Q OLD KENTUCKY SWISS COLONY BOWSTODRYS Talents In Wine And Beer Manufacture No Longer Needed London, Ky., Dec. 7 —(UP) —in these days of prohibition and resless youth, the little Swiss colony up on a plateau eight miles from here is finding it hard going. iWhen the colonists first came to south central Kentucky in the 19th century, prohibition was a dream of a few idealis.s, unbacked by laws ex rept one or two states, ami the making of wines and beers was recognized as an art. Kentucky saw the talents of the col onists, and as a welcoming gesture quickly passed a law giving them full pe: mission to manufacture wines and beers without taxation and without molestation in any t'orfafor a period of 25 years. The law might have been renewed if it had not been for prohibition. ' "But after the law ran out, first ■ame local option, and then came a state law. and then came a national law. and now we can't make it but the bootlegger can" R. Ott. who with his wife has been running the little country store in the colony for most of 50 years, said. The colony also is having trouble keeping itself together became the young Swiss, growing up and studying in the Kentucky schools under American teachers, are wondering about the big United States outside of the colony and they are going out to learn. Only 13 Families Left Once there were 250 families, but today only 13 of them are left, and there are few representatives of the others They have gone away in search of wealth and fame, some to Louisville, some to the west, and some have come to London, the county seat and business center of this section of Kentucky Now there are only a handful of young i»en and women to take over the farms of their fathers, and American families are going into .he colony in increasing numbess. . The colony was founded in 18S1 by a group of families mostly from Berne and it was named Bernstadt in honor of the old city. The idea of the colony was conceived by Im Obsrstet, a who had an eye to the future. He made a tour of the United States, and finally selected the location because of its'excellent soil and elevation and because Mis. Ott said, the land w is cheap. Oberstet bought 40.000 acres trim Kentucky at $1 an acre, and returned to his count!y to organize his colonists He had lit le trouble finding Swiss w ho were willing to come to America. In all he succeeded in sending ovei 250 families led by Paul Shenk, son of a Swiss persident, and Otto Bruner, a professor in the Agricultural College of Switzerland. o__ 0 __ Credited to Milton It is supposed that Milton was the first to use the figurative expression “Silver lining in clouds." In “Cornua" Milton tells of the lady lost in the wood who resolved to hope on and sees a "sable cloud turn forth Its silver lining to the night.” The ex pression means the prospect of better days, the promise of Imppier times, notwithstanding Hie present. Evi! in Stagnant Air The interesting discovery has been made that the chief cause of fatigue in workshops Is air stagnation. The harm that stagnant air does is not to the lungs, but to the skin because it lowers its cooling power.. — " ■■■■— O—- —— Perfection’s Height Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge, | and dares to forgive an injury.—E.

STYLE ARBITER HOTLY ATTACKS MEN’S APPAREL I French Brummel Particularly Appalled By Overcoats of the Mode By Samuel Dazhlell, , IT Staff Correspondent. Paris, Dec. 7—(UP) —This winter . in Paris evidently is going to be a • winter of sartorial discontent. Two authorities on trousers, neck- - ties, shirts, hats, shoes and shoestrings. and the manner of wearing them are at odds. Andre de Foil- > quieres. the Beau Brummel of the City of Light, who can tell perspiring knights whether or not they should wear their decorations on their pajatfias. or confine their ribbons simply to their suits and overcoats, is all for the present regime of cloak and suit model 20th century apparel worn exclusively by a mere 850,000,000 of this world's inhabitants. Maurice de Waleffe, Parisian journalist. exponent of knee breeches, velvet coats, self starting shoes and other frivo|s of haberdashery, has come out with a- virulent article against the prevailing overcoat. De Waleffe, merciless campaigner against standardized clothes, believes men are simply a lot of idiots who do what they are told, wear what they are told and look stupidly like on another. "Horrible, Ridiculous” The oncoming winter lias drawn forth a perforation from de Waleffe on the hideous, coffin-like qualities of the average overcoat. He asks why can’t men wear the capes, long or short, of Balzac, of Dumas, of Alfred de Musset, such as men wore only a century ago, instead of the fog or mud colored garments itiiat are cut to the knees. The present day overcoat, de Wai effe contends, is a horrible, unesthetic, and ridiculous affair, which men wear because they lack either the courage or the good taste to abandon. Man can be saved from this ugliness only by womankind, de Waleffe asserts. “lit is to the ladies that mankind must turn to find release from these awful square cut. hammer-and-saw clothes. When they, at last, find that men are terrible looking in these chair coverings that they wear, they will arrange that men wear more harmonious apparel." De Waleffe says that the Greeks and Romans, who could not be really accused of being weaklings, wordraped garments and seemed to do very well. Even the gentlemen of the middle ages, when swords were as ready and even more so than fists are today, wore silk and velvet and lace, and art is rich in the reproductions of these colorful garments. But despite this ferocious attack on the cloak and suit merchants, the mode seems to be triumphing. French elo/hes for men, which up into the war did vary a little, have now dropped down to a standard whith is even more deadly than that of England or America. The French overcoat this year is not only cut -square at the shoulders, but it has a certain upward tilt that one can attain oqly by turning the clothes hanger upside down. Shoulders this winter are being worn upward, and really fashionable men might start training now by developing reversible collar bones. o— ROYAL CHILDREN VISIT VATICAN co vriM ••■.!• runs r m.k okiri Queen Elena, and the wife of Ambassador Devecchl.

middle chair was occupied by the crown prince, with Princess Giovanna to his right, aud Princess Marla to his Jett. The visit lasted about 20 minutes, during which gifts were exchanged. The pope presented Humbert with three of this year’s papal medals, gold, silver and bronze, slightly smaller than those presented to Queen Elena and King Victor Emanuel Thursday, To the crown prince, the pontiff also gave an artistic miniature bearing the pope's effigy. To Giovanna lie gave a rosary as well as a miniature with allegories of the pope's sacredotal jubilee. He gave Princess Maria a gold and coral rosary and a niinlaturo portraying the Holy Child and the angels. Princesses Giovanna and Maria presented to the pontiff two handsome crystal eases adorned with the papal coat of arms with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy at the base.
