SEASON IN SCOTLAND IS OPENING EARLIER Highland Exhibition at Inverness Is Attracting Many Visitors. LONDON (N.A.N.A.).—The season in Scotland is opening earlier this year, as the King and Queen are about to g0 to Balmoral, while the Duke and Duchess of York are already at Glamis Castle. An event attracting a number of | visitors is the Highland exhibition now in progress at Inverness and continuing | until September 20. This has been ar- | ranged to illustrate the evolution of the Scottish people and includes relics of romantic, dramatic and historical epl- es. The display of Tartans is the most | eomplete ever exhibited, and there are badges and distribution maps showing | the rise and fall of the different clans, . specimens of the arts and crafts of the people, their old tools, their old furni- ture and photographs of typical working scenes and cottage interiors. An old-time cottage might be com- pletely equipped and furnished with the exhibits in the domestic housing section, which includes all sorts of cooking, dairy and weaving implements and & collection of arms, including flintlocks belonging to the Fraser Fencibles, two- handed swords, Highland guns and a Cromwellian breastplate. Many of the historical relics relate to | the great Marquis of Montrose—his knife, fork and carvers are there, and also part of the helmet won by Claver- | house. Bonnie Prince Charlie, if he lived again, would find an almost com- | plete wardrobs, and there are many of | Flora MacDonald’s most prized posses- | stons, including the brooch given her by the prince. The whisky flask filled and taken | daily to James Fraser IX of Foyers by | his faithful adherents when he was in hiding in the Highlands has been brought to the exhibition, and there is also an interesting piece of armor | worn by an earlier Fraser of Foyers in | the lists of Prance when he overcame a | well known French champion in 1425 (Copyright. 1930, by North American News- | Daper Alllance ) INWANTRY RESERVE MEN ORDERED T0 FORT MEADE Fourteen Dflcflr: Wfithlnz'nn Resi- dents, to Take Two Weeks' Train- ing Under Army Instructors.
