Free With His Money.

~ EADY and willing to race at any
and all times and under any
conditions, he has spent money
like water on the sport he loves and
has developed into a racing navigator
of far better than average ability.
Withal, he has seemed to be some
what aloof from the inner New YORK
Yacht Club racing group. In the cup
series last year he was affiliated with
the Sopwith challenging party; for
not only did he sail his sloop Vanltie
against Endeavour in the challenger's S
tuning up races, but in the cup series
that followed he was in charge OF
Sopwith's steam yacht Vita. Now ne

His career in yachting, upon which

later than most big boat yachtmen
have come into the sport-has been
rather an interesting one. Member
of the New York Yacht Club, he
never has stood as one OF the insiders
of the windjamming coterie of that
organization, while, curiously enough.
no member of the club has been more
active or more enthusiastic IN the
promotion of competition among sail
driven craft of large size.
At present he owns the great three

Who Are You?
Romance Of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

The Davidson family, which is well
represented in many Of the Southern
States Of America, derives lineage from
the Scottish branch of the family
which settled in the North OF Ireland
and later emigrated to this country.
Robert Davidson, the founder Of the
line in America, was born in Dundee,
Scotland. After settling in Ireland for
time, he came to Pennsylvania and
established his home in Lancaster
County, where he Immediately became
engaged in civic and military affairs
and was an influential citizen. He
married Isabella Ramsey, also a native
Of Dundee, Scotland. who, after his
death, moved TO North Carolina with
their two children and located near
Salisbury.
John Davidson, son of the founder
Robert Davidson, lived on the estate
called Rural Hill, near Charlotte, N
C. He was a man of considerable
wealth and prominence. He estab-
liShed the first iron works in the State
Of North Carolina. which foundry fur
nished ammunition for the War of
1872. Maj. John Davidson, of this
line, was member of the North Car
olina Legislature and held other Offices
of trust in the State. Davidson Col
lege in North Carolina was built in
honor of Gen. William Lee Davidson.

hunting expeditions often snap up q
passing firefly. Ugh! One experience
Is enough. There is something about
q firefly that is most distasteful to
birds.
The rays emitted by the common
lightning bug are very wonderful. as
they are almost entirely light rays
and have practically no actinic or
thermal effect.
The females have partly developed
wings and their light is not 30 bright.
The young have their lights on from
birth and, like their parents. feast
on the soft-bodied creatures to be
found in the decaying matter where
the night hunters spend their days.
For sunlight finds these creatures
sluggish and given to slumber.
In some tropical countries girls
catch the fireflies and imprison them
under nets that cover their hair. In
some places the men have been known
to tie a large firefly to the great toe,
in order to have light through the
jungle path. This would appear TO
be the forerunner of our fiashlight.
Country children will know the fun
of catching the flashers and putting
them in a clear glass jar. pretending
they have enough light to read by.

RY EDWARD McCOLLUM.

WHEN man learned to cultivate the
w soil he began to destroy the
source of one of the most important
food factors. For the repeated plOW-
ing and subsequent exposure Of the
fresh turned sod allow the rain to
wash away the minute particles Of
iodine that should be allowed to find
their way into the growing vegetables.
The iodine dissolved in the water Of
the brooks, streams and rivers, finally
finds its way into the waters OF the
ocean, leaving practically all cult
waited soil very deficient in this most
necessary food element. In America
this is resulting in the development of
a high speed, oversensitive, under
nourished race of people, due to NAL
function OF the thyroid gland for
which iodine is the most important
food.
Among the natural foods that are
high in iodine are sea lettuce very
high) carrots, pears. onions, toma-
toes, pineapple. potato skins. garlic,
water cress, garden lettuce. They are
foods that should be consumed in
generous amounts both as preven-
tive and a restorative measure where
thyroid troubles already exist.
In recent years food experimenters
have turned to the sea vegetation in
an attempt to discover some depend
able source of iodine in an acceptable
food form. This has enabled modern
health seekers to enjoy more emotion
al stability, clearer thought processes
and a greater degree of health, and
at present sea vegetation is being used
as regular part of the diet for thou
sands of people.
Importations OF Irish moss and
Mediterranean sea lettuce are con-
stantly increasing. The kelp harvests
off the coast of Southern California
are carried on with the same business
like methods as the great grain har-
vests of the Middle Western States
Sea vegetation. like the vegetables
grown on land, differs in taste. Some
varieties have a more pleasant flavor
than others. Individual tastes differ
also, and it is quite possible that there
will be found kelp or some other sea
vegetable that is rich in iodine to meet
the taste requirements Of every indi-
Vidual.
