This superstition is, apparently.

gian god Attis, worship introduced
into Europe through the Greeks. Attis
has been identified with the Greek god
Adonis and by some, also, with the
Egyptian Osiris. At any rate the At
lis cult was a most ancient one and
profoundly Influenced European my
thology. Attis was supposed to have
met his death under pine tree into
which his spirit entered. At the festi-
val of Attis, celebrated in the spring.
a nine tree, the trunk of which was
wrapped in wool, was brought into
the sanctuary Of Cybele and young
man tied to the tree trunk. Then the
priests and the votaries gashed them
selves until their blood covered the
bound man. He was then unbound
and the pine tree taken out and
burned. Originally the bound man
was sacrificed to represent the death
of the god, but later it was sufficient
that he was covered with blood. This
will explain why 1t is ''unlucky" to

What sinaName?'
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history;
meaning; whence it was derived; sig
nificance; your lucky day, lucky jewel
REGINA

TIME queen of Heaven, Maria, has
l. votaries called by the Italians Re-
gina or Reina. Reina was found more
frequently in Florence. In France,
Regina became RENE and Reinette, the
former also being a favorite in Ger
many. All, of course, are translated
to mean queen.
The natural conclusion would be
that the name Regina is merely the
Latin word for queen given capital
lied initial letter, but another explana-
ton Of it's origin, and one most gen.
orally accepted, is that it is one of the
many evolved from the Latin rego,
meaning rule. If such is the case it
has history as full of adventure as
an Arabian Nights and is indeed an
heroic name for woman to bear.
The first Rganar was that hardy soul
who, after ravaging France, was put to
death in England, whereupon his fierce
sons In revenge swept England with
merciless devastation. His name there
fore became dread one and in some
manner was changed to Rene. At
once Renee became popular as fem1-
nine name since the younger daughter
of Louis XII of France bore it. When
she married into tife HcNse of Este,
her name was changed into Renata, a
form which is very pleasing to the
Spanish and italian. The old Dutch
form, Renira, is quaint and quite
pretty. The Teutonic influence makes
itself evident in Reigl and Regl.
The aquamarine is Regina's jewel.
Much superstition centers about this
stone and it has therapeutic value,
since by its paling color, it gives evil
dence of the bodily weakening of It's
wearer. 1t is even held that its color
will stain the flesh against which 1t Is
worn as indication of some physical
arrangement. Thursday is Regina's
fortunate day and her lucky number.
The violet is her flower.

Corn Slower Silage Is
Good for Winter Feed

The custom of raking up and burn
Ing corn stalks is considered a huge
waste. While somewhat depending
upon local conditions and the feed
supplies, the destruction of corn sto-
yer is rightly regarded as a loss.
Corn slower, plowed under has a the
oretical value in fertility of about So
a ton, but this can hardly be figured
on the acre basis of tonnage grown
because stalks are hard to handle in
blowing under. The feed value is far
more than 50 a ton.
Feeding tests have shown that corn
slower silage-made from the dry
stalks by the addition of water-has
value of about two-thirds that of
corn silage for wintering beef breed
ing cows, and probably is worth 60
per cent as much as corn silage for
feeding dairy cows. BY corn stover
we mean, of course, cured shock corn
minus the ears. A considerable yer
centage of the feeding value OF crop
of corn is located in the stalks and
leaves. In trials at four northern ex-
pertinent stations the mature ears
weighed 4,415 pounds an acre, while
the slower weighed 1888 pounds an
acre. About % per cent Of the diges-
tible crude protein of the corn crop
is in the slower and about 81 per cent
of the total digestible nutrients.
BY destroying the slower we actu-
ally throw away a good portion of
labor and expense, to say nothing of
the soil fertility elements going into
the makeup of the corn crop.

Educating Workers

The first to advocate and put into
practice the education of wOrkingmen
in the application of science to the
practical arts was Dr. George Birback,
who was born in Yorkshire, England,
147 years ago. He was the son of
banker and educated for the practice
of medicine. While professor of the
Andersonian institution at Glasgow,
Scotland. he established popular lee
lures for artisans, thus laying the
foundation for the mechanics insti-
tutions which later on came into exist
ence all over Great Britain.
The first lecture at Glasgow attract
ed rs artisans who went away so en-
thusiastic that some 200 men attended
the second lecture and 500 were on
hand at the next. Later on Doctor
Birback's grateful pupils presented him
with a silver cup as token of their
esteem. He extended the course to
London, and permanent mechanics
institution was founded with Birback
as president.

Fairy Tale
WWARY GRAHAM BONNER


Now of all the make-believe horses
in the world Daddy made the best
one.
He hadn't four legs, it was true, OF
course that was a pity. Still, if he
had four legs he wouldn't be Daddy.
So that was something to think
about.
And he could make a very nice
make-believe horse.
He wore a harness so beautifully.
He cantered and galloped and some
times he almost ran away.
At least it was very hard to keep
him back. You had to say "Whoa" a
great many times, and pull at the
harness, too.
The harness was a beautiful one.
1t was of many colors and it had been
knitted. 1t was round and strong,
and it had lovely jingling bells upon
it, too.
Sometimes Daddy wouldn't go at all.
You just had to urge him and beg
him.
Once he had tried lying down.
But that time he had got up again
when he was given chocolate. A
