Referee in Hankruptey, Columbia, S. C Swan Lake Iris Now In Bloom Sumter,. S. ('. May 23.?Two successive disappoint inents of an amateur angler and gardener?-one in each field have given Sumter. South Carolina its greatest annual tlirill. Twelve vetirs ago, H. ('. Illand, of Sumter, motor-car dealer, bought an abandoned grist-mill pond for a personal fishing preserve. Fishing was poor, native alligators, lily stems and cypress knees interfered. So ho turned to gardening, a companion hobby. A large importation of the giant oriental Iris Kaempferl was planted in firm soil. No go?they proved sickly and spindly. Doubly disgusted with liis cypress swamp mill pond. Bland dug up tils expensive bulbs and gave t hem a lusty heave. There began Sumter's great community event. Landing in the oozy black mud at the swamp's edge, the strangers found haven maybe heaven Is the word, luirly the next summer, Mr Bland found a great, waving mass of shoulder-high. luxuriant bloom. Swan Lake Iris Burdens had begun. The tenth annual Iris season at Sumter begins May 24 and ends June 1 it. Free to all visitors, fifty-eight acres of beautifully landscaped and gardened lake, swamp, marsh, meadow and hill offer millions of manycolored giant iris-?200 varieties, thousands of variegated water-lilies, untold species and varieties of magnolia. palm, camellia, jasmine, azalea, wisteria, honey-suckles and hundreds of other native or imported flowers, shrubs, vines and trees, harmoniously blended. It is all one man's work, all fiftyeight acres of it. All the outgrowth of a personal hobby, a love of natural beauty and a desire to share it freely with all ills neighbors. Despite tire and gasoline shortages, thousands of garden fanciers from both Candidas are beginning to arrive in Sumter. The annual Swan Lake ins Festival is getting under w av. A 'I innn of 4" miles an hour was iiiad>- apple ihie throughout Canada on Ma> l the department <d commerce reports. Camden Horses Do Well In Races Ii may ho interesting to tho people of South Carolina, and especially to those of Camden, to hear of the recent success of the horses that were trained In this state, and especially in Camden. I For the past two weeks three important steeplechases at Belmont Bark and l'lmllco were won by horses owned by Ambrose Clark, Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark and Paul Mellon. Horses owned by the Chrlstlanna Stables and fr'ATuM by J. A. Healey J have won two races in tho past week at Belmont, and the Barrington j Stables, trained by E. Havward, have now a total of eight wins since leav-j Ing here. In addition to this, several seconds and thirds have gone to the' credit of locally trained horses. Aiken has had its share of success lin winning two or three of the lmI portant steeplechases, and one of the J big stakes on the flat was won by "Attention", trained at Columbia, j It is an open fact in the North that more people each year are won (over to the Idea of preparing their [horses in the south, especially those starting in the early season. Racing is enjoying the greatest boom that it has had in years, which | is rather a peculiar condition when [one takes into consideration that all the world is upset. Of course tho tracks outside of the Immediate vicinity of New York and large cities j may he affected very much by the lire and gasoline regulations, but the latest report Is that no meetings have j been given up.

C\, May 16. 1942. 134th Infantry Solved This One?But Quick One of the outstanding characteristics displayed by today's service men is ingenuity. No situation, no matter how difficult, seems to stump them. When the 134th Infantry gave a party at Camp Robinson. Ark., somebody neglected the all-Important item of girls, an oversight which went unnoticed until the party was well under way. But Private Boh Skinner, a more *than usually personable infantryman from Lincoln. Neb , proved equal to the oct'HHItilt. ? Commandeering a truck, he (lashed over to a quartermaster outtit's dance, unerringly picked the prettiest blonde on the floor and cut in. Without loss of time the enterprising infantryman suggested a stroll in the moonlight. The girl agreed and he escorted her to the truck. Excusing himself, he returned, cut in on the second prettiest blonde and brought her out also. ' When the truck was full Private Skinner roared back to the 134th s party with his giggling booty. The quartermasters haven't gotten over it yet. New Design Takes Jolt Out of Railroad Cars Railroad history was made recently with the initial test run of a new "free-floating" type of coach developed in Los Angeles. Embodying radical departures in design from the standard car, it is hung from the railroad tracks instead of being balanced on top of them. The car is remarkably free of swaying and jiggling, even at a speed of 102 m.p.h., attained during a trial run. "Smooth as silk," observed veteran railroaders aboard the car. "The nearest thing to an airplane yet built to ride on rails." The coach has the first fundamental car engineering innovations in more than 100 years of railroad history, according to Courtlandt T. Hill, president of the pacific Railway Equipment company, builders. The po'int of suspension in the car is above, rather than below, the center of gravity. Consequently, in negotiating curves at high speed, it does not lurch outward. Saving Aluminum During one month recently, a large eastern electric company reclaimed enough aluminum scrap? 120,000 pounds?to build 10 large twin-engined army bombers. This is more than the whole state of New York recovered in the government drive for old pots and pans. In the same month, the company also salvaged some 1,180,000 pounds of non-ferrous metals. At the company's reclaiming plant near Pittsburgh, an official explained how the mixed scrap runs the gauntlet of great magnetic separators which pick out all ferroustype magnetic metals. What remains goes into a melting pot and pure aluminum and pure copper are first separated. All the rest of the metals are divided into a large family of alloys or mixtures of metals. Battleship Names Battleships are named for the states, cruisers for the cities, destroyers are named for deceased naval and marine corps officers and enlisted men, former secretaries of the navy and congressmen who have been closely identified with naval affairs; mine sweepers are named for birds, submarines for fish and oil tankers for rivers in oil producing states; repair ships are .named for mythical characters or places; gunboats for islands and cities; navy tugs for Indian tribes; transport ships for famous battles; supply ships are given synonyms for cold, and hospital ships are given synonyms for kindness; aircraft carriers are named for famous fighting ships and important battles of our early American history. To 'Frighten' Evil Spirits It is said that the Egyptians sought protection for their ships and their crews by placing the lotus, the insignia of Isis, the phoenix, or some other sacred symbol at the prow. The Phoeniceans, Greeks and Romans had the same custom of seeking to place themselves and their boats under the protection of one or another of the deities. The Norsemen used terrifying objects to frighten evil spirits of various kinds. ' Great Britain favored lions, dragons and fighting warriors. Patriotic France used winged figures with upraised trumpets. American clipper ships carried a few figureheads and these wore mostly emblematic of their names. Meat for Blood Pressure In high blood pressure, it is important to eat sufficient meat so that the blood will not lack proteins. The best medical opinion holds that diet, so long as it is not abnormal. has nothing to do with high blood pressure. Electrocardiograph tests made under conditions of exertion by the patient or when pain is being felt by him will reveal a heart defect undiscoverable under other conditions. Frequently such minor changes as moving from upper to lower floor ! or nearer to a car line which connects with his place of work will prolong a heart patient's life for nany years.
