HOW THE WHIP BUSINESS
BEGAN IN BAY STATE

An odd BEGINNING of an Industrial
center is recorded by Prof. Malcolm
Weir of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, who has been making IA study
of the tendency of industries, like
birds of a feather. 90 flock together
The explanation is usually practical,
and derives from the character of the
industry itself.
In this particular instance. howev-
er. about two-thirds of the whips
used by teamsters in the United
States are nowadays made in West
field. Mass, apparently because, once
upon a time a Westfield farmer was
annoyed by the number of other
farmers who stopped their teams in
front of his willow hedge, climbed
down and broke off a whip. So, as
the story goes, he cut the willows
himself, made them into whips and
offered them for sale.
The experiment was so successful
that 1t started a whip business in
that neighborhood and there the in
dustry centralized until eventually
it was supplying whips to farmers
and others all over the United States.

Insurance against it will yet be worked
out. Whether, In the United States,
1t will be compulsory, statemanaged
the more that subject is agitated the
faster sickness loss will be reduced,
for agitation will direct attention to
public health, and means that are

Steady, intelligent public attention
Is what the whole problem of poverty
needs. There Is no doubt that
great part of 1t is preventable. The
poor, it is true, we have always with
us. Time was when we had always
had slavery and smallpox with US.
Now out of half million persons one
person dies annually of smallpox in
the United States. Time was when
slavery and smallpox were generally
taken as a matter Of course. AS soon
as they ceased being taken as mat
ter of course they were put into the
way of practically disappointment

sure-footed, predetermined effort.

FIRST TO WEAR FINGER RING
Legend Makes Prometheus the Pioneer
Of Custom That May Now Be
Called Universal.

The first finger ring is supposed
to have been worn by Prometheus,
who stole fire from heaven that man
might warm himself and cook his
food. This act so incensed Jupiter
that the king of gods condemned him
to be chained upon a rock where vul-
lures could constantly feast upon him.
The sentence was carried out, but
Prometheus was released. Then Jupiter
ordered that PrOmetheus wear a link
: of chain about his finger as remin-
der of the punishment. A fragment
of the rock to which he had been
chained was set In the ring so that
he might still be regarded as being
bound to the rock.
The custom of wearing an engage
ment or wedding ring upon the third
finger is due to an ancient belief that
a nerve or vein directly connected
this finger with the heart, according
to a writer in the Pittsburgh Dis
patch Macrobius said: Because of
this nerve the newly betrothed places
the ring on this finger of his be-
loved. as though 1t were representa-
ton of the heart. And just to show
that the practice is very old one,
Macrobius admitted having obtained
the facts from an Egyptian priest,
thus linking the belief with the dim
reaches of the past.

How RIrd EIIahts Are observed.

! In spite of their difficult and exact
ing task, few airmen have found op
portunity to observe and record the
height at which various migrating
birds are accustomed to fly. Thus
from French soldiers Of the air it is
! learned that swallows have been OBJ
! served to maintain an average alti
tude of 700 yards, and wild ducks one
of 1900 yards, and that green plovers
have been seen at height of 2,15(
yards. Incidentally 1t may be men
toned that the ducks were moving al
a speed of 651s miles an hour when
flying upward and so miles an hour
when flying horizontally. Another
aviator when flying at $500 feet saw
swallows high above him. And anoth
er, who made his observations at q

bombardment, with antiaircraft shells
bursting all about him, says that he

No man is ever criticized for having
pleasant, gentle manners; and you
don't have to be a six-foot Adonis to
have this faculty, either.
No man ever lost anything by being

you are slovenly about your person,
you usually become just so about your
business, and buyers know 1t.
Don't approach gentleman as If
you had known him all your life.
Don't stick out one hand and, with
the other, shove out cigar. Be mod

forcefully, and when you speak, say
something! Cab Is excess baggage.

Clock Tower of Jerusalem.

Since the occupation of the holy
city of Jerusalem by the British 1t
is gradually becoming more western
lied. For the first time in It's history
its streets are properly cleaned and
it has been given fire brigade ser
vice and now an efficient water-sup-
ply. Hitherto its inhabitants de-
pended upon lfew wells and water
collected in overhead ecisterns The
telephone, too, has been introduced.
Its most striking Improvement
though 1t is one that was carried out
just prior to the war-was the cree
ton of a fine clock tower at the Jaffa
gate. 1t is built of white stone obtained
from Solomon's quarries, Of which the
temple was constructed. The clock,
which was supplied by a London
matchmaker, shows both European and
Arabic time. Opposite the tower
drinking fountain has been erected,
and the roadway which leads through
the old walls into the city at this
point has been entirely rebuilt
