many strange ceremonies before his
parents feel at all assured of his flu
ture. .,:
The finger nail myth is much re-
cially in Greece, where the natives are
not only light fingered, but adept as
well in the art of dissecting luggage
and picking locks. The belief is that

are permitted to grow long and rag

about, scratch the face of the demon

will fly away and SO not possess him
self of the infants soul.
So deep-seated is the belief in evil
that even at the solemn ceremony of
the Greek baptism, the priest and the
godmother exercise the demons by
blowing their breath in the form of a
cross over the baby and also about
the room and at the doors and the
windows to prevent the further en-
trance of wicked spirits during the
ceremony.
The sacred oil with which the baby
is anointed at baptism must not be
washed off until after forty days have
elasped. This is vigorously observed,
especially among the peasants. and
the baby at the end of the allotted
time has the appearance of a little
coal HEAVIER. SO thickly is he coated
with dust and oil
Many are the queer remedies APP
piled to the baby when he is i'll. The
workings of the medicine man of our
American Indians is not more fam
tastic.
A bed of cold cinders is very gem
orally used as last resort. When the
baby is almost beyond hope the cradle
is filled with old ashes and the tiny
tot is buried in them. The nurse who
told me this was never able to dis
cover what the benefit to be derived
was supposed to be. Had the ashes
been warm we would have explained
custom as a primitive form Of Great

Against all this the welfare worker
in Greece has had to struggle. Not
only has she had to fight the hoary,
moss-grown wisdom of the ages. but
the Greek desire of something for
nothing. The popular idea of a dis

the matter ends. The aims of the
American Red Cross are very different
