MYSTERY OF LOST COLONY RECALLED Old Puzzle Is Recalled by Fetes in North Carolina. Manteo, N. C.—As a fitting tribute to the first English settlement in this country (on Roanoke island. North Carolina, In the year 1587, under the sponsorship of Sir Walter Raleigh), a series of celebrations was held on the Island this summer. The idea is to commemorate the three nundred and fiftieth anniver sary of the founding of the colony. On August 17 was observed the three hundred and fiftieth anniver sary of the birthday of Virginia Dare, the first child born of Eng lish parents in America. Thirty-three years before the Pil grims landed on Plymouth rock, and 20 years before Jamestown was settled, the 100 men, 12 women, and 9 children who formed the first Eng lish colony in America settled on Roanoke island. This was in July, 1587. Colony Disappears. On August 27, 1587, Gov. John White, who headed the expedition, bade farewell to his companions and to his nine-day-old granddaugh ter, Virginia Dure, and sailed to England for supplies. Upon his re turn four years later, the colony had completely disappeared, the only traces left being a few broken pieces of armor and the word "Croatonn” carved on a tree. What happened to Sir Walter Raleigh's "lost colony" is a mystery which for centuries has baffled historians Many explanations and legends have risen. Did the colonists Intermarry with the Indians and are theii descend ants living in North Carolina to day? Was the colony exterminated by the Spaniards? Were the set tiers massacred by the Indians? No one knows for sure. Governor White himself told the story of his return to the island in 1)1. Upon this story are based all accounts of what happened. "We returned,” he said, “round about the north point of the island until we came to the place where I left our colony. “In all this way, we saw in the sand the print of the savage's feet of two or three sorts trodden in the night, and as we entered upon the sandy banks, upon a tree, the very brow thereof, were curiously carved these fair Roman letters, C. R. O. which letters presently we knew to signify the place where 1 should find the planters (colonists) seated, according to a secret token agreed upon between them and me at iny departure from them; which was that in any way they should rrt Co to write or carve on a tree or of the doors the name of the where t' y s''.

If they should happen to be dis tressed in any of those places, the> should carve over the letters 01 i name a cross in this form. Bin we found no sign of distress. | "And having well considered ol this, we passed toward the place ■ where thay were left in sundry houses, but we found the houses tak en down and the place very strongly , enclosed, with a high palisade of great trees, with curtains and flankers and very fortlike, and one of the chief trees or posts at the right side of the entrance had the bark taken off and five feet from the ground in fair capital letters was graven ‘Croatoan.’ without any cross or sign of distress.” A growth of weeds indicated that two seasons had passed since the departure of the colonists. Sir Walter Raleigh dispatched five rescue expeditions, but none was successful. Clarinda, la.

SOVIET POLAR BASE ANSWERS PROBLEMS Derails of Arctic Provided by Russian Explorers. Leningrad.—Professor R. L. Sam ollovich, director of the All-Union Arctic institute, has summarized the work carried out by the four Russian explorers who flew to the North Pole and established a base there. Paying tribute to Ivan Papanfn, Ernest Krenkel, Peter Shirshov and Eugene Federov, the professor said; 1 "Four courageous men, despite the brief time of their stay at the North Pole, have made a num ber of important discoveries con cerning the nature of the vast white spot, the center of which is the pole. "We knew nothing about the Cen tral Polar basin, whereas at pres ent we know precisely the depths pre vailing in the proximity of the No*rth Pole, and we can say with certainty that the Arctic ocean represents a cup, the deepest parts of which are located in the vicinity of the North Pole. 'Until lately we had no idea of' the direction of the warm current of the Gulf stream in the northern' latitudes; now we know that even on the pn’e there passes a powerful current of comparatively warm At lantic water. "We knew nothing about the drift of the polar ice floes in this region inaccessible to man. Now we know that the drift generally proceeds in the southwestern direction toward the area situated between Spitz bergen and Greenland. "We f. imerly could only conjec ture in the past on the weather con ditions characterizing the climatic peculiarities of the area near the pole, whereas at present we know that comparatively high tempera tures cf tiie air prevail there during the summer season. "The presence of birds proves that life does exist on the ice on the North Pole, and it will undoubtedly be found under the ice, too. Finally, we have ascertained the magnitudes of the elements of land magnetism.” served lunch free Saturday at the church that assisted in helping in the pi ogress of the church.

If it doesn't benefit you, con sult a physician. Don’t neglect such pains. They depress the tone of the nerves, cause sleeplessness, loss of appetite and wear out a woman’s re sistance. Get a bottle of Cardui and find out by trying it whether it will help you like thousands of women have said it helped them. Besides easing certain pains, Cardui aids in building up the whole system by helping wom en to get more strength from the food they eat. Twenty Iron Men Busy in Tiny “Logging Camp” S’eveni Point. Wis.—From pieces of scrap iron and steel Eric Ke drowicz has constructed a miniature sawmill complete with steam en gine. logcp'ng sleighs, flatcars an<J miniature pine trees. Ksdrowicz, a barber by trade, ha$ placed his miniature sawmill on a wooden platform fourteen feet long and four feet wide. Most interesting of the miniature logging operations carried on in Ke druwicz's “camp” is the sawmill it self. It is operated by a home-made steam engine which drives the saw along a two-foot carriage. The camp railroad was built en tirely out of scrap steel except for the freight engine's four drive wheels, which were cast of babbit. The engine is thirty-two inches long, is operated by steam and will run for three hours unattended. A blow torch generates the steam in the miniature boiler. When Kedrovvicz sets the sawmill in motion twenty iron men operated by steam go through the motions of their jerbs. Woodchoppers hack away at trees, a man fishes in a pond, two men operate a cross-cut saw, a man sharpens an ax on a grindstone, and a horse swishes its tail. It took four years of work after the barber shop was closed for Ke drowicz to complete the sawmill. f Drivs Launched to Spur Use of Fruit in Austria Vienna.—An average yearly con sumption of 200 pounds of fruit by every person is declared as a de sirable goal by Austrian physicians. Now about 80 pounds are being eaten by the average Austrian in a year. Even this amount cannot be fur nished by Anstria's fruit growers, (as $3,000,000 worth of fruit is im ported from abroad, mostly from Italy. Austria possesses about 20,000,000 fruit trees, or three to every inhabi tant. To increase this number in pro portion to the rising demand is the object of the recently organized Austrian Fruit Growers’ association, which advocates the importation of healthy and suitable trees from ■abroad, particularly from Califor nia and Florida.
