GLOOMY OLD FRONT PARLOR'
Mld-Victorlan Furnishings Served TO
Remind BehoIders Of Particularly
Solemn Mortuary chapels

The mansard sheltered the accumu-
lations of two or more Garland house
holds of mid Victorian tastes. 1t was a
debauch of black walnut and haircloth
in twilight of heavy lambrequlns and
large figured wall paper. Never in all
my twenty-five years had behed so
many marble-top tables gathered under
single roof. There were three in the
parlor alone. One bore Rogers
group-"Coming to the Parson," ii was
called; another stereoscOpe with
views Of the Yosemite and the CEN
tennal of 1876; the third served as
pedestal for case of pallid wax flow
ers. On the walls hung "oils" of noun
tain scenery which it would have
crazed geol0gist to classify.
"The sitting room across the wide
hall was even worse. 1t was bullied
by the ugly bulk of secretary with
vicious rams heads carved on its low
err doors. Second in massive gloom
was black marble mantlepiece
crowned by black marble clock with
limplng tick and an asthmatic chime.
Tables filled the spaces unclaimed by
hairclOth sofas and chairs, and what
not bestrode a corner. was now pre-.
pared to find The Maiden's Prayer

in best female academy style. There
was also bronze plaque Of Washing
ton Crossing the Delaware 1t was a
bad crossing. None of the pictures
were inspiring, but one at least was
appropriate. 1t portrayed the youthful
Victoria in her nightie receiving the
news that she was now queen of Great
Britain, defender of the faith and high
sponsor for art."-Woman's Home

RULES TO AVOID RESPIRATORY
DISEASES

l. Avoid needless crowding-influenz
is crowd disease.
2 Smother your cough and sneezes-
others do not want the germs which
you would throw away.
g. Your nose, not your mouth, was
made to breathe through-get the habit.
4 Remember the three C's-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean clothes.
5. Try to keep cool when you walk
and warm when you ride and sleep.
6. Open the windows-always at
home at night; at the Office when prac-
ticable
T. Food will win the war if you give
it chance-help by choosing and
chewing your food well.
s. Your fate may be in your own
hands-wash your hands before eating
9, Don't let the waste products of
digestion accumulate-drink a glass or
two of water on getting up.
10 Don't use a napkin, towel, spoon,
fork, glass, or cup which has been used
by another person and not washed.
II. Avoid tight clothes, tight shoes,
tight gloves-seek to make nature your
ally not your prisoner.
H. When the air is pure breathe all
of it you can-breathe deeply.

Old Church Deserted.

1t is interesting to note that in the
old Lebanon Presbyterian church, near
Alma, S. c., which church has gone
down, a good church organ was al
lowed to remain IN the church build
ing and rot.
1t has been very many years since
any services were held in the building,
which. in its day was one of the best
church buildings in this entire section.
The carpet still remains on the floor,
the old Bible is still on the stand and
the organ was never claimed by any
one. The building is almost rotten, the
doors having rotted and fallen down.

MADE BY SUN WORSHlPERS
Theory Advanced Concerning Aper.
lures In Walls Of the Casa orande
Ruin In Arizona.

According to a National Park news.
paper bulletin issued by the depart
ment Of the Interior there Is much
speculation and concern on the part of
tourists and psychologists over two
pairs of holes In the walls Of the Casa
Grande ruin In Arizona, The holes
are about an inch and half In diane
ter, and are bored through walls four
feet thick, They occur In pairs, each
pair on opposite sides Of great cen'
trail room. The holes in each pair are
In line with each other, 80 that one
standing In a dark first-noOr room he.
hind the center room may look through
the innermost holes at the sky, One
pair points due east, the other pair
points north ut declining angle.
One can only assume that the tribes
which built this most ancient OF pueb.
los were deeply religious people and
worshlpers of the sun. An interesting
theory was recently advanced TO ex.
plain the holes, II Ia said that these
holes form what might be called sea-
sonal clock, Twice a year, once as
the sun works north and once as II
works south along the eastern horizon,
II rises In line with the eastward
pointing holes and on one morning
possibly for three minutes, throws a
bnr Of lipht into the dark inner rooms
From this the ceremonial calendar
could be dated and certain festivals
would fall on the same day year after
year One is reminded of Stonehenge,
in England, where the sun at It's sum
mer solstice shone down long alley
Of stone monuments upon an altar
placed in the center of a series Of
circles Of stones.

Salutation Accorded Sneeze.

In France in earlier days, a sneeze
was greeted by the removal of the hat,
and when the paroXySm was over the
sneezer formally returned the salute
of all present. In England, also, in
the seventeenth century, sneeze was
saluted by the removal of the hat.
Joseph Hall, bishop of Exeter, in 1927,
wrote that man no longer reckoned
among his friends those who failed to
uncover when he sneezed. The SiameSe
have peculiar idea of their own that
the gods are continually turning over
the pages of the judgment book, and
that when they come to the page re-
lating to any particular person that
individual invariably sneezes. Their
salutation is, MAY the judgment be
favorable to you"

First Impressions.

Be careful that you do not make q
disagreeable impression on people at
your first meeting. If you are unsocial
at first acquaintance, and finally decide
that those people will repay in smiles
and politeness, you will have to exert
yourself more than a little to do away
with the first impression made by your
unresponsiveness. It will take many
months Of faithful work to counteract
in the mind Of your employer that first
unfortunate impression you made be.
fore you woke up to the fact that your
position held promises for the future.
First Impressions are tenacious. Do
your best to make them favorable.

hope came into his eyes. and he raven

In about an hours time, the chap

Opinions,

The New York World: Those who
like to study racial and nationalistic
strains in American citizenship will
find instruction in the casualty lists
now coming from General Pershing's
army in France. OF six soldiers men
toned in yesterdays report as killed
In action, three, and of two who died
or wounds, one, bore distinctive Teu-
tonic names.
As the war goes on we shall have
evidence more and more convincing
that the great mass OF so-calIed Ger
man-Amerlcans are as stoutIy SUP
porting righteous cause as any 9th
er element Of our population. There
would have been little question OF this
II a blatant Prussian propaganda had
not by boasts and falsehoods made
claims of detection which found con
nrmatton only in the misdeeds of a
comparatively few spies and mercen-
aries in its service.
Americans inclined to be unduly sus-
pictous and Prussian war lords
dreaming of a cultural CONQUEST of
the United States who want to know
what Americans of German descent
are doing in this war will learn on
inquiry that they are at the front,
elbow to elbow with their felloW-citi-
zens OF all other origins. Hyphens
may be found here and there in this
country, but in France the American
army Is American, and in no part OF
1t more so than that which on names
alone has been classified as German
American.
