Earth Shock Tuesday.

South Carolina, along with
Virginia, North Carolina and
Georgia, was visited at $40
o'clock Monday evening by an
earth tremor which was very
p ;rceptibly felt and which,
locally, produced for an instant
the usual CONSERVATION attend
ant upon such events. The shake
lasted only a fraction of minute
but buildings quivered and cleo
trio swinging lamps swayed so
noticeably that the strange feel
ing produced by such occasions
was abiding in the breasts of
the populace. No damage has
thus far been reported from the
shock.
The earthquake was the first
that has been noted in this COM
munity since January l, 1912.
Prior to that time this section
had not auivered under the in
fiuence of such a tremor since
1886 which was the year of the
Charleston outburst, the most
violent in the history of this
part of the country.

MAGGIE HAS MONEY,
But STILL she BEGS
(Rock Hill Herald, Friday. }

Wearing a shabby looking long
black coat, shabby dress, a hat
fashioned in the nineties G? and
with a wrinkled and care-worn
appearance. over which a pail of
sadness had descended, Maggie
Wilson, general beggar-nuispnce,
boarded the MONDAY trai,. and
sworse she would neve' again
set her foot in Rock Hill. There
was a reason.
known to the polio of the two
states and pro- ably others.
Maggie is q .egular nuisance,
one that . extremely hard to get
rlu of. For years she has been
plying her profession and as a
consequence is an actress of no
mean ability, insofar as her art
is concerned. She goes to a
home and the appeal of tears in
her voice and a we'll figured ex-
preston of direst need on her
seamy visage are calculated to
melt the heart Oh an adamant.
And she usually succeeds. though
not every time. Sometimes she
is referred to the Associated
Charities. On such occasions.
her appealing voice suddenly
changes and she retorts some
thing like this 'Lookahere, |
have broken two umbrellas over
the heads Of women telling me
TO go to the Sass-ciated Chari-
ties"
Maggie had So in greenbacks
and $50. in pennies, nickles.
dimes and quarters when caught
this morning. She also had a
bank book on a Columbia savings
bank, showing balance of
1928. 88. Chief Youngblood re-
quired her to put up a ten dollar
bond for her appearance to
answer the charge of begging.
Then did Maggie adopt her ap-
pealing attitude. Appearing
hysterical she moaned I'm kill
myself, please don't take my
money, l will starve. l worked
so hard for it. 1t is all have"
and considerable more of the
same soft stuff But she had
confronted the chief before. If
you ever come mere again, he
told her, | will take every cent
you have, bank book and all,
and keep you in Jail. She had
been detained after several peo-
pie had complained of her ac-
tions, which are nothing less than
nuisance. And besides she
has already considerably more
than the $37. so which is the per
capita of the citizens of the
U. S., and consequently does
not need to beg.
Mag said she was extremely
sorry she struck Rock Hill. 1t
cost me more than / got, she
ayered. She seems to have
a mania for begging and evi-
IDENTIFY boards all she gets.

BoBoLINK BEING WIPED OUT
"sportsmen" Accused of Practically
DISCRIMINATING This Sweet-Singing
Friend of the Farmer.

Years ago the bobolink was a not
uncommon summer resident and nest
ing bird in suitable sections of north,
ern New Jersey. Today there is lit,
tie evidence that its status in the state
embraces more than semi-yearly visits
during spring and fall migration
periods.
The reason is not far to seek. I'm
der the name of reed bird" it has
been classed as a game bird and its
shooting permitted under the laws of
the state duriHg the months of Sep
tember, October, November and De-
cember. The present regulations un-
der the federal migratory bird law
shorten this open season to the months
of September and October, but they
are subject to change at any time at
the behest of the gunners.
The wonderful song of the bobolink,
that prince of songsters, therefore, is
rarely heard now hereabOuts. The
demand of few marsh gunners for
the legal right to shoot this bird of
valuable insectivorous habits out
weighs the agricultural interests and
the esthetic pleas in its behalf. That
Incompatible rollicking melody is
Nushed over all the New Jersey mead
Nws. because this bird, without a
single attribute of a game bird, is
Slaimed by few pseudo sportsmen
rs exclusively their own.-Exchange

silk From sawdust.

Making artificial silk from sawdust
and other lumber waste is the latest
experiment of the United States forest
products laboratory at Madison, Wis.
The use of artificial silk made direct
ly from wood is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Originally its principal
use was in the manufacture of braids
and trimmings, but recently the manu-
facture of hose from artificial silk has
become an industry Of vast impor-
lance. other uses for artificial silk
are woven goods of all kinds, Innings,
tapestries, ETC., neckties, ribbons,
sweater coats, etc. About 100000
pounds of artificial silk are used an
nually in the United States. There
are several methods of manufacture,
but that from wood pulp is usually
made by treating the wood pulp with
caustic lye to form a viscose, which
is allowed to age for some time. 1t
is then forced through dies to form
threads, which are hardened by a
treatment with sulphuric acid, ammo
MUM sulphate, and sodium bOrate, or
formic acid. After washing and dry
ing, the silk is ready for use. The
laboratory is investigating the arti-
fetal silk problem as a possibility for
utilizing wood waste, and has on hand
variety of articles made from the
material-Boston Transcript.

STARCH WILL BE IMPORTANT
Bouffant skirts, Which Seem to Be
surely Coming, Require Much
Attention From the Laundress.

II we are to wear bouffant skirts,
we are probably in for period OF
starchiness. Organdie, one of the fash
ionable summer fabrics, is most GER
tainly a fabric that bears out this
supposition. Yet many housekeepers
maids of all work and even laun-
dresses, have forgotten all they ever
knew about the gentle art of starch
in@
There was a day when everything
was starched and some housekeepers
even had a bit of starch put in the
table linen--iust trace to give It
glossiness and suggestion Of stiff
ness. Table linen, Of course, should
always be exempt from starching. 1t
should gain glossiness and stiffness
from long ironing when it is very
damp
1t is OF the utmost Importance to
mend anything that needs starch be-
fore II is laundered. II the torn or

Finds Diamonds in Sea.

A story of package Of diamonds
worth e1O0 (S5OO) found floating in
the North sea by one of the crew Of
British mine sweeper was told in a
London police station by deckhand,
Walter Gleeson, who had been ar
rested while trying to dispose of the
gems
At the police station the deckhand
confessed that while on a trawler
which was engaged in the hazardous
task of gathering up mines in the
North sea he saw a package floating
in the water. He got it with a boat
hook and when he opened it he found
98 polished and rs unpublished gems.
The deckhand attempted in company
with a friend to sell the diamonds to
a jeweler at Cardiff. There was moth
ing on the package to indicate the
owner or how the diamonds came to
be floating about in the mine strewn
waters of the North sea.

The great artist, Watteau, is hav-
ing a great influence in the world OF
dress at the present moment. We
have Vatican panniers and Watteau
hats, not to mention frilled sleeves and
folded bodices borrowed fom the same
period, writes a Paris correspondent,
The Watteau dresses Of today are
chiefly made of taffeta, Indeed this
silk is such a general favorite that It
seems as though It must completely
tlffust into the shade the soft satins
and cleaning velvets Of yesterday.
The Parisiennes have gone crazy
over taffetas and this is very for
tunate thing, for of taffetas there
seems to be plenty, which is more
than can be said OF many other dress
materials,

Bibles on Watch Chains.

The devout of all lands have their
own particular way Of giving outward
demonstration Of their piety. In Rus
sia it frequently takes the form of
wearing miniature Bibles as charms
on the watch chain They are got up
in attractive form about an inch
square and three-eighths of an inch
in thickness, and they contain five
books of Moses. The text Of the book
is in Hebrew and the titles in Latin.
1t is true that the book could not be
read without the aid Of powerful
magnifying glass, but that does not

great reliance on the fact that he car

CARRIED THE HONEY BACK
Bees Proved They Had Something TO
say About the Disposition Of
Their Product,

A farmer possessed a few swarms
OF bees which he kept IN what are
called box hives. Inside there were
small boxes, which would hold about
two or three pounds of honey each, an
exchange says About eight OF these
were placed on the top OF the hive, and
as at least one side OF each box was OF
glass, the keeper could easily look
into the hive and see when the boxes
were filled with honey.
The farmer usually chose 20 do this
early in the morning before the bees
came out 10 begin the labors Of the
day, or at night when they had fin
ished them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested, and
usually try to sting the intruder.
One day some friends were At the
farmers house and as they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would
venture to take 1t out in the after
noon. He knew that some of the boxes
were quite full. The hives stood few
rods from the house, and on that side
of the house were large doors lead
ing into the cellar. While the boxes
were partly Of glass, the bottom Of
each was made OF little stats, so that
the bees could go in and out as they
liked.
The farmer took out several boxes,
carried them into the cellar, shut the
cellar doors nearly together, aud hur.
ried away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly out and
return to the hive But, in his haste
TO avoid being stung, the farmer left
the doors open too much so that the
cellar was quite light whereas 1t
should have beeN dark.
The bees were so excited, and en-
aged that they flew in all directions,
attacking everyone who came in their
way. When suppertime came there
were so many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to go
near them. Early the next morning
the farmer looked out of the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full of bees.
At about ten o'clock he looked again
and not bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up the boxes. But,
instead of being heavy with honey, as
they were the day before when taken
from the hive, they were almost as
light as air, being filled only with
empty combs. The bees had worked
with a viii and had carried all the
honey back to the hives.

pot lhat the plant is growing H., II is
a good plan to measure round the wild
est part Of the pot, and then allow
three times that amount in length of
the strip the width should be two
inches wider than the length of the
pot, so that an inch can be folded
in top and bottom. Suppose plant
pot measured IA inches in circumfer-
ence then to make a paper cover for
it the strip should be 40 inches long,
To Make First of all turn in an
inch OF paper top and bottom, then lay
the strip out fiat on a table and fold
1t in inch widths, first one side, then
the other, so that when the end of the
strip is reached it is just strip Of pa
per an inch wide, but thick; this strip
should be put under a weight for an
hour or two, and the paper will pull
out like concertina.
About two inches from the top and
bottom of the cover thus made run
through the flutes a narrow thread or
thin cord; for instance, on green pa
per a gold thread looks pretty.
Put the cover round the plant pot and
secure at the sides by tying the ends
of the thread If liked, the cover
can be simply pasted up at the side
it is just matter of choice.

The Arab who is fighting with the
Turks in Mesopotamia has some Curl
Gus ways He takes off his shoes
when he enters a house, but keeps on
his hat He reads and writes from
right to left. He eats scarcely any
thing for breakfast or dinner, but in
the evening he sits down to a hot meal
swimming in oil His sons eat with
him, but the ladies of the household
wait till the males have finished.
The Arab rides a donkey when trav-
cling, his wife walking behind, and he
laughs at the idea of giving UP his
seat for a woman. The Arab has one
strong virtue, and that is, he is rarely
seen drunk He is not very affection
ate, is very ignorant, and has so little
initiative that he'rarely takes o. any
thing worth doing, or attempts to
carry out any enterprise.
