The Thrill of Commerce
Sooner or later, RR hears of a
lot of things-and in this case it
was later, but it's still very good
story. When Mr.. and Mrs. j. G..

Jacumba for the Fourth of July,
one remained behind. He was Rob
Roy, whose loyalty was torn Ioe-
tween Jacumba and fireworks

Origin of "COn"

There have been advanced a num-
Der of stories as to the origin of the
word coop" as applied to police
men. The word cop is supposed to
be derived from the Old English
verb to cop, meaning to catch, to
get hold of, to nab. This meaning is
retained in the slang expression to
cop off, meaning to grab; to make
away with something sought by 9TH
ers. In England, policeman is Of
ten called a copper, that is, one
who cops or catches offenders. AS
applied to policeman, the word
cop dates back to 1859. The verb
cop, as used in dialect English, has
been traced back to the Seventeenth
century. There is no evidence that
cop was originally the abbreviation
of constabulary of police. Another
story of the origin of the word is
connected with the following: In 1929
Sir Robert Peel organized the first
modern police force in London.
Members of the police force wore
blue uniforms with very large cop
per buttons.

Forcing Breeding Hens
Bv Increasing Protein

Forcing breeding hens by in
creasing the amount of protein in,
the ration may be done with no ILL
effects if an abundance of green
feed is supplied. Recent expert
ments conducted at the Oklahoma
agricultural experiment station
show that the mortality of the breed
ers fed green feed was not increased
by forcing, observes a writer in,
Successful Farming. Green feed pro-;
tects the Matching qualities of eggs
produced by forced breeders. Ra-.
tions with protein content as high
as % per cent may be fed without
injury to the hatchability of eggs if
sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, or some
other green feed is fed each day.
Where forcing is done by increasing
the protein in the feed and using
lights, the use of green feed is espe-'
cially important to maintain good
advances in the total egg produc-.
ton.

TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND 9TH
Err SUMMER WORKERS COME
UNDER SOCIAL SECURITY LAW

Students or teachers who take va
cation jobs this summer as walters,
musicians, bellhops or engage in any
other employment not specifically ex-
cepted by the Social Security Act are
workers within the meaning of the
old-age benefits provisions of the
law, Luther Becker, Manager of the
Baltimore Field Office of the Social
Security Board at 800 Court Square
Building, states.
Both students and teachers who
engage in covered employment DUE
ing the summer must obtain Social
Security Account numbers. Appli
cations for such numbers may be OBJ
tanned from the nearest post Office Or
from a Social Security Board office.
The information called for on this
application form-SS-5-is neces-
sary to insure proper wage record
will be established for the applicant
The information will be held conf
Dental
"a wage record is kept throughout
the life of the individual worker un-
til he reaches the age of IS and re-
tires to receive monthly old-age ben
efits. To qualify for old-age benefits
a worker need not be employed con
tinuously. The wages received dur
ing each period of employment from
each employer determine the amount
of his monthly benefits check, which
will go to him as a matter of right
when he becomes eligible.
1.-THE youthfulness of worker
does not enter into the question. Nor
does it matter that job may be a
temporary one, or an extra job, 'on
the side. Unless the employment is
specifically excepted in the Social Sc
curity Act the worker must have a
Social Security Account Number and
his employer is liable for payment
of the taxes levied in the Act.
High school students who are
graduated this month, and others
who intend to seek work during the
summer, should get social security
account numbers and file their num-
bers with their employers. Workers
should keep their cards"

LACK TRAINING AND JUDGMENT

The most dangerous group of dri-
vers, according to statictics, is the
group which ought to be the safest:
The so-called ''teen-age" class.
When a person of eighteen or young
err has an accident it is almost al
ways a serious one. 1t is AZ per cent
more likely to be fatal than if an
older driver were involved.
In the opinion of authorities, the
chief difficulty is that young people
who drive cars lack both training
and judgment. They have had no
formal instruction behind the wheel.
Usually they learn to drive by watch
ing older persons or a young COM
panion. In this way they learn bad
practices along with good ones, and,
being young, they are apt to exag-
gerate the bad and minimize the
good. AS one bad apple contamin-
ates barrel, one poor driver can
create dozens of worse ones if he
attempts the role of teacher.
Fortunately, the high schools of
the nation are recognizing respon-
sibility for these facts. According
to the safety education division Of
the National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters, some five thou
sand high schools in more than half
the states are now giving instruc-
lions in the principles of traffic safe
ty. Some schools are actually teach
ing their students how to drive by
giving real road training in real cars.
Three states, California, Indiana and
North Carolina, have made such in
struction compulsory, while state de-
partments of education in % states
have issued model courses of study
in traffic safety. The subject of
good driving has become the fastest
growing movement in the history Of
American education.

Annie Laurie Home Held
bv the Family Since 1911

The home of the famous Annie
Laurie, the heroine of the Scottish
ballad sung in every corner of the
world, is known as the estate of
Maxwelton, Dumfrieshire, Scotland.
The ownership of this property goes
back more than 300 years, says a
writer in the New York Herald
Tribune.
Maxwelton House, originally a
fortress of the Earls of Glencairn
and known as Glencairn castle, has
been in the hands of the Laurie
family since 1911.
Seventy-one years later, in 1882,
Anna was born, the daughter of Sir
Robert Laurie. The first Baronet
Douglas of England, the author of
the original words of the ballad, was
her first sweetheart, but the engage
ment was broken off, and in 1909
she married Alexander Ferguson,
of Craigdarroch, a neighboring es-
tate. Her picture and that of her
husband hang in the dining room
at Maxwelton.
There are 1900 acres in the prop
erty, which overlooks the Cairn
river. In the house there are four
reception rooms, two boudoirs, fiji
teen bed or dressing rooms, two
bathrooms and servants accom-
mediation.

LABOR DEADLOCK

The deadlock between the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
and the Republic, and other steel
concerns continued last week to hold
one-sixth of the nations steel indus
try in its grip.
Company claims that most OF the
10000 men on strike wanted to go
back to work were both loud and
long. Several anti-C. l. o. unions
conducted straw-votes showing that
their members were opposed to the
strike. The strongest anti-strike
sentiment appeared among employee
es of the Republic plant in Monroe,
Mich, where company officials claim
ed that all but 20 workers had voted
to return to the mill.
Union leaders branded these
"back-to-work" movements as COM
pany inspired and compared them
with the Mohawk Valley formula
used to crush strikes in the Reming-
ton Rand typewriter factories. The
formula, they said, included the
stirring up of public opinion against
strikers, formation of phantom"
unions to profess anti-strike senti-
ment among the workers, and the use
of deluded police and sheriffs to
break picket lines by force.
Federal authorities were embroil-
ed when Tom Girdler, president OF
Republic, telegraphed Postmaster
General James A. Farley in protest
against the refusal of Illinois post
Offices to send packages of food into
the struck mills. Postal authorities
insisted that they were within their
rights and would continue their re-
fusal policy despite Girdlers threats
to sue.
A direct appeal for White House
intervention from unionists of the
Chicago area was quickly tossed by
the President into the lap of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board. The
board also found the issue too hot to
handle and contented itself with the
ambiguous statement that "a signed
contract is usually regarded by the
union as necessary protection"
Through all these exchanges, no
hope of settlement appeared.

Amber Is Petrified Gum

Amber is light translucent SUBJ
stance, pale yellow or brownish in
color. It is the petrified gum of
trees of the pine family. 1t is usu-
ally found washed up on the shores
of certain seas, such as the Baltic,
Adriatic, and China. In most cases.
it appears in rounded Jumps up to
ten pounds in weight. The use of
amber for ornaments is very old,
being traced back to the Stone age.
Amber beads, etc., have been found
in prehistoric remains in Switzer-
land, Egypt and Assyria. The Greek
name for amber was "Elektron,"
from which we got our word "Elec-
tricity," as amber becomes electri-
fed when rubbed. Insects, such
as flies, are often found in Jumps
of amber; they got entangled in the
gum and became fossilized with it,

FARM TENANCY LEGISLATION

A committee of the Democratic
Steering Committee, headed by Con-
gresham T. Alan Goldsborough, as
chairman. called on the President on
Wednesday to discuss with him the
feasibility of Farm Tenancy Legis-
lation at this Session of Congress.
The sense of the meeting was that
experimental legislation should be
passed at this Session, to be develop
ed and enlarged at the next Session
and later. An initial appropriation
CT from ten to fifteen million dollars
was indicated.
The ultimate purpose of the legis-
lation is to increase the number of
owners among those living on farms
and to help present tenants who de-
sire to purchase farms to do 80.

NATIONS DEFAULT WAR DEBT

War debt installments totaling
$500, 100000 fell due June 18th
from 13 European countries, but
there was no sign of settlement.
Only Finland, owing $163,143,
announced it's intention of paying
promptly as usual. ALI the other
countries have been in default since
1888.
Recent expressions in France and
Great Britain Of hope that something
might be done soon about a settle
ment Of the war debt problem have
not be followed by any official action.
OF the total bill, $2O5,338,754 is
the regular semi-annual installment
and $1,314,S21,109 represents pay
ments in arrears.
The debt represents advances by
this Government for the purchase
here of munitions, clothing and food
during and after the World War.
1t will amount to $4,000, 600, 900,
with accumulated interest and prin-
cipal at the end of the 62-year period
of payments established in the orig
inal funding agreements.
Before the general default began,
payments to this country on the total
debt had amounted to $2,6O2, 1885,
400.

History Of Coined Money
Dates to About 900 B. C..

The selection of gold and silver for
the principal monetary purposes
was due to their adaptability. In adj
dition to their being desirable, OBJ
serves a writer in the Indianapolis
News, they possess the following
qualities demonstrated to be requi-
site to a just and equitable medium
of value: Relative scarcity, porta-
bility Containing large values in a
small bulk), durability, homogeneity
Cor uniformity, divisibility (capa-
BILE of being divided into small parts
and again united without apprecia-
BILE loss).
The use of the metals as money
by weight proved a cumbersome
process, and a coming device was
introduced, probably by the Greeks
about 900 B. c. The bank check
came into use as means of saving
the transfer of coined money. The
bank note is an evolution of these
preceding forms, being a promise
of the bank to pay the specified
amount on demand. The Bank of
Sweden is credited with having first
issued this form of money in 1858.
The scarcity of gold and silver, the
need of bills of exchange and of a
money more convenient to carry,
and the issuance of government
credits forced on bankrupt nations
brought about the use of paper mon
ey in European countries, Colonial
America early adopted this medium
of exchange from the English.
Paper money in America first was
issued by Massachusetts in 1890.
The object was not to supply any
supposed lack of a medium for
trade, but to satisfy the demands of
some clamorous soldiers. The first
issue of money under authority of
the Continental congress was dated
May 10, TITS, but not placed in cir
culation until the following August.

Clean Water for Ponds

A location that will allow drain
age from only clean pasture or
meadow should be chosen for the.
farm pond, says Marion Clark of the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
Water from barnyards and lots
should never be allowed to drain in
to stock ponds. Where it is de-
sirable to construct a pond where
water from lots would normally
drain into it, terraces should be
used to intercept the contaminated
w;ter and carry it to another water
shed where it will not pollute the
pond water.

practices.
More automobiles are on the
highways than ever before" said
Robert E. Gambrill, Regional Super.
visor of the Club. This means thai
the chances for accident are increas'
ed. Unless motorists are extremely
cautious the child accident toll will
be heavy during the vacation period
We most urgently ask all drivers to
refrain from taking chances where
children are concerned.
''It should be recognized by motor
lists and parents that the hazard to
children is greater in the summer
months when they are freed from
the restraints and safety lessons in
the classrooms. Therefore. the duty
devolves upon drivers to be doubly
careful and upon parents to apply
the cautionary measures essential Il

Alert; never hurt"
ITO protect your lives and prevent
serious personal injuries" the latter
continues, tit will be necessary for
you to practice the safety rules you

Agricultural Notes

Hogs yield a greater proportion
of edible meat than any other meat
animals.
It is found that seven out of every
100 farm fires start when sparks
land on a roof.
Among spring-seeded pastures,
oats give the greatest pasturage in
the shortest time and at the least
cost.
Milk cows require from 100 to 300
pounds of water daily, it is stated by
the Missouri experiment station.
More than so kinds of fruits and
vegetables are of commercial i'm
portance in the United States.
For the past ten years the tobacco
crop in the United States has aver
aged about 1850, 100000 pounds,
grown on 1,740, 900 acres and having
an estimated farm value Of $2l4,-
100000.

Grain Mixture for Poultry

There are several grains or COM
binations of grains that give satisfac-
tory results, but the one most COM
monty used in all sections of this
state, says a North Carolina State
college poultryman, is composed Of
go per cent yellow corn and 40
per cent wheat. However, this ra-
ton should be largely governed by
what is grown on the farm, and the
cost of the grain which must be
purchased. Where there is an abun-
dance of heavy barley (48 pounds to
the busheD or heavy oats (38 pounds
to the busheD these may be substi-
tuted for a part of the corn and
wheat, but should never exceed 80
per cent of the grain mixture.
