ODDS AND ENDS
FROM EVERYWHERE

Three-fourths of the habit-
able globe is in the hands of
six nations. The other quarter
is divided among the remain-
ing sixty-odd countries. All
told, there is only 57,000,000
square miles of earth, good, bad
and indifferent. Of that, the
British control 13,172,000
square miles, or approximately
one quarter. The second largest
landholder is the Soviet Union,
with 8,144,000 square miles -
about one-seventh of the total.
France ranks third with nearly
5,000,000 square miles, and
China is fourth with some 4,250,-
000. Brazil comes fifth and the
United States last, each with
something like 3,000,000.

A former Sultan of Zanzibar
decided to destory every tree
on the island which was of no
use. In place of each one that
was cut down, he planted a tree
that was of value for its fruit,
its timber, or its beauty. The
results is that today, in Zanzi-
bar, one does not buy fruit but
pays a fruit wallah five rupes
(about $1.80) a month to keep
the household supplied. And
so widespread is the growing of
spices, especially cloves, that if
the wind is blowing off the
island, one gets a delightful
odor of spices for many miles
at sea, long before the island
itself is visible.

at exactly cost price - and has
prospered. Over the entrance
are the words: "God's Mercy
Store." AS placard informs the

to you at cost, nothing added
as profit to the store. The store
is kept by free-will offerings.
Anything you add to your pur-

MISS LANGSTON
HEARD BY CLUB

On April 22, members of the
Slater-Marietta Junior Home-
makers' Association were very
fortunate in having Miss Ruby
Lnagston, a nurse from the Pub-
lic Health Department, as their
guest speaker at a recent meet-
ing.

In her talk Miss Langston ex-
plained why it is important to
take shots for typhoid fever,
smallpox, diptheria, and whoop-
ing cough. She also told some-
thing of the origin and history
of the smallpox shot.

Mildred Shelton, president of
the Association, presided over
the meeting, and the devotional
was given by Betty Bruce. Alice
Talley led the group in prayer.

Mrs. James N. Cleveland
sponsor of the club, and Polly
Connor, local representative to
the State J. H. A. meeting, re-
ported that they had a wonder-
ful time at Winthrop College
April 18 and 19.

Later in the meeting, Har-
riette Talley was presented a
certificate for her excellenet
Home Project.

All of the members enjoyed
this meeting very much, espec-
ially the interesting and instruc-
tive talk by Miss Langston. The
girls are very proud of the pro-
gress the local Junior Home-
makers' Association has made
this year, but are planning to
have an even better J. H. A.
next year.

When Oliver Wendell Holmes
was still on the Supreme Court
bench, he and Justice Brandeis
took walks every afternoon. On
one of these occassions Holmes,
then 92, paused to gaze in frank
admiration at a beautiful young
girl who passed them. He even
turned to look at her as she
continued down the street.
Then, turning to Brandeis, he
sighed: "Ah! What wouldn't I
give to be seventy again!"
