HAGUE IS CAPITAL | FOR CONFERENGES Only Death Announcer Detracts From City's Modernism Washington, D. C., Aug. 19 —The Owen D. Young plan conference at The Hague brings Holland's capital and one of the world's peace capi- tals into the news limelight again. The Hague is in southwestern Hol- land about two miles inland from Scheveningen on the coast. “The tourist on his first trip to Holland might mistake The Hague for a transplanted French city,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. ., headquarters of the National Geographic society. “There are no signs of windmills or quaint Dutch | caps or wooden sabots or any of the colorful things that first visitors to Holland expect to see even in the cities. Death Agnouncer Gives Touch of Past “Except for the occasional Aans- preker who trends the streets, the inhabitants look like any crowd of New Yorkers that one might pick out at random. The Aanspreker, the modern survivor of an early custom, makes the rounds of the neighbor- hoods announcing deaths. He is at- tired in somber black with a large tri-cornered hat from which hangs a floating black streamer; and square toed black pumps with huge silver:buckles. Sometimes in the fish market there may be seen fisher- women from Scheveningen in pic- turesque peasant costume. “Even the buildings of The Hague have a French touch. Although they | are mostly the square, solid struc- ture usually associated with Dutch architecture, they are embellished | with decorativé motifs in the French manner. Exquisite lace curtains adorn the windows of the large pri- vate houses. Dwellings ‘where the | door is decorated with a large square of lace, bearing in the center an em- broldered coat of arms, are an- nouncing the advent of a child in the “The wide streets of The Hague with their flat, yellow stone pave- ments are immaculately clean. Large automobiles bearing coats of arms, and splendid carriages roll through the streets. The city is the home of | many of the Dutch nobility. Besides | these peeple with their picturesque but little-used titles of count, baron and jonkeer, are wealthy Hiplomats | from all the countries of Europe The wealth embodied in the popula- tion is shown in the handsome | houses of the city and the spacious shops which line Spui Straat and the | Lange Poten. They Commute in Holland Too “Compared with Amsterdam and Rotterdam, The Hague has very few canals. Those that exist are found in the by-ways rather than in the main | streets. However a resident of The Hague can view all the canals he desires by taking the railway trip of one hour to Amsterdam or the half | hour trip to Rotterdam. Many tired | business men, wearied of the com- mercial aspects of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, commute every day to the comparative quiet of The Hague. Like Washington, D. C, it is a city of few industries. “Also just as Washington has its famous Rock Creek Park, The Hague has its famous Bosch, a large wood cast of the city, where tame deer roam. Numerous precise little paths intersect this heavily wooded area. The Huis ten Bosch, or House in the the Woods, a villa erected in 1647, 1s located in the northeast cor- ner of the park. It is noted for its interior done in Dutch, Japanese and Chinese. In the Japanese room is a chandelier made of cups and saucers. The Chinese room is papered in 1Sth century rice paper. “Washington, D. C., has its reflec- ting poor mirroring the Lincoln Me- morial, and The Hague has the Vy- ver, & lake situated almost in the center of the town, and surrounded | v handsome buildings which its re- flects. Near-by stands the Binnenhof, a group of medieval buildings. The Hall of Knights, a lofty gabled and turreted buildings, is the most prom- inent. Perhaps the most famous buildng in The Hague is the Palace of Peace, built largely through the munificence of the late Andrew Car- negie. It was constructed from a de- | sign submitted in an international | competition, and it is of brick sct | oif by marble trimmings. The Hague | can be quickly eased with ACIDINE, the new discovery, because it eliminates excessacid and digests starchy foods. out of every ten suffer from starcl gesting failure or as Webster's Diction- ary puts it “Diastatic Deficlency.” ONLY IN ACIDINE CAN YOU FIND AN EXTRAORDINARY ANTI-ACID PLUS THE EXTRA- ORDINARY STARCH DIGESTANT IJAPTASE” WHICH DIGESTS 800 TIMES ITS OWN WEIGHT IN STARCHY FOODS.
