SWEDISH AMERICAN 3OOTH
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Salem, N. j., April 25-The first
log cabin, accepted symbol Of pion-
eer American history, was built by
Swedish colonists in New Jersey,
then part Of the colony Of New
Sweden, as early as 1889, it was re-
vealed here today.
Research inspired by the nation
wide Swedish-American 300th Ami
versary Celebration of the landing
Of the first Swedish colonists ins
America, brought this fact to light
according to officials Of the Swed
ish-American Tercentenary Associa'
ton.
An important part Of the cele-
bration Is the campaign, now in
progress, to create a $4,000 en-
dowment fund for the American
Swedish Historical Museum in Phil
adelphia. The campaign, in which
100000 Swedish-Americans are.
participating, closes May 18th.
The colonists, according to infor-
nation gathered by the New Jersey
federal writer's project, settled
along the Delaware river in parts
of what are now the states of New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
The first cabins built were prob
ably more primitive than the type
later evolved during the regime of
the colony's first governor, Johann
Printz. A reconstruction of the
later type of cabin stands near

Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

Is there q spray which can use
in my lake shore home to kill spid-
ers which are prevalent inside and
out of it?
The spiders which infest your
lake shore home, both inside and
out, are harmless ones which feed
on flies and other insects. If they
are such an annoyance that you
wish to kill them, there Is nothing
more satisfactory than mechanical
sweeping and killing. Spiders can
be temporarily paralyDed by
thorough spraying with creosote.
Since the injury to them is largely
temporary, it is necessary to kill
them after they fall to the floor
anyway, and there is little to gain
by this roundabout spray method.

Generally. 1T Is thought that the

Investigations at the Illinois Ex-
pertinent Station indicate that cold
wet weather after planting is likely
to have a more unfavorable effect
en- the termination of smooth-seed-
ed pease than upon the wrinkled
varieties. Perfection and Alaska
were used in the Illinois trials. Re-
suits also indicated that seedlings
of the smooth-seeded variety were
more severely injured by frost than

DRIVERS LICENSE
REVOCATIONS JUMP

Drunken driving continued to
run far ahead as the major cause
for revocation Of drivers license
when in March, according to Mimi
escta Highway department, ia
drivers lost the right to drive for
being intoxicated. This cause ac-
counted for all but 4 out of a total
Of 118 revocations for the month.
During March, IS drivers license
were also suspended, the report
showed. At the same time go
licenses were returned to those
whose suspension period had ex-
pired. The 118 revocaticns in March
were in contrast to II in March a
year ago. However, for the same
period the suspensions declined I'M
der the total Of March a year ago,
which indicates that the courts are
becoming more inclined to order re-
vacations for fragrant traffic vio-
lations than suspensions.
For the month, the records re-
vealed, Hennepin county had q re-
vacations, st. Louis %, and Ramsey
Is. In suspension, Ramsey county
led with 10 and Hennepin was Sec
end with six. Reckless driving
accounted for the majority Of the
suspensions.

Turning Her Coat Once
Saved Margaret of Kent

In olden days in Britain, Queen
Margaret Of Kent, the first Christian
queen to teach her people that re-
ligion, was imprisoned in a tower
by her cousin Firth, who wished to
rule Kent himself. Queen Margaret
longed to escape to join her SOL
diers, who were gathered across the
river, afraid to attack the tower.
Margaret saw them from her
prison and knew she must reach
them some way to inspire their flag
ging courage. But if she tried to
cross the river, which was frozen
solid and white, her many-colored
cloak Of bright patches would be
easily seen by Frith's men.
However, the gallant queen made
the attempt, relates a writer in the
Washington Star, and escaping the
tower, had an inspiration at the
river side. By turning her cloak
inside out, its white lining protected
her from sight on the ice as she
braved the crossing and Joined her
men on the other side, undiscov-
cred. The next day Kent was in
her power again and Christian rule
restored.
Early times in Britain were dam
gerous, indeed. Every town was
surrounded by deep forest for
protection. II a stranger entered
here, he was compelled to announce
his coming by blowing continuous
blasts on a horn. Otherwise he
would be speared on sight If dis
covered. 'Skulking strangers come
for no good" was the belief.

Gulf of Carpentaria IL
One of Loneliest Seas

The moody Gull Of Carpentaria.
on Australia's northern coastline,
due south of New Guinea, is one OF
the loneliest seas. Usually the gulf
Is calm. the heat tempered by cool
ing winds. But in blazing summers
the water heaves in great swells,
forecasting cyclone, and then old
sailors recall that this gulf has been
known throughout the seven seas as
''the graveyard of ships"
There are strange features about
this vast gull, states Sydney, Aus

each "a hours. And at night Its wa

are those minute marine organisms
known as plankton, which give this
phosphorescent light, so plentiful
as they are in the Cult Of Carpen-
taria.
At night, in fine weather, the wa
tiers show all colors. Every wave,
every ripple, is marked with lines
Of lght-milk-white, blue and pink,
the gleamings Of tiny creature no
bigger than a pins head. The sea
Is full of moving points Of light.
Scattered about the gulf are many
islands, romantic. little known. One
Is Sweers island, which many years
ago was the site Of a fourishing
settlement owing its existence to
yellow fever. In the early 1860s two
sailors arrived at Burketown dying
with yellow fever. AS the dread
malady hit others in the town, the
population fed, most Of 1t to Sweers
island, where it lived for years be-

from home" In thousands of testi-
monies to the Gidecns people have
born witness to the fact that the
Gideon Bible they have idly picked
up in some hotel has been a source
Of inspiration. the Gideons said.
A chance meeting of two sales
men, who were forced to share a
room in small town hotel in Wis
consin, brought about the Gideon
Society in the late sos. The two
learned each was Christian, and
in their conversation proposed an
organization Of Christian travelling
and commercialmen. In selecting
a name Gideon" was chosen be-
cause in the Bible it points out that
Gideon was one who attempted to
do the will of God.
Today the Gideons operate with
no overhead expense. These men
who came to Sank Centre do the
work because they are interested,
accept no payment for expenses in
CURED. Office work is paid for
entirely by membership subscrip-
ticn Of the Gideons themselves.
Every penny that you contribute
to the Gideons goes to place Bible
in some needed spct," they asserted
Sunday.
Distribution of Bible costs one
dollar, these laymen said Sunday.
Foreign placement costs no more
than domestic since the Dollar
Steamship Line donates transporta-
ton to the far corners of the earth.

are the largest ever placed in this

Benjamin Franklin Won
Popularity With French

Benjamin Franklin, born January
II, 1706, Of humble parentage. be-
came foremost philosopher and
statesman. But he never lost his
simplicity Of manner, which,
coupled with ready wit, won not on
ly the esteem of Americans, but the
hearts Of the French when he was
sent to Paris to represent his coun-
try during the Revolutionary war,
writes Leslie Hartley in the Wash.
ington Star.
One Of II children, Franklin was
compelled to work at an early age.
When only seventeen he ran away
from home to Philadelphia, where
he married and became the Quaker
City's outstanding citizen.
OF a practical turn of mind,
Franklin, who was a successful
printer and journalist, developed
numerous inventions. His philos-
ophy also was practical and his
quaint sayings and homely wisdom,
published for years in Poor Rich
ards Almanac, are quoted still
When the Revolutionary war be-
gan in earnest he was sent to
France to win the sympathy Of that
nation for the cause Of the Colonies.
Not only did he persuade the king to
openly aid the Americans, but he
won such personal popularity that
crowds followed him through the
streets. Upon his departure the
king presented him with handsome
gifts and gave him the use Of the
queens litter to bear him to the
coast.

When Columbus discovered Trim

the quantities Of oysters attached

opened, drops Of dew fell from the
trees and eventually became pearls.

Delicate Hairs ON Some
Plants Capture Insects

The Venus Fly Trap is a trapper
plant and murderer, notes writer
in the New York Telegram. It is
found In swamps and moist places.
The leaves are divided into two
parts or halves both edged with a
row Of teeth and nerve hairs. This
plant is also provided with q honey
nectar and Is so sensitive that the
slightest touch on one Of these hairs
causes the leaf to close immediate
~. Thus the insect is caught tight
In the trap and is absorbed and d.
gested. Then the leaf opens again
and waits for the next victim.
The Sun Dew. Dew plant or Dro-
sera. certainly looks delicate and
harmless enough. Its leaves are ar
ranged In rosettes and are covered
with scarlet tentacles or hairs. At
the tip Of each il q drop Of honey
like fluid which resembles drop Of
dew shining and glistening in the
sunlight. The insect-attracted by
the scent-and also by the color-is
soon hopelessly entangled in the
sticky tentacles.
These sun dews grow in moist
muddy loan and full sunshine. at
times almost floating on the water
or attached to water-logged stumps.
They can also be grown In green
houses, but must be kept constantly
moist at the roots and exposed to
bright light. They are exquisite un-
der a magnifying glass, as are
many tiny plants which are never
seen to full advantage with the
naked eye.
Thus in the plant world we can
readily see the survival Of the it
test" being carried out by these car.
nivorous specimens in their daily
struggle for existence.
