Three-Minute Journeys
By Temple Manning

for some time there is much
that is old that will be new to
your eyes.
Fountains of Rome
The towers and the palaces of
Rome, marvellous as they are, do
not seem to be as distinctive as
the fountains of Rome. These
constitute a most decorative en-
semble which may be dated by
centuries, beginning from 1900.
In the Piazzetta Mattel is the
dainty Fountain of the Tortoises
by Della Porta. On the Janlcu-
lum, whence such an impressive
view of Rome is obtained, there
is the grand Fountain of Acqua
Pola.
Many an around-the-world
traveller abiding faithfully by
a stern itinerary, has lost all
desire to continue on his way
after Steaming past Java Head
into the lovely island of Java,
most beautiful of all the Dutch
Indies. And no wonder, for
here is a paradise on earth
without many of the drawbacks.
that spoil other earthly EdenS.
For where the Dutch are in
command there is orderliness
and complete sanitation and
everything is as comfortable as
can be. And so, even when
one comes to Batavia, sticky
and crowded though it may
be, one realizes that here is
something different. There is
life and color and the gay
natives are brilliantly CARRIED.
No two silk sarongs seem to
be alike. each is adorned with
marvellous batik work, con-
trasting in color with the
Sarong.
A Bit of Holland
The upper town above Bata-
via, Weltvreden, is simply love-
ly. Imagine a bit of Holland
set in a tropical scene that is
almost fantastic. There are adj
ministrative buildings, clubs,
theaterS, cafes, de luxe hotels.
consulates, all with cream walls
and red tiled roofs, shining
through glorious flowers and
the rich foliage Of palm, tama-
rind end banyan trees. All the
Europeans live in ample bunga-
lows with fine gardens and
there is always plenty of gaiety
and a busy social program. But
let's start to climb the table
land that runs through Java,
thousands of feet above sea
level.
Here are the real Javanese
cities, with a climate that is
never uncomfortably warm, and
always deliciously cool after
shutdown. There are cities at an
elevation of 5000 feet and many
of these are the recreation re-
sorts such as Bultenzog, with its
matchless gardens, gay Bando-
eng and popular Garoet.
Bandoeng is especially fasci-
mating, one Of the most delight
full cities in the Orient.

Amazing Tale

Fresh word comes from
Washington that officials Of
the Department of Justice are
confident that the Lindbergh
kidnapping mystery will event.
ually be solved.
Something rather mysterious
is going on. It was only a
little while ago that Jack Bilbo.
once the right hand man Of
Scarface AL Capone, when Ca
pone was King Of Gangland
out in Chicago, told an amaz-
ing story to the German news
papers. Mr.. Bilbo, who left his
country for his country's good,
asserted that Capone sent his
own gunner to get the kid
napers of the Lindbergh baby.
Capone's wolves ran down one
of the two kidnapers, tortured
him into a confession, murdered
him and dumped his body into
the river. Then they took up
the trail of the second kidnaper
who murdered the child and
killed himself rather than sub
NIT to the inevitable torture.
An incredible yarn, one would
think, but there it is. In the
meantime Mr.. Capone, a con-
vict in the Federal Prison at
Atlanta, Ca, under an 11-year
sentence for income tax law eva
sion, has developed into a model
prisoner.
Despite his wealth-and the
belief is that AL Capone could
lay his hands on at least three
million today-he receives no ia.
vors whatever, and tolls a fun
eight hours every day in the
prison shoe factory. He eats
the regular prison fare, served
in the long mess hall of the At
lanta institution, and is permit
ted to spend only $40 month
for luxuries, mostly cigarettes.

Some people take themselves

They may have achieved

When Congress reconvenes
the first week Of the new year,
the House Committee on Ways

Representative Doughton Of

the North American continent and
throughout the world Is now little
more than ten years old, the first
hook-up having been made January
4, 1928, when stations WEAF then
owned by the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company and WNAC of
the Shepherds Stores in Boston were
connected by telephone lines so that
both might broadcast simultaneously
the program which was being given in
the WEAF studios.
So successful was the broadcast on
this joint hook-up that on June Z, four
stations were connected by telephone
wire to broadcast program for the
National Electric Light Association.
The late President Coolidge delivered
his opening message to Congress De.
cember 6, 1928, over a lookup Of six
stations connecting Washington, New
York, Providence, st. Louis, Kansas
City and Dallas.
To serve the broadcasting transmits
sion of the various stations through
out the country, the Bell system has
established control points at Wash
ington. Boston, New York, Charlotte,
N. G., Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis,

TEETH AND HEALTH
BY Samuel NJ. Fink, d. d. s.
PERIODIC VISIT TO DENTIST

PERIODIC VISIT TO DENTIST
The school child should be taught
and supervised in the cleaning of
teeth after each meal, as well as in I
the more thorough cleaning of the
teeth which should be undertaken by
the dentist every six months. At
these periodic visits which are so inn
portant to the child, the dentist has
a chance to examine infinitely the
surface of all the teeth and to To-
cate any signs of new cavities. No
one likes to be hurt in having teeth
filed and it is by this early detection
Of cavities that discomfort may be
eliminated. 1t is the preparation of
the tooth for filling that most people
dread; and if the cavity which has
started to form is detected early, 1t
will take very little manipulating by
The dentist to insert filling.
Another important phase of the
care of the school child's mouth is
earning to care for the gums.
-'yorrhea, that dreadful disease
which visits so many of us in later
life, is rarely seen during the school
age. The child will learn during
his period that daily brushing Of
the teeth with dentrifce, massag-
ing the gums, and periodical visits to
The dentist may possibly prevent and
Greatly reduce pyorrhea in middle
age. These daily Oral Hygiene
Measures should be instilled into the
growing youngster.
Q.-Please describe the surfaces
If the teeth?
A.-Generally speaking the crown
Of each tooth has five surfaces which
are named according TO position and
use. The incisors and cuspids have
labial, toward the lips; ilngual, to-
ward the tongue; occlusal, toward
the opposing teeth; mesial, toward
.he median line Of the face; and
Iistal, away from the median line.
The bicuspids and molars have the
Jane surfaces except that buccal.
toward the cheek, is used instead Of
.abial. In addition to these, the
surfaces lying against adjoining
.eeth are called proximal or approx
NAL surfaces.

WEST NOTTINGHAM 19--WAsH.
INGTON HALL O

West Nottingham Academy closed
it's football season Friday, Nov. "a,
when its undefeated team ran up a.
score of 10 to 0 against Washington
Hall School of Port Deposit. The
game, played on the Tome Athletic
Field, was surprise to both sides;
the visitors were surprised in the
first quarter by the seriousness with
which the Junior Toners played;
che home-rooters were delighted by
the determination displayed in fac
ing supposedly superior team.
No scoring was done in the first
quarter. The second quarter brought
the first score to Nottingham. After
Two fifteen yard penalties against the
Maroon team, Bowles kicked a long
punt which the receiver fImbled,
che ball being recovered by Nothing
ham ON Washington Halls 15 yard
line. Soon after, Armstrong crossed
the line and Bowles converted. The
locals, at the opening of the third
quarter, ripped through Noting
hams line for two first downs in two
plays, but were finally stopped. Af-
ter 20 yards in penalties against Not
tingham, Bowles, dropping back for
fake punt, ran IS yards to be
thrown on Washington Halls 15
yard line, but there lost the ball ON
downs. The last period opened with
touchdown gotten on shovel pass
from Gerow to Bowles. StiteleT
failed to make the extra point. The
last touchdown was made by ARM
strong in the last few minutes of the
game. A pass from Bowles to
Gerow failed for the extra point.
The season for Nottingham has
closed. Its team has not been scored
on; its own total score is o.. The
coaches of this indicated squad,
Gress Hanna and Frank Dur:gg, are
to be commended, and much praise
is due to each player himself, for
they have all worked hard azL faiths

Finds Fortune Hidden
In Telephone Bellbox
Installer Restores Securities
Before Owner Misses
Them

Using q telephone bellbox as O
safety depository is not considered
advisable. But that is exactly what Q
Lynn, Mass, telephone user did Q
short time ago.
This unique safety deposit box'
was discovered one day recently by
A. e. Miller, an installer of the New
England Telephone and Telegraph
Company, who had been sent to re-
move some telephone equipment from
a residence. After he had left the
premises and was placing the removal
tag on the telephone equipment, he
discovered wad of paper in the
bellbox which aroused his curiosity.
It turned out to be stock certificates
worth about $4,000, including ten
shares of American Telephone and
Telegraph stock.
In endeavoring to trace the rightful
owner, telephone officials found that
the name on the stock certificate did
not correspond with the name in
which the telephone had been listed.
Inquiry at the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company's headquar-
ters In New York revealed the address
to which the dividends for the tele-
phone stock were seat, with the result
that the stock certificates were re-
turned to the owner before he even
knew that hey were n,isRlssed.

is opened. In fact the can is often
the most convenient container in
which to keep the food. Food
spoils no faster and no slower in
the open can than in any other
container. You can leave food in
the can just as safely as you can
leave it in dish. But Of course
you have to use the same care to
keep 1t cool and covered"
Foods which stand in a warm
place or in a refrigerator where
the ice supply is low are, Of
course, not safe in either a dish
or an opened can.
The Department of Agriculture
goes on to explain that some acid
foods like fruit and tomatoes,
when stored in an open can, do
tend to dissolve iron. This may
give the food a slightly metallic
taste that is not harmful.'

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION LOST FOR
OVER ONE HUNDRED
YEARS

Few Americans know that the
original Presidential Thanksgiving
Proclamation was lost for over a
hundred years; that it was found at
an auction sale in 1921; that it was
bought by the Liberty of Congress
for $4,000; and that it now reposes
in the archives Of that institution
one of the most valuable documents
in the world.
On September rs, 1889, Elias
Boudinct introduced thu following
resolution in the House of Repre-
sentatives:
Resolved, That a joint committee
of both Houses be directed TO wait
upon the President of the United
States, to request that he would rec
ommend to the people of the United
States day of public Thanksgiving
and prayer, to be observed by ack-
howledging, with grateful hearts, the
many signal favors of Almighty God,
especially by affording them an op
portunity to establish Constitution
Of government for their safety and
happiness"
Harmless as this resolution seems,
there were objections to it. In read
ing the Annals Of Congress. of that
period, we find that Representative
Aedanus Burke of South Caroline
thought we should not mint: Europe
where they made a mere mockery
Of thanksgiving"
Representative Thomas Tudor
Tucker. also of South Carolina, ar
gued that it was not the business OF
Congress to ask for national day
If Thanksgiving.
''They (the peaple) may not be in
clfned to return thanks for Consti-
cution until they have experienced
hat it promotes their safety and
happiness"
These objections, however, were
aoverruled; the resolution was passed
and sent to the Senate for concur
renee. The Senate approved and ap-
pointed its committee to wait on the
President. The joint committee was
made up of Ralph lizard, of South
Carolina and William S. johnson, OF
connecticut, from the Senate; Elias
6oudinct, of New Jersey: Roger
sherman, of Connecticut, and Peter
sylvester, of New York, from the
House.
Washington complied with the re-
quest and on October 8, 1889. issued
mis- proclamation, calling for a Ma
tional day of Thanksgiving on Thurs
day, November rs.
And then the document dropped
out of sight. 1t apparently was mis-
placed or attached to some private
papers in the process Of moving Of
dcial records from one city to anoth-
er when the Capital was changed.
However, it happened, the original
manuscript was not in the official
archives until 1921 when DR.. j. c..
Fitzpatrick, then Assistant Chief OF
he Manuscripts Division of the Lii
orary of Congress, found" the proc
iamation. 1t was at an auction sale
being held in the American Art Gal
ieries of New York City. DR.. Fitz-
patrick, an expert in Westinghouse,
examined the document and found it
to be authentic. 1t was written in
long hand by VIM. Jackson, Secre-
tary TO President Washington at the
time, and was signed in George
Washington's bold hand. DR.. Fitz-
patrick purchased the document for
100000 for the Library of Congress,
where it is now kept as a treasure.
And no amount of money could re-
move it.
