Forty-three young people from the
First Baptist Church attended the
BYFU zone meeting held in Lubbock
Sunday afternoon. They were
awarded both the attendance and
mileage banners for having the
largest out of town attendance and
having collectively traveled the
greatest number of miles.

Only One Type of Tree
Produces Real Camphor
Camphor is an odd substance.
The several kinds of camphor
known to science are hydrocarbons,
compounds of hydrogen and carbon,
and are relatives of our common
turpentine. However, the camphors
are a little different in the manner
in which the atoms composing their
molecular structures are put togeth-
er, reveals an authority in the Bos-
ton Globe. Thus, while turpentine
is useless for the purpose, cam-
phor can be united with cotton, ni-
tric acid and sulphuric acid to make
celluloid, and, by another operation,
modern high explosives—the kind
used to supply the energy to hurl
shells out of the great cannon.
Oddly enough, four kinds of plants
produce camphor. One kind, the
n\ints, such as monarda and men-
tha, is very common in America.
But, sadly enough, the camphor
they produce is not the right kind
to make explosives. The second
kind of plants are also common;
certain composites, such as chrys-
anthemum parthenicum and blu-
mea. But, again, the composites’
camphor is the wrong kind, too. The
third is a rare tropical family, the
dipterocarps. Their camphor is
excellent—but it is so rare that the
price it commands is so very high
that it is used for but one purpose
—embalming wealthy persons in
the Orient.
The fourth kind of camphor is the
camphor of commerce; the- cam-
phor produced by one tree, cinna-
momum camphora. This tree has
relatives in New England—the spice
bush and the sassafrass—but their
camphor, again, is not commer-
cially available or chemically use-
ful.
Thus, in all the world, only one
tree, Cinnamomum camphora, pro-
duces “real” camphor. And this
tree is native only to one place in
the world, the Japanese island of
Formosa. It has been transplanted
to southern China and to the Ma-
lay states, but it thrives best in
its own home, Formosa.
And it is there that nearly all
the world's camphor is harvested.

Name Reginald Teutonic
in Origin, Means Wise
The name Reginald, of Teutonic
origin,-means “of wise power.” For
centuries it "has been a favorite
name. St. Reginald of Picardy is
patron against fever, states a writer
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Sir Reginald Bray (d. 1503)
knighted for his bravery in battle,
was one of the leading architects of
his time, designing the interior dec-
oration of St. George’s chapel,
Windsor.
Rt. Rev. Reginald Iieber (1783-
1826), English poet and bishop of
Calcutta, wrote many of our favo-
rite hymns, “From Greenland’s Icy
Mountains” being one.
Reginald DeKoven (1861-1920), so
called although the first two of his
given names were Henry Lewis,
composed many songs and light
operas, among the latter being
“Robin Hood.”
Lord Reginald Esher (d. 1930),
friend of the rulers of England and
governor of Windsor castle, had ac-
cess to the papers of Queen Vic-
toria. Among his books is “The
Correspondence of Queen Victoria.”
In 1921 he sent his diary and a
sealed package of papers concern-
ing the war to the British museum
with instructions not to open until
1981. It is expected that these pa-
pers will give future historians val-
uable information.

Colors of Planets
The smaller planets. Mercury,
Venus and Mars, are believed to
have a solid surface composed of
rocks very similar to those of the
earth. Mercury is stated by some
observers to have no perceptible
supply of water, but the two other
planets have water and ice on parts
of their surface. The larger planets,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Nep-
tune, are not solid but appear as
balls of cloud, which may haye solid
or liquid nuclei. The ruddy color of
Mars to the observer is due to the
red surface of much of that planet,
but there are also dark markings
which show a seasonal variation in
color. The planet Pluto also has an
apparent redness, suggesting a thin
atmosphere and a surface of low
reflecting power. Venus has a Sil-
very brilliance, while Mercury is
more inclined to redness; Saturn is
yellowish, Uranus pale green and
Jupiter shows a variety of colors,
with reddish ones conspicuous.

Gog and Magog
Gog is a hostile power that, ac-
cording to Ezekiel 23 and Book of
Revelations 20, is to manifest it-
self in the world immediately after
the end of things. Magog, who is
joined with Gog in the passage from
Revelations, is the name of Gog’s
origin in th passage from Ezekiel.
There are /o giant effigies of Gog
and Magog in Guildhall, London,
the legends attached to which are
of unknown date. The effigies date
from 1708 and replace those de-
stroyed by the “great fire.” Accord-
ing to some tales, Gog and Magog
were the survivors of a race of gi-
ants descended from the 33 wicked
daughters of Diocletian. After their
jbjethren had been slain by Brute
and his companions, Gog and Ma-
gog were brought to London and
compelled, as the story goes, to offi-
ciate as porters at the gate of the
royal palace. Effigies similar to the
present ones existed in London as
early as the time of Henry V.
