MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE PIN
Superstition q All Kinds Has Been

hold Implement.

During the reign of James l., the
metal pins came into fashion. In 1877
machine for producing entire pins
was invented by an American, Seth
Hunt, but it remained for Samuel
Wright, Of Massachusetts, to patent
in 1924 the wonderful pin-making ma
chine which is generally used today.
A certain amount Of witchery and
romance has always been associated
with the humble pin. In olden times
1t was regarded as a charm against
and also as an implement of witch
craft Witches were supposed to force
their victims to swallow pins, while,
on the other hand. pins stuck in the
heart of an animal and carefully pre-
served were considered the appro,
pirate antidote to evil influences. In
Wales there existed a grim supersti-
ton that toad pierced with pins
would cause the life of an enemy to
wither as the poor creature itself slow
ly died. In Russia it is considered
unlucky to meet a priest on leaving
house-a state of affairs which can
only be remedied by throwing pin
at him; and in Iceland If man is sus-
pected of walking after death, pins
and needles are thrust into the feet
OF the corpse.
Readers Of Romance will remember
how people were believed to be be.

BIG FACTOR IN INCUBATION
Lack of Ventilation Given as Cause
for Many Failures In ArtificIaIIy
Hatehed Eggs.

The question of the cause or causes
OF the lower Matching percentage that
commonly characterizes artificial in
cubation when compared with results
obtained when eggs are set under
hens is a matter about which there
is considerable conjecture, but little
definite knowledge. In connection with
various theories that have been adj
vanced and several experiments that
have been made, 1t Is perhaps sug-
gestive that investigators have re-
Gently inclined to the opinion that UNI
satisfactory results are probably due
in greater measure than is generally
supposed to an excess of ventilation.
Several authorities are mentioned
in support Of the statement that
there is a larger amount OF carbon d.
oxide IN the air surrounding the
eggs that are naturally Matched than
in well ventilated incubator, and the
question is raised as to whether and
to what extent it may be an essential
factor In incubation.

DAYTON Has Had Six Floods.

Dayton, o., has stood in the shadow
Of disaster from food ever since its
foundation. No less than six times
previous to the present inundation
have the rivers which flow through 1t

brought death and destruction of prop

floods occurred in 1906, the very year

others In the years 1847. 1863, 1856

Effect Of Animal Husbandry.

Live stock make 1t necessary to
diversity crops and grow more crops
upon which there is wider margin
OF profit. Animals also distribute la
Dor, furnish employment in time Of
bad weather, or when field work Is
not possible. Animal husbandry is the
logical way to insure soil improve
ment. as the increased fertility from
manure is often sufficient to justify
raising animals.

Farmers and small poultrymen who

TWICE NEBDE0, BUT
 MAY NOT BE WIFE

Chicago. May 2.--A situation unique ill the courts of Illinois and puZZling to the lawyers in volNed, arose yesterday in Judge Petit's court.
 Recently William NJ. Marshall, known socially and as an exhibit or of blooded horses, sued his wife, Blanche T. Marshall. for di- vorcc. Mrs. Marshall married the plaintiff six days after her di- vorcd from Robert M. Mullens, her first husband. The suit had been in hearing for two days, when yesterday Judge Petit sud- denly threw the case out, assert- ing that the marriage of the Mar shalls under the law prohibiting remarriage within a year of di- vorced persons was illegal. This ruling neprived the 3-year-old child of the litigants of legal par entage.
 Leslie II. Whipp, the attorney i for Mrs. Marshall, declared in court that Mrs. Marshall was on ly l5 years of age when she ran away to st. Louis and married Mullens without the consent of her parents. He asserted that her marriage to Mullens, there fore, was illegal, in which case her marriage to Marshall was lperfcctly legitimate.
