BELIEF CONCERNING MOON

It is bad luck to point at the moon.
 If one horn of the new moon Is hid den. 1t Is a sign of a storm.
 A Chinese belief Is that there Is frog in the moon and it is worshiped.
 Crops planted on the increase of the moon will flourish, according to moon lore.
 Lie on your back and look at the moon; make wish, 1t will come true soon.
 To see the reflection of the moon in we'll or body of water of any kind means good luck.
 In some countries 1t is popular to courtesy to the moon twelve times and then make the wish.
 To see a full moon forming the back ground of a church steeple, you VIII hear of friends marriage.
 Almost as popular superstition as throwing salt over the shoulder Is a wish on a new moon.
 To the Danes is attributed the fancy that the moon Is made of cheese made from the milk of the milky way.
 If you see new moon first through a window pane, turn over coin in your pocket to break the Ill luck.
 Cutting and singeing hair at differ ent periods of the moon is still a pop ular habit. although nonsuperstitious folk sanely protest 1t is the regularity of the clipping and singeing that has the effect.

THE PRICE OF A CHILD'S
 LIFE

IT r you saw a child dying in the ! u street would you give ten dol lars to save its life?
 There is not one child, but three and q half million, in Central Europe who are starving, who must die un- less America helps them.
 It is estimated that they can be tsded over to the next harvest time by Snoney and service equal to about thirty dollars for each child. Two thirds of this can pe furnished by the affected countries. The other, and the vital, third they must look elsewhere for and it is to America that they are looking.
 Ten dollars IS therefore the price of a child's life in Central Europe this winter. That amount. contributed through responsible channels which have been provided to handle thi: money, will save one child; a hun. dred dollars will save a group of ten
 Such a condition, which would touch our sympathy at any time doe! moro than ever at UnlS season WnlC[ is the children's own. President Will son, in addition to calling attenrlor to the need, has set an example b, giving two hundred dollars which vii place twenty little lives to his credit
 In his appeal for funds, the Presi dent said: "I Suggest to my fellov countrymen that the circles arount their Christmas trees will be incom plete unless, mingled With their owl cxpectant children, they shall visual ize some of the waifs of Central Eur ope stretching out their thin hands t pluck from the boughs of the treel not toys, but bread, without whic they must perish"
 Which do you prefer to help ir crease in Europe this winter, live or graves?

THE GAS CONSUMERS
 METER CHARGE
NICE nearly everybody u

~ NICE nearly everybody uses O gas, either for fuel or lighting or both, the litigation in process before the public utilities commission, is of wide interest. The company has imposed a monthly meter charge of 50 cents. a total of s6 a. year. which is to be paid by the consumer, over, and above the amount that he pays for the gas. An organization called the Consumers League, hastily formed to meet the emergency, is in charge of the case. It is represented by able counsel
 The complainants, apparently, are relying upon the proposition that the service charge is unfair, inequit- able, discriminatory, and unjust. They have not attacked the new price as representing, together with the charge for gas, a rate that is excessive, and which. thererore. ought to be reduced.
 They simply say that the increase should take the form of an addition to the price of gas and not the form of a charge for service. The smaller users of gas apparently feel very strongly upon this matter. Hundreds of them have joined the Consumers League and they are putting up a good fight.

Rep. Small Calls
 Off His Contract
Refuses to Send Carolina Farmer Any More
 Clothing

Washington. N C., Dec. 16-For many years Representative Small Of North Carolina has by agreement been presenting to R. c. Bland, Carolina farmer and one of his con stituents, new suit of clothes for each additional child in his family. Having presented thirteen suts, ana ana being recently notified to send the fourteenth, Representative Small has informed Bland that the contract will be off with MT. SmalPs retire ment from Congress on March 5. Small and Bland made their com pact a number of years ago when Small was making a campaign speech at Robersonville, near here. Bland then, had twenty children. he now has thirty-four.
 Twenty-six of the twenty-fc ur Bland children are living, and the present Mrs. Bland, Bland's second wife, is the mother of nineteen, nine | of whom were born during the last ten wears including one set of twins. Eighteen children still live at nome,
 but Mrs. Bland declares she gets | lonesome sometimes because so many | have gone away.
 l MT. and Mrs. Bland recently had a group photograph taken of the fam | fly still remaining on the Bland farm l While the photographer was WorK1ns
 a buzzard cast its shadow on the l ground. Bland was asked If he was superstitious.
 l ''No," he said, I'm not afraid of
 buzzards, but at first I thought the 1 blame thing was stork."
 In calling the children together fo1 the photograph, Bland simply cupped his hands and in stentorian voice
 cried: Children" Results were | immediate. Children appeared from
 all directions. Some of the children l were grown men and women; other:
 were barely able to toddle forth, and one still was being carried in arms
 Bland says it ;s no more trouble to bring up fifty children than it i: to raise ten.
 After you pass ten" he says, 'the older ones are a big help.
 The children were not unusually noisy, Bland said, although "the5 made considerable racket when four teen were taken down together witf

THE OTHER SIDE

The Gas Light company asserts that the price of coal and oil have increased so rapidly as to make it necessary to obtain more revenue for the company. They can obtain this revenue by increasing the price of gas, or by making a service charge of 50 cents month. They which show they claim, that the company is making less than five per cent. on it's investment. Hence, they claim, the rate is not excessive. The difference between the company ana the Consumers League, the, claim. is really a difference between two classes of consumers, those who con- sumo S3 worth of gas or less per month, and those who consume more
 In 1914 the Gas company rates were challenged in a litigation which had the support of The Times. The property was valued, system ot Bookkeeping was ordered, depre- citation was established, and it wa. declared by the Public Utilities Com mission that the company would b, entitled to return of about six pe cent. upon its investment.
 The Public Utilities commission al ready has passed upon the validity O a charge for service, sustaining it il the so-called Hartford case. The pc titioners will find this Hartford prec edent serious obstacle in the wa of the relief which they seek.
