TO parents attending the annual con-

parents not TO permit their children to

There is crying need for mothers

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 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 1t was believed that
an egg laid on that day would extin-
guish any fire on which 1t was thrown.
Bread baked on Good Friday was
supposed to have its protective value,
for it was believed that three loaves
put in 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 fevers.
There are some things to be avoided
on Good Friday. West-country peo-
pie consider It 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.

Moran.
Moran could not resist the oppor

Fillmore thought this remark was
one of the wlttiest he had ever heard,

as the secondhand President" In
cidentally, he bought the coach and
used 1t during his three-year tenure
