PERHAPS it is possible to get through the
spring and summer without a light after
noon coat, but not without many awk-
ward moments. There is, for instance,
the matter of Georgette or lace afternoon
frocks, over which ones tailored sports

the warm day in town when anything
heavier than taffeta is unthinkable. This
wrap of silk crepe or satin is smartly
and simply made, having raglan sleeves
and three-quevter tiers which curve from

GRANTS WRIT OF ERROR
 IN HABEAS CORPUS PLEA
Grabowski, Sentenced For Contempt of Court, Released By Superior
 Court Under S200 Bonds.

In superior court late yesterday afternoon, Judge E. M. Yeomans granted the application of Attornety Thomas r. McDonough, representing William Grabowski of A Concord street, for writ of error which will permit q review by the supreme court of errors of the questions of law raised in his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Grabowski. who was sentenced to jail Thursday for five days for contempt of court by Judge w. C. Hungerford in local po- lice court, was released from jail last evening in Soo0 bonds and Will be at liberty pending the supreme court decision.
 Attorney McDonough contends that Grabowski's refusal to obey a subpoena to attend police court to testify against his brother Charles, did not constitute contempt of court because no witness fee had been ten- tered with the subpoena and the al lcged abusive remark about the court also does not constitute contempt because it was not made in the pres cnce of the court.

TO RE0RGANIZE VAST
LIBRARY OF VATICAN
Long Buried Secrets OF Medieval
History are Expected to Be In
covered During Recatalogufng.

New York, Aug. 10 R-Modern
methods to be introduced soon into
the Vatican library may uncover
long buried secrets Of medieval his
tory, cable advices from Rome said
today the work would be under
taken with the assistance of the
Carnegie Endowment for interna-
tional peace.
The official organ of the Vatican,
the Oservatore Romano. announced
Pope Plus, following series of ex-
change visits during the past few
months of American and Italian Ii
brarians, has accepted the founda-
tons offer to aid financially and
technically in the recataloguing the
library of the Holy See. The work
will begin soon.
The Vatican library Is a treasure
chest OF literature. Some of its con-
tents date from the 18th century.
and include priceless documentary
material which will be placed at the
disposal of scholars through the in
PRODUCTION of modern indeXing
system.
Pope Plus decision, announced
by The project of the Vatican Ii
brary, Mgr Giovanni Mercati, fol-
lows the three months visit in
America of Monsignor Tisserant of
the Vatican library staff. during
which he studied American library
organization and administration, and
that of DR.. William w. Bishop, IL
brarian of the University Of Michi-
gan, to Rome, where he gave the

sacrifices were offered In her hon.

OF.
along the rocky and forested
southeastern coast lies the vacation
resorts that have made Rugen IA
nous. Putbus is the ancient seat OF
the princes of that name. Vilm, Cob
rem, Sellin, and Binz each draw their
summer thousands. Sassnitz Is the
largest town, and 1t Is from here
that the train steamers depart for
Trelleborg on the opposite Swedish
coast. Terraced hotels, handsome VIII
las, and gay out-of-door restaurants
with band stands give Sassnitz the
air OF true summer metropolis.
The Central Farm Lands
1.-THE rail route from Sassnitz lies
through the farming country OF the
Island OF Bergen. the capital, and
thence to Altefahr where the ferry
carries trains bodily to Stralsund.
This island country is typical Of the
farm lands of northern Prussia and
southern Sweden. There are broad,
flat fields of rye. wheat. and sugar
beets, dark forests, and wide mead
ows with slow-m owing horses and
cows dotted about. There are quaint
farm villages and cheerful peasants
who cling tenaciously in the more
outlying parts OF the island to the
dress and costumes of the past.
From this sturdy stock near the vii
lage of Sheriff came the venerable
German patriot and poet of the last
century, Ernst Moritz Arndt, who
accomplished so much toward the
abolition Of serfdom in Sweden and
Prussia.
"a little world within itself. of
cultivated farms and stored hills, of
rugged cliffs and bathing beaches,
Rugen, soon to be united to the
great world by modern engineering
skill, still dreams away its summer
hours unmoved by approaching
commerce"

RECALLS TRIUMPH
OF OLD IR0NSIDES
Constitution Is Flag Draped
on 1@th Anniversary

Boston, Aug. 9.-(Pl-The United
States frigate Constitution. now I'M
dergoing reconstruction at the navy
yard here, was flag draped today in
honor of the 115th anniversary of
Old Ironsides' victory over the Brit
ish frigate Guerriere.
A bulletin from the navy yard re-
viewed that battle. Three days after
the Constitution sailed from Boston
she met his British majesty's frigate
Guerrero and there occurred one of
the most important naval engage
ments OF history. Old Ironsides re-
duced the British frigate to a hope
hours time. The memorable battle
occurred on August 10, 1912.
"A few days later Old Jronsides
sailed into Boston harbor with flags
flying and guns booming, with her
prisoners of war and the glad tidings
that our much despised infant navy
had been successful in an encounter
with the Guerrero, proving to the
world that, ship for ship, we had
nothing to fear. At this time our
military operations upon land had
been very disastrous, defeat after de-
feat of our forces having occurred.
Old Ironsides' victory electrified the
country. creating a firm resolve
among the American people to con-
tinue the war to a successful ter
mipatiOn"
Her active career at an end, the
historic ship was saved to posterity
by the appeal of the poet Oliver
Wendell Holmes, beginning AYE,
tear her tattered ensign down, long
has it waved On high" Warped into
berth at the navy yard, the Con-
stitution became the stellar attrac-
ton for visitors until slow rotting
made it appear that she could not
survive longer. A nationwide appeal
for funds brought response which
made possible the rebuilding now in
progress.
The greatest task now confronting
the naval architects is to find suit
able materials for the building. New
England once built wooden ships to
sail the seven seas but today most
of the yards have disappeared. Some
hardened oak. we'll seasoned in
Florida waters, has been brought 10
the yard but the contry is still being
combed for the other materials
needed.
