READING Faces.

The New York Medical Record in
IN article entitled "The Face and It's
Expression in Diagnosis" is of the
opinion that the Sherlock Holmes fac
ulty in the average doctor enables him
to read in his patients face in a mo-
ments observation that which the
laboratory orphyscal examination will
be "a long time finding out. Going
somewhat further the writer says that
the physician may have read some
thing in the face Of the dog of the
patients household. That at the doc
TORS first visit the dogs face would
have shined forth a welcome; at the
next day he could read unalloyed glad
ness at his visit and confidence in him;
at the third visit the dogs face would
wear a detected look. The wise physi-
cion would know what this meant. The
family had changed DOCTORS"

CriGin of Lace-Makinq.

A romantic legend is still current
among the peasants of Europe concern.
ing the origin of lace. AS the story
goes. lover, who could offer his be-
trothed no costly gift, one day brought
to her a leaf which he had plueked
in the forest.
She accepted it as a true token of
love, and preserved it with care. In
tine the lover went away-to the war,
perhaps--and never returned.
The maiden priced the leaf then as
a sacred treasure, and when she found
only the delicate veining left Of her
keepsake, she took needle and thread
and tried to copy the fairylike web.

ONCE BUSY CITY NOW QUIET
Wisby Has Little to Show That 1t Was
at One Time LiveIiest Place of
Its Size in Europe.

To the eastward Of Sweden, in the
inhospitable Baltic, lies the great
island of Gothland, with it's capital of
Wisely. Little visited and little known,
Wisely is one of the most interesting
cities of northern Europe. 1t is in the
track of half the Russian and Scandi-
navian sea commerce, but few ships
make the land today in which was once
the busiest of northern harbors.
Land at Wisely and you find a quiet
little city with Uncovered houses and
gardens of roses, going about its unim'
portant affairs in an atmosphere of
placid calm. 1t takes a considerable
effort of the Imagination to call up q
picture of the times when Wisely was
tc the Baltic and the North sea what
Venice in the height Of her power was
to the Mediterranean. Wisely in those
days was the wealthiest and liyelieSt
city of it's size in Europe.
The men of Wisely seem to have been
traders from the beginning. Back i'll
the ancient Morse chronicles there is
mention made of Wisely galleys that
went all over the known globe and
traded the treasures of the Levant
with Morse kings. Today they are still
digging about in q desultory fashion
on the island in search of historical
relics ard the shovels bring up coins
of all the ancient nations-coins of old
Britain, of barbarian Russia, Of the
numberless German states, Of France
and Spain and north Africa. Wisely
gathered the gold of every land with
her venturous trading keels, in times
when q little business trip had as much
romance and danger as the forays of
knight errant fighting over his lady's
eyebrow.

Shin and It's Gender,

The word "ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu.
guese and possesses no sex in Teutonic
and Scandinavian, remarks the Marine
Journal.
Perhaps it would not be an error to
trace the custom of feminizing ships
back to the Greeks, who called them by
feminine names, probably out of defer
ence to Athene, goddess of the sea.
But the English-speaking sailor, as
signs no such reasons. The ship to
him is always lady, even though she
be Il man-o'-war. She possesses Il waist
collars, stays, laccs, bonnets, ties, rib
bons, chains, watches and dozens Of
other distinctly feminine attributes.

Practical Agricultural Courses.

Dean C. B. Williams says that &C
tive arrangements are being made to
put in final shape the short course in
agriculture for farmers that are to
start on Octobr 80 at the State Col
lege, Raleigh, and continue for six
teen weeks. These courses have been
especially designed to give those who
come to the College for this short
practical instruction, information
along different lines of farming prac-
teal instruction., information along
different lines of farming practiced in
the state that may be put into use on
the home farm by those who come.
The early farming in North Caro-
lima under pioneer conditions OF So
ciety was q comparatively simple
operation, but in this day and time,
as. farming has become a more COM
Dlex and commercial enterprise and
when crops are raised on a large scale
for competition in world markets, the
wellJinformed and alert farmer, other
things being equal, is the n who Is
going to make the most out of his
farming operations. The courses, as
arranged, will no doubt greatly aid
those taking them to become more
modern and businesslike in their farm
ing operations than they could other
wise possibly have been.
Opportunity will be afforded to
give the busy men on the farm, both
old and young, to spend two or four
months at the college studying the
different branches of farming they
have especial interest in and do SO at
a season of the year when work on
the farm is least pressing. Those who
come will be brought in close person
al touch with the specialists OF the
College, Experiment Station, and Ex'
tension Service and thereby be given
AN opportunity to become acquainted
with the work that is being done In
the state at the present time IN the
interest of those engaged in farming.
Those attending the course should be-
come better fitted for taking up their
life work by having secured a better

in general and q higher efficiency and
knowledge in their chosen fields OF
farming.
Courses are to be offered in field
crops, in live stock including dairying,
horticulture, and in poultry. Arrange
ments have been made whereby spe-
cial lectures on different phases OF
agriculture will be given by the differ
ent specialists of the college. expert
ment station, and extension service.
Many farmers of this county and
of other counties in the state should
make every effort to arrange their
farm work so that they can avail
themselves of this splendid opportu-
nifty of visiting the college and secur-
ing practical information that is to be
offered there in the short courses il

especially for the busy farmers OF the
state.

FISHERIES COMMISSION REMOVES
RESTRICTIONS UPON FISH,
ING INDUSTRY.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Ooings and Happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina PEG.
Pile, Gathered Around the State
Capital.


Temporary removal of restrictions
upon the fishermen of eastern North
Carolina in the food fish industry viii!
provide several million pounds of good
North Carolina food fish as substitutes
for higher priced meats. according to
Henry A. Page, North Carolina food
administrator.
Mr.. Page warmly commends the
FISHERIES Commission in it's determi-
nation to remove restrictions. Ac-
cord1ng to statements from the coast,
the food fish industry of eastern North
Carolina had been severely crippled.
With the intense need of the moment.
the Fisheries Commission, charged
with the duty of formulating regula-
tons for the fishing industry, felt it.
self justified in removing certain re.
strictions.
This action was taken at the solicit
tation Of the food administration, it
being recognized that the public inter
est demanded a larger supply of fish
for substitution for beef, pork and NUT
ton which must be exported to Europe
for the maintenance of our armies and
the armies and civilian population OF
u allies.
The fisheries of eastern North Caro-
liza are among the most important OF
the Atlantic coast and the removal of
the restrictions on Tar Heel fishermen
means not only that the people of this
state will be more largely supplied
with fresh and salt fish at much lower
prices than has prevailed recently, but
that hundreds of thousands of pounds
of fish will be shipped to other states.
Food Administrator Henry A. Page
believes that with this larger supply
of fish available; with the season for
rabbits, squirrels and other game
opening; with the increased use of
poultry and eggs; with a vastly In
creased supply Of homegrown pork in
the state, North Carolina will be able
to release for export to Europe prac-
tically all of the million dollars worth
Of pork and beef which has been i'm
ported into this state each year here
tofore.
The program of the food admins
tration calls for the substitution in
hotels, cafes and homes of fish, poul-
try, game and other meat products for
beef and pork; the substitution Of 9th
err cereals and vegetables for wheat
products. and rigid economy in the use
of fats and sugar. the need for which
is desperate with all of our allies.
