in his entertaining book, "Along

The author's leve of rivers led
him .to the Mississippi and to a
lesser-known spot called Gee's
Bend. Here, he found a simple

Because of inbreeding the vil-
lagers had few surnames - per-
haps four or five in all, Among,
themselves they used a few
Christian names. Tom, Edward
and Andrew divided among the
men, Bella, Sarah and Kate by
the womenfolk, •.
All very confusing perhaps
when wanting one particular
Tom, but the villagers had
found a way of avoiding confu-
sion. They simply added letters
of the alphabet after their names.
Thus, says Gordon Cooper, there
would be in one family a Tom -
C, Tom -K, Ed -F, and Ed -M. The
village leader had a slight vari-
ation of the practice. His name
was Androka, a derivative from
Andrew -K.

What Women Do
To Get A Man
When a pretty, nineteen- year-
old girl arrived at a party in
Wellington, New Zealand, re-
cently, her face fell. "There
aren't half enough men to go
round," she pouted. -
Then an idea struck nor. Be-
fore her friends could stop her,
she rushed to a telephone, rang
up the local Are brigade and in-
vited everyone along.
Politely but firmly, the fire-
men refused to come. So ten
minutes later the girl rang up
the fire station again, this time
calling them out on a fire 'alarm.
The sequel? The girl had to pay
a fine of 315 and was ordered to
pay the cost of the turn -out!
It's amazing what a woman
will do to get a man!
One blonde, who loved a man
who had been jailed for four
years for stealing cheque forms
belonging to her, scraped togeth-
er her hard-earned savings, took
them to a solicitor and pleaded
with him to get the man released
somehow,
"She put the solicitor m funds
so that this application could be
made for the man's release," ex-
plained his counsel He added
that the woman wanted to marry
the man who had wronged her.
But the application failed.
Even more determined to get
her man was an eighteen -year-
old, sloe-eyed Italian girl. whose
lover had walked out •m her,
slamming the door.
As he reached the street, he
heard a shout and saw the .shape-
ly form of the girl he had just
left falling from a secnnd-floor
window.
He rushed forward anu just
managed to catch' her in pis arms
before she hit the pavement.
They rolled over on the ground
together. They were taken to
hospital with minor inju-fes and
later that night kissed and made
it up. "I've won back my man,
nurse,"girl confided the Id the
matron before leaving nospital
with him next day.
She certainly fell for. min!
In a Yorkshire church just
twenty years ago the bell tolled
once. The surprised vicar went
from his vicarage to investigate.
There he saw a woman, a
stranger to him, kneeling at the
altar. Soon after a man, also a
stranger to him, entered the
-,.chyheh and looked round He
went to the kneeling woman
'and' said: "I am here, darl'ng!"
The pair conversed in whis-

,their re=union. And the vicar

her mind.
"I want hien, I must have hint

magistrate not to send him to
prison,
And the magistrate, freeing the
man, commehted: "If you can
explain why a -woman' acts like
that, you have explained one of
the greatestmysteries of the
worldo Turning to the husband
he added: "Your wife is deeply
infatuated with you. Even your
shoddy treatment has not killed
her love."
Wives have braved death and
starvation to be near their hus-
bands. There was a woman in
the first world war who dodged
officials, stowed away in a troop-
ship and got up to the front-
line trenches because she feared
her husband would be killed.
She turned up, disguised as a
man, on a day when the enemy
was putting over a barrage and
a shell burst very near her. She
got to her husband before be-
ing shipped back to Britain.
Bandits' bullets were braved
by a thirty -five-year-old plant-
er's wife, who went to live with
him in a wired - off compound
on a 3,000 -acre estate hemmed
in by the jungle.
'Once she was driving with him
on his rounds when bandits fired
and shots went straight through
the car without touching them.
Sometimes she saw bandits roam-
ing only three hundred yards
from her front door as she did

A Durham woman did not be-
come a bride until she was sixty-
four, Why? Because although
the sweetheart of her early wo-
manhood wanted to marry her
when she was in her twenties,
she was determined to keep a
promise to her dying mother -
that she would care for and stay
with her ailing father.
Through the long years she
waited, corresponding with the
man who loved her, who had
gone to seek his fortune in Cana-
da. Then,after nearlyforty years,
her father died and she marrie
her seventy -two-year-old lover,
They talk at a Midlands rail-

Giving Father
Time !A Shock
A few weeks ago, her Majesty's
Telegraph Ship Monarch set out
front London, loaded with 1,450
miles .of submarine cable, This
will be joined to the 800 miles
laid last summer, and will com-
plete the renewal of the cable;
maintained by Cable and Wire -
'less Ltd., between Porthctu'no,
near Land's End, and Newfound-
land
The old cable was laid in 1874
and went out of use in 1943. It
is estimated •that the renewal
operation . will cost $10,000,000,
and that it will enable cable
traffic on this route to be in-
creased by 70 per cent.
The 8,050 -ton "Monarch" is
the largest and most up-to-date
cable ship in the world.She can
carry up to 2,500 nautical miles
of cable in her four cylindrical
tanks, which have a total cap-
acity of 125,000 cubic feet,
Cable ships must remain at
sea for long periods and hence
carry'enormous amounts of fuel,
stores and water. Five thousand
tons of cable, 2,000 tons of fuel,
and 1,000 tons of w a ter- may
easily be disposed of "on voy-
age," so that special arrange-
ments are made to maintain the
stability of the unloaded ships.
Most cable » ships are .sm-"all,
' about 1,500 tons. They are readi-
ly manoeuvrable in restricted
waters and can steam as little as
one knot when required. Much
of their time is spent in repair-
ing damaged cables.
They are officially entitled H.M.
Telegraphic Ships, and fly the
Blue Ensign with their own
crest.
This crest depicts Fath',.

His face bears a look of aston-
ishment,
stonishment, a symbol of his surprise

"Ne Tentes aut Perfice, means
roughly, "Attempt not or accom-

"Is there a young man belong-

She found her man - over forty

were married last year.
between St, Margarets Bay, near
Dover, and Sangatte on the
European coast,
,Another was laid between 7Sent
and Belgium in 1853, by the
collier "William Hutt." It cov.,
ored seventy miles, and the
cable, which weighed 500 tons,
needed three days to be coiled
into the ship,
Shortly afterwards, a cable to
Ireland was laid, and In 1361
the first Atlantic able was paid
out by the 20,000 tons "Great
Eastern," which had failed as a
passenger liner!
Great difficulties were encoun-
tered in the laying, so that in
