LOOK INTO WELSH HISTORY
Simple Explanation Of Fact Which
Has for Long Puzzled Travellers
In That Country.

Sir Alfred L. Davies, who has set
some hundreds of Welsh children on
the interesting work OF compiling o
record Of Welsh rural lore--a sort Of
new Doomsday book--has been inquir'
ing the reason for the curious fact
(recorded by one Of the new cAron.
Iclers) that while Welsh cows are In
variably given Welsh names, Welsh
horses are as invariably given English
ones.
The explanation, says the Man.
chester Guardian, win be found a long
way back in history. The first owners
of horses In Wales were the mobiles,
many Of them foreigners frorn across
the border. Their horses naturally
had English names and as the native
Welshman, too, began to use horses
instead of oxen, he gave them the
familiar names 10 which he had be-
come accustomed.
SO II Is that to this day horses In
Wales bear such names as Boxer and
Duchess. while the cows remain us
true Welsh, with names like Siren and
pensgwar.

in part:
"A children's code is more than a

simply a labor-saving device, prepared
in order to facilitate the use OF the
statute books. This becomes neces
sary because our laws accumulate and
from time to time must be rearranged
so that they can be quickly referred
to in their proper places, and so that
repealed acts can be dropped from
