LONDON, June 4 U.N.S0.
The hand of God has come to
support Roosevelt, declared British
economists and grain traders
here today as reports of the
drought both in America and
Europe indicated a possibility Of
grain and especially wheat crop
reductions so large that for the
first time in seven years there
seemed to be a chance that the
world surplus might be reduced
to normal proportions.
If this happens as British eco
nomicS point out, despite its
cruel immediate effect on the
farmers today. its long range
consequence may provide world
economy with the final impetus
towards real recovery. For as
they emphasize, a rise in prices
Of the worlds principal com
modify, might well prove the sig
nal for a general price rise all
along Lne line.
Would Aid Purchasing
The resultant increase of pur.
chasing power on the part of COM
modify producers would then lead
them to buy more manufactured
products and since the world is
caught up by this beneficient
circle it will be just as impossible
to prevent recovery as it was i'm
possible to check the vicious circle
of depression.
The beauty of this act of nature
from the cold economic stand
point is that it's reduction of crops
actually works whereas no scheme
of limitation of any commodity
yet attempted on a worldwide
scale has worked permanently.
Wheat Men Elated
The prime example of this Is
furnished by the wheat men now
in London awaiting resumption of
the sessions of the world economic
conferen e'S subcommittee on
wheat. A fortnight ago they were
a sour lot. Today they can hardly
repress their jubilation. The
committee had suspended until
June q due to inSiStence of Ar.
gentina on having her export
quota raised by 100000 900 bushels.
The feeling against Argentina
has been strong, but today the
sentiment is that it doesn't matter
since nature has taken hand.

THIS name is a familiar one in
every section of the United States
today. 1t is a name that has q long
and distinguished history. Although
there are several separate and distinct
families bearing the name Of Reynolds
in America today, a great many of
them undoubtedly descend from the
same parent stock.
The name is derived from the Saxon
word "rhein," meaning pure, and
"hold,". the old English word for love
this was shortened to "Reinold" and
signified sincere" Sir Joshua Reyn-
olds, the painter, is perhaps the most
noted Of the name.
In America we have records Of
Ensign John Rannels (later changed
to Reynolds), who was commander
and landed proprietor in Chambers
burg, Pa, ,1735-1738, attributing to
him large holdings in Lancaster and
other counties. William Reynolds,
his son, was active in the Revolution
ary War, serving as lieutenant, 1777-
1882. There are great many de-
scendants of this family living in
various sections of the country
Thomas Reynolds Of Maryland was
a delegate for Calvert County to the
Lower House of Assembly, 1754-i757.
John Reynolds was one Of the first
settlers Of Wethersfeld, Conn. Jona-
than Reynolds of Greenwich, Conn,
was q Representative to the General
Assembly in 1867.

Superstitions.

A IL gamblers are more or less
~ superstitious, and bridge play
~ ers are no exception. Whether
you believe that the blue deck
Is luckier than the red deck or
not, it is better for you to demand the
blue deck when it Is your privilege to
do so, simply because of the psyche
logical handicap it gives your op-
ponents. And psychological handi-
caps are not to be sneezed at. I have
heard many players defend their fail
ure to bid a slam in a rubber bridge
game by saying that they were run
ming in a bad streak" and that they
knew the slam wouldn't make. The
best way to deal with a partner of
that type is to tell him that you were
born with horseshoe in each fist and
that your good luck is bound to coun-
teract his jinx.
The superstition Of calling for
new deck of cards has a practical
background, dating back to the Mis-
sissippi River poker games. when the
sucker finally decided that he might
have better chance with an un-
marked deck. Where the changing Of
seats originated, ! do not know. To
switch the cards might presumably
bring you better run of cards, but so
long as the deal reverts to the same
person your position at the table
makes no appreciable difference unless
the stars shine more favorably on
North and South than on East and
West. AS far as am concerned, I
should like to abolish this practice
completely, because it involves hoist
ing myself from one comfortable chair,
walking around the table and settling
myself In another chair, which is, per-
haps, not so comfortable.
Many people believe that to assert
that so-and-so. Is bound to win the
tournament in q walk will result In
the jinxing Of so-and-so, and the loss
of the tournament in question. Pre-
sumably, there is a jealous divinity sit

must give a quick, spring-like move
ment to regain her normal position.
When she is star boarder she eats

raw vegetables, biscuits and onions,
which are her weakness. Like deer

Annabelle had a beautiful daughter
She was a very proud mother, indeed.
Her infant was licked until the velvet
like skin glistened. Its neck was
almost 2 feet long. its eyes were
wide open and alert. Though q bit
wobbly on its stilt-like, mottled legs,
1t was soon following her about. The
youngster tipped the scales at 1913
pounds and stood over feet tall.
When she was three weeks old she
was nibbling dainty leaves, and on her
fourth birth month she celebrated by
chewing her cud.
GiraffeS are voiceleSs. The greatest
fright or pain never has been known
to call forth a sound.
In the great jungles they travel in
herds, presided over by a male. As
they are able to see great distances,
and as nature provides them with
periscopes. they can evade enemies
fairly well. Lions are their dreaded
foes.
In Africa the natives hunt them
for their flesh, which they say is
delicious. The tail is considered q
prize and is worn as an ornament.
The giraffe has one of the toughest
and strongest hides among animals,
and it is often 80 feet long without
a break.

w new dress they get will find
possible solution to some of
their troubles in this we'll
designed dress, which can be adjusted
to most figures with a minimum of
effort.
Every seam line has been the sub
ject of careful study, and each is
placed at point where it will be an
advantage to the figure. For comfort
and wearability, this model is perfect.
The bodice boasts Of deep darts to
give fullness, and the skirt has a con-
cealed pleat In the back to supply
width without taking away the ap-
pearannce of slenderness. These de-
tails make the dress suitable for wear
in the home, especially when the short
sleeve version is featured.
The waist shows q diversified sur
plice closing, and the skirt continues
the lines In hip yokes which break
space and draw attention away from
the actual girth Of the figure. The
collar Is made to simulate revers In

pie plate is lined with a plain pastry
and a fiuted edge is made. If the
filling is uncooked, it is poured into
a pastry shell, also uncooked. Some
cooks find it easier to place the pastry
shell in the oven, and then pour the
filling in. In any case, a custard
filling should be warm when poured
into the pastry shell. The baking Of
the pie will then be more even. Bake
for is minutes at 450 degrees F. to
set the pastry rim, and then reduce
the heat to 1926 degrees F., which Is
the temperature at which custard
mixtures bake best without curdling,
and bake for about 80 minutes longer,
or until the custard is set. Heat the
custard or other filling for one
crust pie, and pour it into the pan
after the latter has been placed in
the oven. With a longhandled,
small dipper, this will not be at all
difficult to manage.
Before putting pastry shell in q

to prevent blistering. and chill. Puff
paste, made into patty cases, turn

native of and is only found in Africa
if you wish to call on her among
her native surroundings, otherwise you
will have to find out her residence ir
some nearby zoo.
She is dressed in a creamy or yel-
lowish white gown that Is covered with
irregular blotcheS Of lemon and
orange colored spots, If she is Cape
or Southern Giraffe. If the one you
see happens to be the Nubian or
Northern member the color Of the
patches will be q beautiful, rich
chestnut brown. Fine, white lines
surround the patches and the general
eeffect is a mosaic. In the woods,
where the sunlight filters through the
trees, you can pass one of them with
out being aware of its presence.
The long-necked creature Is very
shy. She has expressive, soulful eyes
that are shaded with long lashes.
Her horns are sensitive and useless.
With her graceful, sloping body, long,
even-length legs and taSseled tail, you
may think you are having dream
when you first see her.
She does not walk, she ambles. She
swings her Stove-pipe neck to and fro
with a carelessneeSs that seems sui
cidal. When she runs she breaks into
a gallop, her long hind legs reaching
ahead of her fore ones. She is very
fleet and when she is in action she
looks like a giant hobby horse escaped
from the nursery. On level ground
she can make 80 miles an hour, with
her long tail curled over her back, its
black tassel held so that the wind
makes q whistlng sound as 1t blows
through it. The neck acts as shock
absorber for the head, which is held
motionless while the giraffe makes
her getaway.
You should see Annabelle, the one
living at our Zoo. When she raises
her head above the tender foliage of
the tree her well developed ears
twitch to get every sound, and her
eyes, so strangely placed, have a
view of great distances. Her nose
can be closed against insects or whirl-
ing sand and dust, as she stands hour
after hour meditating or daintily nib
bling herbage.
A giraffe loves company. She some
times gets little too affectionate, and
1t is a trif1e embarrassing to have her
reach from such long distance for a
kiss or a treat.
Her food in her own country con-
sists of roots and the tender shoots
of trees. There she is always per-
fumed with the sweet fragrance Of
acacia flowers and others, as she
spends her time among the heavily
scented tropical blooms.

I'D a bit of food from the ground
she must spread her forelegs very
far apart and hold her hind ones

tenths Of illness is preventable, so in
this case nine-tenths of the Is billions
OF dollars Is inexeusable loss.
1t is to be supposed that the Public
| Health Service makes this statement
with the usual ineffective treatment
in mind, and If, under the present
system OF treatment, nine-tenths of
this total OF disease is preventable, we
can go farther and say that, If the
laws Of living were better understood,
| all of this total of disease is prevent
| able, and we are actually wasting IS
billions Of dollars annually. What
would this saying do to the national
debt? What would it mean in in
creased efficiency of the citizens, their
greater accomplishment, their en-
hanced enjoyment of living?
The now known money loss Is
nothing as compared to the losses in
efficient living, which cannot be esti-
mated in money.
The incentive to this investigation
was the fact Of growing costs to the
individual in medical service, making
these prohibitive to the simple wage
Garner.
The very poor are well taken care
Of, as a rule, through the charitable
| institutions of the States and cities,
| and the well-to-do can stand the
usual or unusual expenses Of various
illnesses and operations, but 1t Is the
| middle class, or the white collar"
class, that suffers most, and they are
seemingly between the upper and
| neither millstones.
These are the chief wage-earners,
and here the losses from illness are
greatest, so 1t is this class, in partic-
| ular, that should learn how to keep
well, as the members cannot afford
to lay OF. and cannot afford the costs
OF medical care. Keeping in mind the
| cause Of all disease, gradual accumu-
| lation in the body of its own wastes,
it is not then difficult to keep well,
If one will learn to keep the elimina-
| ton up to date and at the same time
| correct all those causes of intoxication
that are described here and will be
| daily stressed.
! If you wish to avoid the expense of
medical care and losses from the pay
window, then never eat unless and
until hungry; eat the things you like
| best If they are not refined, adulter-
ated. or spoiled in any way; combine
your foods In compatible relation; use
the daily simple cool 2-Quart enema,
but never whip this tired function
with stimulating laxatives or cath
= artics.
By these simple means, you will
prevent the accumulation of debris
that alone can make you sick or tired
or old, and can not only keep on with
| the job that means so much to your
selves and families, but you can pro-
mote yourselves into better and bet
ter jobs by greatly increasing your
efficiency.
This is all very much worth your
while; 1t costs nothing, it does not
take away from one Of the pleasures
of living, or even Of eating, so better
start in to do it.
