Good Friday Beliefs
in Parts, of England

How Good Friday got its name is
matter that is often discussed. The
word Friday is really the strangest
part of the name of so solemn a date
In the Christian calendar. Few realize
that in saying Friday they are COM
memorating a pagan deity, Freya. the
Scandinavian Venus.
In France Good Friday Is called
Passion Friday; in Germany, Quiet
Friday; and in Italy, the Blessed FRI
day.
Good Friday in former days enabled
the careful citizen to save his fire in
surance policy, for it was believed that
an egg laid on that day would extin-
guish any fire on which it was thrown.
Bread Baked on Good Friday was
supposed to have it's protective value,
for 1t was believed that three loaves
put in a heap of corn would prevent
the latter from being devoured by rats
and mice. An infant born on Good
Friday was supposed to possess the
power of curing feyers.
There are some things to be avoided
on Good Friday. West-country peo-
ple consider 1t a sin to wash any
clothes on that day. They declare
that should you do so you are likely
to lose your most valued possession be-
fore the year is out.-London Answers.

An Old Map

The family was enjoying delicious
pineapple dessert for dinner. A young
er member of the circle inquired of his
wise father where most Of the pine
apple came from. The father ex-
planned that most of 1t came from the
Hawaiian islands In the Atlantic"
ocean. An older daughter told her
father he was mistaken about their
location. After a heated argument an
old geography was found In the attic.
The daughter soon found the Hawaiian
Islands In the Pacific ocean.

We Are All Bores

An outstanding fact In life is that
we bore each other: the habits and
notions of many worthy people drive
other fairly worthy people to distrac-
ton. Most books, most plays, most
events public and private, bore US.
Popularity is to be fairly agreeable
to a few, and unknown to the many.
The old are tiresome to the young.
I doubt if they realize it, but the
young are tiresome to the old.
The time men and women do not
devote to denouncing each other, they
devote to seeking and boring each
other. Always remember that what
ever you do, and wherever you go,
you are a pest to many. Therefore be-

Chief Executive Satu
Point of Good Joke

One of the first things Washington
learned of Willard Fillmore when he
assembled to the Presidency upon the
death of Zachary Taylor, in 1850, was
that Fillmore possessed keen sense
Of humor.
Shortly after taking the oath of Of
fee 1t became necessary that the
President purchase new coach. Be
cause of the dignity of his position,
Fillmore thought the coach should be
somewhat out of the ordinary, and
sent an old White House servant, Ed
ward Moran by name, to shop about.
Moran eventually learned that a
wealthy citizen of Washington was
about to leave the city and wished to
dispose of his elegant equipage, which
seemed to him quite the thing he was
seeking.
The President viewed the coach
and liked it immensely, but How
will It do for President of the
United States to be riding around In
q secondhand carriageT he asked
Moran.
Moran could not resist the oppor
tunity. 'Sure," he replied, you're
only a secondhand President"
Fillmore thought this remark was
one of the wittiest he had ever heard,
and told it on himself so often that
be became known among his friends
as the secondhand President" In
cidentally, he bought the coach and
used it during his three-year tenure
Of office.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Phrase Long in Use

"Full as tick" refers to the habits
OF the creatures called ticks, which
are biologically degraded species Of
the same family as spiders. They at
tach themselves to persons and ami
mails to suck blood; when they are
full they drop off. The phrase has no
reference to bed tick, as often err
roneously supposed. Full as a tick"
is very old in the English language.

spectors and foremen" says the

partment. Leading highway en-
gineers in various sections of the
country were associated in making
the survey.
Assails Politicians
The report states that in many
localities politicians are hindering
competent highway engineers by
forcing the appointment of unquali-
fled inspectors and foremen who
are put in charge of expensive
construction and repair jobs when
they are utterly untitled for such
work which requires specialized
training and experience. In this
way engineering control is reduced
to nothing more than what is
politely termed-t'window dressing"
The outstanding causes of, poor
pavements are said to be due to
lack of control over construction,
Inadequate foundation and lack of
proper provision to remedy poor
sub-soil conditions. Lack OF con-
troll over construction is said to
be the outstanding cause of poor
pavements and one that will never
be corrected until highway work is
divorced from politics. This is
stated to be a problem for the high.
way users to solve, while the other
two are put up to the engineers.
Maintenance Praised
In discussing maintenance of
highways throughout the country
the report states:
Generally speaking. the main
tenan nee on the State highway sys-
TENS IS OF high standard and the
pavements are kept in good condi-
ton.
THE average maintenance Of the
country roads is only fair and IN
the bOrOughs and townships it is
generally poor.
The maintenance in some of the
cities IS very good, while in many
others it is poor.
Lack OF adequate maintenance

pavements. but to conserve the in
vestment in payements. results in
an enormous waste of public
funds"
