Dante, the Italian Poet, Was Native of Florence Duiite, thecelebrated Italian poet, was born In Florence In the hitter part of May. 126."; the date is uncertain. His family was an old one. his father an adherent of the (luelph party In the long feud with the <Ihibellines. At" nine Dante first saw Beatrice Fortlnari, then only eight. The "Vita Nuova" Is practically a history of his love for her. She enters also Into tthe Divine comedy In 1287 she was married. hut not to Dante, who expressed no disappointment at her marriage. She died soon afterward, at the age of twenty-four.

Whether the first human creatures roamed the wilds of Africa 20,000.000 years ago or whether man first appeared In the OJobl desert or some other region remains a puzzle on which geologists never cease to ponder, remarks the New York Sun. The controversy on man's first home doea not overshadow in Interest a report on ancient American culture presented by a representative of the American Museum of Natural History. Digging In their native soil, anthropologists of tliATUnited States turn up some of the moist fascinating puzzles known to students of prehistoric man. When a quarry near Folsom, N. M., was examined the remains of extinct buffalo were found. Mounds In Kentucky have yielded skeletons and the re-, mains of ancient dwellings believed to mark the site of a town which thrived in the South in 106.8 B. C. The Earth'* Thin Cruit That the crust of the earth is only 10 miles thick, nnd that it must bend when loaded with ocean water, glacial ice. or deposits of sand or mud. Is the opinion of a professor of Harvard university. The professor advances the theory that beneath the surface crust, composed mostly of crystallzod rook, are 1.800 miles of glassy rock shells, j which enclose the molten core of iron 1 and nickel. The shifting of weight. ! enused by vast amounts of sediment ' being carried to sea by rivers, is one [ cause of earthquakes, he believes, for | the earth's crust must adjust Itself ' to the change of weight. Ocean depths, dry land and mountnlns are also accounted for by the bending of the carfh'a crust due to weights. i Hybrid Give* Moit Rubber A hybrid rubber vine which yields twioe as mtioh rubber as cither of Its f pnrrr.ts has been produced by the j United States Department of Agrtrul- j ture.

"Davy" Crockett's Fight Is Pictured Another interesting historical point this lime about 4'D?\y" Crockett-is Win* flt-atured in the current < hib UU1 Natural Nitrate advertising j >?& ? published.' in this papv-1 Crockett's hand to hand fight at the Alamo where he nut his death m 1.83d, is picturedThat traffic massacre at the Alamo, in San Antonio, Texas, occurred just Six years after Chilean Nitrate was first used to fertilize Southern crops. The first shipload of Chilean Nitrate came to the United States in 1830-104 years ago. It has been used steadily ever since and has become almost the back-bone of successful farming throughout the entire South. "Davy" Crockett is known for the facts and fables, of his marksmanship, for his colorful life, for his many wilderness exploits. But he was also a humorist and a philosopher. Someone once criticized his spelling and his grammar. That made "Davy" laugh. "Haw," he answered, "while critics j were learning their grammar and their spelling, I and Doctor Jackson, L. L. D., were fighting in the wars. We had more important matters to j attend to than crossin' t's anjJ dottin i's and such like small things." Crockett's spectacular death in the Alamo was exactly the death he desired. Many years before he died he, wrote: "Die like a brave man. And I I know not whether, in the eyes of j the world, a brilliant death is not pre- , ferred to an obscure life of rectitude, j Most men are remembered as they j died, and not as they lived. We gaze j with admiration upon the glories of I the setting sun, yet scarcely bestow a passing glance upon the noonday splendor." Speculation Caused By Voting of Smith Washington, April 2.?Speculation in a home state newspaper as to whether Senator Smith (D. S. C.) would lose his patronage influence, as a result of his vote last week to override the President's veto on the independent offices bilL, today impelled Smith to a spirited defense of senatorial independence. "I repudiate any such insinuation against the president of the United States and his cabinet," he said, after quoting from a newspaper article referring to. alleged last-minute efforts of Mr. Roosevelt and members of his cabinet to hold Democratic senators in line. "They have a right to voice their opinion here," he said, "but they have no right and have asserted none to coerce loyal Democrats." Senator Ashurst (D., Ariz.) assured Smith he "need have no fear" of administration reprisal. J "All our Presidents have been gentlemen," he said, "and one of the most exquisite, most nearly perfect gentleman is the present occupant of the White House." "Franklin D. Roosevelt would despise a senator who voted to sustain his veto just because he was President." The South Carolina delegation was divided on the veto vote, Senator Byrnes voting to sustain it. As- ' hurst's ballot was cast against 3P&* taining the President. : ( Richard J. Reynolds, eldest son of i the late Richard J. Reynolds, tobacco t magnate of W inston-sSalem, N.
