Ghost Of Highworth I'd.
Returns After Exorcism

BRISTOL, ENGLAND. - Mrs
It." the ghost of 10 Highworth I'd,
is back again-with a playmate.
Only recently the haunt was ex-
orcized by a Church Of England
vicar in a religious rite to drive
away spirits taken from early
Cristian records.
The peace of No. IS vas short
lived. Mr.. and Mrs. William Ba-
Der, who live in the house, say the
ghost now does a nightly routine
up and down the stairs with an
unidentified partner. Sometimes
it sounds like they're dancing,
sometimes like wrestling.
The Baber theory is that the
original ghost-which they named
Mrs. It's that of a pima who
died in the house 10 years ago.
Mrs. 1t" first began prowling
around the place in December.
The vicar, the Rev. Francis
Maddox, went through a rite of
exorcism after a month of nightly
uproar at No. Is.
One night the Bakers called in a
s%piritualist. All they found out is
that Mrs 1t" ID speaks a foreign
language-possibly Russian - and
(2) is an atrocious speller.
A ouija board was used to see
If she had any message. What
came out was "EEHFHMEV."

Try Dancing if Putting
Child to Sleep Difficult

HOLLYWOOD, CALF. - Gene
Nelson, movie dancer, started
dancing bedtime stories for his
baby a year ago. He didn't know
what he was getting into.
Nov l have to dance wake-up
stories for him." Nelson said, land
also feeding stories, bath time
stories and dressing stories. Not to
mention putting him to bed with
a dance, too"
This is a highly specialized type
of child training and Nelson can't
recommend it to every parent. But
it's very successful for him.
"Other parents envy me-" he
said, when l tell them 1 can get
the little guy to sleep just by run
ming through a rehearsal of the
dance I have to do the next day"
1t gradually took more and more
of papa's pas de deux, however, to
get baby to sleep. Then he started
working in Rosie O'Grady" and
dancing all day.
~ was a pretty tired father by
supper time" he said. II began to
wish I'd stuck to something con-
ventional. like singing lullabies."

insurance is based on the insured's
age on the effective date of the
policy and remains unchanged
through the term, usually for a
period of five years. Congress has
authorized the renewal of term in
surance issued before January 1,
1913, for an additional five-year
term at the expiration of the origi-
nal term period. Renewed policies,
however, carry a higher premium
rate based on the insured's age at
time of renewal.
Term insurance may be con-
verted to one or more of the six
permanent plans without a phys
ical examination at any time. I'm

pires at the end of the term period.
The premium rate for permanent

Yard and Garden

Cultivating The Garden

Cultivating The Garden
In spite of all the advances il
developing weed killing substances
the hoe still remains the best too
for weed killing that the home
gardener a employ. 1t is toe
impractical for the average gar
dener to use all the different weed
killers available for destroying
weeds in vegetable rows as these
are so selective in nature. He
must use one substance for carrots,
another for onions, still another
for sweet corn so any recommen-
dation using these methods could
result in much confusion. Some of
these weed killers are excellent for
the market gardeners and truck
gardener as they plant much larger
areas to vegetables. Best advise to
the small home gardener is to
leave them alone at least until
more information is acquired on
them.
Frequent light cultivation not
only kills weeds but also helps to
maintain a dust mulch which in
itself is a moisture conservation
measure. Weeds, in themselves, rob
the soil of much needed moisture
and plant food, so it is important
to destroy them as soon as they
appear. 1t is many times easier to
destroy a small weed as it is polk
ing its head from the ground than
later when its roots become well
established.
Some gardeners have the idea
that deep hoeing or cultivation is
beneficial. 1t is definitely harmful.
Stirring the soil to too great a
depth may encourage excessive dry
ing out. But the main damage it
does is destroy many fine roots of
plants that feed near the surface
of the ground. Destruction of
these fine feeding roots lowers the
ability of the plant to produce
maximum yields.
Most garden plants have roots
feeding neal the soil surface. Gull
tivation should involve only a light
scraping action to loosen up crusts
that form on the top of the ground.
Cultivation a day or so after heavy
as soon as the ground can
be worked, is beneficial in break
ing up these crusts. If the soil
is cultivated after a light rain,
much of the moisture may be lost
through this action.

official hoopla that goes with such trips, and
they even have q soft feeling for the tax

Edward H. Rees, of Kansas, and Frances
P. Bolton, of Ohio, paid their own way over
to Europe last fall simply because they
wanted to learn more about the continents

The Herter Committee, which acted as
watchdog" in the early days of the Mar
shall Plan, staggered European officials by
the volume and intensity of its work. Those
men wouldn't let fact loose once they'd
gotten hold of it" one Austrian official said
after their visit. They wanted to know

Congressman like these make favorable
impression on Europeans. What's more inn
portant, they 60 back to Washington with
solid information and far better under
standing of Europe's problems These days,
when American policy is SO closely
linked to what goes on abroad, the
extent of CONGRESSES information may
well be critical factor in Americas
future. ....,
Despite the rowdy conduct and the slap
dash public fulminations of many of our
congressional innocents abroad, the ennis
saries from Capitol Hill who really mean
business are doing an important job for all
America. At all our diplomatic and military
outposts abroad, comment on the junkets is
the same and follows the line of one Ameri-
can ambassador in Western Europe who
said
1--WE don't want fewer junkets, we want
more. We can send hundred reports
through channels to the State Department,
but they'll never be as important as single
trip by single Congressman who really
wants to see for himself what's going on. If
the committee chairmen in Washington send
over men who mean business, the tax
payers can count their money well spent.
They'll be getting well-informed legis-
lature. We never needed one more than we
do today" The End
