LINCOLN'S NEW SALEM, ILL.
II have made two trips through
the village of New Salem. This
place, as made over again, has %
buildings. The buildings are of
one story, but some of them have
lofts. It used to be the custom for
men and boys in q family to sleep
in the loft.
The cabins are spread over q
fairly wide area. In some parts of
the village, a visitor must walk
several hundred feet to 60 from
one cabin to another.
One large cabin is like the build
ing which Samuel Hill used as a
carding mill. Hill used the machin-
cry to prepare raw wool for use.
Behind the cabin is a huge wooden
wheel on a slant. An OK was driven
lon such a wheel, and 1t kept on
walking to keep from sliding down
the slope of the wood. The motion
|of the ox's feet made the wheel
turn, and big iron gears moved as
la result. The gears operated the
lcarding machine inside the cabin.
Another cabin was the home of
Peter Lukins. He used to make
shoes for folk of the village.
A fact which seems strange Is
this: the shoes were just alike for
| the right and left feet. It was
common In those days for shoe

I uke NV Word for 1t

Houston: I've been reading a lot
about the "Pravda" lately. I know
it's a Russian newspaper, but what
does 1t mean? MRS. M. L.
Answer: Pravda is the name of
the official news and propaganda
organ of the Soviet party. Ironically
Ito us, at least) pravda is the Rus
sian word for truth" 1t is pro-
|nounced: PRAHV-dah.
San Bernardino: Will you please
distinguish between the words ma
terial and materiel? I know there's
IA difference, but I do not know ex-
actly what. &C. w. r.
Answer: The words are twins, and
are derived from the Latin materia,
matter or stuff of which anything
is composed"
The English word material (spelled
-iaD has SO many meanings that,
standing by itself, it can hardly be
said to mean anything, and must
be qualified by additional words, as:
Material for book, dress materials,
material wealth, raw materials, etc.
In military and naval circles q
single word was needed to replace
such cumbersome phrases as ina
terials and supplies necessary for
waging war" SO the French word

INT. Pass Pass Pass
When you realize that something
could be anything from an ace down
to a almost anything, 1t is clear
that there could be q wide range
OF strength between minimum and
maximum holding.
Today the high-card strength for
an opening one no-trllmp is held
between narrow limits-three and
one-half to four honor tricks or IS
to IS points In the work count or
about an IL to IL count. four aces.
In the hand Just before this one,
Mr.. FuSty, whose bidding methods
60 back to auction days, opened
one no-trump with jack above an
average hand. In this deal, as you
see, he made the same opening
with three aces, a king, three queens
and two jacks. It's pretty hard to
know when to raise him and when
to pass.
Mr.. Dale, with hopeless looking
suits of his own, decided to try and
hit something in his partners hand
and opened the seven of spades.
The four was played from dummy
and, after some thought, Mrs. Keen
won with the ace. Mr.. Fusty drop
ping the jack. A spade was re-
turned and dummy's ten won.
A successful heart finesse was
taken and Mr.. Fusty then led a
small diamond and put up drmmy's
queen. Mrs. Keen won with the
king and led a third spade, taken
by dummy's king.
Thus, Mr.. Fusty was enabled to
take another heart f1neSSe and rack
up nine tricks-two spades, three
hearts, three clubs and a diamond.
Mrs. Keen could have held him a
trick by ducking the first spade
lead, thereby killing one Of the
entries to the board.
Maybe you'd better tell me more
about your opening no-trump bids, .
said Mr.. Champion, testify.
"I just told you on the last
hand" replied Mr. Fusty, "they mean
I have better than an average hand
and no bidable suit"
I'm my league" went on Mr..
Champion, IAN opening no-trump
shows from 40 per cent to a little
less than so per cent Of the high
cards. Your hand was too strong
for that bid"
I'm my league" said Mr.. Fusty
~they mean just what I told you
twice." Ii x-
Mr.. Champion correctly figured
there was no point in discussing the
matter further.

Still another cabin belonged to
the Rutledge family. This was
used as small hotel. As we see it
today, it has three rooms, as well
as a loft. Abe Lincoln seems to
have slept in the loft during some

Officials of the Fish and
Wildlife Service say that
Virginia has no epizootic of
fox rabies on the scale of the
one that has terrified persons
in Pennsylvania this year.
But when foxes are too nu-
merous anywhere, rabies can
sweep through them. Such
Virginia counties as Lou
doun, Clarke, Prince William,
Fauquier and Warren either
pay bounties on foxes or
have set up full control
programs.
In Fairfax County, Game
Warden Brown has the help
of two trappers, Tom Harrison
and Lester Afford. He and
other wardens and trapperS
in Virginia also have had the
guidance of S. M. Canup of
the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Mr.. Canup has sparked pro-
grams in Georgia which have
led to the trapping of $4,000
foxes since 1945.
Mr.. Brown favorS the dirt
hole set" for trapping foxes,
He trowels out a small hole
Slanting into the ground. He
sprinkles meat scraps into
the hole and drops scent"
outside. He places the trap
just outside the hole. When
the fox shifts the hole, his
paw springs the trap.
Evening star., 1952-04-27


reach out and tickle a curl
Gus fox under the chin. The
presence of bait does not fully
explain this appeal. Even a
fox with a full. meal in his
grasp will investigate the
trap. Mr.. Canup cites the
case of a fox which late one
night was trotting down a
trail carrying freshly killed
rabbit. At the dirt-hole set
the fox dropped the rabbit,
jabbed his inquisitive nose
into the hole and stepped in
the trap.
Thousands of foxes have
been caught without bait.
The trapper simply places a
few drops of scent near the
trap. One type of scent is
made by grinding fish, such
as trout, and mixing it with
glycerin. This mixture is
perfume to a fox.
Now and then a willy fox
refuses to fall for the dirt
hole set. The experienced
trapper then digs another
hole about 20 feet away. He
puts a trap outside, but does
not bait or scent the hole.
The fox still avoids the baited
hole but finds the undated
hole an irresistible spot to
investigate.
The fox'S cousin, the coyote,
has this same fatal curiosity.
Wildlife officials in Washing
ton still chuckle about the
New Mexico coyote that
scorned all bats until the
trapper parked a half smoked
cigar on a fence post. The
cigar odor so excited the
coyote that he forgot his eau
ton and stepped into the trap
below.
The Fairfax County control
program seems to meet the
approval of those who wish
to conserve the fox popula-
ton as game. In other States,
persons who have fought con-
troll programs have some
times been convinced other
wise by unusual methods.
One man who had blocked a
control program in his county
was chased up a tree with a
mad fox hanging to his pants
leg.
Sensible precaution prevails
on the problem in Fairfax
County; so, today, Game
Warden Fred Brown is ac-
lively practicing his theory
that curiosity kills the fox.
Evening star., 1952-04-27
Curiosity Also Kills Foxes

WHEN Game Warden Fred
w Brown undertook to
reduce the fox population of
Fairfax County, Va. a friend
asked:
Haven't you ever heard the
expression, smart as a fox?
How do you expect to trap
them?"
Mr.. Brown agreed that a
fox is cunning. However, the
game warden told his friend,
a fox has more curiosity than
a small-town neighbor. He
pokeS his nose into more
things that don't concern him
than do the old ladies at the
Wednesday afternoon knitting
club. Curiosity is his fatal
weakness.
The 100000 persons and the
500 to 1000 foxes in Fairfax
County got along pretty we'll
until 1852. Then the county
supervisors, fearing foxes
might bring rabies into the
county, set up control pro-
gram. Three days after they
formally approved the pro-
gram, a rabid fox chased Mrs.
Lillian Lee of FloriS across
her yard. She Scampered
through her kitchen door just
in time. Three weeks later,
Mrs. Clarence Blevins of
Braddock road, near Fairfax.
escaped being bitten only be-
cause her dog defended her
against a rabid fox.
