NJ NATURE played volcanic pranks

NATURE played volcanic pranks " with the 10000 square miles that is Icclands moon-likc surface. The island is pitted with thou- sands of cratcrs, many still active, Ancient lava fields cover Onc- eighth of the country, another eighth IS under glaciers. Only onc-fourth of the tiny country is cultivated. But nature did leave Iceland one gift in her crcation- hot springs,
 Hot springs dot the Icclandlc map. So numerous arc they, in fact, in the city of Reykiavik, capital, that the citizens have de- cidcd to harness them. They plan to pipe the hot water to homes and office buildings. A few build ings and hothouscs are already heated by this spring water
 And if the plan works, the heat ing program will extend to other points in Iceland where the springs bubble up, often in the form of geyscrs. Since fuel is cx- tremely scarce in Iceland, this new yet very ancient heating by springs looms extraordinarily im- portant.
 Total population of Iceland is ll6,000, with nearly onc-third of the people residing in Reykjavik. City of Danish-type houses, built partly of sheet iron and stone, Rcykjavik rises ruggedly from the barren landscape. It boasts q beautiful cathedral, the Universi- y, and the Museum. And now 1t may have natural heating. Rcyk- iavik is shown below on q 1925 stamp of Iceland.

What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
BY FRED H. MAY

1. Who was the North Carolina con
gresham that fought a duel with the
United States Minister to Austria?
?. How many years did North Caro-
lima and Virginia keep up the quarrel
over the dividing line between the
two colonies?
3. How accurately did Governor
Vance in 1864 predict the fall of For
Fisher?
4. Where and when was the first
meeting of the trustees of the Uni
versity held?
5. How many women over Is years
of age in North Carolina are wag,
carriers?
6. How much did cotton production
fall of during the. first four years OF
the war between the States?
ANSWERS
]. Jesse A. Bynum, of Halifax coun-
ty. After having served several terms
in the North Carolina House of Com
mons. Bynum was sent to Congress
in 1888 where he served four terms
While in Congress he fought a duel
with Congressman Daniel Jenifer, Of
Maryland, who later was sent to Aus
tria as minister The duel was a harm
less one.
2. Difference over the location of the
boundary line came to official notice
first in 1880 when people living near
the supposed location refused to pay
quitrents or taxes. The following yea
the Lords Proprietors petitioned Eng
lish authorities to appoint a commits
sion to survey and establish the
boundary line. Thirty-nine years later,
in 1928, a joint commission establish
ed the line as far west as the present
Stokes county.
8. In letter dated January T. 1864,
to Secretary Of Navy Jas. A. Selden
Confederate States Governor Vance
wrote that Fort Fisher would fall
next spring, or before" The fort was
forced to surrender a year and few
days after this letter was written
4. At Fayetteville, November IS,

At the same time Moore was deny

front, and tina. the c.ntrol forces ave
determined to n ave 4 ncSS chairman IF,
it is humanity possible
They do not like Moor, have never
liked him since his appointment, and
show no signs of liking h;:n any better
as things move on.
They claim that Moore has adopted
a Hitler-like attitude ever since he
was appointed and that his conduct
of the liquor commission has been
such as to Great friction at every
turn and to bring ;l.c control system
into disrepute.

kept pretty well under cover until
Moore virtually forced the resigna-
ton of w. D. Mcmillan, of Whining

County ABC Boards. Since then the
fight has been very much in tie open
1t, is an open secret that the .ARC-

with the theory of control, as well a

The most celebrated speech in Anne

years ago today in a little church IN
Richmond, Va, that still stands.
There a provincial convention was be
ing held for the purpose if discuss
ing the proposals for resistance to
British rule that were coming from
other colonies.
The proposals did not bestire much
sympathy among Virginia's well-fed,
self-satisfied tobacco planters. They
were indifferent when an unsuccess-
full 39-year-old lawyer, one Patrick
Henry, offered a resolution calling for
reorganization of Virginia militia and
defenses. Angered, he turned his whip
lash tongue upon them:
If we are base enough to
desire it, it is now too late to retire
from the contest. There is no retreat
but in submission and slavery. Our
chains are forged. Their clinking
may be heard on the plains of Bos-

1t sounded like an Irishman talk
ing, but red-haired Patrick Henry
was Scotch by blood.
We know from John Adams diary
that without Henry's almost single
handed fight against a plan of con-
Citation, Britain and the 13 colonies
probably would have reached an
agreement that would have establish
ed somewhat the same relations that
subsequently developed between the
United Kingdom and Canada.
After all his talking, Henry didn't
