Socialism and Communism in this

is the amateur legal guys in Govt.

the coal mines, gas, air lines, most
of the trucks, the Bank of England

from oil, gasoline prices west O

Answer: Several theories are men
toned by H. L. Mencken in his ad-
mirable book, "The American Lam
guage," including: IT have been told
that the locution originated, in
America, in the fact that the old
time horse trainers, having a ner-
vous horse to handle, put goat in
its stall to keep it company. When
the goat was taken away, the horse
yielded to the heebie-jeebies and so
was easily beaten on the track"

During his young manhood. 4

During his young manhood, Il
G. Wells decided to become writer,
but he earned his living by teaching.
Books seldom provide enough money
to pay the costs of life during the
early years of production.
Wells became a tutor and also
taught small groups of students.
He did well enough in this, but be-
fore long his health failed him. He
became a victim of the dread dis
ease known as tuberculosis.
Going to town on the southern
coast of England, he rested, and
slowly won back his health. Hardly
well, but forced to work to live, he
returned to London, and there met
a magazine editor who helped him
find his way in the world of writing
Novels soon were streaming from
the pen of the young man. From
the age of 20 to the end Of his long
life, he kept on producing books
averaging more than one year
during some periods.
Wells wrote so many books that

Take NV Word for 1t By F'e"k ce'b,

Atlanta: Why is there but one "l'
In the word belfry?-Mrs. G.
Answer: Although the modern
belfry is "bell tower" the original
Middle English word had no con-
nection whatever with church bells
or with churches. Quite the con-
trary; it was word of war. Belfry
Is a corrupted spelling of berfray
meaning IAN attacking machine Cor
tower) on wheels, used by besiegers. u
Later, berfray came to mean watch
tower" and, still later, any tower
on building or church. When 1t
became customary to put bells in
towers, the spelling was changed to
belfry through influence of the word
bell. It's hard to believe that the
belfry is the prototype of the mod
ern tank, but it's true.
Los Angeles: Can you tell us how
the expression mot dry behind the
ears" originated?-R. V.
Answer: The expression is said to
have originated among the Dutch
of early Pennsylvania. Noticing
that animals just born are promptly
licked dry everywhere but behind
the ears, the Dutch coined the
phrase to designate a mere young
ster. Says De We're 1850: Rustic
maidens, rejecting the attentions of
youths whom they consider too
young to be of special value as
lovers, are fond of saying You are
not dry yet behind the ears; you
had better wait"
Boston: What is the origin of the
anchor insigne worn on the cap of
naval officers?-W. H. P.
Answer: The insigne Gn-SIG-
nee), an anchor with a cable loosely
wound about its shank, was first
used by Lord Howard of Effingham
In 1901 when he was Lord High Ad-
miral. The correct name. of the

Tomato Late Blight
In Sussex County
continued from first pagel


from Plant Disease Survey Warn
ing Services Report No Al dated
July 2S, 1850, quoting Paul R. Mill
er Sir, Plant Pathologist in Charge
of Plant Disease Survey, United
States Department of Agriculture:
81 would like to point out that,
according to our records, late
blight on tomatoes is more widely
distributed today than it was on
July rs, 1946. Also, it would ap-
pear, from the various reports re-
ceived from various states during
the past two weeks, that potential
ly it is also as destructive, if not
more So"
In view of the above report, it
is suggested that tomato growers
follow a spray or dusting schedule
to either prevent or arrest the
spread of late blight: Control
should consist of weekly applica-
tions of spray material preferably
6-3-10O Bordeaux mixture or a fix
ed copper spray. Complete cover
age of the plant with spray materi-
al is essential for good control
Dusts are not as satisfactory but
may be used if necessary. Cope,
dusts applied at weekly intervals
will help to check the disease. Gov
erage is also important in applying
dust and farmers should cover botF
the top and bottom of the leaves
and inner parts of the plant to OBJ
tain satisfactory control. The dis
ease spreads rapidly in wet wea
ther accompanied by cool nights
so these periods necessitate com
plete control measures.
