Inctitutioa ha a ahown that people have Inhabited the America! alnce prehistoric New times and that this world Is not new at all to the human race, says Pearsons London Weekly. There were inhabitants even before the famous ancient Fal-sohunters, who roamed the Amer leas about 13,000 B. C, and their weapons and tools have been unearthed to tell the story of their life. These weapons were of stone, without bandies, and were clutched in the fists of the men. Like many discoveries, America was merely rediscovered by Europeans in modern times. m Bow Furs Are Classified Furs that are very durable are otter, skunk, raccoon, krimmer, mink, beaver and fisher. Those classed as durable are fitch, Persian lamb, sable, muskrat, kolinsky, Hudson seal and Alaskan seal are fox, opossum, nutria erand marten; mine, weasel, caracul, squirrel, leopard, rabbit, lynx and American broadtail. Those listed as perishable are mole, chinchilla, broadtail and Indian kid. Semi-durab- le ,' God Bless Ton Sneesea God bless Why do people say you" when anyone sneezes? Because, says a noted lexicographer, violent sneezing was once looked upon as an epidemic and fatal distemper, and from this belief the custom arose. At one time a person who sneezed was thought to be under the influence of evil spirits, and the benediction God bless you was believed to counteract that influence. Gutenberg Bibles In Existence Dr. Valta Parma of the Library of Conress says there are 41 Gutenberg Bibles, or parts of such Bibles, known to be in existence. There are only three printed on vellum and these are in the Library of Congress, Washington, D. C., the British museum, London, England, and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, France. Animals Affected Both men and animals sometimes are afflicted with an abnormal excitability and irritability caused by the fall in barometric pressure that precedes storms, according to Collier's Weekly. Highly susceptible persons often awaken during the night with headaches brought on by this atmospheric condition. Many Uses of Word Reich Reich occurs in many compounds: Reichstag, the German national or state diet; Reichsgericht, supreme court; Reichsland, land; Reichsstadt, city; Reichsbank, bank; Reichsthaler, dollar; Reichsmark, mark; Reichsbishop, Reichsfuehrer, leader. The word bishop; Name Lavinia Means Cleansed The name Lavinia is of Latin oriIn gin and means the cleansed." Roman mythology Lavinia was the daughter of King Latinus and was supposed to personify the Latin race. It is one of the older names which seems to be in process of regaining its former popularity.

The difference Is this when a horse trots the left front and right hind feet hit the ground together, then the right front and left hind feet In the pace the left front and left hind hit together, then the right front and right hind. RackIs what the ing, or single-footinname implies the feet hitting the ground singly (giving very smooth ride). In the canter a horse rolls from one hind foot onto the other hind end opposite front, then the remaining front foot. g. Americas Patriot Army When General Washington first viewed his troops under an elm in Cambridge, Mass., it was made up of militiamen engaged for six weeks service. And what an army! As Washington wrote about that time to one of his friends, it was composed of men that came and went without aim or reason, doing as they pleased,' consuming the provision,-- ! exhausting the ammunition and melting away at the moment of trial. re- Preparedness of U.S, Industry j Regarded as Key to Security V By JOSEPH W.

This is the situation which has stimulated American efforts to assure both territorial and economic security, light creamy color. Allows Blood to Flow Backward 'Corrigan Pulse is an abnormality in which the incomplete closure of the aortic valve allows blood to flow backward into the heart, thereby causing the pulse to disappear momentarily, states a writer in Colliers Weekly. It is named after Dr. D. J. Corrigan (1802-188who lived in Dublin. City Comprised of Temples Satrunjaya, on the Kathiawar peninsula of India, is the largest city comprised entirely of temples, notes a writer in Collier's Weekly. It contains 863 beautiful Jain buildings that line its streets from end to end, no secular structures being allowed within its sacred walls. Found Coal in West Virginia The first person to report coal in West Virginia was John Peter Lally in 1742. This coal was found at a place now known as Coal river. In 1731 coal was discovered in Wood county, and in 1770 George Washington discovered a coal hill in Mason county, W. Va.

There was, during the World war, the classic case of the collier Cyclops, which set out from Brazil one day with 10,000 tons of manganese bound for the United States. Tbat boat never reached its destination, and neither it nor any of its 309 passengers were ever beard from again. Perhaps it encountered a German perhaps a mine; no one knows with certainty. And manganese is listed by the war department as strategic material number one; 14 pounds of this material are essential for the manufacture of every ton of steel and there is no known substitute. Today the United States produces domestically less than 8 per cent of its manganese requirements. More than a third of the manganese imports to this country come from Russia; other sources are British India, the Gold Coast of Africa and Brazil. When and if war comes the seas will no longer be free; the Russian and Indian sources of manganese would almost Immediately bf eut off from us, and the Gold Coast is 4,600 miles away. The Brazilian source was once cut off as we have seen, and may be again. While the United States has manganese ore resources in 20 states, they are largely undeveloped. Under the stimulus of war from 1914 to 1918, domestic output jumped from 2,635 tons to 305,869 tons, but production fell off again in 1919 and has remained almost negligible ever since. Processing methods have since been developed,- one of the most effective of which has been applied to the production of ore from the Cuban deposits of the Manganese company. The army sees the Cuban ores as an Important reserve since shipments from that country would not be subject to interruption in an emergency. Miller-Cas- e Plan Up. Both army and navy are strongly behind a plan to build up a stock pile of a million tons of processed manganese ore and opinion is growing for the removal of manganese from the list of commodities on which tariffs were reduced by reciprocal trade agreements with foreign nations. This plan is embodied in the Miller bill introduced at the last congress and the Miller-Cas- e concurrent resolution. It is anticipated that the plan will be presented again to congress at the session just starting. Important point in the preparedness program so far initiated is the plan to provide reserves of strategic war materials, and doubtless congress will reconsider as part of a general industrial mobilization plan legislation which was first Introduced last spring seeking authorization for the army and navy to acquire, over a four-yeperiod, $100, 000,000 worth of essential minerals, and providing that domestic producers bo favored in theca purchases. If this plan is reconsidered, and adopted in its present or an amended form, an Important step will have been taken in assuring for the United States continued supplies of materials on the list of which manganese is only one. Others are chromium, mica, quinine, tungsten, aluminum, antimony, coconut shells (used for carbon filters in gas masks), tin, wool, coffee, silk, hides, sisal, nickel, opium, mercury, iodine, optical glass, manila fiber and - Cuban-Ameri-c- .. x v ' ' I A v - ' st 7' 7 & s' FIFTHS CODE NO. 252 Flu4iWMitMillH8 IL - i Manganese for American a from far principally tray places , but Cuban deposits, similar to those found in the United Slates, hare been develmaterial being oped.

Other special jobs require training periods of between one and four years. America has no extensive munitions industry at the present time. Today the army manufactures most of its munitions In its seven arsenals, which supply little more than 5 per cent of wartime reeds. And there is a great lack of skilled labor. During the depression few apprentices were trained; manufacturers today, faced with the prospect of munitions orders, say they are unable even to secure men to manufacture the necessary tools. An essential part of the tremendous naval building program must be a program of in service training to provide skilled shipbuilders.

In order to educate industry for these necessary changes, congress at the last session authorized a five-ye310,000,000 program of educational orders. Extension of this program is regarded by the war department as essential. The very foundation of a preparedness program is the aupply of raw material! upon which the country must depend for production of all kinds of articles from gas masks to rifles; more than ever before in the history of the world the problem of national defense is an industrial problem, and raw material Is the keystone of Industry. Arms Budget Increased. Current publicity has familiarized the man in the street with trends In rearmament Index of the program is seen in unofficial estimates which place the national defense budget for the coming fiscal year, beginning July 1, 1939, at about $1,300,000,000, or an increase of about $250,000 over the preceding year.

As a matter of fact the war department has listed 21 strategic war materials for which the United States today depends wholly or partly upon foreign imports. And, in the event of a general European war, these imports might well be cut off; even trade lines between the United States and our South American neighbors might be sev- ar rubber. objective of this plan, as explained by Sen.
