Mrs. Lang will join her husband in New- York. where he has been visiting and they expect to sail on the JOth lor the Canal Zone to resume the work there in the district schools of which Mr. Lang is superintendent. Mr. and Mrs. Lang have been in the Canal Zone for the past seven; in- and have during this time been engaged in educational won;. at which Mr. Lang as been very suc ?essfi:l and is now in charge of all 1 he American schools there Their home is at Bilbo Heights. but the work takes the husband I fT fj CTV l (Wv-"; isti 1 where the finest and most highly idealized type cf Interior Deeoratintr is involved, as in some of the finest churches and residences v.e have finish ed in the state. The preference for DUSTERHOFF INTER IORS in such cases is due to ths steadily growing conviction that DUSTERHOFF INTERIORS rep resent the highest standards of interior decorating. It is due also in great measure to the feel ing cf security inspired by cur policy . to do interior decorating of the finest qual ity only and of such derign and performance as to provide ;m cxce tie:;r.l value in DESIGN and DURABILITY beyond tiic most extreme requirement.

It went into the air and turned over. In the mix-up Mr. McCleary had 'an arm broken, a bad gash cut in the side of his head, and was badly bruised in the chest. While Mr. Sar gent was not so badly dealt with, his face gave evidence he had been in the wreck. Dr. Kline and Frank Domingo, al so residents of Weeping Water, had just passed the Ford in their Sedan and were about 50 yeards in front when they heard the report of the blow-out and looking back saw the accident.

The trip back to Colon from New- York will require in the neighbor hood of a week as the transports make a short stop at Hayti and from there go direct to the Atlantic en trance of the canal. This is the first vacation back to the states ior a number of years as during 'the war conditions were unsettled and Mr. ind Mrs. Lang spent their holiday period in Costa liica and the Central American states. In speaking of the life in the tropics. Mrs. Lang states that all through the Central American states the fact is noticeable that there are two extreme classes the very weal thy and the extremely poor there apparently being no middle class as in the United States and the radical differences are very marked .the people as a whole being a very easy going and careless type of human ity, but in the aristocratic class the traces of Spanish blood are to be found among the rich and well educated. The conditions in the Canal Zone are, of course, much different as the American occupation has tended to benefit the people of all classes and less of the extreme poverty so characteristic of other portions of Central America is found there. The visit back in the old home was very much enjoyed by Mrs. Lang and she returns to the tropic country greatly refreshed with the stav in the States and among those whom she has not seen for several years. covered oy mo yYvy VtYf viyx ity nry vi GIVES A HOLIDAY The rain of last night has teh farm work for the day iiv:tiui.iii. iin: 'u -" j the injiired men into their car a brouglit them to Dr. Lbnacre's off li ,.,li, onrl ,,-hr,c. ti.icinms I l" WlIKHlrt. t-U ' " ' i . .inii lii: i'.i.ii.- .
