LAND OF DARK SUPERSTITION
Throughout His Life, the Moor 10
Guided by Strange, Sometimes
Most Savage Beliefs.

one of the first things a traveller no
tees In Moorish town are the
"hands." pain ed or drawn. ON the
walls of ma houses and buildings.
These are to avert the "evil spirit;
Ave, the nun Der OF fingers, Is con.
sidered a sat I'd number. These hands
are also wo.t In the form of 0rna-
ments. and ssve to keep of the ''evil
one" As In Europe. the horseshoe II
frequently seen over doorways.
A Moor considers 1t great sin TO
cut bread with knife, declaring that
our hands were given us TO break IL.
The same idea accounts for the say
Ing that ito tread on corn IL TO tread
on angels"
Offerings OF food. hair and other
small articles are often placed In the
trunks OF certain trees. and have h
quaint Significance. As the makers OF
these offerings are poor Moors with
large families. they firmly believe that
Allah viii be pleased and win give
them means TO support their families.
Some Moors declare that. after this
Offering. their children cut less. and.
therefore. cost less TO keep.
At another religious celebration
spiked balls are thrown into the air
and allowed to fall on the throwers'
heads. The man who appears the
most injured and ferocious is con-
sidered the most truly religious.
Moorish marriages are performed at
midnight, and the bride ID confined 10
her room for several days after the
ceremony. No Moorish woman who is
truly religious is seen in the streets at
any time. except In cases OF absolute
necessity. Life is indeed different FROM
that In Europe.

Why Brain Can't BE over1orked.

Don't be afraid of oyerworking the
brain; you can't do 1t. You can't think
too much. observes a London Answers
writer
THE more the mind does" says a
prominent medical authority, "the
more II can do"
Another well known doctor said re-
Gently:
In all my practice ms q physician
dealing with nervousness and mental
diseases. | can say without hesitation
that | have not met single case of
nervous or mental trouble caused by
too much thinking or oyerstudy. What
produces mental trouble Is worry, emo.
tional excitement or lack of interest
In ones work."
So there Is no need 10 be afraid. The
more you think. study or plan, the bet
ter IL Is for you. because yea are train
Ing your mental powers. You cannot
overwork the brain us long as you
keep IL healthy with outdoor exercise
whenever possible. Then Ii will re-
cuperate of its own account. II liz
worry that destroys the brain--worry.
fear. bad feelings and mental idleness.

How Ice 10 Giving Up Dead.

The glaciers and snow fields of
Switzerland melted SO much during
the long. hot summer OF 1921 that
many long-lost bodies were found.
One was that OF guide lost Is years
ago; another Swiss school teacher
who disappeared In 1914. and In as
much as the winter just past has been
mild, 1t seems that many more bodies
will be recovered this summer. II Is
hoped that the remains OF Lord Fred
erlck Douglas, killed during Whym-
per's ascent OF the Matterhorn In 1865,
may be found. Ice surpasses embalm-
Ing, and IL we could get to the bottom
of the Arctic Ice we might learn what

How a Eiah Elias.

Some highly interesting observations
on flying fishes have been made by DR..
Il. ii. Hankln. In the Arabian sea. In
still weather the length of glide was
about meter. with considerable
lateral instability; In light wind this
was increased to from 200 10 400
meters. A resemblance between the
wing action OF soaring vultures and
the Tin action of the fishes was
marked. In both, the wing or I'm Is
inclined upward, the outer part AT a
higher level than the base, In slow
speed flights. while both show q

Big FIGHT FOR
LEGISLATURE
Recall to be Used by l. V. A
Organization in Campaign

Fight for control of the next legis-
lature, while not as spectacular as
other political battles because there
are so many involved, will be none
the less vigorous in the fall camp
aign. Both the I. V. A. and league
organizations are planning big ef-
fort to win control, and the margin
left by the primary is so small that
the tide may turn either way.
Independents have decided to in
stitute recall elections against John
Nathan, state senator from Sheridan
county, and Chris Levang in Walsh
county. The league is expected to
run Sen. w. J. Church in the fall in
an effort to win Benson county,
which was lost in the primary by a
few votes with John Maddox as the
league candidate.
The Independent headquarters at
Fargo is functioning now. Govern
or Nestos will open his campaign at
Wilton on Wednesday night, and will
continue a speaking tour for two
weeks. Other speakers are expected
to be put in the field within the next
week or two. An urgent appeal for
money has been made by this organ
ization.
The league headquarters in Fargo
also has got under way. The league
executive committee will direct the
campaign, it has been announced.

which r. ]. Frazier is chairman, also
has opened headquarters in Fargo.

Mrs. John H. Wishek Urges
Women of Devils Lake
t'@ = TO Do Same

Impressed with one of the fea-
lures of the display incident to
the pageant in celebration of the
dedication of the Missouri River
Bridge, Mrs. J. w. Wishek of Ash
lev has asked the women of Devils
Lake to prepare a series of win
dows in Devils Lake showing the
history Of that town. Mrs. Wishek
is chairman of the history section
of the North Dakota Federation of
Women's Clubs and she desires the
windows for the entertainment and
instruction of the delegates to the
next convention of the Federated
Clubs to be held at Devils Lake,
October 3, and 5.
Mrs. Wishek: one of the pioneers
of North Dakota is interested in
the preservation of pioneer history.
AS one of the ways of preserving
it, the club women of Mcintosh
county offered a series Of prizes
for the school children of the coun-
ty for the best essay upon the
lives of pioneers in that county.
While making a late start, the re-
suit was very satisfactory, and the
club women have determined the
work for future years.
The prizes this year were won
by school children living in the
northern part of the county, writ
ing of men who moved there in the
very early days. Mrs. Wishek and
her co-workers expect to stress the
availability of the settlers in all
parts of the county until a history
has been written of most of the
early timers.
