Yesterday Aunt Rose put on her white dress, held the birthday cake provided for the occasion by one of her most devoted "white children," and posed for her photograph. When the photographer told her to amlle and show one tooth, she scolded him. "Lawd, chile, 1 got two teefa," she declared, "and dey's good help to me to eat cawn, too." And she proceeded to show them. She lives with a daughter down on Morrow street, facing the creek across from tho barns of the Thompson orphanage.

Danzig, which Hitler declares must he returned to Germany, along with a corridor, ttftoon miles In width aofoas Poland and which Poluud says she will not surrender?uut so much as a' foot?may give Hitler Just what he wants as an excuse to begin the war which he appears to be so anxious lo start, ltut Poland, with a million well equipped soldiers, already to start lighting, may cause him to hesitate a bit. The Free "City" of Danzig is really another small state, covering more than seven hundred square miles and Including moro than 100,000 farms, says a bulletin from the Washington, 1). C., hoadquarters of the National Geographic Society. It has a population of more than 400,000. The city's checkered career down 1 through the centuries, Is recorded In Us architecture. Its Slavic origin la now evidenced only by the names appeal Ing on Its shop windows, but the buildings reflect the old Gothic, HonalsHunce, baroque. Many are of a decidedly Dutcfcp pattern, for Danzig felt Dutch Influence when It was one of the great porta of the Hanseatlc League. St. Mary's church, dating back several centuries and of a defensive typo of architecture, sounds the keynote for much of the city's buildings, whose buttressed walls crowd the narrow streets, many tall and narrow to offer smaller targets to enemy cannon. The congested condition Is relieved by the Vistula river and the canals, which divide the city and provide occasion for bordering parks and shade trees. Danzig Is the Baltic port to a vast rich area to the south?the richest area of Eastern Europe?whose varied products pass through to world markets. These products Include coal and Iron ore, petroleum and Its products, and the harvest of vast wheat fields. Danzig's prosperity has been the result of its unusual shipping facilities on the Baltic, although the real port Is now at Neufahrwasser, all excellent harbor at the mouth of the Vistula river, four miles below the city. This river connects with canals, and affords direct water shipment to Warsaw. It contributed greatly to the Importance of Danzig, and made Warsaw commercially. But rail traffic long ago exceeded the river commerce many times over. Four main railroads connect with important German centers, and three I main railroads reach Into the interior of Poland. There are also direct plane connections, with Berlin, Kocnigsberg and Warsaw, and steamship routes to I nearby ports. After having been variously held by Pomeranla, Poland, Brandenburg and Denmark. Danzig rose to importance buck in the Middle Ages. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, it was a free city under the protection of Poland. It was taken by the Russians and Saxons In 1734. Later restored to Poland it came into the possession of Prussia late in the eighteenth century. Napoleon declared It a free town In 1S07. under the protection of Prussia, Saxony and France; but seven years later It reverted to Poland,-and then hack to Prussia in 1819. It remained the capital of West Prussia until the close of the World war, when It became the Free City of Danzig under the League of Nations. By treaty in 192b, Poland was given free use of the port and control of the railways, and the administration of foreign afTalrs. with a high commissioner of the League stationed in Danzig to decide^disputes between Poland and Danzig, from whom tin* parties could appeal to the League. Danzig is !to\s a unit In the Polish customs administration. Danzig's importance has -offered a relapse in recent years, hecaus of the i rea:ion of the Polish port of Gdynia, one of the best equipped per - on the Baltic const, thirteen miles distant from Danzig. Gdynia today is a thriving city of more than population. with all the bustle of a great metropolis, combined with seaside- resort coloring. Gdynia has a much deeper harbor than ^hal of Neufahrwasser and its shipping now exceeds the tonnage at Danzig. Many steamship companies have accordingly removed 'heir offices to Gdynia. Sheltered from Baltic storms by the sand ; spit of Del. Gdynia, although an artificial port, is well protected and capable of almost unlimited expansion.

Telephone 4 West Rutledge Street Early Poisoning For Weevil, Says Nettles Clemson, May 13.?With more interest in boll weevil control evident among farmers than at any other time in the past decade, W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, calls immediate attention to direct methods of weevil control, especially. poisoning. Quoting from extension bulletin No. 96, Important Field Crop Insects, Mr. Nettles says: "Direct methods of weevil control are as follows: Poison control, de-1 struction of stalks in autumn, and winter clean-up. All three of these j methods should be practiced in order j to secure the maximum effectiveness1 from either one of them. "Poison control, with both dust and liquid poison, was practiced to a greater extent in South Carolina than in adjoining states up to about seven years ago. About that time scientists of tiie South Carolina Experiment Station discovered that when calcium arsenate wus used in excessive quantities subsequent plant growth was influenced. These findings were borne out by many farmers who state that they injured soil by applying excessive quantities of calcium arsenate. As a result many farmers soon discontinued dust application. "Interest in liquid poison has inI creased during the past several years but especially In the Piedmont section of the state. "Early poisoning with the 1-1-1 mixture has been used by many farmers because no great amount of money must be spent and because of the simplicity of application." Mrs. James U. Ayer, of New York, has been named as a smuggler by the U. S. Customs agents. Mrs. Ayer is the widow of Dr. James Ayer, wealthy surgecn.
