President Regrets
Loss of Farm Bill

Washington, Defeat by the sem
ate of the Norbeck- Burtness bill to
aid northwestern farmers In diversi-
flying their crops is matter of re-
greet to President Coolidge.
The president regarded the mea :
ure as in harmony with advocacy in
his message to congress of expedient
to permit greater crop diversihcation
in the wheat-growing states and he
specifically recommended its enact
ment in a special message to congress
The McNary-Haugen farm export
corporation bill, which will be the
next farm relief measure considered
by the senate, is looked upon by the
president as possessing merit, but not
designing to accomplish the purposes
sought in the Norbeck- Burtness pro-
posal.

Billiard Game Played
in Cage With Lions

Before the game of billiards was
known by Its present name 1t was
called "pnille mallle," and was played
out Of doors like croquet The ia
nous London street, Pail Mall, is
named after 1t. for the game was
played years ago on its site.
Since then the game has been played
In many queer places, but by far the
most exciting match on record was
that which took place between two
men some years ago in lions cage.
The billiard table was placed in the
cage where the lions lay resting, and
the two men entered and began to
play. Their cues had been specially
made and were very heavy, so that, If
required, they could be used as
weapons.
Both men played nervously, making
many misses, while the lions looked
on curiously. At one time one Of the
ivory balls fell from the table and
rolled near one of the lions. The
great beast shifted at 1t and growled
ominously. After that both players
fastened to finish their game.--Lon-

The dahlla may become one of the
chief sources Of the worlds sugar sup
ply, because Of a new formula for
dahlla sugar that has lately been COM
pleted by the University Of Southern
California. Thousands Of acres may
be taken up with the cultivation Of
tuber that has hitherto been valued
only for its flower, as result. The
tuber of the dahlla contains not only
large percentage Of sugar. but sugar
one and one-half times as sweet as
cane or beet sugar. Probably the
greatest benefit derived from this new
discovery Of the commercial value of
the dahlla tuber is that the sugar 1t
yields is quite harmless to diabetic
patients, and this fact will bring cheer
and new hope to thousands of Inva-
lids.

Practice of Touching
Wood Ancient Custom

Many people, after they have boast
ed Of their good luck. proceed to
touch wood" So did our remote an
cestors. the tree worshipers.
AN authority on such matters wrote:
"rhe remarkable similarity In Gus
toms all over Europe points to the
conclusion that tree worship was an
important element in the early re-
lgion Of mankind. especially Of the
Aryan stock, and the slnsularly uni
formity Of rites and ceremonies which
can easily be shown 70 exist in widely
separated countries warrants US in be-
lieving that they cannot have changed
much from very remote ages; and that
the practices continued down 10 a
very recent perlod-some even among
ourselves-were substantially Identical
with the rites and ceremonies OBJ
served by Egyptians, Etruscans. Greeks
and Romans"
The primitive belief was that spirits
resided In trees. Without this basic
idea being entirely lost there came
the period Of the sacred groves and
the Druids' oaks, anil then the dedlca-
ton Of certain sorts Of trees to the
earliest and simplest form Of the su-
perstition.
We touch wood to call the attention
Of the tree spirit to the fact that we
recognize his influence In the good
luck Of which we boast and In order
that he may not feel sighted and
change our good fortune into bad; at
least, that is why our ancestors touched
wood.-London T1t-Bits.

An actress, retired, who had once
played with Richard Mansfield, favors
us with this anecdote: "One red hot
day In New York, we had been rehears-

looked as cool as an ice cream soda.

lot that was summoned to the green

Reveals How Nicknan1es
of History Originated

Nicknames arose out of an attempt
to stigmatize unpopular parties and
so bring ridicule and contempt upon
them.
The long parliament of the time Of
Cromwell was called the Trump" be-
cause the leader was a man named
Barebones.
One Of the most historic religious
mcknames Is that Of Huguenot, which
was given to the French Professionals
Of the Sixteenth century These peo-
pie were prosecuted, and the nick
name suggests that they were hlders,
as no doubt they often had to be.
The Puritans Of Queen Ellzabeth's
time were given that name in derlslon.
but both Puritan and Huguenot have
risen to be names Of great historic sig
niflcance.
Among Other religious nicknames.
Quaker and sh ker may be mentioned.
Quaker is nickname given to a mem
Der of the Society OF Friends. II had
It's origin in famous remark made
by the founder OF the society, George
Fox, who began to preach in 1o47.
Shakers was the name given to an
American sect because their religious
fervor produced a trembling move
ment-
Political nicknames have also be-
come historic: Roundhead and cava-
lier were nicknames given to the two
parties during the Civil war In this
country. Such names as whig and
tory were given. in the first place, In
derision.--London Tit-Bits.

Securities Make
Ideal Gifts

TOO many Christmas gifts are
= absolutely useless They rep.
resent sheer waste. A bond or
a good dividend-paying stock
makes an ideal Christmas present.
The receipt of an interest or
dividend check every quarter or
every six months is a. pleasant
reminder of the giver. Securi.
ties are peculiarly appropriate as
gifts for children. relatives, EN-.
ployes and elderly folks none
too well circumstanced. More
than one youth has been started
on the path Of saving money by
receiving an income-bearinR re-
curity at Christmas. Andrew
Carnegie all through his life
declared that the receipt Of the
first dividend on the first few
shares of stock he and the Car
negie family acquired stood out
as one of his greatest red-letter
days. It carried the lesson that
something besides ones own work
could make money; it brought
home to him that money could
make money.
Maybe a security given by you
as Christmas gift this season
win start another Andrew Car.
negie on his way.--B. G. Forbes,

This method Is based on spec.
troscopic observations. As have
explained in other articles, stars
that are approaching, or toward
which we are moving, have the
lines in their light spectrum SHIFT
ed toward the violet end, willis
stars that are receding, or from
which we are moving away, have
the same lines shifted toward the
red end OF the spectrum. And,
the velocity of light being known.
1t is possible to calculate from the
amount Of shift Of the lines the
valocity either Of approach or re-
cession. With these facts in mind
look at the second picture.
There we see that the stars
around Vega, as q whole, show q
shift OF spectral line toward the
violet, indicating that the sun Is
going more or less directly. to-
ward them, while the stars from
which the sun Is moving away
have their lines shifted more or
less toward the red. The stars
that lie nearly at right angles TO
the line OF the suns motions

with them there Is neither APP
proach nor recession.
But in the second method also
there are complications to be
dealt with. so that the estimates
derived from 1t have. as in the
other case, to be based upon
averages. An example Of the
complications involved In the sec
ond method is seen in the fact
that, owing to the independent
motions OF the stars, some that
are ahead Of the sun may be
moving away from 1t faster than
1t approaches them, while some
behind may be approaching faster
than the sun recedes.
So stars situated along the sides
Of the suns path, so to speak,
are soWe Of them approaching
and others receding, with corBe-
quent shiftings OF their lines, the
results Of which must be shillfully
eliminated in combining all the
observations to determine from
them the mean direction and
speed Of the suns motion.
I That the work has been we'll
done Is indicated by the general
agreement between the conclu.
sions derived from the two meth
