THE ALAMANCE GLEANER VOL. LI CARD ROOM TO SPEND VACATION Time When City-Brtd Man Should Heed Call of Country. ———— i •. / | When Mr. Mann of „ Anytown arrived ffitb tbe Mrs. and youngsters at tie vacation resort there ! sat- the usual as sortment of fat gentlemen playing pliochle and uncomfortably-garbed women playing bridge" or mah-Jongg, "What the'dickens do they go on a vacation for 7" Mr. Mann queried W Mrs. Mann. And yet the pinochle-bridge scene may be found at countless thousands of resorts. Grown men and women go on vacations and do little more tlian play cards or similarly dodge boredom, says the Cincinnati Post. These people could well take les sons from their children, who use this opportunity to let loose pent-up sup pressions of the year and run about shouting and playing. Of course, every fat-paunched gent can't play Indian or tag, but he can ■ learn the lesson of letting his mind get into healthful paths. He can get away from the hotel steps and hike along tree-covered trails, or across sweet-smelling country meadowsi- There are a thousand things he can do that would reduce his girth and put him in far better condition when] the vacation ends —that is, unless he Is an invalid. ACCOUNT WAS THERE, BUT NOT MUCH ELSE President Ernest Frothlngham, of the Commercial Trust company, said at a bankers' banquet in Denver: "We bankers are often called i heartless. You remember the story of the dead shot who, having .failed to kill his man at point blank range, explained that he shot four times at the fellow's heart, not knowing he - was a banker, "Bankers) as a matter of fact, ai4 altogether too kindly' and Indulgent A young clubman went to a tailor the other day and ordered a dozen suits of clothes on credit. The tailor asked for a reference. "♦'Oh,' said the young clubman, 'go over to the Third National bank peo ple. They know- all about me. I have an accourif. there.' "So the- talkJr-'weht oyer to th« i bank and said to the cashier: "'1 understand that young Mr. Cromwell keeps his account here.' "'He does,' said the cashier, 'but goodness knows- where he k«eps his money.'"—Detroit Free Press. Speaking of Shakes— "We'll tell the world, everybody else who has time to listen," says the Tlfton Gazette, "that if we had been the girl who found a rattler under her dresser, we would' have given up that room and all parts adjacent to the rattler. We never did much admire makes, no way." Which recalls the story of the Geor gia fanner who was -awakened from 1 • sound sleep by his wife, who had wen a snake crawling from under the cover at his feet. He glanced at the "Dake and said: "No harm In it Can't yon tee it'g a klngsnake? Never *«ke me up again tor less tjjan a rattlesnake I"—Atlanta Constitution.

When a current of air bjows across a water surface water waves are produced, and when a cur ,r,nf of air blow*' across a surface of quiet, air, or air having a different mo !tlon from the first current, then air waves are produced. \ These atmospheric waves, we are assured, have all ef the phenomena of water waves—troughs, crests, foam, breakers -and spray—but since the qualities of air and water are so differ- i ent the air waves have dimensions over 2,500 times those of the corre- j water wares. Thus the great' ocean waves of per- | haps twenty-five feet height: would have atmospheric counterparts extend ing upward a distance of ten or twelve miles above the earth's surface. . The undulating movement of such j }alr waves accounts In part for the in- ; termittent gusts' of wind which we notice so frequently in storms.—Wash ington Star. Little Reverence for Long-Dead Statesmen The Pantheon is visited nowadays j under conditions which seem decidedly j lacking In the respect due to the mem- | ory of great men. You pay a franc to get inside the building, and for. 50 ! centimes more you can join an as- i sembly of trippers for a visit to the j crypts in the%ake of a guide who ap pears to be on very familiar terms j with the distinguished dead buried j there, Paris Figaro. The aforesaid guide' will rather dis dainfully show you the basement where not 'less than forty Statesmen of the first empire sleep. The other day he pointed out the tomb of Zola, Jaures and Carnot, and an English woman in the party asked If she might go Into one of the tombis. To this the guide replied carelessly that it really was not worth while, as she could see all these fellows at the Musee Grevin. "where they're all llfe sifce and madf of wax." Few "White" buffaloes In the old days Indians cherished the white buffalo robe as almost be yond price. In 1832 or 1883 the Mandans, says the Pittsburgh Sun, hearing that the , Blackfeet at the mouth of the Yellow- I stone had a white buffalo robe, sent a delegation with eight horses and writh trading goods the 200 miles to procure the robe If possible. The delegation left the horses and 1 the goods and returned afoot with the robe. jThls was consecrated to the Great Spirit and hung upon a pole, out of touch, as powerful medicine. It Is said ihat not one in 100,000 buffalo was white. Even at that, the ca4»r was likely to be a yellowish white, and the robe was known by the plainsmen as a "buckskin" robe. The pure white robe scarcely existed. Basilicas Thb name "Basilica" was given In ancient Rome to buildings used as meeting places for business men, and as courts of justice. A basilica con sisted of a long central hall or nave, with aisles, the aisles being separated from the nave by pillars supporting the roof. A£ the end of the nave,- op posite the entrance, was a raised plat form, or dais, with seats for the judges. To give additional space there was sometimes added at' this farther end, a semicircular structure called an apse. After the introduction of Chris tianty, basilicas were very generally converted Into churches, and thus It is that the form of the modern cathe dral is derived from the ancient Roman basilica. —Kansas City St^r. Patriotic American The pledge to the American flag that is used In most of our schools Is at tributed to James P. Upham, a Boston publisher, who In 1888 suggested Its use in the schools. The Idea was adopted by the National Education a» sociation, which persuaded congress C 4 urge it to the attention of President Harrison, who, by proclamation of July 21, 1892, naming October 12 as a holiday In commemoration of the four hundredth anniversary of the landing" of Columbus In the New world, sug gested the pledge to the flag be re cited by the pupils and the flag raised over every school house. The Tantony" Bell. The "tahtpny" bell was rung frosi churches in certain parts of Northamp j tonsbire at 7a. m. and at 7p. to mark the times when gleaners In tna cornfield were to begin work and finish for the day. In ancient times, the "tantony" bell was rung to call home the swine-herd, and Jt Is probable that the name "tantony" Is a corruption of St Antony, for eanturles considered the patron saint of swine-herds aad swine - —_ «- —, GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1926 Growths of Mangroves Serve Good Purport The trees known as "mangroves" form dense thickets along the? ses - In the tropica of the old world as well as of the new. They are fliar acterized by the production of many prop roots from the trunks and branches; these prop roots reach Igio the mud and form practically impene trable tangles. They thus serve to hold the mud together and are said to act as natural sea walls, protecting the soil against the inroads of the sea. bark of the tree is sometimes ! taken for its abundance of tanning j material; otherwise the several spe cies are ofjio economic Importance. In many of these species the roots | branch repeatedly before reaching the j mud, instead of growing straight : I down. —The root divides Into two [ branches, one of which soon dies away, while the other continues the growth. After extending for soijie! distance this also divides into two, I one of the branches persisting, and ; so on. The Dutch botanist Van Leeuwen had an opportunity jo study a man grove tangle near Samarang, in Java, and he discovered the cause of the pe culiar habit of root branching to be a small beetle. The female beetle lays her eggs near the tip of the root The injury causes a new root to sprout out just above the tip and the old tip continues to grow. Brings Back to Mind Days of Golden Youth His youth was spent in a castle of . dreams In an enchanted fofest. He | danced with the wood-nymphs- In the dusk and leprechauns, laughing, whis pered the secrets of the woods to him. The sun and the moon tilled a way side pool with gold for him. One day a stranger In a scarlet coat lold him of the gayety ?f cities and | sifng him the "Song of Clinking Gold,*\ ' and out Into the world \ylth him he went, writes Whltelaw Sauaders, In "All s Well." Now he is old. The golden song has, suddenly, dissonant harmonies, and his own scarlet coat hangs ragged and i faded. A blossom In a market stall, swayed by a passing breeze, brings hjm dreams of long forgotten "dances and In the park he hears the echoes of forest laughter. The oak tree whls- | pers, he cannot understand tljp mut tered words but, somehov, he knows | it la-telling the legend of forgotten youth. Poor Man Fainted The man had Just Informed the Pull man agent that he wanted a berth. I "Upper or lower?" asked the agent. "What's the difference?" asked the man. "A difference of 50 cents In this case. The lower Is higher than the upper. The higher price Is, for the lower. If you want It* lower you'll have |o go higher. We sell the upper lower than the lower. Most people don't like the upper, although it Is low er on account of being higher. When you occupy an upper you have to get np to go to bed and get down when i you get up. You can have the lower If you pay higher. The upper is lower than the lower because !t Is higher. If you ore willing to go higher, it will be lower—" But the poor man had fainted.— Postal Spirit. Laugh for Health The diaphragm beats a tattoo on the stomach when you laugh. Every time you let go a good hearty laugh this diaphragm pops up and down on your liver, and helps to drive away the very thing that gives you the blues —bilious- 1 ness.

You may laugh because you are hap-' py, and you may be happy because you lai gh. It Is the one thing,"where the cause is the effect and the effect Is the cause. Any man can be a million aire of good cheer. —Associate Con tractor. What's Wrong Here?

HEAVY DEATH RATE \ IN DARK CONTINENT, Conditions in French Colo* nial Possessions Bad. The Journal dea Debats Is dis tressed over the apparent decline of "the native population in France's black possessions. French Equatorial Af rica now has less than one inhabitant per square kilometer, and the death rate appears to be considerably higher than the birth rate, writes the Living Age. Doctor Boye, chief of the health service from 1920 to 1922, character izes the depopulation of these terri tories "de plus en plus angolssante," and. reports that "tribes formerly prosperous and vigorous are today on the verge of extinction." Recording to a provincial governor," wnere, populous and flourishing vil lages and broad acres of cultivation were numerous 15 years ago, only 'skeletons of villages" now remain, their t cabins In disrepair and theif fields neglected. One territory having 23,950 Inhabitants, in which an accu rate record has been kept, reports that the deaths exceeded the births in ,& single year by 2,425. A larger enu meration shows, per 100,000 natives, 4,- 470 births and 6,524 deaths per an num. x Conditions are sofnewhat better in French East Africa, where the popula tion Is denser —about 3.5. Inhabitants per square kilometer—but unequally distributed. Even here the recruiting officers report that one adult male out of every fij£ or six of army ago is fit for military service. In the sola district where an actual enumeration has occurred, out of a population of 25,000 there were 1,007 births and 1,- 161 deaths. The two prinoipal scourged of the African" native in his own home are social diseases and malari%(_ Malaria appears to be the chief cause of In fant mortality. Pneumonia and tuber culosis are also devastating scourges, "the spread of tuberculosis being close by associated with the Increasing use of alcoholic liquors." One of the most significant and dis turbing features of this gloomy sur vey Is the evidence of a rapidly de creasing birth rate, due to the dis eases already mentioned, the sleeping I sickness, alcoholism and artificial re striction of births. In case of 563 ne ! gro families Impartially selected on the Gold coast, 138 were childless and 244 had but a single child. At Daker 10 per cent of the Infants born die at birth and 50 per cent during the first four years.

How Nature Provides . for Seeds "Traveling" Most people would be surprised If told that "the dandelion growing on their back lawn had Its origin In Af rica. "Yet this might easily be so, for seeds do travel In the most remarkable way. * How then, do they do It? One way Is by air. Those that travel In this manner have a kind of wing or para chute attached to their seed, by means j of which be carried by fhe wind for - miles before they finally come to earth and grow. • Others with the aid,of a light float take a sea voyage and travel with the current of the water for great dis tances. But by for the most Inter esting way of all Is the seed that trav- els with animals and birds. This Is done with the help of a hooked at- ! tachmegt which clings to the unimal's 1 fur.

Those who study nature find that age-long traits and habits are being in some cases modified and la others entirely changed.

One day a backbird. drinking at one of these ponds, got hold of a young trout, probably accidentally, but found It was excellent feeding.
