WHY
Curious Customs Prevail in
Clothes of Today
Many curious customs which long
ago were discarded are still reflected
In a number of details In the clothes
of today, su.vs a writer In the Cleveland
IMaln Dealer.
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."

FLAT ROCK MOVE8 FORWARD
.. a big crowd gathered in front of
the drug stour last monday to see
an awning put up in front of name
by tin* awning dealer of the county
scat who aimers to the name of Jim
long, thin i? the first awning that
hatt ever benn installed in front of a
publick bilding in flat rock.
..everybody stayed until the iaat
screw wuh drove in and the ropes
ban benn hitched. it was a great
alght to behold to watch thin work
go on. while she wuh blzzy watching
the awning work go along, mm.
Iiezzy klah smith s baby, wimpy, turned
over the churn and wasted all of
the milk at her house.
..inrs. bud lee slinklns let her dinner
bum up, and Judd Clark left his
motor running while gazing at the
Job, and it burnt up 3 gallons of gas.
It Is groon striped with yellar stripes
betwixt them, both of same running
up and down, and it will cost the
customers of the drug stoar about
33$, us it will be charged up with all
subscription? that dr. green mought
till.
..the awning will have the followering
advertisement printed on it, vizzly:
"greens for sand witches, Body
waiter and bathing suits." his name
is on the winder which tells tht|? he
allso sells drugs and inedicisons in
Ills drug stoar. erecting thiB awning
caused as much excitement to our
t Itlzonshlp as cleaning out the public
well last summer, and noboddy seemed
to be absent till inr. long, the bllder
thereof, went back home.
. .dr green has rendered a nice service
to the drug stoar loafers, they
will have a place outside now to set
and chaw and whittle and gossip, it
will give him more room for his customers
inside tin' stoar. he will place
2 benches under the awning as soon
as possible, but the poleesman has alreddy
notified the boys thai they must
not block the sidewalk while playing
checkers ansofortb.
..no other improvements have benn
made in our midst this summer except

patched in june and collie allison
combed his hair last week, the whispering
campane against the pressent

MIKE ASKS FOR A FEW CORRECTIONS
lion henry wallis,

Washington, d. C.
deer sir: ?
i have decided that yor govverment
cotton esiermate of 2 weeks hence
"was entirely too high, and i am riting
to ask that you correct same on yore
next report on the followering basis,
to wit?vizzlv:
akerage abandoned is too low. scudd
and dudd Clark and art square have
all give up their crops in this community
enduring the past few days
and have fell on the direct relief for
a livving. others all over the belt
have possibly gone and did likewise,
that will take off .">67,999 bailes.
it looks like you counted round
bailes as square bailes and allso included
some bay and alfalfa, it takes
nearly 3 round bailes to make 2
square bailes, and it is possible that
cVOCe si tHMiitranhar mrorttuvborf
when she was getting holt to a total,
kindly correct this by lopping off
455.777 more bailes.
since august the 1. it looks like the
boll weevils have et up .">.*>5,987 bailes,
and the army wirm and the red spider
and the sharp-shooting bug has ruint
423.887 bailes, and if givverment aid
keeps up. and cotton goes below rlO
per lb., at least 1,544.333 bailes will
be left in the field unpicked and untetched
by the hand of labor ansofort
h.
we farmers do not worry about the
protesting tax. as it comes to us,
and we don't wear tnanny clothes nohow.
but it is about c3 per lb. too
high for the cotton mills, it would
be better for us newer to export another
baile of cotton to jappan or othor
furrin countries if we farmers have
to grow same at cO per lb., as we
woh4<1 all starve and lose our farms,
and noboddy would be hope anny except
the exporters
plese make yore next estimate read
as followers: "1935 cotton crop will
be 9.876.425 balies, counting round
bailes only once and square bailes
verry carefully, the carryover is 6,432,234.
as linters was counted a few
days ago " yore corry spondent's only
intrust in this cotton bizness is to

do that unless ho goto over cl.0 (or
