VETS ENROLL Approximately 1 150 new stu dents, mostly veterans of World War II. have registered for the v. inter term at State Col!o:v. spell ing the institution's total enroll ment to about 2.150. Registrar W. !. Mayer announced recently. About ."0 war veterans were enrolled at the college last term, and the others, ho (lave just en tered the school have increased the number of students, who are s'udving under the "CI Bill ,,f Hndits." to 1.500. The heavy influx of veterans to the Stale College campus lias thrown an abnormal amount of work on the Office of Registration and the business office as well as the other divisions and depart ments of the college, an( final tab ulations of the student enrollment will not be complete for several davs. Registrar Mayer stated. GENERALS AND PRIVATFS EVEN IP IN CHINA II. Q. SHANGHAI The Army news- ' paper "Stars and Stripes'' said re cently in a page-one box: "Wash ington's Par.tagon Building has no corner on brass.

Cse Mesh In Skull Stainless steel ware mesh is now being used at the University of Cali fornia hospital to repair small de fects in the skull. Introduced by Dr. Edwin B. Brldrcy, the screen wire h is bien found to he tolerated well by the body and V be superior to small hone grafts or bone dust, pre viously used for filling in small cavi ties in the skull. The wire mesh satisfactorily replaces the bone in defects up to approximately one and one-half inches in diameter, such as are caused by )hc operation for a small brain tumor, drainage of a brain abscess, or repair of a de pressed fracture. The meshes of the screen are invaded by growing con nective tissue so that after a period of several months, the edges are firmly bound to the surrounding bone, S:.e and shape of the piece can be determined by direct meas urement at the operating ta,ble and can be cut to tit from a large strip with heavy curved surgical scis sors. During the last 18 months since this process has been in use by the division e,f surgery no ill ef fects of any kind have Lcen noted. Port Wine An industrial and commercial center, Oporto, Portugal, is second , in importance only to Lisbon, 170 miles to the southwest. One third of Oporto's population of 260,000 Is 1 engaged in manufacturing indus tries. These include distilling, sugar refining, textile weaving, food can- i ning and jewelry making. Most : important of all is the port wine industry. The rich wine takes its name from the town and is pro duced from a grape owing its excel lence to the soil and climatic condi tions of the Douro district. The wine is stored in caves on the south bank j of the river in the Villa Nova de j Gaia district. A special government j agency was created to safeguard 1 and guarantee the name, "Port," i and to guide production and sale of i the wine. Mexican Border Uprisings In the spring of 1916 Pancho Villa with a small band crossed into New Mexico and killed a number of Americans. To prevent further out rages President Wilson sent a de tachment of the regular army, under the command of General Pershing, to pursue Villa. The trr pene trated 400 miles into Mexico but were unable to capture the bandit A month after United States troops entered the country, a small force of United States soldiers were at tacked and reinforcements were sent to Pirrshing. In June a battle occurred at Carrizal where Persh ing's men were ambushed and many of them killed. United States troops remained In Mexico until early in 1917 when gradually they were withdrawn. Vitamin C Man Is daily dependent upon food for his supply of vitamin C because the human body has little capacity for storing this- vitamin which is so necessary for keeping the bones, teeth and blood vessels to good con dition. ' THE. WAYTTESVTLLE NEAR MISSES Early in his career John Barry more appeared in Philadelphia in a play that was so dull it aroused the killer instinct in the playgoers of the city of Brotherly Love. One night the audience intent on vent ing its wrath, came armed with soft tomatoes, eggs and a variety of overripe vegetables. When the young actor started his monolog in the last act the crowd bombarded him with their missiles. Barrymore dodged the hail of fly lng vegetables wdth great agility. Despite the withering barrage, he continued playing until the curtain was rung down. When the hisses of the audienc had subsided he came out from the wings, bowed and said almost triumphantly: "Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps I did not score a hit tonight. But re member, dear patrons, neither did you." Close Enough Nit While we're talking foolish ness, do you know if butterflies cry? Wit No. But I have seen a moth ball. Sweety Pie Joe Yeah, that girl is the apple if everyone's eye. Bdl Well, I just thought she was crabby. Slight Hint He Don't you like to be alone? She Yes. Beat it.

MOUNTAINEER Istanbul Key City In Power Politics The history of 30 eenturief bristles with proof of the strategic Import ance of the land and waters sur rounding Istanbul, ai old Constanti nople (and older Qyxantium) is now known. Today, Istanbul stands un , dimmed as th key City of a key area in the commercial and mili tary scheme of world powers. , Crown to a pore-metropolis of nearly a million people, Istanbul lies at the crossroads of two his toric routes of trade and conquest. The city is in Turkish Thrace, Tur key's tiry corner of southeastern Europe, the land bridge that joins Europe to Asia between the Black ea and the Aegean arm of the Med iterranean. And it lies on the Bos porus, the eastern gate of the Dar danelles Sea of Marmara Bospor us water corridor generally known as "the straits" that cuts across the land bridge to join the two busy seas. Both the straits and the land bridge to their north have been Turkish for nearly 500 years. But the succession of wars, treaties, con ventions and agreements which have threatened or affected control of the straits has seemed unending, with Russia almost always a par ticipant. Co-Ops Increase Net Savings in Business Year During their last business year, 137 farmer-owned elevator com panies which operated 181 plants did a total of $61,451,102 worth of business in buying grains and farm produce and in selling farm sup plies, and the companies increased their net savings by an avelage of $14,229 during the year. The average net savings of these companies was equal to earning 20.4 per cent on the net worth of the companies at the end of the year and also was equal to a little more than 40 per cent on their capital investment. The savings made by the co-operative elevators can be prorated back to patrons in propor tion to the amount of business done by each individual. Some of the changes in business services of the companies are a 250 per cent increase in feed grinding for patrons in the past 15 years, a great expansion in mixing feeds and cleaning seeds, and such an in crease in hauling that it is a handi cap to the company in some cases. The recent great rise in quantities of soybeans handled is a wartime development. Portuguese Homeland The Portuguese homeland, about as big as Maine or Indiana, counts 7,700,000 people, twice the population of the Hoosier State. Three-fifths of the area is under cultivation. Cork, port wine and sardines are the main exports, dependable as a source of national income because competition of other nations in sup plying them is limited. Lisbon, cap ital city of 700,000 people, had de veloped In prewar years as a great air transportation center and cross rdads of international missions be cause it is nearest European capi tal to the United States. Only 18 months ago the 150-year-old U. S. legation in Portugal was raised to embassy status. Portugal's colonial empire shrunken from its hey day by the loss of Brazil and ori ental areas, is still 26 times larger than the homeland. By far the big gest parcels are Angola and Mo zambique, in Africa. The Azores and Madeira, Portuguese islands in the Atlantic ocean, are regarded as an integral part of the republic. Scotland Yard The original Scotland Yard is a group of buildings surrounding a courtyard at the southeast corner of Charing Cross, London, famous as headquarters of the metropolitan police force for many years. The name is derived from the old palace that was situated on this site and used by visiting Scottish kings and ambassadors from the 10th to the 12th centuries. In 1890 the metro politan police, including the detec tive department, moved into an im posing group of buildings on the Thames embankment. The new quarters were christened New Scot land Yard by Police Commissioner James Monro. Generally the term is used with reference, not to build ings, but to the detective depart ment, world-renowned for tracking down criminals. Lovers of "who dunit" stories are among the most enthusiastic admirers of Scotland Yard. Aerosol Bombs More than 35 million of the one pound aerosol bombs chiefly load ed with pyrethrum as a mosquito killer had been manufactured for the armed forces when the war end ed. In the later stages of the war DDT was added to pyrethrum In many of the bomb for the sake of Its effect as a By killer as well as a mosquito killer. Some companies are already marketing aerosol bombs and many others are inter ested In manufacturing them under th public service patent which cov ers the invention by federal scien tists. For the protection of human beings in aiiplanes, tents and build ings, freon gas has been used as the propellant in aerosols because It is Bonpoisancus and nonlnflammable. For control of Insects In field crops the less expensive gas, methyl chlo Wai k ud with ffood results.

The vehicle fitted into the bottom of the branch and it was necessary for a wrecker to be brought to the scene to lift the truck off of the bodies. The men had gone after working hours to get some firewood up in the Mooney Cove, according to tin officers. The accident occurred about three-fourths of a mile from the Dellwood road. The branch is a small mountain stream, about four feet wide and very shallow hut the road which winds around it up to the cove was soft from the recent snows and rains. The bodies were brought to Gar rett Funeral Home as soon as they were taken from underneath the truck.
