ODD NAMES IN POSTAL GUIDE

What is the most peculiarly named
place in the postoffice guide, publish
ed by the government printing office,
in Washington, D. c.? The answer
of most people would be Peculiar,
Missouri Copies of the latest issue
of the postal guide are being re-
ceived
Some of the names of towns where
post offices are located are surpris-
ingly odd. Probably the place to
avoid by motorists subject to sug-
gestion is Accident, Md. For mathe-
maticians there is an Add, KY, and
there is also an All, Va, and an Alto,
Ga. Other towns with unusual
names of significance are Amble,
Mich; Amity, Ark; Bachelor, N. c.,
for the single men, and Benedict,
Md, for the married men.
For nudists there is Bareville, Pa,
and for dogs, Barking, Pa, and for
those who are mentally unbalanced.
Battiest, Okla. Bath, N. Y, should
be Saturday night tnwn. Beauty.
KY. full of pretty girls, and Beef
hide, KY, cattle.
Begood, Va, must be full of
preachers and Beat, Ark, it is hoped,
is not full of beats" There is a
Bias in West Virginia, Bigfoot,
Tex, and Bill, in Wyo., and Bird
in Hand in Pa, to say nothing of
course of Bliss, N. Y, and Bluff, N.
c., Bray, in California, Breese, in
ILL.,, Broadway. N. c.; Bug, KY,
Busy, KY, and several Boxwoods.
The coolest place should be Frog
en-, w. Va. The guide is issued by
the superintendent of documents,
Printing Office, Washington.
Cad, Ca, and Cannon Ball, Miss,
are just two of the oddly named
towns There are in addition of
course. scores of complicated Indian
names, used for postoffice designa-
tions in addition to those imported
from all parts of the woorld.

POTATO CONTROL ACT
Must Put Stamps On Tubers-Fine
For Violation

The Potato Control Act, passed by
Congress that but recently adjourn
ed, vitality affects all potato growers.
Potatoes must, under the new act,
be sold in containers, with stamps on
them. A farmer selling them with
out stamps, or purchaser buying
them, is liable to fine.
The law imposes a mandatory crop
control on potatoes by requiring the
Secretary of Agriculture to fix a
maximum crop for the country to be
subdivided among individual states.
The purpose, of course, is to reduce
the crop so that the price will go up.
Potatoes above the allocated quota
limit must pay a prohibitive Accent
a-bushel tax.
Having determined this quantity
the Secretary shall distribute the
total quantity among the states.
Tax-exemp. stamps are to be issu-
ed to each producer for the quantity
thus allotted him. He may produce
as many Irish potatoes as he desires
and the season permits, but if he
sells more than his allotment he is
made subject to a stamp tax of three
fourths of one cent a pound.
Enforcement features rest primar-
lily in the section which places penal
ties ON the purchase of unstamped
potatoes. The buyer, rs we'll as the
seller, is made liable for fine not
to exceed $1,000 or Imprisonment not
to exceed six months, or both.
For the first year to begin Deem
Der l next, the act is mandatory, the
allotments to be announced thirty
days in advance of that date, but
continuance will depend upon results
of a growers referendum.
Because of the failure of the
emergency appropriation bill to pass
Congress, carrying funds for the
financing of this and other relief
measures, it is probable the new
potato control enactment will not
become operative.

STAR sPANGLED BANNER CELE.
BRATION

Baltimore's joint celebration of the
121st anniversary of the writing Of
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" and the
rededication of the Fifth Regiment
Armory, in that city, on September
IS and IA, promises to be an out
standing military spectacle.
Arrangements for the exercises
have been in progress for months
and the celebration will be attended

organizations with historical back
grounds, including military units Of
the Centennial Legion, which COM

ner" exercises al Fort McHenry will
be held at 200 p. m.
The reconstructed Armory is on
the site of the building that was de-
stroyed by fire in 1898. Estimated
to be worth approximately ST.
100000, though its actual cost to
the State was only 100000, it
represents the last word in modern
armory construction.

PAPER

Hugh Bradley is widely quoted on
great variety of subjects relating to
all sorts of sports, because he is
recognized as one of the country's
outstanding sports authorities. Be-
cause he has such thorough knowl-
edge of sports and sportsmen of this
and other days, he has been called a
walking sports encyclopedia" but
| that is as far as the comparison be-
tween Bradley and an encyclopedia
can be carried, for there certainly is
nothing of the dryness Of the ency-
clopedia about anything that Brad
| ley writes. He has a breezy and
vivid style that will make his COM
ments of interest to all of you
whether you are a dyed-in-the-wool
sports enthusiast or have only a
casual interest in the various sports
about which he writes.
Bradley knows and loves sports
from the standpoint of both the
athlete and the observer. He took
law course at the University of
Maryland, passed his bar examina-
ton successfully and was ready to
hang out his single as a practicing
attorney, but he was destined never
| to decorate the legal profession.
During his college days Bradley had
made a name for himself in baseball
and football and he had no sooner
emerged from scholastic halls to be-
come a full-fedged lawyer than the
managing editor of the Baltimore
American altered all his plans by
offering him job in the American
sports department. Bradley took the
job, with the result that a brilliant
mind was lost forever to the legal
fraternity.
From the American, Bradley went
to the Scripps Howard organization,
becoming sports editor and columnist
for it's Baltimore paper. His next
move was to the New York Post and
in short time he became sports
editor of that paper. In recent years
he also has been a consistent con-
tributor not only to sports publica-
tions but to the leading general
magazines of the country.
Mr.. Bradley's comments on a great
variety of things that are of interest
in the sports world will appear in
this paper under the heading, Hugh
Bradley Says"
1t was in our mind to suggest that
you make habit of reading this en-
pertaining and informative feature
but such suggestion is unnecessary.
Read Bradley's sports comments once
and the habit of looking for them
each week will automatically have
been acquired.

GODS WISDOM AND POWER
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Gods wisdom is greater than any,
And the mighty works wrought by
His hands;
His voice stilled the storm and the
tempest;
Beauty celestial and grand.
Only the touch of His garment,
And the power to make every whit
whole;
Songs of redemption and glory,
That echo in every soul.
The Christian religion, recognition of
God,
Celestial, supreme and divine;
We are only the branches;
God Himself is forever the vine.
In the light of His mighty works and
love,
Salvation full and so free;
The fountain of life ever flowing,
Flowing for you and for me.
Gods wisdom and His great power
Can be seen as we look every
where;
The mountains, valleys and meadows
green,
The hand of God is there.

THE ETERNAL AGES
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

This wide and unbounded prospect
Lies just Beyond us all.
God grant that we may be ready,
When we answer the Master call.
Working for God in His vineyard,
This short and transient life.
We will garner our harvest in
Heaven,
After the toll and the strife.
Eternity, how great and important,
Than the commonplace things of
time;
The eternal ages upon ages,
Some day to be yours and mine.
Beautiful land of PROMISE
Fairer scenes, SO glorious and
bright,
The eternal ages of Heaven,
Where comes no darkness or night.
Reunited with loved ones forever,
While the endless ages roll.
No sad farewefls nor partings,
In the Homeland of the Soul.

only prosperous people could
" afford to eat pineapple before
the invention of canning. Poets
used it as a symbol for the rare
and luxurious-but kings and mil
lionaires ate it. Balzac devised a
scheme for getting rich by raising
pineapple under glass, in the Paris
suburbs, but the pineapples let
him down. They preferred Ha-
waiian sunshine.
Today, however, pineapples have
become so prosperous that they
can afford to contribute their gold
to all-the gold of health and APP
petite. On the sunny salt-breeze
isles of Hawaii they ripen in such
abundance that Gamers can afford
to gather only the very best of
the fine crop, pack them in cans
and send them to us at exceed
ingly low cost.

Share Their Wealth

To keep pace with the prosper
ity of pineapple, dietitians are de-
vising new ways to use them, so
that they may continue to bring
their wealth to our table. Perhaps
you will say, '"They are SO deli
cious just as they come from the
can-why bother to prepare them
otherwise"
The answer is-variety. Use
them just as they come from the
can for breakfast fruit, and you
will find that, prepared in one Of
the delicious new forms, you will
be ready for them again in din
ner salad, with meats, or as a
dessert.

Two Top-Notchers

There is an East Indian Shrimp
Salad, for example, which COM
bines crushed pineapple with
shredded cabbage, moistened with
mayonnaise and seasoned with
curry powder-all neatly stuffed
in ripe tomatoes, over the edge of
which fresh or canned shrimps
are hooked. Add this to your pine
apple repertoire and see how rich
you feel!
There's a dessert, too, that's
quick as a wink to prepare-and
so good. Just saute sponge cake
to a nice brown, add drained diced
pineapple and sugar to the pan,
saute a few moments longer and
when slightly golden in color, pour
it over the sponge cake, topped
with plenty of whipped cream Its
extraordinary! .

Those Little
Green GIObuIes

IDEAS to you,-those little green
Il globules which we are con-
stantly discovering in the dishes
which taste best for summer.
They pop up in patty-shell dishes,
in light summer soups, in sauces
to make fish taste better-almost
anywhere you look, at this season
of the year, you will find those
little green globules.
So if you are planning to enter
tain this summer-and you'll want
to do a lot of it while the del
phiniums are in bloom and the
dahlias are budding-see that
your shelves are well stocked with
canned peas of various sizes. Serve
the tiny ones as a vegetable, the
medium sized peas in salads and
reserve the larger, less expensive
size, to simmer nice and tender in
soups.

He's known as "Punchy" to his
teammates. But Billy Vermillion
is far from being that on the foot
ball field or the basketball floor.
BY that it is meant Vermillion
is playing the headiest game OF
any of his mates. He proved this
point in the recent interhigh foot
ball series, when he won the quar-
terback'S berth on the Central
eleven. He ran the team very
we'll and was selected on The
Times All-High team.
Vermillion is now out for the
basketball team. He will, no
doubt, gain a regular berth, since
he played last year and gained
valuable experience by his efforts.
Besides, Coach Jack Ray likes his
