A CURIOUS SURVIVAL

some other means? The most plausible theory seems to be that it Is 8 sur- vival of a superstition existing in many countries that any evil, such as the tooth ache, could be plugged up or confined by driving nail into a board. If the nail was withdrawn the evil would rush out and overwhelm the rash person who re- leased 1t. This explanation has some thing of an oriental flavor. Spirits found confined in bottles by fishermen of the Arabian Nights and ignorantly re- leased by them usually exacted their lives in return unless redeemed by some heroic service.
 Other researchers for whom the sub- ject has attractions have traced the cus- to religious observance of early pagans who drove nails into their idols to forcibly call their attention to prayers addressed to them Thus if a man had been robbed he drove nail into his special idol and the idol, enraged by the pain, would work vengeance not on the worshipper but on the thief who was the real au- thor of it. These may be good or bad guesseS at the origin of custom which at any rate offers the opportunity for in- teresting speculation.

Slow Recruiting

Unless the war department can find some way of recruiting for the regu- lar establishment at faster rate than recruiting proceeds now it would be two years or more before an army of 250,000, the number which the Senate bill calls for, could be filled up.
 Of the 10000 increase authorized by Congress month ago only about 5000 have been accepted by the re- cruiting officers for enlistment.
 One reason why enlistment is so slow, despite the fact that many emergency stations have been opened, is because of the high standard fixed for examinations. Uncle Sam endeav- ors to get only picked men. Another reason is because of the industrial and business prosperity prevailing in nearly all parts of the country. La bor is in demand and wages are high. Few men eligible for enlistment are unemployed.
 One of the amendments to the Sen ate army reorganization bill changes the term of enlistment from seven to five years-two years on active duty, with the colors, instead of four years as at present, and three years on fur tough without pay as part of the reserve corps. If this clause of the bill is retained it will help to expedite the work of recruiting; but if the department is in a great hurry for

From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star
 IN Berlin there has been erected huge
 wooden effigy, 40 feet high, of Gen. = eral Hindenburg which the pa triotic Berliners have driven so full of nails that at the latest account there is scarcely a place to be found for an- other. The nails are purchased at prices varying with the wealth and patriotism Of the purchaser and the money goes into the war relief funds. So popular has this method become of contributing to the re- lief of the wars sufferers, and at the same time paying tribute to the victor of the east that the people have stood in line to buy the nails and to get an opportunity to mount the scaffold and drive them in On a pleasant Sunday afternoon when the crowds are great in the park where the statue stands the sound of the hammers is an uninter- rupted refrain.
 No very clear explanation of this method of collecting funds has found it's way out of Germany, although there has been some learned discussion of it in England. Why should nails be driven into figure? Why not raise money by
