Semi Dry Grass Used by
Indians to Smoke Meats

Although hickory and oak have
long been favored in meat smoking,
certain nut shells and aromatic
seeds have been preferred by primi-
tive tribes. Semi dry grass, that
develops a bonfire" smell, has been
used by plains Indians, while West
ern tribes have tossed green sage
brush sprigs on their fires. The
burning, however, destroyed most
of the sage flavor, scientists say.
The use Of saltpeter in curing was
probably brought about through its
being an impurity in the salt en-
ployed, or 1t may be that the early
meat curers did not distinguish too
well between flavor or pure salt and
the bitter-salt rang Of saltpeter. The
discovery that 1t preserved the red
dish tinge of meat, however, led to
its use.
Early sailing and curing did not
provide for uniform penetration, so
that the unsalted, uneolored a n d
sour spots resulted, with which meat
curers must contend.

Name Of Lake Is LongeSt
in the English Language

Lake OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
goggchaubungungamaug Is a beau
tiful body Of water lying within the
limits Of Webster, Mas. and near
the Connecticut line. It has an area
Of about two miles and Is noted
chiefly for its unusual name. which
is believed to be q combination Of
the names of three Algonquin Indian
villages which once stood on the
shores Of the lake, with a termina-
ton meaning, 'tishing place at the
boundary" thrown in for good meas
ure.
The lake has three divisions, notes
q writer in the indianapolis News
upper, middle and lower, and &C.
cording to a popular story two In
dian tribes living on opposite ends
Of the lake had a long dispute as to
which tribe had the right to hsh
In the middle section. Finally they
framed treaty providing that each
tribe had exclusive rights in its own
end of the lake, but neither had the
right to fish In the middle, and
they applied to the lake a name
made up from the terms Of the
treaty and meaning: ''You fish on
your side; we fish on our side; no
body fish in the middle"
The word is pronounced "char-
gogg q gogg mon = chowg ga :
gogg chow bun . gUmg q
mogg," accent on the 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, .
and u syllables. On many maps
and in many reference works the
lake is labeled ''Chaubmagunga-
maug," which Is q contraction Of
the longer name. The average ma
tive Of the region is satisfied to call
1t simply Lake Chang.
In 1882 a committee appointed
by the commonwealth government
to determine the correct spelling
of the names of cities, towns, lakes
and rivers in Massachusetts, decided
that OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
oggehabungagungamaug" Is the
correct spelling Of the lake. For
merry the name was also often writ
ten OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
agoggchaubunagungamaugg."

Old Sol Is smarter than most Of

GUS thing about sunburn. Too often

Sunburn Is no laughing matter.

and cracks ike the soil during q

Olive oil can be used both to pre-
vent and to relieve. By rubbing
olive oil well into the skin before
exposing yourself TO the ultraviolet
and other light rays Of the sun,
much of the damage and discomfort
Of too-long exposure can be
avoided.
A Simple Routine
The theory that since a burn Is
"acid" and that vinegar can be
used effectively TO minimize its eff
feet is substantiated upon one APP
plication Of this common household
substance. Many people follow the
simple routine as follows to combat
the effects of Mr.. Sun:
Olive oil treatment before expos
ing yourself. II you are in the sun
for a long period, apply more olive
oil to replace that which has been
evaporated or absorbed. As soon
as you can, take a warm bath. dry
carefully with a not-tOo-brisk rub,
and apply vinegar literally to the
burned surfaces. After this has
dried, apply more olive oil. Ger.
tainly you will have the laugh on
your neighbor who failed to take
these precautions.
Now, II continuous exposure to
the sun has darkenad the skin, as
it is likely to do after a few more
weeks of this summer weather,
bleaching cream-or. If you prefer,
lemon juice-can be used effectively
to counterfeit the effect. II bleaches
are used consistently, the skin will
become notlceably lighter.

A REAL STATESMAN

There is no man in North Carolina who is
better qualified for or more deserving of a seat
in the United States Senate'than is our beloved
Congressman R. L. Doughton, but his services
in the House of Representatives are of such
great and indispensable value that he was final
ly persuaded by President Roosevelt and lead
ing Administration officials not to forsake his
present post and run for the Senate.
After it had been'runlored that he would be
a candidate for Democratic senatorial nomina-
ton, the veteran Congressman received urgent
requests to make the race from all parts of the
state and from all classes of people. He was
giving the matter serious consideration, but ul-
timately Abandoned the idea in response to the
Presidents wishes. The entire nations legisla-
tive program rests heavily upon the ways and
means committee and as chairman of this pow
erful group, Mr.. Doughton holds one of the key
positions of the world. Apparently there is no
one else able to fill his place or who understands
the Administrations program as we'll as he does.
This makes the second time that he has given
up plans to seek other officers The other time
he was ready to announce his candidacy for gov
ernor when the President interviewed.
Covering long period of twenty-seven years,
Mr.. Doughton has record of service to this
district and to the nation that is unequalled in
the annals of history. To have given him a
seat in the Senate would have been worthy
tribute and expression of appreciation on the
part of the people of this district and North Car
Dina. Our attitude towards the matter was that
if Mr.. Doughton wanted the seat, we wanted
him to have it.
In sacrificing his own personal desires and
ambitions for the sake of the party and Ad-
ministration Mr.. Doughton is indeed loyal
soldier and "a true statesman.
Now that he has declined and Congressman
Frank Hancock has announced with Mr..
Doughton pledging his support to the fifth dis
trict representative, we are anticipating hot
fight betweer. the able gentleman from Oxford
and Senator Robert Reynolds. :,

power. Fire insurance is essential to lndivid-
uals and business alike, but there are risks both
human and material, that no policy can cover.
What about the children that are trapped on the
second floor and the only ones who can save
them are fremen who have ladders and who
know their jobs and are willing to sacrifice
lives if need be. When we read about big fires
occurring in distant places, we are not conscious
of the seriousness involved until they come
home to us, and then often times it is too late.
West jefferson and Ashe county really need
well equipped fire department We need
truck-one that stands in readiness at all hours
of the day or night to answer call, whether
it be here or in any of the contested communi-
ties of the county one that is so constructed
that it can pump water out of stream and send
it to building located hundreds of feet away.
Realizing these needs better than anyone
else, members of the local department, under the
able leadership of their chief, are now work
in out plan by which the town and county can
acquire truck, suitable to meet any emergency.
Tomorrow the business firms and public spir-
tied individuals here will be asked to give con-
tributions with which to pay for the siren and
it is hoped that local citizens, the town board
and county commissioners will be able to find
a way to secure the additional equipment that
is needed.
