the Detroit News. 1t seems to be a
national trait of the HolIander, and
not only are the rnissives between Nev-
rouw and her daughter and Mynheer
and his son literally sprinkled with
the shortening of Dutch as she is

Dutch newspapers are also thriftily

Pius SqueaI for Squalls.

Animals will often tell us all we
want to know about the weather.
Watch your dog. If he refuses food
in the morning, and Is found suhse-
quently chewing grass on the lawn,
downpour may be anticipated. Sheep
will scatter far and wide over a hill
side during fair and settled weather,
but prefer TO huddle together under
shelter when storm approaches.
Some people say that the higher the
sheep on the hillside, the finer the
weather.
Ii cattle go reluctantly to pasture
in the morning. or lie down early In
the day, bad weather Is imminent, as
1t is when the mornings milk supply
is scanty, or the beasts themselves
low and look st the sky.
Pigs. of course, are infallihle barom-
eters: rhey squeal and grunt inces-
sanity when storms approach.

GALLERY GODS" HAD POWER
Actors Respected Those Who Sat
Among the Clouds in Old DTury
Lane Theatsr, London.

Nearly every American has at some
time in his career, generally the ear
lier part Of it, been gallery god
That Is TO say, he has seated himself
high In the topmOst gallery of the
ater, TO follow with tenseness the adj
ventures Of the heroine end hero.
How he obtained his title Of gallery
god" Is a matter that goes back a
great many years, TO the old English
Drury Lane theater In London.
The theater was decorated In @
somewhat giddy manner, with cupids
and cherubS scattered about In care
less confusion. To carry on the motif
Of airy summer days peOpled with
ltghtsOme creatures of fairy gardens,
the decorators painted the ceiling a
bright blue, and then placed puffy
white clouds here and there 70 repre-
sent the sky, with the smirking faces
of wee angels and fairies peering out
The gallery was built to get
money, and not to give any particular
comfort to those who paid their penny
or so TO sit there, so that the heads
of the gallery sitters were in reality
among the clouds. The actors had a
great respect for this gallery, never
theless, for its displeasure was mani
tested by booing In no uncertain tones,
and the combination Of painted sky,
and the desire for the approval of
the gallery provided the phrase "gal-
ier-y gods"

 The second clause of he warning was then taken up and Cooperation Counsel William A. King read his resolution which wss tsa sefise as follows:
 Resolved, That the town of WinGhhm authorize the seiectmdn to appear before the legislature now in session, to cause an enacsnieHt whereby the voting of Widhann shall be done in not more than five dis tfiets, this to go into effect. provided the voters of Windham at a town meeting ac- cept the enactment as laid down by the legislature.

 of WindhAn county''s tax, s17.eeo. makes a grand total of $22e, e,000.
 The grand list this year showed . sub stanttal increase, despite the fact that
 there was very little building done in the town of Windba1n in 1920 and for that
 matter during the past six years, the board of assessors turned into Town Clerk Frank P Fenton the grand list for 1929 on Janu " s1 showing an increase of SS3s,55s. Of that amount twc-thirdz

 According to plans of men who hay,

If the plan goes througt the voters of these three towns will votl ] in one of the city districts during tow elections. For city voters four, lists vii be kept as usual of voters in the foiiI wards.
