SHOWED ENMlTY IN B0YH00D
Encounter Between Youthful Crom.
we'll and King Charles I Might
Be Called Prophetic.

Cromwell and Charles Of England
first met when they were children at
Hlnchinbrook house, the home of u
mutual friend of both the king and
divers father. The boys were told
to play together while their elders
talked over affairs Of state and fash
ion. They got along well enough for
Il while. and then dispute arose.
The young king was not used to op-
position to his princely will, and when
Oliver stoutly chung to his rights the
king struck him.
Oliver cared not Il bit that the blow
was aimed by kings hand. He
swung his somewhat grimy fist as hard
as he could, and caught Charles on
the nose with the to-be-eXpected re-
suit. Blood flowed in quantities, and
the young prince set up a great howl.
Servants came running, and all might
have gone i'll with the careless COM
moner had not Charles father taken
hand and declared that the blow
was to be forgiven, as it was given
in defense of Il right, aud his son must
learn; to know that right was greater
than kings.

SURVEY WORLD BY WIRELESS
Scheme to Be Tested in Determining
the Boundary Between South and
West Australia.

1t is proposed to utilize wireless
telegraphy in determining the exact
position of the boundary between
South and West Australia. The bound
AIRY is fixed by act Of parliament as
the 10th degree of longitude east
Of Greenwich. The exact position OF
the longitude will be ascertained by
the use Of time signals from a high
power wireless station situated at
some point between Greenwich observa-
tory, in England, and Sydney. in Aus
tralia, the signals being received ST.
simultaneously ut both stations.
Most Of the great observatories OF
the world are now collaborating in a
REORGANIZATION Of the longitudinal
division of the earth's surface by
means of wireless time signals, and
this is one of the earliest uses Of the
system to settle a disputed position.
Given favorable static conditions, it
has been found that signals from the
Lyons wireless station, in France, can
be received in Australia as we'll as at
Greenwich, and signals from other sta
tons, more favorably situated, are also
being tested. The cooperation Of the
United States as well as the British
government has been invited. The
scheme is the first step toward COM
prehensive determination Of the whole
longitudinal survey Of Australia.

Archeoloeist Must 30 Scholar, Lingu-
list, Engineer and Artist, and
Expert Handler Of Men,.

The modern archeolOgist In Egypt
must be more than a scholar. He
must have studied history, it is true;
he must be familiar with what is
known Of the art and life Of Old
Egypt and he must have mastered the
ancient language 50 that he can read
the hieroglyphs carved on temple and
tomb.
But scholarship is only part of his
equipment. He must know something
of engineering and something Of draw
ing; he must have sense Of organi-
cation; he must himself be ready to
turn to with pick and shovel, should
occasion arise.
The task of disinterring ancient
structures and their precious contents
uninjured is Il delicate one, not to be
done hastily or haphazardly.
In addition to being scholar and
engineer, linguist and artist, the mod
ern archeolosist must understand how
to handle men. The men employed
In archaeological excavation in Egypt
are usually boys from 10 to 20 years
Of age. Older than that, in q country
where men and women age tragically
fast, they are likely to be stupid.
Usually they are irresponsible and,

The wise archeologist puts them on
piece-work-so much for every cubic

carefully calculated on the basis Of the
"antika" dealers current rates, for
every object unearthed.
Since tho bakshish varies with the
condition Of the object, it is to the
interest of the worker to get each

breakage is inevitable, with no part
missing.
Half Of the minor objects discovered

HELEN EDDY DOES FINE
WORK IN FORBIDDEN THING"

Helen Jerome Eddy is known as
the best read actress in motion pic
lures. The feminine star of Allan
Dwan's production, "The Forbidden
Thing" playing at the Grand, begin
ming Saturday, passes all her time
between pictures behind the covers
Of book or magazine. She is a
STUDENT philosopher and savant-yet
she is one of the most unspoiled art
lists in motion pictures today.
When she was told that she would
play the part of Joan in "The Forbid
den Thing" she quickly gathered to-
gether all her literature on the Pill
grim fathers, New England customs,
manners and people. Therefore,
when you see her in 1.-THE Forbidden
Thing you will see bit of interpre-
tative work seldom registered on the
screen.
Mr.. Dwan remarked shortly after
the picture had been completed that
Miss Eddy's character delineatiOn
was the most finished and human
thing he had ever seen in pictures.
Disappointed in love, Joan strug-
giles with her troubles, ever grow
ing better and ever becoming the
wonderful woman who is the marvel
Of the village. AS the girl sweetheart
and later the mother, she always
maintains that womanly attitude Of
human nature that makes an audi
ence laugh or weep, according to the
mood Ct the artist on the screen.
1.-THE Forbidden Thing" Allan
Dwan's first production for Associat-
ed Producers, tells the story Of the
conquest by true love Of a man who
had staked his all on false-a love
engendered' by sex attraction. 1t is
laid mainly in 4 Cape Cod fishing
community. James Kirkwood heads
a large cast.

Mr.. w. H. Brrton,
County Farm Demonstration,
Rockingham, N. c.
Dear Sir:
At this time, | know of no proposition.
which holds for the farmers any hope or
prospect for success in farming in the
South, other than the cooperative market
ing movement.
Unless sufficient margin of profit can
be assured to the farmer. in the sale of
the products of his toll, then, in my opin-
ion, farming is doomed in this section
and country life must go backward in
stead of forward. AS understand it, it
is the purpose of this movement to assure
such profit to the farmer.
/ have investigated the principal and
operation of this movement sufficiently
to convince me that it is right and work.
able. | am writing you, therefore, to say
that am heartily in favor of il. and hope
to see it succeed.
Yours very truly,
