they hatch and how to detect the
beetle in the earth. He stated that
the heavy freeze did destroy some
but from all reports there will be
plenty to fight again this year. He

proper planting would help in check
ing the pest. They reach their peak
in number around the goth of July

Tomato Shrimp Jelly,
Honey Is Again Used for
Wounds As in Days of Pliny

Honey as a dressing for wounds
was popular at one time in the Mid
die ages. Still earlier, during the
Roman empire. it enjoyed certain
vogue; and Pliny refers in a certain
passage to fish fat and honey as
making good ointment for wounds.
1t may we'll be that the fish fat he
refers to was cod-liver oil.
Now honey has been re-discovered
as a remarkably effective ointment.
In a Red Cross hospital in Ham,
burg, Germany. tests have been car
ried out with honey during the past
half year. and it has been found
that even much soiled wounds quick
ly become cleaner under Its inf1u-
eEce. But though 1t cleans a wound.
1t does not seem to make 1t heal
more quickly than before. AS cod
liver oil promotes rapid healing. II
has been combined with honey In
an ointment so as to achieve the
double purpose Of cleansing and
healing.-Science Service.

The Tallest Races

The Patagonians of southern South
America are listed as the tallest race,
with an average of feet IL inches.
Whitaker's Almanac gives the average
for Scotsmen as 5 feet 81 inches ;
Irishmen, feet S inches; Englishmen,
5 feet ~ inches; Welshmen, 5 feet 6h
inches. The United States public
health service has estimated the aver
age height of men in this country as
5 feet s inches. The Swedes are
listed as having an average height Of
5 feet z inches. Deniker's "The
Races of Man" says that high stature
is limited to northern Europe, north
ern America, Polynesia and Africa ;
the true home of low stature popula-
lions Is Indo-China, japan and the
Malay Archipelago, but it Is also met
with in some South American tribes,
the Negrillo pigmies and the Bushmen
of Africa, the Dravidians and the Kols
of India and in western Siberia.

An elected" King

No more do kings ride forth to
battle leading their soldiers to vic
tory-that belongs to the glamorous
days of long ago. The last of the
great fighting monarchs was John III,
who ruled Poland about 300 years
ago, says the Philadelphia Record
Unlike most rulers, he did not inherit
his title, but was elected king in rec
ognition of his great services to his
country. He was born John Sobieski,
son of Polish nobleman. Almost his
entire life was spent fighting the enc
mics of his country-Turks, Swedes,
Tartars and Russians, all of whom
coveted his country's fertile plains
In single year he won 20 pitched
battles against the Turks, and once
was victorious in 17-day battle, in
which his forces were outnumbered
to 1.

Locomotive Whistle Has
Language All Its Own

Locomotives started learning to talk
more than 100 years ago. says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. At first they
could only whistle a warning to the
fellow on the track ahead. Then they
began to talk to each other, to their
brakemen back in the caboose, to train
men in sidings and yards.
Every railroad has whistles made to
its Individual specifications, their dis
tinctive tones varying with the diam
eter and length Of the tubes.
Railroaders who know locomotive
talk sometimes spend restless nights
back in the sleepers, conscious of every
signal blast. A succession Of short,
sharp toots tells them there's some OBJ
stacle on the track just ahead. A
single short whistle precedes applica-
ton Of brakes, and two medium blasts
mean brakes are being released. A
medium and three short notes send the
flagman back to protect the rear Of a
stalled train.
To call him back the engineer sounds
four medium whistles If the train is
eastbound and five If it is westbound.
One long whistle salutes a station
ahead, end two medium and short
blast signal the approach to railway
crossing. One short and one medium
whistle direct the crew to inspect a
leaking train line, and three medium
blasts should worry any wakeful rail-
readers aboard; it is the signal that
car has broken loose from the train.
Railway whistles at first were just
tin post horns borrowed from stage
coach days. The engineer blew his own
horn. But in 1882 farmer driving his
egg cart across the misunderstanding
ton railroad tracks in England ignored
the engineers frantic toots and, al
though he escaped alive, his eggs were
scrambled. So the railroad hitched the
post horn to steam and created the
steam trumpet. Then, in 1885, it adopt
ed the steam whistle. Since then end
less research has adapted whistles to
the peculiar conditions Of the railroad.

1t Is a Sensible Custom to
Serve at Regular
Meal Hour.

Herewith is given menu for q
very simple club luncheon. to be
served before the afternoon bridge
1t is such a sensible custom to serve
a luncheon at a regular meal hour
instead Of refreshments at an hour
which will be so near dinner time
that appetite is lost.
Another good reason for serving
beforehand is that most women feel
it necessary to get home before the
children's supper hour, and when
there is a distance to be travelled,
they are anxious to leave as soon as
the game is over.
AS far as the hostess herself is
concerned, it is usually easier for her
to serve before bridge than after.
She can then play her hand without
worry as to whether the coffee is
boiling over or the sandwiches dry
ing out.
For club that Is original in its
idea Of what may be served at
luncheon, the hostess of the day in
vited the eight members to a break
fast party served at ten o'clock. She
provided melon as a fruit course
and then served coffee, small baked
sausages, creamed potatoes and waf-
fes. There were plenty Of waffles
and they made the dessert as well
when the sirup was passed.
Another woman, who had been
sent a Virginia ham from her south
ern home, gave her guests ham and
eggs and hot waffles with grapefruit
as a starter.
The clever hostess does not feel
that she must follow accepted for
mulas for refreshments for her par
ties, and her guests always agree
with her.

HOEY NOMINATION
CLAIMED AS SURE
Will Be Biggest Primary
Majority Ever Given,
Hubert Olive Says

Raleigh, July denomination of
Clyde r. Hoey by the largest major
ity ever accorded any candidate in a
Democratic primary in North Caro-
lima is predicted by Hubert E. Olive,
State manager for the Shelby can
didate for governor.
II have no hesitation of reservation
in making this forecast" said Mr..
Olive. "It is based on reports from all
parts of the state and upon informa
ton received from the same sources
which enabled me to predict accurate
ly the vote Mr.. HOey would receive
in the first primary"
When Mr.. Olive, shortly before the
June voting predicted that Mr. Hoey
would lead DR.. Mcdonald most OBJ
servers put it down to the natural OPP
timism of a campaign manager, but
when returns from the polls showed
Mr.. Olive to be right, he gained quite
reputation as a political fOrecaSter.
Accordingly more than a little faith
is being put in his latest prediction
AS the campaign closes, it becomes
OBVIOUS to most impartial observers
that the Mcdonald drive reached it's
peak some three weeks before the
first primary and that the defeat of
the WinstonSalem man in the first
round seriously handicapped his sec
Ond primary efforts. Nowhere has he
been able to stir his followers to the
same pitch of almost religious zeal
which animated many of them prior
to the June 9Th voting. AS a result,
canny political bookmakers are offer
i'm hot M, univ,
on July 9TH, though it is conceded
that uncertainty exists by reason of
the anticipated difficulty in getting
a large vote to the polls on a day or
dinarily set aside for holiday excur-
sions and general recreation.
The closing week of the campaign
has seen DR.. Mcdonald making wild
er and wilder claims with each new
address, So reckless of the truth has
he become that two of his leading
newspaper sponsors, the News and
Observer, of Raleigh, and the Win
| tOn-Journal and Sentinel were forced
| tC carry retractions and apologies for
| one of his statements in which he
viciouSly attacked the banking de-
| partment
HOey supporters are awaiting the
voting with full confidence in the re-
suit. They feel that McDonaldism will
be sunk beneath a wave of ballots
such as rarely has swamped a major
candidate in North Carolina. The west
ern counties, in which Mir. Hoey re-
| gistered such tremendous pluralities
on June 6, are even more enthusiast
| tically for him now and recent sur
vey by John Baskervill, Raleigh news
bureau head whose impartiality is
| generally recognized, indicates that
Hcey will carry 50 Of Sc counties west
CT Durham, and % of Al east of the
Bull city, leaving only % of the 100
North Carolina counties in the Nc
| Donald column. IS
Mr. Baskervll es Inmates that Hoey
will receive a majority in the west of
not less than 10000, while his eastern
forecast gives Mcdonald a slight lead
which will not under any circum-
stances exceed $500. On the basis of
these figures Mr.. Hoey should win 10y
about $500 in a total vote not to ex-
coed $4,000, according to all indica-
| tons.
