TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Feb. 25, 1682-Giovanni Battista
Morgagni was born in Forli, Italy, de-
stined to wait until 70 before he won
fame Then, with a rambling book of
letters, De Sedibus ct Causis Morbo-
rum Con the Seats and Causes of Di-
sease) he became the founder of path
ology and a scientific immortal. He
was first to identify and describe
once and for all, pneumonia, apoplexy
and scores of other diseases.
Feb IS, 1795-Union College was in
corporated. This Schenectady, N. Y.
institution is noteworthy because it
was the first interdenominational col
lege in North America.
100 Years Ago Today-21-yearold
Samuel Colt obtained a patent on the
revolver. He had conceived it seven
years before while cabinbOy on a
runaway voyage to India.
The Army rejected it, there were
few other purchasers, and the manu-
featuring company Colt organized
went into bankruptcy. But western
frontiersmen found the siX-shOoters
indispensable, and Gen. Zachary Tay-
lor wrote from the Mexican War for
a supply. Colt had parted with the
last one, and had to advertise to get
one to serve as model.
Observers from foreign armies who
saw it in use in the Mexican war
caused it to be adopted quickly
throughout the world; and it became
Judge, jury and executioner" in the
winning of the west.
Colt himself was poor shot
Feb. Is, 1919-Legislators made a
major tax discovery. Oregon imposed
the first tax on gasolene cent a
gallon-in the country.
Now every territorial division ex-
cept District of Columbia has gas
taxes, and they total more than $780,
100000 a year.

by Central Press Association

Attributed to him is the immortal
verdun phrase, "They shall not pass!'
But Petain didn't say it. A subordi-
nate, Nivelle, addressed note to
commanders to be read to the troops
in which he said: 1.-THE Germans are
launching furious and desperate at
tacks against Verdun You will
not let them pass, comrades"
AS this was read, troops took UP
the cry, Ills ne passeront past" (They
shall not pass).
A new and serious problem was i'm
mediately added to those shifted up
on Petain. On this day the Germans
had their first striking success with
flame-throwers in the Bots d'Avocourt
sector of the Verdun front. The short
range weapons made the areas before
them untenable for every living thing
by actual burning and heating the
surrounding air to an intolerable tenn,
perature.

ANSWERS

AN'9VV GIOO
1. In 1879 when when the Lords
Proprietors instructed acting Cover
nor John Harvey to organize the able
bodied men of the colony. Until 1886
members Of the militia were required
to furnish their own arms. In that
year the National Government assum-
ed this obligation. For several years
following the Civil War there was no
militia except as provided Governor
Holden's militia bill of 1868. In 1872
Governor Caldwell called the atten-
ton of the legislature to this and
John G. German, representative from
Wake, introduced a militia bill, but
it died in the committee. The next
year a militia bill was passed. A re-
organization was effected in 1877, and
the name changed to the North Car
DINA National Guard in 1908.
2. To pass special acts for stabiliz-
ing Confederate currency The Con-
federate Congress had recently pass
cd acts dealing with certain issues of
currency. Virginia Immediately passed
laws prohibiting tax collectors in that
State from accepting certain issues of
currency on the payment of taxes. A
Richmond bank had refused to accept
this currency. Governor Vance and
North Carolina took the opposite
view and passed acts requiring the
acceptance of all issues of Confeder-
ate currency.
3. In 1909, by legislative act. Twen-
| ty-fivc percent of the locomotives
were to be equipped by April /, 1910,
and twenty-five percent each year for
three years. Locomotives in operation
exclusively between sun up and sun
down, and independently owned and
operated roads of not over 1875 miles
were excepted.
| 4. In 1868 the legislature provided
THAT the ends of justice, public
morals and preservation of order, de-
mand that the exception of all CAPT
tai offenders should be made private
and invested with the solemnity ap
| propriate to the final act of pena
law" Hangings were to be within in
closures and mot more than thirty
six, nor less than eighteen respectable
| citizens were to be admitted by
| ticket
5. The Provincial Congress met al
Halifax in 1776, and on April 12tl
adopted resolution empowering the
North Carolina delegates to the Con
tinental Convention at Philadelphia
to concur with delegates from Othel
colonies in declaring independence.
6. 1t must be signed by the presto
ing officers of both houses-the hous
and the senate.
