ODD BELIEFS OF JAPANESE
Popular superstltions Have Mostly
Sprung From Moral Preeepts
and Are Quite Harmless.

There are many popular, as dlstiD-
suished from religious, superstiuons
in Japan. These originally sprang
from mostly moral precepts and are
quite harmless. They prevail more
widely among people in the rural ana
mountain districts than among city
dwellers and among the older and ig-
norant classes than among the young
and educated groups. Some Of these
superstitiOns are:
At q marriage ceremony dress OF
purple color is taboo, lest the mutual
love of the bride and groom be soon
lost, as purple is color most liable
10 fade.
If while a person Is very Ill a cup
of medicine be upset by accident II
is a sure sign Of his recovery; ne
needs medicine no longer.
Fire is the spirit Of the god Kojlin.
1t is supposed to have purifying ef-
feet and must be RESPECTED. To step
on fire, to throw refuse In 1t, will
cause the wrath Of the god and hence
O. calamity. The bore is not unknown
In Japan, and the Japanese are pes
tered with visitors who sit their well
come out and drive their hosts into
a frenzy Of eagerness to get rid OF
chem. The Japanese recipe of getting
rid of them is as follows: 60 10 the
kitchen, turn the broom upside down.

The tedious visitors will soon depart.
Japanese babies and children are
not allowed to look into mirrors, for

marry they will have twins.

WOMAN SEES NEGRO
ELECTROCUTED FOR
HUSBANDS MURDER

Columbia, March 26.-Mrs. Earl
Wadford of Lone Star, in Calhoun
county, was a witness to the electro
cution of Feetie Fogle, negro, who to
day paid the death penalty at the
Penitentiary for the murder of Wad-
ford on January IL. Before he was
electrocuted Fogle made statement
to the effect that Harvey Whaley,
row in the death cell and awaiting
electrocution on April 8, as. accessory
to the crime is not guilty. ..
In the trial of the caees Whaley
was accused by Fogle of having told
Fogle to shoot. Before dieing today
Fogle denied that Whaley was guilty
to this extent and it is probable that
his statement will probably bring
about some change in the orders for
Whaley's electrocution.
At the time Earl Wadford was
killed, Mrs. Wadford and her baby
and Corbett Zeigler, a neighbor, who
was at the Wadford home, were
wounded. This is the first time wom-
en- have ever witnessed an electrocu-
ION.

WHITE HOUSE ZOOLOGY

President Taft had his famous
COW Pauline, highly bred Guern-
sey. By accepting the offer OF a
Libertyvflle, ILL.,, breeder, as he is in
clined to do, President Harding may
have a champion Jersey to make her
way to milky fame at the White
House. Between our latest Republi-
can Presidents there has been Mr..
Wilson with his little Democratic
flock of sheep.
Some day it may occur to some
body to write a measurably full
story of the White House pets, use
full and otherwise. The man of these
is legion, for nearly always there
have been the children or the grand
children of Presidents in the Execu-
tive Mansion, and little folk are the
true and catholic lovers of animal
playfellows. One remembers the pet
badger given by a little girl OF
Sharon Springs, Kan, which became
the delight of the young Roosevelts
in the Rough Riders administration.
Horses there were always at the
White House in before-the-notor
days and for few years after.
There was a eeachman Of color, one
Albert Hawkins, who in 1890 was
able to boast that he had driven
spanking teams for six presidents,
beginning with Grant. One of his
charges was the gentle bay called
John who used to eat sugar from the
frail hand of Mrs. Harrison. And
of course there have been ponies.
Records at hand show no humble,
practical pig among traditional prop
critics at the White House. On the
other hand, there is no listing of the
vain, imperial. peacock. These ex-
tremes may be reached yet in the
process of making complete the
zoology OF executive Washington
New York World.

True Trachoma Easily. Transmitted

At n recent meeting Of the Ameri.

Mullin, surgeon, z. 9. Public Health
service. started lively debate I'm the
section on preventive medicine by
reading paper in which he asserted
that much Of the so-called trachoma
which afflicted the eyes Of American
children is not trachoma and not con.
tagious.
The original cause Of this fnflamma.
tion Of the eyelids Is unknown, but
1t is known with certainty that 1t is
transmitted with ease from one eye to
another. There Is another type. called
follfculitis, which is not contagious
and can easily be cured, while the
true trachoma necessitates a slight
surgical operation and careful treat
ment; and, even with this, It Is by
no means certain that 1t is ever per-
manently cured.

Millions Of Dollars, While Sea-

. Deficit.

Columbia, March 26.-Two OF the
trunk lines operating in South Caro-

of the Southern were S4,S92,084;
while the Seaboard operated at de-
felt of $43S,6O7, its operating ex-
penses in South Carolina exceeding
it's gross earnings securing in this
state by that amount.
The Southern's net earnings in this
state for 1920 were nearly four times
what: they were in 1919, the Coast
Line. earnings were only about TWEEN
;ty per cent Of what they were. the
year before. The Seaboard's losses for
1920, according to the report, were
nearly four times greater than their
earnings for 191.
The three trunk lines operating in

ing expenses in South Carolina in.
cluding maintenance of ways and
structures maintenance of equipment
tafic and transportation expenses and
taxes $40, ,960,858. The Southern and

472 tons within the state, both inter-
state. and intra-state freight. The

Preserving the Salmon.

Completion of an improved $4,000
salmon hatchery at Madison, Conn.,,
for restocking eastern streams with
the valuable food fish that disap-

a century ago, is awakening renewed
interest in the cause of that early de-
pletion, according to Popular Me-
cbanics Magazine. The too common
construction Of dams without proper
fish ladders, blocking the seasonal as
cent Of the salmon from the sea, ex-
plains the impending loss Of this
great natural resource, condition
often technically difficult Of correc-
ton because many Of the streams are
