WHISTLING BUOY NO. 8, At
lantic Ocean, July 81. U.P)-While
perched out here in the ocean
with my fine feathered seagull
pal, Fordyce, waiting Tor Ranger
and Endeavour the Twice to come
into view, I jotted down a list
of the rules and regulations for
the Americas cup races which
started today.
These rules, which were original
ly drafted by delegates from the
sons and daughters of T. viii Arise,
the guild of bear rug opticians
(they are the craftsmen who put
those glass eyes in bear rugs
the Mississippi chapter of the
United Tire Vulcanizers' union,
and a gentleman who once had
the honor of sitting at the cap
tain's table on Coney Island ex-
curSion boats, have a double value.
When the cup races end they have
only started to become useful
They are reversible, indestructi-
BILE, fire-proof, and have inter-
changeful cuffs. Used as a house
hold guide they will bring harmony
in the family, and on cooks night
out they can be scrambled and
served up for supper.
Here they are:
Anyone caught shooting at al
batross on the course will be fore
ed to attend all seven races, and
no written excuses from mama
will be accepted.
All spectators boats must carry
building blocks, mechanical con-
structiOn sets, sand pile and
swing for the treatment of pass
engers overcome by boredom.
Each spectator boat must be
equipped with curved binoculars
to enable the customers to see the
boats when they are over the hor-
izon, which they usually are.
Amy ambergris found 10y spec
tators must be turned over to the
race committee. The ambergris will
be converted into perfume, which
will be used to revive hotel guests
when they are presented with
their bills at the END or the races.
Children under ten years of age,
with the exception of Tennessee
child brides, must be accompanied
by their parents. Parents who
bring children under ten, however,
will be promptly charged with
cruelty to minors.
Those spectators who, after two
hours of watching a race, jump
overheard and start swimming
ashore, must not cross abaft the
beam Of a contender. Those Violat-
ing this rule will be made to wear
all summer long, a pair of long
made from the protest
flag which the offended skipper
will Immediately hoist.
No Intoxicating beverages will
be sold except between the hours
Of midnight and noon, and noon
and midnight. Kindly refrain from

out luggage must pay in advance,
and do not play cards with strang-
ers.
Now you're all set for the races.

Natural Acid May Be
Used to Protect Plants

London.-Arsenic, lead, cop
per and other mineral poisons
now used to protect plants
against fungus, bacterial and
insect enemies may find prac-
ticable and harmless replace
ment in an acid naturally
formed by living plants, sug-
sests Maurice Copisarow, Man
chester biologist.
The substance is known as maleic
acid. Experiments have shown that
it exercises an inhibitory effect on
the growth of micro-organisms OF
decay, and Mr.. Copisarow suggests
that its effect may extend also to
viruses hidden in dormant seeds
and to insects in early stages of de-
velopment. This same natural in
hibitor, he adds, is probably trans
formed into the natural accelerator
of fruit ripening, ethylene, by q
chemical change involving the lib

maleic acid may be applied as a
spray in some suitable neutral oily
medium Unlike the mineral poi

How Did "Bonus" Originate +?
@ Western Newspaper Union.

HE bonus checks paid out re-
= Gently to our veterans of the
World war gladdened the heart of
many an ex-soldier. While this
bonus was undoubtedly the biggest
given by any country in the history
of the world, it was by no means the
first.
The word "bonus" comes from
Latin and means good. It has al
ways been used in English in the
sense of gift. In Great Britain it
was first applied to dividends dis
tributed from the surplus of life in
surance companies. In America it
was used in the industrial and COM
mercial world to designate a pay
ment above that expected, whether
an extra dividend to stockholders
or an extra pay check to wage
earnerS.
Later the term was applied to
sums of money given to men as an
lnducement to join the army, and
only since the World war has it
been given to compensation for
army or naval service. The original
veterans adjustment compensation,
granted to all World war veterans
by congress in 1924, was a bonus
in the form of a paid-up endow-
ment insurance policy.
While never called that before,
the practice of giving bonuses for
military service is an old one. Even
George Washington received a par
eel of land and a sum of money
from the state of Virginia for his
part in the French and Indian war.
And Abraham Lincoln was given
piece of land in Iowa for his
services in the Blackhawk war.
Except for his home in Springfield,
Illinois, it was about the only real
estate he ever owned.
