THE M'HXtfRY PLAINDEALER, THURSDAY, FEB. 24, 1927 'Oman's Confidence in Her Protege JustiAmd _ "At that time (1793), astonishing as •I may seem, the cotton crop of the entire country could have been raised ® a field comprising not more than 100 acres. The price of cotton was exceedingly high because of the coat •f preparing It tof the market. The ' ^fai8f expense was in cleansing It of Urt, leaves and the seeds which clung to the fibers, it appeared unlikely tiiat cotton could ever be raised In targe quantities In this country because of the cost of preparing it for Hie use of the spinner. "One evening Mrs. Greene was entertaining a distinguished gathering of •puthern gentry, and the conversation turned to this particular problem. I,** 'Surely Mr. Whitney can supply Jfcnr needs,' said Mrs. Greene, with Confidence Hi her protege. Her guests Vtgarded the remark as a pleasantry, Imt young Whitney took It In all seriousness.

Infant Prodigy A music critic encountered a pianist About whom he had made adverse remarks in print. "I'd like to know what you know •bout music anyway.!' said the aggrieved man, angrily. "You've never had any kind of practical experience. What have you ever played on?" "Oh, come; you wrong me," said the critic.

Found Begging Paid Better Than Writing A beggar on the streets of Buende Aires can make $1.25 in an hour. An unskilled laborer draws about $2 for eight ijours of work. The working classes Contribute 80 per cent of the money that beggars "collect, and domestic servants give more than ail the rest put together. Young girls are more charitable than older women, and widows more than women whose husbands still live. Among all classes, women contribute most to the beggar's hoard, giving more and more frequently than men. Among cart drivers are more liberal chauffeurs, and clerks more handed than their employers. This cross-section, of the purse of Buenos Aires was drawn by a reporter who disguised himself as a "down-and-outer" and then spent a lucrative day begging In all sections of the business and shopping districts. During the five hours he made $6.25, which .was four times as much as he made working 15 hours as a reporter for his newspaper, which, he remarked to his friends, as he changed back to necktie and spats, would soon be looking for a man to replace him. U. S. INTERVENTION IN NICARAGUA AREA Washington is Determined to Project Americans mod ^lEnd Revolution* i men. than free privy Corlnto, ricaragua.--Eight hundred United States marines and bluejackets have been fended at Oorinto from American warships. About 350 of them are stationed at Chlnandegn, scene of recent heavy fighting, 400 at Leon, while the others are scattered along the railway route. \ Shrewd Swindling Scheme At an American port on one occasion a package of French gloves arrived. The consignee was perfectly willing to pay the necessary duty until be discovered that all the gloves were lefthanded. Then he refused to accept them. So the customs authorities took them over and in due course they were sold for a mere song. At another port a package of righthanded gloves arrived, and the-same procedure was followed. This was merely part of a clever scheme to cheat the custom*. The two packages of gloves were acquired from the customs by the consignee at much less than the duty payable, and nothing could be said, for all the formall* Ues had been complied with. Defining "Christian** "The London policeman is the finest example of a Christian I have met; he will answer any foolish question that any foel asks him," said Doctor Norwood, the bishop. As a definition of a Christian that seems to leave something lacking. The precise duty of the Christian to the fool has never been satisfactorily stated. The author of the Book of Proverbs evaded the question by writing, In two consecutive verses, "Answrt" a fool according to his folly" and "Answer not a fool according to his folly," but then the author of Proverbs was not, in the strict sense of the word, a Christian. St. Paul congratulated the Corinthians on suffering fools gladly, put then the Corinthians probably had no traffic problems.--Pierre Van Paassen, in the Atlanta Constitution. Famous Botanist Am Gray was for many years the Teadfng botanist of the United States. He built up the Herbarium and Botanic garden at Harvard. He started the first summer school because of his belief that summer was the time of the year that botany could best be studied. * " $1.00 OFF on all Tires and Batteries • "" ..

Eberhardt that after consultation between Mr. Eberhardt and Rear ^Admiral Latimer marines had been landed and placed along the railroad between Corlnto and Managua. Rumors of American Intervention have been current here for some days'; officially they have bten denied. The announcement by the Department of State Is looked on as meaning that plans have been made for complete intervention. Unofficially It Is said about 000 marines are to be employed In guarding the railroad. The legation guard at Managua, moreover, has been augmented. iTje action of this government is said to have the full approval of the Nioaraguan government. The Dla* government is said to be prepared to accept" American protection similar to the plan now In force In Haiti for a fixed period. The following announcement was given out by the State department: "The Department of Stat"» was Informed bv Minister Charles C. Eberhardt and Admiral Latimer at Managua that after consultation It was found advisable for the protection of foreign lives and property and to maintain communication between the legation and the legation guard at Managua and the sea, land additional naval forces to those stationed at certain points along this railway. This action has the full consent and approval of the Nicaraguat) government." Unless Sacasa calls off his revolution other and more extensive neutral rones will be established and. If necessary. virtually the ^hoie country will be declared a neutral territory policed by American forces. It also transpires that the United States and Mexico are clashing again In Nicaragua. Despite the patrol maintained by the American , forces, arms. It has been learned, are still being slipped through from Mexico to the Sacasa revolutionists. President Coolidge. in his message to congress, accused the Mexican government of furnishing arms to Sacasa. One of the objects In dispatching more marines is to Intercept these arms shipments. American marines are to remain in Nicaragua indefinitely. It Is not unlikely that the result of American intervention will be ,an arrangement making Nicaragua a sort of American protectorate, analogous to Haiti and Panama. The report that Dlas has proposed a relationship with the t'nited States similar to that between the United States and Panama has aroused much interest here, inasmuch as this is i*- garded as a logical step for safeguarding American interests In the Nicaraguan interoceanic canal route. Subcommittee to Act on Coal Wage Matte? Miami, Fla.--A subcommittee of the Joint conference of miners and operators of the central competitive bituminous field holds In its hands the task of ironing out differences .between conflicting proposals for a new wage agreement. Following a spirited meeting in which both sides vigorously defended their wage proposals, the joint conference gave the matter to the sub committee with Instructions to conduct further hearings and draw up a unified proposal.

The origin of the word "spooning" goes back nearly 500 years. In the days when a young man called on the girl for some time he would sooner or later, present her with a "love-spoon." This was a hand-made utensil with two bewte on a single stent, meaning .that an cbpimmm pu hh tip follow^„ OrtL Practice of Kissing Not Universal Custom The idea of the kiss being an Instinctive gesture is negatived by its being unknown over half the world, where the prevailing salute is that by smelling or sniffing (often called by travelers "rubbing noses'!). • • Tbe kiss appears constantly in Semitic and Aryan antiquity. In Greece In the classic period it became customary to kiss the hand, breast or knee of a superior. In Rome the kisses of Inferiors became a burdensome civility. The early Christians made it the sign of fellowship. It early passed Into more ceremonial form in the kiss of peace given to the newly baptized and In the celebration of the eucharlst. While the kiss has been adopted as a religious rite, its original social use has continued. Among men, however, it has become less effusive. Coifrt ceremonial keeps up the kiss on the cheek between sovereigns and the kissing of the hand by subjects, and the pope, Mke a Roman emperor, receives the kiss on his foot.--Encyclopedia Britannlca. ; ~ Peruvian Traffic Bug wn up the Amazon Investigating Scientists found the traffic bug, a nature, busy, voracious and combative, dve of Peru, strangely armored by naat war with many other forest bug citizens, the Ohio State Journal informs. its name was given for the reason that nature equipped it with a red light on its head and a green light •h Its tall, the lights showing at ail OlTIMl J 1_ *_ _ Worked Both IWays *Tou know Percy Jones?

The spirits of camphor are slightly antiseptic, dry up quickly and heal the annoying little fever blister* or cold-sores that so often follow a slight cold, or indicate that the sy* teta is just a little out of order. The camphor may be applied frequently until the cold sore begins to disappear. In the Glacial Age It Is impossible to say how long a period the glacial water® of Lake Agassiz covered the greater parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan. North Dakota and Minnesota. The lake, from its earliest measurements, appears to have been" 110.000 square miles, with a length of 7(K) miles, width of 250 miles,and a depth of 700 Besides the reclaimed land now known as the Red River valley there remains still of Lake Agassiz the shrunken remnants constituting Lakes Winnipeg, Manitoba, Rainy lake, Lake of the Woods and Red lake. Blood Inheritance The public health service says that, according to the Mendalian law of inheritance, negro blood or any other specific trait of inheritance is supposed to show up in the offspring according to a definite and rather complex plan. It occasionally happens that an offspring has a flarebaok to previous generations. This is called atavism, a recurrence or a tendency to recur to any ancestral trait, deformity, or disease after its disappearance for two or more generations. The cause of this reversion Is not known. Negro blood can never be completely bred out, but it can become so attenuated as to be Impossible to detect.
