Believe in Banshee
as Herald of Death

The wall Of the Irish banshee an
nouncing the impending death of a
member of some important family is
not yet thing of the past, it appears.
After the recent death of Baron
O'Neill, head of the old family of that
name in County Antrim, some of the
old neighbors declared they heard the
wall of the banshee the night before
near the ruins Of Shane's castle on the
shores of Tough Neagh. The castle
was formerly the O'NeiIl residence.
Baron O'Neill was eighty-nine at
his death and had had a long career
as judge and member of parliament.
He represented County Antrim in the
British parliament from 1863 to 1880
The Irish banshee, which is Gaelic
for woman of the fairies" has the
sole duty of announcing death in
certain old and important families by
mournful screaming or "keening" at
night. The Welsh and the Scotch also
have their banshees but under differ
ent names and with less fame than
the banshee of the Irish.

Menus for Community Dinner

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Church suppers and community din
ners are better than they used to be,
despite all the lamentS we hear about
the good old days" No one will ques-
tion though the excellence of the pies,
cakes, and other rich viands that were
brought to these old-time gatherings.
The trouble was, they were too good
not reckoned with, but overloaded di-
gestive systems had to be-the next
day.
Nowadays the committee of women
in charge of the community meal
meets beforehand The menu is talked
over and planned, keeping in mind cost
and facilities for cooking, keeping
foods hot or cold during serving, and
handling the crowd quickly. Then
each person is made responsible for
certain dishes and! serving arrange
ments. Plenty of everything-not an
oversupply of pickles and shortage
of bread-is thus assured. The meal
is model, too. from the nutrition
standpoint and is as well-balaneed and
wholesome as any at the family table
In winter there is sure to be a hot
meat and vegetable or fruit combina-
ton, celery or slaw, if salad cannot be
managed, plenty of milk for the chill
dren, rolls or some other attractive
breadstuff, tart relishes, or jellies and
just enough dessert to top off the
meal
One committee intent on having
everything up to high standard not
only planned the menu. but chose and
distributed recipes for the main
dishes. Consequently. when the foods
were assembled from various house
holds, they were all equally good and
nobody was disappointed.
AS center for the menu at com
munity meal, the bureau of home
economics suggests the following:

Filipinos Fear Visit
of Headless Spooks

Many Filipino homes are today
marked with white cross as a pre-
caution against a visit from three al
legged, black-robed, headless sisters.
The story of the headless sisters.
who are called the Tatlong Marias or
Three Marys, began to circulate dur
ing the early autumn. 1t spread rap
idly, and fully IS per cent of the
homes were marked with crosses.
Those who marked their doors said
that the sisters made nightly calls,
and that the person who answered
their knock at the door was stricken
with fatal illness. But if white
cross were upon the doors there was
no visitation.
Most of the crosses were drawn with
white chalk, but some were painted
and a few made with flowers. The
story of the three sisters has curbed
ueighborly visits in the evening.

Weed Fatal to Mosquitoes

aquatic plant that grows in many
parts of the United States, says Pop
uIar Mechanics Magazine. According
to Cornell university scientists, it not
only prevents mosquito ''wgglers"
from growing to maturity but actual
ly kills them. The specific property
that makes the plant deadly to the
pests has not yet been discovered, and
the plant itself is something of a mys-
terry. In some ways it seems to be re-
lated to the seaweed family, but in
others it stands alone in the plant
family, a sort of botanical orphan.
