The work of determining who they are is one of' the most difficult tasks of the government, which is aided by several private agencies. According to officials, the search In most instances is for the grand parents. Often clues originate in the sad work, continuing 15 years after the Armistice, of identifying was dead in the former trenches of the northern departments. Such clues may take the form of an old letter or photograph miraculously preserv ed in a pollu's tunic. Although the task of determining the antecedents of war orphans would discourage many professional geneologlsts, the government yearly reports Hundreds of cases of re united brothers and sisters, grand parents and grandchildren and more rarely mother and child.

Park er and West believe the log was cut and dated by an early day Wiscon sin evplorer. Historians state that the first white man came to the state In 1660. Many men are tired of the monotony of plain fab rics in clothing. For the most part, men don't admit this in so many words, but their feeling is evidenced by a lack of interest in clothing. However, this- -situation surely Is not going to exist next fall.- Pattern, con spicuous and subdued, col orful and conservative, but nevertheless pattern. Is the outstanding characteristic of the new clothing fabrics. What are the new pat terns? Three words tell the whole story plaids, checks and stripes. Clan plaids will be par ticularly popular. These are derived from the orig inal Scottish designs by which tXe various clans of Scotland Identify them selves. These plaids appear In their authentic Scotch color combinations. The new Clan plaids Include the so-called Olen plaids, which are the original Scotch designs, and also large over-plaids. For men who prefer more subdued patterns, ex tremely vague plaids are shown. Shadow-plaids, which look Just like the name Implies, are also meant for the more sedate dressers, If Checks will also be an important scheme in fall clothing. These new checks are called "Highland" and appear In a considerable variety of styles and colors from large Tartan checks to genteel needle checks. There are always a cer tain number of men who like a "bankcrlsh" appear ance in their attire and for these the new Newport stripes nave been developed. . In contrast to the prosaic stripes of old, these are strikingly new and may be selected either sharply con trasted with the suit fabric. or subdued. A large variety of pat terns will also be shown In the new overcoats. But the most noteworthy thing about overcoats next season will be the contrast backs. This Is ft special linirm, made of wool or worsted. Plaid liU thli ara popular. At tho present writing, it seems that browns will be especially popu lar. Tills Is a good thing, because brown Is the one color which is be coming to most men. Blue -grays are also In tho style spotlight. An xample of checb and ttrlpts the color and pattern of which con trast sharply with the color and pattern of the coat itself. Many of these linings are plaid. Double-breasted suits are becom ing more and more popular. The old Idea that a double-breasted suit wasn't comfortable Is entirely false now tnat tne new lounge construc tion is appearing. It makes the double-breasted style Just as practical and easy to wear as tne suigie-Dreastea. 9. Deer Steals Corn On New Yorker's Farm Lock port, N. Y.

GERMAN HEAD'S HOME REBUILT THIS SUMMER Berlin, (IW President Paul von Hinddenberg's extended stay at Neudeck gave rla to some specu lative comment abroad, but any fears foreigners may have had are regarded by observers here u un founded. It Is poined out that the vet eran President Is absent from the capital every summer spending the season at one of his hunting lodges, either at Dietramszell, Bavaria, or at schortneiae, Prussia, or at his family estate at Neudeck, situated on the east-Prussian border where most of Hlndenberg's friends reside. One reason for his extended stay at Neudeck was the remodeling of the presidential palace in Berlin which has Just been completed. It la understood, however, that von Hindenberg Is unwilling to leave, the country until the summer be- glns to wane, since August Is usually a dead month from a political point of view, and most prominent people are out of town. His dally routine at Neudeck closely follows that In Berlin. The President rises at 6 a.m., dons kni ckers or a hunter's suit, feeds his chickens, inspects his livestock, then takes his own breakfast. Immed iately after the meal he listens to a brief political report from his son Oskar or Otto Meissner, head of the President's secretariat. - Placer Mining Call " To Jobless of West Salt Lake City, Utah (IP) Addi tional evidence that unemployed men are seeking gold in the hills to escape effects of the economic de pression was seen In the report of Miss Joanna Spi'ague, Salt Lake City librarian. ,.
