Biblical Trade Ideas
Wreck Turks Market

Istanbal, Turkey.-A widespread
return to Biblical times, when goods
were bartered and exchanged in
stead of being paid for in coin, has
had a disastrous effect on Turkeys
markets.
1t happened this way. After sew
eral years of agricultural slump, the
peasants are 10th to spend their
cash. Traders have tried to sell
them goods, which, in ordinary
times, they would be only too anx-
ious to buy.
Now, however, the peasants re
fuse to part with their cash, and the
only way they will do business is
to pay for the goods with sheep,
goats, or cattle and poultry.
The traders have been forced to
accept these terms, but when they
return to the cities, having driven
their purchase prices" for long dis
tances, the animals are in such an
emaciated condition that they only
bring low prices.

Death Penalty Imposed
on Young "MaIefactors"

The prompt reprieye for a boy
slayer of sixteen offers another con-
trast to the older and more savage
code, writes a columnist in the Man
chester (England) Guardian. In
other centuries much younger chill
dren were not only sentenced to
death but also executed for minor
ofenses. A boy of eight was hanged
In 1929 for burning two barns; "it ap-
pearing," thought the learned Judge,
that he had malice, revenge, craft,
and cunning" Michael Hammond
and his sister. aged seven and elev-
en-, were hanged at Lynn for felony
In 17OS. Even as late as 1923 a boy
of twelve and one-haIf was hanged
In Jersey. Baron Hotham SEN
fenced a child of ten to death In
1900 for secreting notes at the
Chelmsford post office, and took oc-
casion to point out the necessity
of the prosecution and the infinite
danger of its going abroad into the
world that child might commit
such crime with impunity!" But
the sentence was commuted and the
boy sent to Granada for IA years.

Cleveland's Beginning

Moses Cleaveland was never a
resident of the city of Cleveland, the
place he founded and named. He
was a solid citizen. honored and
well established in his own Connec-
ticut community. He did not mi
crate to the West, but came to the
reserve for the purpose of exploring,
surveying and laying out part of the
properties of the Connecticut Land
company. of which he was men,
Der. General Cleaveland and his
surveyors arrived at the mouth of
the Cuyahoga on July %, 1876.
About the middle of October they
left again for the East, having no
desire to be overtaken by winter
while en- route. The work was not
finished, and other surveying par
ties came out in subsequent years.

Quack Grass

The way it looks to me, after
having battled with "quack" over
a long period of years. in a small
garden patch, the stuff must have
been one of the devils masterpieces.
| can imagine the old boys shrek
Of fiendish glee when he thought of
it!-The back aches, the grim sense
of constant losing fight, the des-
perate determination to trace each
tiny rootlet and burn it. and then
to do it all over and over and
over. And to find that. after all,
each day brought a fresh supply
and there was no sign that the eff
fort put forth had counted at all.
If l could think Of words to ex-
press my opinion Of "quack grass"
Don't get excited! They would
never reach youl This poor "an-
tique" typewriter would be a mol
ten, smoking ruin I-Drat the stuff!

Locust Plapues .

The so-called seventeen-year To-
Gust is really a periodic cicada and
is not related to the locusts which
frequently plague parts of Africa
and Asia. 1t is divided into broods,
the cycles of which overlap In such
a way that a particular section may
have more than one visitation In a
period of seventeen years, while
every year is a locust year in some
parts of America. Putting 1t In 9TH

own cycle. but the cycles of differ

How Yellow Fever Was
Stamped Out in Panama

With finely meshed net, figura-
lively speaking, DR.. Walter Reed en-
shared the yellow fever injecting
mosquito in his control until it
could be truthfully claimed of his
famous camp near the present Pan
anna canal that no one developed
yellow fever except when Reed and
his staff gave their permission.
Dr. Claude Lillingston has told in
Hygeia Magazine the thrilling story
OF Reeds experiments. Men, not
laboratory animals, were the basis
Of his experimentation. After it
had been definitely settled that yell
low fever was caused by the biting
OF a mosquito, Reed experimental
further. He settled such questions
as the following: Was infected
clothing by itself capable of start
Ing the disease in a new subject?
Was infection air borne, independ-
emily of the mosquito? He learned
such interesting things as the fact
that a mosquito may still be infec-
tive rs days after feeding on a
yellow fever patient. He also dis
covered that the disease is so high
ly infectious that it may be con-
veyed to another person simply by
his skin becoming contaminated
with a patients blood.

BRITAIN CLAIMS
FASTEST PLANES
Naval Fighting Craft Have
Elaborate Equipment.

LondOn.-Britain's aircraft car
riers, Furious" and Courageous, .
now house what are claimed to be
the fastest airplane fighters Of any
of the worlds great navies.
Known as Hawker "Nimrods"
these new machines fly at 200 miles
an hour and climb to great heights
at rocket-like speed. They are re
placing obsolete craft in the deet
equipment.
Certain components in the new
planes are strengthened to with
stand the shocks imposed by the
use of catapult which can send
a machine from stationary to go
miles an hour in three seconds.
They are land planes with wheels
and no seaplane floats, but in order
to protect them against the worst
results of an emergency landing on
water, fotation bags fill the after
portion of the fuselage and flota-
tiOn boxes are placed between the
ribs and spars inside the wings.
They are fitted with more elabo-
rate navigational equipment than
their predecessors and carry wire
wireless and additional lighting
equipment for the purpose of as
sisting the pilot to find the carrier
after flight in haze or cloud.
The Nimrods are powered with
single Rolls-Royce Kestrel motors.

BAKER CHARGE WITHDRAWN
Elijah Baker Claims Auto Stolen
Which Was Found Near Store

A charge of attempting to break
and enter which had been placed
against Elijah Baker, of near FL
lendale, was withdrawn before
Justice H. B. Thaw, of Milford.
Lewis P. Fox, owner of a filling
station on the Milford cutoff chas-
ed some one away from his filling
station one night last week after
he had heard a noise around the
rear of the building. An automo-
bile said to belong to Baker was
found parked near the spot from
where the man was seen to run
after Fox had made his appear
ance. Mr.. Fox secured the num-
Der of the car and notified the
State authorities. He placed the
charge of attempting to break and
enter against Baker who was held
under bond pending an investiga-
tion. Baker stated that some one
had stolen the car from his home
on the night that the attempt was
made to enter the filling station,
and the following day Baker noti-
fed the State police to that effect.
Before the hearing Mr.. Fox with
drew the charge aaginst Baker, it
is believed, for lack of evidence.

Embalming Whales

Two whales. each 40 feet long
and weighing 90 tons, were success
fully picked by an expert of the
Natural History museum, says an
item in London Tit-Bits. The mu-
scum badly wanted a couple Of en-
balmed whales for examination, and
arrangements were made with a
Norwegian whaler to tow the next
pair of good specimens captured in
to the harbor of Aalesund. The car
casses were cleaned and then each
was packed with 80 tons of salt.
Into the veins were injected So gal
Ions Of fornalin preserving fluid.
Owing to the salt they looked just
like gigantic crystalized fruits.
They will keep for at least two
years whilst examination is conduct
ed and plaster cast for the mu-
scum made from one Of them.

ROCKETS To CARRY MAIL
FROM GERMANY TO NEW YORK
QUESTION OF MOTIVE POWER
YET TO BE DETERMINED ON
German Engineers Try Out Plan
Successfully ON Shorter Dis
tances; Now for Ocean Trial

Berlin.-The problem of develop
Ing mail rockets which will shoot a
bag of mail from Berlin to New
York is slowly being solved.
The only question remaining to
be solved is whether the rockets are
to be driven by liquid gases or by
gun powder.
The development of the rocket is
being pursued throughout Ger
many. Hardly week passes that
new experiments are not reported
from some corner of the reich.
Differ on Power.
The chief eXpOnents of the rocket
are Rudolph Nebel and Heinrich
Tiling, both engineers. Nebel main
tains that the problem Of shooting
mail from Berlin to New York can
be solved only by rockets driven
by liquid gases. AT his rocket fly
ing field, Nebel has sent gas driven
rockets several thousand feet up
wards.
Nebel's unique rocket motor con-
sists Of tiny metal chamber in
which liquified hydrogen and other
gases are mixed and ignited by an
electric spark. Control over the
rockets speed is made possible by
valves and automatic control appli-
ances attached to feed pipes.
Tiling is an advocate of the pow
er-rocket, which he claims is more
reliable. Only recently he shot
rockets equipped with parachutes
high into the skies. After reaching
the flight apex, the parachutes
opened automatically and the rock
cts descended slowly to the ground.
Tiling built rocket to resemble a
passenger carrying rocket. He
even placed miniature passengers
in 1t and then sent it up several
thousand feet.
Great Speed Seen.
Now he has announced a still
further development of his theory.
After successfully shooting one of
his power rockets 10000 feet high,
he has now constructed a giant
mail-carrying projectile which he
intends to hurl from a spot on the
German North sea coast near Ham
burg to the island of Wangeroog, a
distance of nearly five miles.
The rocket is about four feet
long and carries a powder load of
thirteen pounds which is calculated
to burn up in one and a half min
utes, in which time the rocket is to
travel the five miles Of ocean.

LIVESTOCK MARKETING
Opportunity To Consider Proposed
Organizations by Farm Bureaus

opportunity 10 COnSlder proposed
Organizations by Farm Bureaus
Announcement has been made
! by the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association that producers of Del
aware, Maryland and Virginia in
the livestock and dairy realms of
agriculture are being given an op-
portunity to consider proposed
livestock marketing organ cations
being sponsored by farm bureaus
of their respective States. The
movement is regarded as being one
of the most important projects
launched in the agricultural sec
tions of the East in recent years
and contemplates the formation of
livestock cooperative marketing
agencies to deal with the recently
created Eastern Livestock Coop
erative Marketing Association as
a selling agent. A series of six
successful meetings have been held
IN Western Maryland and a seven
tn will be staged at Annapolis on
March 8th, following which ser
les of parleys in the nine Eastern
Shore Counties of Maryland will
be held to which producers of the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula will be in
vited. Secretary Frank M. Payne,
of the Maryland Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, organizer of the move
ment in Maryland, will announce
the eastern Maryland dates. For
a long time, according to Secre-
tary Payne, it has been the ambi-
tion of organized agriculture to
set up a cooperative marketing
agency and within the last several
months the possibility of a sue
cessful agency has been shown by
similar interest on the part of pro-
ducers in Virginia, West Virginia,
New York, Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
The Eastern agency was thus in
corporated and has entered into an
agreement with Maryland and Vir-
ginia organizations to serve live
stock producers and dairymen. In
the meetings thus far held in
Maryland over 80 per cent of those
present have subscribed to stock
at one dollar a common share
which entities members to affilia-
ton with both State and Eastern
groups. Speakers at the Eastern
Shore meetings, in addition to Sec
retary Payne who has been made |
secretary of the Maryland coop |
erative, will be L. B. Mann, repre-
senting the Federal Farm Board; |
DR.. Thomas B. Symons, director of
the University of Maryland Exten-
sion Service, and j. w. Jones, /

Concerning Hairs

A German scientist has numbered
the hairs on a human head and
finds that the average brunette's
total Is 1850. Blends have about
10000 more and red heads around
10000 less. So, while a red hair is
more conspicuous on a coat collar
than one of the brunette persuasion,
there are 10000 less chances for a
red one TO find resting place and
that's a scientific fact worth taking
into consideration. - Indianapolis
