—==============. Educated Grass” at State College 11- 1 — ' " "" ___ RESIDENTS of Raleigh and travel ers along U. S. Highway No. 1 have been much interested in a de velopment on the grass in front of the handsome Agricultural Building of the State College of Agriculture and Engineering. * As ’the picture shows, the words “N. C. State” appear clearly in the grass. This is not, as it might first seem, a miracle of growth but the result of a unique field test arranged with college officials by the distributors of Arcadian, the American Nitrate of Soda. Instead of just using Arcadian on an ordi nary plot, this novel method of placing it was chosen as the most effective way to prove the claim that the improved nitrate of soda produces luxurious plant growth. College officials, as well as passers by, admit this field test is one of the most convincing they have seen. dfe&AMBUNG f rm 'rqund .jll !

Parsonage Burns After Being Hit By Lightning Lightning struck St. Paul’s Luth eran church parsonage, about five , miles from Salisbury, last Friday afternoon between 3 and 4 o’clock . and set fire to the two-story frame , building which burned to the ground. Neighbors, who were called by , the ffather of the pastor, Rev. G. H.

IRELAND Director, Physical and Health Education jj l' Hew Jersey State Department of Public l ns traction Summer Camps The phenomenal growth in the number of summer camps is ample evidence of their popularity. Par ents marvel at the changes in their _children upon re turning home, not merely in physical appearance but in spirit and personal ity. Of course one big factor—which par ents are reluctant to admit—is the getting away from home. Beirut on one’s own, away from the routine demands of par ents, has a broadening effect that should not be minimized. Indeed, the camp is truly an educational institution in every sense of the word. It brings out the best and the worst in child nature, but with out stopping there, it makes the best appear worthwhile and it shows up the worst as something to be conquered. Parents needn’t worry over the safety of children at camp. Every thing possible is done to insure the maximum protection against acci dent and disease. As a rule only the best food supplies are pur chased, and the meals are usually balanced, well-prepared, and ample in amount. A modern summer camp is indeed a good investment in health, character, personality, and social development. It mates a distinct contribution which neither the home nor the school can quite equal. Interesting children in drinking milk will be the subject of Dr. Ireland’s next article Cardui Helped Lady For Nervousness and Run-Down Condition “I have taken Cardui several times for weak, run-down condi tion and it has helped me,” writes Mrs. Walter M. Cdulon, of Forsyth, Ga. "I was nervous and suffering from a weak condition. There were days when I had to lie down during the day. I sent for six bot tles of Cardui, as it had helped me before. Cardui gave me strength, Mopped the nervousness and helped «e in every way." ... Cardui may be Just what-you need. It can’t do you any harm, so why not try it? Thousands of women testify Car dui benefited them. If it does not benefit YOU, consult a physician. W e botu«, at drug Aorta Dog Flees Home When Pig Pal Dies .

The dog and pig had beefr raised together from babyhood and when Gartner killed the porker’s body howled dog disappeared. Calf Born With 3 Eyes, 2 Mouths Winsted, Conn.—A freak calf, having three eyes, two mouths, two tongues and two sets of nostrils, was born on the farm of John Peyre and appeared strong and de stined to live. The third eye is set in the center of the forehead. 31 METEORS BY MILLIONSI Francis S. Dane, Jr., of Lexington, Mass., with one of our dog teams at Pressure Camp. JiTTUB AMERICA, ANTARC TICA, June 26 (via Mackay Radio).—I have Just come down from the astronomical tower after observing my trillioq^h meteor. May be It was my squillionth! Any how, it Is pitch dark and I’m cold and tired, but I must get this story off to you on time. 1 am now a regular member of what we call the "Meteor Party,” helping Dr. Thomas C. Poulter, of Mt. Pleasant, la., chief of our scien tific group and second In command here while Admiral Byrd Is off In his hut 123 miles away; James M. Sterrett? of Bearer Falls, Pa.; Ralph W. Smith, aviator, of Fred erlcktown, O.; and Earle B. Per kins, of New Brunswick, N. J. Every night now for several weeks we have sat In the observation tower, about which 1 told you In a previous story, observing an area about 12 miles in diameter and to an atmo spheric depth of about 100 miles. In Dr. Moulton’s book, “An Introduc tlon to Astronomy, which I am studying, he calculates that, if it were humanly possible, we could pbserve at any given time from ten to twenty million meteors dally. In fther words, that number of me teors are In motion and headed toward the earth every day within the canopy of atmosphere with which the world Is surrounded. Luckily only comparatively tiny pieces of a few of them ever reach :he earth, being burned by the fric-, Jon caused by their rush through )ur atmosphere. Twenty million full dzed meteors hitting the earth all it once! Well, we shouldn't last ong! Dr. Poulter’s calculations, how >ver» differ from those of Dr. Moul on. Dr. Poulter says there are at east thirty million meteors flying iround in space every day and that In the meteor shower* of June 8 and 7 we were seeing about three times that number. And we believe him! This Is a careful calculation based op a two months’ observation by live observers. In all probability this Is due to the great depth of the atmospheric canopy In these lati tudes, also to the complete freedom from dust, smoke and vapor down here at the bottom of the world. These observations will be con tinued until the winter night ends In August and we should have some very interesting new data and theo ries which should be of great value to all astronomer*. Work of this kind makes the win ter night In filttle America very in teresting and It has certainly given me a chance to acquire some real knowledge available to only a few people In the world. Wonder what I’ll be able to do with this knowledge later on! From cows to seals to as tronomy. From aviation to ship na vigation to contract bridge. Such Is life around the South Pole! And Qee! How I’d like a hot bath, with real soap and big rough clean tow elk! Incidentally, we heard perfectly the round-by-round description of the Baer - Camera fight. Some battle! schools ana colleges are closing up where you are but 309 entire classes have enrolled in our club. If you’re interested in what we’re doing, off at the lower end of the world, send a self-addressed, stamp ed envelope to me at our American headquarters and a blue member ship card and big working map of all Antarctica will be sent you, all without cost or obligation.

O.—More than a mil lion railroaders are jubilant over P $4,000,000 monthly increase in their pay envelopes and executive approval of legislation which will retire at least 100.000 of their number on pensions this year. The wage increase, affecting 1. 030.000 men employed on the na tion’s carriers in every capacity ex cept executive, constitutes a two and one-half per cerft salary restor ation provided in an agreement reached between labofl and manager ment April 26. s Next January 1, the railroaders will receive another two and one half per cent, and on April 1. 1935. the remaining five per cent of the original 10 per cent pay cut of two years ago will be restored. In addition, the last step in mak ing a nation-wide . pension) insur ance system effective was taken when President Roosevelt signed legislation enacted by congress at the recent ession. "The pension act is the finest piece of railroad legislation since the eight-hour day was achieved in 1916,” said Alexander F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who retired last week as chairman of the Railway Labor Ex ecutive’s assoociation,. ——mm—g—^^ I AMAZE A MINUTE I: SC1ENTIPACTS c- BY ARNOLD Malarias high toll/ Malaria is responsible DIRECTLY'OR INDIRECTLY FOR 40% OF THE OEATH RATE IN INDIA. _ —r Brands Coal is being trade MARKED BY A SOUTHERN MINE WHICH BRANDS EACH LUMP WITH ci£>2LJ 100,000 RAISED SIX-INCH TROUT STOCKED IN STREAMS IS BETTER THAN 1,000,OOP SMALL FRY, WHICH CANNOT PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST NATU RAL ENEMIES.
