AMERICAN BOY INTRODUCES A
NEW FOOTBALL GAME

In the early fall issues of THE
AMERICAN BOY there'll be present.
ed the story of new game-six-man
football-fast as professional foot
ball, wide open as basketball, thrill
ing as hockey!
The game came to life through
the need of small schools for some
substitute for 11-man football, which
was too expensive. Stephen Epler,
Nebraska graduate student in ath-
letics, developed the game Of six-man
football to meet this need. In six
man football anybody can score, the
possibility of injury from mass plays
is minimized, and, the game is open
enough for spectators to follow every
exciting development.
The new game is hit. New
schools are taking it up every day.
In coming issues THE AMERICAN
BOY tells the world about this prac
teal new game. In addition, it pre-
sents The American Boy Official
Handbook, which can be obtained
from the magazine at 20 cents a copy
or Is cents when bought in bulk.

AMERICAN BOY will be raised in

ton order at once to take advant-

Holding up the bridal party after
the wedding is common, especially
in old English villages. A flower
decked rope is stretched across the
street and kept there until the BRIDE
groom pays the toll to Cupid's high
waymen. In French Savoy when a
girl marries young man from an
other village, her friends barricade
the road until the groom "sets them
up" Far from resenting this GUS
tom, the bride judges her popularity
by the size of the crowd that stops
her.

Iceland Island Settled
in Part by Irish Monks

Iceland, an island in the north
Atlantic, has an area of SO, 709
square miles, nearly equal to that
of Kentucky. It is built up of vol
canic rocks, pierced by fjords and
gorges, creating rugged but beauti-
full scenery. Glaciers are numerous,
the largest being Vatna, which rises
6,400 feet above sea level.
The island was settled In part by
Irish monks toward the end of the
Eighth century, the Mortimer COM
ing 100 years later. Between $50
and 1864, relates a writer in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Iceland
was an independent republic, but
by the "Old Treaty" Of 1853 the
country recognized the rule of the
king of Norway. In 1881, Iceland,
together with Norway, came under
the rule of the Danish kings, but
when Norway was separated from
Denmark in 1914, Iceland remained
under the rule of Denmark. Since
December l, 1918, it has been ac-
knowledged as sovereign state,
and is united with Denmark only
through the identity of the sover-
eign.
During June and July there is
practically no night in Iceland. The
sun goes down for a few minutes
at midnight, but soon rises again.
Cattle raising is the leading occupa-
ton of the island. Sheep, Of which
millions are raised, are dirninutive
in size, their fleece being very thick.
The country has long been IA
NOUS for its culture and literary
activities.

MARYLAND LIVESTOCK FARMS
SURVEYED In NEW BULLETIN


One of the greatest needs in the
reorganization of crops on Maryland
livestock farms is the production of
legume hay, especially alfalfa hay,
it is pointed out by the University
of Maryland in bulletin recently
published by the Experiment: Station.
1t is stated that farmers who raise
this crop receive larger yields per
acre, have feed of superior value,
and greater acreage to devote to
grain crops.
In addition to- an increase in the
production of alfalfa hay the survey
recommends that livestock men give
careful consideration to the follow
ing factors:
The livestock enterprise could be
increased, both in size and in inten-
sity of operation, without adding
materially to the overhead expense.
A reorganization of crop enter
prise is essential to any increase in
the number of livestock a farm can
carry.
Hogs should be increased on the
average farm.
Wheat acreage should be reduced
to the extent that the additional
acres could be profitably given over
to feed grains, especially to corn and
barley.
Cannery crops are good money
makers on the average livestock
farm situated to handle them.
Profit from sheep would be materi-
ally increased by using good pure
bred rams, by breeding ewes for
early lambing SO that lambs will
be ready for market in May.
Small applications of lime and
fertilizer on pastures and correct
pasturing methods would go a long
way toward developing permanent
pastures that would be an asset
rather than a libility to the farm.
Farms having good brood mares
can well afford to raise more colts
as there is little cash outlay involved
and the mare is idle only a short
time.

Agricultural Notes
Total crop land in the country is
approximately 100000 acres.

Total crop land in the country is
approximately $4,000. 900 acres.
Cats, fed some milk at the barn,
usually take care of the mice.
Eggs generally weigh from % to
Is ounces to the dozen, but they
may vary from IS to 80 ounces.
About 10 acres out of every 80
acres of crop land in the United
States is planted to corn and about
one out of each SO is planted to cot
ton.
A serious problem of the poultry
industry is the lack of proper feath-
ering of broilers in many of the
heavy breeds.
Thorough grooming of horses
cleans and thins the hair and thus
reduces sweating and prevents ex-
cessive fatigue.
Milk Is one or the most valuable
feeds for poultry. Skinned and
buttermilk, if not diluted with wa
ter, are almost as valuable and
much cheaper than whole milk.
The, most practical method of
checking bindweed is to spray it
with sodium chlorate.
1t requires approximately 70 to IS
million pounds of animal protein to
raise to maturity the chicks Matched
annually in Oklahoma.
=
Size of the eggs is partly due to
the period of laying, partly to he
redity. Pullet eggs are small, but
increase in size as the pullets be-
come older until they reach full ma
.turity.

Horse Deaths From Heat
Can Be Reduced on Farm

Giving the farm work horses as
much consideration as possible dur
ing hot weather will 60 long way
in preventing horse deaths by heat
prostration, states H. G. Zavoral,
extension animal husbandman, Uni
versity farm, St. Paul.
Ordinarily many horses die from
heat prostration during the season,
but much of this can be prevented
by proper feeding and manage
ment. To reduce some of this loss,
care should be exercised in keep
ing the horses in good physical con-
dition. Keeping plenty of fresh salt
always available and giving each
horse bran mash once week or
adding about 10 per cent of bran to
the grain ration will help keep the
horses in good condition. Hay should
be fed, for grass alone is too wa
terry; at noon, however, hay should
be fed sparingly. After feeding at
night, horses will rest better if
turned out on pasture.
Watering the horses often is es-
sential during extreme hot weather,
every hour or so in the fields if pos
sible. Water can be taken to the
fields in barrels or cans. Horses
that do not sweat should be watched
carefully, for the danger sign is
out when sweating ceases on hot
days. Washing the horses Shout
ders with salt water once or twice
a day will add much to their pro-
lection.

Old Fort Strategic

"Key to our province" was the
term often applied to Cockspur is
land, at the mouth Of the Savannah
river, by Sir James Wright, royal
governor of Georgia. The strategic
al position of the little island early
led to its fertilization, the first such
defense being built in 1761, reports
the Interior department. The struc-
ture was commenced in 1929 and
ranks as one of the best preserved
of the brick fortresses along the
Atlantic coast constructed during
the early half of the Nineteenth
century. It was named Fort Pulaski,
in honor of the gallant Pole, Count
Casimir Pulaski, who fell at the
Battle of Savannah, in 1779, during
the war of the American Revolution.

Blondes and Brunettes

The brunette is thoughtful, inn
aginative, serious and tenacious.
When they, start anything they see
it through. They are conservative
and more stable than blondes, de-
clares a writer in Pearson's London
Weekly. They are emotional and it
is remarkable that many of the
great religious cults have bee n
founded by brunettes. The brunette
is slower than the blonde, not so
brilliant, but sometimes more sure
of "getting there" in the end. The
blonde is the builder, the go-getter,
seeker after fresh fields and pas
lures new. They are the explorers
and inventors, the civil engineers.

Ten Plaques Of Egypt

The Bible mentions ten plaques
of Egypt, although it is common to
speak of the "seven plaques Of
Egypt" The plaques were as fol-
lows: The turning of the Nile into
blood, covering the land with frogs,
turning the dust into lice, sending
swarms Of flies, killing Of the cattle
by a murrain, affecting the Egyp-
tians with boils, raining fire and hail,
covering the land with locusts, COW
ering the land with thick darkness
for three days, and the destruction
of the first born Of man and beast.

Most Primitive Indians

The Seminoles, the most primitive
Indians in the country, live on small
islands Of about an acre that rise
above the water Of the Florida Ev-
erglades. They hunt and fish in
long, narrow canoes which they pole
through the labyrinthine waterways.
Their houses have no walls. but con-
sist merely of platforms canopied
with palmetto leaves. Their fires
burn continuously. They are made
of trunks Of cypress trees which
radiate from the IRE like spokss
from q hub, and are gradually
pushed into the burning center.

Old English Cathedrals
Marniicent Structurt

! The medieval cathedralS OF Eng
land are among the most magnif-
cent in Europe, and among the
best preserved and most important
architecturally. Many Of them, says
a writer in the New York Herald
Tribune, while adhering to general
Gothic principles, are distinctive In
style and preserve some of the best
examples of early English architec-
ture.
One need not be a student OF
architecture or a devout churchman
to appreciate the beauty of these
ancient monuments to mans faith
and art and skill. In their majesty
they dominate many of the cities
of England.
One of the cathedrals is Canter-
bury, the Metropolitan Church OF
England. Canterbury itself is an in
teresting old city in the County OF
Kent.
The cathedral is on the site of the
church built there by St. Augustine
in SOB. The present building was in
process of construction from the
Eleventh to the Fifteenth century.
The northwest transept was the
scene of the murder of Thomas a
Beckett in ITO.
Second only to Canterbury in &C.
clesiastical importance is York
Minister in the City of York, in
northern England, the see Of the
Archbishop Of York. The great
York Minister is the largest medieval
cathedral in England and one of
the oldest. The imposing edifce was
built in the Twelfth, Thirteenth and
Fourteenth centuries.
Durham Cathedral is one Of the
most ancient and most important
in the country, and also one of the
most perfectly situated, on an emf
hence above the old city. Winchester
cathedral, in the south of England,
also is one of the earliest. 1t is
the longest Gothic church in Europe.
Many authorities consider Sails
bury Cathedral the most perfect Of
the great English churches. It is an
example of pure early English
architecture, and is remarkable for
its uniformity and harmony Of de-
sign and its perfect proportions.
It has the Hottest spire in England.
It is unusual among medieval cathe-
drals in that it was completed with
in forty years, from 1920 to 1860.

u. S. STRIKE BAN
GAINS FAVOR
IN SENATE
BY ROBERT A. McGTLL
Intsrnational News Service

While steel plants in seven
states remain idle, proposed legis-
lation to prohibit strikes during
negotiation Of Industrial disputes
gained favor today on Capitol Hill.
The proposed law. designed to
prevent recurrence Of bloodshed.
and loss Of millions Of dollars was
being considered as an amend,
ment to the National Labor Rela-
tions act, and to the wages and
hour bill.
Suggested by Horace Herr, Of
Washington, representing fruit
and vegetable commission mer-
chants before the wage and hour
hearing, the proposal was quickly
taken UP by Senators Bridges (R.)
Of New Hampshire and Ellender
Cd Of Louisiana as charges that
the Government was taking sides
with the strikers" in the steel dis
trict swept the Senate. Bridges
said:
when the Government per-
mits the Post Office Depart
ment to suspend the delivery Of
food. clothing and medicines to
workers inside picketed-Steel
plants it is evident there Is need
for such law.
Enactment into law Of the
suggestions made would guar
antee the delivery of mail in
any industrial dispute and pre-
vent the Government from
taking sides as It has done in
this case. Therefore, am
considering drafting q law for
this purpose"
Ellender, who recently at.
tackled John L. Lewis in a Sen.
ate speech, said:
"By all means. the Govern
ment should have the right to
prohibit strikes in industries
while negotiations are under
way with q Federal agency to
settle industrial disputes"
Meanwhile Senators Bailey
Cd of North Carolina, and
Holt Cd of West Virginia,
charged the Administration with
working hand.in-hand with
Lewis" and failing to invoke
established power to guarantee
work to loyal workers" in the
steel plants.
Bailey sharply criticised Gov.
George H. Earle, of Pennsylvania,
for closing plants of the Bethle-
hem Steel Company in Johnstown.
Holt declared:
"The record proves that John
L. Lewis has had the silent and
hearty cooperation Of the Ad-
ministratiOn In these industrial
disputes. It also proves that
whenever Lewis starts losing
ground that the Administration
steps in to save his face"
Bridges subpoenaed Tom M.
Girdler, chairman Of the board Of
the Republic Steel Corporation, to
appear Thursday before the Sen
ate PoStoffice Committee.
