FOR THE GOOSE

TOR some people it's hard to remem-
l. Der, in clear weather, that it's
gonna rain some day. And for some
it's hard to remember, when it's rain
in. that it's bound to clear. And yet
everybody knows that both invariably
happen.
You never think you got too many
hats, too many parties or too many
kids. But sometimes the neighbors
do.
Tears is a sure sign Of weakness.
BM even tears, If well directed, is a
powerful kind of stren'th.
FOR THE GANDER-
Even people that wouldn't think Of
tellin' you how to run your business
or bring up your children, III give you
a lotta good advice when you're build
in fire.

Springtime streamed in through

of Georgia were basking in the sum

But the pale woman at the table
sighed and pushed away her plate.
Nothing tasted right. She couldn't
eat much. She couldn't sleep well,
either. She was so weak, it was
hard to do her work. When the baby
cried, she wanted to cry, too.
She had not been well for four
years. Her husband watched her
with q mans helpless expression.
But his mother knew remedy.

CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
THE OsIER-WITHE
3, H. IRVING KING

ITO CARRY about in your pocket an
i "osier-withe' will prevent people
from telling lies about you. This SUI
perstition is quite common and is
based entirely upon sympathetic
magic. In some parts of the country
a small willow withe is used. Now
withe is flexible twig which is used
for binding something. BY having this
binding article about you you bind,
by sympathetic magic, the tongue OF
the slanderer, as it were-you are
armed against lies. For things asso-
ciated In thought are associated in
fact according to primitive ideas"
Among most, if not all, savage peo-
pies there exists a similar or anal
ogus custom the object Of which Is
to curb the lying tongues of ones
neighbors-for scandal iourishes even
among the gentle savage" and lying
tongues still wag in wilderness and
city in spite of all the osier-withes
which have been carried In breech-
clouts and breeches pockets for thou
sands of years. But from this prev
alent affection of being lied about the
withe-carrier believes himself to be
exempt and sympathetic magic is
sympathetic magic. Beneath our thin
crust of civilization it holds today sub
consciously, place in the minds OF
men which Is astonishing.

American building, regarded by
economists as the surest baron-
eter Of the prosperity Of the
country, broke all records for
normal years IN 1925, the Federal
Reserve Board announced today.
New constructions amounted TO
approximately g, 600, 600, 600, and
exceeded that of 1924 by 26 per
cent.
Experts consider the enormous
building activities mainly respon-
sible for business advances Of a
year already marked by the
greatest individual productivity
n history.
December Sets Record
Among the remarkable features
Of the boards survey was the fact
that award of contracts in Decem-
Der was II per cent higher than
the preceding month. Normally
contracts fal off the last month OF
the year.
Il Is regarded as important that
the building industry IS losing some
az its seasoned characteristics.
stimulated by the activities of Sec
retary OF Commerce Hoover, who
pointed to seasonal industry as
among the causes for sharp ups
and downs in the economic cycle,
contractors in every State appar-
entity are seeking to spread their
operations over the entire twelve
months.
For all Federal Reserve districts,
excluding the far West building
activities In December increased
over December, 1924, from $339, 000,.
900 to $529, 900 900. Increases were
shown for all but the Cleveland dis
frict. In New York the years jump
was 100 per cent.
Estimated construction costs for
contemplated projects in So States
during the year aggregated So. $780,
000, 900. This is interpreted by the
Federal Reserve Board as indicating
another record will be established
by building contractors this year.
About AZ per cent of the Deem.
Der contracts was for residential
construction. Although a consider
able percentage went for apartment
house construction in big cities, Of
ficiaIs said that the own-y6ur-oWn-
home movement went ahead rapidly
last year.
The valuation OF building permits
issued in New York city in 1925
alone totaled $1.O24, 900 900, about
% per cent ahead of 1924.
In December building costs In
creased slightly over Novembee,"
the board said. Composite prices
OF cement. common brick and Ium-
Der continued in January at the De-
cember level, the price Of structural
steel declining.
Wages increased outnumbered
decreases for the year.
