Bulbs Planted Now Will
Beauty City In The Spring

this fall, not counting those ordered
from mail order houses.
The first thing to remember when
buying bulbs, is to be sure to ask
for top size, not first size, as so many
people think are the largest. Top size
is the largest size grown.
Never plant bulbs too early, as
they will get warm and sprout in
the ground too soon. Plant in rich
soil and fertilize during blooming
season, as this will assure a large
bloom for the following year.
The bulbs sold here will make
Henderson a town Of rich, lovely

High Praise

High praise for the showing Il
made in the Duke Homecoming
program in Durham Saturday was
given the Henderson nigh school
oand by those who saw the parade
and the exercises in the Duke Sta
dunn at the Syracuse football game
in the afternoon.
One very prominent Durham
citizen and lawyer voluntarily re-
marked to a Henderson man that
he thought the local band made as
good a showing, both in appear
ance and performance, as any must
cal organization in the parade. Its
march in the stadium also elected
comment of a very favorable char
aCter.
The band appeared to have about
as many individuals in the line Of
march as any like organization ap-
pearing, with the single exception
Of the Duke University band. There
were many, too, who though the
Henderson bands uniforms were as
neat and appropriate as any. Their

Its drills and marches were eX-
ecuted with precision and accuracy,
and probably none Of the other high
school bands ms as many girls as
did Henderson.
1t was another Of those occasions
when the band reflected great
credit upon itself, its director and
the community and added to the
already fine reputation it has ac-
quired in the two years or SO it has
been appearing on public occasions.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
"A Little Saturday Talk

last ice age took place in Europe.
In that age the climate in Southern
Europe was far colder than it is
today. Even a dark cave was a bet
ter home than the outdoors.
People kept their caves from
being entirely dark. They learned
to make fire by rubbing wood on
wood. They also found that they
could make sparks by striking flint
stone against iron or "pyrite." Be-
cause of its brass-yellow color people
sometimes mistake pyrite for gold,
and that explains another name for
it-"fools gold" In many places
where Stone Age people lived chunks
Of pyrite have been found close to
pieces Of flint.
The cave folk also made crude
lamps. Flat stones, followed out a
little, have been found in their
olden homes. Study Of the followed
parts has shown traces of grease,
and it Is believed that animal fat
was burned as a fuel for such lamps.
Lighting the cave with = bonfire

These subjects may have special

Uncle Ray does not like the idea of
war. It seems to me that 1t Is the
greatest shame of the human race.
Many men and many women, and
I think some children as we'll, have
spent time thinking of how it might
be possible to erase war from the
earth. Surely it will happen some
day! Surely our race will not for
ever keep building up, and then
tearing down!
II we look over the history Of the
human race we see that it has been
great adventure. Think of the
time when people in Europe lived
In dark, damp caves! Think of how
their only tools were made of wood.
bone and stone!
Scientists tell us that tribes in
France and Spain lived in caves for
thousands of years. Probably the
use OF such homes started when the

could. Hunters went out to slay
deer, bears and other wild animals
for food. Very likely the women
cut up the skins Of the animals to
make clothing for themselves and
their families.
At last, the climate came to be
better In that part of Europe and
some people dared to leave the
caves. Remains of small stone huts
have been found in number of
places, along with stone hammers,
axheads and the like.

An Opportunist

All bridge tournaments serve to
illustrate that even at this well-de-
veloped stage of contract the bid
ding is far from perfect. In one OF
the matches of the Vanderbilt tour
nament South, aided and abetted
by some enthusiastic bidding on
the patr of his partner, arrived at a
small slam contract missing two
aces. West, who was on lead, decided
against laying down his spade ace
and instead opened diamond
the suit his partner had bid. East
won the first trick with the diamond
ace, returned the suit and now,
strangely enough, the slam could no
longer be defeated.
South, who was quick to take ad-
vantage of his heaven sent oppor-
tunity, simply ran off all seven
Of his trumps. This brought each
player down to four cards, and
West, IN order to retain the spade
ace, had to let go of three clubs
Declarer had kept all four of dunn
my's clubs, and he now played the
ace Of clubs, followed with a small
club, flnessing dummy's jack, and
won the last two tricks with the
two remaining clubs.

 Thinking of Mrs. French, Mary almost forgot that she was there to get the story. With quick eyes she began searching for familiar faces and estimating the number of people present. In the left side front Pews Mary recognized girls who'd come out the year Janice made her debut; Kathleen Hobson, crying gently; Mollie Tate, making more successful effort to control herself: Bess Marlitt, a sulky ex- precision on her pretty face, getting, obviously uneasy; more at home in night clubs. Mary had seen her at the Dove several times lately, a spectacular girl with scarlet lips and boldly black eyebrows. Behind her sat Egerton Mapleson. Across the aisle, his wife. They hadn't lived together in years, but both in a vague distant way were related to the Trenches.
 When Egerton wasn't at funerals, he was at his club. His white mus tache moved up and down as he whispered something to Alfred French, a cousin of Janice's.
 Mary had not yet finished counting ing faces when the servlces began They were brief; the simple Epis- copal burial services, the singing ot the choir and it was over.
 Later, at the office, in writing oi it, Mary found that her story cen tered on MT. French.

RESCUE BOAT FOR
 FIREMEN SECURED
Metal Craft Holds Seven Men - James Lynch
 Granted Pension

Chairman Frank Healey reported at meeting of the fire commits sion yesterday afternoon that the department is now equipped with a rescue boat. Need for the boat was expressed by Chairman Healey two months ago when the search for Jackie Grady was in full swing, and the board voted to purchase one.
 The new boat, according to Chair man Healey, is of metal, 16 feet long, with air chambers, and will hold seven men. For night work it will be provided with lights. The cost of the rescue boat is $47.10, and it will be mounted and kept at the East Main street station.
 The board received communica- tion from the General Assembly that James Lynch, former fireman, has been granted pension of $19.25 week for injuries sustained while on duty Sept. 3, 1926. The communi- cation was referred to the corpora tion counsel for ruling.
 The commission granted Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh permission to attend the New England Fire Chiefs convention at Providence the week of June 19, at his own expense.
 Applications from James J. Clad ney, John Neeson, Nadlaw A. Zem- bruski, William Faulhaber and J.. Harold Barnes for appointment as firemen were received and placed on file.

} STORIES
 IN STAMPS
The Gilbert IsIonds- Where the Eost Begins

THE news spotlight seldom turns A on the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, British protectorate in the South Seas. The last time the whole world took interest was when the aircraft carrier Lexing- ton and three escorting destroyers pushed as far west as these islands in search of Amelia Earhart. Now the islands are drawing attention again but this time only because of the British new reign" stamps picturing life on these Pacific dots.
 These islands are SO far west that they mark where the east begins. They lie in the Pacific just across the international date line, about 1900 miles southwest of Hawaii. The total area is roughly 180 square miles and the popula- ton is about 35,000. But this 180 square miles is scattered over a million square miles of ocean.
 Because of their location, the islanders are expert boatmen. Around this group of islands swirls mighty Pacific current westward along the equator. This is drift which would carry floating object 10 to 40 miles a day. Natives often take advantage of this drift to make long open canoe voyages. There is the story of two islanders whose boat trav- eled 1900 miles in this relentless current.
 Life for the islanders is a lei- surely affair for the most part. Copra and phosphates are export ed but with no great industry. The British, who rule the islands, are building up this commerce. The islands, incidentally, are even named for the British captain who explored the group thoroughly in l788. An island boat scene is shown above on a new stamp of the protectorate, one of 12 values.
