MAN 5
RIGHT To END

Mrs. Margaret Sanger. Advo-

SYRACUSE. N. T.. Dec. 26.-
women have claimed and won
equality with men before the law.
They should grant men the same
privilege Of breaking the engage
ment that they have claimed and
used"
That Is the way Mrs. Margaret
Sanger, birth control advocate.
answered Marjorie Bowen, famous
British novelist, who recently de-
clared that men should be required
to keep marriage engagements and
women should retain the right,
under law, to sue for breach OF
promise damages.
Mrs. Sanger fired her answering
broadside at the British writer
while here to lecture before the
Women's Congress of Syracuse.
1T IL far better TO break before
than after marriage" warned Mrs.
Sanger. "It is OF the utmost i'm.

madly In love with the girl. II he
changes his mind. or II he learns
that he has ceased to care, both
are happier IL he breaks II off. So
far as legal action is concerned. ]
fail to see why the man should
not have the same privilege that
women frequently exercise. II hurts
a woman's vanity-Just that--to
lose her fiance. II would hurt her
far more to seek divorce.
Women have claimed and won
equality with men before the law.
They should grant men the same
privilege OF breaking the engage
ment that they have claimed and
used.
Happiness in marriage depends
far more on the mans love for
the woman than on the woman's
love for ahe man. Unless each
step forward in their love-lives is
earnestly desired by both the mar
riage is doomed.
Marriage should he consum.
nation Of mutual desire. As for
forcing man 10 marry-that Is
ridiculous and almost impossible.
Marriage calls for the highest mu.
tual love, and love cannot be
forced. You can't legislate it into
existence"

VIKINGS BURIED WITH SHIPS
Seas Were Appropriately Honored
by Their Followers.

It was one of the ancient Vikings
customs to bury their prominent dead
In ship which was sunk in the earth
and covered with a mound. Within
these burial ships were placed the
choicest belongings, horses, carts or
wagons, sleds, apparel, cooking uten-
sils and quite often a living servant
accompanied the master to the grave
to minister to his wants in the halls
Of Walhalla.
Only through a fortunate circum-
stance are any relics of this kind in
existence, and that is due to the fact
that In several cases the ships were
buried in potters' clay, which is par
ticularly good for the preservation
Of wood. Under ordinary circumstances
these burial boats have been total
ly destroyed by the dampness of the
earth, only the rotted rivets giving
any clew as to the size Of the boats.
To date only three such boats have
been found that could be recon
structed; the last one was found quite
recently, and it has proved to>be the
finest Of the three. It is known as
the Osebrge ship, being unearthed
in the place of that name, in the
province Of Jarisberg and Larvik.

The primitive trait to shift the

Evolution Of Name "london."

The name "London' dates back to
the time when the Inhabitants of
Great Britain were wild and uncivil-
lied and when the Thames was much
wider than it is at present. In fact,
this river was then a sort of lake or
lagoon up which the tide came from
the sea.
1t was upon this body of water that
the Celts built rude sort of fort to
which they referred as "the fort on
the lagoon" or in Celtic "cair Lun-
dun" Upon their invasion of Eng
land, the Romans adopted the same
name with slight alteration to- en-
able it to fit into the Latin, and the
town was then known as 'Londin-
.ium." 1t was during the Roman &C.
cupation that the place grew to be an
important town, and even after
Romans departed, the Latin term
chung to the city until well on into the
Middle ages, when the gradual trend
away from the strict Latin form
caused the elimination of the last two
syllables and the changing of the first
81" into an CO.. thus producing the
name London precisely as it is to-
day.

TELLS OF ESKIMO MELODIES
Arctic Explorer Declares They Arc
Weird and Wistfui to a Degree,
and Characteristic.

Knud Rasmussen and FridtjOf Nan
sen and also Hinrich Johannes Rink,
who was sent north years ago by Lady
Franklin to find her husband, have
given to the world valuable facts about
the customs and lives Of the Eslximos,
the Detroit News observes. Christian
Leden's unique contribution from the
arctic regions is in the field of music
For years he studied and faithfully
transcribed the Innuit melodies. Each
Eskimo, he says, is obliged to compose
his own song, and no person may sing
the song of another without first OBJ
tanning permission. The mother has
her cradle song, infinitely low and
sweet. The hunter has his song of the
chase, clear and bold. Even the bad
man of the tribe has his song, and it
was quick and appropriately brazen.
Harmony has not been developed
among the Eskimos. They sing only in
unison. But their melodies are weird
and wistful, often consisting of only
two or three motives, which are
strangely effective.
It is during the long polar night
that the Eskimo has time to rest in hin
igloo and sing his songs.

| ODD IDEAS c { cElsiglVo TIDES
Anc'ents Hold Fsarful sAd wonderful
esllsfs @ 70 the Cause Of
Water,s Ebb and Flow.

Aristotle and Heraclitus said the
tides were caused by the sun, which,
whirling the winds about, cause them
to fall with violence on the Atlantic,
which swells and thus causes the tides.
Plato's explanation was that they were
caused by an animal living in cavern,
which through the movement of its
mouth caused the tides. Another be.
lief was that the tides were q natural
movement Of the respiration or breath.
Ing of the sea. ~
There are records of medieval be.
uefs among the Arabs Some thought
that the tides were caused by the
moon heating the waters so that they
swelled up and thus rose higher. while
others believed they were caused by
vapors generated in the bowels Of the
earth. Again. others believed they
were caused by the alternate decom.
position Of the sea by the air, and
then the air by the sea, thus account
ing for the ebb and flow. Still another
belief was that great serpent swal-
lowed and vomited water alternately.
Early Cape Cod folk and those in
other districts along the New Eng
land coast believed that people died
at the ebb or flowing out of the tide.
Watchers by the bedside Of dying
people firmly believed that one could
not die until the ebb tide began to run.
In Scotland it was formerly thought
that In setting eggs to hatch one should
set the eggs at flood tide If one wanted
ROSTERS, and at the ebb tide If one
wanted hens.
