Extinction Of Gigantic
"Cat" Hard to Explain

A giant lion-considerably larger
than the African animal of today and
representing one of the highest de-
velopments of killing" effectiveness
in the mammal world-lived in North
America at about the time this con-
tinent first was invaded by human
beings.
Bones of the "atrocious cat" as it
has been named in the Latin of science,
have been found in asphalt deposits
near Los Angeles by paleOntOlOgists of
the Carnegie institution of Washing
ton, together with bones Of about
1000 other animals Of the cat tribe.
''Fels strox" was true king Of cats.
and probably Of the whole animal
world of his time. In the same de-
posit were found many bones of the
almost equally ferocious "smilodon,"
or saber-tooth cat. those Of puma
closely related to the present American
species, and those of a wildcat ap-
parently Identical with a type still
living in California. All these animals
were flesh eaters. They were drawn
to the asphalt beds to devour the car
casses of animals caught there, be-
came trapped themselves, and per-
ished.
The puzzle the paleontologists are
trying to work out is why these great
and frightfu1 creatures, strong and
fierce enough to get all the food they
wanted by devouring other animals,
perished completely at about the be-
ginning Of the historical period, while
the little wildcat lived on into the
present.

SkIDDING HAZARD
(By John Jaster, Jr.)


It's sometimes quite safe to trav-
ell at reasonably fast rate Of
speed on a through highway when
you know that motorists coming in
from side roads have to come to a
stop before entering the line of
traffic
At this time of year, however, it's
a different story. The hazard of
skidding rises sharply as a driving
menace during cold, wintry days.
Although drivers approaching main
highways may have perfectly good
intentions Of stopping at the inter
sections where STOP signs are
erected, as required by new state
law, the condition Of the highway
may seriously alter their plans.
If the highway is wet or icy, the
car may not stop at all, but skid
right into the main stream of traf-
fic. The results of such skidding
are obvious-death and injury.
To overcome accident possibili-
ties, drive with extreme caution on
snow-covered or icy highways
whether on a main road or not
Then you will have the chance to
avoid car that may unavoidably
skid into your path.
When highways are in this dan
gerous condition, start your jour
neys earlier and take a little more
time. Then you will reach your
destination.

Name "TaHy" Traced to
Jayanese Word for Rum

The American word taffy and the
British word toffee, fol- candy made of
nofasses, originate from the Javanese
word for rum: tape, or tafe, distilled
from moIasses. Very often the home
bound cargoes of the old-time sailing
ships trading in the South seas were
molasses from Java.
The word came to the Philippines
with the Indonesian colonies from
Asia that had long inhabited the
mountains of northern Luzon; these
people, however, do not make rum, but
ferment wine from rice and give it the
Javanese name for rum. Some tribes
call the wine tapuy, some tapel, both
obvious variations from the original
tape.
Another variation Is the name Of the
wine from sugar cane juice, basA
When the British freebooter, Captain
Anson, conveyed prize he had taken.
the silver-laden Spanish galleon Caba-

of bashi that had lightning effect.
Returning to ship, the mems tongues
were thick, and in explaining their
condition to Anson they said they had
been enjoying a few cups of bashi;
Captain Anson charted his channel

Court Amendment

B. H. Perry and Jasper B. Hicks,
we'll known Henderson attorneys,
have been appointed as county CO.
chairmen for Vance in the campaign
in behalf of the adoption of the con-
stitutional amendment to be voted on
at the general election in November
for increasing the State Supreme
Court from five members, as at pre-
sent to seven, the addition of two.
The two attorneys were named to
the posts by George Green, of Weldon
who was named district chairman by
Charles G. Ross. of Fayetteville, pres
ident of the North Carolina Bar AS
ISOLATION.
1t is pointed out that the work of
the States highest tribunal is already
too great for five men to bear, and
that the strain and hard work requir-
ed is crushing the health of the Just
ices.
Members of the bar in the State
are sponsoring this amendment in the
hope of bringing relief to members
of the court. They are expecting to
work up sufficient sentiment among
the voters to enable the amendment
to pass.
