Mr.. Fixit; Could you tell me
he value Of n picture ! have Of
President George Washington
md family: Also have n
tudent violin with this name
'rinted inside ON paper. Copy
u Antonlus stradivarius, made
n Germany" Please tell me
The value Of both.
REV. Il. l. NJ.
We are confident we can tell
'ou the picture has no value
'ther than as decoration In
'our home and the violin none
'esides its intrinsic value as a
instrument. The pic
ure would have to be an orig
nal painting to be worth any
hing.

Mr.. Fixit: We've had an argu-
nent concerning Dutch and
German. She says that In this
people who come direct
Y from Germany are called
Dutch. just the same rs those
rom Holland. say people
rom Germany are Germans and
,eople from Holland are Dutch
men. Hollanders were years
lgo exilcs from Germany. Who
Is right: claim n true Ger
man would get mad II you call
ID him Dutch.
MRS. II. II. n.
A true Dutchman might get
mad II you called him German
lust at present. Originally the
,erm Dutch was applied to per-
sons from Germany but in mod
,rn English it is used only to
describe persons from The
Netherlands. or of that stock.
she" may confuse Dutch
with Deutseh. To a German his
language is Deutsch. the people
oeutscher and the country
Deutschland. Since The Neither
ands is the richest land peopled
,y Germanie race. you hardly
an call its people exiles.
To "Hollander," his lam
,uage is Netherlands and his
people Nederlander.
