Rockville Marines
Are In Training
At Camp Richie
So Montgomery County Men In
Company Commanded By
Capt. Ralph M. King

The officers and men of Company
"F," 9Th Battalion, Fleet Marine
Corps Reserve, with headquarters at
Rockville, embarked upon their per-
iod of annual training last Sunday,
August 18th. The local company,
under command of Capt. Ralph M.
King, with strength of 55 Montgom-
cry County men, joined the Marine
Corps Truck Convoy of 9Th Battal-
ion troops at 10 o'clock at the Rock
vile High School. The Battalion
then proceeded to Camp Albert c..
Richie, Cascade, Maryland, wher e
the officers and men began their 10
day training period under the COM
mand of Maj. Harvey L. Miller.
This being the first year the Bat
talon has trained at Camp Albert C.
Richie, there was a great stir of
hum, excitement and interest at
Rockville Headquarters over the COM
ing fortnight to be spent there. Camp
Richie is considered one of the fin
est posts in the Country and will af-
ford a very advantageous training
area for the activities of the Battal-
ion. 1t was with keen appreciation
of the opportunities afforded, an am
bition of the personnel of the Com
pany to better their rating as a
crack unit of the Fleet Marine Corps
Reserve and to uphold the character
istics and traditions of the Marine
Corps, that they embarked Sunday.
During their first eleven days in
Camp, the men of Rockville Company
will receive training in those requi-
sites of a soldier, i. e., customs of
the Service, general bearing and con-
duct; musketry; firing on the range;
School Of the Soldier; bayonet drill;
gas instruction, use Of THOMPSON
machine gun, Browning machine
gun, bush warfare problems, etc.
Our men on the twelfth day in Camp
will represent the enemy In an at
tack combat maneuver. This is look
ed forward to with a great deal Of
interest and it is the intention Of our
Company to "hold its fort" to the
fast.
On Saturday, August 20, as a eli
max to the Annual Field Training
Period, there will be formal pres
entation Of eighteen trophies and
awards to those companies and men
who have proven their superior skill
in competition throughout the per-
iod. This will be followed by Sun
set parade in honor of Brig. Gen.
Richard P. Williams, U. s. M. c.,
General Officer in charge Of the Re
serves. This will terminate the Bat
talion's activities and our Marines
will embark for their headquarters
at Rockville, Sunday morning, Au-
gust 30.

Royal Order Of The
Coin Dipper Revived
By Local Bankers

The Supreme Royal Order of the
Carriers of the Coin-Dipper was re-
vived here recently when Mrs. Win
ME Ricketts, of the Montgomery
County National Bank, was elected
Supreme Mover and Jimmie White,
of the Farmers Banking and Trust
Company, Supreme Keeper.
Although the order died out dur
ing the World War, when Wall Street
bankers lost the dipper overheard
between New York and Marseilles
it was revived for a short time by
Andrew Mellon. It became too ar
chaic for the New Deal, although
Harry Hopkins tried it out for a
week.
According to the best books on the
subject, the coin-dipper came into
use shortly after the Lydians invent
ed the use of pieces of gold and sill
yer as a medium of exchange. Homer
wrote of brass money in 1884 B. C.
and at about the same time it is
generally agreed the coin-dipper was
first put to a test. Nero got many
laugh from the boys around the
market place with his quips about
the runners in the Tiber National.
julius Caesar, the first Italian
monarch to covet Ethiopia, sought
permission of the Senate to have his
picture engraved on coins. All agreed
but Billimus Borah. The coin-dipper
came into wide usage when Caesar
started paying off his troops in real
money. The dipper held roughly
about a half-peck and it required
two men to handle it when filed to
capacity. It was also used to serve
wine to the thirsty cavalrymen who
hated to dismount in full armor. At
ter the fall Of Mexico at the hands
of Cortez, little is heard Of the dip
per until the Morgans and the Du-
Points got into the banking business.
They needed larger dippers and SO,
an implement holding about two
bushels and mounted on crane, was
invented. From March, 1888, until
recently, the dipper has been prac-
tically nonresident, the one possess
ed by the local banks being rare
specimen.
Charter members Of the local chap
ter include Bill Riggs, Johnny Will
son, Elmer orme, Tony Darby, Geo.
Peter, Skinny Mason, Charles Israel,
Mrs. Lyndell Bogley, Mrs. Helen
Stone, and Mrs. Lorene Stimek. The
national convention will be held in
the Treasury Building next Spring.

and DR.. Townsend. Yet, sad to say,
there are thousands in other sections
Of our nation who believe heartily in
the rantings Of any wild-eyed orator

Put Eyes i'm Swiss Cheese.

THE making Of Swiss cheese, one
u of the most intricate operations
of the milk products manufacturer, is
to be given serious study this year by
the Department of Agriculture.
There has been a steady growth in
the production Of this type cheese, but
| the results so far attained have been
below what the department believes
can be had. However. in the past 20
years production has been trebled and
now Is six times as great as the i'm
portation of Swiss cheese from
Switzerland.
The department has perfected two
laboratories on wheels which will visit
cheese plants in Wisconsin and
Ohio, where most of this type is made,
to aid in improving the output. Other
States will be visited also. but as
these two turn out about three-fourths
of the production, they will receive
most attention.
| BY bringing the laboratory to the
cheese factory, the Bureau of Dairy
Industry hopes to demonstrate the
advantages of using the scientific
processes it has developed. Few of the
Swiss cheese factories have adequate
laboratory equipment. If the cheese
maker, for example. is experiencing
trouble with his bacteria cultures they
can be readily examined in the travel
ing laboratory. Bacteria are indis-
pensable in the making of Swiss
cheese, but they may also be respon-
sible for many defects as we'll as for
many of the troubles encountered in
its manufacture.

Accurate ThrOwS
Are Rewarded in
BrOOmSticR Gam e

A GAME where there's chance to
win something-thats the sort
Of a game that is, and any num-
Der of players may get in it.
The first thing to do is to dig
hole, 6 inches In diameter and 6
inches deep. A 15-inch piece Of
broomstick is then placed in the GEN.
ter of this hole and driven into the
ground until it projects only or 2
inches above the hole.
! When this has been done, one player
is chosen keeper" and he places some
object Of his own on the top o. the
stick-a marble, top, or some other
inexpensive toy. The rest Of the
players take their station 20 feet from
the stick and, procuring pieces of
broomstick inches long. throw these
sticks at the object resting on the
stick in the ground.
Any player who succeeds in knock
ing the object from the upright stick
in the ground with his own fail, may
keep the prize thus won. However,
the object must fall outside of the
hole to be claimed as a prize. A
player who merely hits the upright
stick with his own will seldom win,
because the object is almost certain
to fall into the hole when this is done
If the prize is still on the stick
after all the players have had three
throws at it, the keeper may take it up
and choose who is to be the next
| keeper.

Watch It Is One
Trick Which Uses
Mental Principle
By Thomas the Magician.

By Thomas the Magician.
TODAY I'm going to describe one Of
the tricks in the mental" class.
In giving you "Watch-It," I believe
that you have a trick with a principle
that may be applied to scores of others.
Effect: While the performer is out
of the room, the audience selects some
small object such as pencil, a ring,
coin or a matchbox. This object is
placed on a table for a few seconds
while a person Is chosen as the sub
ject for the rest of the experiment.
This chosen person picks up the object
and puts it in his pocket, whereupon
the magician, or mind reader" Is
called into the room.
The performer now tells the specta-
tors that by merely laying watch
on the table and having each one
touch it, he can, through his mental
control" tell them just exactly which
one has the object in his Tor herr
pocket, which he does with the
greatest Of ease.
Explanation: This seems extremely
mystifying, but it is really quite sim
pie. To perform this mental feat,
an assistant in the audience is neces-
sary. What the object is, and which
person is chosen to put the object
in his or her pocket, has absolutely
nothing whatever to do with the me-
chanical working of the trick. The
direct modus operandi comes when
the watch Is placed on the table and

Inventor Wins Ne,U LaurelS
With Dog Power Hdirbrush

%HE latest invention of Prof. M.
T. Noodle, mechanical wizard
and scientist extraordinary, is
l. dog power hairbrush. which
we present this week with much pride
and the full approval Of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
CANNES.
The story of how Prof. Noodle
came to invent this boon to mankind
is an interesting one-or was, until we
tried to tell it. It seems that the pro-
fessor has been worrying for weeks
at the terrible waste caused by all the
dogs in the country wagging their
tails and accomplishing nothing, ex-
cept slight agitation of the atmos-
phere which did nobody any good.
The professor worried about this
until his hair started to turn gray.
Gazing mournfully at his gray hair
one day, he picked up a brush to
smooth it down. and just then his pet
lion hound (so-called because he's
good for nothing but lion around
wagged his tail. Eureka! The pro-
fessor had his great idea.
The dog hairbrush is simplicity it
self to operate. The porcupine (A

how mad a wet hen is, or We won't

First Women's College.

OBERLIN was the first college in
this country to open its doors to
higher education for women. From
the start the co-educational movement
has expanded until nine out Of every
ten universities and colleges admit
women to their courses.
The English were the first to estab-
lish a woman's college to be affiliated
with a mans college. Girton College,
associated with Cambridge, pointed the
way for this development.
Vassar was the first college estab-
lished in this country for women ex.

Seek Harmless POisOns.

|ONE of the important problems fac
ing Government experts in their
campaign against insect pests and dis
ease which attack various food plants
is to find efficient poisons which, while
deadly to insect life, are not in any
way harmful to mankind.
Scientists are now exploring the
field Of organic chemistry rather than
inorganic and considerable success has
already accompanied their efforts.
Some preparations have been made
from plant life and others developed
from natural gas and petroleum.
Perhaps the most important inor-
ganic compound for which substitutes
are needed, Lee A. Strong, chief of the
Bureau of Entomology. says. Is lead
arsenate, long considered the most
effective insecticide for the codling
moth and other destructive fruit and
vegetable pests. Lead arsenate is now
losing favor with growers because it
does not give as good control as is ex-
pected Of it and also because it may
leave two Objectionable elements-lead
and arsenic-on sprayed or busted
food products. These residues must
be removed to meet the requirements
OF Federal and State pure food laws.
Large-scale tests now under way, and
likely. in some cases, to run through
the 1886 growing season, it is hoped,
will confirm the results. obtained un-
der experimental conditions, which
indicate that new materials may be
effective.
The most promising insecticide Of
plant origin for use against the
codling moth is nicotine, an alkaloid
that occurs in tobacco. The search
for a nicotine compound not easily
| washed off from sprayed fruit and
foliage by rain-an Objectionable fea-
ture of the nicotine compounds pre-
viously tested-led to the preparation
Of nicotine peat-a combination OF
nicotine and powdered peat. Peat,
acidic in nature, combines with nico-
tine. a base. but in different propor-
tions, depending on the nature of the
peat. Pretreatment Of most peats
with acid improves their combining
power and appears also to increase
the proportion of nicotine that is not
soluble in water, which Is a quality
highly desirable in sprays for use
against the codling moth. Prelimi-
nary tests show that nicotine peat is
very poisonous to larvae of this insect.
The bureau will give nicotine peat a
thorough test.
Preparations containing rotenone-
natural principle of derris and cube,
plants of the Far East and South
America-are now used in many parts
of the United States for some insect
pests. Certain disadvantages, how
ever. bar their use for some types of
insects. For example. derris is not
effective against all insects. 1t is not
effective against the celery-leaf tier.
1t repels, but has no other effect, on
the semi-tropical army worm. 1t
does kill the common cabbage worm,
however. Like many organic COM
pounds, rotenone and related COM
pounds are rather easily destroyed by
sunlight. Although toxic to codling
moth larvae in the laboratory, rote-
none preparations, exposed to light
and air in a thin spray Aim. decom-
pose too rapidly for economical use.

1t was the work of only a few mo-
ments to knot two sheets into an
effective rope. Then, as noiselessly as
possible, they climbed out on the porch
roof and crept across it to the edge.
The capital at the top OF the pillar
provided place to tie the rope. Bill
