question but that the presidential pri-

no one ever knew just how much
money was spent, where it was cir

about five cents per letter to issue

country some seventeen million male
voters. When the women have the
right to vote the total will reach about
thirty millions. 1t can easily be seen
that to issue one letter without photo

about 81 100000. All OF which would

In Canada, however tire situation

that the yield this year viii be even

Why Have Black Cats Been consid-

Why have black cats nearly always
been accounted lucky?
Ireland is by no means the only
place where superstitions about black
cats are or We're rife. In Egypt cats
were regarded with great reverence.
Archeoogists have found them in
tombs Of kings and princes.
Australians have curious legend
about cats. Mityaro, the moon. they
say, was a native cat who fell in love
with some one else's wife, and was
driven away to wander ever since. To
them a cat black, gray or white,
prophecies only bad luck
In Japan and China a black cat is
regarded as dangerous demon, often
possessing as many as rwo or three
sorked tails. and having the power to
change itself into ain old woman

on or walks over a corpse it win cause
the corpse TO rise up at once. Any per-
