It's Christmas On Tiny N. C. Island Kodauthe, N. Jan, G.~ Tho hardj iisljorfolk of this spray -swept Isluni outpost put aside their nets today tc observe Christmas. Tim people of Koduntho celebrate the coming of Bantu OJhuh Just about like It is celebrated tho world over? but they wait, until January 5. The children awoke to tied their stockings filled with gifts. Fruit cuke and wild fowl graced the tables. The fishermen stayed at home with their families, and klnstuen from nearby flshiiiK villages and coast gourd stations drifted In for Christinas vis its. This little community*.on the sand bunks that bar the ocean from North Carolina souikIh lias observed Kpiphuny eve as Chris/mas as far buck as anyone can remember. Why the day before Kpiphauy is observed instead of Kpiphauy Itself, the twelfth iiIkIiI or "Old Christmas" colpbruted in some parts of the world, Is not known. Hut, anyway, It's Christinas to the people of itodunthn as much as December 2f> Is to their cousins over on the mainland. WHAT ICELAND 16 LIKE i.5 The western coast of Iceland, scene of the wrecking of the French exploration ship J'ourquols-Ras, is the most Irregular on the Island, according to a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. "Hy exercising imagination, one can compare the Island, as it appears on tho map, to a head of lettuce, growing toward tho north pole," says the bulletin. "The southorn shore la slnglarly regulur, but the western, northern and eastern coasts form the crimped, Irregular leaves of the Imaginary plant. "Guidebooks tell of the numerous, spacious harbors along the northern part of the wostem coast, but they do npt point out that It takes long, Jagged peninsulas, and Inlets, to form such harbors. None but the most expert navigators dure even seek haven there. The other coastB of Icoland are almost free of Islands. "To become shipwrecked off Iceland is more than un ordinary hazard. Although Islanders are expert seafears, the islund has but one modern city? Reykjavik, the capital, situated in the southwost. About onoflfth of the island's 100,000 people live in the capital city. Tho remainder are widely distributed in small fishing towiiH along the coasts and in tiny villages in tho valleys, some of which deeply penetrate tho lavastrewn, and often snow-blanketed Island plateau. Although Iceland touches the arctic circle, the warm waters of the gulf stream temper its atmosphere. Rut vegetation is luxurious on only a small of the Island, and not more thfc one-fifth of Its urea Is Inhabited. One of the most forbidding regions is the northwest peninsula. Joined to the Island by an isthmus only four and one-half miles wide and more than 700 feet above the sea, it suddenly spreads like a fan, but its edges are deeply gashed by bays. The peninsulas that flank these bays also are gashed with deep, rocky fords not unlike many of those of Norway. The mean elevation of the northwest peninsula Is about 2,000 feet above sea level The gloomy cliffs of the peninsula in some places rise 3,000 feet nearly perpendicularly from the sea." Representative Sumners, Democrat of Texas, will introduce n bill in congress providing for the moving up of the date of th. general election a month from November, to give more tlnio to settle contests over electoral votes, should any develop in the future.

The llrst crackers were large, round, unsweetened and un ; I leavened cakes, baked until they were ( i very hard, something like the watei < [ cracked of today. Because they kept, i much better than ordinary bread they 1 were In grent demand for ship sup i plies and were often called "ship 1 bread." At first they were made en 1 tlrely by bend, but at the time of the t great gold rush to California the de- ' mnnd for this convenient food became so great thut machinery was Invented 1 to roll the dough and stamp It Into 1 cakes. During the Civil war, observes a 1 wrltor In the Washington Stnr, In ( America the army and navy called for 1 such quantities of this hnrdtuck. as It 1 was called, that an Improved oven was Invented which Increased the capacity of the bakeries by four or five times ' This Invention, which revolutionized the Industry and Is used today In virtually the same form, Is called the mechanical reel oven. How to Get Rid of Bat* ( Bats are very annoying w hen they ( roost In attics, walls nnd other enclosed places. Sometimes they may be kept out of the house by finding and closing the openings by which they gain entrance. This must be done after they have left at night In search of food. Where this Is Impractical or too dlfllcult it will be found thnt tlnke nnpthalene or ordinary mothballs scat tered about their roosting piacps will usually drive them out. As a last re sort, says Pathfinder Magazine, ihey may be exterminated entirely by Inserting grains of calcium cyanide In the cavities Used by the bats. But this must be used with care because the cyanide gives off a deadly gas. Another disadvantage Is that this method leaves the problem of disposing of the dead hats If In Inaccessible plnces.

Problem Different kinds of wood have been found to contribute more palatable flavors in the meat smoking process than others. Hickory arid oak have long been favorites in Neath America, but certain type# of nut shells and various aromatic seeds have been used by primitive tribes. Some of the plains Indians liked the smoked fluvor which developed from semldry gras.% something of the "bonfire" smell we welcome in the full. The smell of smoke from a suge smudge was quite desirable to some of the West Coast Indians, and green sprigs from the suge plant were thrown on the fire in the tepee. Most of the sage flavor, as we recognize it, however, was destroyed by the burning, states an expert. The companion of salt in meat curing, saltpeter, was perhaps discovered through its being an impurity in the salt that was used. On tiie other hand, there is also a possibility that some of the early meat curers did not distinguish too well between the salty flavor of common si^it and the bitter - salt flavor of the saltpeter. In uny event, the discovery that saltpeter preserved the reddish color of meut led to its combination with salt centuries ago. Early curing and salting did not always provide for uniform penetration of the meat by the cure, so that the unBalted spots, uncolored spots, and sour spots with which meat curers still contend, have been problems of the centuries. Fans of the Early Times Inlaid With Gold, Jewels The utilitarian sticks of antique fans were ornamented as lavishly as were the mounts, being intricately carved, inlaid with gold, and sometimes set with jewels. Ivory was a favorite material, and the most expert craftsmen of the day , were employed in decorating sticks to support silks painted by famous artists of the period, says a writer in the New York Times. The designs were usually of the romantic type, then so prevalent in all forms of art. They represented elegant ladies and gentlemen at their games or flirting beside garden fountains. Landscapes were favored, too, as were architectural settings. Flirtatious ladies of an earlier day evolved a complete language af the fan, and such codes are still traditional in the Latin countries, where dark - eyed senoritas wield their fans in eloquent fashion, expressing volumes by the turn of a wrist. They peer over or around a fluted edge with inherited allure or retire in confusion behind the outspread folds. To the women of Japan the fan is part of their costume. It was from Japan that the folded fan was introduced into the West. Women of all times, however, have appreciated its advantages. Queen Elizabeth listed twenty-seven fans in her "Inventory." Queen for Ten Days Queen Maud was the daughter of Henry I and the rightful queen. She was set aside by Stephen, the king's nephew. Later she claimed the throne and was actually crowned, but relinquished her right on the condition that her son should follow Stephen. Queen Jane was the ill-fated Lady Jane Grey. She was proclaimed, not knowing that the deed appointing her to succeed Edward VI was a forgery. She reigned only for ten days, when the rightful queen?Mary?succeeded to the throne. Jane was afterwards beheaded.?Pearson's Weekly. Sausage, Favorite of Romans Sausage manufacture really dates from Roma* practice. Even during the time of Augustus Caesar a large number of . arieties were prepared. There were large sausages that wefe served sliced, and there were small sausages that were served whole. There were both fresh and cured sausages, although the fresh sausages were practically restricted to homa manufacture and consumption". Romans were particularly fond of a sausage composed of pork and white pine nuts, chopped fine, seasoned with pepper, bay leaves, herbs and cumin seed. Outer Mongolia The so-called People's Republic of Outer Mongolia came into existence in 1921, when Russian red army troops entered this vast, sparsely populated territory in pursuit of the forces of the wlute leader. General Ungern von Sternberg. Its international status has been highly anomalous. Theoretically it is still part of China, but no Chinese official may set fool there. The country in the last few years has been barred against al foreigners except Russians. Faith That Is In Us Every act of ours is a venlur< on faith.

(All signed up). <\ ..We have locked up the house, left no food or fowl behind to be cared for, dismissed the cook; turned off the hired boy,, paid the preacher up to July, 1936, checked all of our little bit of money out of the bank, and departed to see how the folks elsewhere are getting along. We hope to have a fine visit and come back home busted, as usual. GEE McGEE'S NEW YEAR'8 RE80LUTI0N8 1?Resolevd, That I won't resolve to hold my temper under any and all conditions and circumstances. ThiB was resolution No. 1 last year. I broke it the next day when I bumped my head on the door of the medicine chest In the bath-room; also cussed slightly but intentionally. 2?Resolved, That I won't resolve to do unto others as I would have them to do unto me. That thing was likewise agreed to last year. The third day after so promising, I insulted a man in the jaw for twisting his head and body and sweetheart, both pro and con, while he was sitting in front of me at a movie. I don't want to get hurt again . . . (But I do like to see the pictures). 3?Resolved, That I will not undertake to "lay off" soft drinks again. I stood the temptation till January 9th last year, but I wanted to be sociable bo's folks wouldn't accuse ibe of being too stingy to enjoy life, and broke over. I don't drink them often, but the temptation was made stronger by reason of that resolution to "touch not." 4?Resolved, That I will not give all of the road and all of the parking space to a stranger within or without .our gate. The birds began to impose upon me around February 1, 1935, and I simply couldn't endure it and smile, according to resolution; ' so, therefore, I proceeded to stand up ' for my rights and privileges. Of course, 1 got 4 fenders bent up and j ' 2 bumpers torn off, and got cussed , out occasionally. ( Resolved, That I think it is best j . not to again endeavor to withhold t my grumbles when the newspaper I t can t be found; when the soap is left] ' in the lavatory; when the biscuits I are cooked first and are cold when' brought to the table; when the laundry puts starch in my shirts; when the neighbor stands in the door and holds ; it open while the thermometer is 32 t or -below. It simply ain't no use. * i 6?Resolved, That I hereby resolve 1 to discontinue making New Year's 1 resolutions from this day hence, but* I wan't to promise m? folks and my 'm friends and my customers that: W t they will let me, and will help me, and will pray for me, and speak wellof me (when possible, with the troth . -f . .

' I ????? EIGHTEEN ACRE8 FOR EACH HUNTER South Carolina can allot to each hunter better than elghten acres of wooded lands on which to seek game. Each purchaser of a bunting license finds 18.16 acres of land that should produce wildlife. Of course, the land may be posted to you and to me. and we may have difficulty locating our eighteen acres but the land is here. Eighty thousand licensed hunters are pursuing all manner of game over thirtoen or fourteen million acres of wooded and timbered lands. They are paying nearly |150,000 for licenses to practice this pastime. What they spend for guns, ammunition, dogs, olothing, gas and oTl, food and rents, would run into a million dollar enterprise. Let's take a look and see what is the nature of the land they hunt on, with reference to the prospects of finding game. First, this noble old Btate of ours claims within its boundry, almost twenty million acres of lands. How much of this area is habitable for wildlife? .Nearly thirteen million of these acres are listed as wooded, with still another million aires declared to be "idle or fallow" lands. Nearly half of this woodland is embraced by farms. Naturally these wooded a^eas near cultivated farms should furniBh food as well as shelter for game. Seven million acres of timbered lands belong to that other area not included in acreage of farms. Deep in these wooded recesses are all j ? nanncr of wildlife indigenous to South Carolina. Tb,e low country has the edge on he rest, of the state in favorable lotation of game and fish territory. Slxeen coastal counties are listed as beng from 50 to 85 per cent forest ands, five and a half million acres >f timbered lands with another quarer-milllon in brush laftds and aband)ned fields suitable for small game. Of the huhting license revenue twohirds is derived fro& county hunting icenses; only two thousand dollars' some from non-resident licenses;'and he remainder is made up from sale >f state-wide licenses. The hunters of Richland, Charleston md Greenville, lead in the order nam;d, all others in the purchAflfi of these J itato-wido licenses. Columbians can easily reach any section of the state n a very few hours and be in the lelds. Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens ind Anderson lead in the sale of couny licenses. From the sale of the non-resident icenses it will be seen that the out>f-staters frequent Beaufort, WUliams>urg, Jasper, Colleton, Charleston and Georgetown counties, in the order lamed. _ - { All of which brings us to the most if our story: South Carolina pos- j jesses the potentialities .for a vast game population. The state once possessed a cornucopia overflowing. What we have today we are responsiile for; what we will have tomorrow s up to us. ?^ Hm . :mm ^EH II I NOTICE TO BICYCLE RIDERS | i There is an ordinace on the books of the City of I rt J /uiC.L- ' v /.? j I*- -*.v" ^ / f # - --f.r I1.;'' Camden requiring Bicycles to carry lights after dark. i This is to notify all bicycle riders that this ordi-^M nance will be strictly enforced and all offenders will I I I Ckitf af Police || I
