With various proxy holders casting thousands of voles, their voice in the proceedings means nothing. Yet they turn out in numbers. Often, they are as fully cognizant of the affairs of the company as the officers themselves and always they are given due consideration by the officers and board members. Some of course come to make as much trouble as possible. Others, even though they are decidedly in the minority, are generally interested. With still others, it is a diversion. Retired from actual business, they buy a few shares here and there and attending the meetings gives them something to do a feeling, at least, that they are still taking part in the business of the country, cut Shirley Temple .

The price now is SO cents each and many peddlers have retired not only because of difficulty in obtaining stocks but because the government has taken a hand in the matter along with the police narcotic squad.

But prior to this fall, reports have it that the use of them was spreading.

Marijuana is a Mexican weed but it grows anywhere. So it was extensively cultivated in open spaces in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. As the plants grow four feet high, they are easy to spot. Whenever encountered, the WPA men rooted them up. It is estimated that they destroyed in all half a million pounds with a retail value of about $9,000,000. Harold Sherman told me about h street an incident on near the City club. A pedestrian stopped at a stand and bought a big red apple. Stepping to the curb, he took just one bite when the apple was yanked from his hand. Looking behind him, he saw it being reduced to pulp in the mouth of the steed of a mounted policeman. "Arrest that horse! he shouted. "He's a thief. The officer explained that the horse was so accustomed to apple gifts he looked on an apple in a mans hand as his own property. "I withdraw the charge, said the loser, regarding the horse intently. "He's having such a good time with that apple, he's welcome to it.

"The vital element of this recent contribution to safer navigation, now coming into wide use, is a combination of signals which tell3 the navigator his distance from dangerous reefs or shoals," says the National Geographic society. "Twenty nine stations sending such signals, scattered along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from West Quoddy Head, near Eastport, Maine, to the Southwest pass of the Mississippi river, recently participated in the most elaborate demonstration of their use ever arranged. They operated continuously during daylight hours to give all passing ships the opportunity to test out the new method, and judge of its accuracy. Danger in Fog. "In the stress of making harbor in a fog, shipmasters are too concerned to rely on an unfamiliar method. The tests by distance-findinobservations were made in good weather and in daylight because it was realized that, when the accuracy of the new method was immediately revealed by bearings taken from visible landmarks, mariners would gain enough confidence in the signals to rely on them later when fog would obscure the station sending them. "When approaching land in fog, it is often possible to hear sound fog signals from a lighthouse or lightship; yet, because of the vagaries of sound traveling through fog, the hearer may be unable to determine with any accuracy his distance from the sending station. This difficulty,' which has caused many sea dis- asters, is greatly reduced by the new 'distance-findinsignals, which really are 'distance-tellinsignals. "Two signals are Bent simultaneously a radio beacon signal and another by Bound. The mariner notes the time that elapses between arrival of Die radio signal, which comes in first, and reception of the sound signal. By calculations based on this lapse of time, he can determine how many miles he is from the sending station. The signals can be picked up by all ships fitted with radio direction finders or even simple radio broadcast receivers, if they can be tuned to the proper wave lengths. Sound signals are sent, of course, by the usual fog horn or siren. First Use of Signals. "This method of distance-tellin- g was first tried out by the United States lighthouse service in 1929, at Cape Henry lighthouse, Virginia, and Poe Reef lighthouse in the upper end of Lake Huron. "Te following year seven additional stations were placed in operation on the Great Lakes, where mariners already were making fren quent use of signals for calculating their positions. The use of distance-tellinfacilities' was but another step. In 1931 ten more stations were given the new equio-men-t, including two on the Pacific coast: the Blunts Reef lightship, California; and Grays Harbor lighthouse, Washington. "Blunts Reef lightship lies a short way off Cape Mendocino, a promontory which must be founded by all ships bound up or down the coast. Because of reefs extending seaward from the cape, ships must keep well offshore. Calculation of distance was formerly difficult when ' fog obscured everything. With the new signals, mariners can compute accurately their distance from the lightship and reefs, and avoid steering too close to shore. "At Grays Harbor lighthouse, Washington, vusels entering the bay from the open Pacific must pass through a narrow entrance formed by two jetties. When fog conceals the shore, ships seeking the entrance are in danger of running aground. The new signals, sent from the lighthouse close to the jetties, will enable ships to approach them with greater safety. "In 1935, nineteen lighthouses and lightships ware given the new ce-telling equipment in addition to those already in operation. By the end of 1938 at least 27 other stations will be so equipped, bringing the total to 73," -- g g' g' radio-beaco- g distan- Arksmas Farmhand Makes Guitar Out of Matches Amity, Ark.

W. Ireland's report on the men drafted for army service in the World war. Atlas emphasizes the slight improvement which ' public health, athletics, and haphazard physical training have effected in this country during the past two decades. A more determined campaign to develop the peacetime character of American manhood, he said, would have shown a more marked improvement over the 1917 - 18 draft figures. In that mass analysis an average of 532 men out of every 1,000 were found physically fit, 468 then failing to pass the requirements. A study of the reasons for rejection of army applicants made d by Atlas shows that nearly of the defecte are those which could be largely minimized by proper care and training. "The army report shows that defective vision is the chief cause for rejection, said Atlas. "In a large number of cases such deficiencies can be corrected by eye' specialists prescribing simple eye exercises and proper glasses. Many Overweight. More startling than this is the fact that the second largest cause for rejection is found in the height and weight of the applicants. That men allow themselves and their growing children to become overweight to the point of ultimately losing their efficiency, in the opinion of the army examiners, or underweight with a loss of energy and vitality, is amazing when it is considered that proper diet and exercise will eliminate these faults in almost every case. "Public health and physical should be training vigorously pushed throughout the country to bring about a really marked increase in the average number of American men who are physically fit." Proof that the rejections by the army constitute a fair yardstick throughout the country is seen in a statement issued by Dr. Greene.' Tabulations made on examination of men who applied for flight training reveal that 47 per cent failed to measure up to the required standards for physical fitness. Announcing, The BLUE BLAZE COAL CO.
