Corn and Tomatoes
Damaged by Storm

Reports sitting into the County Farm
Agents Office at Freehold Monday morn
ing, indicated that the center Of the vio-
lent storms Sunday night was in the vi
cinity OF Holmdel, Wickatunk and ex-
tending south west to Freehold. The
Hominy Hills seem to have been in the
area of least disturbance.
Considerable damage to crops was
reported turnout the county, particu-
larly to young corn and tomatoes the
plants and stalks being bent almost to
the ground. Hope was expressed that
the sun Monday would revive them
somewhat, but considerable damage is
feared. The apple crop was badly dam
aged, especially in the vicinity of Per-
rineville.
The berry crop particularly bush
berries, such as raspberry and high
black berries coming into season we're
bailey damaged, especially the ripe Der.
ries which were just ready for picking
this week. The majority of the fruits
were benefited by the storm because Of
the thinning out process of the high
winds The Adelphia area suffered the
least damage to crops from the storm.

Horses and Mules in Way

Motors take an important part IN
modern warfare, but it Is virtually nee

ice Age Nay Return

There is no way Of telling whether
the Ice age, so called, will return or
what changes in the climate will oc-
cur In the future. It is known that
the ice sheet invaded the northern
part of the United States four or Ave
times, and between these several IN
vasions there were long intervals, dur
ing which the climate was as mild as
now, and In some cases milder than
it is at present. 1t is also known that
the length of each of these inter-
glacial stages was longer than the
time which had elapsed since the ap-
pearance Of the last ice sheet From
this 1t may be inferred that it is quite
possible, at least, that another adj
vance Of the great Ice sheet may oc-
cur.

Freak Rock Sculpture
Work Of Dame Nature

On the Cornish coast of England,
Dame Nature has excelled in the art
OF the sculptor In the number Of faces
she has carved in the rock by means
OF wind and wave and weather. Every
visitor to Lands end Is taken to
certain point of vantage where can
be seen the rugged features Of Doc
tor Johnson, but In this case little
imagination is required Far better Is
the remarkable likeness of Queen vie
toria on the north coast of Cornwall.
At Redruthen steps, the Queen Eliza
beth rock rises majestically out OF. the
sands. Every motorist through the
Lake district sees the lion and the
lamb, on the summit of mountain
near Grasmere. The lion especially
looks as well carved as one Of the
Landseer lions In Trafalgar square.
Strangely enough, approaching from
the other side, two or three miles be-
yond, another rock on the same noun
tain takes precisely the same form,
and on coming closer this rock
changes to what is called "The Lady
at the Organ" This is a great rock in
the shape of an organ, at which sits
a woman with outstretched hands, as

And NOuO the Cowgirl
Is Declared a MYTH


A former state official Of Kansas
has declared that the cowgirl Of f1c-
ton and tradition is mythical crea-
ture." II he had merely talked 1t.
perhaps no one would have paid much
attention, but he has written 1t in
"Reminiscences fled In the archives of
the Kansas Historical society at To
peka. He has taken from the writ
ers of stories of the great open spaces
a prize treasure, and he has created
doubt In the minds of their readers.
Are we to believe that the splendid
creature who rode like the whirlwind
and outshot Wild Bill Hickok Is
myth? How she dashed through page

given up the job and how, when desert

Sent to Destruction
Over niagara Falls

At least three vessels have gone over
Niagara falls, says the Boston Globe
in reply to a query. The first was In
1927, when an old craft was sent over
with bear, fox, buffalo, dog and
some geese as passengers. The bear
jumped from the boat before 1t reached
the rapids, swan to the shore and was
rescued. The geese went over the
falls and came to the shore below alive,
while the other animals were not seen.
Another vessel, the Detroit that
had belonged to Commodore Perry's
feet, was started over the cataract
in the winter of 1841, but grounded
midway in the rapids and was finally
broken up by the ice.
In 1887 burning vesesl was sent
down the rapids and over the falls.
This was described as a most mag
nificent sight.

Do you know why we shake hands?
In early days man lived alone save
for his woman back in the cave He
fought the wild animals alone and
dragged home his loot alone. Men
warred on one another for the most
part. When primitive man was too
weary to fight he would drop his club
upon meeting another man In his path
and hold out his empty hand to show
that he was unarmed. And the ex-
tended hand warmed into the hand
touch, then the handshake.
Today's form says that a person
coming into a group does not offer to
shake hands. 1t is up to the members
of the group to make him welcome by
offering the hand, If they care to.

Hoists Lift Stone Horses

With modern hoisting equipment
ponderous steel beams. heavy safes
and other large objects are raised
with comparative ease, but in placing
the huge stone horses on the palace
of justice in Rome several unusual
difficulties were encountered, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. To pro-
tect the sculptures from damage.
chains were tied about the horses
feet SO that the statues could be
swung away from the walls and pre-
vent damage. The irregular shape of
the load made 1t hard to balance, and
the placing had to be done around and
through a network Of specially de-
signed scaffolding.
