Nurrii runs row more on the balls

Dark and liuht Moon

The United States weather bureau
says that light moon" or light of
the moon" means all that time dur
ing which the moon is above the hori-
zon through the forepalt of the night,
or from dusk to bed time, say II
o'clock T.. NJ. Dark neon or dark
of the moon" means all the rest of the
time, or all the time that is not Eight

usually have different theory. They
consider Tight of the moon" the time
when the moon is going from new"

when the moon is on the wane. The
fact is. the terms dark moon" and
light moon are purely popular terms
and have no scientific significance

"Pop" Not Important

Many people," says a Scottish
registrar, seem to think that popping
the question is the important event
in every courtship. AS a matter of
fact, in many courtships proposals
are never formally made at all.
Il have put the question to many
couples to satisfy my own curiosity
and have been informed that no such
thing was done-that they had just
drifted into an engagement.
Il believe that if some country
girls had to wait until their sweet

marriage they would never get mar
ried at all."-Edinburgh Scotsman,

fact that Liverpool quotations were
unresponsive to yesterdays late ad-

Assertions that the 1925 Russian

were offset by reports that some con-

that SO per cent of seed corn Is
