An optimest sees an opportunity in every dif ficulty. o It “shore” would take a very long nose to smell roses under six feet of dirt. Do your deed of kind ness NOW. Egypt had beauty salons as far back as 3200 B. C. Khaki cloth is woven from five different colored threads. Sir Walter Raleigh was behead ed as a spy. Mnche Politics Makes Strange, Etc. Peculiar deals involving congres sional war profiteering revive simi lar shenanigans by legislators in the past. About a century ago a group of business men borrowed $200,000 and incorporated the Central Pacific railroad. Then they used the 200Gs to bribe congressmen to steal rail road franchises. The 200Gs eventu ally secured land grants for 9,000,- 000 acres and a federal loan of $27,000,000! The swindlers became rich and powerful railroad owners without Investing a penny of their own money! The Tweed Ring was the most corrupt gang that ever afflicted New York. Boss Tweed filched millions via bribery and legalistic hocus-pocus—until he was finally put behind bars. But Tweed beat the rap many times. After one grand jury failed to dig up enough evidence to indict Tweed, an edito rialist wrote that it reminded him of the man who had been discovered dead and the jury was puzzled as to what caused his death The jury finally issued this re port: “It was an act of God under very suspicious circumstances.’’ Capitol Hill now is burdened with too many demagogues. But the current batch aren’t gifted with Huey Long’s evil talent. He was a wily rat. ... A reporter once saw a page from a Huey Long ad dress. Various instructions were penciled in the margins. Such as “pause here,” and “use angry fist gesture,” etc. At the end of one long paragraph, the following was scribbled in capi tal letters: “Argument weak here. YeU like hell!” One machine in the East doesn’t miss a vote-getting trick. The boss sends toys to children of voters. He uses expensive chauffeured cars to bring voters to the polls. And on Election day he sends nurses to take care of tots while mothers vote. No one ever has estimated how much money grafting officials have filched. But the sum reaches astro nomical figures. One fact will give you a faint idea of the rooking that the public has taken—and still is taking. When Tammany was rid ing high its take during one year was $75,000,000. The influence of corrupt political bosses on national affairs cannot be overestimated. Many lawmakers are merely errand boys for local ward heelers. A reporter recently snapped: “This is truly a mechan ical age. Even public officials are frequently machine made.” AU is fair in love, war and poli tics. Sen. George Norris’ political opponents once persuaded a grocer named George Norris to enter the primary against the U. S. senator. The Big Idea was to confuse voters by having similar names on the bal lots. But the scheme was called off when it was spotlighted by the press. Mark Twain used his pungent pen to attack the shady schemes of Tam many. The death of a Tammany leader inspired one of Twain’s famed quips: “I refused to attend his funeral. But I wrote a very nice letter explaining that I approved of it!” NVw York Side-Show: He started working for a Wall Streeter nearly a year ago. . . . Under the impression his em ployer was wealthy. ... He practiced forging the boss’ sig nature . . . After 10 months or so —he trhed passing a check “signed” with the employer’s name—to see if it worked. . . , He wrote it out for only SSO. . . . It came back marked “Insuf ficient Funds”! Mussolini’s daughter, Edda, who has been “amnestied” by Italy, has applied for entry into Argentina be cause there's no spot in Italy where she would be welcome. But the pass port hasn’t been okayed yet . . . Belgian monarchists are perturbed over the 16-year-old crown prince of Belgium, who would prefer enter ing a monastery to assuming the throne, if the king (as expected) abdicates. . . . The most quoted gag (in the foreign bars in Shang hai) goes this way: “The Russians will probably obtain the atomic bomb in the Shanghai market.” . . . Los Angeles, they say, is be ing flooded with phony ten spots. Mrs. M. Falkenburg (Jinx's moth er) will follow in her daughter’s foot steps and become a Conover model! . . Irving Berlin has two songs on the Hit Parade at once! . . . Doris Duke shoves off for Honolulu shortly, accompanied by a boogie woogie teacher. She will spurn the offer of a fashion mag post in Paree. . . . A famed photo mag is dropping 20 p. c. of its roster, as la a big N. Y. ayem paper. ... A mobster who tells the underworld the mayor “crossed him," threatens to erase him when be gets out. THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS Cattle Brucellosis Checking Possible Testing of Cattle Eradicates Disease There was a further increase in brucellosis last year, according to the American Foundation for Ani mal Health, and the increase in the incidence of the disease practically doubled in the last five years. Continued testing and retesting of our cattle herds is the mainstay of the nation’s fight to eradicate this cost- Vft ly problem, as W\\ shown by the sharp increase it has made during the time when there Vm Vi were not sufficient veterinarians avail- able to carry on with the testing program. Altogether too many farmers, in recent years, have come to look upon vaccination as an easy answer to brucellosis con trol. Vaccination is highly desir able, but it should always be looked upon as an important adjunct, not a replacement of the testing pro gram. With the recent return of thou sands of veterinarians from military servi-ee, livestock health authorities have expressed hope that the sharp wartime upswing in cattle brucel losis may be checked in the early future. Know Your Breed Holstein By W. J. DRYDEN The first importation of Holstein to be established permanently in the United States was made by Win throp W. Chenery at Belmont, Mass, in 1857. The breed traces back before the beginning of the Christian era. up' a »F \ - Carnation Ormsby Butter King, champion butterfat of the U. S. on official tests. The breed known as the Holstein- Friesian had its beginning in the Netherlands. There are now in the United States nearly as many purebred Holsteins as all other dairy breeds combined. Many world champion milk and but ter producers are to be found among the breed. Guard Rail for Pigs To decrease the large number of litter pigs killed by the sow step ping or rolling over on them, the guard rail arrangement in farrow ing house taken at Texas station has proven satisfactory. Easy to construct from lumber found around the farm, it will aid to preventing the heavy toll in the farrowing house. Hprn Medicine Funnel s&w off the / f Er\d and / JT Drill Hole y S) Cow Horr\ CROSS SECTION Administering liquid medicine to livestock is dangerous when a glass bottle is used. The accompany ing drawing shows a funnel which can be made out of a cow horn. First boil and clean out, then saw off about an inch from the tip and drill into the natural cavity. Ladino Clover Proven Valuable for Pasture Ladino clover, the giant form of common white clover, is showing considerable value as a pasture crop. High in protein, minerals and vitamins and low in fiber it is much valued as a feed. Ladino is aggres sive under favorable conditions and retards most weeds and many un desirable grasses. Being a peren nial of medium long life and of val ue in soil Improvement it will prow valuable on many farms. Father Os Television Is Dead 0 John L. Baird, British scientist, the first man t o successfully demonstrate the transmission of an image by photo-electric cells, is dead. The struggling young Scottish engineer began serious work on the subject in 1922, in a two-room flat in London. In 1924, Baird completed his first television apparatus, capable of transmitting the image of a maltese cross over the distance of tw r o or three yards. In 1926, he let the scientific world see the results of his efforts. . . the image of a person transmitted from one room to another. Transmission was achieved by a perforated, ro tating disk that permitted light to fall on the subject in sequence. The reflected light affected light-sen sitive selenium and later photo electric cells, the reaction forming electric impluses for transmission. By 1928, images were being sent across the ocean. There followed a series of innovations including daylight pickup, experimental theatre television and work with colored disks to transmit colored images. 1937 ... the 8.8. C. decided to use the Marconi-Emi system of electronic scanning rather than Baird’s older mechanical method.

Black Mountain Phone 3141 We want to thank our customers and pro spective customers for your friendly patience while awaiting your new Chevrolets. We know it is a hardship to wait for: needed transportation; but we believe you will understand that we, and Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as you are to obtain them. Unfortunately,, production so far this year is far under expectations. Chevrolet Motor Division! sums up the situation thus: 1 i “Even though our rate of production normally exceeds that of any other manufacturer, we have been able to build, up to July 1, only 12.4 per cent | as many cars as we had built up to that date in 1941. Production is still !' far below normal, because of fre- 1 M quent shortages of essential mate- ]{ rials and parts. Strike after strike at the 1. plants of our suppliers has seriously i impeded our progress toward full £ production, and the cumulative i effect severely hampers every manu- !’ facturing and assembly plant. In j! June we were able to build only if 29.2 per cent as many cars as we |t produced in the same month ht !; 1941.” ;[ While production is restricted, so— in*, proportion—are shipments of cars to us.m As production increases, we are assured' 1 , of getting our proportionate share of their total—and as quickly as cars are received, '• we will speed deliveries to our customers. >' Page Seven
