20,40O Cases Handled.
During the Is years of its existence
the Mixed Claims Commission has
handled 20,400 cases growing out OF
World War claims and has mace
awards to American claimants in 6,04l
cases totaling $274000,000, of which
s138, 100000 already has been paid.
Mrs. Drier. then Miss McNider OF
Montpelier, Vt, vent to Dresden
nearly 40 years ago to study music.
and while therein l889-married
Baron Georg Won Rosenberg. The
Aar iaI ~, haO1taat had IN
his widow Bonneville Castle, at Pirna,
Saxony, near Dresden.
In 1913 the baroness married John
C. L. Drier, then in the American
consular service in Dresden. and
when the war broke Gus. they were
forced to leave their home and come
to the United States. =
The German government took pos
session of the property, treated it as
belonging to an enemy alien. and it
was finally sold by ar administrator
for $4,000 paper marks, then valued
at $15,oos.
Valued at 100000.
Mrs. Drier went before the Mixed
Claims Commission with a claim that
the property consisted of the castle
and 210 acres of forest and agricul-
tural land. valued at 100000. In
her behalf, the American agent before
the commission asserted it had been
disposed of for "ridiculously small
sum" and sought an award for the
actual value.
The commission made an original
award of $4,000 and gave her the
right to come before 1t again If she
was unable. through action in the
German courts, to secure possession of
the property.
When Mrs. Drier lost her case in
the German courts, the commission
made her an additional award of
s250,000, bringing the total to
1898, 900.
In her behalf the American agent
filed a claim for 100000 more and
1t was on this claim that Justice
Roberts ruled adversely. The German
agent, previous to the umpire's deci-
sion, had made a tentative offer of
100000 in final and full settlement,
but no decision had been reached on
that offer at the time of the umpire's
findings.

art OF BORING"
A., IN SEVEN VOLUMES:
WE DON'T NEED IT

"The Art Of Boring" in seven vol
umes. Bertrand Russell promises to
write 1t.
TO whet our appetites he men,
toned the scholarly bore, the funny
bore, the story telling or reminiscing
bore, etc., ETC., etc.
We really don't need seven vol
umes to tell us how to bore people,
nor even one. For all the bores you
can possibly think of come easily I'M
der one head. If you want to emu
late them you need do but one thing
talk about what interests you rather
than stop to think what will interest
the person you are talking to.
The woman who talks about her
children does that.
The man who talks about himself
does that. Sometimes its about his
success, how he did thus and so,
sometimes Its about how a stupid
world kept him from being success
full or happy.
The wise-cracking bore and the
reminiscing bore and the superior,
pedantic bore, they are all doing that
talking about what interests them
only.
That's their way Of enjoying peo.
pie. Then don't they care, you mas
ask, about whether people enjoy
them? OF course they care. There
isn't the most unmitigated bore alive
who IL he could help 1t would enjoy
himself at the cost Of boring people.
The point is they just don't stop to
consider that side Of 1t.
And come to think of 1t, the person
who does not use others for an audi
ence but who enjoys others by draw
ing them out, really gets SO much
more out Of his contacts. If the
others tried that way they would
never go back to boring people.

The world depression has not
dimmed in the slightest degree the
prosperity of the little village of
Langbuoi, in French Indo-China, the
inhabitants of which continue to turn
out paper money by the ton to be
burned at funerals so the deceased
will have plenty of money In the
next world.
Dard Hunter, one of the leading
authorities in this country on the
art of papermaking, would not how
ever, recommend the same panacea
for the United States prosperity, he
said on his return after a four
months journey to the Far East.
Mr.. Hunter, whose contributions
to the art of papermaking have won
him the title Of "the modern Guten-
berg" and the gold medal of the
American Institute Of Graphic Arts,
went to Langbuoi because he had
heard that its inhabitants were oper-
ating the oldest paper mill in the
world. He reported that the Lang
buoi villagers were carrying on the
craft Of papermaking which their an
cestors first began on the same site
about 700 years ago.
''Their papermaking methods are
very primitive and crude" Mr.. Hun
ter explained. Apparently, they
have not changed in any marked
degree since the invention of paper
away back in $50 A. D. The product
turned out by the villagers of Lang
buoi is pretty terrible stuff. How
ever, they are satisfied with 1t and
don't seem to be able to turn out
enough of the spirit money, for
which there is a great demand all
through Indo-China."
About 400 men, women and chill
dren live in Langbuoi, which is a
thatched-roof settlement along a
mud trail on the edge of the jungle
fifteen miles north of Hanoi. All
the Inhabitants work on some phase
Of papermaking. But the best crafts
manship and the chief energies of
the villagers are devoted to the pro-
duction Of spirit money.
There are two principal varieties
Of this money. One kind consists of
ordinary perforated paper; this is
used at the funerals of ordinary citi-
zens, who, it is believed, will have
no great need of large funds in
heaven. A special brand of spirit
money, artfully decorated with Law
ish illustrations of gods, is burned
at the funeral of the "aristocrats'
of Indo-China. The "aristOcratic"
brand of spirit money is in high de-
nominations. 1t burns with a heavy,
acrid smoke, which floats lazily to-
ward the blue skies, but eventually
manages to reach the departed aris-
tocrat In heaven, according to the
firm belief of the Indo-Chinese
priests.
The paper mills of Langbuoi are
probably the most remote and mac
cessible in the world. Mr.. Hunter
said. In spite Of this, Langbuoi Is
the chief source of paper for all In
do-China. The daily output aver
ages about 100 reams of 500 sheets
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1935-11-14
Burn Money in Honor Of
the Dead I'm Indo-China

each--almost all of which consists
of spirit money.
Bamboo fibers, plentiful In the
nearby jungles, are the source os
Langbuoi's paper. The bamboo Is
cut and then boiled in lime. Then
1t Is washed In a stream meander-
ing through the village and beaten
by hand until 1t becomes pulp. The
pulp is placed next in wooden vat
containing water. When a screen
Of bamboo reeds is dipped In this
vat the bamboo fibers cling to the
screen. These fibers are removed
and made into the famous Lang
buoi paper.
Two cases filed with LangbuOi
spirit money were among Mr.. Hun
ter's luggage. Some of this money
will be used to illustrate a book
his fifteenth-which Mr.. Hunter will
write on the origin and history of
papermaking. The rest will 60 to
