Swan Lake Iris

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

dug up tils expensive bulbs and gave

the swamp's edge, the strangers found

found a great, waving mass of shoulder-high.

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

[horses in the south, especially those

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.

THE NO-CUFFS-ON-PANTS LAW
IS BEING VIOLATED
mr. loon henderson,
Washington, d. c.
deer sir:
mr. slim chance is violating yore
no-cuffs-on-bitches law. he bought hisself
a new suit of clothes, and told the
stoar man to make the britches legs
34 inches long, that was 2 inches too
long, but lie accepted them and went
homo and rolled them up and they
act as cuffs on same, his nabors have
tried to got him to have the britches
cut off shorter so's he can't roll them
up for cuffs, but they have benn of
no avail.
this looks like downright sabbotarge
and he ought to be acted upon for a
example. he is allso making the
boast that he will get all the sugar
he wants, stamps or no stamps, ho
won't tell annyboddy how he plans to
do this, but everyboddy is trying to
find out from him, and some of them
are wanting to know about it for sinister
reasons.
slim simply won't do. he will have
to be watched, he has been accused
of being a icylationists. he stuck
right with them till pearl harbor, and
then he crawled in a hole like the
rest of the fellers; he is only loyal
skin deep, he totes a watch made in
jappan, blows a mouth-organ made in '
germanny, and wears a little hitler j
mushtash, but he claims he started
hitler at it, and hitler did not have
one like it first.
flat rock wants to do her share in
this war. hut if folks like slim chance
keep on irritating them, trubble is
sure to break out. he is a german
propper-gander if there ever was one.
he likes to circulate had reports, many
of which he thinks up hisself. is
it against the law to shoot a man that
is not an American if ho was horned
