RAYS CORNER

A reader, Mr.. e. T. Wooley, has
sent some notes about Indians and
sinkholes in a recent letter.
Some time ago." he writes, "you
referred, to the famous sink, or
sinkhole, of Alachua County, Flori-
da. I wish to say that I lived eight
miles south of the sinkhole, for a
period of seven years. Your story
about the stoppage of the outlet
and the formation of a shallow lake
In the large marsh known as Paines
Prairie Is correct.
This prairie takes its name from
old Chief Paine of the Alachua
band of the Smoke Indians, who
lived in that part of Florida q hum
dred years before. Old Chief Paine's
village had been only q quarter of
. mile from my home.
1.-THE Alachua sink was about 80
feet wide, and there was q large
sandstone boulder in the middle Of
It. The waters went around that
rock with the swtftness Of mill

II was very young when the lake
was formed on Paines Prairie, but
my memory of it is as fresh today
as when the event took place. I am
II years Of age, and look back on
my sojourn in Florida with q great
deal Of interest.
II lived only q mile from q little
town which was named after Chief
Paine's daughter. There are seven
lakes within a distance of 20 miles
of this town. An old Indian legend
says that all these lakes are joined
by underground passages, and that
the Indians could travel from one
to another by the underground tun-
nels.
Florida is one of the strangest
lands on earth. It has underground
rivers, sinkholes, Indian mounds
and wonderful springs"
It was kind Of Mr.. Wooley to
tell these memories of his boyhood.

of choicest gossip.
A great deal of the gossip CEN

innuendo or direct Interrogation,
was on everybody's lips in the up

that the socially elite of the city

In the times in which the prophet
Jeremiah lived many, II not most Of
the prophets were thoroughly evil
men. They pretended TO have visions
from the Most High and to interpret
them TO the people, but IN reality
they were not in touch with COD at
all and lived most corrupt lives. This
grieved and angered Jeremiah, and
he spent his whole life dcnouncmg
them and their WickcdncSS-and ma
turally they didn't like him very well.
In fact, at one time they pat him IN
the stocks for il. After being released
from the stocks, however, Jeremiah
roundly berated the man who put
him in and later released him.
jeremiah was born at Anathoth, a
village northeast of Jerusalem, but

Russia Said 10 Have Taken New Step in Euro-
 pedn Conflict

KAUNAS, Lithuania, May 22.- A sensational report is circulated throughout the Lithuanian capital that the Russian Government has ordered an immediate halt to all shipments of Soviet oil to Germany.
 The report is said to have orig mated in authoritative quarters close to the Soviet Legation.
 It is said that even oil now in transit to Germany over Lithuanian railroads has been ordered recalled to Russia.
 A major portion of Russian oil shipments to Germany have been going by way of the rail line across Lithuania which links Moscow with Koenigsburg in East Prussia.
 No explanation for the reported Soviet action was given.
 The reported stoppage of Russian oil, in effect, might prove a decisive factor in favor of the Allies as Ger manys war machine depends almost exclusively on mechanized equip ment and airplanes which are use- less without fuel
 Russia has been credited generally with supplying large part of Ger man oil supplies.

Presidential Candidate
 Taft Conducting His Own
 Campaign in Sincere Way
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 22 Any writer of any consequence can get an interview any time with any candidate for almost any political office--and you can bet anything you want that any candidate with common sense is going to do his best to give any writer only that impression and material which will reflect greatest credit to him, the candidate.
 That's why it's fun, sometimes, to do a little figurative keyhole peeping and see what traits a can didate will disclose when he's off, guard.
 That's why. caught in corner of an inner sanctum of Senator Bob Taft's presidential campaign headquarters, surrounded only by Taft friends and workers. I kept my mouth shut when the Senator himself made his appearance.
 That's how I'm able to pass along a five-minute profile of a presidential candidate with his hair (what there is of it) down.
 In those five unguarded min utes he did three things:
 1. Asked advice, weighed the source, and didn't take it.
 2. Kicked the props out from under the pardonable enthusiasm of one of his lieutenants.
 3. Gave his press department boys headache by correcting their count on some unhatched chickens, and then tried to ease their pain by dictating a con-
