PECULIAR MAY DAY SPORTS
Diversions in "Merrie England" That
Went Out With the Rise Of
Puritanieal Ideas.

In London in olden times the Chin
ney sweeps had May day celebra-
ton of their own. They gathered in
small bands, Enthusiastically dressed,
usually with woman smartly dressed
and glittering with spangles. One
strange figure in the group, man
concealed In a frame of herbs and
flowers, called Jack in the Green"
All these persons strOlled the streets,
stopping to dance to the tune of a
fife and a drum and collect pennies
from the Onlookers. This chimney
sweep observance Of the day was the
last of the May day celebrations of
the sort in England.
AS part Of the old English cele-
bration of May day there was dis
tinct set of sports meant to repre-
sent the adventures of the legendary
Robin Hood and known as the Robin
Hood games" Most Of the charac-
tiers mentioned in the Robin Hood
legend were portrayed in these games
and there were archery and quarter
staff contests.
In Puritan times in England, May
poles were uproOted and the May
day customs came into disuse.

Washington, May 81. - Operators
of all producing mines in the btu
minous fields, both union and non
union, had been invited to attend the
coference called by Secretary Hoover
here today to consider means of pre-
venting an advance in the price of
coal during the strike. The confer
ence follows a preliminary meeting
of operators held here at the request
of President Harding about two
weeks ago, and it will consider spe-
officially a plan of coal distribution
through cooperative committees,
representing both the producing and
purchasing elements, which was ap-
proved a tthe first meeting as a
means of keeping prices at reason
able level.
Although the suggestion was APP
proved at the preliminary conference
that the price level established by
Fuel Administrator Garfield during
the war be adopted as the basis to
be adhered to during the strike pc
riod, it was declared last night by
representative sof retail dealers as
sociations that the operators here for
today's conference had agreed at an
informal meeting yesterday on a
price program calling for minimum
of So ton at the mines. 1t was de-
clared that a delegation headed by
l.. w. Ferguson, president of the
Chicago Coal Merchants association
would present to Secretary Hoover
today a formal protest against any
such price program being adopted OF
receiving official approval.
1t was declared by the retailers
that for much of the tonnage now
contracted for this price would mean

ass diuou. e several representative

aJor ,yners to appoint these men as
agricultural committee to try to
alit this work over in the county.
Messrs. Traxler and Hiatt called
meeting of this committee at st. Au
gustine last Wednesday. .
The plan adopted by the commit
tee, while it was felt to be rather
broad, was formulated as a program
to be worked to, no part to be pushed
until the time seemed proper to in
troduce it. 1t follows:
Program for the agricultural de-
velopment of st. Johns county:
Arranged with view of utilizing
the county's natural resources in the
development of safe system which
will bring happiness and prosperity
to the farmers of st. Johns county"
Realizing that the one-crop system
of farming does not bring continued
prosperity or tend toward develop
ment of permanent agriculture, we,
the agricultural committee of St.
Johns county, recommend that not
over rs per cent of the cultivated
area on any farm be planted to Irish
potatoes.
That staple crops, including le-
gumes, such as velvet beans and
cowpeas and permanent pastures be
included in a systematic crop rota-
| ton.
That intensive rather than extern
sive production of Irish potatoes be
practiced.
That, in order to provide a cash
income throughout the year (where
practicable), each farm should carry
one good dairy cow for each ten acres
in the farm; one good brood sow for
each COW or fraction thereof, and at
least 100 good hens.
Cash income from the dairy cows
to be derived from selling sour
cream, for which there is now a
market, the skim milk to be fed to
the calves, pigs and poultry on the
farm.
That provision be made on every
farm for a suitable home garden and
orchard, to at least supply the needs
of the family throughout the year.
That farmers organizations be
perfected for the purpose of serving
the farmer as a means of co-operat-
ing in purchasing supplies, in eco
nomic production and in standardiz-
ing and marketing their products.
That efficient and economical high
ways be provided reaching every
part of the county.
That programs for the exhibiting
of county grown products be ar
ranged for the purpose of encourag-
ing our farmers to greater produc-
ton of varieties, better quality and
better standardizing of crops and
products, and to create friendly RI
valry in exhibiting them.
We heartily endorse the Girls and
Boys club work and recommend
that programs of work be arranged
to allow and encourage greater num-
bers of children to take advantage
of the opportunities offered in this
work.

Building the Aerial.
By Frank L. Solar
Instructor of Manual Training
Detroit High Schools.

The first thing to be considered when
installing a receiving radio set is the
aerial. While it is possible to use the bed
springs, an caves trough, or most any
metal railing, an especially erected aerial
is the most satisfactory.
1t may be pu5 up indoors and the wires
stretched across the ceiling of the attic
or any other room where it is convenient.
Some aerials L have seen have been
strung from the picture molding on one
side of a room to the mOlding on the other
side. Two coat hangers, one hung at each
molding, make good ''stretchers."
If you wish to put an aerial up out-ot-
doors. however, bear in mind that the
higher from the ground and the longer
the antenna (the wires stretched between
the masts) the more satisfactory the re
suits. Excellent results may be obtained
from an aerial 10 to $50 feet in length
placed from 80 to 80 feet above the
ground. The antenna should be allowed
