TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
julv 9 1497 Vasco da Gama, 37-
year old Portuguese manner, sailed
from Lisbon in command of four ships
on the epochal voyage on which he
found what Columbus vainly sought —
a sea route to India.
He coasted West Africa, w tnt
around Cape of Good Hope, met up
with Hindu merchants at Malindi,
East Africa and was guided to Cali
cut .
Mohammedan tiaders. rightiy fear
ful that opening of a sea route would
ruin their camel-borne traffic with
Europe in silks, spices, etc., incited
such hostility among natives that Da
Gama had to abandon his trading
post and flee. But he carried away
enough treasure to start many an
other expedition sailing to India. His
achievement caused those to Columbus
to be belittled by their contempora
ries.
Julv 9, 1755 —Maj. Gan. Edward
Braddock 60-year-old Scotsman would
not take advice from a young Arjleri
can aide named George Washington: ;
and died foolishly fighting European
style against French and Amerindians
who battled wilderness fashion. With
him fell 1000 of the 1400 men with
(whom he had set out from Cumber
land. Md., to attack the French strong
hold, Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh).
Thus what has been called “the great
est humiliation that ever befell Brit
ish arms” took place when the red
coats were ambushed at the crossing
of the Monongahela.
Braddock wasn’t killed by the en
emy. One of the Virginia provincial
soldiers. Thomas Faucett, shot him
iry the back after Braddock had issued
a positive order that none of the Eng
lish should protect themselves behind
trees, as the enemy did. Faucette’s
act saved Braddock’s force from
complete annihilation.
July 9. 1778 —“Articles of Confedera
tion and Perpetual Union” creating
the United States of America, were
signed by delegates of eight colonies
in Congress at Philadelphia atter
more than three years of debate, and
25 years after Franklin first proposed
the union. Delaware, which was de-J
stined to become the first state in the
Union, held out for a year more, the
Maryland even longer! Maryland re
fused to join the confederation until
all public lands northwest of the Ohio
were recognized as common property
of all the states.
The colonies expected Canada to
join the confederation, and made pro
vision for its entrance.
July 9, 1872—The Democratic Na
tional Convention nominated a Re
publican for President.
He was Horace Greeley, editor, who i
had already been nominated by the
Liberal Republican Party. Three
years before he had been a candidate
of the regular Republican party for a
New York state office. He got two
thirds of the popular vote, but only
one seventh of the electoral vote and
U S. Grant won.

In the colony were 2140 regular sol

unconquered by the Allies and this

WRITING WRONGS
You’re in error if you believe—
That no birds are capable of flying
backward
Humming-birds can: Tney can re
verse their wing action and move
backwards or stand still
That all water freezes at the same
rapidity at a given temperature.
This isn’t true. Water tnat has
ben boiled will freeze quicker than un
boiled water. This is due to the tact
that most of the dissolved air has
been boiled out, increasing the thermal
conductivity.

to accept the honor. He returned
home to relieve the distress of his
family which had been forced to flee
from Edenton to escape the British.
2. Timothy Duck failed to appear
when he was summoned for military
duty in April, 1781. The laws of that
time empowered the commanding of
ficer of the militia to have the sheriff
sell property of those who failed to
perform military duty. This was done
and proceeds used to hire John Aber

Duck’s substitute.

"S AUTOS
Number Increased From 28,
Provision for Bad
Weather Driving
Daily Bureaa,
In the Sfr %Va»fer Hotel.
BY j. V. BASKBBVILL.
Raleigh, July 9.— Forty new Ford
V-8 roadsters instead of only 28, have
been purchased for the State High
way Patrol, in order to provide safer
and more efficient transportation for
patrolmen in bad weather when motor
cycles cannot be used in safety, Cap
tain Charles D. Farmer, commander
0 f tne patrol, said today. At first it
was planned to purchase onlj* 28
roadsters and to buy sidecars for the
motorcycles for bad weather use. But
when it was found that the additional
roadsters could be purchased for al
most the same cost as motorcycles
and sidecars, the motorcycles
have to be espei\ly built, it was de
cided to get the 12 additional road
sters instead. These additional road
sters will also be used for night high
way patrol duty.
“The lieutenants sergeants and cor.
porals will drive roadsters every day,
so that 28 of these patrol cars will
be constantly in use,” Captain Far
mer said. “But in bad weather, the
other 12 roadsters will also be used,
with two patrolmen to each cah, since
motorcycles are dangerous and incap
able of making any speed in rain,
snow or sleet. will also use all the
patrol cars for night patrol work from
time to time, with two patrolmen to
each car. Wle believe they will prove
much more effective than the motor
cycles and side cars which we at first
intended to get.”
Each of the 40 roadsters, painted
aluminum color with dark blue hoods
to reduce the glare in the eyes of the
drivers, will be equipped with bullet
proof windshields, a stretcher for us&
in case of accidents, and scales for
weighing trucks. The rear compart
ment is being especially built that
when the rear deck is raised, suf
ficient space will be provided to car
ry a stretcher with an injured per
son in it- As a result the patrol cars
can be convinced into emergency am
bulances and be used to rush persons
injured in highway accidents to hos.
pitals.
MY NEW YORK I
By JAMES ASWELL
New York, July 9.—The railroad
stations of Manhattan —Pennsylvania
and Grand Central—have assumed a
wild juvenile air with the onset of
the camp I went over to
Grand Central the other day to see
a nine-year-old off to the New Hamp
shire lake country and found the
whole hail a chattering, skittering,
yelling, fistcuffing kindergarten.
Two family groups had arrived to
board the wrong v train. A little girl
was crying because she did not want
to go to camp at all but preferred
as sue shrilly told all and sundry to
accompany her Aunt Alice to the Par
amount theater —where somewhat to
my dismay I discover a film entitled
“Men Without Names” is playing. My
own charge, skating on his soles
across the inviting marble floor, slip
ped and bumped the back of his head
severely.
Distraught guards and redcaps
struggled with the milling moppets,
one of whom, I observed had arrived
with a full-sized canoe in portage, to
the delight of his confreres and the
worry of the attendants. A councilor,
looking little older than the young
sters he had in tow, was saying good
by, albeit a bit self-consciously, to his
girl-friend, who insisted on smacking
him on the cheek where a smear of
lipstick remained.
He’ll have some trouble living ; tjjat
down this summer!
STAGE FOOD
I was interested to see that the ac
tors and actresses in “Awake and
Sing” at the Belasco tneater appear
ed to devour their presumably “prop ’
food with a good deal of relish- That
was appropriate in a theater named
after the late great David—probably
the first man to insist that real food
be served and consumed in his pro
ductions.

about discobering what the folk be

such a smacking lips. (Along about
10 p. m, the sight of a duckling,
swashed in gravy going down an ac

envy in,the sixth row. And we could
even smell it!)
