THE EVENING GIRL BARGE TENANT ANCIENT VILLAGE OF PICTS T0 WED PUBLSHER Former Pennsylvania Gov- ernor’s Daughter Sought Artistic Career. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 27.—Isobel Stone, daughter of the late William A. Stone, one-time Governor of Pennsyl- ‘vania, who was found last Summer liv- ing with her sister on an abandoned barge in Sherman Creek, is to marry Henry Harrison, poet and publisher. « Announcement of the engagement was made by Miss Stone from the office of her fiance here. Discovery of the two girls, who gave up society for artistic careers, living in poverty, created quite a stir at the time. Their father had been considered a ‘wealthy man, and it was believed he had left a large estate. Their plight was blamed by relatives on their “strong- headedness” in insisting on artistic careers. Miss Stone revealed that she met her future husband through her writing. He accepted some poems she had writ- ten and then, as she expressed it, she accepted him as her future husband. No date has been set for the wedding, but when they are married, Miss Stone says, it wil be no “ultramodern Green- wich Village affair.” They will live in the village, however, in a house Miss Stone recently acquired. Both Miss Stone and Mr. Harrison are 25 years old. He was formerly edi- tor of the Greenwich Village Quill and now edits and publishes annually “The Grub Street Book of Verse.” Miss Stone is a former opera singer, having appeared with the San Cario Opera Co., and she has also appeared in several Broadway productions. She re- sides with her sister, Peggy O'Neill, a sculptor, in Greenwich Village. CAPITAL MAN NAMED TO RAILWAY POST J. H. Hanna Chosen a Vice Presi- dent of American Electric Association.

FOUND BURIED ON ISLANDS Underground— Town, With Houses and Streets Complete, Unearthed in Orkneys. Special Dispatch to The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. LONDON, England, September 27.— Was the city of the future, in which, according to some learned prophets, we shall live and move and have our be- ing, anticipated by the Picts of the early Christian era, who fought hardily for a precarious livelihood in the deso- late island to the north of Scotland? . Gordon Childe of Edinburgh versity, distinguished antiquarian, has just returned to London from the Orkney Islands, and he describes his remarkable discovery there of an an- cient underground village,. complete with streets and houses, near the storm- swept Bay of Skaill, on Mainland. The village, which has been partly excavated, is considered by Prof. Childe to constitute a discovery unique in Western Europe. So far six huts have been unearthed, with paved floors, stone shelves and cells, where Picts of the early Christian period lived and died. The streets, roofed over with great stone slabs, are not more than 4 fee* high. but a skeleton of a woman 5 feet 6 inches tall has been discovered. The subterranean streets are narrow and winding. with irregular twists and turns. The houses, or huts, in which these people lived, lead off the streets at The Red-Headed Music Maker Wendell "Hall offers a new one “Polly Wolly Doodle”—*If I Only Knew” No. 4024 2 —GOOD SELECTIONS ON EVERY BRUNSWICK RECORD =3 intervals of about 15 feet.

Even an attempt at drainage had evi- dently been made in one of the huts. A sloping trough ran across its floor, covered with stone slabs and leading away toward the sea through a tunnel in the wall opposite the doorway. It has not yet been discovered precisely where the tunnel leads, but it certainiv ends either in a sand bed or in the sca itself.

C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER found on the floors of most of the huts, and the remains of numerous meals and other traces of human life. Furniture of Stone. ‘The furniture of those remote times was of stone, and consisted in the main of a kind of family table and benches. Plates and dishes were either of whale- bone or baked clay of crude design. The warlike side of the adult Pict's nature was indicated by stone axheads and great maceheads found in the streets and huts. The professor believes the people must have hunted above ground in the daytime and at nigh have climbed down, by ways not yet subterranearn into their 27, 1928, streets and crawled on all fours to their homes, where they ate round the family table and retired for the night. The discovery of the village was due to the action of the sea in breaking away part of the sand dune in which the town had become embedded. Two more skeletons, besides the ove referred to, were found, both excellently preserved. When examined by an an- thropologist these will undoubtedly yield vaiuable data regarding the origin of the people of Skara Brae. Prof. Childe feels sure the Pict camp- ed above ground, but is not quite cer- tain why he chose to live this subter- ranean life. He may have done so as a measure against attack, but more 35 MORMONS GAIN IN FRANCE. Missionaries Have Record of 600 Converts in Six Months. PARIS, (#).—Mormon missionaries have started a campaign to convert the country of Rabelais and Montaigne to the doctrine of Latter Day Saints. Eight presidents of European mis- sions founded by the Mormon Churcn have been holding a congress under the direction of John A. Didtsoe, one of the 12 apostles. Approximately 600 converts to Mormonism have been made within the last six months. probably because of adverse climatic conditions. The streets, though not morz than 3 fect wide, are definite thorough- fares along which, says the professor, thousands must have crawled. It has not yet bheen determined whether there was in the village any- thing in the way of a “city hall,” how far the street area extended, or by what means the Pict climbed up ard down from his lair. The village will be pressrved as a permanent monument, accessible to visitors.
