TODAY’S YESTERDAYS Aug. 10, 1519 —‘Ferdinand Magellan, sailed from Seville, Spain, with a com pany of 270 in five ships, on which was to become the first circumnavi gation of the earth. That wasn t what it started out to be! Magellan was a cripple discharged from the service of the Portuguese king as useless! His ships had been declared by foreign spies to be unsea worthy! Aug. 10, 1790 —The ship Columbia, Robert Gray, master, returned to Boston, having completed the first circumnavigation of the globe under the American flag. Os far more im portance than the fact that she had gone around Earth, was the news that she brought back. Her voyage began the northwest fur trade, which enabled the merchant adventurers of New England to tap the vast reser voir of wealth in China, and change the histories of both the U. S. and China. The Columbia and those who came after her traded trinkets to the In dians for furs, and traded the furs in China for silks, spies, chinaware and tea which Europeans and Ameri cans bought at handsome prices. A profit of $50,000 per voyage of a ship in the Cnina trade was not unusual. Aug. 10, 1792 —A Paris mob attack ed tne Tuileries and murdered the Swiss guard of King Louis XVI, and a commune was set up at the hotel de ville. Tms is called the beginning of the French Revolution; actually, it was only the beginning of the violent stage of it. When Lafayette, who had helped Americans win their revolution, heard of the insurrection in Paris, he tried to rally his troops on the frontier in defense of the monarchy. Failing, de serted the army and surrendered to the Austrians! Aug. 10. 1845—The United States Naval Academy was established at Annapolis.

S. gov er/Vent yielded at last to the im portunities of advocates of prepared ness, and established a national train ing camp at Plattsburg, N. Y., for the voluntary military training of citizens. Plattsburg was destined to produce hundreds of able officers for the coming conflict. Same day, at Bielostok, Russia, Zeppelins gave a demonstration of their efficiency as “land battleships.” A squadron of them, supporting the German advance, made an attack on Bielostok, important railway center, in the night. From 10,000 feet, 30 bombs were dropped, one after the other. Explosions of ammunition fol lowed that were so terrific they were felt in the Zeppelin itself. Russian artillerymen made futile efforts to hit the Zeppelins. The railway junction was wiped out. On this occasion, as on many an other during the conflict, the Zeppe lin showed its superiority to the air plane as a bomb thrower.

Why was Tarlton recalled after having been sent by Cornwallis in pursuit of the forces that defeated General Ferguson at Kings Moun tain? 3 How many years did the North Carolina Supreme Court hold a sum mer term at Morganton? 4. What brief description did John Lawson write of North Carolina in 1701? 5. When was Morganton establish ed and what was its former name? 6. What encouragement did the State give in 1775 for establishing a paper mill? ANSWERS 1. Yadkin County had eighteen li. censed distillery plants and seven co operage plants. Wilkes had only eleven licensed distillery plants that year. 2. After Cornwallis had dispatched Tarlton to attack the Kings Moun tain victors, he examined a prisoner whom his forces had taken. The pri soner told him that the Kings Moun tain patriots numbered three thous and riflemen, and that they were nearby planning to attack him. Corn wallis held a hasty conference with Rowdon and then sent messenger to resell Tarlton who had already marched about eighteen miles. Corn wallis then withdrew his forces to the south side of the Broad River. 3. For fourteen years, beginning in 1847 and ending in 1861, the Supreme Court held a summer term at Moi-. ganton. James R. Dodge of Yadkin County, was clerk of this court dur ing its entire life. 4. Following his exploration in in land North Carolina in that year he Women of Biblical Ethiopia See First War birds Contrary to popular impression, Ethiopians have some war planes of with which to fight Italians, and here some of the na tives get first glimpses of these “magic carpets.” American soldieia Os fortune are being engaged by Ethiopia for it* air force, and may fly these plane* against Italian*.

The legislature which convened at Hillsboro, April 19, 1784, appoint ed Waightstill Avery, James John ston, William Lenoir, Joseph Mc- Dowell and John Walker, as a com. mittee to buy 100 acres of land near the center of Burke County for a town to be known as Morgan. It also provided a levey of one shilling, for every 100 pounds taxable property in Burke, and four pence on the prop erty in Lincoln, Rutherford and Wilkes Counties, which were includ ed in the Morgan district. - The com mittee bought 230 acres, known as Alder Springs. The next legislature accepted this and named General Mc- Dowell, John Blanton and Alexander Irvin, as commissioners to build court house, jail and stocks, and to sell lots. 6. If offered a premium of 250 pounds to any person who would es tablish a mill and make as many as ninety reams of paper. Two year* later a mill was built at Hillsboro, and an appeal was published, urging the people to save their old rags which would be bought by the mill. In this appeal was a special plea to the young ladies for rags, for even “an old handkerchief no longer fit to cover their snowy breasts.” There Vitamin B Is Obtained In Well Balanced Diets 6y LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. A CORRESPONDENT, P. E. F., writes: “A newspaper of June an nounced the segregation of pure vitamin B in crystal form. Early ex periments seem to show that this tlie treatment of i'' < 1 —■ tides have dealt D«\ Clendening with the rela tionship between diet and neuritis, can you tell me whether crystalline vitamin B is available?” Williams previously had found that certain chemical compounds, in timately connected with a betaine llke ring, were able to dissipate the neuritis of fowls, induced by vitamin B deficiency, so he advanced the hypothesis that some such structure would be found to correspond to the formula of vitamin B. So far as I know, none of these products are available for general clinical use. The demonstration of the crystal line structure of vitamin B is not so important from the standpoint of having a pure product for treatment purposes, as from the standpoint of • theory. It was not long ago that ' scoffers used to ask, “Wh'o .kno’ws -what the vitamins -VNtftv ’we can answer as accurately as it we told someone water is H2O.

Milk is one, and I know of no report that indicates that milk has ever been found deficient in vitamin B. Yeast is another, although less rich than wheat; rice and cereals so long as they are unmilled or un processed. In other words, so long as their outer shell remains on. In the case of wheat flour, this outer shell is removed in milling to make white flour, but whole wheat, and hence whole wheat bread, con tains the vitamin. Bran, which 1* simply the shell of the wheat re moved in milling, contains it in con centrated form. White bread, however, has the vitamin B re-added to it in the yeast, and if prepared with milk this adds more. Vitamin B is destroyed by heat, but not by the amount of heat pro duced by ordinary cooking. The question has arisen whether we get an adequate amount of vita min Bin our average diet. It has appeared in experiments, where the concentrated vitamin was added to the diet, that the people to whom It was fed only realized their subnor mal state of health by contrast with the improvement which followed ths use of a higher vitamin B content. One result of low vitamin S amounts in the diet is impaired ap petite. In animals and humans tlfli is corrected by vitamin B concen trates. But only when the diet contains • preponderance of artificially refined food is there likely' to be a real vita min B deficiency in the diet. EDITOR’S NCfTE: Six pamphlets by £>r.

The mystification of the people over the accident was expressed by Mus solini’s newspaper, II Popolo d’ltalia, which said: “This disaster gives us a profound sense of bitterness also because this plane, which was flying from Cairo Asmara, after an uneventful flight from Rome to Egypt, was a magnifi cant machine. That it was powerful was already brilliantly proved in its Mediterranean and African cruise of 20,000 kilometers (about 12,400 miles).
