Your Home Town Paper (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) oae of printers’ ink can do more to ward l*w enforcement then a dosen peace officers. Newspapers, like all human agen cies make mistakes, but such errors *re generally traceable to miainfor- ■nation given the newsman. I remember one such instance which happened to me in my early reportor- ial days. During the absence of the editor a communication came telling of the mariage of a young couple in a nearby community. The letter was apparently in the handwriting of one of our correspondenta, and in good faith I published the story. A few <lays later a sandy-haired citzen, ac companied by his older son, his wife and daughter, stormed into the of-, fice. “I’ve come here to see the rapscal lion who pul a notice in the paper about my daughter’s marriage,’’ he shouted. In his hand was a long old- fashioned “blacksnaJce” whip, held at a dangerous angle. Before I replied I stepped to the door leading to the shop «nd asked the two men at work there to come up front. Then I toW my visitor that I had edited the item and, summoning all my nonchlance, casually inquired whether anything about it was wrong. As he cooled down a little—helped perhaps by the sight of a stove poker in the hands of our Irish foreman- pUrnter—he explained that the re port was false, and that his daughter was not married. I had saved the letter which told of the marriage, and showed it to him. It then developed that it had been written in apite by a young lady who had been going with the same fellow as the man's daugh- terl Another apparently gross error, charged to me, happened when my makeup man transposed two hand fuls of type. When the paper came out, an irate hostess called me and wanted to know why 1 had put the names of her bridge party guests in the “Farm News’* column—just un der an account of a tale of registered bulla! 1 am con Aden t that all newspaper editors aril] go to heaven.

Egg Supply Runs Low. A chock-up on the Barnwell atorea and the Barnwell club market operat- ew twice a week by the farm women of this county at the court house, re veals the fact that eggs are becoming rather a scarce commodity. Corre sponding, the price has gone up to some extent in recent weeks. Harry G. Boylston, county xgant, says that this may be attributed to the fact that the seasonal* rise in price and the scarcity of eggs have begun and the peak will be reached in December. This condition seems to prevail, ac cording to the merchants, despite the fact that probably a larger number of chickens has been raised in Barn well County in the last two years than in any other period for the past decade. In addition to the chickens raised in the county, W. H. Moody, Jr., of Kline, is again raising a fine flock of turkeys for the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, while other farm ers in the county are also turning to this field for added revenue. College Uses Recordings for Speech Instruction Crawfordsville, Ind.—Wabash col lege, pioneer in the field of college speakers’ bureaus, uses a new in strument in speech instruction—a portable recording machine. The equipment was designed prin cipally for use in courses on diction, interpretative reading and begin ning speech, where recordings of students’ class speeches are made periodically, filed away and then played back at a later date so that the student may hear his progress or lack of it. In courses on articulation and pronunciation, where it once was necessary to give verbal instruc tions and then correct the student's errors, of which he himself was unaware. It now is possible to re cord his speech and permit him to hear himself as others do. Instructors in the speech depart ment also plan to use the device to record addresses of men who repre sent Wabash college in oratorical contests. The college long has been noted for its speakers and since 1919 has maintained a college speakers' bu reau from which it supplies careful ly trained students for addro—as be fore luncheon etube and other or ganizations During the eightjreers of its existence the bureei : SEVENTY RECRUITS WILL BE ENLISTED IN AUGUST During the month of August, 70 young men from the States of North v and South Carolina are to be enlisted ■a the United States Navy as appren tice seamen.

Berkeley, Calif.—California seis mologists hsve discovered s new geological fault on the Pacific coast which holds sAhreat of mors earth quakes in the future than in the past. The discovery of the fault was made as the result of three sharp quakes which occurred on July 6, 1934; January 2, 1935, and June 3, 1936. The succession of quakes and oth er similarity of symptoms led seis mologists to believe that the seat of the trouble must be in the region of Humboldt county and it was there that they eventually located the geological fault. An official re port of the finding has just been made to the Seismographical Socie ty of America. “Accurate location of the epi centers of these shocks,” Dr. By- erly, seismologist at the University of California, stated, “showed that their centers do not lie along the prolongation of the famous San Andreas fault from Point Arena, but rather line up in a more or less north and south direction along a line between seventy-five and 100 miles out from the, coast and ex- J tending from the northern to the ' southern border of Humboldt coun ty.” That shocks have an erratic tend ency just like the symptoms of a disease, Dean C. Carder of the geo detic survey, declared and for rea sons which cannot be explained the San Francisco bay region is having fewer seismic vibrations at present than during the period when the San Francisco-Oakland bay bridge was being constructed, while since the Golden Gate bridge has been virtually completed, still fewer vi brations are being recorded than during the construction of the San Francisco-Oakland bridge. Italian Amateur Shows Own 3-Dimension Films Rome.—Three-dimensional results In film work, which cameramen have been seeking for more than 90 years, at last have been ob tained, an Italian scientist de clared. Although loath to disclose how he had obtained these results, the In ventor. a thirty-one year old ama teur. Ubaldo Magnaghi. declared that the apectroacopa effects had been obtained solely by the use of filters. At a private projection of his Alma, the audience saw that ha had succeeded In getting threw-dimen- •tonal effects, not only of still Ufa, but of moving objects aa wall, giv ing a realistic quality to th# sub jects not hitherto seen on the The results were aD tho more striking because Louie Lumiere. the Frenchman who lays claim to hav ing invented motion pictures, has been working on this idea for a •core of years and has failed. Lu miere has succeeded In showing pic tures with depth, but the specta tor is obliged to wear a pair of colored spectacles, each lens of a different color. Magnaghi's spectro scope pictures appeared mors ef fect nrs. however, and did not re quire any spectacles. Magnaghi has been taking still and motion pictures for more than thirteen years, although ha has nev er worked on ordinary sue films. Magnaghi said that ha had pro duced his first spectroscopic films about three years ago, but only after years of experimentation. Water of the Zuider Zee No Longer Contains Salt Amsterdam, The Netherlands.— The fishermen of Marken island and Volendam learned from an official report that analysis of the water which for centuries used to provide herrings and other fish shows that it no longer contains salt. This, of course, is a natural consequence of the construction of the dike closing the Zuider Zee. The altcfation in the biological balance has caused the almost to tal disappearance of fish, bringing a plague of gnats. The Zuyder Zee reclamation scheme is by far the biggest thing of its kind that has ever been at tempted. By 1960, it is expected, it will have recovered 867 square miles from the waters, enough new land to support a population of 3,000.000. England Finds It Has Increase in Population London.—The popular belief that the marriage and birth rates of Great Britain are falling off and that the population is declining is disproved by the latest statistics is sued by the registrar-general. In 1935, the last period of calculation, there were more marriages, more babies and fewer divorces. The marriage rate was 17.2 per sons per 1,000 population, compared with 16.9 in 1934 and 15.3 in 1932. There were 598,756 births, an in crease oAhe 1933 total. The popu lation of England and Wales is now estimated at 40,645,000.

Especially advantageous in the processing of STAPLE COTTON. Staple cotton, due to its length, of course stays damp and green longer than ordinary short staple; and its delicate fibre is greatly protected by being thoroughly DRY before being allowed to pass through the gins. Experts advise us that there is No Loss in Weight due to the use of the Cotton Drier, for the cotton ab sorbs from the atmosphere all the natural weight canied, after it has been ginned.
