Life on the farm is far more haz-
ardous for the farmer and his sons
than it is for his wife and his daugh-
ters.
In fact, a survey covering $4,000
farms the country over, made by
the department of agriculture, re-
veals that about four times as many
accidents happened to men and boys
between the ages of IA and IS as
were suffered by farm women and
girls. OF the youngsters under IA
injured, nearly IS per cent were
boys.
More farm people were injured
by falls than any other type Of ac-
cident, with the majority of mishaps
involving falling on steps and stairs
and from vehicles. Men and boys
were victims of twice as many in
juries from falls as were women
and girls.
Of the total number Of farm ac-
cidents, Sc per cent were connected
with farm work and 8 per cent with
housework. The age period from
Is to As was disclosed as the most
dangerous.

It looked plain enough that John

Nedra dressed hurriedly. went

''Is it a hurricane?" Nedra asked

Don't stay long. I'm beginning

I think not"
She'd hardly disappeared before

Electricity Assures
Water for Livestock
Economical Installation

Electricity, which has eased the
farmers chores, has come to the
aid Of farm animals, too.
Through the medium of electric
ity, Dobbin and Bossy no longer
need fear that their drinking water
supply will be shut off during the
cold winter months.
Tests by agricultural engineers
have demonstrated that electricity
is economical to provide warm wa
ter for livestock during the winter.
Watering devices were operated at
cost as low as 70 kilowatt hours
per month, representing an outlay
of 40 at two cents per kilowatt.
Some farmers are finding that
their installations are expensive to
operate, principally because of lack

ma asked in Nedra's own jargon.
'That was John,'' Nedra ex-
claimed breathlessly.
Gramma Strengthened her neat
black toque and got herself better
organized. Then Nedra's voice
came suddenly accusingly, "And
you knew it all the time. You did
this on purpose" She whirled
around angrily, "I'm going to my
cabin and I'm going to stay there"
Nedra kept her word. She stayed
in all day, even though after she'd
had her dinner, Gramma reminded
her that there was nothing on earth
more beautiful than a moonlit eve
ming at sea.
what do I care about silly old
moon," Nedra retorted in a voice
that shook with tears.
TT SEEMED a stalemate, so Gram
ma went on deck alone and soon
found John, his boyish face looking
tired and drawn even in the semi
light. Gramma slipped into the
chair beside him, and he said un-
happily, Look here, Gramma, a
man can't 60 a thousand miles
away, more or less, to forget a
girl and stay on the same boat
with her all the way"
''Why don't you two youngsters
make up?"

before marriage, we'd do the same
thing afterward. We're trying to be
logical and modern but - his
voice trailed away sadly.
''Well, someday you'll meet an
other GIRL" Gramma said lightly.
''That'n never happen >. never.
Don't even mention q thing like
that" Johns voice was hoarse
with pain.
But just the same. it looked more
and more as if Gramma's plotting

The next moment he had her in
his arms. "And I still love you,
John. The moment ] knew the ship
was in danger, I thought of you"
Nedra's voice was happy whisper.
He bent his head and tilted her
chin, (Which only goes to prove,
dearest, that love is something that
escapes all logic and reason and
analysis. We can't argue ourselves
out Of it just on the pretense Of
being realistic"
'We were silly to think we could"
Nedra agreed softly.
''The only reason we quarreled,"
John went on, twas because of my
absurd jealousy; because I love you
so very much"
''No," Nedra contradicted ador-
ingly, ''it was my bad temper"
John shook his head quickly.
''You have the temper Of an angel,
and Wen never, never quarrel again
in the future .. if there is a
future left to u.s." he finished brave
ly.
Neither Of them was aware that
the wind had ceased its wild roar
and the deceitful sea had suddenly
become as calm and benign as a
summer day.
Still holding each other in a close
embrace. they hardly heard Gram
ma when she came back and saw
them together. "Just squall," she
murmured softly as she went into
her own stateroom, a happy smile
wreathing itself around her lips.

Fire-FIies Use Light
Sionuls to Find Mates

Man uses light signals in mod

been using this method of signal
ing for thousands of years. Fire
flies have their light appartus on

The intermittent light flashes are
signals that enable these beetles to
find their mates. This Luminous

''It's been the desire Of my life
to travel on a fruit-boat," Gram
ma said fervently.
Nedra stared at her for q mo-
ment; then yielded. I'm that case

So it happened that in a very
few more days, Gramma and Nedra
found themselves on q fruit-boat
bound for the intriguing destination
of Trinidad. And on their very first
morning on deck, they both saw a
tall, dark young man standing at
the rail, gazing moodily out to sea.
Nedra's heart almost stopped.
She clutched Gramma'sI arm and
drew her around to the other side
so quickly that she almost lost her

NEDRA had been crying. Sitting
in her chair by the big window
in the living room, Gramma went
on knitting. In one quick glance
she'd seen that the girl had tried
to hide the tear-stains by an mex
pert dabbing of powder around her
pretty blue eyes.
After a minute Gramma said cas-
ually, "John left early"
''And not a minute too soon,"
Nedra returned quickly, sinking
deeper into the fireside chair and
turning her face away.
''Ho, so you two had a quarrel"
Gramma knitted little faster than
before.
mo, a conflagration, an explo-
sion, dissolution, a parting OF the
ways" Nedra's voice was both
angry and vehement, and a little
fearful too.
LAS bad as that?" Gramma in
quired mildly.
II gave him his ring. It's all
over" Nedra swallowed a sob
quickly.
Gramma made a little clucking
sound but she went on plying her
needles industriously.
At last Nedra burst out unhap-
PLY. well, aren't you going to
console me, or congratulate me,
whichever the case may be?"
Gramma stopped knitting for
moment, looked up. "You and John
have quarreled before. They are
something like the squalls we'd
sometime meet up with on the Saint
Lawrence when I'd made trip
with your grandfather on his steam
er. He was sea-captain, you
know. Well, there'd be terrible
lot of noise and wind, and then the
most beautiful calm you ever saw.
It's natural for people in love like
you and John to quarrel once in a

Nedra sat up. Darling, you're
an incurable sentimentalist. John

analytical about love, as all young
people are nowadays. We've had
several bitter quarrels since we be-
came engaged, so we've simply had
to face the fact that we're not COM
patible and that marriage would be
a mistake"
1T was sensible of course to face
this before it was too late"
Its the modern way" Nedra
said in small, desolate voice.
But love is not modern" Gram
ma observed quietly. Then she
added, ''but of course someday
you'll meet the right man."
The sudden white horror of Ned
ra's sweet face was like shock.
"'There'n never be another man,
never!" she exclaimed passionate
ly, as she rose and left the room.
Two or three days passed. One
day at noon Nedra was lying on a
chaise Tongue in her room, istlessly
turning the pages of a magazine
when Gramma burst in, excitingly
waving two important looking tick
cts.

places. We're shipping on a fruit
boat for for - she studied
the tickets for moment, ''for Trim

asked indifferently, still pretending
to be interested in her magazine.
Gramma lifted her shrewd dark
brows. my dear, I don't seem to
have the slightest idea, but if we
stay on the boat long enough, I
imagine We'll find out"
Nedra sat up. ''Now, look, you

limited States Cannot
Sue Itself, 3-Judge
Statutory Court Rules

A three-judge statutory court yes
terday afternoon ruled the United
States cannot sue itself.
In a paradoxical situation, the
United States brought suit in Dis
trict Court last year, asking the
court to set aside an order OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission
which gave approval of wharfage
charges by certain railroads lead
ing into Norfolk, Va. Defendants IN
the suit, in turn, were the 1CC and
the United States.
The wharfage charge, it was said
by counsel, amount to several million
dollars. The three Judge court, in an
opinion written by Justice Alexander
HoItzoff, pointed out that, for
number of years, railroads nave
charged wharfage amounting to 4
cents per 100 pounds at seaports
Took One Pier in War.
During World War II the tribunal
pointed out the Government took
over the piers land performed
wharfage services itself with its own
employees" for shipments by the War
Department.
"Nevertheless," the opinion said,
"the railroads persisted in charging
and the Government continued to
pay the full traffic rate for trans
portation, which included 4 cents
per 100 pounds as cost OF wharfage" !"
Because the Government itself
had performed the wharfage serv-
ices, the United States filed a COM
plant with the ICC, asking repara-
tions at the rate of cents per 100
pounds on all of the goods handled
by the Government at Norfolk.
The ICC dismissed the complaint.
This resulted in the United States
filing suit as plaintiff and naming
both the ICC and the United States
as defendants.
Ruling of Court.
The three Judge court held:
"It is the view of this court = q
that this action may not be main
tanned, as the United States OF
America is both plaintiff and de-
fendant. This conclusion" added
Evening star., 1948-06-29

the court, 'is accentuated by the
fact that it is the duty of the Justice
Department, under the statute to
defend the action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission"
Necessarily, the department may
not be on both sides Of the case.
Yet an examination of the petition
filed by the United States, and Of
the answer filed in its behalf, indi-
Gates that both pleadings were
signed by the same Assistant Attor-
ney General"
The court did hold. however, that
the United States may sue the rail-
roads themselves.
David o. Mathews, special as
sistant to the attorney general, said
he will recommend an appeal from
the three-judge tribunals decision.
MIR. Matthews said that one rail-
road alone has settled for more
than $4,000.
Hearing the case with Justice
Holtzoff were Justices Bennett
Champ Clark of the Court of Ap-
peals and Matthew F. MCGUIRE OF

VIRGINIA BEACH, April IS
Free from the tremendous pressure
Of the Masters tournament and two
weeks away from the start Of the
summer tour at the National Capital
Open in Washington, II of the
Nations and the worlds pro golf
greats are here having the time
OF their lives.
Tomorrow afternoon the pros will
present the Cavalier Specialists
tournament. A brainchild of the
great Byron Nelson, who in q news
paper column several months ago
suggested the pros participate in a
shotmaking World Series.
An ambitious promoter here took
UP Nelson's challenge and with the
exception Of Lloyd Mangrum, who
is in California for his brothers
wedding, and Ben Hogan, under
going medical treatment in New
York, the pros selected by the golf
writer's Of America as the best at
certain typeshots, all are on hand.
Here, the pros are honored guests
They have been decked out in smart
crimson sport coats with pocket-size
insignia, tradition heretofore for
Ryder Cup teams and Masters tour
nament winners. All have been
promised sizable guarantees for
their appearance, and there's extra
cash awaiting the top finishes in

The captains OF the nve-man team
for tomorrow's all-star match, Wal

hand along with Bobby Locke, slated
to handle the putting for one team:

Hagen and Sarazen will name
their teams tonight. Both will take

|Jeannene-Led Rally
Puts Bullets | Up
In BAA PIayoff
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, April 16.-Cham-
pionships haye become such habit
with Buddy Jeanette that the fiery
leader of the Baltimore Bullets has
only the Philadelphia Warriors to
convince he'll bring the Basket Ball
Association of America title here.
The Bullet player coach doesn't
recognize the word lose" and he's
got his team and rooters going
along with him. They've been
counted out more times than a
punch-drunk boxer, but always
have rebounded principally because
of the irrepressible Jeannette.
Although he's now 80 years old,
Jeannette still is the Bouncing
Buddy" of the court who, in 10
years of pro ball, is recognized as
one of the cagiest cagers in the
game.
Buddy started his championship
parade with Detroit when it won
the world title in 1941. With the
Zollners, Jeannette was on a world
title team for three straight years,
was named to the league all-star
team three times running and twice
was voted the circuits most valu-
able player.
Baltimore lured him away in
1916 and he coached and led the
team to championship of the Amer
lean League. He bids fair to re-
peat this season, Baltimore's first
in the Basket Ball Association of
America.
Jeannette's main forte is as a
play-maker and leader. But he's
also in there with points, usually
when they count the most.
Last night here he shot goal
in the last 10 seconds Of play to
get Baltimore a 72-70 win in the
third game of the series and give
it a 2 to / lead over the Warriors.
The fourth game Of the four-of-
seven series will be played here to-
morrow night.
