Sackett's election to the Senate
really brings him into the political
arena as an officeholder for the first
time, although he has for many years

Sackett, then head of the Louisville
Board Of Trade. was appointed Fed
eral food administrator for Ken
lucky by Herbert Hoover, and served

resigned to enter the senatorial race.
Sackett is married and of the Uni

is golf. and he is member of the

CTheUhu
Of
Superstitions
DROPPING THE DISHCLOTH
By Il. lRDlNG KING

TT A woman drops her dishrag it is
L "sign that company Is coming !"
This superstition Is general in the
United States and Canada. In certain
sections Of the South they add that
"some one is coming hungry" and in
Maine they say that If the dishcloth
spreads out upon falling the visitor
will be a woman; If it falls In a heap,
a man. But these are "frills" to the
general mystic meaning of the dropped
dishrag. This superstition is analogous
to that regarding the dropping Of q
knife which has the same significance
"a feminine version of it, as it were.
Our barbarian ancestors of northern
Europe personified their swords,
named them and came to regard their
weapons upon whose faithfulness their
lives daily depended, as something in
the nature of superhuman companions.
Thus the ''self-unscabbarded" sword or
dagger warned Of the approach of
stranger and all strangers were "prima
facie" enemies in those days. From
that we get the superstition Of the
dropped knife and have progressed 80
far in civilization that we say "visi-
tors" instead of enemies"
In the conception of our ancestors
the dishcloth was to the woman what
the sword was to the mana constant
companion and main standby affiliated
to its owner by the sympathetic magic
of contact. In Scott's LADY of the
Lake" the sword Of Douglas fell crash
ing to the floor at the approach Of
King James. Had Dame Margaret
Douglas dropped her "dishcloth" the
Specification would have been the same.
This belief Of u warning Of the ap-
proach Of strangers conveyed by the
self-unscabbarded sword or dagger
of which the dropped dishrag super
stition is an offshoot-retained it's
original form in scope down to COM
paratively recent times and is today
widely diffused throughout Europe and
America in the modified form of popu-
lar superstition.
