I Brisbane THIS WEEK. In Ancient Nile Mud England Keeps Heady * Let the Dead Sleep Murder Starts Early Faris.- -Reclining on her side. Iter body covered with gold. goM nccx laces on her neck and on the ground ncarty; archaeologists discovered tne well-preserved body or an Egyptian princess whose rather, the Pharaoh Chephrcn, built the second biggest pyramid: it was his brother. Cheops, who built the largest. Those pyramids were tombs for kings, and searchers round the princess in one of them. The Nile mud seeping into the tomb had helped to preserve her. That princess, living 5,000 years j ago. could tell an interesting story for the movies. She "built herself a small pyramid with stones given to \ h?-r by her many lovers." Where do j you suppose she is now ? In some ; strange Egyptian heaven, perhaps. | with ah those admirers around her Eugj&iul. alarmed by European war threats, issues an official ' white pa-; per explaining why? 'The relation of our own armed j forces to those of nher great pow- : rs shouid be maintained at a rig- J ure high enough to enable us to exercise our influence and eurhority in j international affairs." Unfortunately for all plans, the; airplane in the hands of desperate nation might upset all national "au-; thority," just as a pistol in the hands i of a desperate man upsets individual j ami police authority. One bullet will stretcn individual J authority in the dust; 1,000 airplanes, j attacking the heart of a great city.' j might cause national "authority" to ' end in demoralization. England's new defense increase will be largely in her air force: that wise nation knows that the real "ocean" in future wars will be the ? ocean of the air. In a desert of southeastern Utah, men and women, belonging to the: cull of "truth seekers," were gathered around the body of Mrs. Edith t Dakhal, who died more than a year f. au"6. Y011 rend nhnul it noi-nhnc ... r- 1? , Mrs. Ogden, leader of the "truth seekers," prayed over the body, which ! appeared marvelously preserved. The; "truth seekers" believe they will J 1 bring the woman back to life, but jx the pathetic fact is that it would not ( in the least matter if they did. The important thing is to improve ' the condition of 1,800,000,000 aclu- j ^ ally living on the earth. For one! 1 safely out of it to be brought back j c woitki be unimportant, in these days,; 0 and perhaps cruel. j F America holds the world's "murder * championship" for all kinds of rnur- j ' der. at all ages? quantity, quality,. t variety, volume. ! c A New Jersey boy, 16 years old,j a was sentenced to death. ; 5 In Wisconsin, a coroner reports j t that little David Hqll, two months j t old, was killed by two tx>ys four, and three years of age. j i They each held one hand of the j younger one, and dropped it on the t floor. It cried and would not slop. Then, one of the small boys ex- * pi&ined, "We pounded him." These vmincoot 'Vlllftro" '?"? Ye>u can't "try" a four-year-old child. Railroads tell the interstate com- t merce commission they would like fares reduced to two and a half cents a mile, instead of two cents. The railroads should have cull possible consideration, for they have -built up this country, but at two and a half cents a mile they will not compete successfully with automobiles carrying passengers for one-quarter ; of a cent a mile.

The baby of the future will be busy, with 1 finger-printing, tonsil and appendix I removal, vaccination for smallpox < and a half dozen other diseases. I Hie new treaty with France, re- : duclng the duty on French wines and 1 liquors by 50 per cent, interests Cali- t fornia and other wine growing states. ; It should persuade them to stabilize ; the production of wines, establish of- i ficial guarantees of purity, freedom from adulterations, mixtures, and i especially "fortifying" with alcohol. ; In Europe, notably in France, adul teration of wines is an offense i against the law. With us, it is a business. (i For advertising reasons, a group of I men made a lonflr distance hike on , a diet of broken grain to prove the superiority of that diet. They were surprised when S3 hikers 3howed a tota' loss of 211 pounds in weight, while on, 66 years old, showed a gain of three pounds. Chinch bugs have appeared as a new pest of corn in Pamlico County and farmers report heaviest infestation -.ear fields of oats or other small grain. When Mr and Mrs. J. W. Thomas of Peachland. Anson County harvest one row of vegetables in their home garden they immediately plant the row to something else. In spite of dry weather, they have been getting vegetables from the garden all summer. WAT An li VOLUME XLVill, NUMBER 2. j And Now the St WASHINGTON . . .

FARMERS \ \ RAISE BETTER CABBAGES In a number of Western North g Carolina communities, farmers are ^ >uilding up a cabbage-growing industry that promises to become one >f their main sources of cash in- P iome. ^ So successful have they been, said t< rl. R. Niswonger, extension hortieul;urist at State College, that their ( :rop is now pointed to as a model or other growers. About five vears ago. he went on. i quarter of a pound of Danish Ball riead cabbage seed was introduced b :o farmers in the Sea ley section of b Hacon county. The strain is well c idapted to the area, and is in strong c n&rket demand. More and more farmers began to i, ise the seed until this year 400 b pounds of Danish Ball Head seed f ;vere distributed to over 100 farmers o in that section and nearby commu- t nities. Niswonger also pointed out that r demonstrations in cultural and fer- S tilization practices conducted by the i extension service have greatly in- j creased the quality and the yield of the cabbage crop. z Formerly, the plants were set 18 $ inches apart in the rows and fer- r tilized with 1,000 pounds of 5-7-5 t mixture to the acre. The plants are c now set 12 to 14 inches apart and c fertilized with 600 pounds of a 3-8-6 mixture. dIus a side-dressing of ni trate of soda three to four week3 after the plants have been set. ! The new strain of cabbage and l the better cultural practices inereas- . ed the yield by 3,200 to 4,000 pounds {( i:er sere. Then, too, the growers! save the difference in cost between ; 1,000 pounds of 5-7-5 and 600 pounds; of 3-8-6 There is a strong demand Cor this' ! cabbage, as buyers like the small I compact, heavy heads.
