Let us listen once more to the
words Of Herodotus about ancient
Egypt The great traveller read what
he had written down and held the
interest OF large crowds on the
streets of Athens almost "a centuries
ago.
NO other country" he said, has
50 many wonders as Egypt. The
climate is different from that OF the
rest of the world. and the customs
of the people are different.
The women of Egypt go out to
the markets while the men STAY
home working at eSe loom. People
in general eat their food outdoors.

I'm other countries, priests have
long hair, but in Egypt their heads
are shaved. The Egyptians wear no
hair at any time except when they
mourn the death Of a relative. Then
they let their boards and the hair Of
their heads grow long.

The priests sacrifice bull which
does not have a single black hair.
They cut off its head and heap
curses on the head. Then they sell
it to a Greek trader, or throw it in
the river. They pray that any evil
may fall on that head, not on the
heads of the Egyptians. They will
never eat the head of any animal.
When they sacrifice in honor OF
the goddess Isis, they burn the bulls

Things ToDo In
The Victory Garden

With the Wartime Food Admins
tration urging utmost production in
home gardens, w. R. Ballard, spe-
cialist in vegetable gardening for
the University of Maryland extern
sion service, warns that there are
things to be done throughout the
growing season of the crops.
The number one job, he says, is to
prevent competition from weeds.
He advises cultivating no deeper
than is necessary to accomplish this
purpose, as deep cultivation Injuries
the roots of vegetables.
To develop properly, vegetables
must have room, Mr. Ballard states.
The space required by different
types will vary, depending upon the
variety and fertility of the soil In
formation in bulletins and other
helps on gardening gives approx
mate distances between plants, but
some experience and judgment as
to best spacing to obtain the highest
yield from given piece of ground
is necessary for maximum results
That is one way in which expert
enced gardeners can help those who
have had less experience.
If your vegetables have come toe
thickly in the row, Mr.. Ballard ad-
vises thinning them out. The ex-
cess plants are just the same as any
other weeds, he states, from the
standpoint of development of the
crop.
Keeping a constant and ample
supply of moisture in the soil is one
of the difficulties, especially in late
summer. Under normal conditions,
the equivalent of an inch of rain per
week is needed during the growing
season. Since rains are not usually
so evenly distributed and artificial
watering is not always practical,
gardeners must look to methods for
saving the moisture in the ground.
A common way to save moisture,
Mr.. Ballard says. is by use of
mulches. Various materials can be
used. Grass clippings, peat moss,
straw, excelsior, buckwheat hulls,
half-decayed sawdust, and ground
corn cobs have been used. Some
gardeners use several thicknesses of
newspapers laid down between rows
and held in place by putting soil or
other material on the edges. Mulches
not only aid in retaining moisture,
but tend to discourage growth of
weeds.

Bicycle Riding
Can Be Dangerous

Parents here, many of whom are
using bicycles themselves now with
automobile use restricted, should
supervise more carefully the use of
bicycles by their sons and daughters
who must be taught traffic rules and
proper ways to ride.
This suggestion was made today
by Earl H. Howard, Hagerstown
Branch Manager of the Automobile
Club of Maryland in pointing out
that many of the 900 deaths and
81 1000 injuries annually to bicyclists
can be prevented if parents will as
sumo greater responsibility in con-
nection with bicycle use by their
children. "Over half of these deaths
and injuries involve children from
5 to IA years of age" he said.
"Here are several suggestions for
parents, recommended by the Amer
lean Automobile Association with
which the Automobile Club of
Maryland is affiliated.
"See that all proper safety equip
ment is included when bicycles are
purchased. Make regular inspec-
tions to assure that this equipment
is in safe operating condition at all
times. Cooperate in enforcing rules
and regulations issued by schools
and police. Prohibit younger chill
dren from riding in busy traffic
streets until they have developed
skill. See that all learning is done
in parks, Fairgrounds or other safe
places away from traffic. Explain
what might happen if unnecessary
chances are taken, or if foolish
tricks are performed; and prohibit
smaller brothers and sisters from
riding on the handlebars or cross
bar.
