New Orleans’ Old French
Quarter To Be Observed
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10. (/P)—
Vieux Carre, French quarter of Old
New Orleans, where memories of yes
terday abound on every side, will be
protected from Moderism.
A commission of seven members
has been created to act in an ad
visory capacity with oi'ty council to
see that no buildings or repairs "out
of character” crowd into the historic
section now 200 years old.
Here stand the Cabildo, where
transfer of the Louisiana Purchase
took place; St. Louis Cathedral, built
in 1794; t he French market, dating
from 3723; Napoleon House, built by
Girod for the Emperor’s residence
when Lafitte’s men should bring him
from St. Henela; the shop of La
fitte, the pirate himself, and the Old
Absin'the House, no longer selling ab
sinthe, but still hale and hearty af
ter a hundred years.
The Pontalba Buildings, facing j
Jackson Square on either side, have ]
known such residents and guests as
William Makepeace Thackery, Jenny
Lind and Lafayette.
Preservation of the quarter means
that Jackson Square will continue to
look out on scenes little changed
from 186, when the monument to
“Old Hickory” was erected. Here
General Jackson was crowned hero
of Chalmette by the Creole girls of
Louisiana and it was in this same
place DArmes that Don Antonio Ul
loa received the keys of the city and
took posession of it in the name of
the King of Spain.
LaFolIette Will Be
Fifth Youngest Senator
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 10. (JP)
—Robert M. LaFolIette, of Wiscon
sin. who at this session has taken
the place in the Senate so long held
by his father, will be the fifth young
est man ever to sit in that body and
the first under 31 years of age to
hold a seat there in more than half
a century.
When he took the oath of office
at the opening of the session on De
cember 7, he was 30 years and
10 months and one day, having been
born on February 6, 1895. The Con
stitution provides that no person un
der 30 years of age may qualify as
a United States Senator.
Search of the musty records at the
Capitol discloses, however, that de
spite this constitutional inhibition all
of the Senators younger than Mr.
LaFolIette took the oath before they
had reached the age of 30 and that
their presence as members was not
seriously questioned.
When Henry Olay presented him
self for the oath for the first time
on Nov. 19, 1806, at the age of 29
years, 7 months and 7 days, some

Senator inquired as to his age.
“I hope my colleague will propound
■that question to my constituents,”
Clay replied, and there the matter
dropped.
Three others even younger than
! Clay qualaified. They were Arm
istead Thomson Mason, of Virginia,
aged 28 years, 5 months and 30
days when he took his seat on Jan
uary 3, 1816; Elias Kent Kane, of
Illinois, aged 28 years, 8 monthss and
28 days when he was sworn in on
March 4, 1825, and Stephen Wallace
Dorsey of Arkansas, who was sworn
in on March 4, 1873 at the age of 29
years and seven days.
Scientific Poem Source
of Derby Entrant’s Name
FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 11. (/P)—
Race horse fans, like cross word
puzzle bugs, may have to consult
the dictionary, if the New York Jock
ey club approved Swigert Taylor's
application to have his chestnut colt
1926 Kentucky Derby entry named
“Isostasy.”
Friends of Taylor predict -when the
icolt starts in the Derby, it will be a
■long shot because Mr. Taylor alone
will be able to pronounce the name
and get a wager.
Suggestions for the name came in
a poem of W. A. Parks, Canadian
professor, submitted to the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science at South Hampton, England.
Cheaper Clothing May
Result from Discovery
MANCHESTER, England, Dec. 11.
(JP)—A wool substitute, said to be
just as warm and comfortable as the
real thing, is expected by its inven
tor to result in cheaper clothing.
The cloth is called Woolulose and
the manufacturer explained it con
sists of 70 per cent jute fibre and 30
per cent ordinary recovered wool.
Supplied in the raw state, the ma
terial will sell at approximately three
quarters of the price of cheapest
wool.
