Farm Board Bans Aid
to Sugar Output Curb

The Federal Farm Board will
rot lend its active support to the
Gutierrez plan to hold down the
output of cane and beet sugar
in the United States and Cuba.
It does not follow that the hoaro
win oppose the plan or that there
is any desire to interfere with
program that would help to
bring back the price Of sugar.
The boards attitude is deter
mined by its jurisdiction. it is
explained. 1t is empowered to
deal only with domestic SURPRISES
and there is not enough sugar
produced in this country to sup
ply the United States needs. Fur
thermore, the board is encourag-
ing as q substitute for wheat
and cotton, OF which there is a
large domestic surplus, the growth
Of agricultural products which
are at present imported. Tt Is
thought that some sugar might
be grown on land formerly de.
voted to wheat and cotton. The
tariff Is designed to take care
of the differences in the cost of
production between the United
states and foreign sugar.

First Concrete Poured
by New Orleans Priast2

Toward the end of the Nineteenth
century a French gardener made
basins by pouring concrete around
a network of iron rods, and until
very recently that gardener had
been credited with having originat-
ed the idea of reinforced concrete.
Not until the summer of 1923 was
the claim disputed. Then it was
discovered that in 1853 a jesuit
priest of New Orleans had antici-
pated him. A church on Baronne
street, built in that year, was de-
molished. 1t had been erected on
land reclaimed from cypress
swamp; and when it was torn down
the construction of its foundation
walls stood bare.
The priest, acting as his own
architect, had poured a concrete of
crushed oyster shells and bricks
around strong iron bars, running
from top to bottom of the walls,
and held in place with wrought
iron hoops.
No written record of it was left,
yet that idea is fundamental to the
modern skyscraper.-Silas Bent in

Moons Light Believed
to Affect Mentality

There seems to be a very gener-
ally accepted belief that the moon
exerts very potent influence upon
the mentality of some persons.
Writing in the British Medical
Journal, DR.. L. Gerald Stanley says
that the colossal upheaval of the
waters of the earth-the tides
suggests terrifying possibilities of
the moons effect on the actions of
humans.
Men in Central Africa declare
they have suffered from headaches
as result of mOOnshine, and some
make a practice of wearing a pitch
helmet when going out at night.
In the Middle East exposure to
the rays of the moon is said to
cause nightmare as we'll as head
aches, and in the Far East morn
ing 'thick head is added to these
symptoms. In Burma there is
belief that when the insane suffer
from mental storms these cOrre-
spond to the various phases of the
moon.

Omission or Usage of
Comma Highly Important

A jury in New Jersey chat heard
the evidence against two men ac-
cused of murder returned verdict
finding one guilty of murder in the
first degree, and the other guilty of
murder in the second degree with
a recommendation of lenieney. A
comma separated the two findings,
and this was held by another court
to prevent the recommendation for
mercy from applying to the first de-
gree finding, though the attorney
for the killer insisted that a semi
colon should have been used if that
were the jury's intention,
Commas are, therefore. seen TO
be important whether used or
omitted. 1t is a curious situation
when courts are called on to decide
the meaning of a contract drawn,
or at least revised, by an attorney,
especially such a contract as an
insurance policy which may control
the distribution of thousands of
dollars.

5-Exercise regularly TO rebuild

Early Street Lighting

Some form of artificial light must
have been in use for domestic pur-
poses from the very earliest Times,
but though large cities and q high
state of civilization existed among
the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans,
the systematic lighting of streets
was unknown to them. From the
writings of Libanius, however, who
lived in the beginning of the Fourth
century after Christ, we may con-
clude that the streets of his native
city, Antioch, were lighted by
lamps, and Edessa, in. Syria, was
similarly illuminated about A. ID.
800. OF modern cities Paris was
the first to light its streets. In
the beginning Of the Sixteenth CEN
tury it was much infested with rob
bers and incendiaries, so that the
Inhabitants were ordered In 1924 TO
keep lights burning after nine
o'clock in the evening before all
houses fronting q street,

Literary Gems in Heap

When the late Sir Edmund GOsse,
whose valuable collection Of Eng

was so well known among scholars,
once was searching the shelves Of
a Soho bookshOp he found stack
Of old plays, Of which the book
seller was anxious to get rid.
"There were" said Gosse, "treas-
ures lying in that ignominious
heap, and if / had only had in my
pocket what a single one of those
plays would fetch today, ] might
have got off laden with spoil.
There were things lying there, in

Operas

Groves Dictionary of Music
gives the following information
concerning the difference between
certain types of opera: Comic
opera-a term used indiscrimin-
ately to denote a musico-dramatic
work of an amusing nature. 1t is
not the English equivalent to the
French opera-comique, for that
term includes works into which Sc
robustness and even tragedy may
enter; the type is rather the opera
bouffe. Light opera is term
often employed for works in which
sentiment counts for more than
high spirits, although the latter is
not necessarily absent. Grand
opera is an opera with continuous
music and of serious nature.

National Forests Popular

Several million every year take
advantage of the recreational ia
cilities offered by the national for

oped by the forest service in ac-
cord with the policy of making
these properties of the people
serve them to the best advantage.
Through trails and roads the for
ests are made accessible, says the
Forestry Almanac. Within them
there are many lakes and brooks,

What, Ever?

Here you are, then" wrote
Oliver Wendell Holmes, on the sub
ject of rowing, in the year 1853,
there you are, then, afloat with

to call them, stretching more than
twenty feet from tip to tip, every
volition of yours extending as per-
fectly into them as if your spinal
cord ran down the center of your
boat, and the nerves Of your arms
tingled as far as the broad blades
Of your oars.
