Louis CrommeIin Chiefly
Responsible for Progress
of Irish Linen Industry

Louis GrOmmeln, who fled from
France after the repeal Of the Edict
Of Nantes in 1929, is chiefly RESPONSE
bic for the Irish linen industry. When
he left France he was accompanied
by q number Of refugees who helped
him greatly improve the Irish linen
trade. In I'LL, when the board Of
trustees was formed to encourage and
extend the manufacture Of linen in
Ireland, the machinery in use was very
simple and was worked principally
by hand. Soon after, in 1925, new
machinery was invented and applied
for many of the processes.
In 1865 DIR. James Ferguson Of Bel
fast received a premium from the linen
board for the successful application Of
lime in linen bleaching. He intro
duced the use Of sulphuric acid i'm
ITO. Up to that time the acid en-
ployed was buttermilk and soil Of
cattle applied instead Of alkali.
After that improvements took place
rapidly. Potash for making dye TO
boil the yarns and cloth came into use
in 1889, and chloride Of lime, the
bleaching agent, in 1895.

No Two Persons
Are Alike
Difference in Hands. Feet
and Limbs

1t is Il scientific fact that no two
persons in the world are alike. Stop
for Il moment and think and one will
realize that this is true. Take any
one Of your friends and YOU will cas-
ily recall that while two have n or
more points Of similarity there are Il
dozen different features in which they
do not agree at all. Whoever heard
of twins that were alike in everything?
They may look the same in Il general
way, but they are not; there will be
one or more characteristics that will
absolutely identify n from the other.
Getting down to actual facts, no two
sides of a person are alike; the left
Is different from the right. The right
hand is larger than the left, but the
left foot is nearly always larger than
the right. A persons right arm is
longer, heavier and larger than the
left, possibly because it is the work
ing arm of the body, while the law of
Opposites DEGREES that the left leg shall
be slightly larger than the right. Again,
one ear is always larger than h other
or one shoulder is higher than its com
panion, and 81 it goes on down the
line.

America Is Surpassed by
Europe in Eating Potatoes

In this country the chief and practi-
cally only interest in the potato today
is as a vegetable for the table. We are
greatly surpassed in this use by Eu-
rope, and Germany in particular. In
that land the average annual per
capita consumption was seven bushels
In normal times, while our own was
two and a half. The laborers Of east.
ern Germany ate seventeen bushels
per annum. The other European coun-
tries are, as a rule, far above us and
the diet Of many an Irishman is said
to be potatoes and spring water-fOr
breakfast, dinner and supper. In addi-
ton to this direct consumption, uses
of the potato largely unknown to Uncle
Sam are for -four, starch, dextrine,
glucose and alcohol.

Evidence Indicates Indian
Late Conner, Compared With
Residents During Ice Age

Several scientific investigators agree
that the Indian as we know him is a
comparatively late conner. Whether he
arrived by way Of Alaska from Asia
may never be discovered, but the relics
Of his civilization are believed to date
back not more than a few thousand
years ut most. observes n writer in
Boys Life. There is much evidence
on h other hand to indicate that
men lived In North America at the
close OF h Ice age and perhaps dur
ing the glacial period. The evidence
is found for the most part in the Ohio
and Delaware valleys. The rude in
struments these men used II their
hunting and homes have been found
buried deep in gravel which is be-
lieved to date back to the close Of The
ice age. If this be the case men
lived in America 10000 or $4,000 years
ago. Some biologists believe that the
gravel deposits are considerably old
er. How these men found their way
to America in remote antiquity. how
much Of the land they occupied and
where they disappeared are perhaps
the most fascinating problems in
American archaeology. The patient
Investigations OF many trained scien-
lists are carrying us every day nearer
the answer.
