To Force Flower Bulbs.

Place the bulb in the center Of .
good-sized sponge, set 1t in a pretty
dish and keep the sponge wet. After
the bulb is we'll started, scatter some
grass seed over the surface Of the
sponge. To make geraniums branch
out and blossom, place a common pin
directly in the center Of the end Of
the main stalk. To force crocuses In.
doors, put a thin layer Of absorbent
cotton on a dinner plate. Place the
crocus bulbs on this and cover with
another layer Of cotton about two
inches deep. Keep the underneath
layer damp, and from time to time, as
the top cotton gets dusty, add a little
fresh cotton. Put the plate where 1t
will get plenty Of sunshine, and the
crocuses will grow through the cotton.
Bulbs that are making slow progress,
although they have formed good roots,
may be forced by placing the crooks
in a pan and pouring at least an inch
of boiling water around the bottoms.
Give them sufficient sunshine and
turn them daily that each side may
benefit by the SUM-.

times yield fossils, which, If not 80
large as the great saurian mentioned

interest to men Of science. During
the summer Of 1909, the remains OF
several fossil turtles were collected by
members Of the United States geo.

these Prof. o. P. Hay has been able

Dangerous Kind Of Spoonlna.

longer the better. If authority Is neo

About the Tango.

The tango mystery grows all the
time. 1t Is asserted upon every hand
that nobody dances it. Still, the fu-
ror continues. ASK a dancing master
If he teaches the tango and he will
tell you no. He knows what 1t Is
he has seen it done by experts-but
be doesn't teach it. 1t is not a popu-
lar dance. There seems to be two
tangoes. One Is the tango which
comes to us from the Argentine Re
public-a dance for eXperts-a slow,
difficult thing that is not worth doing
at all unless one can do 1t very well,
indeed. The other tango Is any new
dance-the Castle walk, the hesitation
waltz, or anything our fathers did not
dance. This latter Is the popular
tango danced all over the country. 1t
is the one at which the people who do
not care about dancing continually
thunder. 1t is not the tango at all.
The tango is a myth, and they are
knocking the daylights out Of 1t every
day.

Boom In Calcium Carbide.

The worlds output Of calcium car
bide in 1918 exceeded $4,000 metric
tons, says the Engineering and Mining
Journal. The a~utogenous welding Of
metals requires a large quantity, about
$4,000 tons being consumed for that
purpose in Germany, as compared with
$4,000 tons for Illuminating. The price
for calcium carbide in Europe was
maintained at about ELL los per ton.
The production and price are regu-

e. H. BLAKE WRITES OF
COMPULSORY EDUCATION

Editor Press and Banner:
A negro school teacher in South Carolina
recently said that the white people Of
South Carolina passed a law in 1895 COM
polling the negroes to attend school when
the constitutional convention required that
q negro be able to read and write, or that
he hold property before he could vote. He
smiled and said that since that time the
negro children could not lie kept from
going to school, and that the negro schools
were always crowded; but that now the
white people would be forced to pass a
compulsory education law to give the
white children the education they would
need to compete with the negro. That ne
gro teachers statement Is plain enough.
So We have in South Carolina q compul-
sorry law already for the negroes. Here is
what Hon. James D. Sullivan, chief Of
compulsory attendance division Of the
State of New York, replies from Albany
under date Of May 2sth, 1914, as to the ef-
feet Of the compulsory attendance law in
that state and what the people think Of it:
"Mr. E. 81. Blake, Greenwood, S. c.:
Dear Sir-Your letter of inquiry under
date of May 25th received, and I beg leave
to answer your questions in the order sub
mitted.
81. DO you believe education has made
greater progress In your state under a
compulsory education law than before such
a law was passed?
No other single school statute has done
so much for the cause Of education in this
State as the Compulsory Education Law
now in operation here. Thousands Of chill
dren who have been In attendance upon
lawful instruction annually since the law
went into effect would have been growing
up without a chance for education, aug
menting the ranks Of illiteracy and swell
ing the ranks Of our criminal population,
were it not for the Compulsory Education
statute. But very few children in this
great State physically and mentally com
petent are found out of school while the
schools are In session.
SO. Are the people trying to get it re-
pealed?
They certainly are not. Every single
newspaper and magazine In this State Is a
staunch advocate Of a rigid enforcement
of this law, and all our people in the vari-
GUS walks Of life have come to believe
thoroughly in this statute. The Compul'
za.u. rl,oo4,on To- hoe oopoa 70 ctav and
it will yet do for our people what a similar
statute has done for the people in Ger
many during the last 70 years. Illiteracy
in the German Empire is almost a vanish
ing point, as a result of a vigorous en-.
forcement of attendance laws in that coun.
try.
Every State in the Union now has a
workable compulsory education law except
the following: Oklahoma, Texas, Florida,
New Mexico, Georgia, Mississippi, and
South Carolina.
"In no state whore a compulsory educa-
ton law has been enacted in my opinion
will It ever be repealed, and in every state
having such a law, year by year it is being
made more mandatory, specific, compre-
hensive and wOrkable."I
Mr.. Editor, what are the people Of South
Carolina going to do about it?
Yours verytruly,
E.. H. Blake.

The Missing
Suitcase

Il know you had a perfectly de-

said the girl who was calling.
Indeed, we did," said the hostess.
1T Is too bad that you could not be
there"
II was heart-broken because I had
to miss it. But tell me everything.
l want particularly to hear about the
girl your brother Is engaged to-"
ooh. Alice. She's the dearest
thing!"
Nice looking?"
shes a dream! Tall and slender
and willowy."
"One Of the staid and digniied
type?"
Not at all. That was what we
feared, but she's nothing Of the sort.
I laughed so much during the week
she was here that II l never laugh
again I can't complain that I haven't
had my share"
you might pass round some Of the
fun"
well, you know 1t Is not a long
journey here from Middle Junction,
where Alice lives, so she decided not
to bring a trunk"
Not bring a trunk?"
mo, she decided to put everything
in her brothers suitcase"
But what in the world can a girl
get into a s%uitcase?'
"You would be surprised to know
all that Alice got into that suitcase.
It must have been as big as a box
car"
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1914-06-03

when we had heard all about the
suitcase I took Alice up to her room
to fix up as best she could, and there
was barely time to get ready for din
ner. But she said she would just curl
her hair a little and wash her face,
and make her travelling dress do until
she could send home or do some
shopping. So I sat down while she
was preparing herself before the
glass. The first thing she said was:
oh, dear! My curling iron is In the
s~uitcase!'"
How provoking!"
Wasn't 1t? But I said: Never
mind. You can curl your hair with
my IRON
AT that a sudden thought struck
her and she fell back on the bed and
screamed with laughter"
What was it,"
THAT was what I wanted to know.
When I approached her she reached
for me and pulled me down on the
bed with her and cried: Jennie,
can't curl my hair!'"
"'Why not?' I asked her.
Because she gasped, my hair is
in the suitcase, too!'
I'VE just chung to each other and
laughed until mother heard US and
came running to see what 1t was all
about. Then when we told her she
screamed with laughter, too.
TT broke down all barriers of re
serve between Alice and US and we
had a perfectly lovely time."-Chi-
