HALLOWEEN

The winds will sigh through the
trees and upon their breath will float
the spirits Of the departed. The
witches and imps and other mischief
making things will be abroad upon
their baneful midnight errands. The
fairies will hold a grand anniversary
and through the darkness of desc
lated room a maid will see her future
lover in mirror
Next Thursday night will be Hal
lowe'en. It has always been the oc-
casion Of certain popular usages in
Christian countries. In the quaint old
days when wooing was done by the
fire place, when suits were homespun,
and automobiles and cigarette and
radios and bobbed hair and abbreviat-
ed skirts and synthetic hooch and
home brew had not been introduced
the event was one of the most pleas
ant of the year.
But the celebration of the day is
not now carried out as it was origin
ally. 1t has in many instances be-
come an occasion of boisterous mer-
ry-making and malicious destruction
of property. Too often it is made
the occasion for getting even" with

Dogs Life Is Saved
by Blood TRANSMISSION

Los Angeles.-Pal o. Mine, wire
haired fox terrier, is on the road to
recovery after a blood TRANSMISSION, but
hereafter he will have as much Pc

Sassy, a snub nose pet of DR.. John

saved the life of Pal O. Mine.
Pal O. Mines need for such treat

He thought the coping around the roof

but found out it wasn't a fence when
he landed four stories down on a con
crete driveway.
No bones were broken, but internal

its readers on the question whether
New York should have Sunday the
atrical performances, As ii stands

this newspaper printed ballots on
which the readers could mark an y

a deluge of replies-but scores of SUP

didn't seem to know that Sunday

Few People Make Best

Practically every one has from ~
to 20 per cent more muscular strength
than he is trained to use, Donald A.

health magazine published by the
American Medical association.

heavy weight above the head with one
hand for example. If person under

Desert Conditions Common
Deserts, in the sense of great areas
that are at all times hot, dry and
nearly devoid of life, are comparative
| ly rare. But desert conditions, in the
sense Of high temperatures and short.
age of water arise at times on almost
all land areas. Seasonal deserts, areas
that for a part of the year have an
abundant water supply accompanied
by a luxuriant vegetable growth, and
through the remainder of the veal
have no water supply and can show
only dry masses of dead leaves ant
stems, are common. Illustrations Of
such conditions may be found alons
any roadside In midsummer. They
are very common in places where there
is but thin layer of soil over bee
rock.
