DAILY PIONEER e A P “SERVICE” FOR LEGION ALSO! Raymond Brackett, of Marblehead, Mass., “Delivered the Goods” During the World War. When--Raymond O. Brackett was running a hotel in Marblehead, Mass., he believed in = giving his guests When his__patrons or- derea up an Oy- ster stew, they were ‘sure to find plenty of oysters In it. When the war began_ to be men- tioned In the pa- pers, Mr. Brack- ett, whose grand- father, uncle, and . In the Civil war, closed hig:desk, hung up his “be back late sign, and joined the navy. The Germans having ordered up a war, Mr. Brackett, in his customary style, saw to ‘it that they got “service.” If war was what they wanted, he was willing to fill their order. On October 1, then a full- fledged lieutenant, he steamed out in his U. S. S. Lake View and filled the North sea 'so full of mines that there was' very little actual water left. It was on the Lake View that he wit- nessed the sinking of the German fleet at Scapa Flow. ‘When Lieutenant Brackett returned he took idown his sign, opened his desk, and found a notice of his elec- tion ‘as one of the natlonal, vice-com- manders of the American Fegion, in which capacity he is still giving “serv- 1ce.” & Rubber and Maple Sugar. An interesting parallel has fbeen drawn between the different varieties of rubber trees in the tropics and those of maple trees in this country. Out of about 1,000 varieties of trees, ‘all of which produce more or less rub- ber sap, oply forty or fitty have been found whose product is considered ‘commercially valuable. When a would-be cultivator of rub- ber goes to a tropical country and sets out @ plantationof rubber trees, which gy‘nhfim know do not belong to the ifght variety, he causes-ainused com- ment, such as would be excited by a South American who came to the Uni- ted States anl maples with the expectation of ob- taining sugar sap. Bxperience has shown that . excellent rubber trees transplanted from their native habi- tat or other regions having apparent- 1y identical soll and climate may flour- ish in growth, yet lose thelir producing power. Rubber culture requires great expert knowledge. Faithfully she sat down and wrote T her diary.

This on the authority of | DiEstourndlles de Constant, directors| of “national museums, j “Tlifs {8 an old story,” said the di-] retor. “It is-not the first time that the authenticity of our. masterpieces has been questioned by foreign collec-; torss There seems to be no way of putting a stop to the habit. “The. palnting entered among our collections under the title of ‘La Belle Ferronniere’ was certainly from the brish of Leonardo da Vinci himself. It was~among the art treasures of Prancis L and, in 1642, Pere Dan, the king’s minister of finances, identified it as the portrait of the duchess of Mantau. Certain historlans, on the. other hand, have maintained -that it was that of Lucrezia Crivell. It is generally conceded today that the plc- ture represents La Belle Ferroniere, one of Francis I's favorites. “Whoever it may represent, how- ever, the painting had always hung in the private apartments.of the king until 1t was transferred to the Louvre.
