Ancient ‘Garbage Heap’
Tapped by Well Drillers
TAMPA.—When drillers sounded
for water near Tampa they brought

rocks that shot 100 feet into the air.
The phenomenon prompted drill-
ers to call a newspaper. The news-
paper in turn called a University
of Tampa geologist, who supplied
the following explanation:
The drill tapped a prehistoric
“garbage heap,” where rotting
vegetation had been accumulating
under a limestone shelf for 10,000
years.

cessful dairying depends largely upon proper feeding methods,
such as have been developed through years of experience and
research. In a series of feeding tests with dairy cows at Pur-
due University, soybean oil meal was found to give excellent re-
sults in milk production.
It was found that this meal is easier to digest than most other
protein ingredients, and since it is produced in the corn belt it is
an economical ingredient to use, being included in practically
all of the commercial dairy rations distributed in the Middle
West as well as in the east and far west.
Because it furnishes the variety that dairy cows need to re-
main in heavy milk production, and because of its rich nut-like
flavor it adds palatability to the ration, causing cows to eat
more feed. The results of feeding tests made at Purdue have
been confirmed by those of other governmental and private ex-
periment stations, not only with respect to dairy cows, but in the
feeding of hogs and other livestock, including poultry.
The growth of the demand for soybean oil meal during the
last dozen years has been amazing, and it is said that no other
product has been given so much attention by agricultural sci-
entists and feeding specialists during this period. It deserves
the consideration of all dairymen and others who recognize the
importance of a well-balanced ration in livestock feeding.

While in Philadelphia for a meet-

cial Agencies, Dr. Kurath defended
such expressions as “I ain’t gonna

"The form of speech acceptable

he contended, is the basis on which

LONDON.—The young Cockney

able to that on a New York East
Side merchant suddenly hearing his
Offspring say “you all.”
Literally, it will be a wise father
who understands his own son if the
duration of the war approaches that

the great mass migrations from
danger areas will effect permanent-
ly the English of England.
The Cockneys of London are mix-
ing with the villagers of Cornwall
and Devon. The “public school”
ascent has become a familiar sound
in quaint English villages of the
shires where only the local accent
was known before.
If in the United States, authori-
ties suddenly found it necessary to
evacuate the eastern mountain folk,
the southern "crackers” and the
down-easters and upstate New
Yorkers to the plain cities, some-
thing similar might happen, but it
would be even less strange than
in England.

WASHINGTON. - The national
capital is expecting this year to es-
tablish a new tourist record, large-
ly because of war's curtailment of
foreign travel, and the President’s
proclamation of 1940 as “Travel
America Year.”
“Washington is many things to
many people, but government is
still the principal industry and tour- )
ist attraction,” says the National
Geographic society. “The White
House last year was visited by
1,500,000 men, women and children,
“No record is kept of the thou-
sands who visit the Capitol to see
the senate chamber and the hall of
the house of representatives; but
the Library of Congress, bordering
on the Capitol grounds, had more
than 1,020,000 visitors in 1939 and
more than half a million strolled
through the marble corridors of the
new Supreme court building.
“Exhibits of broadest appeal are
the various museums of the Smith-
looked hopeless and forlorn
But that could not be in your case
you have no cause for alarm
The same great sun li ghtning and
the moon is on her way
You must take your part with pride
and have lot to say.
Do not be a silent tree in the forest
of crude mankind
Try to be the finished plank and leave
the bark behind
You are ready to be placed by the
Master Craftsman true
I would change my mind a lot if I
were only you
Do npt be a coward and shrink from
all your plans
Be a worker in the gang and labor
with your hands
Build of the finer timbers and select
your mouldings too
You can win the race we know if you
will build with a brighter view.
We know you have been feeling blue
because you’ve had no job
But this has been an exceptional year
and you have tread the bog
You are still alive and well but down
in spirit a lot
I hope you’ll read and observe with
hope that you can hit the spot
Hope and trust and speak today and
resolve from now henceforth
You'll look on the other aide of life
and gain a new foothold
Do your best while 'tis yet light, to-
morrow will be more fair
I hope you take this my advice, let’s
hope it gets you there.
W. M. PARR.
Man oft forgets. He was born of
woman and for a few days. Life is
like that and just as keen. He has
his task to do, possibly in a chosen
field, or one where the sweat of his
brow or his brawn takes him, but he
must do his task well, then he can
rest under the canopy of heaven in
full content, but he who shrinks from
doing his bit is a slacker in the sight
of God and man, and is unworthy. In
order to move in the society of men
you must find your place and keep
right on keeping on until you reach
the top. Then you have found your
place in the aun and do not have a
desire to end it all.

“Each day last year more than a
thousand persons were shown the
work of the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation with its crime labora-
tory, fingerprinting files and
trophies of the more notorious crim-

“The Washington monument, 555
feet high, last year welcomed more
than 900,000 visitors who sought a
bird’s-eye view of the city. An ele-
vator in the towering obelisk as-
cends to the top in minutes.
“Others than stamp collectors
flock to the bureau of engraving and
printing to see the only place in the
United States where postage stamps
are made; for here, in addition, all
the paper money is also engraved.
These unique operation* last year
attracted 361,268 travelers to the
bureau.
“Many non-governmental build-
ing* vie for the attention of visi-
tor* to Washington. Notable among
these is the Washington cathedral,
on Mt. St. Alban overlooking the
city, where one of the ten largest
cathedrals of the world is under
construction.
“Other buildings interest tourist*
and architects because of their his-
tory and structural beauty. The
chapel of Trinity college, near the
campus of the Catholic University
of America, has been pronounced a
gem of ecclesiastical architecture;
and the Octagon house, home of the
institute of architects, is a direct
link with the earliest social life of
the capital.
Other Attractions.
“The Custis mansion, later the
estate of Gen. Robert E. Lee at
Arlington, overlooks the capital
from a hill on the Virginia side of
the Potomac. The estate now is the
Arlington National cemetery, where
are interred the remains of many
of the nation’s heroic dead, includ-
ing the Unknown Soldier of the
World war. The restored Lee man-
sion contains a fine exhibit of
colonial furnishings.
“Washington's proximity to battle-
fields, to Annapolis, to Alexandria
and Mount Vernon extends the in-
terest of a visit to the capital. By
motor over the Memorial highway
which parallels the Potomac on the
Virginia side, or by steamer down
the broad river, Mount Vernon was
last year host to 650,000.
“In its widely varied phase*,
Washington appeals to many par-
ticular interests and individual hob-
bies. The story is told of an Eng-
lish tourist who had but a few hours
in the capital; he elected to spend
that time in seeing the world-famous
statue by Saint-Gaudens erected in
Rock Creek cemetery to commemo-
rate the wife of Henry Adams.
“The Corcoran, Freer and the
National Art galleries, and many
famous murals and mosaics in pub- ,
lie buildings, attract thousands each
year. These, with the National Gal-
lery of Art now under construction, j
will make Washington the nation’s ।

Have you found you're out of balance
and know not the reason why
Have you hoped you’d find the answer
and lust refused to try
Have you made a sad mistake and
know that you will win
Have you summed up the record take
and know the fix you’re in
Or has the fairy passed you by with
casual nod or two
Do you feel this is your day and you
have a lot to do
Or are you out of sorts at life and care
not where you go
if so you need a guiding hand to
make your plan a glow.
Tune in to the powers that be and
resolve in this fair day
That you have roamed about a lot
j and still want to have your way
You know,that you cannot have your

You must decide right here and aot be
worrying about the savor
Things may not be as you like it,
they as a rule never are
You can help yourself a lot if you’ll
cast your line out far
For greater things than these you do
are laid out for you today
You just look about the while the
task will come your way.
No need to be despondent now or at
any other time
If you will look around for those who
are really feeling fine
There may have been a squally time
in days that have passed you by
But you have a' definite task to do,
soon you will know the reason
why
it may be you are out of place and
hare not had the time
To look beyond the garden gate that I
others are feeling fine
You’ve not lost your grip I know there
is something tells me that
You will find your place in time I
know that is a fact.
Try with all your might my t.tepd
before it is too late
Pind your place midst stalwart men
and cease the world to hate
The time is now I will avow that you
will see the light
And know that you now have a chance
in keeping your life upright
There was a time when all the world
Mohammedianism is still a power to be reckoned with in
Asia and Africa, but as a religion it is losing its influence, even
among its nominal adherents, according to travelers in Moslem
lands.
Mustapha Kemal, the late ruler of Turkey, dealt Moham-
medanism a terrible blow when he abolished the Caliphate the
highest church dignity, which was formerly held by the reign-
ing sultan. Kemal also repudiated the Koran as the legal code
of Turkey. These acts, and the spread of literature antagonistic
to the faith, have played havoc with Mohammedan prestige ;
nearly everywhere.
Founded by Mohammed, an illiterate epileptic sheep-herder
and camel-driver of Mecca, the era of Islam dates from 622 A D
when with about 150 followers he fled from Mecca to escape
persecution and settled in Medina; where his real power arose
His epileptic tendencies had brought on “visions" whereb
he professed to have received revelations from God at various
rimes, these communications being later incorporated in the
clothing furnished by the government. In the matter of pay,
the Army has been at a disadvantage in obtaining recruits, as
Navy pay begins at $30, with better opportunities for advance-
ment than are afforded enlisted soldiers. It is‘believed that a
new law may place the military services on a more nearly equal
footing with respect to pay.
There is no doubt, however, that some compulsory service
plan will be adopted, as it must be if the national defense pro-
gram is to be carried out as proposed.
