At that time MT. Brainard. at the request of the United States consul, shortly after recover ing from an attack of neurttis, walked on foot over 15O miles through tractless land, from Bonne Bay, New foundland to point near Ferrole Point, Newfoundland. This took place in the middle of winter. In addition to his honorable discharge. MT. Brain AAASSAsSA continuous service certificate in the Fleet Naval Reserve.

ORIGIN OF HALLOWEEN

y Hallow 'en as used by Robert Burns
is changed word derived from the
word Hallow-eve. Hallow-eve was first
conceived when the Pantheon of Rome
became place of worship for the
Christians and was dedicated to the Vir-
gin of all Martyrs. 1t was first cele-
brated on May /, but the date was
subsequently changed to November /,
and under the designation of feast of
All Saints. This evening was set apart
as general commemoration to their
honor and as such was retained by the
Anglican and American Episcopal
churches.
But the Hallowe zen we so riotous-
ly celebrate has nothing churchie
about at and seems to be a relic of
Pagan times combined with medieval
superstitions. 1t was regarded as the
time of all others when supernatural
influences prevailed and as night
which was set apart for the universal
walking abroad of spirits both of the
visible and invisible world.
From this tradition we get our ghost
costumes, pumpkin head lanterns and
| other scary things of our Hallowe ZEN
parties
On this evening it was believed that
the human spirit could detatch itself
from the human body and wander
abroad. In the south of England the
same evening is designated as " Nut
Cracking Night and is spent in crack.
| ing and eating nuts. The nuts form a
large part in the love affairs of the
evening and much sport is derived from
the games played. The ducking also is
great sport, apples are put afloat in a
tub of water and the guests are requir-
ed to eat the apples without taking them
| out of the water.
| 1t is from these varied sources that
we get our games, jokes and super
natural beliefs that afford US so much
pleasure on Hallowe 'en.

BACHELORS WITH DEPENDENTS

Des Moines Capital: There is com
fort for the bachelor in the wording of
the new income tax section of the war
revenue bill.
The question is often put to the gov
eminent collectors of internal revenue
whether man who is head of family,
but unmarried, can have the $1,000 eN-
emption The income exemption for a
single man is $1,000.
The law uses the term head OF a
family In the amendment as passed
by congress the law reads, - II the per
son making the return be a head of a
family or a married man with wife
living with him..
Later on in the same section, IN re-
ferring to the fact that there shall be
5000 additional exemption for each child
dependent upon such person, the term
1'head of family is again used.
This is manifestly far provision.
There are many men performing the
duties of household head who are not
married. They are under heavy expense
in taking care of parents or relatives,
The government has wisely placed them
in the same category with men VINO
have wives dependent upon them.
