NEEDFIRE OLD FOLK CUSTOM
Part of the Ritual of Publication That
Has Survived in Scotland Until
Recently.

In folk custom, needfire is fire kin
died by friction of two sticks of wood
or of rope on q wooden stake to
ward off demons of disease. Among the
many customs and beliefs connected
with fire one of the most important is
that of ritual publication. The new
fire is supposed to regenerate, as fire
sacrifice is designed to sustain, the
invisible beings. Needfire is a prac-
tice, usually, of shepherd peoples to
ward off disease from the fiocks. In
historic times the sparks for kindling
the needfire were obtained by twirling
a wooden peg around a wooden post.
AS in the case of new fire, the need
fire was almost always accompanied
with the extinguishing of the fires of
the locality, and the neighbors also
rekindled their fires from it as in the
new fire ceremony. In practice, the
people passed, or the herds were driv-
en- through or between the flames Of
the needfire for publication. The need
fire custom survived in the highlands
Of Scotland until recent date, and
probably traces of this superstition
still exist in parts of Europe.

Briqand Met His Match.

A certain English financial journal,

follows:

You Can't Cure Rheumatism

The Obligations Of Italy.

/! The existing condition Of affairs at
Fiume, the hotbed Of Adriatic- dis
putes, cannot but raise in the minds
of. the most friendly observers grave
iquestion as to the good faith of the
Italian government in the matter. For
conditions have changed since the

took his Spectacular adventure of in.
surgency. The explanation then made,
, to the effect that the condition of af-
fairs at home made the obvious duty
of suppressing his activity imprac-
ticable, no longer applies. The Italian
| ministry, having recently concluded
a treaty with Jugoslavia recognized as
highly. favorable to Italy, is strongly
supported. Its duty is clear-cut.
r. By the terms of that treaty Italy
has undertaken to make of Fiume a
free city and to put an end to the
dramatic usurpation of d'Annunzio
and his followers. The treaty, in SO
far as the world at large knows, was
signed by the Italian government as
an agent responsible for its engage
ments and the acts of it's subjects, and
was in nowise subject to the assent
of visionary patriots. Yet d'Annunzio,
openly defiant, retains full control of
the city and forces, armed for the
service Of the Italian government. are
permitted to fail in their sworn duty.
The government Of Italy. proud Of
its prestige as formidable military
power, cannot well afford longer to
permit the continuance of this trav-
esty. Its engagements are before it
and the problem Of how to handle
d'Annunzio and his few thousands of
adherents definitely involves the
honor Of a nation ever jealous Of that
most precious asset.

slider what they say about increasing
the size and strength of the Navy
when taxes are mountain high and
disarmament is the cry? Z
When eminent sailors-such as
compose the general board of the
Navy-make the same recommenda-
ton. the millennialists accuse them
of selfish motives. They are figuring
on promotion and higher salaries. In
I crease the Navy to the size they de-
sire, and they will maneuver to give it
work to do. They want action, and
action will follow. A big Navy means
another war, and soon, with America
the provoker.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will
not permit the millennialists to in
f1uence it's naval legislation. We are
living in practical age, and practical
men should make practical provisions
for the present and the future. Taxes
are oppressively high, but would GER
tainly become infinitely higher if an
other war should catch us as unpre-
pared as the recent war did.

Stock Sales and Income Taxes.

Serious disturbance in the stock
market has occurred during the past
fortnight or SO, with steady ten.
dency toward "softening" prices and
an evident disposition to sell at al
most any rate. This has been at.
tributed to the fact that December Is
the final installment Of the income tax
is due and many individuals and cor
porations are now liquidating to get
cash with which to meet this require
ment.
If this is true the people who are
selling their securities are in effect
paying their income taxes out of their
savings and invested capital. and at a
loss. For in this stock movement there
have been material sacrifices and prob
ably many person who has depended
on this resource, In default of other
funds, has. in fact, been paying at d
double rate on the fourth and final in
stallment.
But this stock selling development
does not mean that the intrinsic val
ues of the securities thus cashed upon
in an emergency are lower than they
have been heretofore. The stocks and
bonds are as good as ever and the
properties on which they are based
are as substantially prosperous.
1t is always to be noted that when
aver there is downward or selling
movement in the market there are
buyers for all the offerings. Those
who buy expect prices to rise later,
else they would not buy. At no time
since these sales to secure cash began
has there been glut of securities on
the market. Which is sign that
public confidence in the real sound
ness Of our affairs is not weakening.

Why Redistribution Is Needed.

But the Civil Service Commission
knows in its broad view of the depart

unsystematic that service is in point
of relation between duties and COM
ences between bureaus in the matter
of identical lines Of work. It knows,
as perhaps the department officials
themselves scarcely realize. that in
one office work of a certain kind is
assigned to an individual for a certain
pay, while in another Office precisely
