Old Method of Travel
Called "Rtde and Tie"

Salmon p. Chase, Lincoln's secre-
tary of the treasury, showed
financial ability early in his life.
When he went from his New Hamp-
shire home to Worthington, Ohio,
to live with his uncle, he was ac-
companied by an older brother as
far as Cleveland, where he was
given instructions as to how to
reach Worthington. Finding he had
to wait several days for a coach
to take him as far as Medina, he
obtained a canoe and earned sew
eral dollars by ferrying people
across the Cuyahoga river, relates
J. Fl. Galbraith, Ohio historian. n
Medina he met two young men from
Worthington, whom he was to &C
company on their return trip. They
had come on horseback, so young
Chase was introduced to the ride
and tie" method Of travel. One Of
them would mount the horse and
ride forward several miles, of
course ou%tstripping the one who
walked. Then the rider would dis
mount and tie the horse by the
roadside and press on by foot. The
other would reach the horse. mount
it, and passing his companion,
would tie it and go ahead on foot,
In this way the horse was spared
a double burden and the travellers
made good speed.

The king of England ''never
dies All that is admitted is a
demise of the crown" and the mo
ment the sovereign passes away.
his titles, dignity and power are
transferred automatically to the
heir apparent, who from that mo
ment reigns in his stead. So, too,
just as the king never dies, he is
always of full age directly he as
cends the throne, even though he
has not reached his twenty-irst
birthday.
In practice, however, a regent is
appointed for administrative pur-
poses during the kings childhood

Neuter PossessiUe

Originally the pronoun "his"
served as the neuter singular pos
sessive. About the Sixteenth cen
fury this began to be replaced with
sit" Thus Ben Jonson wrote, 1T
shall fright all it friends with Dor
rowing letters" and Shakespeare,
Go to it grandam, child About
1900 this form, in turn, began to be
replaced by 'it's," with the apostro.
phe. Rare in Shakespeare. and not
to be found in the King James
Bible of 1911, this form became the
literary one by 1923. Later
in the same century the apostrophe
was dropped, conforming to the
-possessives of the other personal
Dronouns, and since then it has al
most always been written "its."

Trochomo Blamed on
Faulty Food Habits

Trachoma, that dangerous dis
ease which so often ends In blind
ness, may be caused by inadequate
diet, like scurvy, ricketts, and sim
liar deficiency diseases, according
to a statement from the National
Committee for the Prevention of
Blindness. While trachoma is spread
all over the world, the highest In
cidence is among people who have
faulty food habits.
The apparent contagiousness of
trachoma may be due to another
eye disease that is associated with
1t. On Ellis island, where there Is
always some trachoma and where
hundreds Of cases of it are handled
each year, no doctor, nurse or or
derby has ever contracted the dis
ease. Similarly, In long steerage
trips from eastern Mediterranean
ports, passengers with trachoma
never caused outbreaks Of this dis
Ease during the voyage, although
the conditions for the transmission
of a contagious disease were most
favorable.-Hygeia Magazine.

Ski Trouel Made History

Messengers on skis provided a
turning point In Sweden's history
in the Sixteenth century. When
King Gustav Vasa called for men
to repel the Danish invaders, the
cautious phlegmatic men of Darle-
carlia, the ancient Swedish prov
ince, took counsel and were not
sure whether they should respond.
Bereft Of support, the king started
for the Norwegian border, but had
not been ON his way long till the
Da%rlecarlians decided to throw In
their lot with him against the for
eigner and messengers raced after
him on skis and brought him back.
To that event and those men mod
ern Sweden owes her renaissance.
To this day an annual ski race is
held in winter to commemorate this
turning point in the country's his
tory.-London Sphere.

Explaining Military Salute

There have been several ideas
advanced as to the origin of the
military salute. 1t vas supposed to
have been the practice In Rome at
the time of Julius Caesar for infe-
rtors to raise the palm Of their hand
to the front Of their caps In order
to show that 1t contained no dag
ger. This was on account Of the
fact that assassinations were so
common in those days. 1t has been
suggested that time and custom have
modified this to the military salute.
Another idea suggested was that In
the British army during the Ameri-
can revolution 1t was customary for
interiors to before superb
r and equals in acknowledgment
Of their presence. On account Of
the clumsy headgear, this custom
degenerated into saluting without
removing the cap.

Motoring along a country road In
India, the attention of tourists was
called to a curious-looking object
by the roadside. 1t was a roughly
carved little image, mounted on a
small stool, with three legs.
The image betrayed no signs Of
expert workmanship and was quite
clearly the handiwork of some rough
village carpenter. The eyes and
mouth were roughly carved. and
vermillion paint brought these into
prominence. The little creature had
also two wooden arms.
Stopping the car, the tourists
waited until some villager came
along the road, and questioned him
as to the reason why this image
had been left by the roadside. He
pointed out that 1t had been placed
a few yards over the boundary line
of the village, and that it had been
there since the early hours of the
morning.
1t was an image of the goddess
of the village temple, so m m in
south India, and represented the
deity who controls smallpox. The
scourge had broken out and had
laid low a number of people, and
it was felt that unless the goddess
could be persuaded to transfer the
evil more would fall sick.
SO the little image was made and
removed outside the bounds of the
village. Naturally, the people in
the next village did not appreciate
this attention, and the custom is to
move it from village to village.
Then sometimes 1t is possible to get
a Mohammedan, for a small fee, to
destroy it completely.
Thus does the Indian villager
deal with the troublesome disease.

An Oversight

butchers shop, threw down a piece
Of metal on the counter, and ex-
claimed, Indignantly: What do

"Piece of brass-of course it is .
And do you know where I got it,
Why. in one of your sausages."
The butcher rubber his double
chin, and then said he thought h.
could explain it.
"Yes, and explain it you will be

Nude Horse

Dorothy and Sally, age five and
three, were visiting their grandpar-
ents in a southern Indiana town.
One morning they had been out
playing when they suddenly burst
into the house very much excited
and frightened. Being asked the
reason for their hurried entrance,
Dorothy gasped out: ooh, there was
a horse went running down the
street and nobody was with it. And
it didn't have a thing on, not even
a strap-nothing but just its skin

WHY is the study of the history
w of the kings of Israel so in
.eresting and so important? Ap-
~parently because the records of
It through the Bible are them
selves so remarkable. If the men
Who have given us our Bible had
Fritten the history of movements
pf religion and politics in the life
Of any people as these have writ
Ten concerning the history of
israel, the record would be I'M
kuestionably of Importance.
A further consideration, how
ever, is found in the fact that
israel, from the earliest days,
represented the idealism of faith
Ind progress. 1t is this that lends
especial significance to incidents
md movements in the lives of
these ancient ~Israelitish tribes
lYhose national life, in comparison
With that of the great empires,
night, on a superficial view, be
,aought of as relatively unimpor-
4 mt.
Old Sins Still Live
1t is surprising to realize In
reading these Bible records of re-
i'gious and political life Of a far
distant age the extent to which we
ind the essential problems and
factors in our modern life so con-
lpicuously reproduced. The sins
! nd jealousies and vain ambitions
hat married the course of religion
! I'D politics in this ancient time
ire handicaps to progress with
which we are still struggling to-
Cay.
The Indifference and hayward
of the people to the highest
ideals of their great leaders con-
tinues to be the chief evil even as
1t was then, and from the other
side, the impulses of honor and
righteousness that made men so
supremely and unselfishly devoted
to the commonweal are the fac
tors that still make for the sal
of the nation and for the {
advancement of the people in true
welfare. l

which time station VICES will request
the use of TO kilocycles, the channel
now used by station WBBM OF Chi

RADIOS FOR NEW ZEALAND
Three Stations Recently Erected in
South Atlantic Isles.

Broadcasting stations have recently
been erected at Wellington, Christ
Church and Dunedin, New Zealand,
which, according to the consul there,
has increased the listener interest.
Auckland also has a 500-watt station
in operation.
Formerly conditions were none too
favorable and radio equipment on
hand was in excess of demands. Now,
however, it is estimated that there are
about $500 sets in operation, the
larger percentage being American
made, although some are Of Australian
make. Most Of the listeners, 1t is
reported, use tube sets of at least four
tubes, but some run as high as eight.
With the anticipated Improvement
in economic conditions in New Zea-
land more interest in radio is expect
ed. Although the population of the
Dominion is approximately a million
and a half, 80 per cent Of which is
European, American goods usually
find a market there. Only per cent
ad valorem, British preferential, is
charged on American radio imports.
