Plea To The Women Of South Carolina This plea Is made in particular to the Individual member of the South Carolina Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution but in general to every woman in South Carolina. For the past several weeks out schools have been opening their doors to the children of our state. Now is the opportune time to begin a concentrated effort to see that the children of South Carolina know, something of their native state. At the request of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution I have, - i* Stafe HTrrarfa a O? I 'he schools of our state as to their *ork in history and civil government. I i hav< found from this survey that I many schools do not take advantage I ?f the golden opportunity and the I ?enerous provision made by our State I Board of Education for a course in I South Carolina Citizenship. This course is carefully planned for I the sixth grade (many of our children I leave school after this year) and is I designed that the pupil may acI mire sufficient information concernI tog forces, ideas, and conditions of I Ms state today to help him In his adaption to life in South Carolina. A I history and a reader dealing with I ^0uth Carolina are the texts for this I course and each text has an accomI Wnying workbook which emphasizes 'he essentials of the course and en dches the texts with interesting slde hghts of our history and valuable picI lorial studies as well. j Let me urge the chapters of the South Carolina Daughters of the I Anierican Revolution in each county t0 unite in your efforts. Make a sur Ye> of the schools In your particular county in order to see Just what your c 'Idren are learning about their R- **te. Do what you can to see that H *ch "chool in your county provides ^8* full course as laid down by the J*te Board of Education. Then fol^ this course with your children and I that these South Carolina texts t * carefully kept when school days 0Ter ?n the bookshelves of your | for future reference. . I 101? 1116 dayB when WM customary _ Wft*lthy South Carolinians to ed ?hhMlIle,r 8008 the distingv ^ Joh? Drayton of Charleston w., ta hi? Isst will the following **** ,or a beloved son's educaI 1 wl*h his education to be conducted In a regular manner as far as circumstances will permit and that his education be finished at the college at Columbia should that be under good^pubordlnatlon and repute, as it is prQper his Education should be completedh his own country that he may be informed of its local politics and governmental interests. Hence I am opposed to his going abroad for any education until his manners and affections be first formed to suit his native country." Our st^te provides through our State Board of Education that the education of our children "may be complete" and that they have ample opportunity to become that type of citizen who is Informed of "local politics and governmental tftUfMta." Sato that; yau urge our teachers to follow this entire plan that our children may have their "manners and affections first formed to suit their native country." I can think of no greater service the South Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution and every patriotic woman in South Carolina can render their state than this. SCIENCE NIBBLES Sound teeth have been found to contain much more molybdenum, that rare metal used in steel alloys, than decayed teeth. License has been granted for the installation of a cable between New York and Philadelphia for an experimental television service. A new steel has been produced which expands at the rate of glass. It costs two dollars a pound and is used in making metal radio tubes. The British Meteorological Office finds that airplanes without radio aerials are in practically no danger from lightning. Research in commercial laboratories proves that even in a uniformly rising temperature metals expand in spurts. The United States Department of Agriculture is attempting to develop a bee with a longer tongue which will enable it to produce more honey. A new device for finding lost hospital radium Is now used. Affected by the powerful radiation it "clucks" rapidly like a hen when the lost tube is neared. It has been discovered by photographic means that some of the hottest electric welding arcs have tempertures 4,000 degrees above that of the eon. This was the first knowledge man had sarpaessd e&ar heat General News Notes Five thousand people huw George Forney, stunt flyer, plunge to his death in a flaming airplane at Gettysburg, Pa., Sunday. Government "(J men" are making u strenuous investigation in northoust Georgia, trying to find the authors of blackmailing letters sent to citizens in that section, demanding from $160 to $50,000 under threats of death. More than 3,000 men, women and children, Including u group of Italians, of Melbourne, Australia, held in unitwar demonstrations, singing native songs and crying "Shame on Mussolini." Juergen Ohlson, famed throughout Germany us a perfect specimen of Nordic Hitler youth, has fallen from grace and may be shoved out of the Vouth movement. He played tennis with u Jewish lad. rhe Alubania senate passed without a dissenting vote, a bill providing for the immediate refilling of the state's jury boxes to meet the United States supreme court's decision reversing the Scottsboro case, because of the exclusion of negroes from JurleB. The senate has passed and sent to the house the hill fathered by Senator James F. Byrnes, making it a felony to transport in interstate commerce persons to be used in obstructing peaceful picketing during labor controversies. The trial of Adolph Moser, 35, and his wife, Eva, 31, of Columbia, S. C? has been set at Rochester, N. Y., for September 9, on charges of using the mails to defraud. Former Senator Coje L. Blease will represent Mrs. Moser at her trial. Anticipating the happening of just anything in the Mediterranean and In Africa, the government of England is concentrating a greut naval force at various advantageous points adjacent to the Suez canal, for use in emergencies. About 500,000 of Italy's fighting men were put through maneuvers over the week end, with 150,000 of thein near the Austrian frontier. It was a sort of grand rehearsal of the military powers of the nation for what may be the opening of the war in Africa. When Virginia Mounds, aged 12, opened a drawer of her dresser, in Missouri, out slid three copperhead snakes. Her screams brought her father, who killed, the reptiles. How they got in the drawer has not been explained. The census bureau on Friday reported that cotton of the 1935 crop gained prior to August 16 totaled 316,930 running bales. A year ago to the same date the ginnings were 354,724 bales. Texas had ginned 197,764 bales up to August 16. Senator James P. Pope, Democrat, of Idaho, in a London interview, declared that the neutrality legislation now before congress, would fall to keep the United States free of European embroilments in the event of another great war. The Guaranty Trust company, New York, in its monthly survey, suggests that the entire economic life of the South will have to undergo drastic alterations unless something is done to re-establish the cotton farmer on a plan approaching that in existence prior to the war. Roy Warren, a painter, weighing 460 pounds, is dead, and Mrs. Bertha Long is in jail at Greensboro, N. C., charged with his death. She claims that he was accidentally shot while they ^were struggling for a pistol in her hands. He declared before his death that he didn't know she had a pistol. Reports from Ethiopia are to the effect that the army of Emperor Selassie is engaged in digging trenches in the section of the nation next to the Italian frontiers, while the Emperor is still hopeful that peaceful terms may be arranged with Italy that will cause the staying of the threatened war. There were introduced In the house during the session of congress a total of 9,245 bills, and in the senate 3,467 bills. Of these but .043 per cent were passed into law.

The police are trying to .check up on his national tory. j^jj WHY Women Wear Engagement Ring on Fourth Finger The custom of wearing engagement and wedding rings on tho fourth tin* ger of tlu> toft hand originated in an ancient belief that a very delicate nerve runs directly from the finger to the heart. According to Aulus (Jelllus, this belief wus mentioned in thy Egyptlnn writings of Applunus, of Alexantlrln. In tin' Second century A. D. During the Middle Ages the connection wits supposed to bo a blood vessel Instead of a nerve. Henry Swinburne, an English ecclesiastical lawyer, who died In 1623, left a quaint observation on this subject In his "Treatise of Spousals or Matrimonial Contracts:" "The tlnger on which this ring (wedding ring) la to ho worn Is the fourth tlnger of the left hand, next unto the little tlnger; because, by the received opinion ef the learned and experienced In ripping up and antoml/.lng men's bodies, there is a vein of blood which passetb from that fourth tlnger unto the heart called vena amorls, love's vein." Why Fish Float Easily Without Apparent Effort Why fish float bo easily without apparent effort Is accomplished by the means of an air bladder without which the body of a fish would have the same specific gravity as that of man and It would sink to the bottom unless It put forth continual swimming effort E. D. Held, a Smithsonian biologist brought back a specimen from the James river that lacks the customary floating apparatus. It spends most of Its time on the bottom of tho river awny from the swift current of the stream In which It lives. It la classified ns a member of the sucker family and Is the fifth of Its kind found, the first known specimen having been caught In 1896. Why 1781-87 W?. Critical Tima The period 1781-87 In our history was the period when the states were united under the articles of confederation. During that time the states habitually violated the articles, and disobeyed the acts of congress and fought among themselves. When congress Imposed an impost duty in 1781 to raise money to pay the public debr, Rhode Island refused to consent, and since the consent of all the states was necessary, the project failed. The country had no credit with European countries. The states deluged ihe country with paper money Issued independently of congress. [luring this period the future of the United States might be said to have been held In the balance. New Farm Tire for Cars, Trucks, Tractors Firestone Develops Ground Grip Tread Thut Gives Farmers Extra Traction " Any farmer who has ever been stalled in deep mud, snow or soft dirt with his car, truck or tractor, and has had to get out to put on chains, or be towed, will appreciate the importance of a new tire known us the "Ground Grip." It does away with the expense and bother of chains. Yet it rides smoothly and is satisfactory for highway travel. Firestone engineers consider this tire one of the major developments of the industry, along with the first ! balloon tire introduced by Firestone in 1923 and the first practical low pressure tractor tire also introduced by Firestone a few years ago. The new tire is made in three types ? for passenger cars, trucks nnd tractors, but Uio now tread development is used in each. The unique tread of this new tire cleans itself and will not clog with mud or clay, whereas in some tires the tread clogs up just when traction is most needed. The tread design also does away with bumping ? always an objection in other so-called traction tires ? because in the new tire the tread projections are so placed that they are always in contact with the road. This is the first time a tire with maximum traction has been built for passenger cars, because traction always had to be sacrificed to oh tain smooth riding. The new tread, with its powerful grip, requires a tire body of extra strength, and this iB provided by the use of the patented process of Gum-Dipping the cords. Underneath the tread are two extra layers of Gum-Dipped cords to give a stronger bond between the cord body and tread. Since Firestone introduced the low pressure tractor tire a few years ago, thousands of tractors have been changed over as farmers realized the economy of time and fuel, the increased comfort and greater utility these tires provide. Tractor manufacturers have redesigned their tractors in many ways to make use of the increased speed now poss'ible with rubber tire equipment. The new "Ground Grip" tire with its greater traction and other advantages, will gain favor even more rapidly in all kinds of tractor operation, and for truck and passenger car service. Farmers, rond builders, rural mail carriers, and others who have tried the new tire say that it gives a new experience in extra traction and smooth operation. American newspaper correspondent 8 in Addla Ababa, have found it hard to find hotel accommodations and have gone native, nome of them living in huts and stables.
