For example, why are men's hats surrounded by a useless ribbon? Because 4.(XX) years ago women hound a loose fabric about their heads by means of a tl 1 lot. Why does a man's morning coat hear .two useless buttons above the tails? Because coats used to he almost like skirts, which needed buttoning up to keep them out of the mud. Why does a tailor place a man's coat burtons on the right side? Because this fashion enabled him raor? readily to get at his dagger. Why are stockings adorned with "clocks"? Because they were originally put In to hide the gusset seams, when only cloth stockings were worn, and were later retained because they were considered ornnmental. Why Dry Ice Is So Cold That It Will Not Melt If the air pressure on any substance Is reduced, the boiling point of that substance also Is greatly reduced, while the freezing point remains almost unchanged. If the air Is pumped out of a flask containing some water, eventually the boiling point of the water falls to the same temperature as the freezing point. At pressures below tills, says a writer In the Chicago Tribune, the theoretical boiling point Is less than the melting point, with the result that on heating the Ice passes directly into vapor without melting. Dry ice Is solfd carbon dioxide. It happens that it shows this same property at atmospheric pressure. If dry Ice is placed In a container and subjected to pressures much higher than atmospheric, It van be made to melt. Why Term "Gran Widow" Wa? Used Authorities have not agreed as to the origin of the term "grass widow." According to Doctor Brewer, the use of the term seems to have originated among Anglo-Indians about the middle of the Nineteenth century, from the practice of European husbands reshl lug In India sending their wives and children to the hills during the hot season. In this section the grass Is plentiful. A more plausible sugges- I tlon Is that It arose In America dtir- ! Ing the gold rush In California ; a man not Infrequently put his wife and children out to hoard while he went to the diggings. This he called "putting his wlfo to grass" as a horse Is put to grass when not In use for work. Why Cincinnati D "Queen City" During the early eighteen hundreds the hills surrounding Cincinnati, Ohio, wore covered with vineyards, which offered ready cmplm tnent to the tier man population there, who hailed mostly from the Rhine valley, t'p until the latter part of the Nineteenth eentury. Cincinnati was the most Important wine center of fhe country. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow christened Cin clnati as the Queen City of the West In his poem. "Catawba Wine": "And this song of the vine, this greeting of mine, the winds and birds shall deliver, to the Queen of the West, In her garlnnds dressed, on the banks of the beautiful river." Ethiopian Empire Called Italy's Gold (By K. w Poison Newmoo, Special to The Christian Science Monitor.) Next to defense preparations the most urKent question engaging the Ethiopian (Government today J# what concessions can he made to Italy. This question is now to he assumed of most extreme urgency In view of the opening of the three power parley at Paris between Britain, France and Italy. What can Ethiopia offer the world and Italy In particular? It doesn't need a long stay here to realize the Ethiopians' great agricultural wealth and to appreciate the Immense benefit of such fertile territory to uu agricultural nation needing raw materials and an outlet for Its surplus population. With altitudes varying from over 8,000 feet to practically sea level there are few cereals, vegetables or fruits which cannot be grown in this counttry whose sol lis of the richest In the world. lint a European nation undertaking the development of Ethiopia with modern methods of ugrlculture would Had the most important sources of wealth lie in cereals and livestock. Almost every grain does well, with two to three crops a year, and cattle and other stock can be raised under must favorable conditions. By this means, Italy could be supplied with sufficient grain and meat to render further Italian imports of these commodities from foreign countries unnecessary. It is estimated that the agricultural areas of Ethiopia, cultivable under normal conditions, would make Italy self-supporting in 10 years and would also produce a surplus for export purposes. Despite statements to the contrary. Ethiopia is not a country of great mineral wealth either real or potential. Those who have made expeditions in search of gold have reached the conclusion that what little exists doesn't justify the cost of exploitation, and practically all mining concessions have failed. Another advantage Ethiopia has to offer is its highland climate. This climate Is suitable for the settlement of a European population under healthiest conditions and the Italians estimate at least 1,000,000 colonists could be settled on the land in 10 years. Not only could they support themselves in all the necessities of life, it is believed, but they could export to Italy and thereby relieve the economic position of the mother country. This would bring about a situation in which Ethiopia would bear much the same economic relationship to Italy as Algeria does to France, and would also provide a new market for Italian industries. Most significant at the present critical stage of the Italo-Kthiopiun dispute is the fact that some of the most valuable grain producing districts are to be found In the neighborhood of Aksutn, Adowa and Adigrat?all comparatively close to the Indian colony I of Eritrea. Farmers Make Money On Hogs Florence, Aug. 2G.?Florence county farmers have made cooperative shipments of bogs every month this year, says J. W. Mcl.einlon, county farm agent, commenting on the value to farmers of hogs as one phase of allround farming. Since it is no longer necessary to have a full car to make an economical shipment, less than earload shipments to a (lrecn\ille I pai king house have been most satis1 fatva ata.t A record from Mr. McLendon's tiles shows that certain farmers who shipped hogs iu 1!?33 shipped 3S3 hogs this year that bjought $,*>,328.22. In 1U33. he adds, it would have taken out one thousand hogs to have brought the same amount. A special reputation for well cured hams is bringing Florence farmers permium prices, Mr. Mcl.endon points out. "Country cured hams have been hard to sell in tile past on account i of so many methods of curing." lie says. . "The housewife could not tell ! what kind of ham she >vas getting i until she cooked it. Some hams were I so salty they could scarcely he eaten. ! "Two years ago several market [demonstrations in cutting and curing! were given, and a campaign was I launched for a one-method cure, using the formula in Extension Bulletin 77. i Fork for Carolina Farmers. A 4 H i I Mam Club was organized last year, i all members curing by the same method No ham could be sold under the i 4-11 brand unless It was cured by the i standard formula. j "Every ham sold satisfies the cus! tomcr. and there arc not enough hams to supply the trade. "The last time a sale was made, we allowed only two to a customer and sold 250 pounds in 25 minutes. We now have orders for 575 pounds that we cannot fill."
