Hastily 125 old men and boys of the home guard: were gathered together to oppese the Federals and partially checked their advance until an army of Confederate cavalry arrived, 11 of the défenders being killed. The next year on the first anniversary of the battle the people of Petersburg decorated the graves of these dead. In 1868 Mrs. Logan, wife of General John A. Logan, then Commander of the G. ‘A. R., happened to visit Petersburg on its me- morial day and was so impressed with the beautiful tribute of flowers and flags that she suggested to the general that it should be made a nationa] custom. The next year | he issued an order for the observance of May 30 by the veterans of the G. A. R., and the custom has continued. 15, Affirm again pair, At home fi in #. 30. Baked clay 31. Hint 82.

DEATH'S BUSY SEASON i 4 As the summer approaches, with its increased tourist and other automobile -traffie; death prepares to reap its richest harvest. From.the homes of the United States must come about 30,000 to die and a million others to be injured, some crippled for life, during the year, if former records are to be equaled. This senseless slaughter goes on in spite of all the warnings given and in the face of the object lessons held daily before our’ eyes. The pitiful part of this ‘continvous tragedy is that most of these casualties are entirely unnecessary and might be pre- vented by the exercise of ordinary common sense. They are due either to an insane de- sire for speed or an utter disregard for the most elementary rules’of safety. Many of the victims are helpless pas- sengers, whose lives are at the mercy of the eriminally reckless or incompetent. driver. Some accidents are apparently unavoid- able, of course, but in the vast majority of eases they are the result of pure careless- again day.

The old text books told us, for ex- ample, that America was named for Amerigo (or Americus) Vespucci, an Italian explorer who closely followed Columbus and stole Christopher's thunder, Now comes an ancient document um- earthed in Prague, which is said to be a re- port of his adventures by Vespucci himself, in Tennessee, | dh eal See a MOLLIA v4 se pix | TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1934. 1806—James Jay Mapes, pio-' eer New “York ‘and New: Je ae 7 eee chemist, father of a7 noted: agriculturist and of Ma i“ .
