WOULD ELECTRlFY N. S.
EDENTON TO NORFOLK
But Rumor Of Fast and Frequent Electric
Train Service With Coming of Super
Power Is Not Confirmed

a rumor that, with the intro
duction of Super-power at
Edenton and Elizabeth City.
the Norfolk Southern Rail
Road may electrifv its line
from Norfolk to Edenton. finds
no confirmation at Norfolk
Southern general Offices in
Norfolk. Officials of the Viz
ginia Electric G. Power Co.
deny knowledge of any such
prospect.
The rumOr probably had its origin
In the patent fact that the Nor
folk Southern stands TO lose practic-
ally all OF it's package freight aud
passenger business from EdeDton 10
Norfolk if some radical departure
from It's present service is not made.
The motor bus for the transp1rta-
ton Of passengers and the motor
truck for the transportation of
package freight are making serious
inroHds into the business of the rail
road all the way from Edenton TO
Norfolk.
Better roads and more bnSSes and
trucks will continue to take bust
ness from the railroad. The TAX
Ing over Of the United States mails
by busSes is not q remote prospect.
The government acquisition and
operation Of the Dismal Swamp
Canal between Elizabeth City and
Norfolk will alsO hurt the rail road
by cheapenlng rates OIL water borne
cargO freight.
The Norfolk Southern could re.
cover it's losing passenger and pack
age freight business by operating
swift and frequent electric service
over its tracks from Edenton t.
Norfolk and the electrificati0n CT
that stretch Of approximately ~
miles of the road Is now made prac-
able by the coming Of super-power
iuto Northeastern North Carolina.
The Norfolk Southern could then
draw It's power current from both
ends Of the line, at Norfolk and
at Elenton.
In the meantime engineers Of the
Virginia Electric & Power Co. are
wrestling with the problem of Iocst-
Ing heir new transmission line

Edenton and Hertford. Severa
routes are optional. One roui-
would bring the line: from Sutfolk
To Bdenton thru Gates County. Ar
,other w0hld follow the line of tie

routes have their advocates.

Popular Johnny Cake
Traced to ShatUnees

It has been generally claimed by
students Of words that Johnny cake"
is a corruption Of Journey cake" Ap-
parently there Is no evidence to sup
port the theory. VIII II. Lowdermilk,
in his History of Cumberland, has ad-
vanced a theory which seems to be
more plausible. A favOrite article Of
diet among the Shawnee Indians who
lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia and Ohio was a cake made Of
corn beaten as fine as the means at
command would permit. This was
mixed with water and baked on a fat
stone which had been previously heat
ed in the fire. The early hunters and
trappers In this region followed the
example Of the Indians in making
these cakes, which they called SHAW
nee cakes" after the tribe. After the
lapse Of few years Shawnee cake
was corrupted by those who did not
now its origin into Johnny cake"

Spleen in Nature of
StOrehOuse for Blood

For a long time the spleen was as
ISOLATED with an irritable temper. To-
day we hardly believe that. What we
do know Is that 1t is a muscular bag
lying on the left side Of the body,
near the upper end Of the stomach.
and that 1t sometimes engorges with
blood. and swells But the blood,
strange to say, is not ordinary blood.
The spleen seems to be q sieve, and
sifts the blood so that only one GER
tain kind OF red cOrpuscles can get
through. These cOrpuscles, which are
thought to be the ones that have been
in the body the longest time, appear
IN many cases to die in the spleen,
so that the organ has the reputation
OF being a cemetery for red cOrpuscles.
The spleen is not selfish, however
when the body needs blood the spleen
empties itself. This is the case when
exercise is taken or when there is slow
poisoning by coal gas or loss Of blood
by hemOrrhage, says Bancroft. But
when much blood is In circulation, as
when there is undue strain on the
heart, the spleen dilates and blood is
withdrawn.

Danger in BuIIfghtins

The bullf1ght is a very dangerous
fighting game, according to the best
authorities. The star Of the perform
ance Is the matador, who kills the
bull alone. Authorities give us facts
to prove that many matadOrs are
killed, and all are wounded at some
time Of their careers. The risks they
take are marvellous. They sit on chairs
before charging bulls, and at the last
moment spring from the chair and the
bull carries the chair away on his
horns. They rest their elbows on the
head Of the bull. The matador some
times attempts to leap over the bull
with the aid of long pole, but many
miscalculatiOns are made, which end
In disaster. There are even rare Oc-
casiOns when a large bull will leap
out Of the ring and gain the seats oc-
cupied by the spectators. The mata-
dor, in killing the bull, stands per
fectly still and lets the bull rush on
his sword, the bull eften taking the
matadOr up in his horns and throw
ing him into the air. Many times the
matador is caught up against the
wooden inner ring and gored to death.

A nOiseless auction is the latest
boon to mankind that has come out
Of Holland. It sounds impossible, but
the scheme is simple. Everybody
who attends the auction and wants to
bid is provided with q seat. Each
chair Is numbered, and connected
with wires to a big dial on the auc-
tioneer's platform. On the dial are
numbers representing prices from the
lowest to the highest amounts.
When the sale begins, the auction
eer describes his wares, and then calls
for bids. The hand on the dial on the
platform starts to move up the range
Of prices, and whenever any bidder
wants to drop out, he signals such by
pressing the button on his chair
When all have dropped out but one
a bell rings and a light flashes on the
dial board, and the highest bid is thus
ascertained without any noise or con
fusion.

In Tibet it is the custom Of the ma
tives when meeting friends to stick
out their tongues as a mark Of re-
spect. A peasant who would accOst
a person Of higher caste without doing
this would be regarded as grossly dis
courteous.
Another custom is the ''scarf Of
welcome" When calling upon a Tt
betan gentleman 1t is necessary to
send a servant in advance with a
white scarf which is presented to the
host, and he then presents a similar
one to the guest. The scarf the Wis
itor takes away he presents to anOth-
er official on his next visit.
Such social visits always entail tes
drinking as well, no matter what time
OF day 1t Is. Tea in Tibet is emulsi
fed with butter favored with soda
so that it Is really more like, soup thar

Old Rag Dolls More
Durable Than Pretty

In many Of the early New England
homes rag dolls were treasured heir
looms. They were Of all sizes, and at
tired In all sorts Of quaint costumes.
The only points In common were that
their faces were invariably fat, their
hands stiff and rigid and their toes
turned out in a ''west-fOOted" manner.
Sometimes they had black buttons
for eyes, but more frequently their
faces were painted with beet and fruit
juices. However, their eyes, noses
and mouths were sometimes embroid-
cred. For hair they had toupees Of
yarn or hemp or small punches Of
real hair. Their clothing was usually
Of the full-skirted variety and they
sometimes wore sunbOnnets Of the
same material as their dresses. One
doll Of this type Is said to have pleased
the daughters Of one New Hamp-
shire family for more than eighty
years, and is still In use. OF course
1t Is a little worse for wear, but II
may be made new" again simply By
recovering it's face with a new piece
