The Word "Jovial''

The word '.jovial" conceals the name
Of Jupiter, or Jove. according to the
Washington Post. A "jovial" person
is theoretically, at least. person born
under the influence Of the planet Jupi-
ter, or JOve. 1,
The planet was supposed to be the
most joyful Of all the planets to be
born under. just as Saturn is the least
joyful.
Gradually the word "jovial' became
ASSOCIATED from the. astrological sig
nificance. and was generally applied
to persons who Indicated the quality

Church Sittings Sold

In certain sections of England it is
still customary to sell by auction,
pews in the parish church. The high
est bidder secures the use of the pew
for year. On the east coast of Scot
land it was quite common 80 or 40
years ago to see an advertisement In
the local press Offering, say, one or
two bottom breadths" In such-and-
such a pew In the parish church. The
pews were freehold, and paid taxes in
the same way as freehold dwelling
house. Another reader recalls partic-
ulars Of a church pew sale which
stated that it produced so much per
ann, free of rates and taxes" and
that 1t was Sin good position" and
rent regularly paid"

Catherine Rush

Medical annals have seldom record
ed so rare case of longevity as that
Of Catherine Rush, who died in Phila-
delphia on May l, 1917, at the age of
one hundred and eleven years and
eleven months. So far is Is known
Catherine Rush had lived on the out
skirts of Philadelphia all her life, and
no one was particularly interested in
her until she reached the age of one
hundred, having been very frail girl
When she passed the one-hundred-
year mark physicians began to watch
her. They kept up their watching for
nearly twelve years. 1t was Catherine
Rush's greatest desire, when she felt
the end coming, to round out one hum
dred and twelve years. She failed of
it by one month.-Chicago Journal.

SWEEPING CHANGES IN
STUDEBAKER

The big news of the week in the
automobile world is Studebaker's an
nouncement of new models.
There are Is entirely new Stude-
baker models, and each model is a
comlpete refinement of the previous
line. The designs are new some
thing never before seen on an Ameri-
can automobile. Studebaker has
again pioneered in distinctive vehicle
building.
Motorists are now offered by
Studebaker the following new line:
An entirely new type of open ami
closed car, new medium weight
six, a new 4-passenger closed car,
optional 4-wheel brakes Of remark
able design, genuine ballon tires
Is original and distinctive new
bodies.
A creation originated by Stude-
baker, which, it is believed, will
isupersede the present day open car
is the new Duplex body. This new
Studebaker is an open car which can
<be converted magically in five sec
onds into waterproof, snug and dry
closed car of surprising beauty
This new Duplex Studebaker body
is an outstanding sensation.
Studebaker announces an entirely
new Standard Six which takes the
place of the former Light Six and
while it follows mechanically the
general design of that car it has a
new and larger motor, the entire car
is larger, heavier and much more
beautiful and has much more room.
OF course the new duplex body
entirely supersedes the former open
touring car and open roadster
bodies, not only in the new Standard
Six but in the other two models, the
Special Six and the Big Six.
The new duplex body on the
Standard Six at the announced price
of $1145 for the five-passenger
phaeton and $1,125 for the three
passenger roadster marks a real
opportunity for the buyer who likes
an open car and also the comfort
and protection Of closed car.
Studebaker claims that it can satisfy
both demands and at the price of
the open car.

MARYLAND AND DELAWARE
HAY CROPS

Farmers of Maryland and Della
ware may hang up new high records
for hay production this season, says
John S. Dennee, federal crop statis-
tician at Baltimore, who bases his
opinion on September l farm reports
to the United States Department. of
Agriculture. If the present crop
outlook will be realized, and it will
be. he says, allowing for average
variations from now till the hay is
finally gathered, a crop of about
$4,000 tons will go into the barns
Of Maryland. This big total has
never been exceeded since the De-
partment began to keep records OF
hay production in Maryland, he adds.
Average production Of the past five
wears is $4,000 tons. During the
season 1923 only 100000 tons were
made. The growing season this
year was distinctly favorable most
of the time to haylands and
meadows. Many farms report bum
per yields. Condition September l
in Maryland was given as high as
ITO per cent of a normal.
Delaware's forecast is $4,000
tons against $4,000 harvested in
1928, and $4,000 tons, the average
for the past five years-an increase
of about SO per cent over 1928 crop.
Production Of hay most every
where the country over was favored
by the spring weather. and crop OF
8S,454,000 tons is estimated. for the
United States. 1t has been exceed
ed only three times.

Famous Pleasure Spot
of English Monarchs

Many kings have done their part to
make Hampton court what 1t is today,
asserts writer In John O'Londons
Weekly. Wolsey began it all, and 1t
is interesting to learn that when he
walked in his park he liked to be left
to his meditations. He would allow
no servant to come near him; his or
der was that they should keep as far
from him "as one might shoot an ar
row." When Henry came into pos
session he at once extended the gar
dens, planted quickest hedges, and
bought apple and pear saplings.
Hentzner described the gardens in.
Elizabeth's reign as most pleasant"
adding that he saw rosemary, so
planted and nailed to the walls as to
cover them entirely, which is a meth
cd exceedingly common In England"
Charles formed lakes Charles II
planted re-than two hundred elms
and as many lime trees. William III
in his turn, brought in the note of
Dutch formality with yew, box, and
holly sculptured into bird and animal
shapes or arranged to represent his
royal initials; he formed rectilinear
canals and did strange things with
terrace and balcony, and fountains
better designed (said Horace Wal
pole) ito wet the unwary than to re-
fresh the painting spectator" Hap
PLY. nearly everything he did was
afterward undone.

Do Ducks Swin With Wings?

Do ducks use their wings while
swimming under water? The question
is discussed frequently among spirits
men and nature students, and opin.
ions sometimes differ. Testimony OF
reliable authorities supports the belief
that various species of ducks and
grebes, looms and other diving birds
do not use their wings when swim
ming beneath the surface for food or
in trying to escape capture, says Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. A rudd.
duck was observed on Lake Michigan
not long ago feeding in Is, or 20 fee
of clear water. AS it got we'll started
on its downward plunge, the wings
about two-thirds extended, were used
in quick, short strokes, at the rate
of about one second, to assist in pro.
polling it and in rising to the top as
well.
