BUILING TOO SMALS

Miami, Dec. 1.-The fair building
here apparently is not large enough
for the local national guard company
and Harvey Steeds Post of the Ameri-
can Segion. The building has been
used jointly by the two organizations
as an armory and clubhouse.
There was said to have been an I'M
writted agreement by which each or
ganization would reap all the bene-
fits of it's individual entertainments
Then, according to complaint made
to Mayor Leffler by Jack Cleary.
commander of the American Legion
Post, the national guard claimed it
was entitled to all the money derived
from entertainments held in the
building because of it's contract with
the city.

In the case of the slamming door,
however, the noise makes a sudden
impression upon the nerves which
transmit sound to the brain and
the muscles OF the body respond in
voluntarily with quick, emphatic
jerk. The more nervous or aighly
strung the person is, the greater the
reflex action, and there are cases
on record where this involuntary
movement of the muscles, due to

pected noise. has been sufficient to
cause the heart to stop beating and
thereby bring an instant death.

Romance in Origin
OF Superstihons
BY H. l. KING.
Scraping Off the Disease.

Miss Fanny Bergen in her collec-
ton of superstitious current in this
country cites the case of man in
Vermont who cured himself of fever
and ague by tying himself to an ash
tree and then crawling cut and leav-
ing the disease tied there. Kindred
methods of cure are rather common
in Europe-especially it would appear
in rural England-and are not infre-
quently within this country. Crawl
ing through a cleft tree, through the
low arch of bent twig stuck in the
ground or upright posts set close to-
gether, are some of the methods OF
scraping off disease practiced in
Europe; and in Britain there are
ancient stones with narrow opening
between through which men crawl
today in the hope of leaving their al
fiictions behind just as they crawled
through those same stones for the
same purpose in the days when the
Druid priests cut the mistletoe with
their golden sickies from the neigh
boring oak.
The superstition can be traced rar
back and is survival of primitive
mans sympathetic magic of the con-
tagious variety. Mr.. Caveman rea-
soned something like this: If he
crawled through a narrow opening
he would scrape his clothing off, if
he had any on. If he did not he
would scrape his skin off--a part of it
at least. His disease had become
part of him like his clothes or his
skin, and like process would scrape
that off. Then disease was caused by
evil spirits and from time immemorial
an approved way of getting rid OF evil
spirits was to lure them into a tight
place and leave them there.
The Vermont mans cure was three
ply. By crawling out of the rope he
transferred to it the Substance of his
disease" Then there was the magic
of the obstructive knot" which kept
the fever tied, and lastly he had ap-
pealed for relief to the sacred ash,
the tree god gdrasil Any ordinary
case of fever and ague ought to yield
to so powerful a treatment.

"All men are selfish" a married
woman was heard to remark, when
it comes to their own personal en-
joyment."
But you need not run to cover on
this statement.
"Of course, they may not intend
to be selfish" she went on, "but
they think that a woman can rest,
sleep or get out afternoons if she
wishes.
"But this is not what we want;
we want the companionship of our
