 Birthday Greetings.
 Any number of young people pos sess the happy faculty of looking for ward to birthdays-oh, that we might say the same. However, when we hear of any little young lady who is just six and "going right on to seven," we immediately look her up and see if she didn't have a birthday party.
 Sure enough, Miss Katherine Stew enson was the lucky little one this week and what merry time her little friends had. An ideal day made it possible to have an outdoor affair and to see the little ones playing on the lawn and swinging in the magnifi- cent new birthday swing was enough to wish the years might slip away. Refreshments came early--the main party, of course-then more games, then hunting for little gifts with names upon them, then candy and oh, yes, at last, home and dreams of the delightful affair. We saw the invited list which included Barbara Becker, Catherine Cress, Barbara Rees, Tom and Mary Delphine Pollock, Phillips Isham, Marshall Wilson, Ruth Faulk, Ruth Reinflesh, Victor and Jack Clark, Caroline Lusk, Ann and Mary Mar jorie Yaeger, Mildred and Harris Burke, Thurman and Thalya Gunter,

MT. and Mrs. Archie Hogan Give Dancing Party.

Give Dancing Party. MT. and Mrs. Archie Hogan invited several of their friends to a very en- joyable dance last Friday night at their Bon-Ton grocery and bakery. The floor, that had been danced upon so many times in the past before it was loaded with groceries and bakery goods, was waxed, and that, with the good music, afforded the congenial bunch that attended a chance to show what they really can do for terpsi- chore. The guests were: Mir. and Mrs. w. D. Draine, MT. and Mrs. j.. c. Till man, Mir. and Mrs. Joe Schmidt, Mir. and Mrs. A. R. Pressnell, Mir. and Mrs. Paul Coffin, Mir. and Mrs. Hugh Till man, MT. and Mrs. l.. w. Cress, MT. and Mrs. Del Strong, MT. and Mrs. Frank Zalesky and Miss Helen Zales- ky, Mir. and Mrs. Durward Mckinney, the Misses Daugherty and Broadhead and Messrs. Everett Mercer and l.. A. McDaniels.
 Following the dance came delicious refreshments and then some more dancing.
 Hudson Keagle.
 On Monday evening, at the M. E. parsonage, Rev. w. H. Took united in matrimony Willard s. Hudson, of Phoenix, and Esther Grace Keagle, of Red Cloud, Neb.
 Mir. Hudson is teller of the Phoenix National bank. He came to Flagstaff on Sunday, meeting Miss Keagle at the train. Jack McLarracher came up with Mir. Hudson and was best man at the wedding. The bridegroom was overseas with the Third division dur ing the war.
 MT. and Mrs. Hudson will spend two weeks at Grand Canyon, then re- turn to Phoenix.

 Home Again.
 Only the pleasure of going away brings the added one of returning. We have been gone some three months but in all that time Flagstaff has had good free advertising of the best kind. Should any visitors find discrep- ancies in various descriptions, we'll attribute it entirely to the altitude. Let them come; we'll welcome them ana explaln later.

 Woman's Club.
 With the coming of fall comes also the usual fall activities, and among them none stands in a more prominent place than the Flagstaff Woman's Club.
 The attractive year books seem full of interesting subject matter One fails to realize that this club was or ganized in 1914 and now it reads for the year 1921-22. In that time many ed and brought to fulfilment by this loyal band of women. Perhaps some are not aware that the membership includes almost one hundred and fifty.

 Next Saturday will be the first gen. eral meeting for the year. The Home Economies department has the meet ing in charge and it promises to be a splendid one. We know something of the program and can vouch for sew eral interesting numbers.

Not a Time To Change

This is not time to make changes in the plan
policy of the Pueblo city government. 1t is critical
time in the affairs of the city, and it will require careful
management, backed by the unanimous support of the
people of Pueblo, to carry thru the work that must be
accomplished if the future of the city is to be made
Under present circumstances, therefore, the change
should not be made from the commission plan to the city
manager plan There is reason to doubt that those
who propose the change at this time influenced by
worthy motives and they believe the change would be
for the good of the city But this is not time when
the city affairs should be turned council of

Unemployment Decreased

A favorable business indication is the decrease in
unemployment shown by the department of labor for
the month of September The seasonal influence might
be expected to be in the opposite direction and the
tura expectation would be that unemployment would
show an increase thru the winter months.
1t is not certain, however, that the Improvement is
due change for the better in general business condi
tions. The agitation of the unemployment problem, and
the taken result of the conference
in Washington, have had effect upon labor condi-
tions. II is quite possible that the chief reason why
more men are working October l than were working
on September is that the nation has wisely decided
that it is cheaper to give work to that need it than
it is to support those in ideness.
Whatever the the country is to be Songrat-
uated. If there is improvement in business condi
tions so much the better. If employment has been
provided simply a remedy for unemployment, that is
good and its results will be beneficial in general way
well to the actually employed.

THE why OF
SUPERSTITION
BY H. IRVING.


The superstition that when family
moves into a new house there will
shortly be q death in that family is,
fortunately, not so prevtlent as some
others or the housing problem would
be greater than 1t is. But the super
stition exists.
The writer knew a man of millions,
prominent in national affairs, who hav-
ing bought an estate, hesitated for
years to pull down the old house on 1t
and build a new one because Of this
ancient superstition. Finally he risked
it and died-some twelve years later
and then he was about seventy-six
years old.
The origin of this superstition is
plain. 1t is a hangover" from the
days when it was thought necessary in
order to assure the stability and the
good fortune of a new building to pro-
pirate the gods by a human sacrifice.
Human beings were enclosed in the
walls or buried alive under the corner
posts or pillars of the new edifice. The
books are full of instances of this
practice which appears to have per-
sisted into early Christian times. There
is a castle in Germany where they will
show you the place where child was
built into the walls at its erection; and
the legend is well known of how the
evil epirits threw down st. Columbia's
church on Iona Island as fast as he
built it until he had buried man alive
under one of the pillars, when all went
well.
In Greece today it is said to be the
custom of builders to surreptitiously
measure a mans shadow and bury the
resulting figures under the new build
ing-the best that can be done in view
of the popular prejudice. And every
once in a while you may hear the old
saying, When the house is finished
the hearse stands at the door" Some
profess to see in the custom of laying
cornerstones survival from the
bloody practice of our barbarian ances-
tors in their building operations.
