That was nearly German name “raben,” which is two thousand years ago, and there pronounced just like robin but are no traces left of these little peo- which in English is translated into pie, a race which, probably, also raV en. lived in underground dwellings all over Northern Europe. A British scientist who has been •studying the subject says that the widespread belief in a race of fair ies, harmless little folk who live in the wilds, undoubtedly has come down through generations of tra dition about this extinct tribe of earth dwellers. RELIGION . . . the newer concept— Professor Robert Millikan, world famous scientist, makes the surpris ing statement that among scientific workers religious faith is more manifest among the younger men than among the older.

They don’t earn any interest on the investment until they are sold, but there never has been a time when a person owning a good diamond could not raise cash upon it on al most a minute’s notice. More wealth can be concentrated in a small space in the form of diamonds than in any other commodiiy, and the tendency, for a long period of i years, has always been toward in creasing vames. Buying djpmonds is cretainly better tfcan hoarding cash in ^ife deposit, because the money nv^st- ed in diamonds does not go out of circulation, but continues to pass from hand to nand. • ' pATTERIES FOR ALL LIGHT CARS , Citation Of Letters .Of Administration STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick.
