rida State Annual Tennis Tourna-
ment held in Nassau Aug. 1913.
Mrs. Gussie DobbS, Speech Cor
rectionist was the guest speaker
us on the Importance of the teach
and she magnificently impressed
er, the parent, and subsequently
the child being able TO speak
correctly. She gave several ex-
erciseS that we could use in the
classroomS.
A. L. Lewis was extremely
proud to welcome three new
teachers, Miss Mary L. Robinson,
Mrs. Valerie B. Kemp, and Miss
Annie M. Keys. Miss Robinson
was a former inferno here and
Mrs. Kemp, pioneer teacher. We
were also pleased to welcome
new names, though not new faces
in the persons of Mrs. Freder-
icka Brown nee Simons, and Mrs.
Mildred McKinne nee Kelly. We
also anticipate the presence of
two internes Johnny Brown anu
Miss Rosetta Scott. Both of these
are students of Bethune Goodman
College.
Miss Edna DeVeaux gave us a
hearty welcome and briefed us
on policies for ensuing year. The
atmosphere now is geared for
doing as each realizes the sever
ity of his responsibility to the
child and the community.

OF course, if any brain damage
has already occurred, the valve
can't repair it. That's why it's
important to catch hydrocephalus
early.
Already, with hundreds of n.y.
drocephalics in the PHILADELPHIA
area alone, the demand for valves
is so heavy that Hotter is arrang-
ing to expand production but at
virtually no profit. Even though
desperate parents would pay al
most anything for these life-sav-
ing valves, Hotter provides them
for negligible figure. "You can't
gouge people when their hearts
are being torn apart every day."

that DR.. Spitz has reported his
sensational findings to the Amer

The genius of the Hotter valve
is that it's powered by natural

SUGARCANE

One of the interesting sights
observed by visitors in the Deep
South is to see people at this
Season with a stalk of sugarcane.
Sometimes a number of stalks
are seen in cars, in grocery stores,
at filling stations, or other places.
The younger generation and
sometimes the oldSters are seen
along the highways or in fields
or elsewhere with a stalk. 1t
is no figure of speech to say these
pesons have a juicy morsel.
We, who are familiar with sug-
arcane, know that there is much
delightful chewing in store for
the posseSsors of these stalks.
Inside the hard outer rind is a
softer pith laden with a juice
ric hin sugar. This juice is not
only delightful to the taste but
is nutritious as well. lie satisfies
a between-meal hunger that we
all experience at times.
The custom of chewing sugar
cane is neither new nor limited
in area. 1t is safe to suggest that
people throughout the broad
sugarcane belt of the world sat-
isfy thei hunger in this primitive
where it is not grown, a reasona-
bly, close substitute is used. This
is sorghum cane.
In backward countries where
sugar factories and syrup pans
are not available the chief man
ner of use for food is to chew
the pulp. This was probably the
earliest use made of sugarcane
by man.
WHAT IS sUGARANE?
If we asked this question OF
many people, we would get a
great variety of answers, de-
pending on their interest and
knowledge of the subject. Since
it is a plant, let US consider 1t
from the point of view Of the
botanist.
Sugarcane, like many of our
most important foo dplants, is a
member of the Gramlnae or

sons are better. In the tropics it
can be grown from IL to IS
months before cutting. One plant
ing there may serve for 5 to 10
years but in this country it is
better to make new planting
each year. This is because the
plants cannot withstand the
cold weather here.
Sugar has been an article of
commece for over 14OO years. It
is known to have been shipped
from India to Europe about 500
AID. Just how long the Indians
had been making and using
white suger is not known. Sugar
cane is known to have been cult
waited extensively in the Nile
Valley during the 9th century.
1t was introduced into Santo
Domingo soon after the discovery
of America and has been an inn
portantcrop in tropical America
ever since. '@g1rcEfG ZG9E rs

Grass Family. This fact means
to him that it is a plant with
roots that grow out from the
nodes or joints near or under
the ground. TIL ESTEEM is nearly
made up of nodes and inter-
nodes. The outer wall is hard and
the inner portion is either hol-
low or pithy with thread-like
bundles. A leaf arises from each
node, alternating sides, forming
two ranks. The leaves have cuffs
that clasp the stem or stalk. There
is a bud in the upper axil of
each leaf. The leaves are long
and slender with parallel leaves.
The seeds, if produced at all,
ae grains.
These characteristics put any
plant in the Grass Family. Now,
there are hundreds of garsses,
many of which man uses. But
sugacane is specific gass. By
virtue of other characteristics it
is known by the scientific name
of Sacch arum Officinarum.
Normally the kind we use grows
from 8 to Is feet tall and has
40 to 60 joints. 1t is fom l to 2
inches in diameter. In the United
States it arely if ever produces
seeds.
HEREDITY
Even though we call sugarcane
by the name Sacchaum Officin-
arum, it is not a pure species.
There are at least four other
species from different parts of
the world, each having its own
characteristics and qualities. In
the hands of plant breeders, our
"noblue" cane has been crossed
with other members of the genus
Saccharum in order to introduce
certain desired qualities which
were lacking and could be trans
mitted to our cane by the cross
pollination. Only seed producing
cane can be crossed.
At different times since sugar
cane has been an Important
item for commerce the sugar in
dustry has been almost wiped
out because cetain diseases would
attack the valuable suga produc-
ing type. In order to save the
suar production for the world, a
new strain of cane, resistant to
tn edisease, would have to be de-
veloped. In each emergency, this
was accomplished.
But, how can sugacane be eros
sed? In this country it cannot
be done except in. a dollhouse

or all characteristics wanted. This
new strain resists the disease
and restores the sugar industry
GEOGRAPHICAL ASPECTS
Sugarcane is distributed a.
round the world in all warm
climates. In the Northern Hem
isphere it may be grown as far
north as the 40th parallel in
favorable areas and as far as the
Bind parallel in the Southern
Hemisphere. In the United States
the 33rd parallel is about the
northern limits. Even in the
Southern states where it Is
grown, it is not always produced
for sugar 1t is profitable to grow
for syrup, which is delightful
food rich in energy and iron.
Sugarcane cannot be grown
satisfactorily in a climate that
has less than eight months grow

What has our Navy now got
that's causing our strategists to
assign it ever increasing roles in
the struggle for world power?
When l landed on the deck of
the Randolph, the difference be-
tween the old Navy and the new
began to show. One needle-nosed

SKINNED low over the MED" and
then zoomed upward in an almost
vertical climb. Seconds later, from
5000 feet, this supersonic jet hurl-

and then into the sea within 100
yards of its target, the plane roll

This new 'lofting" technique of
bombing permits delivery of real
atomic weapons from surprisingly
low attitudes, yet lets the pilot
live to tell intelligence officers
what he hit.
. THE Navy now has very great
atomic capacity" was the way
I Vice Admiral Charles R. Brown
put it. That was obvious as I
watched skilled technicians slide
fat blue Regulus missiles into
launching platforms, ready to
zoom 500 miles with hydrogen or
atomic warheads. (The Randolph
is one of 10 ships with Regulus
aboard.) Dtc 9srsa
talked to pilots who had flown
their jet-assisted planes more than
$50 miles and returned to the car
rier without refueling. Headed an
other way, they could carry atom
&c weapons to Czechoslovakia's
giant Skoda munitions plant and
the Roumanian oil fields.
No land area in the world lies
more than 1900 miles from the
sea: the Navy, now, can bomb
where it pleases.
Are the A-bombs actually on
ships, available for the ''instant
retaliation" we talk about? Until
recently, one could only guess
that those black -draped things"
brought aboard under armed Ma
rIne escort were the special (atom-
lc) weapons, and that our carriers
had an atomic reason for anchor
ing far out in foreign harbors

Norfolk press conference, last
summer, Admiral Arleigh Burke
let the cat out of the bag: special
weapons are out in the fleet!
Whether they are ''baby" atom
lc bombs equal to only 100 tons
of TINT, or million-ton hydrogen
weapons, Admiral Burke did not
