this means to interest many thous- ands of people in the purchase of war certificates for use as holiday gifts.
 Nothing can be said in favor of buy ing either extravagantly or uselessly. Much may be urged in favor of lend ing the Government money for prose- cution of the war and taking, as eyi. dence of the loan, certificates that will bring their owners interest.
 This should not mean taking any of the joy out of Christmas Christmas is childrens holiday; they should not be deprived of the pleasure it brings them. But the wastage of holiday buying and giving may well be curtailed at a time like the present throughout the world d.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

BRIDES AND OLD SHOES

The idea of luck is generally asso- ciated with an old shoe. The popular superstition today is connected only with weddings. There is differing opinion among authorities as to the origin of the superstition. In Anglo Saxon marriages the brides father gave shoe to the bridegroom, who touched her on the head with it in token of his authority.
 It is said that the saoe had to do with ancient ceremonies or rites in connection with transferring property. If this is so, then it can readily be seen how it came to be used in connection with marriages, for women were re- garded as property. In this light there are few brides who would thank you for sending a shoe after their we'd ding carriage.
