Friday, December 16, 1932 THE IRONWOOD TIMES THREE Regi in Ocean.Is Called the "Doldrums" When a person Is suffering from low spirits or mental depression he is said to be in the doldinml. The phrase Is synonymous with "in the dumps." "Doldrums" is an old English word of uncertain derivation. Some authorities suppose It to be related In origin to "dull" and "dolt" "The doldrums" is the popular name for a shifting oceanic zone lying near the equator between the trade winds and noted for its calms and light, baffling winds, which In the old days sometimes prevented all progress of sailing vessels for weeks. In that region the sky is overcast much of the time, the atmosphere is hot, humid and oppressive, and the frequent rains are generally accompanied by thunderstorms. The trade winds are northeasterly in the northern hemisphere and southeasterly in the southern.

The southeast trade wind blows over an area extending from the equator to 25 degrees south, while the northeast trade extends from about 10 degrees to 30 degrees north. The equatorial belt -of low pressure between these two winds Is the region known as the doldrums. Thus It will be seen that -the true doldrums extend from the equator to about 10 degrees north and do not Include any part of the southern hemisphere. There Is, however, a corresponding low pressure belt south of the equator in the Pacific. The doldrums are a seasonal shifting from slightly north of the equator In the northern winter, and slightly further north In the northern summer.

The trade winds blow a regular trade or course toward the thermal equator, roughly 30 degrees north and' 30 degrees south, but they are deflected to northeast and to southeast, respectively, by the rotation of the earth. Why Demure Expression Is Cause of Ridicule To look "As if butter would not melt In one's mouth," Is said usually contemptuously of persons of excessively demure appearance. The earliest record we have of the saying Is Its use by VV. Palsgrave in 1530: "Ho maketh as though butter wolde not melte In his raouthe." And again in 1552, Bishop Lntimer said In a sermon on the Lord's Prayer: "These fellows can -speak so finely that a man would think butter should scant melt in (heir mouths." John Heywood, who flourished about wrote: "She look- eth as If butter would not melt in her while Dean Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), wrote In his "Essay on Polite "She looks as if butter wouldn't melt In her Why "Chapel." In England the word chapel was applied to a printing office, also to a meeting or association of Journeymen of a printing office for'promoting and enforcing order among themselves and for settling disputes. These meet- Ings were presided over by a "father of the chapel." The term is said to have originated in the fact that print- Ing was first carried on In England by Caxton in a chapel attached to or near Westminster abbey.

It was customary at that time to do the work of printing In chapels attached to abbeys. R. Holme, In 1688, said: "Every printing house is termed a chappel." Why Left Uninsured The Capitol, White House and other federal buildings are not insured because the government owns so many buildings that It has about the same advantages as a lire insurance company would have In that respect. Most of the public buildings are more or Jess fireproof and the government finds It less expensive to appropriate money for replacements when needed rather than to make the payments on insurance policies. Why the Jog in Boundary It was intended that the twenty-seventh meridian west from Washington should form the western boundary of the Dakotas and the northern part of Nebraska, but the line was determined from a point in the north and one In the south, and It was found that there was a total error of nearly a mile, with the result that there is a jog In the line.

If We Only Could! WHY CftNT I UP HERE 1 TH' TIME? con I Many Take Advantage of Severance Tax Law Reduction by the 1931 legislature of the severance tax on lands listed under the Timberland Tax Law has resulted in renewed activity in the listing of lands as provided by the so-called Pearson Act, according to the Lands Division of the Department of Conservation. Under the Timberland Tax Law, owners of land bearing timber growth capable of developing Into merchantable stands may have the land removed from the general property tax roll and' place it subject instead to a specific tax of ten cents per acre per year. In addition to this tax a severance- tax of 10 percent of the stumpage value is levied whenever any timber is cut. In administering this act, the Lands Division must examine and accept the land for listing, hold public hearings on eligibility, determine stumpage rates and collect the severance tax. The last session of the legislature reduced the severance tax from 25 percent to 10 percent and this re suited In a greatly increased demand for listings under the law.

Since the' amended law went into effect, applications for listing of 104,181 acres 'have been made and 30,568 acres have been accepted. With the 30,568 acres recently added, there are now 89,437 acres in the state listed under the law. southern peninsula and the Cusino and Escanaba River Tract in the upper peninsula, indicating public hunting ground areas to hunters. December 9 December 30 Stockholders' Meeting The annual meeting- of the stockholders of The Gogebic National Bank of Ironwood, Michigan, will be held in the banking rooms of said bank between the hours of 10 a. m.

and 4 p. Tuesday, January 10, 1933, for the election of directors and the transaction of any -business that may legitimately come before the meeting. R. M. SKINNER, December 7, 1932 Cashier, December 16 TAX December 30 NOTICE Whr Bullet "Wabblei" The Department of "War says bullet wabbles because no bullet has been made, or can be made, to be perfectly balanced about the axis of spin.

Further, In shooting a bullet from a rifle, there Is always some of the axis of spin from the axis of the bore. Still further, the bullet is a gyroscope and acts like one. Why Portrait Unfinished The tradition is that the head of Gilbert Stuart's atheneum portrait of Washington was left unfinished In order that the painter might retain It In his studio as a nest egg from which to make copies. After his death it was sold by his family for $1,500 and given to the Boston Atheneum. Why "Roman Holiday" The expression "to make a Roman holiday" refers to.

the custom of the Romans of" celebrating victories or other Important events by sports In the arena, which often resulted In many deaths and Involved much cruelty. Why Cup I. Called "Mug" In early days the drinking cup was often made in the form of a face, and was therefore called a mug, an old term for face. Smelt Runs Prove Profitable for Cities Each Spring The spring of 1933 will see Boyne City vying with Beulah on Crystal Lake for popularity during the annual 'smelt runs. Boyne City Is completing improvements at the mouth of the Boyne River 911 Lake Charlevoix In an effort to induce smelt to run up the river and to facilitate "dipping" during the spring run.

A channel has been constructed on either side of a sand bar at the mouth of the river. The Boyne City Progressive Club Is planning to install lights to aid smelt dippers next spring. Since smelt have become numerous in Lake Charlevoix large numbers of Boyne City residents have been taking advantage of an opportunity to earn a living by catching them, with hook and line. Smelt may be taken at any time of the year and in any size or quantity under present regulations, and they TO THE TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF IRONWOOD: The State, County and School Taxes are now ready for collection.

He was blind almost from birth and attended the instltlite for the blind at Paris, where he became a teacher in 1828. He was at this Institution when he formed the Idea of modifying Barbler's system of writing with points.

Since that time it has been adopted in most Continental schools and also in the United States. Satisfaction guaranteed with every Times' job.
