PLAY OUTDOORS,”
IS NEW SUBJECT
WISE OLD OWL BEGINS NEW
FAIRY STORY—ALABAMA
GIRLS WRITES ON PETS.’
By “THE SUNSHINE LADY’’
Who will win the picture of the
Wise Old Owl by suggesting a name
for his club? Before much longer we
expect to have our first club mem
bers, and we hope to have the club
named by that time too. Maybe the
Wise Old Owl will like your sugges
tion best, and you will be the lucky
person to whom he will send his pic
ture; so all you boys and girls who
haven’t already told us what you
would like to name the club, hurry
and write your letters to us.
To become a member of the club,
and receive a membership certificate
with your name on it, all you need to
do is to write to us four times. Each
week we tell you what to write about;
and to the boy or girl, 12 years old
or under, whose letter the Wise Old
Owl decides is best, The Summerville
News gives a prize of 50 cents in
cash.
For this week the Wise Old Owl
wants you to write us letters about
“Why I Like To Play Outdoors.” Ev
ery boy and girl should know some
good reasons for playing outdoors, so
we hope to hear from a great many
of you.
Honorable Mention.
Elsie Waltz, of Gaylesville, Ala.,
wrote to us last week about her pets.
Her dog, Russel, knows many tricks,
she says, and he likes to chase her
cat, Tabbie, up the apple tree.
One of our weekly contests was on
the subject, “My Pets,” and so we
are giving Elsie honorable mention
for her letter which we greatly en
joyed. We were especially pleased
to receive a letter from Alabama,
and we will be expecting to hear
from Elsie again soon.
Write to us three more times, El
sie, and become a member of the
Wise Old Owl’s club. Send your let
ter on this week’s subject early
enough so that we will receive it not
later than Friday, Nov. 20, and per
haps you will win the 50-cent prize.
And tell your friends who go to
school with you to write to us, too,
Elsie. We would like to have letters
from many Alabama children.
Wise Old Owl’s New Story.
Last week the Wise Old Owl had
to postpone the beginning of his new
fairy story which he had promised
us, because we had two prize letters
to print. But this week he told me
some of the story, so here it is:
When the little blue flowers that
grow in front of a little brown home
were first planted there, a band of
fairies came to live in them. These
fairies came from the castle in the
clouds where the queen of all the
fairies lives. Whenever a new flower
garden is planted she sends some of
the fairies to live in it.
Os course, each band of fairies that
comes to make it’s home in a flower
garden has to have a leader. The
Princess Saphir, one of the queen’s
daughters, loved the pale blue flowers
so much that she begged her mother
to let her go with the fairies as their
leader. The queen gave her consent
but told Saphir that she must remain
in the castle until the other fairies
had prepared a home for her in the
garden.
The fairies came joyfully down to
their new home among the blue flow
ers, for very few bands are honored
t>y having a princess as their leader.
They eagerly made their plans and
started to work to make the garden
aeautiful for Princess Saphir. They
lanced and sang among the flowers
until hundreds of little blossoms un
folded their petals to watch the fair
ies. But they had other work to do
:00. They must make a throne and
i golden crown for their princess, and
:hey planned among themselves to ■
n«k« her * bwutifol gown woven of |
moonbeams.
To make the gown they had to
work at night gathering the moon
beams. The first night they came out
as soon as the moon rose. As the
moonbeams came to earth they pick
ed them up and wound them on
spools made out of tiny twigs. Then
they dug little caves under the rocks
which were all along the sidewalks,
wrapped their treasures carefully in
the leaves of the flowers, and buried
them safely beneath the rocks.
When morning came they had a
million spools hidden away. They
were very tired so tney curled up hr
the petals of the flowers to sleep
until the moon came up again.
We will just have to wait until
next week.

SKULLS SHOW SKILL
OF EARLY SURGERY
Trepanning Was Practiced
in Eighth Century, B. C.
London—That surgeons who prac
ticed in Judea in the Eighth century
B. C. were fully conversant with
the science of trepanning a skull is
revealed by Dr. C. B. Mortlock
through exclusive data sent him by
“J. L. Starkey, head of the Well
come archaeological research ex
pedition, now in its fourth year of
excavation at Tell Duweir, Pales
tine.
“A large deposit of human re
mains was found in a disused tomb
contemporary with the earlier de
struction of the city (Lachish). It is
suggested that these 2,000 bodies
were the result of salvaging the
burned city after the destruction by
Sennacherib in 701 B. C. About 700
skulls were in sufficiently good con
dition for preservation, and are now
in London awaiting study,” says Dr.
Mortlock.
Two Examples of Trepanning
“Besides many interesting patho
logical specimens and two skulls
which were intentionally distorted,
there are two examples of trepan
ning.
“These are the earliest examples
of this type of trepanning. All
specimens found before have shown
that the operation was made by
circular scraping, but the two
Lachish skulls conform to a tech
nique which was previously only
known among the Incas of Ameri
ca. In one skull the surgeon has
started the operation on the left
parietal and then performed on the
opposite side.
“Experts believe that in the case
of Inca skulls the patient never re
covered from the operation, but
there is evidence that the Lachish
patients survived. Anthropologists
will now have the chance to study
a large group of contemporary
skulls from the same site, which
will result in valuable deductions as
to the inhabitants of Judea during
, the Jewish monarchy.
Shops With Goods Uncovered
“The excavations show that at
the last period of occupation there
was a public square within the
gates, and a group of shops with
their stores of goods has been un
covered. All the contents were in
position when the roofs fell in from
the burning of the city. They were
found buried under the ashes.
“The largest shop Was that of a
weaver. Set in the floor was a large
limestone dyeing vat; a row of loom
weights marked the position of the
looms and 'a fragment of wooden
beam actually remained of the
burned loom. From the same shop
came a clay seal impression from a
papyrus document bearing the im
press of a seal ‘For Hilkiah the son
of Maas.’
“Close by were the premises of a
corn chandler, and many jars bear
ing the royal stamp of Hebron were
stacked in a wine and oil store.
“The XVIII-XIX dynasty temple
which produced the Duweir Ewer
from the later levels has proved
equally interesting in the earlier
period. A fine group of pottery, in
cluding a flat platter, about thirty
five dipper flasks and a painted
vase imported from the Greek main
land in the Fifteenth century B. C.
was found close to the early altar.
“This continuity of the history of
the building is also confirmed by
the development of the temple plan,
which shows a continuous relation
ship in the three buildings covering
a period from 1480 to 1260 B. C.”

The Passenger Pigeon
Every species or subdivision of a
species of domestic pigeon to be
found in our country today, had its
origin in some European, or Asiatic
country, according to an authority
in the Rural New-Yorker. North
America, did, however, have' a
truly representative Amercan pi
geon, the Passenger pigeon, a wild
pigeon whose natural habitat was
the entire continent. This particular
American bird would be with us to
day, had it not been for the un
merciful slaughter of it by those
whose only thought was the making
of “easy money,” which brought
about its extinction.
Germs Spread by Dirty Fingers
That the germs of many diseases
are spread by unclean fingers was
demonstrated recently by Dr. Emil
Klarmann with enlarged finger
prints. The impressions of clean
fingers were clear cut, showing the
whorls and ridges plainly. But the
prints of germ-laden fingers re
vealed with startling clarity the
presence of the germs. Numerous
spots appeared on the unsanitary
finger-prints, in contrast to the spot

San Quentin Prison Has
Become Real Melting Pot
San Quentin Prison, Calif. —San
Quentin prison, in proportion to its
size, possesses a greater cosmopol
itan and international population
than any other spot in the world,
according to a census just com
pleted by Ralph Thatcher, editor
of the prison’s publication.
Even a session of the League of
Nations, meeting within the limited
precincts of its own property, hard
ly can present a more universal in
ternational crowd than does San
Quentin, he declares.
At present the prison houses
about 5,000 inmates coming from
virtually every state in the Union,
its foreign possessions and from at
least 44 countries of the world. An
analysis of population shows that
out of every five inmates, only one
is a native of California, three come
from some distant state, and one
is from a foreign land.
Japan’s Population Rise
in 1935 Was Her Biggest
Tokyo.—The cabinet bureau of
statistics announces that the in
crease in Japan’s population last
year by the excess of births over
deaths was 1,028,623. the largest an
nual increase on record. The near
est approach to it was in 1932, when
the increase was 1.007,398.
On an average 240 Japanese were
born every hour in 1935, while 133
died.
For the last five years Japan’s
annual increase of population has
been close to the 1,000,000 mark and
the total is now above 69,000,000.
There were 169 people to the square
mile in 1931, compared with 183 in
England, 266 in Belgium and 213 in
The Netherlands, but Japan has
much more mountainous land than
the others.
