History in a Bag

A Budapest newspaper relates that
a schoolboy at Navyvarad, in the Hun
garian territory transferred to Ru-
mania, found on buying some fruit
that the paper bag into which it had
been placed was made Of an old docu-
ment belonging to the municipal arch
ives and giving an official account of
the Battle of Magenta. His curiosity
being aroused he secured another bag,
which was made from an original de-
cree of the Emperor Joseph, dated
1850, permitting the Protestant In
habitants of Navyvarad to bury their
dead to funeral chants. Investiga-
ton showed that the new Hungarian
authorities had been selling the old
archives In bulk as waste paper. The
Hungarian inhabitants of the town
have now taken steps to save what
ever can yet be recovered.-Pierre

Virginia Still Rich
IN Colonial Mansions

Old Virginia homesteads in which
were born and reared the makers o.
Virginia and the United States stand
today, mute evidences of the sim
plicity and genteel dignity which sur
rounded those men and women pi-
OneerS.
Just as the cradle of America has
often been said to have been at James
town, so the oldest mansions in Vir-
ginia are TO be found there. And ex-
tending slowly, as did these early set
tiers over Virginia and the rest of the
country, these palatial homes dotted
the state. Naturally, this expanding
movement followed the rivers, and SO
most of Virginia's colonial residences
are to be found close by the banks of
the York, James, the Potomac and the
Rapahannock rivers.
Included among the several hun.
dred colonial residences are scores
whose histories pre-date Revolution
airy days. Many of them are national
shrines
Monticello, Arlington. Mt. Vernon,
KenmOre-symbolic of Thomas Jeffer-
son, the Custisses and Lees, George
Washington and the Lewises
have become hallowed and have been
dedicated to the nation. Four pal
aces representing as many distinct
types of architectural beauty, these
colonial mansions would be famous
for their beauty alone.
Brandon, Westover, Berkeley, Shir-
ley, garden spots along the James,
once housed the HarrisOns, Byrds and
Carriers, all prominent in the early life
of Virginia and the United States.
Around Williamsburg are the homes
of President Tyler and many others
who helped make history, while few
sections of Virginia cannot claim one
or more of these palatial residences
of colonial times.
In this advanced civilization which
crowds homes almost one upon an
other, these picturesque, spacious
manOrs, free of gaudy ornaments and
serene in in their large settings, serve
to recall the simple wholesome en-
vironment which made for the firm
foundation of the United States.

doing away entirely with the local
board or to have the county physician
act as quarantine officer under the To-
cal board.
DR.. Davis said some states use one
of these systems and other states the
other. He explained that it is often
the case that local boards do not prop
erly enforce the quarantine. The plan
would not in any event affect the Will
mington Board of Health. The coun-
ty physician in addition to general in
spection work, would also examine
school children.
In Sussex county at present there
are three visiting nurses. Under the
plan as outlined one of these nurses
would be dropped and an Inspector ap-
pointed in her place, in addition to
the county physician. DR.. Davis was
of the opinion that the proposed plan
would be of great benefit in protect
ing the health of citizens.
While the State Board of Health

nor has recommended see, 800, COM

Good Money in Whaling

The vastfold district of Norway,
where many of the old Vikings had
their homes, is still the recruiting re-
gion for one of the most romantic
callings of modern times--whale hunt
ing. Leaving their small farms in the
care of wives and children, the men
set out for south Georgia and the
Ross sea in September and return at
the beginning of the following sum-
mer. The Norwegian whale-hunting
feet numbers about 20 ships and en-
ploys 1000 men.
The work is very hard, but is ex-
traordinarily well paid, every man re-
ceiving a royalty from the catch.
Some men average $4,000 year, and
the ablest, after years of good serv-
ice, is trusted with the harpooning.

such as child welfare, $4,000, and
several others, are consolidated in the
budget for the next two years under
general administration. The appro
priations asked for the laboratory,
$4,000; Edgewood Sanatorium, $4,000
and Brandywine Sanatorium, $4,000
each year, are the same as the past
two years.
During his remarks DIR. Davis said
about 10000 school children in the
State have been immunized against
diptheria under the direction Of the
State Board of Health.
DR.. Davis said the Board employs
Is nurses in the State, fourteen of
them at $500 each a year and one at
$1,000 a year; one sanitary engineer,
two physicians at $4,000 a year each;
six clerks, one part-time physician
and himself as secretary at $4,000 a
year. For salaries the Board asked
for SAT ,104 each year, while the Gov
ernor recommended $45,104. For the
Edgewood Sanatorium $4,000 is ask
ed each year and the same is recon-
mended, and for the Brandywine San
atorium $4,000 is asked each year
and the same is recommended.
DR.. Davis in answer to questions
said that if the $1,000 increase asked
for is allowed to employ two ply
sicians, he will guarantee that they
will be kept busy with health work.

Lifting Machines Old Idea

Lifting machines with pulleys, ropes
and winding drums, are as old as
Archimedes, 236 B. c. They were
used in the coliseum in Rome; in the
Middle ages for military purposes;
and the germ of the modern elevator
is in the drawings of the universal
inventor, Leonardo da Vinci, and in
AgricOla. But the earliest known
primitive passenger elevator is that
in the convent of st. Catherine, on
Mount Sinai 1t was worked by
capstan, and carried both people and
stores to the upper floors, to be safe
from the desert robbers.

wholesale escape Wednesday night
were nipped by Sheriff William G.
Bryan and Deputy Sheriff George Asa
Gray. Noticing that the prisoners
were acting in a suspicious manner,
they searched the cells with the aid Of
Corporal Raymond D. Ingram and
Harry Pusey of the state police force
and found several blankets torn and
tied together to form rope with
which to scale the Jail wall. A piece
of iron pipe which had been taken
from the washroom Of the institution
was bent and fastened to one end of
the blankets to form a hook, so that
when it was tossed over the wall it
would fasten itself, and the prisoners
would be able to climb up it.
When a thorough search was made
by the officers the crude rope was
found beneath the bed of Frederick
Polk, negro, of Bridgeville, who two
years ago murdered Richard Barclay
by stabbing him to death. Polk, after
the murder, made his escape into New
Jersey and was not apprehended until
a few weeks ago and brought back.
He was lodged in Jail on January 4,
and at the coming term of court, on
February IA, he will be tried for first
degree murder.
Polk's accomplice IS said to be
Emory Lee Andrews, white, aged
about 10 years, who on January II
was placed in jail, charged with rob
bing the store of Sol Kline at Bridge
vile. Andrews is brother of Mrs.
Frances Spence of Hickman, who on
October 9, gave her husband, Grover
Cleveland Spence, poisoned cider which
resulted in his death and for which
she will have to stand trial on Febru-
airy IA.
It is likely that Andrews and Polk
will be indicted for attempted jail
breaking when General Sessions Court
convenes on February Z.
The custom of the sheriffs of this
county is to search the cells about
every two weeks, and more often if
they notice that the prisoners are act
ing in a strange manner.

BRITONS LEAVE |
FOR COOLIDGE
NAVAL FARLEY
London Delegation Prepares
to Continue Its Fight
Against Submarine.

Blu United Press
LONDON, June 18.-Principals of
Great Britain's delegation to Presi-
dent Coolidge's naval limitations
conference at Geneva, departed
Friday, headed by w. G. Bridgeman,
first lord of the admiralty.
Bridgeman was accompanied by
Vice Admiral F. L. Field, and each
had retinue of secretaries.
AS head of what would be the
navy department in the United
States, Bridgeman can speak for the
British cabinet and the British navy
with authority.
Well-founded information indi-
Gated today that the British dele
cation would be prepared at Geneva
to make almost any concession re-
garding reduction of battleship and
submarine strength to aid the dis
cussions towards useful results. But,
Britain was believed to be ready to
resist strenuously any effort to dis
turb the $3.50 ratio or to bring
about a reallotment of naval
strength except on basis of tom
mage by classification.
That scheme of rating naval pow
er differs from the one desired by
France. whereby each country
would be allotted a fixed tonnage
with permission to employ it at
will, using all for submarines or for
any other type of craft.
Britain also was expected to be
ready Monday to submit to further
reduction in the size and arma-
ments of cruisers, but she would
resist any reduction in the nun
ical strength of her cruiseMEms

was presumed that the United
States delegation, led by Hugh S.
Gibson, ambassador to Belgium,
would understand British insistence
that there be no reduction in her
numerical cruiser strength, so long
as there was a concerted effort by
France and Italy, partly supported
by Japan, to scrap limitation of ma
val strength by classification and to
substitute the total tonnage basis Of
limitation.
That would make possible large
scale submarine construction, and
Britain fears submarines, which are
judged to be the greatest menace to
her trade routes.
