I NEW SAFE REMEDY FOR CATTLE LOU8E PESTS "Cattle owners of Kershaw county will be glad to learn that the nonpoisonous dust advised by \V. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, has continued to give satisfactory results, raving been used on approximately 10.000 head of cattle during the past winter," says County Agent W. C. McCarley. Two very different kinds of lice are common 011 cattle, the county agent explains. Some suck the blood, and others which cannot pierce the skin live on dry skin scales, hairs, and scabs. They are especially injurious to calves and to poorly fed, unhoused, old animals during the winter. Even on the best managed beef and dairy herds these lice frequently become a problem. When cattle rub against stanchions and fences and show areas of the skin which are full of scurf and partly denuded of hair, they are almost certain to be Infested with lice or scat) mites. "The louse powder recommended Is applied along the back from head to tail and dusted Into the coat by hand", the agent states. "Experience Indicates that one pound of i>owder mixed according to the extension formula will treat 10 head of cattle twice. The powder contains the fob lowing materials, all non-poisonous to rattle: derrls, pyrethruin, and pow[ red naphthalene plus talc, kaolin, or sulfur as an inert carrier."

Portugal, Former World l'ower, Begins Recapture of Prestige >:^v7" .?v'" J Miflitfur New Life Stirs Historic Homeland of Ancient Trade Builders. Pr?par?d by National Cteacraphic Society, Washington, D. C.?wSu Barvlca. Four centuries ago Portugal changed the map of the world by her epochal achievements in discovery. The vast wealth that poured into her treasury did much to shape the course of European affairs. No unsupported bombast was the title assumed by the monarchs: "King, by the grace of God, of Portugal and of the Algarves, both on this side of the sea and beyond in Africa, Lord of Guinea and of Conquest, Navigation, and Commerce of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, and India." Then, too, there were the Arores, Madeira, and gigantic Brazil, whose riches proved even greater and more permanent than the commerce Portugal pionoered in the For East. But lean years came. Energetic Netherlands traders captured many of the Orient's markets; Indian monopolies vanished; Brazil waxed strong and became independent. Wars', internal confusion, and improvident rulers contributed further to her decline. During the last century Portugal has seen much of economic depression. New National Life. In the past 10 years, however, new life has stirred in this historic nation. Though less spectacular than sailing the seas in search of the mysteries of Africa or the wealth of the Indies, Portugal's program of rehabilitation has been scarcely less impressive. Today new foundations have been laid in the Estado Novo, or New State. Portugal has been able to maintain a balanced budget. Ports, roads, municipal corporations, civic welfare, schools, and public enterprise have felt the quickened pulse beat of the new order. Leader of this government is Premier Antonio de Oliveira Salazar. A few years ago roads were hardly more than marks left by the ancient, wayward wanderings of itinerant oxcarts, and were alternately deep with mud or choked with pallid dust. Now they have surfaces of gravel or stone. Side-stepping mules and lumbering oxen are still tl* chief hazards I to fenders in rural districts, but the ; motorist who blithely swerves round i a corner without giving warning may hit something harder. For there are buses, and an increasing I number of trucks. Many New Highways. Passenger vehicles now operate on more than 5,000 miles of major highways?this in a country only 350 miles long and 125 miles wide. In recent years they have carried enough people to approximate two rides yearly for each of the 7,260,000 inhabitants. Walking, however, is by no means a lost art. Seeing women, graceful as Greek goddesses, with heavy water jars or baskets or produce perched on their heads emphasizes that fact. Most market-going peasants still ride Hop-eared donkeys rather than "flivvers." Although progressive innovations increase, traditional customs and Old World scenes prevail. A visit to Portugal savors of a pleasant interview with the gracious occupants of a historic family manor. As your ship steams into the Tagus nvger (Tejo) at dawn, you have the feeling of moving along a hallway filled with treasured heirlooms. On your port, a slender ray of sunshine, piercing a cloud, seeks out the quaint waterside tower of Belem?half Moorish, half ornate Manueline in design?which stands as a symbol of Portugal's early ventures beyond the seas. Golden Age Beauty. A short distance beyond rears the dome and White stalagmitlc spires of the old Monastery of Jeronymos. an artistic crystallization of the country's Golden age opulence. There, in a tiny mariner's chapel that formerly occupied the site, Vasco da Gama and his crew said prayers the night before they noisted sail to beat around the Cape of Good Hope and blaze the sea trail to India. There, beneath lofty arches in one of the\ transepts, his body now rests. Another of Portugal's heroes also shares that quiet: Luis de Camoens (Camoes) whose epic poem, The Lusia^js, sang of the h doughty Vasco. High on the opposite hills loomed the remains of old forts and crumbling castles, appearing like faded .*! "_.r .. I III I ? 1.1 II I ??J PORTUGUESE POSSESSIONS. Here is the world-wide extent of PortugaTs empire. Four hundred years ago this tiny nation changed the map of the world by its achievements in discovery and exploration. Modern Portugal is now attempting the comeback trail in the field of world prestige. paintings through the morning haze. At the end of a seven-mile-long corridor the Tagus broadens into a wide marine anteroom. Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, floors, and visionary Crusaders, as well as hardy Portuguese navigators, have anchored their ships along its shores. Here have come rich argosies, bearing spices, silks, and porcelains from the East, and gold from Brazil. Armada's Port of Call. From these waters, in 1588, when Portugal was a vassal of Spain, sailed the Invincible Armada to suffer defeat by British force and raging storms. Some of the boats that ride there today, like the craft that came to the Tagus of old, have upturned Phoenician prows or the sloping lateen sail of Arab dhows. As you swing into the lakelike estuary, a freshening breeze conspires with the mounting sun to sweep awpy the obscuring fog from Lisbon, as if a curtain has been suddenly dr6wn aside. Lisbon, or Lisboa, as it is locally called, is the nearest continental capital to Washington, D. C. It is approximately the same size and lies at almost exactly the same parallel as our national capital. In LEADER. Antonio de Oliveira Salazar is PortugaPs present premier. He is leading the. nation in its struggle to regain the prestige once possessed by Portuguese seamen. stead of a "city of magnificent distances," however, Lisbon is a city of magnificent hills. This five-mile multihued panorama of clifF terraces rearing above the Tagus invites comparison with Naples and Istanbul. As background it lacks a Vesuvius or the spearpoints of minarets; yet it still achieves the spectacular with its bright biddings, sprawling palaces, subtropical gardens, and old fort. Historic Sights Abound. Between the somber battlements of St. George, once a Morrish stronghold, and the modern wharves more than eight centuries of visible history are spread in impressive array. Many other centuries, dating back to Phoenician and Roman occupation, have been covered by its growth. Once ashore, we gain new perspective of the city's hills. Instead of the single curved range that appears from the harbor th#?r#? ?re several separate eminences. Lisbon spreads over more hills than did ancient Rome. And they are steeper. Venture away from the Praca do Commercio, the Rocio (Rossio), and the long Avenida da Liberdade. which cleaves the city in half, and one must climb. Motorcars take circuitous routes, and even then often have to growl up in low gear. Tramways and cogwheeled cars run everywhere, but they climb uncaring slopes and twist around unbelievable corners. On the narrow, precipitous streets men are stationed at each curve with paddles painted red on one side and green on the other to flash stop and go signals, for passing Ls impossible. raper Comments On Arson Case "Gonoral Mecklenburg", a feature of the Charlotte Observer, made tJje! followii>K comment relative to the burning of two stables In Monroe lust April la tluv Sunday edition.

"In a letter from Attorney General Harry McMullan published In this department two weeks ago, he said he was Informed that the State Commissioner of Insurance, acting In cooperation with the National Board of Fire Underwriters, had made a very complete investigation of these fires, as authorized by law, and that tho State Bureau of Investigation had received "110 request from local officials for aid in this matter, in the absence of which, under the statute, no Investigation could be undertaken" by that State agency. "So it appears the matter has been left largely to the State Insurance department, which Is Interested essentially only In the protection of fire insurance companies and owners of insured property, and that department has utterly failed to get results, whether through its own weakness or from some other cause.
