FIFE DROPS DIVORCE
SUIT AS MATE GETS
RID OF THYROID
CHICAGO, July 17.—With his thy-
>id gland removed, Folmer M. Peter-
;n will make a good husband, his
ride of six months believes.
For that reason she withdrew to-
ay the divorce suit she filed against
im last March and they left Judge
alter J. la Buy’s court together to
ek the domestic felicity long with-
eld by his illness.
The Petersens were married here
anuary 27, and, after their separa-
on March 11, she filed through her
ttomey, Irving Eiseman, a bill ,for
ivorce, charging cruelty.
He beat her three days after their
edding, she said; choked her, burn-
d her hair and neck with a cigarette
e threw at her, threw cigarettes at
er in the bath tub and locked her
a closet.
Five weeks ago Petersen, a bond
alesman, underwent an operation for
moval of his thyroid, which had
larged and become over active,
ermed a toxic goiter.
Two weeks ago, his attorney, Rob-
rt E. Cantwell Jr., pleaded with
udge la Buy for a delay of the trial
f suit, asserting that the operation
ad changed his client so that he
hought Petersen could live happily
•ith his wife.
Today, after a two weeks’ test per-
od ,the wife agreed with him. Peter-
n had lost all the irritability, ner-
vousness, unstable temperament that
hysicians said went with the toxic
oiter and had the possibility of be-
oming a companionable husband, she
id, and she was willing to return
him.
The thyroid is a ductless gland in
the neck which maintains the activ-
ity of all the cells of the body at tee
normal level. When it becomes over
active, cell activity increases propor-
tionately, so that the whole body re
fleets the condition, with loss of
weight, heart trouble, extreme ner-
vous tension, restlessness, tremor and
mcv.tal and emotional instability sub-
ject to fits of ungovernable temper
pt minor irritations.
Removal of all or part of the thy-
roid or destruction with X-ray re-
civ ces the excess stimulation an 1
calms the disordered nerves, physi-
cians explained.
Mrs. P. C. Jackson, who has been
visiting here in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. A. L. Higdon, has gone to Sweet-
water where she will visit with her
daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Shook Davis have
returned to Lampasas after spending
the past week in Corpus Christi.
Arbor Day, as Such, Was
Suggested in Year 1872
As early as 1865 B (J. Nnrthrup, a
Connecticut educator, suggested an an-
nual planting of trees under the direc-
tion of the state governments. But the
first to take steps toward that end,
according to the Cleveland Plain Deal-
er. was J. Stirling Morton of Nebraska,
a member of the state board of agri-
culture, and later, under President
Cleveland. United States secretary of
agriculture.
Morton, in 1872, introduced a reso-
lution at a meeting of the Nebraska
stare hoard of agriculture setting
aside April 10 for tree planting and
suggesting that the day be called
“Arbor day.” In 1885 the Nebraska
legislature passed an act changing the
date to April 22. Morton’s birthday,
and making it a legal holiday.
The Arhor day idea extended
throughout the other states and terri-
torial possessions, and is now an
event in the calendar of every one of
them. There is no uniformity of date,
however. Most northern states observe
it toward the end of April; the south-
ern ami western a! various other sea-
son’s. Ohio’s is by proclamation of the
governor.
The United States government took
the first step In forest conservation
in 1876, and appointed Dr. Franklin
B. Hough as special agent to make a
survey of fhe forest .resources of the
United States. There are 42 states with
organized forestry departments, sup- I
plementing the national work of the
United States Forest service.
Charles Wachendorfer, J. R. Key,
J. H. Allen and Oscar Bolding were
business visitors Monday in Austin.
Miss Flora Smith has returned to
Lampasas after Spending the past
week with Miss Rachel Smith, her
sister, in Kerrville.
George J. Brooke of Mission is vis-
iting with Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Jack-
son.
“Once in a Blue Moon”
The expression “once in a blue
moon” appears to have originally
meant “never," but now It denotes
“very rarely.” Ware’s “Passing Eng-
lish of the Victorian Era” says that
its origin is absolutely lost in mys
tery but it Is probably an angiiclstn
of a word or words with which neither
“blue” nor "moon" has anything to do.
The United States weather bureau also
has been unable to account for the
phrase. Doctor Brewer, compiler of
the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable,
states in his explanation of the phrase:
“On December 10. 18S3, we had a blue
moon. The winter was unusually
mild.” Again In December, 1927, at
the time of an eclipse of the moon,
some observers in Belfast, Ireland,
were reported to have seen a blue
tinge in the moon’s appearance. Moons
of unusual colors, such as green and
blue, have been noted after violent
volcanic explosions or through smoke-
laden fogs.
George Pollock of Weslaco is visit-
ing here in the home of his mother,
Mrs. Will Collis.
i Albert Forrest of Belton spent the
j past week end in Lampasas with
friends.

Pork Barrel Legislation
The first bill for harbor improve-
ments was passed by congress March
8, 1828. Enemies of the bill alleged
that its advocates voted for It purely
for political reasons, to make them-
selves popular among their constitu-
ents by getting something for their dis-
tricts. This so-called rush upon tha
federal treasury was compared to the
rush made by the slaves on the south-
ern plantations when the pork barrel
was opened. *Uiver and harbor Im-
provement bills were ever after faceti-
ously called pork barrel bills. Later
the term was extended to any legisla-
tion supposedly passed for purposes of
political patronage. The total contri-
butions to a campaign fund are some-
times called the pork barrel.
