HOW
COMMON SUPERSTIT1ONS
ATTAINED THEIR VOGUE

ATTAINED THEIR VOGUE
Many superstitions are sup
posed to have originated from
theories based on the work
ings of the subconsclous mind,
or some deductions arrived at
by observing old sages who
knew how to put two and two
together.
Giving n knife to a friend,
says the philosopher, was con-
sidered likely way to break
Off a friendship because 1t de-
noted some subconscious but
sinister thought on the part OF
the giver.
He doped out the bad luck
that was supposed to follow
fellow who walked under lad
der In this wise: If n fellow Is
so lazy he takes the chance OF
walking under a ladder instead
of going around, he's likely to
meet with an accident before
long.
Picking up n pin, he says, Is
thrifty habit, and the man
who picks 1t up is both saving
and observant, and SO likely to
have success In whatever he
does.
As for the innocent 81 bill,
II got its reputation when some
careless shopper first handed II
out by mistake for q 81 bill, and
didn't get the right change. And
the poor 50 bill, that really is
as nice as any of the Long
Green family, has been regard
ed with cold and suspicious
eye.

SCHOOL CRISIS STILL
ACUTE SAYS CLAYTON

washington, Feb. 8. (United Press)
Public school teachers should re-
ceive at least s1,SO0,000,000 In sal
aries this year, p p. Claxton, com
missioner of education. said here to-
day. Last year teachers drew total
of approximately s7OO,OOO,OO0.
This is equal to half what is spent
annually for cigarettes" said Claxton.
Salaries for elementary school
teachers now are about 30 per cent
higher than four years ago, accord
ing to Claxton's reports, showing that
the campaign to get them more pay
has been partially successful. High
school principals now are paid an
average of is per cent more than be-
| fore the war, the records show.
Wage cutting throughout the coun-
I try and unemployment are factors
which are contributing some benefit
to the educatioG., system.

Formerly the teaching profession
attracted the best element of the pop

culture and education were attracted
to it. The men often went Into It

scrofuIa Most Progressive Now

ScrofuIa Most Progressive Now
Sudden changes of weather ere es-
pecially trying and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and
consumptive.
The progress of scrofula during a
normal autumn is commonly great.
1t is probable that few people ever
think of scrofula-its punches, erup-
tons and wasting Of the bOdy-with-
out thinking of the benefit many suf-
ferers from it have derived from Hoods
Sarsaparilla, whose success in the
treatment of this one disease alone
would be enough to make it what it Is,
one of the most famous medicines
in the world.
There is probably not city or
town where Hoods Sarsaparflla has
not proved it's merit in more homes
than one, in arresting and completely
eradicating scrofula, which is almost
as serious and as much TO be feared
as its near relative,-consumpti0n.
Hoods Pills, the cathartic to take
with Hoods Sarsaparilla, in cases
where one is necessary, are gentle
in action and thorough in effect.

Anniston. September 1o.-(Special) A sport event of wide interest will be staged at Camp Mcclellan Sunday afternoon, when the Talladega and Camp Mcclellan teams play the de- ciding game of the series between them, both of the teams having won two games each.
 Freeman will be on the firing line for Talladega and Carl Poss will do the twirling for the local aggrega- tion. Both of the pitchers have a long string of victories to their credit during the season and duel with exciting features is expected.
 Harry Prater, who has been out of the game for several weeks, will play at short for the camp team, and the balance of the lineup will be as it has been during the first four games.

that is the fact that Mike Norton, who shared quarterback duties with Baty and Burney last year. is re- turning, and Is fully capable of as suming the field general position by himself this year Norton must have substitutes, of course, but as long as Mikes in the game. Panther back CTS have little, to fear from this de- partment.
 Griffin at Half
 Greek Griffin, who subbed at half and end last year, will In all prob ability be tried out as varsity half back this year. Greek is one of the hardest line plungers Coacn Brown has had in several years. but he is light, and lack of weight has held him to second string duties thus far. Griffin has been playing bali all summer, though, and is in excel lent shape. He should find little trouble in making good as varsity halfback this season.
 Red Richardson, who played a splendid game on the line last year, will probably be shifted to the back field this season. It has been said that Gillem will try toI make a full- back out of the Goodwater star. With ms li0 pounds or more or muscle HHu bone Red should make a splendid line plunger. He is a fast man de- spite his weight and ought to do well In the backfield.
 Rogers to Return
 Another ray of sunshine for Pan- ther packers is the fact that Jim Rogers, who played fullback in 1919, is returning to school, and, of course, to the squad. Rogers is a corking good backfield man. and his return strengthens Panther backfield pros poets quite bit.
 According to advance reports, d formidable squad of freshmen foot ball candidates will invade the hill this week. and from this gang the Panther coaches are expecting to de- velop the players needed to fill in the holes left vacant by absence of last years varsity men.
