sociologist, Joe Btarnes, member of
congress from Alabama's Fifth district.
Dr, Arthur R&per, professor of
sociology in Agnes Scott college, Decatur,
Ga, and Bishop Paul B, Kern,
general superintendent of Methodism
in the Carolines, were followed by
four-hour discussions in which not a
solution, but rather an understanding
of the problems was sought by the
church men.
To learn what the Roosevelt admin-!
istration is doing to relieve the condition
of farm tenants in the South,
the Couucil, which does not presume
to act for the church* since it is not
an official body, called before the
sessions R. W. Hudgens, regional director
for the Resettlement Administration,
and learned of the rehabilitation
program that Is helping back to
economic Independence 50,000 farm
families, including more than 300,000

Drought Relief
Based on Need
~ " - - ,
Col. James D. Pulp, state commissioner
of the temporary state department
of public welfare, which is in
charge of investigation and certification
of drought relief applicants, again
called attention to the fact yesterday
that relief would be administered
8trlctly_on a basis ojt need.
"It does not seem generally understood,"
Colonel Fulp said, "that a person
must be reduced to drought irelief
status In order to receive help because
of the drought."
He also pointed out it would be
impossible to secure enough^ federal
funds with which to assist everyone
who has suffered crop damage because
of dry weather.
"No effort Is being made W reimburse
anyone for his loss," he said
further,."but an effort Is being made
to locate those persons who are actually
lu need . . . Unable to provide
food or actual necessaries for their
family and stock."
More than 2,?00 families In Anderson
county alone had applied for relief,
he said.
"It la easily understood," Colonel
Fulp decrade, "that unless relief is
given only those who are most in
need there will be many suffering for
actual necassaries during the winter
months."?Sunday's State. 1

We.t Ireland Ha* Wealth
That Ha* Brought Fame
All West Ireland Is rich In literary I
associations. Just off the coast, across
the mouth of Gal way, loty, lie the Aran
Islands, where John M. Synge went t<>
live after he imd decided to write
plays of Irish peasant life. They arc
amotiK the Inst homes of Gaelic In
Ireland, and long before travelers
came to see the fascinating native
life on them, scholars had come there
from all Kurope ?to etudy that language.
according to a writer In the
Los Angeles Times.
Kyuge told of the life of the Aran J
fishermen In his "Itldera to the Sea," I'
and many .times acknowledged his debt
to Irish peasants such as these.
One of the most conspicuous features
of the Islands Js the great slabs
of limestone on them, which In some
places tower up a thousand feet. Be-1
cause the surface of the stone Is so
slippery, the Islnnders all wear a soft]
rawhide moccasin. held together with I
thongs, and In pluce of rowboats they
get about In "curroghs," light canoes
of wlckerwork. fPieB? ure covered
with canvas, and ride over the waves
of the Atlantic like chips on Its back.
Frail as curraghs appear, the Islanders
often transport domestic animals from
one Island to another In them.
North of the islands Is Sllgo, where
William' Butlor Yeats was born. Sllgo
Is built on a wide bay with many In-1
lets, and across from It Is Knockjjarea, I
where "the host Is riding." !
On Benbulbin, the chief mountain of
the section, died Dlarinuld, with whom |
Qranla fled from Tara, jilting ber oth-1
er suitor, the giant Finn MacCool. Later
when MacCool came asking hospl- |
tallty, Orana persuaded Dlarinuld to
give It He and Finn went hunting together,
and on Benbulbin he met his
death through Finn's spells. MacCool
then went off with Oranla, who became
his queen.
Bale Nurse Their Young I
Like Most Other Animals
Bats aren't blind, as the stories go,
but they are so fond of darkness that
they never venture out Into daylight
unless they're forced to by some Intruder,
and then just long enongh to
find another quiet, dark place. Then
at dusk they stretch their wings and ]
begin to take an Interest In life. And
even when It'o pitch dark they know |
how to dodge things when they're fly- I
lng. Their eyes are small, but they
probably have such keen ears and
noses that they're quite well ofT without
bigger eyes. Scientists haven't
determined which of their senses Is
sharpest, says a writer In the Washington
Star.
Although bats fly like insects nnd j
birds, they do not lhy eggs and hatch | <
them as insects and birds do. Instead, I,
they nurse their young like monkeys
or cows or squirrels, and so they helong
to the mammal family.
The body of a bat looks much like J'
that of a mouse, and Its wings are I
very different from those of a bird. A J
bat's wing Is made of skin stretched
! over long toes. And Insect-eating bats
have a long tall that helps to support
the wings.
But the big fruit/ bats, which live in
the tropics arfd whose wing spread Is
often two feet, are without tails, so
the skin of their wings is stretched
from the front to the hind foot. The
long, slender toes of the front foot
spread out like a fan and support most
of this Immense wing. Only the thumb
Is l?ft free, so that It can clutch at
branches.
It Is with theW bind feet that hats
hang, heads down, for their long day- ]
time naps. > I
Belong to \yiilttfiik Family
Ichthyologists tell ua that clscos belong
to the whlteflah family. . They |,
greatly resemble tbe "lake herring'* |
| that makes up a considerable part of j
tbe commercial hanl from the Great
Lakes. Since tbe fish found In Lake |
| Geneva and some of the north- ]
ern Indiana lakes differs somewhat
from the lake herring, the name "Cisco"
la especially fitting. Believed to
be of Indian origin, It la distinctive |
and not likely to be confused with any
other. The clseo, usually caught in
- water over 00 feet In depth, on 1>eadlike'lures,
paaaes the early winter and i
. summer In tbe deepest parts of lakes,,
it artves Into shallower water during I
i the earing, while searching tor food, j

The Bicycle j
Comes Back
The bicycle 1* back. 1-ant year,
factories in the United States turned
out 760,0^0 machines, neurly equating
the peak production of the gay
nineties. In 1933 a survey by department
stores showed bicycles fourth on
the list of things youngsters wanted
for Christmas. In 1935 they stood
first.
Four million Americana now pedal
along the highways, and there are
hundreds of cycling clubs. A "bicycle
breakfast" was staged not long ago
in New York, a horde of riders gathering
in Central Park, to pedal In
parade formation dowu Fifth Avenue
to a restaurant. Special "bicycle
trains" are belug fun by railroads to
curry enthusiasts and their wheels to
scenic spots for one-day outings.
There are bikes with three-speed
gear shifts, automobile-type steering
wheels comfortable rubber-cushioued
chairlike seats. There are tandem
machines, three-seaters, six-seaters,
and one "centlnede bike" cart-vim* 1U
riders. A special racing cycle is made
of aluminum alloy and completely
equipped, weighs only 13 pounds. For
use on trains, there is a collapsible
trailer which can be extended into a
six foot bunk. _ J.
The bicycle is bringing new sports,
bicycle polo having appeared in many
parts of the country, and also a combination
of cycling and archery, popular
among movie stars, a game In
which teams of two contestants each,
riding tandem machine^, circled a flx-4
ed target. Cycle racing, once a major
sport, is also coming back. Last year
there were races in 20 cities.
Cycle paths are being established
in city parks. Recently, 165,000 fans
in Chicago signed a petition, and as a
result 100 mileB of cycle trails are
under way. Detroit has "handlebar
paths" in several parks, as have Washington,
D. C., Oklahoma City, and
New York City. Cyclists are now
permitted at certain hours on Atlantic
City's broadway. Cycling organizations
are urging the construction of
special pathings along the shoulders
of roads.
About 1932, agents for Hollywood
movie stars began to run out of ideas
for publicity. Someone conceived the
idea of photographing the stars riding
bicycles. Then some of them adopted
the bike as a pleasant form of exercise,
others as an easy way to pedal
off a few pounds. But the majority
continued to ride because cycling was
fun. What started as a publicity
stunt turned into a craze which has
Bwept the country?John E. Lodge in
Popular Science Monthly.
A "temporary" dictatorship, approved
by the .King, George II, took over
the government of Greece on Wednesday,
and proclaimed martial law "to
thwart danger of bloodshed" in what
the government described as a Communist-promoted
general strike. ^

AAA Encourages
j Acreage Increase
County Agent McCarley announces
that all restrictions have been raised
on the planting of food and feed crops
under the Agricultural Conservation?
Program for the Southern Region.
Provided that his diverted acreage
has been devoted to soil-conserving
crops and practices, a farmer now can
increase his soil-depleting acreage In
1936, without penalty, If he makes
this soil-depleting acreage Increase in
food and feed crops, Mr. McCarley
explained. >
This modification in the program
was made to encourage the production
of food and feed stuffs and the
growing of an ample supply of seed
to meet 1987 needs on the farm, the
agent said.
There are still some food and feed
crops that South Carolina farmers
can plant on land where they failed
to get stands in cotton, peanuts, or
tobacco.
Late sorghums and millets and
sweet potatoes can still be planted,
the agent advises.
