Col. James NICE. Huey, q retired
marine corps officer, is credited
with the unusual distinction Of hav-
ing experienced four seasons In less
than one week.
The incident occurred In March,
1887, while Colonel Huey was aboard
coastal ship cruising In equatorial
waters.
On March ~ the vessel crossed
the equator at 1880 a. m, going from
winter In the northern hemisphere
to summer In the southern. The
sun crossed the equator at $3.50 the
same morning, changing the season
from summer to fall.
Six days later the ship, travelling
northward, crossed the equator
again and ran into spring.
Ships, It is claimed, rarely are in
that particular position during the
passage Of the equinox.

Chemical Treatment Breaks
Rest for New Potatoes

Chemical treatment is the quick
est means Of breaking the rest peri
cd of new potatoes used for seed in
order to prevent delayed, uneven
sprouting.
Rest periods for immature pota-
toes are less readily broken than
for the mature tubers. The latter,
which normally show little or no
peeling, should be used for seed
when it is necessary to break the
rest period. The potatoes should be
cut Immediately before treatment.
Materials found to be most eff
fective are ethylene chlorohydrin
and thiocyanates or sodium and po-
tassium. Seed may be treated with
ethylene chlorohydrin either by
soaking or gassing. For soaking,
the pieces should be dipped in 8
per cent solution and placed in an
air-tight container for "a to 48
hours. The freshly cut seed may
be gassed by placing it in an air.
tight container with ethylene-chloro-
hydrin in q shallow pan. The
chemical should be used at the rate
of one pint for each 3.3 cubic feet
of space for a period Of IL hours.
Temperature during treatment with
this chemical should be held be-
tween 20 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
With sodium thiocyanate, the seed
should be dipped in a ! to 2 per
cent solution and held in an air.
tight container for "a hours. Tenn
perature during this treatment does
not seem to be important.

Before discarding a sweater be-
cause it has stretched out Of size
and shape make an attempt to re-
pair it. II the yoke has stretched,
put in a lining, correct in size,
across the shoulders and the front
chest. Fine brussels net or sheer
silk or crepe may be used and the
material need not be new, itkit is
firm and in good condition. Use
running stitches to put the lining in
the sweater and fasten it at the
neckline, shoulder seams and about
two or three inches down on the
armhole seams. Extra length in
sleeves or at the bottom of the
sweater may be raveled out and the
edges refinished with crochet.
Sometimes sweaters that are too
small can be made wearable
through clever use Of ribbon in
matching or contrasting color to in
crease size or length. If width
through the body of the garment is
needed, use the ribbon at the front
and around the neckline, cardigan
fashion, or around the collar. But
tonholes may be worked in the rib
bon or loops may be made at the
edge Of the ribbon. This plan may
also be used to add length to the
sleeves. Or length may be added
to both sweater and sleeves by
means Of a knitted or crocheted
ribbed section at the lower edge.

Drying Sweaters

Rinse sweaters In clear lukewarm
water, squeeze gently to remove as
much moisture as possible, then roll
or pat in a turkish towel to re-
move further moisture. After this,
lay out fiat to dry, fitting to meas
urements taken before washing. A
dry towel or cloth underneath will
encourage drying by absorbing the
moisture from the bottom. Quick
drying is always important, but par
ticularly so when two or more col
ors are combined in one garment.
Select q warm, airy place for dry
ing sweaters, but do not expose to
direct heat by placing on q hot radi-
ator or too close to : heater.

Focus Lengthens

At 10 years a child normally can
see, with little effort, an object
about three inches from his eyes. AT
20 years this point of clear vision,
called the near point. is about four
inches. At 80 years 1t moves out
to about ga inches, and at 40 the
near point Is 8iA inches. From then
on 1t recedes rapidly, standing at
Approximately 10 inches at SO, and
40 inches at so years. Because Of
this normal moving outward Of the
point Of near vision with advancing
age, most eyes require the aid of
glasses for reading and other close
visual tasks between the 10th and
soth year.

Old silver Center

In the 10th century, the Spaniards
obtained great amounts Of silver
from Potosi, Bolivia, now the center
OF the major tin-producing area.
They transported it across the At
lantic to bolster their military opera
tons in Europe. The wealth Of the
Potosi district has been legendary
since the days Of its "silver age
the days of by-gone centuries. Reck-
less, adventurous men Aocked to the
adobe town on q barren terrace 49,
900 feet above the sea. Potosi, In
those early times, was q ''boom

crowded the steep mountain trails,
prices Of necessities scared; -four
and eggs were more valuable than
silver. Silver dust was wAntonly
scattered In markets Of the little

1apanese Beetles

Only two Of the crops included IN
most gardens, sweet corn and snap
beans, are likely to be attacked by
japanese beetle pests. They some
times feed on the silk Of sweet corn
to such an extent that pollination
may be seriously affected. Hydrat-
ed lime busted on the silk serves
as repellent and deters the beetles
from feeding, but Il does not inter-
fere with pollination.
Japanese beetles feed avidly on
bean foliage but they are readily con-
trolled by the application Of rotenone
or pyrethrum dusts or sprays.

Perkins was to be transferred to the
head of the Federal Security admin
istration; McNutt would 60 to inte-
rior and Secretary of Interior Ickes
would head the labor department.
Ickes' Refusal
That scheme fell through because
Ickes didn't want to make the shift.
The result is that McNutt has been
left to struggle with a problem for
which some of his most sympathetic
critics say he is not fitted. He has
been unable to obtain an efficient
and experienced staff-some posts
are still vacant-others are said to
lack the technical knowledge neces-
sary to McNutt or anyone in his po-
sition. Such expert assistance would
be available in the labor department

specially of Madame Secretary"

CARBON COUNTY
DEFEATS HARDIN
Red Lodge Scores 49 Points
To 20 Points For Locals
On Red Lodge Court

The Carbon High team de-
feated Hardin on the Red Lodge
court, % to 40, last Thursday,
Feb. Is, in a fast game on their
small court.
During the first quarter, Red
Lodge opened up with a lead
that wasn't overcome by the
locals during the entire game.
Red Lodge scored eleven points
in this quarter to Hardin's one.
In the second quarter, both
teams rallied and made about
the same number of baskets.
Hardin was held out more in the
center of the floor, and they got
the range of the basket. Red
Lodge didn't stop altogether
either, for the half time score
was IS to % in favor of Red
Lodge.
During the third quarter, Red
Lodge was steadily improving
their defense and Hardin was
held out more in the center OF
the court. The local lads were
missing the hoop quite often, for
they couldn't get inside the Red
Lodge defense. Carbon County
tailed thirteen points in the
third quarter to the Bulldogs
five.
In the last quarter, Hardin
rallied after the first four min
utes, but it was too late in the
game.
Nayamatsu scored eight points
for high honors of the Bulldogs
and Beck of Red Lodge took
high honors of both teams with
a total of "a points.
