THE ALAMA.M K (I LEANER. v « ; ... • VOL. LI AIRPLANES TO HAVE WONDERFUL SPEED Scientists Promise Great Things for the Future. Our new air age promises to be a high-flying age. The 100 miles an hour of present type airplanes will, It is considered, be exceeded greatly by adapting machines so that they can take full advantage of the lessened resistance of the air at high altitudes. Before long we may look back on flying machines of today, driving a laborious way through retarding lower air, with that same pity with which a traveler in the blue and gold Riviera express would let his thoughts" wan der back to the times when, sitting In open trucks, the first railway trav elers jolted along with cinders from the engine blowing into their faces. Wonderful results are rewarding an eight-years' research in sending air planes up to high altitudes and there making them fly miles an hour faster than would be possible in dense air near the world's surface, writes Har ry Hhrper In the London Contempo rary Review. What science 'is profiting by now are experiments, prosecuted assiduous ly, In perfecting a "turbo-compressor," or light, small, high-speed turbine, the function of which is to "supercharge" the engine of a high-flying plane. What latest triumphs imply Is a vir tual abandonment of flying near the earth's surface, and an elevation of regular aerial movement miles above our heads. Hitherto planes flying at great heights have failed to profit in speed from the lessened air resistance of high altitudes because their motors have fallen-away in power. But the "turbo-compressor" supplies the en gine with high altitude air at such pressure that the thinness of this air, as compared with low altitude air, is compensated for, and the engine pre serves its power even at great heights. In recent experiments remarkable results have been achieved, not only with supercharged engines, but also with propellers having variable angle blades designed to function efficiently at Immense altitudes. Sending up planes till they have been miles high, experts have been able lately to in crease tfieir normal speed by more than thirty miles an hour. Scientifically, the quest now pro ceeds along the following lines: Ex« periments are to be made in Increas ing still farther the height of "super charged" flying, vhlle another research wIU be to design antf perfect saloons in wliich passengers can be carried through the air at enormous heights and speeds. Such saloons will be sup plied automatically, under pressure, with air rendered just as breathable as that at low altitudes. Scientists, enthusiastic as to the pos sibilities of immensely rapid flying through thin air at vast heights, now predict that researches will culminate in the institution of regular "super express". airways, miles high, along which giobe-girdllfig craft will hurtle at 250 and 300 miles an honr. That Was the Trouble A Stranger on the main street of Hornelsville, Ariz., came upon a bat tered individual with both eyes black ened and' face swollen with bruises, lying In a heap against the curb at the principal comer. "What happened to you?" asked the stranger with some agitation. "A feller beat me up," was the re ply, "for not payln' a bill." "Why don't you send for a doctor?" "The doctor was here about a min ute ago, pardfler." "Oh, you're all right, then?" "Why, pardner," said the wounded citizen, "it was the doctor's bill I didn't pay."—Hygeia. Beech for Fuel Beeches are beautiful throughout the year. From the ground to their polished slender twigs the gray to brown bark Is clean and smooth, and both bark and twigs are so distinctive that are not to be confused with . other trees of the forest. These trees are famed not Only for their beauty but for their many useful products as ".well, says "Tree Habits" by the Amer ican Nature association. Their wood is valuable for lun*er and is made Into floorings, furniture, tool handles, brush backs and kitchen utensils. As fuel it has no superior. Testing the Pay Envelope A writer in a recent 'number of Printers Ink asks this question; in sub stance: "Would you rather receive 9300 a. mo&tb and kaow you were worth not* than receive S9OO with a ■fawtny conviction In your heart that by the standard of wages paid to others JOB were being overpaid r There are probably quite as many peo pU overpaid In the business world as there are those who are underpaid. When buainess dumps the overpaid ones are headed to r a 'all; the under paid ones keep whafctbey get aid per haps a little MNb 1 Riches Garnered From Great Chilean Desert Chile has many thousands of square miles of land capable of cultivation, yet its most valuable asset is a desert I where the rainfall is seldom moid I than half an inch per annum. It doea not grow a single tree, or even a blade of grass, except where patches ! of imported soil have been laid. This is the nitrite country, which employs 50,000 people directly and indirectly five times as many, and In which something approaching $200,000,000 la Invested. There are over one hundred and j seventy separate workings, each of ! which is the center of a busy popula tion. Yet every ounce of food, every yard of clothing, every cog and shaft ; of its huge machinery, every pint of j water even, has to be brought from I a distance. For many miles around j the country produces nothing but [ nitrate of soda. It Is an amazing fact that the most valuable fertilizer of commerce comes from a region where nothing will grow, but it is a case of all fertilizer and no soil and no rain. In earlier days water was so valuable that it was a saying that It was cheaper to drink champagne, but now water is carried bjj pipes from far-off sources, some of which are 200 miles distant. Father Picked Moral From Youngster's Joke A prominent Los Angeles attorney told the following story in a recent address to the graduates of a gram mar school. He said that his son, a high-school graduate, came home one day and asked him If he were a good mathematician, "Yes, my boy, I think I'm pretty good," the father replied. "Well, then, I have a problem I'd like to hare you solve. There were three frogs sitting on a log—a bull frog, a tree frog and a toad frog. The bullfrog decided to -Jump off. How many were there left?" The father smiled. "Why, that's an easy one. Two frogs were left." "And that's where you are all wrong!" exclaimed the boy, grinning. "Three frogs were left, because the bullfrog only decided to jump off. He didn't Jump." Then the lawyer Impressed upon his audience that a person who would win success must act promptly on his de cisions. Primitive Water Clocks In the Malayan peninsula travelers recently found the natives using a most primitive method for measuring time, which - has probably been in vogue for 5,000 years. It is called the water clock and is simply a small dish or round bowl with a small hole in the bottom. When this is placed in a tub of water It gradually becomes full and sinks, which always happens In the same period of time. On .the Ma lay junks it Is a common thing to see a coconut shell floating In a bowl of water to tell off the time away from the home port. The ancient Egyp , tlans ueed the water clock. The sand glass or water glass has two uses all Its own at the present time —for boil ing eggs, and in the English house of commons to time the bells that ring to ! notify members that a division is at hand. Why Clergy Fought Light When the more progressive spirits in the British metropolis., years ago advocated the installation of munici pally operated street lights, they en countered much active opposition. The clergy were especially loud in their de nunciation of the proposition. They udvanced the following three stupen dous claims against street lights: 1. Artificial lighting is an attempt to In terfere with the divine plan which has preordained darkness during the night time. 2. Illuminated streets will in duce people to remain later out of doors, leading to an Increase In ail ments caused by colds. 3. Horses will be frightened and thieves emboldened. Why Rooster Didn't Come Martin Slmonds of Rodman. N. Y„ went to his henhouse to feed his poul try one duy during the winter. His flock responded to his call, except bis favorite rooster. In the afternoon Slmonds occasion to go to the rear of the bouse and there, perched Upon the Tiro of tiie rain barrel, was bis lost rooster. His tail feathers were frozen into the water. Slmonds had to chop away five Inches of the ice before be could liberate the rooster. Christians in Minority When any one Questions why the Christian churches send out foreign missionaries, members of the church can readily explain by pointing to the proportion of Christians and non-Chris tian peoples in the world. There sre, in fact, more than twice as many non-Christians In the world ss Chrla- I tiana, and aithoogh Christianity has made steady strides, many of the non | Christ lab races are prolific and the I ratio is not changing very rapidly. GRAHAM, N. C.. THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1925 Complex and Varied Is the Human Soult 1 never cease to admire the indeli bility of human nature. It does not 'wear off. Whatever they may do, men are and remain what they are. They may deceive themselves; they may de ceive others, especially the short- ' sighted ones, those who cannot look from the proper distance. Thua the j surface of the sea seems quite dark when you are very near to it, but if ; ypu climb into the crow's nest you 1 will see how clear the water is, and the higher you go the deeper you see, George Sarton writes, as quoted from "Transparency," In Scrlbner's Maga sine. If you have learned to contemplate life In its true perspective, how trans- | parent, how beautiful it becomes. This transparency Is, Indeed, the very spice | of life. Among the many splendors , of nature, what could be more lmpres- I sive, more delightful than the Infinite j variety of the men and women who pass, mix and play before our eyes? Birds are pretty enough, and there seems to be no end to the beauty and fantasy of their plumage, but what of women I what of men! Can there be anything under-the sun more complex, I mye varied, more full of problems and j enigmas of all kinds thanjthe soul of [ man? Tne mystery seems bottomless, i for even If we were to understand each soul In Itself, we would still but be at'its threshold. For we would not yet know how each, of these souls would react upon the "others. Each possible combination, each pair of souls opens a new vlsta of endless secrecy. Many Names Bestowed on Species of Duck A study of the locul names of Amer ican birds .-leads one to believe that our. citizens delight to Invent names for the species In which they take In terest. In almost any region names for certain birds can be found that are not used elsewhere. Hence it is possible' to collect rather long lists of names for birds that attract popular attention. For Instance, 92 local names are known for a single species of wild duck, the ruddy. In this case, as in others, some of the names htjse a touch of humor or local color that renders their study a pleasure. The ruddy duck, for Instance, get# such appellations as booby, dumb bird and sleepy head, because It is slow to take alarm; and others like hard head, ! leather breeches and shot pouch, be- j cause so often It safely emerges from j a perfect rain of shot It has various derogatory nicknames, among the mildest of which are dinky, blather- j sklte and fool duck, says Forest and Stream. % Snail's Pace? "He moves at a snail's pace," is a remark frequently heard, especially when the subject Is a youngster going to school or an office-boy who has been sent on an errand. But even of the slowest of the younger generation the statement Is, to say the least, slightly exaggerated. A recent experiment proved that a snail progresses at the rate of one mile la a fortnight If you place a snail on a sheet of glass and watch the underside, you will see a series of ripples along the animal's foot. This foot Is a network of muscles, and the rippling is pro duced by these muscles lengthening the foot in front and shortening it be hind, which is the snail's mode of pro gression. Composition of Yeast Yesst, strictly speaking, Is a sub stance consisting of the cells of cer tain minute fungi. It appears as a surfoce froth or aa a sediment In fruit Juices and other saccharine liquids In which it Induces alcoholic fermentation. Yeast is made of mil lions of minute, simple plants. What Is popularly called yeast Is a culture of such fungi or plants. Manufacturers cannot "make" yeast In the sense that they can mix chemicals and produce It. Yeast Increases only by the multi plication of the fungi cells. la other words, you must have seed ypist to start with. Ordinary cake sold on the market Is composed of yeast cultures In other substsnces pressed Into cakea. —Pathfinder Magazine. Keeps on Keeping On I When last I went West by way ef the "Broadway Limited," i was sit ting on the observation platform watch ing the scenery dash by, when the porter came out to straighten the chairs which bad been left In some disorder by a group of young folks, i "We don't seem to be going so much faster than an ordinary local train, George," I commented. "How, then, can this be the fastest train on earth?" "Wall, rah," replied the African with a grin, "de fac' la we alls doau go no faster'n lots of them pesky lo cals, but we gits dar in quick time be cause we Jlst keeps on keeping on."— W. L. Barnhart, In Forbes Magazine (Hew York.) j WHY Dam in Upper Egypt la Engi neering Wonder One of ttle greatest engineering won ders of the world Is the great Sennar dam In Lj per Egypt, where 120 white I men and 19,000 natives are racing i against time in an effort to harness ! the waters of the Blue Nile. ] The agricultural feasibilities of the great Libyan desert are tremendous. The heat there Is Intense, at times as much as 120 degrees In the shade; , so hot. Indeed, that sk-k men have to be taken down into lee-packed cellars to bu treated, the clinical thermome ter being useless Above ground. I ' 'The masonry put In to hold back ! the waters Is roughly 400.000 cubic j yards, and Its total "weight a million tons. Every day 2,(il)0 tons of ma i sonry are added to the structure. I Once u year there comes an exciting j time for the engineers und all con . cerned —the period of the annual Nile flood. As a result of the heavy Afri can rains at the source of the Nile, the river becomes swollen and rises considerably. The floods are so regu lar that they can be fixed almost to a .'Hoy., At Khartum the Nile is in flood In ! June nnd .at Assuan In August. By : September the floods have reached ! Cairo, where the waters rise 32 feet above normal at Kasr-el-Nil bridge. It Is these floods that cause the great est anxiety to the engineers, and thsy watch carefully for nny signs of weak ness, although If disaster set In, little copld be done to avert it. Why Physicians Have • Faith in Antitoxins Toxins are the poisons of disease and produce the symptoms common.to the disease after circulating through tbe blood, explains Dr. Walter B. James In Outlook Magazine. Antitoxins are substances that work 1 against or neutralize the toxins In any given cases, and they are produced by the use of the bacteria or the tox ins. These are Injected Into an ani mal. usunlly a horse. In Increasing doses, until. It becomes habituated to them and Is no longer made 111 by them. The Immunity or resistance re ! sides In the blood, which has now developed a defense mechanism agnlnst the poison. The animal's blood Is then drawn j off in small quantities, filtered and ' purified. This blood Is In turn Inject ! Ed Into the blood of a man, where It exerts the same protecting Influence against the particular toxin by which It was produced us It did in the horse. This Is, very briefly, the nature snd diode of operation of antitoxic serums. The use of an antitoxin In diphtheria has already saved count less lives and has changed the once dreaded and fatal disease to a rather simple complaint if diagnosed early and treated with antitoxin. The discoveries of the Dicks and of Dochez promise to give, the same re lief from scarlet fever when methods, originated only in 1924 are perfected for this particular disease. Why Collectors Worry Look what is happening to the an tique furnltusa business. Here comes an expert m>m London, says Dvy Goods Economist, who says there Is no such thing as a Queen Anne walnut dining table, even though many of them ore sold. Chippendale wash stands are all bunk, people didn't uss washstands In tbe days when Chippen dale lived. Neither did they ustf side , boards. j As for real Gothic furniture, well, he has his doubts, whether there is 1 any real Gothic furniture in this coun try. If this thing continues thousands of ' Americans will have to refurnish their homes entirely. They will have to buy new furniture whether they want to or not. cannot be made thd laughing stock of the nation, or even of furniture reports. Two Howlers 8 pedal notice has Just reached ma ef two excellent schoolboy howlers. Tbe first Is the most Idiomatic trans lation of "Pax in t*llo," which was rendered "Freedom from indigestion." , Tbe second relates to tbe .well-known historical incident of Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh's tflak. After 'describing the scene, made the aueen say: "Sir Walter, I am afraid I have dirtied your cloak." "Dieu et mon droit," replied Sir Wal ter, which means In English, 'My Q—d, you are right 1" Why Felines Parr ' The purring sound made by rats Is made by throwing the vocal cords Into vibration measured and by the respiration, and thia vibration Is strong enough to mske tbe whole larynx IremMe so thst It may It* felt ■>r seen from the outside. Purring Is highly of the est tribe, though not confined to lb It Is ususlly the means by whlcii theas felines show contentment Creature* That Take the Palm for Ugliness A writer describe* the two earth pigs, or aard varies, at the zoological Hardens, London, as nightmares, says Christopher Baric In the Family Her ald, and certainly, for sheer hldeous ness they can give points and a beat ing to almost any other four-legged animal. Their nearest rival Is prob ably the wart hog, with Its fantastic tusks and huge wen pr wart under neath each eye. Another 'mammal which la so utterly ugly that It make* one feel uncomfortable to look at It is the so-called nhked bat (chlromelea torquatus). The body la stark naked, with a hideously greased black skin. Head and face are also naked except for a few scanty clusters of stiff hairs which grow out of wart-llne ex crescences. Around the neck Is a col lar of dingy brown hair resembling ft mungy fur tippet. The creature Is uot only repulsive to sight, but also to the sense of smell. It Is a sort of winged skunk, the odor of which is literally sickening. Among reptiles there are a number so fantastically hideous that no mere description can do justice to their looks, or lack ot them. The palm in this respect belongs to tho horrid moloch of Australia, com monly known as the "Tlforny {>evll." This Is a stumpy lizard about eight Inches long, of a dirty yellow color, with muddy brown patches. From the tip of Its nose to the end of Its tall it Is covered with spines which are of ail shapes and sices. The largest grow upon its head and show up like two curved horns. Its feet are armed with strong, sharp claws. The frilled lizard, another Australian j reptile, lives on its looks. If alugped, it gets upon Its hind legs and In stantly spreads an enormous ruff. It lashes Its snake-like tail and opens a mouth full of needle-like teeth. The octopus, incarnation of horro* Is as dangerous as it looks. The sting ray, a hideous creature, has a power ful tail armed with a sharp spine which exudes poison like a snake's fang. Tropic seas are full Of fish of fantastic shapes armed with terrible "«plnes and long threatening teeth. Not all these are- bad as they look, yet as a general rule an ugly fish la also a dangerous one. Smiling Children in Peru Legalized child slavery still exists in Peru—even In Lima, the modern capital city. Indian peons frequently sell their children to well-to-do fam ilies for sums equivalent to about H25- The sales are made usually whoa the children are about eight years old, and the purchasers have exclusive usa and control of the children until they are sixteen years old in the case of a girl, or eighteen yean If a boy. As long ss the owner feeds and clothe* the child no one can take It away. Thar* have been recorded cases in which, when one woman sought to buy a child from another b£ offering the father of the child more money, the courts upheld the rights of the first mistress. Oirls are sold more often than are boys, in asmuch as the Indians regard gtit children as liabilities. Airplane Still Novelty "I tried recently in a Cleveland ho tel to buy an airplane postage stamp for a letter to Han Francisco," write* Fred Kelly In the Natlan's Business. "The stsmp seller had none and said it was the first time he had had such a request. Ont of curiosity I then went to another leading hotel and tried to buy stamps for slrplsne mail. | They not only didn't have such stsmps, but evidently had never heard of them. I next tried the experiment of asking business men (or Information about the cost of sending a letter by slrplsne from Cleveland to New York. Of n score I aaked not one knew! The fact la that the airplane mall aervlce, not withstanding the marvel of It, is still too new to be popular. It takes a long time for a novelty to alnk Into ths pub lic mind." His Decision "Say, what the dldfcns 1* all that yelling shout, out back of the smoke house T" demanded dap Johnson of Rumpus Itldge, arooaed front hi* dose on the porch. "Maw was making soft soap and got her dress afire." replied Banty, one of. Johnson's offspring. "She's tolling on the ground now, trying to pot U out. and the children are watching her and hollering about It." "Aw, writ.

But in spite of colonial exposi tions and a deluge of literature and motion pictures descriptive of life In those parts of the world where France has territorial possessions, few French people have been Induced to leave their beloved homeland. The attach ment of the French to their soil is. In deed, well known. They prefer making i a mediocre living in their own country to prospects of wealth abroad. And not only is the average Frenchman loath to leave hla country, but seldom does he abandon his native town or village. There are peasants whose families have been on the same farms or In the same districts for hundreds of years. A French writer has started Investigat ing bow long certain peasant families have been In the same place and has found some Interesting examples. Thus in the village of Jeannet, in Borgundy, * a fanner named Sadler haa authentic records showing that tbe first Sacller began to till the soli of the farm In 1672 and It has been in his family ever siuce. Skis Used by Swedes Since Sixth Century In Sweden ski running Is at least fourteen centuries old. sad probably j dates back to prehistoric times, ac- . cording to Prof. Otto von Friesen, of the University of Upeala. A runestooe at Boeksta. not far from Upeuls, shows a picture of a ski runner, end It Is probable -that long before they knew how to write runes tbe Swedes learned the art of skiing from tbe nomadic j Lapps antf Finns, frofessor Frleaen i says that in the Sixth century south ern European writers described hunt ers in Sweden who were able to glide through the forest at high speed. The : ru nest one, which dates from the mid- ( die of the Eleventh century, proves that ak! running was then common la Sweden. In tiie Viking age skis were In fre quent use. Winter sports had a special divinity. {7ll, who was himself devoted to the use of skis. Outwardly be waa ' tbe symbol of the bright, sunny winter day that stimulates to outdoor Ufa and warlike gamea. Roads being rare, the skis furnished means of communica tion, no matter bow severe the win- ' ter, and speed on them was highly se teemed. Had Origin in Quoits The game of horseshoes Is baaed ea quoits, which is a pastime resembling the andent discus-throwing of Greece. Few traces of a game resembling i quoits can be found on the continent I; of Europe and Its origin may be sought i; for on the borderlands of Scotland and 11 England. There are references to It 11 In the midlands, dating from the be > j ginning of the Fifteenth century. Aa- I cham, in his "Toxophllus" U545), re i fers to the game aa being chiefly by the working classes, who often used horseshoes for want of quoits, a eue-1 torn still prevailing In country dis tricts. I Designed for Convenience The position of the hands of a clock Is one which has been selected for the reason that It furnishes tbe greatest facility to meet the requirement far painting tbe longer name above the hands snd the shorter word below. The minute hand has varied In position from 17 to 23 mlnutea after 8. Home times tbe longer name re quires to be. written in a semi-circle above the hands. There have been stories connected with tbe death of Lincoln, thst tbe position of the handa Us commemorative of the hour of the death but thla Is not true. Not Really Profanity It Is perfectly correct when yon say tftat "darn" got Into bad company and A ok some qf the color of "damn." But what la the origin of tbe word? "Darn", Is not aa intensive adjective 1 meaning "very moet" as you aisnsss, but Is an offspring of tbe Shakea peareaa word "deem, Uern" which signified "terrible," originally "dark ened, soiled."
