Great African Lake

Lake Nyasa, which covers about
one-fourth Of the protectorate's entire
area, is the third in size Of the great
lakes Of central Africa. It is $40 miles
long and its greatest width, which &C.
ours at the center, is 45 miles. The
total area Of the lake has been esti-
mated at 1000 square miles. Its wa
tiers are carried into the Zambesi via
the River Shire. Nyasaland and its
great lake were only vaguely known
until 1859 when David Livingstone
and the German traveller, Albrecht
Roscher, explored it simultaneously,
Livingstone from the south and Rosch-
er from the east. Since that time It
has been the scene Of civilizing work
on the part Of missionaries and gov
eminent officials.

Restoring Old Paintings

Old paintings can be restored by an
amateur by the careful use Of spike
oil Of lavender, a solvent, the value
of which for this work is not widely
known, even among those who claim
to be expert restorers. The oil should
be rubbed on lightly with the fingers
or with pad. 1t will be found that
1t dissolves the varnish that has ac-
cumulated on the surface Of the. paint
ing and releases the dirt. This oil
was used by some old masters as a
vehicle for pigment before linseed oil
was adopted generally for this pur-
pose. We would strongly advise,
however, that If possible you should
take the painting to an expert, to
avoid the chance Of accident due to
inexperience.

Early Magazines"

While our Colonial ancestors had no
sensational newspapers and magazines
to entertain them with tales of adj
venture and misadventure, in many Of
the small printing shops Of the Col
onies there were printed books and
pamphlets containing the exciting and
often lurid details Of the trials Of
pirates, the hangings Of criminals,
the struggles Of the righteous with
evil, the conversion Of the evil to re-
ligion, the sinister designs Of the op-
posite sex, the dangers Of drink, and
also of abstinence.

Church Communion

The Encyclopedia Of Church His
tory" defines open communion as the
service of the holy communion Of
saints, which is open to all who ap-
ply, irrespective Of creed. In close
communion the service is confined to
the members Of single society, or
at least to the members of denomi-
nation who are baptized. By COM
munion Of place is meant the admin
istration of the sacrament in a con-
secrated building. 1t also refers to the
retention of the host.

Old English Expression

A nine-day wonder is something
that holds attention for a few days
and then is forgotten. The expression
is very old in England. 1t was used
by Shakespeare. It is thought to be
based on the old proverb, Wonder
lasts nine days and then the puppy's
eyes are opened" referring to the
fact that dogs are born blind and their
eyes do not open for about nine days.

RETICENCE OF EVENING

Keller, Virginia
(Republished by request)
In the reticence of evening,
While scaling the top of the
stalwart pine,
One cannot help but ponder,
Ger the ravages of time.
Do the friends of yesterday,
Think of one as one does of
them?
Would they stop along the way,
If perchance one should need
a friend?
Pray if / am able to befriend
My friend of the yester-year,
May lend a helping hand,
That / may not shed a tear
In the reticence of evening

Exactness Carried to ny
Extremes by Japanese

The Japanese people are great imita-
tors. A certain Frenchman, visiting
in Japan, had his dress suit ruined by
a mishap on the part Of a waiter at
a dinner. What was to be done?
They advised the European to order
another dress suit from japanese
tailor, giving the suit that had been
ruined as a model.
"Your suit will be exactly repro
duced," they told him. "You will not
even have to try it on"
At the end Of some days the jap
anese tailor brought the finished work.
'This grease stain has given me q
great deal of trouble to reproduce"
said he, "and that 10 why must
charge you a trif1a higher than what
I usually ask"
There the stain was on the new
suit, exactly like the original stain
on the ruined suit.-Pathfnder Maya

SANITARY CODE
PLANNED FOR
MD. COUNTY

BETHESDA, Md, Feb. 25.-A
tentative draft of a new health
code for Montgomery county was
submitted last night to the com.
mittee on sanitation and public
health Of the Montgomery county
civic federation by Joseph C. Cts.
Sci, county attorney.
The draft was presented at q
meeting Of the committee held in
the county building here.
At present Montgomery county
has no health code applying only
to the county, but operates under
the Maryland State code, which is
applicable alike to rural and built,
up districts.
Planned for Year
The draft considered last night
was the result Of resolution
passed a year ago by the fedora.
ton, directing its sanitation Com.
mittee to formulate set of regu-
lations. A subcommittee consist
ing Of DR.. William T. Pratt, county
health officer, and CiSSell, was ap-
pointed to draw up the proposed
regulations.
CiSSel'S proposals cover exhaus-
lively virtually every contingency
which might arise in the county.
Divides County
The draft would divide the
county into three districts, the
first to include all territory in
the Washington suburban sani-
tary district outside of incorpor-
Ated areas: the second the terri
tory inside incorporated areas in
the same district; and all the ter
ritory outside the Washington
sanitary district in the third. This
latter territory would embrace all
agricultural sections Of the
county. -
This code also would provide
for establishment of a division of
meat inspection for the county
health department, and would
give the division supervision over
livestock, slaughtering and dis
tribution of meat in the county.
Inspect Diaries
Another section would govern
the distribution of milk in the
county. This would take in su-
pervision of herds. barns, drivers,
and would authorize the county
health officer to inspect dairy
farms and issue permits for milk
distribution only to those farms
which complied with its require
mentS.

Safe, Says Legge

the price slump is not checked, the
Federal farm board is making no
attempt to maintain prices, Chair-
mar A. H. Legge indicated today.
The board, he said. is solely con-

Of grain co-operatives from loss in

The study will be on a strictly
scientific basis and wholly dis

$25, 900 was to be asked Of the
League for carrying out the task.
In the resolution as adopted
the cooperation of all national
organizations in all countries,
such as research institutions and

pointing to a strong possibility
that President Hoover's commits
