THE GLEANER GRAHAM, *? 0. DEC. 16, 1937 Ulster la Qno-Sixth of the Emertld bk'i Area Ulster, northern province of Ira land, comprises one-sixth of the to tal area of the Emerald Isle, and one-eighteenth of the total area of the British Isles. There is a long seaboard to the north and east extending MS miles, while the land boundary to the south and west measures 200 miles. Tha waters of the southern portion of the coast are shallow, but the east ern and northeastern shores are flanked by the deep North channel, and good natural harbors are found in many places. Three estuaries ? those of the Lagan, Foyle and New ry rivers ? run for considerable distances inland, and so greatly fa cilitate trading with the hinterland. The Lagan estuary is the principal goods port for Belfast and for an extensive inlying district. Topographically, Northern Ireland is chiefly hilly or rolling country, the highest levels being reached in the Mourne mountains in the south, where the greatest height is 1,796 feet above sea level. The country as a whole is famed for the wtde diversity of its natural scenery, ranging from the loveli ness of Lough Erne and tht Glens of Antrim to the rugged grandeur of the Gaint's Causeway and th* Coast road from Larne to Portush. Ruby First Jewel Mad* for the General Trade The ruby v,as the first precious stone to be mrnufsctured commer cially, according to a writer in the Washington Post. It is simply oxide of aluminum with a small amount of oxide of chromium, which gives to it the brilliant red color. Many methods of making the ruby were tried from 1870 to 1890, all more or less successful from the chemi cal standpoint, but failures from the commercial point of view. It happened, however, that rubies appeared on the market ctf Geneva, whose origin could not be accounted for. As a matter of fact, a curate of Geneva had succeeded in fusing chips of natural ruby given him by the lapidaries into large stones. This brought about a revival in the synthesis of the ruby, for it was argued that if ruby chips could be fused, the oxide of aluminum, of which they are composed, could be fused. Professor Verneuil, the famous French chemist, finally succeeded is making the ruby, though only after many years of painful research and hard toil. King Could Not Speak fcngllsh George I, king of England from 1714 to 1727, could neither (peak nor write the English language, notes a writer in the Indianapolis News. He was the son of Ernest Augustus, elector of Henoyer, and Sophia, granddaughter of James !, of England. The German became the nearest heir to the English crown on the theory that the blood of James n in the direct line was corrupted. When he succeeded Queen Anne as sovereign of Eng land he was fifty-four years old and he made no attempt to learn the language of his kingdom. William of Orange, who reigned Jqintly with his wife, Mary, from 1689 to ISM and as sole sovereign from 1894 until 1702, was Dutch in nationality) knew vary little English, and was not sufficiently master of that lan guage to address the house from the throne in his W#n words. Oh important occasions, it was his practice to write his speech in French, and to employ a translator. French was the native language of the Engliah kings for many genera tions after tha Norman conquest. Our foods are often flavored with nutmeg and mace, And both theM apices come from the same plant, the nutmeg tree, which (rows in the East and West Indies and Bra ail. The tree reaches a height of about 90 feet, and has large leathery evergreen leaves which give out a rich odor, and small, pale yellow flowers. The pear-shaped fruits open into two nearly equal halves, and the nutmeg is then disclosed, sur rounded by a fleshy fibrous cover ing, which is the mace. Like the nutmeg, it is very fragrant The nutmeg tree begins to bear fruit when it is eight years old, and goes oa for about CO years. Nutmeg and mace are used not only in eookeHr as ? flavoring for custards and pud flings, but in medicine as a stimu lant and to disguise the taste of un pleasant drags. Formerly in medicine the word mithrklate signified a compound electuary, used as an antidote or a preservative against poison. The word 1* derived from King Kithrt dates VI at Pootus, who is said to have made himself immune to pot SODS by accustoming himself to tak ing thert. ? - L. M. DAVIS ?

The Goilferd Memorial Park is an insthotion that is well eon dotted and kept in the very best of cortdition. With the age of auto funerals and rapid transit, the large well'tered for cemetery has taken its place in our civilixation. During the past decade the private burying ground and small, unkept cemetery have fallen into desuetude and are gradually passing atvay. Guil ford Memorial Park has become a center fo# the families all over this part of the state, and with modern transportation the Cititens of Graham and Alamance County should make it their burial plftce. Guilford Memorial Park has ample grounds for burial purposes for gen erations to come. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped and it is truly a "Garden of Roses."

In our opinion that ques tion can be easily answered. In every community the sice of Greensboro there will be some cafe or restaurant that will stand out from others as being the one place Where those who know Good Pood and appreciate Good Service, will be seen. In Greensboro the outstanding place to eat is the Mecca Cafe and Dining Room. However, their increas ing patronage Is ample proof of the fact that those who do patronise this cafe pass the "Good Word" along to their friends in the tlty and else where, for a large number of out-of town people are to be seen eating here every day. Mr. L. D. Relies, manager, of the Mecca Cafe and Dining Room, is among the few people who, in addi tion to knowing their business thor oughly, possess a personality that makes warm friends and steady cus tomers of those who would otherwise remain just casual acquaintances. Whether your desire be a cup of their delicious coffee with a dough nut or pie, or one of their tempting luncheons or dinners, you can be cer tain of receiving the best of service and the best of foods appetizingly prepared. So remember, when either business or pleasure takes you to Greensboro be sure to dine at the Mecca Cafe and Dining Room. It will prove to be satisfying in every respect.
