Latin Values Important
When Speaking Chinese

In pronouncing Chinese names the
important thing to remember is that
all vowels in the ordinary spellings
have their Latin values and not their
English values, that is, a, e, 1, o, u
are pronounced ah, eigh, ee, GA, 90.
There Is q u with two dots on
top German umlaut), but that new
er gets printed in newspapers, be-
ing spelled like ordinary u, which
Is Of course confusing to the reader,
according to Chinese authority in
the New York Times.
Once In q while a Chinese spells
his name according to English val
ues, as in the case Of T. v. Soong,
but T. ". ''Soong" English values)
rhymes perfectly with H. H.
''Kung'' Uatin values).
The Chinese make IN important
distinction between aspirated and
unaspirated consonants: k and k,
Oh and CHI. p and p. etc. But
Americans can ignore this distinc-
ton, since they cannot make it, and
especially since this distinction 10
usually ignored in newspaper spell
ings. Unaspirated CHI in Chang Kai.

pirated CHI in Chen is pronounced

Human Hair for Wigs

Human hair, secured from the
heads Of European peasant girls
who make a regular business Of 1t,
Is used In wigmaking. In most in
stances the money obtained from
the sale Of their hair goes toward
their dowries, and some Of them
have as many as eight cuttings in
the course Of their lives. The hair
is taken from a three-inch diam
eter in the back Of the crown, and
the front and the side hair is draped
to conceal the shorn spot. The best
quality hair Is Scandinavian, blond
and silky. Italian and Spanish hair
have a dark, wavy, lustrous quality.
Eastern European hair has a coars-
er texture; by the time one gets to
China, the hair is almost wiry and
is Of use only for theatrical wigs
Of inferior quality.

USE OF LUMINOUS
PLUG Is ILLEGAL

The use Of the so-called "lumin-
our plugs" is illegal under Mime
sofa fishing laws, according to
Harry e. Speakes, director Of game
and fish. Many questions have been
asked the department with regard
to the use of various of the new
patented and advertised bats, and
particularly with reference to the
plugs containing a small flashlight
battery. Such lighted plugs are
classed as artificial lights. Mime
sofa law is specific in prohibiting
the use of artificial lights in fish
ing, except that lights may be used
when spearing rough fish in GER
tain counties.

Life of Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton, born Janu-
airy 1, 1757, on the British Isle Of
Nevis, in the West Indies, was
forced to support himself at the age
Of twelve and came to America
three years later. Having adopted
this country, he fought for its in
dependence and became one Of the
outstanding statesmen Of the infant
republic. His work as first secre-
tary Of the treasury, in Washing
toms administration, when he laid
the groundwork for a sound money
system in this country, is perhaps
his greatest contribution to poster
ity. Hamilton advocated a strong
centralized government and q lib
eral Interpretation Of the Constitu-
ton, but his theories were opposed
bitterly at that time by leading
statesmen.

Lake Okeechobee, Florida

Lake Okeechobee in Florida is
circular in shape, and about 30
miles in diameter. 1t is, with the
exception of Lake Michigan, the
largest fresh-water lake wholly with
in the United States. 1t lies imme-
diately north Of the Everglades. At
mean level it has an area Of 468,-
$50 acres. Early explorers believed
the lake was fed by subterranean
streams or large springs. A few
years ago this theory was more or
less exploded by investigations at
low water; these failed to disclose
any such source Of supply. 1t is be-
lieved that Okeechobee relies en-
tirely on rainfall.

Never Two Alike

Snowfakes fall by uncountable,
unimaginable billions, in every
snowstorm that blows. Sometimes
they are big and moist, sometimes
little and hard and dry. They al
ways have six points, so they are
always alike in that way. But they
are not alike in any other way. No
snowflake has ever been seen that
was an exact twin Of any other
snowflake, and scientists have care
fully examined and photographed
thousands of them. Snowfakes are
complete individualists; every one
is a pattern unto itself.

Muskrat Builds Home He
Can Live In, Also Eat

One of the rarest kinds of homes
is one that can be eaten as well as
lived in. The muskrat sometimes
builds such home in the form of
the familiar house Of flags which Is
50 often seen in marshes.
Most often these houses are made
Of the flag plant which produces the
well known cat tail. The leaves,
stems, and roots are used in con-
structing the dwelling. These parts
Of the plant also form the main
items in the muskrat's diet, espe-
cially when the plant is green. But
when the rats become hard pressed
for food, dried cat-tails are eaten
too. And this is the time their
homes come in handler than ever,
writes Clarence Taube in the De-
troit News.
Under close examination the
muskrat house reveals itself as be-
ing quite an elaborate construction.
Their conical shapes vary in size,
ranging from to feet in diameter
at the base and from only 2 or 8 feet
in height to as high as feet. From
their broad bases they usually taper
to a much smaller circumference at
the top.
Above the water-line over the
base, living room is provided for.
Entrance is made from below the
water surface, each house usually
having several entrances.
No matter how severe a spell Of
cold weather may suddenly strike,
the house rat is not frozen out Of
a supply of food. When hard WIN
ter comes muskrat colony can be-
gin eating its dwelling and grow fat
on this diet.

Godfrey, Godfrey Both
Forms of Teutonic Name

Godfrey and Godfrey are differ
ent forms Of the same Teutonic
name, meaning "divinely peace
full" or "the peace of God" But
we consider these names quite dis
tinct. Godfrey is rather more COM
mon as surname than as a given
name, except for the German form,
Gottfried, writes Florence A.
Cowles in the Cleveland Plain Deal
er.
Godfrey de Bouillon, Eleventh
century. was one Of the leaders Of
the first crusade and became the
first Latin ruler Of Jerusalem. Many
legends survive relating to his brav-
cry and strength.
Godfrey Cor GottfrieO Won Strass-
burg, German court poet of the
Thirteenth century. wrote the poem
Tristan und Isolde" which fur
nished Wagner the theme for his
opera Of the same name. The poem
Is based on an old Celtic legend.
Godfrey Of Monmouth, Twelfth
century bishop Of st. Asaph. wrote
in Latin a History Of the Kings Of
Britain" which Is one Of the main
sources Of the Arthurian legend. It
purports to be a translation Of an
ancient Cymric chronicle.
Godfrey Chaucer Fourteenth
century, Is called the father of Eng
ish poetry. He was a soldier, held
various appointments from the king
and was sent on important foreign
missions. His greatest work Is 1.-THE

BLUE MOLD ISN'T

Plantbeds Developing Rap

Trans-Planting

Blue mold, which last year proved
so disastrous to tobacco in this sec

not. in the same proportion and Sc
serious as before, according to grow
ers who have expressed opinions about
heir own arms
Plantbeds are near maturity, and
in few more weeks plants will be
large enough for setting in the grow
ing fields. Planting, however, is not
expected to get under way before
early May, at least not on large
rcale.
There were rurnOrs here and there
of trifle bit of t"ansI lantirg ir one
or two places, but this was rare and
isolated, and general planting will
await the coming of May. BY tha:
time the supply of young plants will
be sufficient for operations to con-
tinue without interruption.
The cold spell of a week or SO ago.
with killing frOsts in places, stung
some young plants, but did no serious
damage, so far as has been learned
:lere.
This years crop will be less thar
that of last year by reason of the crop
control measures, and there is no in
plants for any farm. Most growers put
in large areas of plantbeds to guar /
against diseases and pest damage, ana
there has not been any very serious
amount of either.

COMPLAINTS OVER
TOBACCO ACREAGE
Many Growers Express Dis
satisfaction With AL
lotme!nts Given

Considerable dissatisfaction was
voiced this week by farmers over al
lotments for their tobacco acreage
for this year under the restrictions
and limitations OF the new Federal
crop control act. All growers wera
notified the first of the week of al
lotments that had been assigned 70
them by the county committee, I'm
der direction of J. w. Sanders, county
farm agent.
Scores of growers have called at
the county agents office on the second
floor of the post office to protest al
on the part of many in understand
ing the precise method under which
allotments were arrived at.
Some growers were heard to say
they were going to plant what they
pleased regardless. That was their
early reaction, but whether they will
actually carry out their threats was
matter of speculation.
While there has been great deal
Of dissatisfaction, other growers re-
ceived allotments about in keeping
with their exr ectations and accepte"
their quotas as made by the commit
tee.
There was a general expectation
that the slashes would, for the most
part be about third under the old
base, though some cuts were consid-
erably more than others, on the basis
of actual paintings in 1887, when
there were no restrictions.
