stand today as a testimonial to
Jewish pioneering capacity and as
a challenge to those that wish to

To the maintenance of this spir-
it, to the furtherance of this
progress, to extending and forti-

When the sun set on the 29th
day of the Hebrew month of Elul,
the seventh century in the sixth
millennium of the Hebrew calendar
came to a close. A new century
dawns in the life of a people that

There is comfort, buttressed by
spiritual strength, in this mere
statement of the calendar Sc

of the struggle that our people

for its spiritual values and ideals,

GOOD NEWS

Recently Mr. .Pouls of the Territor- ial Dep ortment of Hoalth, visited in Pa1ror and set up in our local hospital laboratory . pneumonia typing unit. This is to be used by the hospital staff to determine the type of germ that causes pneumonia.
 After the type has been discovered serum can be given to the patient. Altho our hospital has been doing these typing tests this new equip ment will be of cons iderable help. It is believed that the death rate caused by pneumonia can be greatly reduced by the use of erum.
 Unfortunately all types of ecrum have not yet been dis covered. We must be thankful that we have made many di s coveries already. During --ifr Pauls visit he arranged for tho hospital staff to see several reels of educational pictures on the cure and treat ment of pnaumonia.

If you 60 in for sports (and of
course you do, for the trend is
more and more toward frolic and
fun of life in the great outdoors)
you'll be wanting a lightweight
sweater jacket, designed for activ-
ity and comfort. Here's one, shown
to the left in the picture, just the
sort you will appreciate and treas
ure the entire season and on into
fall and winter. It's crocheted cas-
lily and economically Of lustrous
mercerized crochet cotton. Choose
your own color combinations, but
turquoise and ecru are particularly
recommended for a nice harmony.
In this model the front is worked in
ecru with bands of turquoise trim
ming the pockets, closing, collar
and shoulders, while the back is
crocheted in solid turquoise. The
design calls for unusually simple
crocheting, using only the easy sim
gle crochet stitch with alternate
loops front and back for the ridge
effect.
The field Of handkerchief reaches
out beyond sweaters this season. II
you will take the time to inquire
at fancywork departments you will
find that entire dresses are being
beautifully crocheted in mercerized
cottons that come in delightful col
orings. There is every encourage
ment in undertaking the crocheting
of complete dress, chiefly because
modern mercerized crochet cottons
have been so perfected they work
up without bulkiness or undue
weight, making the ideal garment
for summer. The openwork of lacy
crochet makes it the coolest thing
you can wear on torrid day.
Most important is the way in
which the new crocheted frocks fit
and mold the figure. Dressmaker
touches are stressed while skirts are
made to swing with the new ''young
look"

20 Thrill-P acked Years

w HEN Lewis Littlepage Of
w Fredericksburg, Va, went to
Spain as an attache to the American
embassy, he was only IS but already
famous as poet. Next he served
in the Spanish and French armies
and became a friend of Lafayette.
Made a chevalier Of France, he
returned to America to fight in the
Revolution but was thwarted in that
ambition. In 1886 he accompanied
the young Polish patriot, Kosciusko,
to Warsaw where King Stanislaus
made him q baron at the age of 24l
He was sent to make a treaty with
Empress Catherine of Russia, who
became very fond Of him.
When the war between Russia and
Turkey started, she commissioned
him major-general in her army
and he later served under the adj
miral Of her feet, John Paul Jones.
He remained at the Russian court
until 1871, then returned to Warsaw
where he was made major-general
in the Polish army.
Wnen the PollSn repelilon against
Russia failed, Kosciusko and Little
page went to Paris to try to rescue
their friend, Lafayette, imprisoned
during the Reign of Terror. They
failed and Kosciusko returned to
Warsaw to try again to win freedom
for Poland. Littlepage joined him
and was wounded in the battle in
which Kosciusko fell.
Littlepage then returned to Amer
lea and retired to his home in Fred
ericksburg where he was later Wis
tied by his old friend, Lafayette. He
was only 80 when he died in 1901 but
into that short span of years he had
packed whole lifetime Of danger
and thrills.

Rebel Against Rebellion

"A T THE outbreak Of the Civil war
"a a band of about 100 citizens of
Jones county, Mississippi, refused to
identity themselves with the Confed-
eracy. Under the leadership of one
Newt Knight, they took refuge in
Leaf River swamp where they de-
fed all efforts to make them fight
under the Stars and Bars.
BY 1854 they had complete con-
troll of the county and out Of that
fact grew the story that this 'rebel-
lion within a rebellion" resulted in
forming a Republic of jones' with
Knight as its head. Mississippians
declare, however, that there is no
official record of any such ssrepub-
lie" ever having been launched and
they refer to these s'seceders from
secession" as the s'Newt Knight
band of deserters."
When the war was over and Con-
federate army veterans returned,
they induced the legislature to
change the name of the county from
sJones' to Davis" because they
said the conduct Of Knight had
made its name "a badge Of ignom-
my and term of reproach."
Knight always denied that he was
deserter but tried to get pension
from the federal government. He
was unsuccessful because the rec
ords at Washington failed to show
his name enrolled in the Union
army. However, there was some
compensation for him in the fact
that until his death in 1928, he was
widely known as the founder Of
the Republic of Jones'"

Jingling Jewelry
" Still Holds Fuvor

And still the colorful, picturesque
gypsy fashions 60 on in a mad,
merry program Of jingling brace
lets and necklaces, worn with sheer
lingerie waists the long sleeves of
which add interest to the mode. The
skirt in peasant fashion achieves
fullness via yards and yards of ma
terial gathered or pleated all around
or arriving at an expansive hem
line via a circular cut. A GUNNER
bund in bright colored silk wound
round the hips in true Romany FASH
ion completes the picture. The
newest version is the skirt of viv-
idly lowered print, silk, cotton or
linen weave as the case may be,
together with a blouse of the filnai-
est, daintiest, lace trimmed en-
trancing type that fancy can pic
ture. Clothes for night or day wear
are styled along this picturesque
gypsy technique, the floorlength
skirts distinguishing evening moods.

bers Of the younger set are so in

mails they are wearing them to their
very most dress-up parties. The
tiny ruffies that edge this pretty
dress emphasize the charm of sim
plicity. The all-white idea is main
tanned in the flowers she wears. A
great play is being made also on
chalk white, or frothy white or por-
celain white jewelry to the extent
that il, is worn with daytime dark
frocks as wei as with evening cos
tunes that are white throughout.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
Elmo Scott Watson
Great Lakes Raider

dlGdl LdhCS NdlOCl
lDURING the Civil war David n.
- Ross, an 18-year-old cadet in
the Georgia guards, was captured
and sent to Union prison camp on
Lake Erie. He escaped and made
his way to Canada, reporting to
Capt. John Yeates Beall, a Confed-
crate agent.
Ross joined Beall in plan to
take possession of the Philo Par
sons, lake steamer, and with it
capture the Michigan, Union war;
ship, use that to attack FIT. johnson
at Sandusky and release 1000 Con-
federates there.
On the morning of September 10,
1864, the Philo Parsons stopped at
Sandwich, Ont, to take on a party
of 20 men. At Maiden, a few miles
farther, 20 more came aboard. After
several more stops, the crew and
the other passengers found them
selves looking into the muzzles Of
pistols.
The captain relinquished COM
mand and Beall took over with Ross
as first mate. And then the S. S.
Island Queen with ITO Federal sol
diers aboard, pulled alongside. No
one knows why the soldiers permit
ted it, but after firing a few shots,
Beall and Ross leaped aboard with
a handful of men and captured the
crew which was too astonished to
resist.
They sailed on with their 40 I'm
ion soldiers in tow, but the S. S.
Michigan commander was ready for
them. Seeing the ship coming to-
ward them, the Philo Parsons
turned about and fed, docking in
the Detroit river where the raiders
fled to safety.
Ross, the 18-year-old cadet, who
had been first mate on the wild voy-
age, managed to get to Wilmington,
N. c., where he was made captain
in the secret service. General Grant,
during his second presidential adj
ministration, issued a pardon re-
lieving Ross Of the charges of pi-
racy.
