun, otherwise
known as root vegetables.
1t is declared that overlooking kills
the stimulating action Of the vita
mines. The housewife who would sup
ply her daily menu with these vitality
giving items should look well to the
fresh fruits and vegetables In the
market at this time OF year
II is claimed that because the Vita
mines are actual rays of sunshine,
artificial heat tends to destroy their
natural power. Therefore fruit and
vegetables that may be eaten raw are
more beneficial than when boiled.

FORCED TO GIVE UP HAREMS
Financial Necessity Really the Mother
Of Any Turkish Reform In
That Direction.

The word "harem," for oil Its rich
cOnnotation, is now simply the name
for the women's quarters in the Turk
lsh home. Poverty In the palaces and
out of them is more responsible than
western ideals for the changed cOndl-
ton there.
Education and the world movement
for broadening the freedom OF women
have, Of course, had their influence.
The French novel also put window Of
kind In the Turkish harem, and
many Turkish men are vigorously pro-
testing the notions Of freedom which
they have put into the heads Of the
women.
But necessity, rising out OF the long
protracted wars, IL the real mother
of freedom for Turkish women. The
Turkish Golfers, both public and pri-
vate, are too depleted to permit the
expensive establishments of the old
days Men are no longer able to main
tain women In ldleness, and war, with
Its demands on man power, has made

The mountainous sections of North

snakes and some of the regions are

Twenty years ago rattlesnakes were
quite scarce In the North Carolina
mountains. Those were the days when
raZorback hogs, one Of the greatest
Of snake exterminators, were a for

Then along came George w. Van
derbilt. who purchased 10000 acres Of
this mountainous country and fenced
1t, driving out the raZorbacks and per-
hitting the brush to grow. The Toxa-
way company followed Mr.. Vanderbilt,
acquiring 10000 acres adjoining his
holdings.
The exodus Of razorbacks from so
large an area has resulted in a re-
markable increase Of rattlesnakes
North Carolinians declare that there
were never so many In their state as
now.
Forestry service men In newly &C

the presence Of tremendous number
Of rattlers. One Washington official,
