ALWAYS ON Guard
Superstitious BuIgarians Dread
Spirits Of Evil.
Observe Many Odd Customs Which
They Believe Of Immense lmpor-
lance to Their Welfare.

Are you one Of those who will not
walk under ladder, raise an UNI
brella in the house or spill the salt
without casting few grains over
your shoulder? If you believe in
these or the kindred superstitions fast
dying out in this country, you will
feel a degree of kinship with the av-
erage Bulgarian peasant. For there
are so many things a Bulgarian may
not do, writes Temple Manning, in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Among the many customs of rural
Bulgaria. to neglect which Is consld'
cred unlucky and even sinful, are the
following: To bring flour into the
house and neglect to fumigate it with
special incense. This must be done to
drive out Of the -four any demon
which may have entered the sack.
When the housewife or her daugh-
ter goes to the spring for water, she
must not neglect to spill a little on the
ground before even starting with the
pail for the house. This is done to
turn out any elemental spirit which
has been scoOped into the pail. II 1t
isn't done the spirit may take up its
abode In the house, and may even en-
ter the body Of one of the family who
drinks the water.

MAKES new BED
River Indus Changes Its Course
With Regularity.
petuaI Peril, as Water Constantly
Moves in a New Direction.

The frequently heard news that an
eastern river has changed its course
with danger to property and life
seems incredible until one has actually
seen an active river getting busy on
a new course, writes correspondent
from Waziristan, India.
Thus the Indus is a perpetual prob
lem, and for this reason: All prOvi-
sions must cross its broad waters. rs
Wazlristan is on the west bank and In
desert country.
Every October the river hibernates,
and bridge Of boats temporarily
solves the problem.
But each May It wakes up, shakes
Itself out Of its sleep and probably
sat of its original course.
The bridge is hurriedly dismantled
and there ensues anxious speculation
among the engineers.
Which way is the water coming2
After observations and soundings the
new position Of the port, quantity
called STEAMER Point" is fixed. There
follows a procession of railway men,
provision experts, coolies Oaborers)
and camels. Lines are laid, dumps"
arise and within week the erstwhile
lonely river bank is populated and be-
comes a "going concern"
Even then wary eye has to be kept
on the encroaching waters. Both the
railway and the supply "dumps" have
to be moved farther and farther back.
Sometimes even in a single night the
river will flow away into new and
unexpected channel; or, maybe, 1t will
| fOrsake a portion Of its bed, leaving a
yellow sandbank In its place.
The bank itself becomes jagged like
| a piece Of bread into which child has
made large bites.
| The water swirls ever inward and
cracks appear ten feet within the bank
the cracks deepen, and without warn
ing another large lump Of shore
crumbles away. A motor car that
stopped on such a piece disappeared
into the river and has not been seen
since.
And some Of these effects are curl.
GUS.
A cluster Of three palm trees, which
were well away from the water last
week, were little islands yesterday
This morning they had disappeared
Probably they are miles down the

You may imagine these quiet trees

Two Men Missing
AS Result ofCall
OF Ku Klux Klan
Two Texas Oil Field Workers

Goose Greek, Tex, June 2l.-The
silent, mysterious shadow of the Ku
Klux Klan passed over Goose Creek
last might and today B. L. Bloods-
worth and Olan Jones we're missing.
Early last night the two men, both
oil field workers, were asked to step
to one side. They then were seized
and carried away.
At midnight Bloodsworth, wearing
coat Of tar and feathers, was hurled
from an automobile that sped
through the streets. A little later
Jones was brought in. He, too, was
covered with tar and feathers.
The men told almost identical
stories. They said they were quietly
spirited away, carried into the coun-
try and given a hearing on charges
of being undesirable citizens. When
found guilty tar and feathers were
applied.
A placard was fastened to Jones
back, giving the cause for punish
ment and containing warning that
he must leave the community before
daylight Similar instructions had
been given Bfoodsworth verbally by

Both victims were given gasoline
bath to remove the tar and feathers.
Clothing was provided for them.
