Many people who haven't yet taken

larity. The following quotation. from
recent book by Ellis O. Jones, gives
some OF the reasons for this great popu-
Iarity in very apt and pleasing way:
No game has so many elements OF
attractiveness II Is a highly complex
combination OF luck. skin and intelli-
genee. bringing into play every known
mental faculty. and is thus positively
valuable in Undertaking as well as a
mere escape from ennui. Suitable for

hundred or four thousand, IL is sociable
to the highest degree. Being game OF
partners and requiring cooperation and
teamwork, Il Is social in its cultural
properties as well as sociablc, while. at
the same time. the pivoting and keep.
ing OF individual scores leave plenty Of
room for each players individuality. II
may be played for a stake of any size
and thus provide continuous thrills for
the most tempestaous gambler, but,
Unlike poker, IL is interesting when
e,ayed for no stake and thus may con-
silbute year in and year out to the
rlacidity Of the most lackadaisieal.

and suitshle1o children. its subtlciics
and possibilities approach the infinite
end tax the capacities OF the most in

OF the immense popularity OF the game,
no man or woman yet stands out as
having thoroughly and unquestionably
mastered it. There is none who hasn't
something yet TO learn about both the
bidding and the play OF the hands"

any person, and the accused is charg

''In all other cases (that is, all

DR.. j. r. HOIton Describes Methods of

described at the meeting of the Amer

LEGATIONS in the corn belt. "Corn seed
treatments" said DR.. Holbert, "have
been very effective in controlling seed
borne infections of Diplodia, Gibber-
ella and Basisporium. although there
are a number of compounds that are
effective in controlling these seeding
blight diseases, many of these COM
pounds have depressing effect on
the growth and yield of corn from
good seed. Only a very few COM
pounds have been found which effec-
lively control disease and at the same
time have no i'll effect on good seed
or, under conditions of early plant

in Ch 5-araown fer northern shin
mants Stool ton Startt, local buy
ar for Philadelphia dealers, stated
that h's total purchases amounted to
25 tons, 10 tons Of which were pur-
chased from growers in the vicinity
Of Chestertown, while the remainder
came from as far away as Centreville,
Queenstown, and Stevensville, in
Queen Anne county. These purchases
exceed all records for the Christmas
buying season according to Mr..
Startt's record. Added to the large
quantity bought in Chestertown and
buyers at Millington and Galena, it is
believed that more than go tons Of
turkeys were sold on the Christmas
markets from this section Of the Pen
insula, representing a revenue to the
growers of S67,2 200, and stamping the
turkey raising industry as one Of the
most profitable Of farm activities.
Growers have already begun arrange
ments for greatly increasing the out
put for the coming year, double the
number Of breeders having been held
over for the breeding season next
spring. A novel sight was presented
at the local postoffice last Wednesday
afternoon when between 1000 and l.
200 baby chicks We're shipped from
one Of the hatcheries by parcels post
to northern buyers who are finding

raised for early broilers.

 northern atmosphere of the ear sh
 Dr Willard J. Fisher of the Har- yard college observatory explains that the northern atmosphere is believed to be more opaque, due 10 more dust and smoke in the north ern hemisphere than in the south ern. The great land areas of the north do not form as good settling basins for clearing the air of fore. ign particles as do the great seas about the Antarctic.
 Dr. Fisher is now working on data of the lunar eclipse of 1927, when he was able to forecast the exact line across North America above which the sunlight would be bent in toward the moon. This line ran from Nova Scotia through Hudson's Bay and Alaska. He has reports showing that all thls line was cloudy, except short stretch near Hudson's Bay.
 Study of the earth's rotation is made possible because stars ordi- narily invisible in the radiance close to the moon can be seen and photographed during the eclipse These stars determine quite exact ly the moons position. For q long time the moon has appeared | irregular in its course. It was difficult to predict exactly it's po- 1 sitions. The queen of night seemed fnot to obey exactly the laws of gravitation and motion. The measuring unit which showed these apparent irregularities was the rotation of the earth.
 Recent research. through obsery- ing the stars at eclipse and as other times, Dr. Fisher says, indi- cates that the moon is behaving according to the law of gravitation and that it is the earth's rotation which is slightly uncertain.

------------------ BOWLING AND GREAT
 COMEDY AT COLISEUM


 Bowlers of Juneau, and there are many, will do well to go to the Coliseum and see the cham pion strut his stuff in the Pathe Sportlife. He calls his balls then knocks them down and every thing. This is little feature in itself
 Two Arabian Knights will please the men. women and child ren, war veterans and families. It is strictly speaking a brand new comedy with all brand new stuff in 1t.
 Here is a film production on a lavish scale which makes the seri- ous part of the war secondary passing its plot almost exclusively on those humorous incidents that doughboys of IS will remember so well. There must have been many of them in the Coliseum judging from the hearty laughter that punctuated the seemingly constant ripple Of mirth.
 The plot deals with two sol. diers, a sergeant and private, who find themselves helpless in Arabia at the close of the war. after they have escaped from a prison camp in Arab garb.
 William Boyd's smile and twink. ling eyes give the proper devil may-care" attitude to the star, who plays his first comedy drama after a series of big dramatic successes
