works is! How often do we find
ourselves able to recite the
first four lines of a poem, and
then unable to keep our eyes
open any longer!
Not many people know that
the name of the boy in the
poem was Giacomo, and that his
fathers name was Louis, and
that the ship was the Orient"
Or possibly it was the other way
round. Anyhow, there they
were!
So things went on like this
for quite a while, and then Mrs.
Hemans wrote a poem about it
and called it "Casabianca," be"
cause if she hadn't used the
name in the title, she couldn't
have jammed it into the poem
itself in the meter she had
picked out.
If she had wanted to use the
name Casabianca in the poem,
she would have had to do it in
this meter:
Casabianca. through the
woods
To Grandmother's house we
go.
Then she couldn't have got
in about the burning deck. She
was in a pretty tough spot all
around.
We don't hear much about
Mr.. Hemans, probably because
he and Mrs. Hemans separated
in 1918. (See-I know every.

right ahead, however. and only

OLD FAVORITES
The LOU-Backed Car

I
When first saw sweet Peggy
Twas market day,
low-backed she Drove and sat
Upon truss of hay;
But when that hay was blooming grass
And decked with flowers of Spring,
No flower there that could compare
With the blooming girl sing.
AS she sat in the low-backed car.
Never asked for his toll,
The man at the turnpike bar
But just rubbed his oud poll,
And looked after the low-backed car.
o, I'd rather own that car, sir
With Peggy by my side,
Than coach-and-four, and gold galore
And lady for my bride;
For the lady would sit forninst me,
On cushion made with taste
While Peggy would sit beside me,
With my around her waist

I sat down to my receiver
the other evening, put on the
head phones, and listened. In
Rio Bamba, Ecuador, a man
sat down to his transmitter and
tapped out CO in dots and
dashes. AS twisted my tuning
dial I happened upon CO and
halted. He finished the CO
call and signed his call letters.
I looked up the latter in the
cali book and found his name
and address. His ca meant,
"Anybody wishing to communi-
cate please answer"
I threw my switch to trans
mission, tapped out his call
letters, signed my own, and
threw the switch to receiving.
It seemed grotesque to expect
him to hear me, away down
there in South America. AS I
listened there came out of
the ether my call letters. He
had heard me and was answer
ing.
PLEASANT VISIT
After calling. the little dots
and dashes said, "GE QRK?"
and then signed off. The man
in South America had wished
me a good evening and asked
how his signals were being
received. They were strong
and clear, so I went back and
told him so, also asking him
QRK? about my own, and
then asked what the weather
was like down there under the
equator.
In Hartford, I told him, the
snow was half a meter deep
and the temperature IS de-
grees below zero centrigrade,
using metric units, because in
his country, like many others,
feet, inches and Fahrenheit
temperature mean nothing.
In halting English he came
back. saying he never expert
enced any such weather as
that. With him it was beauti-

ture 33 degrees centrigrade. We

eminent under the agricultural

"One obvious reason for the

in the fact that the agricultural

French Scientist
Predicts Weather
By Moon Cycles

PARIS Up Farmers and sailors.
who have always based their wea-
ther forecasts on the moon, are
right in the belief OF M. Joseph Cas-
siopee, N French scientist.
The moon causes the ocean tides.
and also affects the atmosphere.
Tides can be accurately forecast long
In advance. and therefore. argues
M. Cassiopee. II ought to b. possible.
BY = study OK the moons habits, TO
foreteIl the weather II the same way.
Proceeding on this theory. he fig
ured that ecllpses or the moon occur
in regular cycles every S77 years.
Consequently II. as he believes, the
moon makes the weather. atrnus-
pheric conditions should correspond
to the eclipse cycles.
Therefore to forecast the weather
well ahead for any given year. all
that Is necessary is TO know what
the conditions were S72 years ago.
Following this out, ne found that the
heat wave OF July 1852 was reproduc-
ed in July. 1884. Again. the summer
or 1895, like that or 1858. was excep-
tionally hot and dry. while the win
ter or 1861 should be mn excep-
tionally hard one.

Of delinquent taxes, We butt squarely
up against the constitution Of the
United States which says that "all
taxes shall be equal" 1t Is not equal
taxation when you pay your taxes
and your neighbor does not.
Then again, we have the sugges-
ton that delinquent taxes se "ad-
justed." This Is o good suggest. on.
and one that most probably can be
worked out by the legislature. OF
course, It Is always possible that
such adjustment. unless authorized
by q constitutional change, will be
knocked out I'm the courts ON the

ment, as has happened recently In
Illinois.
willacy county. right here In the
Valley, Is probably the one county
In Texas able 10 work out such an
adjustment" Is far as its state
and county taxes are concerned. Due
to It's formation from three other
counties. the lands OF Willacy were
assessed on three different scales OF
valuation In 1922. when the county
was formed. and thereafter. agreed
judgments setting the assessments
at 90 per cent Of the valuations were
entered into In the district court
and delinquent state and county
taxes accepted at 90 cents on the
dollar.
