Dueling Dummy Survives
to Keep Alive Tradition

An iron man which failed to
serve its purpose and has survived
to keep alive tradition may be
seen at Camden, S. c., relates a
writer in the Washington Star.
The iron man serves also to take
some OF the romantic glamor out
of dueling.
Fiction writer's are prone to pic
ture dueling in an exalted light
with mere risking their lives to
satisfy some breach of honor and
the code of dueling was the code
OF gentleman.
The iron man, behind his change
less expression, knows otherwise.
1t seems that colonel and a
major came to the parting of the
ways and in parting, only a duel
could leave honor satisfied. The
colonel was about six feet tall, his
antagonist about five foot six. The
duel was to be fought with revolv-
ers, in the use of which both were
highly proficient.
However, the colonel decided to
have bit of practice and secured
an iron casting of man about the
size of the major and he held daily
target practice, attaining great ac-
curacy in his craftsmanship.
Came the morning of the duel
and the colonel, attired in green
silk took his place with green foli-
age behind him to confuse the ma
jor's aim. That gave the colonel
an advantage, but the major was
undisturbed. Both men fred and
neither hit his foe.
"Are you satisfied?" inquired the
colonel.
I'm disgusted," replied the ma
jor angered at his poor marksman-
ship. The duel occurred in 1845.

Women of the Stone Age
Had Own Beauty Secret

The ladies of Cleopatra's court
took milk baths regularly. The idea
wasn't as you may suspect, origi-
mated by more modern beauties.
Neither did the sirens of the mod
ern stage figure out for them
selves that mascara makes lashes
look longer, eyes more luminous.
Women who lived hundreds Of
years ago didn't have fine, scienti-
fically made mascara and eyelash
dyes, but they did have burnt cork
and wood, and they blackened
their lashes and brows with these,
states writer in the New York
World Telegram.
It is said that women of Ameri-
can Indian tribes smeared their
lips with black paint for state oc-
casions. Generally, however, they
used the juice of wild berries to
dye their lips bright red.
Women of ancient Rome and
Egypt had no tissue cream, but
they anointed their bodies and
their hair with oil, painted lips
and cheeks with red berry juice.
Long before, women of the stone
age crushed bits of white rock and
powdered their faces with the dust.

Variety Of Flavors

A classification of many of the
eucalyptus trees reads like cata-
log of havoring extracts for cake
making. Some of them, says the
Los Angeles Times, are the pepper
mint gum, lemon-scented gum, APP
ple-scented gum and sugar gum.
The crushed leaves of these trees
actually have the designated odors.
The peppermints are the tallest
trees in the world. The almost I'M
believable heights of the taller eu-
calyptus trees vary from 400 to al
most 900 feet. 1t is said that there
is one near Sydney, Australia,
525 feet high. One of the modest
cousins of these giants of the euca-
lyptus family is known as Euca-
lyptus polyanthemos, or the Aus
tralian beech. It is one Of the har-
diest and most drouth resistant of
the small types of eucalyptus.

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1936-08-06

Terry possibly was the best first
baseman who ever played the
game and Cochrane holds similar
high rating among the catchers.
They took over their managers
jobs while still able to perform in
Sprightly fashion. They starred in
their own right while their example
undoubtedly inspired lesser team
mates to reach hitherto (and since
them unthought-of heights.
Now, when they are sorely tried
by an assortment of the ailments
which inevitably take toll of aging
athletes, things do not add up the
same. Reibers, Myatts, Leslies and
such folk are hired men Of average
worth, but they simply do not pos
sess the spark that makes Terrys
and COchranes. So, as has been
apparent all season, the two man
ayers Immediately are beset by
problems even more vexing than
thyrOids or sciatica while attempt
ing to readjust their baseball lives.
If the law of averages operated
properly there could be some COM
pensaticn for all this. Blood
streams, which formerly had to do
double duty while generating both
base blows and strategy, could be
entirely at the service of deep
thinking. In place of the line drives
which once encouraged their cham
pionship ambitions the Tigers and
the Giants could be inspired by
daily strokes of managerial genius.
This, of course, would indicate
most sublime future but, unf0rtu-
nately, neither Hoyle nor Hughie
has much influence with the law of
averages.
Both Bill and Mickey are men of
action. They seem to function best,
mentally as wei as physically,
while on their feet in the midst of
heated action. Probably a proper
appreciation of his own muscular
possibilities has inspired each of
these managers as much as it has
inspired his followers.
Undoubtedly this has been true
of Terry during the past two years.
Without attempting to second guess
a guy who has been trying hard
in the midst of severe handicaps
most fans are aware that he is
a far better manager when play
ing than when spending an after
noon in the dugout.
Less opportunity has been pro-
vided for judging Cochrane as a

, ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS s
 (

Question: What is the price oi
 timber land in Alaskan"
 The larger part of the commercial timber in Alaska is included in the TWO National Forests-the Tongass Forest comprising most of South east Alaska, and the Chugach Ma tional Forest on the shores of Prince William Sound.
 Land within the National Forests is never sold, except those areas found suitable for agriculture, and areas released for homesites. Set lerS are given permits to cut what ever amount of timber they may need for their own use, at no cost In the case of persons leasing home sites close to settlements, such as Juneau, the Forest Service has charged for such timber, and has restricted the cutting to certain trees so as not to denude the sec lions along the highway. But in the nore remote sections, no charge is made
 Users of commercial timber can purchase standing timber from the Forest service at an average price of $1.00 per thousand feet of Hem 'ock and $50 per thousand feet of Spruce. These prices apply to any timber desired for local milling, pil- ing, or for export A price of ap- proximately 50 cents per thousand feet on Hemlock and $1.0O per thou sand on Spruce is offered to users who would want to cut for pulp mills. Title to the land is retained by the Forest Service in all cases to enable them to perpetuate.
 Question: Are there any taxes on land in Alaska?
 Patented land outside incorporat ed communities is not taxed. Set tiers stalking homestead or home sites, and anyone stalking mining claims, are required to do certain work for a period of time, but when that period has elapsed and the occupant has applied for patent, the property, if patent is granted, can be held thereafter without any ex- ense.

 MT. Holbrook mentioned two at tractive locations that he inspect ed in Hawk Inlet on Admiralty Is- land, below Funter Bay. They are at the head of the Inlet, on the shores of a creek that is navigable by small fishing boats at high tide and afford practically every agri- cultural advantage-eXcept trans oortation.
