40 CENTS FOR CHERRIES

Miss "A. r. Knaub, of Vernita. has
begun the harvesting Of her cherry
crop. She expects to have in the
neighborhood of 400O pounds. Due
to the spring freeze, the cherry crop
in the northwest is very short and
the cherries are commanding an un-
usually high price. Miss Knaub says
she received 40 cents a pound for her
first shipment and that she expects
to market the whole crop at better
price than has been usual in former
years.

Enough OF Hysteria"

a somewhat different viewpoint.
Enough of hysteria," is Liberties
caption over its leading editorial
which severely criticizes the French
press campaign in favor of the two
condemned men. THE campaign in
favor of Sacco and Vanzetti by the
French press of the extreme left
has been simply abominable. says
the editorial, declaring that average
Frenchman simply shrugged his
shoulders before this excess of furi-
Gus pity"
Are there no laws In our code to
punish such Indictment to murder.

deputies? asked the paper refer
ring to recent editorials in the COM
munist organ Humanite, written by
the parliamentarian VaillantCou-
turier and Marcel Cachin.
THE Sacco-Vanzetti affair Is per-
haps unfortunate for America" the
paper concludes. I'VE assure you
it is equally unfortunate for France.
When one seeks alliances, when one
wishes credit, when one desires
peace, one ought not to exhibit cries
of hysteria in the face of the entire

In the lower half OF the draw,
George Lott of Chicago, qualified for
the semi-finals by refeating John

Tilden and Rene Lacoste, French
ace, who was paired today with Dr.
Carl Fisher Of Philadelphia, both
are expected to play through the
tournament and meet in the final, if
there is no upset, in spite of reports
that either or both might default.
Lacoste completed the semi-final
bracket by taking the measure of
DR.. Fischer in two straight but
stubbornly contested sets.
Although Tilden declined to COM
nit himself as to his program to-
day. his friends understood that he
had decided to play through the
tournament. They pointed out that
the American ace would subject
himself to criticism, whatever his
motive, should he withdraw from

French rivals were involved. Critics
held the opinion that Tilden's form

BOY IS SUBJECT
OF ROTARY TALKS
Superintendent Skinner Of Boys
Club Tells Of Work

The boy is the community's great
est asset according TO members OF
the boys work committee of the
New Britain Rotary club. The COM
mittee had charge of the noon
luncheon today and Boy was the
subject under discussion.
Fred 0. Rackliffe, past president
and former chairman of the boys
work committee. was the first
speaker. Mr.. Rackliffe spoke OF the
tendency on the part of boys to
make heroes out OF men who hold
prominent positions in the commun-
ity and asked that Rotarians take a
greater interest in boys. He recon-
mended that each member, especial
ly members who have no sons Of
their own. pick out some individual
boy and take an interest in his &C
tivities. He referred to the Rotary
clubs Back to School Movement
two years ago and said the commit
tee this year expects to put on a
larger campaign Of the same kind.
Dwight Skinner, superintendent
of the New Britain Boys club, spoke
of the Rotary club baseball league.
He said the club is spending $500 a
year to give 100 local boys organ
lied baseball with what 1t can teach
them of ethics and craftsmanship
and the members should attend
more games to see what they get
for their money.
He said 1t means a lot to these
boys to pick up copy OF a local
newspaper and see their names in
box score the next night. Many Of
the boys are clipping these scores
and saving them. he said.
He spoke of the Boys club and
said It has a wide field in which to
work because it draws all its men,
bership from the ranks of the under
privileged.
In this way he explained the club
takes boys from alleys and back
streets and gives them wholesome
training and recreation in the way
they like 1t. yet keeps them from
following a road which eventually
leads to juvenile court.
One Of the big problems he said
was teaching boys to be honest ane
truthful but the club Is succeeding
in this work. If a boy breaks a
window, he goes at once to the Of
fice and reports 1t. He is told BET
ter be a little more careful next
time" Then he Is given tools and
materials and told to go ahead and

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-06-05

THIS month was called June after
Juno, the wife of Jupiter and
queen of the gods. 1t was held sacred
to her and was thought by the
Romans to be the luckiest month for
marriage. since Juno was the goddess
of marriage. The most important festl-
val in her honor, the Matronalia, was
celebrated at the Temple of Juno and
in the home during this month.
Wherever the goddess went she was
attended by her messenger, Iris, the
rainbow. who moved so quickly
through the air that she was seldom
seen, but after she had passed, the
radiant trail of her highly colored robe
was often left in the sky.
Juno is always represented as tall,
beautiful woman, wearing crown
and holding a scepter in her hand.
She is also often shown with pea
cock at her side, since this bird was
sacred to her. The story is told OF her
servant Argus, who had hundred
eyes, only few of which he closed at
a time The goddess had sent Argus
to watch over 10, who had been
changed by Juno, in fit OF jealousy,
into a white heifer. Mercury was, at
the same time, sent by Jupiter to
by telling long and wearisome stories
to Argus, who was at last lulled into
so deep a sleep that he closed all his
ewes. Mercury then seized Argus
own sword and cut off his head. Juno
was very sad at the loss of her SER
want. and. gathering up his hundred
ewes. scattered them over the tail or
the peacock.
Juno. although of a very jealous
disposition, gave ungrudglng help 10
those whom she favored. An example
of this is found in the story of Jason
and the Golden Fleece. When Jason
was a boy of 10 years his father,
Aeson. was driven from his kingdom
bv his brother. Pelias, so Jason, on
reaching manhood, resolved to aVenSe
his father. He accordingly set out Tor
the court of Pelias, but soon came TO
stream tlrat was much sWoilen py
foods Knowing no fear he was about
RI trv TO ford the stream when he saw
an old woman on the bank gazing III
despai,. at the foaming waters. Jason
was very sorry for the old woman and
offered to help her across the stream
nv taking her on his back ana, IN
snite of the swift stream and his
heavy load, succeeded in getting safe
lv across. On reaching the shore he
was much troubled to find that he had
lost one of his sandals in the stream.
Turning to bid farewell to the old
woman she was suddenly transformed
into the Goddess Juno. Jason begged
for her help and protection, which
Juno promised, but thereupon van
| ished. Jason then resumed his jour
ney in much haste and, reaching his
| native city, found Pelias in a temple
sacrificing to the gods. He pressed
| forward through the crowd until he
| stood close to Pelias, who at length
caught sight of the stranger, who
seemed anxious to speak to him.
Pelias was greatly dismayed, for he
remembered that it had been foretold
that he should be overthrown by a
