the Senator his birthplace is near that

who was Miss Anna r. Cook, was
born in Burlington, not far from the
birthplace of Mrs. Coolidge. But, un-
like the exalted Vermonters now in
the White House, the Waterma ms
sought their fortune in the West, and
their first home was in Ann Arbor,
where both studied at the University
of Michigan. MIR. Waterman took his
Ii. b. degree there in 1895. and then
decided on Denver as his future home.
That was 81 years ago, and beginning

names are Synonymous with pure,
wholesome milk for poor and sick
children, have just put on exhibition
the model of the vast health center in
Jerusalem which they are financing.
This mammoth building is TO bear
their name, and will be erected at
cost of S250,000, including its equip.
ment. and on completion it wlll be
placed under the direction of the well
known Jewish organization, Hadassah.
An effort is being made toward the
permanent endowment of this unique
charity in the oldest home of the re-

about the Holy City with fiocks of
sheep and in the more fertile spots
to place hardy breeds of cattle. The
urgent need of pure milk is forcibly
impressed on American visitors to the
Holy Land and, indeed, the need of
eggs, butter and good cheese. Mr..
Nathan Straus, almost single.handed,

poor of New York City, and. with his

and Journalist, Julian Street, and a
writer of some reputation himself.
Miss Vanderlip realized all that the
popular imagination has conceived of
Portia, and as she has the habit of
pleading her cases in cap and gown
of die New York law school grad
uaAns, she looked bewitching in the
draiD court atmosphere and proved
somewhat distracting to judge, jury
and attorneys alike. She made her
debut three years ago, in the depths
of her law studies, and she did not
delve very deeply into the social Of
ferings. Her mother, formerly Miss
Narcissa Cox, is prominent member
OF the Colony Club and nearly all Of
the amenities of the Fanderlips are
held in its stately drawing rooms.
But this family live all the year
through at Scarboro-on-the Hudson
where Mr.. Vanderlip and his wife
planned one Of the most beautifully
decorated gardens in that section.
Their sculpture alone is worthy of a
visit across the ocean, according to
the word of Sir Joseph Duveen, head
of the Metropolitan Museum. Miss
Narcissa took the Fl. A. degree in
