some wonderful things in the field

Woolley, working at Ur of the Chai-
dees, for instance had his attention
called to the presence of two small
and cleanly cut holes in the ground
which were so very much alike that
he thought they, might mean some
thing. So the work of excavation in
that particular spot was halted while
a thin mixture of plaster of paris
was made and this was poured into
the holes and allowed to set. When
the cast was finally uncovered 1t was
found that they had secured the lines
of a Sumerian harp which had been
shaped of wood which had long since
decayed and disappeared. The cast
was perfect in all its details and COM
prised a valuable specimen.

"Ornery" Long Employed
To Express Contempt

"0rnery" and "onerN. are corrupted
forms of Ordinary" They are dialect
or eolloquial terms meaning insignif-
cant, low, mean, contemplate, and
they express a higher degree of con-
tempt and disapprobation than "ordi-
nary" does "0rnary" as eontrac-
tion of "ordinary" was a common pro-
vineialisM in 1aglass in the time 4
the Stuarts, although \ is now nearly
obsolete We find the phrase 'uppon
ornarie time," IN the Easthampton rec
ords as late as 1879. In Ireland and
the United States this form persists In
the still more corrupted forms or .orn-
cry" and "onery.' which were brought
to the American colonies and perpet-
uated largely by Irish and Seotch-Irish
immigrants who settled in the South
and West. This explains the fact that
"ornery" and "onery' are generally re-
garded as southerisms or westernisms.
In 1880 the New York Constellation
published the following as a. southern
expression: you ornery fellow Do
you pretend to call me to account for

NEED OF PHOSPHATE

Experiments conducted by the
Great Western Sugar company, dur
ing the last two years with the aid
of farmers have demonstrated that
the soil of nine out of every 10 farms
in the Billings factory district is SER
iously lacking in phosphate and that
by the application of phosphate fer
tilizer to deficient fields, the yields
of sugar beets will be materially in
creased, depending upon the extent
of depletion of the element.
On 10 farms, widely distributed,
where the company carried on the
most complete tests, the average in
crease in production was slightly
more than three tons to the acre over
untreated acres. Two farms in Car

The germ of the idea Of the sun
never setting on the dominions of a
particular ruler Is found in Herodotus,
Book VII, Chapter S. The boast was a
common one. with the Spaniards in the
Sixteenth and Seventeenth centdries
end is frequently alluded to In the lit
erature of other countries. It does not
seem to be recorded who first used the
expression the sun never sets upon the
British empire, John Wilson, who
wrote under the pen name of Chris
topher North (17S6-1S54), in his Noctes
Ambrosianae. No. 20, April, 1929, says,
"His majesty's dominons on which the

the first use of the expression in Eng

Lessening Aversion to
Formal Music Lessons

Children's aversion to music lessons,
entaillng long hours of practice for
many months, can be overcome by
making them familiar at an early age
with musical toys according to Frank
II. Richardson. NJ. D.. In Woman's
Home Companion.
MANY families have found the ap-
proaeh to real appreciation and love
Of music is made easier by having the
simpler musical instruments around
where they can be picked up and
played casually even before formal
lessons have begun says Doctor Rich
ardson. "Such simple things as the
fife. flageolet and piecolo the banjo,
mandolin or even the humble ukulele;
the xylophone or bells will often tempt
not only the child but also the gueA
in the home
'Improyised Ensembles prove de-
lightful ways of teaching children
good-fellowship and freeing them from
the embarrassment SO oyerpowering
in children whose only contact with
strangers has been formal.
"Many a child who would have been
repealed at first by the technical diff
culties Of the violin or piano, has
come happily to these more difficult
musical instruments by way of their
humber and more easily mastered
brothers in the musical family"

FIREMAN, SAVE MY BARN.

The firemen of a number of Pen
nsylvania towns have told the farm :
ers Of the surrounding country dis
tricts that if they want their barns or
homes saved from the flames, there
must be adequate water supply. Rural
property owners are being advised to
dam small streams or blast ponds to
hold water for use in quenching pos
sible fires. Lacking the required wa
ter, only such property as may be
protected by chemical apparatus can
be saved. AS result of the warning
numbers of farmers are using dyn-
amite to deepen streams at spots or
are using the explosive to create
small reservoirs. tt is further point
ed out that the artificial ponds should
be as near as possible to farm build
ings, in order not to require more
hose than is ordinarily carried by the
fire pumps" of the departments.

The survey recommends that feeding
for game birds may be provided by
making low hutehes or wigwamlike
shocks of corn or grain sheaves under
which food may be scattered. Make
the opening to the south and inspect

blocked with snow. When pruning
trees, food may be supplied for some

WILL UNCLE SAM
DIG ANOTHER CANAL?

Whether or not Uncle Sam will dig
another canal connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans and whether the
Panama canal has the capacity to
take care of commerce between the
two oceans for the next generation
are questions which will soon occupy
the public mind again. The solution
of the questions will be left in large
measure to the judgment of the I'm
tied States army engineers who are
preparing to go over the proposed
Nicaragua routes carefully and thor
oughly. 1t an interesting story in
the current issue of the National Re
public telling of this proposed sur
vey, Mr.. Oliver Mckee, Jr., says:
Army engineers have taken over
another big peace time assignment.
By orders Of the Secretary Of War, a
special battalion of engineers has
been ordered and sent to Nicaragua
to begin survey that may we'll prove
to be the first step toward the build
ing by the United States of a second
Isthmian canal. Under the treaty
with Nicaragua we have that right
and the present survey will give to
Congress and President Hoover the
data upon which may we'll depend the
ultimate decision. whether or not the
United States will build another can
al connecting the Atlantic and the
Pacific oceans.
THE personnel of the battalion is
hand-pieked one. 1t will contain some
OF the ablest engineer officers in the
army, and some of the most exper-
fenced enlisted men. The personnel
will come from three of the best
known engineer units in the army;
the First Engineers, the Twenty
ninth Engineers and the Eleventh
Engineers. The First Engineers is a
regiment that distinguished itself at
Cantigny, the Aisne e-Marne, Montdi-
der Noyon the Meuse Argonne, and
at st. Mihiel. The Twenty-ninth En-
gineers is a Typographical, or map
making, battalion, and during the war
made name for itself in the Toul
sector in France. The Eleventh En-
gineers is now at Panama. 1t was
organized in the Isthmus in 1920, and
its officers and men have gained
much experience in overcoming the
many obstacles that the tropics pre-
sent to the surveyor.
"The unit will be specially equipped
for this difficult assignment Two
years or more will be required before
the battilion completes its task, and |
for these two years, officers and men
will have to brave the terrors Of
tropical wilderness. Camps will have
to be made far away from the COM
forts and the conveniences of civili-
zation. Expert army officers, with
the knowledge gained by Gorgas and
other conquerers of the tropics at
their disposal, will be there to look
after their health, fighting the germs
IF disease wherever they threaten

Uncle Sam will do everything in his
bower to keep these engineers fit, and
% return them back to the United
States in as good a shape. as they
we're when they sailed for Nicaragua

Talking the matter over with
several night club managers, I've
found that this new interest
people are taking in food is uni
versal in the night-club life Of
New York. Managers who once
spent far more for their show are
now dividing the budget eVally
between good food and good
show. And the music is chang

but white. That's that! While, Of
