My grandmother, she writes. used to
tell about a cousin Of hers whose hus-

woman had managed to get along
somehow, but there came a day when

No one who has ever seen a tropical
sunrise will forget it; from darkness
the world bursts into light. The sun
on the Amazon usually rises without
clouds and floods everything with ra-
dance; the sunsets are sometimes
beautiful, but there are seldom clouds,
and the color effects are not as fine
as In northern climes.
The banks of the river are full Of
interest to the canoe voyager, who has
every opportunity for observation, as
one always paddles close TO the shore
Draperies of flowing vines sweep the
canoe, at times in some little bay,
where the current has no influence,
great masses of water plants are in
full bloom, bright tillandsias perch in
the branches above his head, and or
chids look out from the branches. or
many times swing in midair. Large
patches of "aninga." which looks like
a tall-stemmed, giant Gala lily, full of
the great white flowers, make beauti-
full pictures and over all Is a bright
blue sky with the cool breeze, which
from nine till four always draws up
the river.

courage The development of the

Under this stariff, eggs can be
placed on storage in the cities
named, at which there are ample
refrigeration facilities, and later
RECONSTRUCTED to wide range of
destinations at the through rate
from point of origin, Plus a
transit charge of five cents per
hundred pounds. Eggs placed on
storage under this arrangement
can also be exported through
South Atlantic aud Gulf ports to
Cuba and South American
countries i'll which there is a
large market for eggs from the
United States.
In explaining the advantages
of this arrang ement to poultry
men of the South. General Agri-
cultural Agent Roland Turner,
of the Southern, said:
This arrangement has been
put in effect to encourage dealers
and organizations of farmers att
local points to buy eggs during
the heavy laying season, assem-
BILE them in carload lots, and ship
them to the storage points where
they can be held until market

Composition of Celluloid

Celluloid is an artificial substance
made by mixing gum camphor, gun
cotton and other substances and then
subjecting them to hydraulic pressure.
A kind of celluloid was made in 1856
at Birmingham, England. but the in
vention Of ordinary celluloid is usu-
ally credited to John w. Hyatt of New
ark, N. j., who with his brother devel-
oped an important industry. The exact
process of celluloid manufacture is
a trade secret. One method is rough
ly as follows: Dry guncotton is well
washed and dried and ground fine
under water, after which the water Is
removed and the mass subjected to
great pressure. Then camphor and
coloring matter are added. Celluloid
is used as a substitute for ivory, bone,
hard rubber, coral, leather and many
other substances. 1t is not explosive,
but easily lighted and burns rapidly.

Lincoln Sales In May
Established New HIGH Record

Detroit, Mich, June IL. May
sales of sos broke all records in
the history of the Lincoln Motor
Company, division of the Ford
Motor Company.
The steadily increasing popu-
larity Of the Lincoln automobile
among discriminating BUYERS of
American quality cars never was
more strikingly shown than DUR
ing the past three months in
which retail deliveries have con-
tinued to climb to new high
records. In March, the sales set
a new mark in greatly exceeding
those of any previous month.
April sales were in excess of
March, while May, with S6S
Lincolns delivered to customers,
exceeds by 100 the high record
established in April.
All indications are that June
sales will show a decided in
crease over May.

Ancient Books Show
Surgery an Old Art

Inc practice of surgery goes back
as Tar as the time when man first
began to hurt himself or to be hurt by
others. Medicine and surgery were
nourishing In the Orient some four
centuries B. @. Accounts in ancient
DOCKS tell Of more than hundred
instruments of steel, IA varieties of
Dandages, splints made Of bamboo, the
sewing of cuts on the head and
lace; and there was even an operation
Tor remaking the nose by using a piece
OF skin of the cheek for that purpose.
so 1t would seem that the Hindu had
more thorough acquaintance with
the science than one looking back over
the faraway centuries would at first
suspect.
The figures Of patients undergoing
operations are carved on Egyptian
monuments and among the antiquities
OF that people are such instruments
as lancets, probes, knives and forceps.
In passing it may be remarked that
the latest centuries need not take
credit to themselves for the invention
Of artificial teeth, for that triumph
Of the dentists art has been found in
mummieS.
The surgical skill of the Orient
seems to have been bottled up for a
time, or, at least it was in no hurry
to cross over to Europe, where for
long period the barber was the usul
surgeon. The lives of two of Eng
lands greatest kings might have been
saved for longer usefulness had a little
wisdom been shown in their treatment
Henry died Of a malady which could
have been cured by the knife Rich
ard the Lion Hearted met his death
from wound In the shoulder caused
by an arrow which an ignorant sur
geon aggravated by twisting about In
his efforts to remove, thus inducing
blood poison.

NEAR EAST RELIEF

An appeal to all shenandoah coun.
/ ians to contribute articles of clothing
which they have cast off for the winter
| to save human lives in the Bible Lands
has been made by Mr.. Fred D. Maphis
County Chairman for the Near East
Relief. This call is supplementing the
general call to Virginians made last
week by Claude w. Hopper, of Rich
mond, State Director, for this great
humanitarian organization.
Governor E. Lee Trinkle, Honorary
State Chairman, Senator Harry F. Byrd,
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., Bishop
William Cabell Brown, Hon. G. Walter
Mapp, DIR. Harris Hart, Hill Montague,
Mrs. B. B. Munford, DR.. E. A. Alder
man, R. E. Magill and a number of
other prominent Virginians who are
members of Near East Relief State
Committee, have also supplemented
this appeal.
While no definite date for clothing
shipments in the State has been set
by Mr.. Hopper the Shenandoah County
Committee is now collecting bundles
and forwarding them TO the National
clothing warehouse of the Near Easl
Relief in New York. Mr.. Hopper has
set the States goal as 5000 lives and
this county's goal as SO.
Schools, churches, women's organi-
cations, colleges, business mems
clubs and organizations of all kinds
are aiding in this drive for cast-off
clothing. All are asked to either take
it to the place designated by Mr.. Ma
phis or ship it to the Near East Relief
Clothing Warehouse, U. S. Army Base,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mr.. Hopper and Mr.. Maphis are par
ticularly DESTROYS of receiving as many
as they can obtain of coats, trousers,
dresses, sweaters, wool gloves, nit
tens, boots and shoes, shopworn gar
ments, blankets, sheets for bandages,
new cloth or garments and any heavy
warm clothing in which there is still
some wear.
The Near East Relief cannot use
laces, silks, wells, chiffons, evening
clothes, satin slippers, muslin under
wear, high-heeled shoes, straw or
frame hats or silk stockings. If any
considerable quantity of these articles
are available it is suggested that
community sale or auction be held and
the proceeds be turned over to the
Near East Relief County Chairman or
sent to Waller Holiday, State Treas
urer, American National Bank, Rich
mond, Va.

self.AppreclatIon.

HuMor and self-criticism, 1t has
often been pointed out, go together;
sense of humor is an antidote for con-
ceit. Victor Hugo had no sense OF
humor, and the complacency with
which he looked back upon his career
arose from a conceit that was even
more colossal than his genius.
Late in life some Of his friends were
talking with him and, Of course, about
him. One said, Streets ought to be
named after him."
Another remarked. "Streetsi Paris
ought to change its name and be called
Victor Hugo"
Another added scornfnlly, "Parlsf
Paris after such a great manf No. In
deedl France ought to change its name
and the whole country be called Victor
Hugo
The great writer then lifted hts
head and, with Jsvian dignity, spoke

Airedale and Airedale Terrier

The name "Airedale" is only short.
ened form for "Airedale terrier" The
tendency now is TO drop the super
fluous word terrier" when speaking
of this dog. The Airedale terrier was
originally bred about go or 20 years
ago in the valley of the Aire, York
shire, England Hence its name. The
breed was obtained by various crosses
between the bull terrier. the border
terrier, the otter hound and other
breeds. The Airedale is one Of the
largest Of the terriers. It has pendu-
lous ears. black, tan or dark. rough
haired coat, and usually weighs from
40 to so pounds. The Airedale should
not be confused with the Irish terrier,
which Is a smaller dog somewhat re-
sembling 1t in general appearance.
