Miss Edna Detwilor spent few dnys this week nt the home of her Henry Detwiler, in On January 17th occurs the 22Gth anniversary of a great American who should not be forgotten amid the nation's tribute to George Washington this year; for this noted American was not only a glory to our history but without him Washington mgiht not have been able to achieve our independence. This great American was Benjamin Franklin, who became, next to George Washington, the best known American of the 13th century. Wherever enlightened men gathered during Franklin's lifetime, they accounted him foremost in philosophy, politics and diplomacy, and to this day his name, is secure in history ns that of pioneer in science.

Franklin was one of the most versatile men of our history. His clear thinking nnd good common sense won him fjime everywhere. As for his winning personality, it proved a tremendous asset to the American cause. The final victories of Washington on the Imttlcfiulil would never have been possible but for Franklin's skill in the field of diplomacy and his ultimate winning of the French nation to America's side. Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston, on January 17, 170G, the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission reminds us.

His father wanted him to learn the trade of candle-making, an occupation that he disliked so much that he threatened to revolt. To forestall his running nway to sea, the boy Franklin was apprenticed to his half-brother, James, a printer; and here Franklin's rapid self-education got its start. In his brother's shop he met intelligent people, he eagerly read the best books, nnd he soon tried his hand nt writing for his brother's newspaper called the "first sensational sheet in America." Quarreling with his brother, Franklin set out for Philadelphia at the age of 17, to make his own way. There ic soon cnught the attention of Governor Keith at whose suggestion he went to London. There, in spite of many hardships, he soon obtained employment and his agreeable personality brought him many influential friends.

One of them, a Quaker merchant named Denham, offered Frankin a job in store that he planned to open in Philadelphia. Within a short time Denham died and Frankliin was without a job, but his next step was important. With Hugh Meredith he established printing shop in Philadelphia and in years ho had made it the most important business of its kind in the country. Next he bought the Pennsylvania Gazette, which" soon gained i circulation of 10,000 and became one if the outstanding papers of the time, this paper he began those pithy maxims to be gathered under the title of "Poor Richard's Almanac," which ives today in lasting fame. Meanwhile Franklin's interest and activities had broadened in every direction.

He founded the American Philosophical Society, organized the irst fire company in Philadelphia, and iccnnie the city's postmaster and clerk of the Pennsylvania Assembly. His nterest in science also developed, and he invented a stove and began those experiments in electricity which have made his name a household word in scientific world. Every schoolboy knows the story of Franklin's suspicion that the light- ningbolt was simply a larger specimen of the spark he drew from a Lcyden jar. He proved the likeness with his Historic experiment of the kite and the tccy during thunderstorm. The invention of the lightning-rod soon followed.

Franklin's diplomatic feats moke too long a list for a newspaper col-; umn, but it was he who first sought to bind the Colonies together in union. He performed many saving services for the Colonies before the Revolution, nnd during that struggle his influence in France provided the factor that turned the Revolution to victory for America. Even nt 81, Franklin's deeds for his country were not yet ended, for in 1787 he performed the culminating service of his long and great career with the fitting act of becoming a member of the Convention that wrote the Constitution. Throughout his life he was a devoted admirer of George Washington, and the friendship of these two men is one of the fairest pages in early American history. On his death, on April 17, 1700, Franklin willed his cane to Washington, with the famous words: "My fine crab-tree walking stick, with a gold head curiously wrought in the form of a cap of liberty, I give to my friend and the friend of mankind, General Washington.

Youthful Callers Serenaded With Overripe Eggs It all began when a Dcnton youth was "rotten egged" out of Greensboro during a call on a young lady, and the status quo today is one casualty and a police search for thirteen Greensboro youths. Mrs. Clifton Morris, wife of the baililT of Greensboro, unfortunately was the casualty. She stepped into the line of fire Wednesday night and got hit by an overripe egg, reported to have been hurled in a conflict between the Denton youth and a Greensboro youth. Sheriff Guerncy Tarbutton, of Caroline county, arrested three Greensboro youths, and Mrs.

Morris' husband swore out warrants for thirteen others. The trio arrested were Robert Riddleberger, Thomas Clark and James Holland. On the night of January 5, so the story goes, a certain Denton swain motored to Greensboro to call on a young lady. The youth of Greensboro resented the invasion, and "rotten gged" the invader out of town. The visitor returned, his automobile plastered with aged omelet, and the aroused youth of Denton laid an am- uscade for the youth of Greensboro ast Sunday night.

Sheriff Tarbutton locked up a jail, ul of Dentonians, but their parents lescended upon him and forced their clcase. A few nights later five young women from Denton, while visiting ireensboro, beat a hasty retreat under a barrage of decidedly ancient eggs. Wednesday night come the climax-a pitched battle between Greensboro on he defensive and a thoroughly aroused army of Denton invaders. 3ggs--forty-two dozen of them--were eported hurled. At the height of the fray Mrs.

Moris stepped out in her front yard and topped one of the evil-odored mis- ives with her shoulder. Magistrate Henry R. Lewis set a tearing for Monday in his office here, rovided the thirteen Greensboron- ans are apprehended by that time. What and Where and Why Dr. R.
