New Year Services
At Methodist Church

The services at the Methodist
Church last Sunday morning were in
keeping with the shirt of the New
Year. The pastor, Will j. Law, took
for his text: THAT which is born
of the flesh is flesh and that which
is born of the Spirit is Spirit" He
said in part: I'VE celebrate on
Christmas the birth of Christ, whom
Paul tells us was the first-born Of
many brethren. 1t is also fitting
that on New Years we should cele-
brate the birth of the many brethren.
This is essentially a spiritual birth
and must come to all who would
bear the image and gain the favor
OF God; a state of mind and heart
which puts God first in our life pur-
pose and will give us power to help
carry out our New Years Resolu-
tons"

of
Superstitions
Blu H lRDlNG KING
SWEEPING

THAT It is bad luck to sweep the
house after dark is superstition
very common in the South and is not
unknown in the North In some of
the New England seaports sailors
ashore do not like their friends to
sweep after dark saying that If they
do their wages viii be swept away by
sickness or other misfortune.
This superstition is born of sugges
ton by association. In all well-regu-
lated households the sweeping Is not
put off until the day has closed. II is
only the pressure of too many urgent
duties. or sheer laziness, which causes
the housewife TO WELD her broom
after sunset and either reason has for
its corollary an unhappy and unfor
tunate household Therefore, sweep
ing after dark became associated In
the mind with unpeasantness, unhap
piness bad luck" and the associa-
ton developed into superstition
And back of this Is the fact that the
broom in all ages has had a tinge of
the occult attaching to IT, originating
from symbolsm-as the broom sweeps
away all before 1t so do the unseen
powers.

LAZY HANS

TN A far-off country once there lived
lazy man named Hans; and that
was not all the fault he bad. for Hans
spent much time at the tavern ut the
end Of the village whore he lived, and
MI of his money, too, which in truth
was NOT much.
The only work that Hans ever did
was To sit on the bank Of the river
that flowed by the village and fish.
Sometimes he caught nothing at all ;
and when he did, as far as his family
were concerned, he might just MS well
have caught nothing. for lie sold the
fish at the tavern and did not go home
until hunger drove him there.
His patient wife did washing to get
money for herself and little Hans, OF
they would have Jared hard, so little
did big Hans bother with the welfare
of his family.
One day as he snt by the river fish
Ing he suddenly felt a tug at the line
he was holding. Hans tried to pull In
his catch, for he was sure It must
weigh many pounds.
But the Juggling grew harder as he
pulled and Hans wound the line around

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"eRoTEs QuE"

A LAI0ST as whimsical and
"A twisted out OF shape as is
the word Itself, the history of
"grotesque' leads us back to
certain figures found In the
subterranean apartments or
grottoes in ancient Rome-the
word itself literally meaning
"partaklng of the qualities of a
grotto, though Its latter day sig
niticance Is distinctly different
The connection between the
original term and its present use
as a synonym for odd or fan
tastlc is apparent from a pas
sage from memoirs" of Ben
yenuto Celllni: "These foliages
have received the name gro
tesque' from the moderns, be
cause they We're found In GER
tain caverns In Rome, which In
ancient days We're chambers,
baths, studies, halls and other
places of like nature. The curl
Gus happened to discover them
in these subterranean eaverns
whose low level is due to the
raising Of the ground in series
OF ages, and as these eaverns In
Rome are commonly called
'grottoes,' the objects themselves
acquire the name grotesque."
The "foliages" to which Gel
linl alludes were carved In all
manner of queer and distorted
shapes. 1t was for this reason,
therefore, that the word which
originally meant "grotto-like"
came to take on the new, and at
present, the only accepted mean

NIGHT STRIPPERS TRIM GUM
CUTTING
The Night Crew wins 81 Battle
Monday Night

The Night Shift demonstrated
their superiority over the Gum Cut
ting Department in the lively battle
Monday evening, trimming Readings
Rough Necks to the small end of a
81 struggle.
c. Goodell pitched an excellent
game allowing no hits until the
fourth inning and only five for the
whole game.
Con Tweedle, who has played ON
almost every team so far, and in
most all of the positions. distin-
gulshed himself by an old fashioned
Babe Ruth in the fourth inning when
ne knocked the ball over the creek
and lost it in the bushes. Forum
ately no one was on base at that
time.
The game started with lots of
snap and the first inning was termin-
ated by double play, Pinelli to Mil
nor to Pollock. In the 3rd inning the
Night Shippers scored four runs
and in the next session the Cutters
solved the mystery of Goodell's de-
livery which netted them 5 runs and
gave them what appeared to be
substantial lead when Goodell
frightened up and remained unhit
able for the balance of the game.
In the 9th inning the Night or
ganization took advantage of two
passes and scored three runs on a
triple and a single giving them
lead which their opponents were
never able to catch up.
The game went for full seven in
nlngs and was one of the best play
ed to date.

Slowly from the water there came a

Hans remembered the story Of Jonah
and the whale and tried 10 unwind the
fishing line from his wrist, but before
he could do so the huge fish caught the
line in its mouth and ierked poor Hans
into the water
Turning around, the big fish began
to swim away, dragging Hans behind
him at furious rate Of speed. The
bank and the land disappeared from
his view as they dashed along Hans
