Tell Character of Child
BY Number of Days 1t Was
Born After the New Moon

There Is very ancient superstition
the approximate character of a child
by the number of days it was born
after the appearance of the new moon.
The following are the most important
indications:
If born within twenty-four hours
after new moon the child will live
to a good old age, and practically ev-
erything he undertakes in life will be
successful.
If born within two days after the
particularly in accidental things.
If upon the third day, this person
will achieve success, largely through
the help and assistance of others.
If upon the fourth day, the child
will not be so successful in life. and
may have several serious illnesses.
Born upon the fifth day, such per-
son will prove successful if care be
taken to start certain enterprises at
certain times.
The sixth is not a good day, as a
rule. Dreams are untruStworthy.
The seventh days child will have
many troubles but will conquer them
all.
On the eighth, success; dreams will
prove helpful and lost articles found.
Riches and honor await the child
born upon the ninth day.
The tenth day is unfavorable on the
whole, especially to boys.
A long, happy life to those born on
the eleventh day.
All dreams of the twelfth-day child
will prove true quickly.

Shoe Manufacture in China
Is Conducted by the Women

All China stays home on wet days.
Why? Because Chinese shoes are
made wholly of cloth, through which
the water readily runs; hence, to
keep dry feet, the Chinese stay in
doors when it rains. Chinese shoes
are made by women. Early in child
hood they learn the work, and hus-
band and father and sons are all shOd
by the work of the women of the
household. If the women can make
more shoes than their own men re-
quire, then they still make shoes-tO
be sold in the shops. The tiny shoes
of the housewife are made in the pri-
vacy of her own bedroom, not even
the husband watching her work. The
sides of the shoes are made Of new
cloth, anything from cheapest cotton
to richest velvet. Soles are made of
several thicknesses of cloth or paper
put together with paste, with new
cloth on the outside. The soles are
from a half inch to two inches thick.
The thickness of the sole is an evil
dence of the financial standing of the
wearer.

The advance which British arms mace
in the land of the Arab was important
in proportion, as the Germans regard

points just to where Asia Minor bends
down sharply to form the Syrian coast.
Napoleon noticed this more than 100
years ago and suggested that there lay
the key to any situation which would
involve that part of the world. Fol-
low the finger and it is significant that

"OId King Cole" of Nursery
Fame an Ancient Sovereign

The first reference to "Old King
Cole" the ''merry old soul' of the fam
Gus nursery rhyme, was made in a
book written by DR.. William King,
who was born in 1858. 1t is probable
that the song was composed in the
seventeenth century, although some
Investigators think it much older.
Halliwell Identifies the merry monarch
with Cole or Coel, a semi-mythical
king Of Britain, who is supposed to
have reigned in the third century.
The Scotch also have an "Old King
Coul," said to have lived in the fifth
century. Freeman and other histo-
rians say King Cole ruled Britain in
the sixth century. There are many
who assert that the reference to the
pipe indicates that Old King Cole
lived at a period after Raleigh had in
troduced tobacco into Europe, but this
does not necessarily follow. as a
''pipe" might mean a musical instru-
ment.

CHICKEN HOUSE
NEEDS VENTILATION

Good ventilation in the chicken
house is essential to success in the
poultry business, according to Ross M.
Sherwood, poultry husbandry special
list in the extension division of the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
1.-THE two methods most commonly
used are the open-frunt house and the
curtain-front house." said Mr.. Sher-
wood. "The open front provides the
most fresh air and is giving excellent
results in some sections, but many
persons find it desirable to have cur
tains that may be placed over most of
the openings during bad weather. 1t
has been found that house closed on
three sides and tightly curtafned on
the south does not provide enough
fresh air. To remedy this, a narrow
opening is often made just under the
rafters. This causes a freer circula-
ton of air than is possible with all
the opening curtained, and yet does not
allow the wind to blow ON the fowls"
The large curtained openings should

in order that the wind may not sweep
in directly upon the flock.
During the summer months openings
on the other sides Of the building are
necessary to make it cool enough that
the fowls will roost there. These open
ings should be so located that the birds
will not be in q direct draft during the
night. These extra openings should be
closed tightly in winter.

Why the Barber Pole Is
Painted Red and White

The barber pole is a souvenir of the
days when all kinds of business were
represented by pictorial signs, largely
because ability to read was not gen.
eral. An explanation of the barber
pole is that it comes from the time
when barbering was done by surgeons
or physicians and when the practice
of bleeding for all kinds Of illness pre-
vailed. The barber stripes, according
to this explanation, picture the blood
stain on white cloth so frequently to
be observed after taking the bleeding
treatment. The barber pole has moth
ing to do with national colOrs.
