FISHING BAIT
Last week we enumerated natural
bait floinmo.nly M?od for fresh water
Ashing; today we continue the discussion.
Keeping and rearing earthworms
for halt?"Ksrthworms multiply by
producing eggs which are laid in capsuses
in the ground. The young become
fully grown in' four or live
month*. One method of rutluro is to
sink into the 90II in some shady spot
a box of suitable* size, usually not
less than eighteen inches deep and
of any desirable width. The top of
the box should bo made hinged, or
removable and placed from two to
three inches below the surface of the
surrounding soil. This box should he
nearly tilled with rich, dark loam
which should he kept quite moiMt, but
not wet. as to much water will quickly
kill earthworms. The worms may
then be collectod and placed in this |
box, and may or may not be covered '
with a layer of green sod.
"By far the euslest and most convenient
way to collect earthworms la
to use a flashlight or lantern ut (light.
They may be found then on the surface
of ground wi^ich has been devoted
for some years for sod purposes.
The worms are usually much
more numerous during the months of
April, May and June, than any
other time> although they may be easily
brought to the surface at any season
of the year, except winter, by
thoroughly sprinkling the soil in the
early evening. If food is provided for
the worms in the box, they may be
kept almost Indefinitely In such container
without changiug the soil. They
have been raised successfully by feeding
ordinary mollaRses spread on one
side of a gummy sack, which is then
laid on the surfaco of the ground
with the sticky Ride downward, and
the hack of the bag sprinkled with
water. Powdered bread crumbs and
crumbled bard boiled eggs have also
been used as food."
Freshwater craw flali and shrimp
can be kept alive In tanks, small
pools, or wooden boxes which ere
well supplied with running water. The
best food for them is fresh meat fed
in small pieces, but great care should
be taken not to leave old and spoiled
meat in the water for any length of
time, as this will soon prove fatal.
The boxes or other containers should
not he over-crowded and should be
cleaned often and the dead crawfish
or shrimp thrown out, as they decay
rapidly and will soon cause the death
of the healthy ones.
Ilellgramltes?Those are the larval
form of the Dobson fly (Corydalis
cornutu). They are found under
stones in swift streams and are an
excellent bait for bass. Hellgfdmlte
scan be kept alive for a considerable
time in floating boxes or in
wet grass. ^
Glow-worms?The term glow-worm
1h applied to the wingless female beetles
of the family I/ampridae. They
are nocturnal In habit and feed upon
smaller insects and worms. They can
be kept alive in loose, damp earth,
covered with moist grass and kept
In a cool place.
Preserving minnows for halt?Tako
one part of formalin to 29 parts of
water, place the minnows In this solution
in a tightly closed jar or bottle
and keep in the dark until they are
to be used. In this way they will re-,
tain their colors and silvery hues better
than if in the light. When about
to use the bait, soak It In fresh water
to remove the formalin. A few drops
of oil of rhodium may then be placed
on the minnow to disguise the pungent
odor of formalin that may remain
in the flsh after soaking. The
oil of rhodium is said to be attractive
to liah. but. be that as it may, it does
not repel them as the formalin is
likely to do.?United States Bureau
of Fisheries circular.
GOVERNOR MADE MISTAKE
SAYS COLLETON SENATOR
\Viilt?rboro, July 17.?Senator H. M.
.Icfferlea said today Governor Olln I).
Johnston made "a wave mistake*' In
asserting that the state highway department
had built a 12-mile road to
the hunting preserve of Col. H. G.
Klbert in Colleton county.
The Cojleton senator said the road
was constructed ns a federal relief
project, and that the county paid the
highway department "the full rental
contract price" for road machinery
leased for the construction.
His statement followed an assertion
of the governor at ft political rally
at Kuffin that the highway department
had huilt the road as a favor
to Klbert, wealthy New York and a
law client of the senator.
Jefferies said. "1 regret Very much
that local self-seeking politicians in
Colleton county caused his excellency,
the governor, to make the grave mistake
of charging the stale highway
department with having constructed
a road to the hunting preserve of Col.
Klbert, when as a matter of fact, the
state highway department has not
constructed such a road nor has It
had anything to do with the building
of a county road which does pass
through the property of Col. Klbert
on the way to the very fertile sea
islands along' the coast of Colleton
county."
The section opened up. by the road
is so important that the countv is
now building a "rather expensive"
PWA bridge across the Ashopoo river,
at the end of the road, to replace an
antiquated ferry. Jefferies continued.
He termed Elbert "one of the heaviest
taxpayers" in the county and said
ho and other northern residents often
had paid their taxes in advance when
told by the senator that county fuudp
were low. These same men bought
state notes at par several years ago,
tie added, so Colleton teachers could
be paid in cash.
He Learned Differently
Over In St. Ixmis a tipsy driver j
crashed Into a telegraph pole. Wires.!

about his ears. They found him tinconscious
in the wreckage, but as they
were untangling him he reached out

softly "Thank heaven, I'm all
right thiol ? they've given me a harp."

BIBLE STORIES HELD FIGURES OF
SPEECH
T
Wellington, July 11.?The tale of
the whale swallowing Jonah, and
many other Biblical stories have been
wrongly translated, according to Dr.
George M. Lam.su, ethnologist and native
of Syria who learned in childhood."the
ancient Hebrew spoken by
< 'hrlst.
In his book, "Gospel Light." Dr.
Lanisa declares previous translators
of the Bible did not know enough
aboijj ancient Hebrew, or Aramaic, to
recognize the meaning of idioms and
figures-of-speech used the time of
Christ.
"Apparently they knew no more
about it than I knew of your American
sport language," he says. "I
once mourned to myself over the passing
of one of baseball's heroes when
1 read that 'Babe Ruth died on third.' "
Such a misinterpretation Is responsible
for the Biblical story of Jonah
and the whale, Dr. Lamsa points out
"Today when you say that a man has
hard luck you say that he is 'down
and out' or is 'in the doghouse.' The
ancient Hebrew said that a man In'
similar circumstances was 'In the
whale' and to emphasize how bad oft
lie was. the phrase used was "in the
belly of the whale.' " ,
The story of the wedding at Cana '
lias also been twisted to make It appear
that Christ changed water Into
wine, he says.
"The eastern understanding of the
wording of the text of this miracle
puts it in an entirely new light. One
must understand the ceremony of an
eastern wedding to understand the
miracle. It lasts from 3 to 7 days and
the guests have to be drunk on the
first day. Now a religious man attending
an eastern wedding, for instance
a Rabbi, such as Christ was,
is supposed to discourage the guests
from drinking too much wine and to
insist that they drink water, to scold
and counsel them.
"Jesus gave them water and no
doubt harangued the guosts and
counseled them, while the statement
of the best man that "This Is the best
wine' referred to plain water."
I)r. John P. Harrington, Smithsonian
Institution scientist and language
authority, lends the weight of his reputation
to Dr. Lamsa's interpretations,
doclaring he "has given to the American
people and the western world A
key to the sculptures which is based
on science and truth."
Dr. I^unsa, writes Dr. Harrington
in the foreword to "Gospel Light," la
one of the few flersons In the world
who speaks the anctent Hebrew
tongue and dialect which Christ used
and is therefore well qualified to interpret
what Christ rehlly meant He
has studied the Bible for thirty years,
and is in as dead earnest as the men
who wrote it" ^ ^ v \-? > * ,

School Teacher
Loses In Court
* -V- '
I I I L, %
A Darlington county school teacher,
who, after getting married, waa refuted
the right to teach in the Branchvllle
tchoois, and who waa awarded
4 verdict of $676 for alleged breach
of contract, loat her case yesterday
morning, when the supreme court
wung Into action. It reverted the
findings of the lower court and held
that a verdict should have been directed
for the school board.
The case was that of Burnell Lenafr
Collins Dulcet, respondent,
against Gary Smoak, Edgar Hutto and
Marlon Byrd, members of the board
of trustees of district No. 18.
The record set forth that in April,
1935, a faculty was elected for the
Branchville schools, and a motion was
made and passed providing that marriage
of a woman teacher would disqualify
her to teach In the Branchville
school. ^
The plaintiff, who before marriage
was Burnelle I^enalre Collins, was
elected to teach the sixth grade. The
superintendent, N. L. Lynch, was instructed
to notify the teachers of
their election and of the condition
relative to the marriage of women
teachers.
In July, 1936, the record sets forth
the teacher was married and she later
was notified her marriage constituted
breach of contract, and disqualified
her to teach in the school
and she alleged she was denied the
right to teach in that school. Another
teacher was elected in her place.
Alleging breach of contract, the
teacher brought suit for damages,
holding that she was not> officially
notified of the condition of employment,
though she said she had learned
of it unofficially. There was introduced
the minutes of the school
board meeting to show she had been
elected to the school faculty at a
certain salary. The school board entered
a general denial of the allegaI
tions and contended her marriage under
the board's regulations had disqualified
her to teach.
The court,-in its opinion, written
by E. L. Fishburne, said that the
teacher must abide by the minutes of
the school board meting, as introduced
in the hearing of the case. The
plaintiff could not "carve out" the
part of the minutes which set forth
tin- reelection and salary and reject
the balance, part of which contained
the condition relative to marriage, the
court said.
Applying the rules of evidence the
court, said "a verdict should have
been directed for the defendant
(school board). She (the teacher) is
bound by this condition as a part of
the contract which she entered into
and which she breached by later entering
Into the marriage relation, subsequent
to such contract and pi ior
to the commencement of the school
term. There was no Issue of fact to
submit to the jury."
Findings of the lower court were
reversed and the case was remanded
for entry of judgment In favor of the
school board.
Society Demands
Relief For Ducks
New York, July 19.?Drought relief
for wild ducks, In the form of a year's
reprieve from hunting, was demanded
here today by the National Association
of Audubon Societies, with a
warning that unless there Is a cessation
In killing the water-fowl may go
the way of western cattle herds, but
with no similar hope of replacement.
"The vigorous drought-relief measures
being undertaken by the Administration
on behalf of man and domestic
stock will undobutedly relieve
their distress." the statement said,
"but what of the wild life of the area
?a natural resource worth many millions
of dollars? The worst drought
conditions have blanketed the very
prairie states In which the United
States raises most of its wild ducks,
and the suffering among them has
been extreme.
"For years conservationists have
been concerned over the diminution
of our water-fowl. Grazing, drainage,
overshooting, and recent dry years
have reduced their numbers until
some species are In grave danger of
extermination. The losses occasioned
by this new catastrophe can not be
repaired until better breeding seasons
combined with requisite limitations of
kill havo made it possible for the
birds to increase their numbers.
"We can't replace the ducks that
are gone," the statement concluded.
"Only ducks can do this. We can,
however, reduce the depletion?by
closing the shooting season for a year,
thmpacelieving an enormous drain on
our water-fowl resources." **
Macon. Ga., was bit by a big atorm,
with high wind and torrents of rain
and hall, accompanied by severe
lightning. Several houses collapsed
and large trees were uprooted. It
rained nearly five Inches In four
: hours, and one part of town waa

Linotype Invented
Over 50 Years Ago
N.w York. July IsT-The 8c,?0 to
Park row newspaper row to old tlau
newspaper men?50 yearn aKu and
over. 0
It is July 3, 1886.
In the compoelng room of the New
York Tribune a man alta down before
a strange monster of machine and
begins to work an alphabetical key
board. Brest matrices with type char
actere swing in a jangle of metalie
sound; a depressed lever sends them
dipping ipto a pot of molten leada
Una of type appears as though by
magic and the typo characters go
back to their places. Again the pro.
cedure is repeated and again the i|Q,
of type appears.
A revolution In newspaper publishing
has taken place, guided by the
hands of John T. Miller, the first op.
erator of the first linotype machine
July 3, 1886, part of the type for the
New York Tribune was set by linotype
and it marked the end of typo
setting by hand sq far as newspapers
were concerned. The innovation was
hailed as the second greatest event
In the history of printing, the first
being invention of movable type. :
The linotype enabled one man to
cobpose as many lines as five or six
compositors setting type by hand. It
speeded up, lessoned the cost and increased
the amount of printing of all
kinds?newspapers, "magazines, and
books. In 1888 the number of persons
employed' in the graphic arts
in the United States was 136,836, and
in 1930 the number had grown to o27 390.
For 400 years all type had been set
by hand. The dream of men who
isioned a machine to speed up printing
yet lessen costs seemed fated to j
failure. The quest was pushed, however,
and the emergence on the scene
of an immigrant German Inventor,
named Ottmar Mergenthaler back by
a group of men who believed and never
let their belief waver turned the j
title. ,
- In 1883 he invented a rotary indenting
machine, a year later it was *
improved. In 1885 came the first
band machine with a metal pot to cast
slugs but great aa this advance was
greater still was the blower machine
which followed in 1886. Thia proved
to be the first practical linotype machine.
; ' )'
The young man who operated that I
machine in the composing room of
the Tribune is still in the newspaper
game. For thirty years Miller continued
to operate a linotype, saw the
march of the improved models, clicked
out miles of type. Today he is
in the employe of the New York Hen
aid-Tribune as a proof reader, still
close to the** grinding, clicking machines
he knew so well.
