Kansas coal miners who went on

The miners told the attorney-general
that it was blue Monday" and they

did. If everyone stopped work when
he didn't feel like work, what gay

RUBY IS JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated THROUGH the
centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint SuperstitionA

The ruby Is the birthstone of July.
It was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed or on the pub
lie 1t Is dificult to imagine. The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith In them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than It Is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that II q ruby were worn about the
neck 1t conferred the power Of seeing
In the dark. One wonders what mOnup
mental faker started this absurd con
ceit and for what purpose. It was gem
orally believed, however. possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed to be q
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. By the deepening
of It's color 1t fOrewarned It's wearer
against impending misfortune. If tied
upon the forehead in a linen cloth it
was believed to be a specific for die
ease Of the eye.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Long-distance flights by birdmen

Monitor. Recent proofs Of their endur-

port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
~ from hangers in England to tenn
pOrary homes in South Africa. These
birds were ringed as nestlings and
found by a happy chance at the other
end of the world. One nesting ringed
In Lancashire, was found in Cape
Province in February of the next year !;
another, ringed in Ayrshire, was re-
ported next March In Orange Free
State; another, ringed in Yorkshire,
was recovered In East Griqualand the
following February /; a fourth swallow.
this time an adult, ringed in Stafford
shire. was recovered in Natal 10
months a%fterward; the fifth bird,
ringed on June !, 1919 In Stirlingshire,
was found In February. 1920, at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated
by J.. H. Whitherby, editor Of British
Birds.

that highways are inadequate "a
now constructed, said Mr.. Brush.
Even our most substantial roads
showed the effects Of this additional
traffic and the more cheaply built
tho~roughfares began to deteriorate
rapidly. in fact so fast that it was
necessary for highway officials to ex-
ercise their rights under the state
laws and limit the weight of loads.
The highways we have been build
ing In recent years, ven the perma.
nent types, are not heavy enough to
carry the ever increasing commercial
traffic. Engineers realize 10Y that
the roads must be considerably thick
er than at present and that they must
be wider to give room for the addi-
tional vehicles being placed in service.
Another phase Of the commercial
traffic problem is that Of tire equip
ment. 1t is going to be necessary to
equip all trucks with pneumatics
eventually in order that the highways
may be protected as much as possible.
The pneumatic tire gets away from
the constant pounding that is evident
with solid tires. They absorb the
shock, no matter how minute, and
thereby save the pavement from the
pounding OF the heavy load and give
longer life to the mechanism OF the
vehicle.
Experience is the only teacher and
experience has shown to all the big
road engineers Of the country the fol
ly OF building a good road too light.
The surfaces must be thicker in order
to stand the shock Of the heavy loads
passing over them.
