Mr.. Taylor bad pressed La Grange

RANDOM NOTES

The tendency Of the United States
Government to take the reins of bust
ness in its hands is causing bitter re-
action. From Broadway. New York the
Committee of Public Utility Executives
is issuing bulletins in protest against
Bill introduced in Congress to provide
for the control and elimination of public
utility holding companies.
From several other sources come pro-
tests against the way in which the gov
eminent is heading.
What this radical change will mean
for the country is left to be seen but 10
will not be effected without struggle.
What the Colonial Council of ST. Croix
saw in Bill q and what its members who
had vision predicted. judging from the
tenor of the proposed legislation is only
now being realized by the people on the
mainland.

BY FAY BANTER
Actress,


A COUPLE of months before my
son was born my mother died.
Mother and l had been very dear to
each other; we had lived together as
great friends was terribly hurt by
her death. l became resentful of life,
doubtful of God.
Zone night my husband and l opened
the French doors to our bedroom and
retired early. l could not sleep for
f1eeting and tormenting thoughts of
my mothers death, the reason for it,
the loneliness of it.
Suddenly l heard strange rat
Ting sound. My husband, after 1 awak
ened him, heard nothing. He was
more than kind; he said l only i'm
agined the sound; that l was nervous,
due to my condition. l wanted to re-
monstrate, for l am steady person,
not given to weeping or to weakness.
"As soon as he fell asleep heard
the sound again. This time it was
rattling sound, as if some one were
shaking the ceiling.
Nucu LILY
time to my alarm he arose and
searched the room. He lighted the
heavy marble lamp, which, together
with various boxes and books, stood
upon the night table between our
beds. No sign of anything or anyone
strange could be found.
Il promised not to disturb him
again. All became quiet once more.
But only for moment.
1.-THE night table between our beds,
heavily laden, arose from its position
and crashed to the floor, breaking the
lamp and boxes. 1t was as if some
one had lifted it and smashed it upon
the floor. The crash was terrific.
This time my husband did not re-
flute me. He verified everything l
heard and saw. He jumped to his feet
and turned on the lights. Whatever
had caused the crash had vanished.
II have never been able to interpret
the meaning or the mystery of this
occurrence"

Pitch of the Pine Tree
Hardens; Becomes Amb,

Have you ever noticed masses of
pitch or resin clinging to the bark
of pine tree, and thought how much
like amber it looked? And no wonder,
for amber is merely pitch or resin
changed somewhat and hardened by
countless years beneath the earth.
The variety Of pine which produced
most amber once grew where the Bal
tic and the North seas now lie. This
land was gradually submerged. Later,
violent storms would cast large pieces
of the amber up on the Shore The an
clients valued it highly and credited it
with mysterious powers, chiefly be-
cause it becomes electrified when
it is rubbed. In fact, our word cleo
tricity is derived from elektron, the
Greek name for amber
Today some amber is still obtained
by picking up fragments washed ashore
by the waves but most of it is mined.
The chief source is East Prussia, al
though 1t Is found in small quantities
in many other countries.-St. Louis

The lowly snail, famous for his

The first frost last fall found each

the German variety is equally tasty
when compared with the best French
