Early Superstitions

All these tales and many others gave
rise to early superstitions, easily ex-
planned in these days. Connecticut
tried to reform its Danes tThus-and
So, having a black cat. who rode out
on a broomstick on stormy nights) by
lectures and duckings, trials and even
prosecutions. There were dances at
Devils Hop Yard, Witch Woods, Witch
Meadows, Gaint's Chair, Giants Den,
Devils Footprint, and Dragons Rock.
That the terrors Of darkness frequent
ed mill villages and had great respect
for the Little God Bacchus twhile he
feared the exposure of the Church Of
Bacchus) may give us an inkling Of
his having den in Thompson tnow
Putnam) and that he had seclusion in
the mill pit at New Boston, while per-
haps he was on his way TO Purgatory
Chasm in Sutton, Massachusetts. The
effect there is wild, but can hardly be
said to be cheering. Old Harry want
ed partner so he set off with cour-
age in his extended search for a wife
but was met by The Unknown Cham
pion (WhalleyD and delayed; how
ever, he found his mistress.
From "The Devil in Search Of a
Wife," by Annie Porter:
His majesty, Satan, one morning
awoke
And found that his wife was dead.
He said 70 himself, 'This is really no
joke,
Ny household requires head.
She must be witty and rapid Of tongue,
Yet shrewd as the shrewdest Of men,
As lovely as Venus, deliciously young,
And careless of profit and gain.
But far more important than beauty
or youth,
Though of course want those as
well,
Are the virtues Of innocence, candor,
and truth;
The woman must be altogether above
suspicion"
SO the Devil set off on his anxious
quest
For a lady to 20 below;
But he found that he lost his natural
rest,
And his progress was terribly slow;
For the woman he wanted was hard
70 find.
And the cares Of his kingdom weighed
on his mind.
But time was pressing, he could not
wait,
Though he scarcely knew how to
choose;
So he offered his crown and his royal
state,
Himself, and his dead wife's shoes
To a damsel whose candor and virtue
intact
Was all that the Devil himself could
exact.
But when she was married and safely
installed
AS queen in the regions Of shade,
II Is said that the Devil was some
what appalled,
At the bargain be found he had
made,
And thought on the whole 'twould
have been as well
Had he stayed at home and married.
Later we may say he retired to the
weird Sutton Chasm, cooked trout ION
Sunday in Holy Water" and piled
heavy blocks where he might sit and
watch the dance Of frost spirits, the
aurora boreaiis. and lived an uncanny
life. Cleft Rock was sundered by one
of his darts aimed at witches. magi-
clans and insubordinate followers OF

CORNELL MEN FAIL
TO ACT ON DOB|E
Alumni, Dissatisfied With
Foot Ball Team, Avoid
Action on Removal.

Gloomy Gil' Dobie will continue to
direct the destinies Of Cornell Uni
versity foot ball teams, at least in so
far as the organized alumni of that
institution are concerned, it was an
nounced today after luncheon meet
ing, at which committee was ap-
pointed to make a general survey of
foot ball conditions at Cornell.
The alumni organization, now meet
ing in the Willard Hotel for its ninth
annual convention, denied emphati-
cally that it would take any action
with regard to Dobie, asserting that
they had neither the intent nor the
authority to take any action looking
toward his removal.
1t was generally conceded, however,
that the Cornell graduates are not salts
fed with the record of Cornell foot ball
teams on the gridiron during the past
two years and the luncheon meeting
today was called for the specific pur-
pose of informally discussing the situ-
alton and making recommendations.
The meeting was attended by Thomas
Fennell, assistant foot ball coach at
Cornell.
While the men were discussing the
foot ball situation the woman delegates
to the convention were attending a
luncheon In honor of Mrs. Livingstone

INSURANCE CODE
REVISION PUSHED
Effort Foreseen to Have Senate
Pass Measure During
Short Session.

An effort is expected to be made
during the session Of Congress begin
ming Monday to have the Senate pass
the proposed new code Of insurance laws
for the District, which was passed by
the House at the last session. Senator
Blaine, Republican, Of Wisconsin. who
has just returned to the city, is chair
man of the subcommittee inquiring into
the code for the Senate District COM
mittee. Senator Blaine held extensive
hearings toward the close of the last
session and probably will resume con-
sideration of the measure early in the
session.
The provisions dealing with life in
surance were ironed out at the last
session, and the differences existing over
the legislation relate to the regulation
OF fire insurance and the question of
permitting the mutuals to fidelity and
surety business. The question of revis-
ing the insurance laws of the District
has been under discussion in the COM
mittees Of Congress for a number of
years.
The pending code would give the
superintendent of insurance supervision
over fire insurance rates and would
enable him to pass upon the reason
ableneSs of the rates. According to
Supt. Of Insurance Baldwin, some of
the fire insurance rates probably would
be reduced under this code.

T. Wang. foreign minister, announced to-
day that the appointment of DR.. c. c..
Wu, one time Nationalist foreign min
lister, as Chinese Minister to Washing
ton was under consideration, but no
official action had been taken yet. The
appointment of DR.. WI to the American
post would probably result in the trans
fer of Alfred SEE. the present Chinese
Minister to the United States, to Lon
don.
A government spokesman said that
recent events made it necessary for
China to send strong man to Lon
don, post which is now filed by a
charge d'affaires. Since Mr.. SEE is con-
sidered one of the best men in the Chi
nese diplomatic service and had pre-
viously filled the London post, his name
has been mentioned in that connection.
The spokesman added that in case
this transfer was made DR.. Wu was con-
sidered as available for the Washing
ton post since he had been in America
for a considerable time as special en-
voy from China and was also an influ-
ential member of the Kuomintang.
