II is found that there is a very def
mite connection between the coat color
OF horses and the frequency with
which white markings occur. Thus
the latter are by far the most com
monty associated with the chestnut
color. And not only are they the most
prevalent in chestnut horses. but it is
also. of course, a Well-knoWn fact that
the markings are apt 10 be more on

THE commonest charms among the

made of aluminium and copper frag.

cred that If you wear piece of an

tic emblems. and may be seen by thou
sands in the streets and markets Of

What the Germans Wear.
II have number of examples OF
German charms. some of which were
taken from German prisoners. while
others were collected by myself in Ger
many about IL years ago. They are
Of a character you might expect from
such people. and consist largely of
pigs. many of which, | regret to say,
are grossly vulgar and offensive An
other German charm is a small model of

Safety in storms | gathered from
several of my friends that the charms

generally small objects, such as have

to the wearers by their mothers or sis

any definite logical meaning.

STUDYING NIGHTS

When the Cardinals were do.
ing their spring training Branch
Hickey noticed that Austin Nc
Henry, in stealing n base. was
prone to 60 into the bag with
the wrong foot. and thus slide
three feet further than necos-
Snry. Calling Mclicnry to him
Hickey asked: austin. what Is
the first rule of plane geome-
try?' 81 don't know nothing
about geometry, sir" was the
reply.
"Well, then, I'll tell you" re-
joined Hickey. at Is that the
shortest distance between two
points muy he accomplished by
a straight line. You ignore that
rule in sliding to bases ana
travel an excess distance of
three feet on every slide, so that
when you have stolen 30 bases
you really will have stolen 81,
though you won't get credit for
the extra base. Just apply a
little geometry to your base
stenling and You will get better
results with less effort"
'Ycs, sir" answered McIIenry,
too da2ch to say anything else.
