SHE THOUGHT IT OUT

EVEN IF the Deschappelles'
grand coup is not as rare as some
writer's seem to think, it is one of
the rarest stratagenls employed in
the game, even with experts who
are not liable to miss a chance to
employ it when necessary. For
young player, who never had heard
OF this coup, to think out what had
to be done to prevent defender
from making two trump tricks
through use of the coup, is almost
unprecedented, but such case was
reported to me last night. Miss
Vera Clifford, of Baltimore, was
the heroine.

Government of, By and
for the People" Traced

According to Rev. H. Barker's
English Bible Versions" the first
appearance of this phrase govern
ment of the people, by the people
and for the people," found in
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech was in
the preface of the old Wickliffe
Bible, translated before 1884, in
which it is declared that "this Bible
is for the government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the peo-
ple." The Home Book of Quotations
states that a careful examination
has failed to disclose this passage
in the Wickliffe Bibles available.
Theodore Parker used the phrase
in three different addresses, deliv-
cred in 1850, 1854 and 1858, to il
lustrate what he called the Ameri-
can idea of democracy. Daniel Web
ster used almost the same words in
a speech in 1880. John Adams in an
address in 1893 employed the
phrase ga government made by
themselves (the people,, for them
selves and conducted by them
selves" Thomas Cooper in 1795
published a pamphlet in London en-
titled "Some Information respecting
America" in which he stated ''The
government is a government of the
people and for the people"

''No man likes to find himself in

eff he doesn't want to be ridicu-
lous, he shouldn't make love to a
girl half his age," she protested
mischievously.
Dan insisted: 81 like him, and
respect him. Nancy, you do it."
She said demurely: "Who am l
to oppose you, Dan, my dear2 I'll
do exactly as you say" She urged
then, happily: "But let's not tell
anyone else, till we're ready to be
married the very next dayl"

He set up another target, filled
the magazine. He fired somewhat
more rapidly than she had; and
when he finished, went to fetch the
target. They examined it together,
and she had to concede defeat. OF
her shots, three were scattered out
side a six-inch circle; but his were
all closely grouped.
They stayed there, thus engaged,
until the luncheon-bell rang; and he
beat her consistently, so that his
good humor grew. At lunch he was
as amiable as possible; and she pre-
tended chagrin at her defeat, and
challenged him to tennis in the aft
ernoon. Her father accepted.
They did not begin Immediately
after lunch; but they were on the
court when in midafternoon tn e
phone rang. The telephone itself
was in a closet behind the dining
room, but there was a changing bell
on the side veranda which could
be heard for half the length of the
island; and Nancy cried:
"I'll have to 60 answer. There's
probably no one in the house," She
went running down the path.
But when she came back up the
path, it was slowly, disappointment
shadowing her eyes; she said:

and husky.
It seemed to them the essence
of perfection to eat hamburger
sandwiches at lunch-cart on the
way home, where two truck-drivers
ate beside them and discussed the
days ball-game with the cook. Yet
afterward they were reluctant to go
on, and it was late when Nancy
brought Dan at last to his own door.
She would not come in. "I don't
even want to see Mary Ann to-
night" she said.
He spoke soberly. Nancy, there's
one thing: Jerrell's a good man,
and a fine man. And he's been
mighty nice to you. You must tell
him, Nancy"

Seeing Happiness

Happiness is the gift Of seeing
the good things of life in such high
relief that the rest is unimportant.
Approve not of him who COM
mends everything you say.
When a man with an air as if il
were natural to him to give orders
is found, it isn't long before the
meek put him in a position to do
it.
A long answer turneth away
anybody else who was going to
ask question.
Using Abilities
The art of being able to make

What men say when they are
angry is either the blazing truth
or very unreliable.
If you encounter man who
knows several secrets Of his
friends and doesn't tell them,
that's the man to tie up to.
There is nothing thrilling about
contentment; nothing dangerous,

PLOW TO SAVE NEWLY
MADE TERRACES

Proper blowing and running rows
along instead of across terraces saves
soil and prolongs the life Of the ter
races.
When blowing, divide the space
between two terraces into three
lands or sections, said H. r. Tribou,
agricultural engineer of the Soil
Conservation Service in North Caro-
lima.
Land / is the terrace ridge; land
2 covers distance from the terrace
channel 10 to 10 burrows up the
slope; and land the remainder of
the space between the terraces, or
the space from the upper edge of
land 2 to the lower edge of land 1.
Tribou advised that land l be
plowed so as to throw burrows to-
ward the terrace ridge both on the
front and back side until the terrace
channel is reached.
The second land should be started
6 to IL feet above the terrace chan
mel and burrows thrown uphill away
from the channel.
This leaves the dead furrow at the
terrace channel and keeps the chan
mel clear, said Tribou. The starting
point for the second land can be va
ried few feet each year to avoid
forming ridge above the channel.
To give the burrows the same
slope as the terraces, land 3 is plow-
ed parallel to the other two lands.
Row crops following the same di-
terraces aaginst breaks.
Tribou suggests locating one row
along the top of the ridge, leaving
the channel clear for the flow of
water.

PESTS ON BIRDS Do NOT
AFFECT HUMANS

The idea that swallows, bats, fly
ing squirrels and other wild animals
and birds carry on their bodies such
pests as bed-bugs and lice of various
kinds and that these birds and ami
mails actual bring them into human
habitatIons, to the detriment of the
human race, is nothing but super
stitution, according to Geo. B. Lay
Junior Biologist at Stage College.
"Most of our native birds carry at
least one species of louise, sometimes
more than one; and often on species
from each of the two orders of chew
lice and sucking lice. Usually, each
species or group of birds has a par
ticular kind of louise as permanent
resident or occasional visitor; and
such lice, if they try to get along on
different species or group of birds,
find the food not to their liking and
die" Lay said.
''For this reason, many is not
troubled by the insect pests of wild
birds and animals. Bats do carry
such pests, in at least two orders of
insects, but such pests cannot get
along on a human being. However,
the idea seems to be quite prevalent
and I am asked about this supersti-
tuition almost every weak. Of course,
the reas is not difficult to find: most
lice, to the casual observer, look
alike and the differences between
species is structural or very insight
ficant and would not be noticed ex-
cept with magnifying glass, due to
the small size of the insects.
'To make my point clearer, let me
explain. The chances are good that
a louise, found on Red-Shouldered
hawk, would not live on the body
of a Cooper's Hawk, although both
hawks are closely related. A louise,
found on an English Sparrow, would
not get along well on Chimney
Swift. If the RubyThroated Hum
mingbird has louise species as a
resident, that louise would not live
on the body of any other bird. The
same is true of other groups of ami
mails, and most birds and animals

COMPLETE IN FORMATION AIDS
IN TESTING SOILS

When farmers send soil samples
to the North Carolina Experiment
Station, it is necessary that complete
information be furnished so that a
comprehensive analysis may be
made.
Letters accompanying the samples,
says L. G. Willis, soil chemist at the
Station, usually give some informa-
ton as to the crops affected and pre-
viouS soil treatments but other inn
portmant details are often lacking.
The soil chemist points out that it
is important to know whether the
trouble occurs all over field or on
ly on some parts of it. It is usually
necessary to report the appearance
of the crops, whether corn has strip
ed leaves or the stalks break over,
whether the leaves of other crops
burn around the edges or are colored
yellow or red or whether the injury
is found at the bottom or the top of
the plant.
One of the most serious difficulties
found in this work is that of de-
termining whether the crop failure

disease, Willis says. Sometimes
these are associated and sometimes
the disease is independent of any
known soil condition.
When samples are sent in during
the summer, the farmer has more
information to supply the Station
than if he sent the sample during
the winter. In the summer he can
observe growing conditions and re-
port these accurately. In the winter
this is not possible, and the farmer
may forget the actual growing con-
ditions of the summer before
The work of testing soil samples
cannot be carried on in large way
at the Experiment Station because
of the limited funds for such a pur-
pose, explains Willis. However, those
that do send samples can do their
part by giveing complete informa-
ton.

House Democrats and Republicans
reached an agreement Wednesday
which sped the relief-deficiency bill
to conference for reconciling differ
ences with the Senate, and thereby
improved congressional adjournment
outlook, it was thought at the time.
Chairman Buchanan, Texas Dem
ocrat, and Representative Taber,
New York, and other Republicans
reached an understanding on the
floor for procedure to govern the
House conferees in agreements with
the Senate conferees.
Under the argument, the House
conferees were authorized to accept
any or all Senate amendments, ex-
cept the 10 million dollar condi-
tional expenditure authorized for
the Florida ship canal, and the
| $300,000,000 fund given the Public
Works administration for grants.
These two Senate amendments were
to beb rought back for separate
House votes.
Chairman Buchanan and House
conferees met Wednesday afternoon
and began studying the Senate
amendments to the bill, preliminary
to the first meeting of the joint con-
ference committee Thursday.
Final action on the relief-deficiency
bill was delayed until this week by
the death of Speaker Byrns Thurs
day, which upset congressional adj
journment plans and delayed pass
age of the tax bill in the Senate.
