Famous Historic Island

The Island of Ste. Marguerite,
near Cannes on the French Riviera,
attracts many visitors. There it
was that during the reign of Louis
XIV, in rockbound monastery, ris-
ing out of the sea, one of the strang-
est mysteries of French history was
lived out for 40 years by the "Man
in the Iron Mask" whose tragic
identity is unknown. Treated with
royal honor, as far as his physical
care was concerned, his face hid
den behind fitted iron mask that
was never lifted, this unidentified
man kept his lonely vigil Of the sea
until at last death set him free.
Historians have never found the an
swer. Some have surmised that he
was a twin brother to the king, that
he was Fouquet, that he was royal
betrayer, that it was a self-imposed
penance. But no one knows. And
mystery lovers 60 to Ste. Marguerite
to wander through the apartments
of the strange figure and ponder
his fate.

Many Potato Varieties
Are Studied by Botanist

To the housewife and the restau-
rant patron the world Of the potato
may be divided into five parts
baked, boiled, French fried, mashed
and hashed brown.
But e. X. Balls, an English bota-
mist, estimates that there are at least
900 varieties Of potato. An account
of his expedition In the highlands
Of western South America has re-
Gently been published.
In one single cultivated field in
Peru, Mr.. Balls found ID different
kinds. Wild types were found from
Mexico to Argentina.
BY hybridization the botanists
seek to develop a potato resistant
to both disease and cold. In Bolivia
Mr.. Ball saw a potato that could
Withstand a nightly temperature Of
% degree Fahrenheit without wilt
ing.
In addition to collecting potato
specimens, Mr.. Ball made many
photographs in the Andes. Among
them was a series showing the use
of the ancient Peruvian footplow.

Migrants Go Due West

In migrating westward, Ameri-
cans are still tending to travel due
west rather than to angle northward
or southwark. This fact appears in
a. study of migration into the three
northwestern states Of Oregon,
Washington, and Idaho, in the years
since 1880. A survey by the bureau
of agricultural economics and the
Farm Security administration shows
that large part Of the migrating
families started west from the two
Dakotas and Nebraska and from ur-
ban centers such as Chicago, Mil
waukee, and Detroit. There were
relatively few from the south part
of the Great Plains. Migrants from
Oklahoma and Texas also went due
west, and so reached California.
Peak years for migration into the
Northwest were 1885 and 1937-an
echo Of the drouth years of 1884 and
1885. A more favorable crop year
in 1887 was followed by a drop In
westward migration in 1898.

NEW OFFICIAL RECORDS

Two Guernsey cows owned by
Donaldson Brown of Port Deposit,
have just finished new official records
for production which entities them
to entry in the Advanced Register of
The American Guernsey Cattle Club.
These animals include four and one
half year old Cherub's Kings Bessie

Higher Temperatures
Exist in Stratosphere

Existence Of two high temporal
ture layers in the stratosphere has
been shown by the flaming paths Of
meteors, according to DR.. Fred l..
Whipple Of the Harvard observa-
tory.
The astronomer said that the tenn
perature is about 100 degrees cent?
grade, the boiling point Of water, 38
miles above the earth's crust. And
at 70 miles, the heat Is about 20 de-
grees centigrade, ordinary room
temperature.
The findings were made possible
by a new type Of meteor speed
ometer in use at Harvard for two
years. It offered an entirely new
approach, the most reliable yet
found, to the much disputed prob
lens Of temperatures In the upper
air.
Most 1aymen and many scientists
believed the stratpsphere was a cold
expanse Of thinning air extending
above the six miles Of climate
breeding troposphere next to the
earth, said Whipple. Balloon tenn
peratures gave no evidence that the
temperature Of the stratosphere
was anything but icy cold and uni
form, at about So degrees below
centigrade.
Through measurements Of 10 me-
teors flashing through the skies,
Whipple found that from a height
of 20 miles in the shakespeare there
is rise in temperature from So
below zero centigrade to about 100
degrees at a height of 38 miles. At
so miles it decreases to about 80
degrees below zero centigrade, then
increases to about 20 degrees cent?
grade at 70 miles.

Flame of Holy Lamp
Burns for 200 Years

The oldest continuous flame to
burn in the Western hemisphere is
that in the Votive Lamp of Made
leine de Repentigny which hangs be-
fore the Statue of the Madonna in
the Chapel of the Monastery of the
Ursulines in Quebec. The fame was
lit in 1919 and has since burned con-
tinuously.
The story surrounding the lamp is
an interesting one. Many years ago
there lived in Montreal a beautiful
young girl, Madeleine de Repentig-
ny, daughter of the noble family of
LIE Gardeur de Repentigny who, like
all girls of her station, was careful
ly reared and given a carefully SUI
pervised education for which she
journeyed to Quebec. On her re-
turn to her home in Montreal she
was sought in marriage and was
betrothed to young man of excel
lent family.
Her hopes were about to be real
lied when her fiance died and she
was plunged in sorrow. She re-
turned to Quebec and sought solace,
asking to be received into the novi-
ciate of the Ursulines, her alma
mater.
However, the severity of the mo-
nastic life and the complete subju-
CATION of her normally high spirits
caused her to rebel until one day, in
despair, she Frustrated herself be-
fore the statue of the Madonna and
asked to be delivered from her re-
bellious spirit. Peace came to her
and she entered with joy into the
religious life under the name Of
Mother st. Agathe. Like her holy
foundress, she consecrated herself
to the education Of young girls.
In gratitude for the change in her
spirit she erected the Votive Lamp
in 1719 before the statue of "Our
Lady of Great Power" whose aid she
had invoked. Mother st. Agathe died
in 1889.
But more than a century and
half later a young woman visited
the little chapel and saw the trem-
bling light of the little lamp. She
identified herself as a descendant of
the de Repentigny family, and she,
too, abandoned the worldly life to
find peace and solace in the gar
dens of St. Ursula where she took
the name Of Mary Magdalene.

Killing Bear Was Routine
For Early Woman Settler

Examination Of early records and
photostatic copies of such documents
are among the services to posterity
carried on by historians of the ma
tional park service. One such rec
ord concerns the family of an early
settler in Yellowstone National park.
It's laconic style is as significant Of
the period as is the thrilling expert
ence related.
'In June, 81, I went to Omaha
on business, expected to be gone 30
days; had sufficient grub to last till
my return cached away in root
house apart but near my cabin,
while I was gone and my wife and
four children was necessarily alone.
tSoon after my departure one
morning two bears came down the
mt, smelling the meat &c. in root
house: approached same and went
to digging through the dirt roof.
"Wife saw 1t was either kill bears
or starve. She took rifle, shot one
bear through the lungs. He came
rolling toward her. She ran in cab
in and closed door just in time, as
bear threw himself against 1t,
shaking the whole house. He found
It useless, however, and went off.
Wife followed him up the mt. found
him breathing hard, shot him through
the heart. Weighed 700 lbs. Skin
was spoilt when ! got home, but wife
and babes were SAFE"

Chemical Fertilizer Is Born

Just 100 years ago a young and
ambitious British scientist stood in
an old barn at Rothamsted, Eng
land, treating old animal bones with
sulphuric acid. At that hour the
chemical fertilizer industry was
born and a new age of agriculture
had begun.
Many of the important contribu-
tions to modern industry have had
humble beginnings and that is true
of soil chemistry. It's laboratory
was the Rothamsted barn and its
first test case was tiny turnip crop.
Those British turnips planted in q
small plot of ground proved what
today the whole world knows.
They demonstrated that the science
of man could help things grow and
that chemistry can provide better
aids to plant growth than those
supplied by nature. The scientist
in his barn had, by treating bones
with acid, created superphosphate,
a produce which is now produced,
for fertilizer purposes, at rate APP
proximating 10000, 900 tons a year.

Repairing Warped Doors

Warped doors are not only TN
slightly, but can be a great annoy
ance, either because they stick or
fail to close properly. A door
which is swung properly on its
hinges, so that 1t opens freely with
out sticking against the door jamb
or tread, will rarely warp. To pre-
vent doors from warping, see that
they have proper clearance. When
ever they show signs Of sticking,
the points at which they bind should
be planed Immediately. Doors
often warp when they are stored for
q season, if they are not properly
put away. Never place door in
q slanting position against the wall.
The best way to store doors is to
suspend them from three or four
hangers made of stock one inch by
two inches.

Logged-Of Timber Land
May Soon Be Reclaimed

Millions Of acres In logged-off
lands soon may be reclaimed
through the newly formed Western
Washington Land Use, Irrigation
and Conservation institute, its
spokesman predicted in a report
from Seattle.
They point out the institute will
serve as co-ordinating agency, as
its title indicates.
But reclamation will be the pri-
mary goal, for the heavily timbered
Pacific Northwest Is dotted with
large logged-off areas. These, ac-
cording to sponsors of the move
ment, some day may be converted
into reforestation, live stock and
agricultural projects.
Unless action is taken speedily,
they warned, the logged-off lands
somC day may create the same
problem as in China, where de-
nuded hills have brought recurrent
floods.
Forest management and reclama-
ton are twin goals of the institute,
and lumbermen and utilities experts
will have ample opportunity to join
in attack on the problem, 1t was
said.
Reclamation of logged-off lands
may bring a transition In stock rails
ing, cattlemen were informed.
H. D. Howell, experimental super
visor near Astoria, Ore, forecast a
westward movement of the live
stock center which now has its main
base in eastern Washington and
Oregon.
When idle logged-off lands are
grassed, Howell predicted, cattle
men may find it profitable to cross
the high Cascade mountains to the
rainy west slope, where water and
transportation facilities are avail
able.

FARM SECURITY ALLOTMENT
FOR MARYLAN1

The Tenant Purchase allotment
to Maryland under the Farm Secur-
ity Administration for the coming
year has been increased to 1900,
it is announced by Alan @. Ebert,
assistant to the regional supervisor
for this region.
The allotment to Maryland for
the year 1898 was $45,244.OO;
for 193S-39, it was $115,s25.00;
and for 1939-4O, it is $1S4,103.0O.
Eight counties are participating
in the program this year and four
additional counties were approved
by the state Farm Security Com
mittee for the coming year. Mem
bers of that Committee are: Harry
N. Nuttle, Chairman, DR.. Thomas B.
Symons, Simon Downey, ]. Wilson
Lord, Charles e. Wise, Jr., Claude
Turner, Howard beaverton, Edgar
Bryan, and T. Roy Brookes. Some
changes in membership will be made
for the coming year.
The aim of the program Is to
help worthy farm tenants become
owners of farms. To date. 48 loans
for that purpose have been approved
and number of cases are pending.
In each of the counties where the
program is operating, county COM
mittee was created for the purpose
of assisting in selection of those who
qualify for the kind of help avail
able.

unluckily Coat Fitted

Although he's rather dapper,
George Allyn Spinks of the St. Louis
Spinks wishes his overcoat wasn't
such a perfect fit.
He was picked up by Detectives
Neil Rourke and Roy Carrier as
holdup man who weaved into Chi
cago tavern, flashed .38 revolver
on Bartender Howard Lederer and
reeled out with 81.
Spotting a lone drinker of Spinks'
description in another tavern, the
detectives asked him if an overcoat
hanging on the wall was his.
Nope" said Spinks.
"Try it on" ordered Rourke.
The coat fitted as though it were
made to order. A .38 revolver was
in a pocket. So the trio returned
to the first tavern where the bar
tender said Spinks was the man.

Sunny United States

The United States is land Of
abundant sunshine and its record as
the "sunny cline" is exceeded only
by few smaller districts, accord
ing to the Better Vision institute.
Most of the United States receives
an average of more than go per
cent of the maximum possible SUM-
light. In Great Britain, the average
sunlight even in summer is less than
so hours per week, and in winter it
averages less than 10 hours. In
New Mexico annual sunshine av-
erages about $3.50 hours, or about
500 hours more than the 2,750 in
