The bureau of bioldgical survey announces that the ' scarecrow is practically extinct^ that the familiar figure of the cornfield, celebrated for many years in prose and rhyme, limned by many an artist's brush and animated at many a Halloween frolic is seldom seen any more. It seems that the scarecrow failed to keep up to date and that increasingly sophisticated generations of feathered marauders lost all fear and respect for him, once they learned that his patched coat, battered hat and stiffly outflung arms made up Only the slightest similitude to ffesh and blood, says a writer in -jthe Cdlumbus Dispatch. Farmers who still use scarecrows, it is said, are merely following tradition without realizing that no one is fooled. The scarecrow could possibly have been saved by spending more time and patience in making him a life-like figure^ by giving him a natural posture and a stuffed body from which the tattered garments hung lposely; But theh he wouldn't have been a scarecrow, at least in the form in which he has been a part of the American rural scene for so many years.

PENCIL POINTS Why North Is Alwafys" at '• ; ; , the Top of Modern Maps • ,No scientific principle makes it necessary to have the nqrth of a map at the top. It is prob'able that the ancient Greek and Roman map makers had East at the top, that being the direction of the rising sun. The medieval .map makers as a rule followed the same custom. However, a map in the British mu-' seum is oriented with South, at the top. It was made in 1492. Another map of the same collection is or,i ed with West at the top.--Pte placed north at the top of his maps and this system was followed by the early map makers of the British isles. With the revival of Ptolemy's geography during the Renaissance, placing North at the top became an established custdrri, which was further confirmed by the increase of the use of meridians and parallels. Otto Lang, famed skier, executes a "dry landing" id the fast growing sport of water skiing at Coronado, Calif. Picture shows him just entering the "snow plow" stop. In a "dry landing" the skier lets the rope go and coasts into the dock without even getting wet. Trick is to judge the speed correctly. If the skier goes too fast, he'll cr»sh the dock. If he goes too slowly, he won't reach It and will receive a ducking. NEW BRITISH KNIGHT The Lily Lake Ladies' League held a Bunco party at the Lily Lake Casino Tuesday afternoon.

Perhaps it was so called frt>m the fact that geographically it occupied the central position among the 13 original states. There is a theory advanced that the name was suggested by a bridge over Rock creek between Georgetown and Washington, D. C., the arch of which was built of stones left over from the Capitol. On 13 of the arch stones the names of the 13 ^original states were engraved, and Pennsylvania's mame was engraved on the keystone, or the Center stone. At any rate, the name was popularly applied to the state after a campaign document issued by the Democratic committee in 1803 advertised that state as the "Keystone of the Democratic Arch." the home of Mr. and Mar: Wehner on'with the Charlie Lasers' TORTURE TESTS TO WIN OFFICIAL SEAL OF APPROVAL! .

The cautious wolf-like expression of a Siberian or Labrador huskie makes the average person a bit wary, writes George Butz in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Huskies are timid of humans because of their environment in the North. The dogs do not come into contact with people, so it can be easily understood why they are reluctant to be petted and pampered. However, the Eskimos and dog sled driver* will tell you huskies do not bite. Why Oyster Is Liked Since Roman gourmets praised its succulence in poems at their feasts, the oyster has been held in high regard. Despite its ancient lineage and the aristocratic company it keeps, the supreme shellfish is a valuable food--and an economical one, to boot. It's high in mineral content--iodine, iron and calcium. It's comparatively cheap because it's all food--no waste from trimming. - •rMouainhaiaiafMtnriMrt, -• - RM MM SLMTSacom u 15c ,.u 15c l. 25c jm Wedding bells are sweet and soft-- in novels.

Bacchus Blessed Isle Discovered by Jacques Cartier centuries ago and named by- him "Isle of Bacchus" because of the profusion of wild grapes, the quaint little lie D'Orleans has remained entirely unspoiled by modern progress despite the fact that it is only SO minutes ride from Quebec. Why Dog Is Index to Owner Dogs kept as house pets become almost four-footed replicas of their masters, or mistresses. They reflect even the smallest details in the characters of the human beings with whom they live. Unlike the human beings who sometimes cover up their true characters, the dog is always the same. That is why he ia such a sure index to the owner. Why Airplanes Are Noisy * Airplane noise heard on the ground varies with the wind.
