MULLBR ELIZABETH CLARK K, Mgr. 25 ALL?FORMS ?OF?INSURANCE ? England'* OCk!al Crov.n Date* Back for Centuries The official name of thf crown of JSngland is the crown of St Edward the Confessor. For eight-and-a-half centuries Britain's kings have had Edward's crown placed on their heads, although there have been new ones during that time. The monks of Westminster said the pious Edward had bequeathed his regalia to their care in order I ttfat future kings should be crowned j with it In the Abbey church. In i those duys, however, there were many other crowns in existence, and kings used to carry a set of regalia around with them. The great coronation crown was uncomfortably heavy, and could not be worn during a long public ceremony. Even when the king was crowned it was supported on his head. The cfown that was broken up and sold by order of Oliver Cromwell's parliament in 1640 was described as "of massy gold weighing seven pounds six ounces" and enj riched with rubies, sapphfres, ! emeralds, diamonds and pearls. It was valued at $5,550. When Charles II was restored to the throne, the bill of Sir Robert j Vyner, the famous goldsmith who supplied the new regalia, came to $160,000. This included two crowns. The state crowns often were reI made for various kings, and a special one was wrought for King [ John. John, however, did not lose j it in the wash, as history recalls, j for it was st.ll in existence in 12C0. Henry V wore his crown while | actually fighting at the battle of Agincourt. It is said it saved his | lire when the duke of Aiencoii u lined a lusty blow at the king's head, chipping a piece off the crown with his sword. Richard III wore his crown at the battle of Bosworth Field where he was killed. A new imperial crown was made for the coronation of George IV, and another for that of Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria's crown was placed above the coffin of George V, for the funeral procession. j Once Twas Said Tobacco "Stayeth Growing Fatte" No advertisement of recent times I Is more extravagant with its praise of tobacco's merits than was a certain Scotch physician, Dr. William Barclay, back in 1611, according to a Cambridge, Mass., United Press correspondent. The good doctor's laudatory words concerning the weed were discovered in a monograph titled "Nepenthes or the Vertues of Tabacco," by Alfred C. Potter, for forty-eight years Harvard ,University's librariarh Wrote Dr. Barclay: "It (tobacco) preserueth from the toothach; it cureth the migraine, the colicke, the cough, the cold; it stayeth growing fatte; it is the antidote of Hypochrondiacke melancholic, it prepareth the stomacke for meat; it maketh q clear voice, ' it maketh a sweet breath, it cleareth the sight ... it comforteth ' nerues . . . And in a few words it is the princesse of physical plants . . ." I 1 Helgoland, Germany Helgoland, Germany, takes its name, Holyland, from having been a center of Christian activity in the seventh century, but it later fell into evil ways as a haven for pirate bands that ravaged the Hanscaticmerchant traffic of the North Sea. To this Hamburg put a stop, joining the island to the neighboring Schleswig, whence it passed to Denmark and finally to England about the beginning of the last century. The trading of Helgoland to Germany for .the island of Zanzibar off the African coast brought on a storm of popular protest in both countries. In England, the transaction was explained as the wish of Queen Victoria to grant a favor to her nephew^Jhe young Emperor William. Windsor. England Windsor, England, is located on the Thames River, about 21 miles west of London. Windsor Castle overs 12 acres of ground in the Home Park, which is . about four miles in circumference A tree-lined nvenue connects this park with the Great Park, which has a circuit o' 18 miles.

Washington.?"New Deal" ofib cials announced thi.t thd icon Guide," a modern Baedeker, will be published about October 1 and sold at bargain rr.tss. Six thousand Works Progress Administration workers aspiring to be authors have been tossing millions of words about for more than a year in preparation for the five volume compilation of "What's What in America." . It is the most ambitious publishing venture ever undertaken. About three million dollars has bean spent in gathering information so far. It will contain brief description* of every point of interest in tha country. At least that is the aim. All items of legendary and historical interest have been tracked down, and in many instances new. material has been unearthed in the attempt to make the guidebook the most complete story of this country ever published. Preliminary to the main work, the federal writers' project, as the program is termed, is assembling individual guides for each of the 48 states. This material already has been prepared by half a dozen states, and the rest are expected to be completed in about a month. More than 10,000 volunteer research workers and writers are contributing to the guide. Chambers of commerce, tourist agencies, local and state governments and civic associations are co-operating. Steamship, railroad, airline, motorbus and motoring lines and agencies are helping in the belief the publication of the guide will inspire citizens to "See America First." New York Pedestrian# Will Walk in Tunnel New York.?New York soon may take another step toward making this city a truck drivers' paradise by putting pedestrians under the streets. The city's march toward the underground metropolis of the future was seen today with the announcement that a pedestrian tunnel is planned under Sixth avenue, between the Thirty-fourth and the Forty-second street stations in conjunction with the subway now under construction. Capt. William J. Pedrick, president of the Fifth Avenue association, praised the board of transportation for planning to build the passageway. ?"This "desirable?amendment?to the original plans," he said, ''assures for the midtown shopping district another facility to stabilize its continued development to the end that it always will be the heart of New York's retail shopping area." When the tunnel is completed it will be. possible to walk from Fortysecond street and Sixth avenue to Thirty-second street and to Eighth avenue and Thirty-fourth street, a distance of three-quarters of a mile, all underground.'

She preferred helping her father paint the barn rather than playing with dolls. Entering Swarthmore, Miss Allen became even more interested in engineering.

L????i ?? v Hog Prices Likely Be Somewhat Lower <.? * i ?? Clemson, Dec. 24.?"If hog supplies ncrease the next few years as now ndicated, it is likely that hog prices will be generally lower, for while here will probably be some Improvenent in demand during the next few years, the demand is not likely to improve as much as the supplies increase," says O. M. Clark, extension farm economist. Supply and demand data by Mr. Dlark support this statement. The consumer demand for hog products is expected to be somewhat less this year than last, the demand for ^ storage purposes will be weaker, and the prospective large production of cottonseed oil will have an advorse effect on the demand for lard. There probably will be little improvement In the expert demand for hog products. Hence, the total demand for hog products during the 1937-1938 season is expected, to be less favorable than in 1936-1937. Therefore, hog prices in 1937-1938 are expected to average somewhat lower than in 19361937. i The number ofr pigs raised in 1938 will be considerably larger than in 1937, but this increase will not be! elected in larger slaughter until late in 1938 and 1939. If the corn crop | is normal or larger in the next year: or two, a further ihcrease in hog pro-' duction will probably occur. But even with favorable crops the number of pigs raised is not likely to reach before 1940 a level equal to the 19291933 average. The estimated pig crop for 1937 for South Carolina and the other Southern states is much above average. Therefore, while there probably will be some further increase in 1938, the Increase will not be as great as the average for the country as a whole. Railroad and Industrial workers of Soviet Russia, are urging Increased output as the major aim of the third Soviet five-year plan to be started with the new year. ^4 Enough has been made public to prove conclusively that New England is solidly behind the Black-Connery wage and hour bill, as the New Bnglanders believe the enactment of this measure will completely do away with the advantage now enjoyed by this section on account of milder cli-. mate, nearness to source of raw material, and also put a stop to the South's bid for the New England textile industry. On the other hand the bill, if it becomes a law, will seriously interfere with, and, very probably disrupt Southern industry. We are unable to see how a Southerner undertaking to take a broad view of this question, and not looking at the | political side only, can afford not to be militant and outspoken in his opposition to the Black-Connery measure.?Chester Reporter.
