A CCORDING to a number Of
"A legends among the American
Indians, the figure TO be seen on
the moon is that of frog or toad.
In Australia, there is a native
legend which pictures a cat in the
moon.
TIC summarize, the spots on the
moon are represented variouSly as a
man. a woman, a hare, frog, and
a cat. No doubt, there are still
other legends picturing still other
creatures.
Two things stand out as particu-
larly interesting. One is that the
habit of picturing some creature in
the spots of the moon has been a
universal tendency of mankind.
We find such legends throughout
the world. in ancient China and
India, in Europe Of the middle ages,
among the native tribes Of Africa.
Australia and the South Sea Is
lands. among the American Indians
and the Eskimos.
The second point of interest is the
similarity between many Of the leg
ends. A legend in India will re-
semble one in China, for example.
In many cases, this may be a CO.
incidence. But in others, it un-
doubtedly points to common origin
of legends in some remote day, per-
haps before the beginning Of hiss
tory.
While lunar legends appeal to us
because Of their fanciful nature,
they are material for serious study
for the anthropologist who seeks to
understand the beginnings of many
of mans IDEAS.

A Great Opportunity

The Anti-Saloon League has new head,
trusted by many citizens with their money
and. too often, with their judgment con-
corning public matters.
On the day he was selected there were
two funerals at widely separate points.
In Chicago a larger crowd buried gun
man than followed in Washington the body
of a man who had held more positions OF
trust than any other citizen.
More men and women pressed toward the
casket of a racketeer, who had killed,
robbed, stolen, bribed, than followed an ex-
President, ex-supreme court justice, ex-sec-
retary of war and Ex-Governor of the Phil
ippines.
And the coffin of the gunman cost more,
in money, than did that of an ex-President.
The league has been responsible for some
of the conditions which create this mon
strous situation.
In this state, it has elevated hypocrisy
and often forgotten real issues. 1t has been
useful. unintentionally, to those who gave lip
service to the dry cause and gullet service to
the vets.
forced is first to obtain respect for the law
through the election of men to judicial, ad-
ministrative and legislative office who COM
mand respect.
The only law that is respected is that
which is Endorsed by a majority of the citi-
zens.
No thinking person would defend the use
of alcohol. Every good citizen hopes for the
hour when its use will be ended as bever-
age. But no thinking person believes that
hour will come by trucking to hypocrites and
the elevation to high office of the time serv-
er and the insincere.
The new head has his chance. He will do
much to advance the cause he represents if
he will drive from the ranks of the league
those who bring it into disrepute. This would
be somewhat embarrassing for one of our
senator's. But in the end it might mean real
progress.
The real field for the league lies in edu-
eating the public to a firm belief in it's prn-
ciples. That was the policy of the league
when it started. 1t then appealed to the
judgment of majorities. Whenever any
group or force educates the majority opinion
to the beneficence of prohibition, it will no
longer be an experiment but a reality.
Every right thinking person wishes for
that day. The cause of prohibition has suf-
fered more from its alleged friends than
from its avowed enemies. Perhaps the new
leader will find the way.

Hare

THERE is an old Buddhist legend
Il connected with the hare in
the moon" According to this story.
the god, SakBria, assumed the form
of human being and came to earth
to beg aims.
Various animals, the monkey, tho
fox and so on, gave him fruit and
fish and other gifts. When he came
to the hare, that poor animal said
that he owned nothing but grass.
He agreed, however, to give the
god his own flesh and consented to
jump into a fire which the god
kindled. But as he jumped, the god
transported him to heaven where he
now is to be seen in the moon.
A slightly different legend is
found in Ceylon. According to this
one, Buddha once became lost In
forest.
A hare undertook to guide him
out of the forest. Buddha thanked
the hare, but said that he could not
reward him, since he was poor and
hungry himself.
IF you are hungry" the hare Is
supposed to have replied, build a
fire and roast me-"
Buddha, to test the animals sim
certify, proceeded to kindle q fire.
The hare jumped into it. But
Buddha snatched him out and
placed him in the moon, where he
is still to be seen.
There also is an old Chinese rep
reSentation of the moon as beau
tiful woman with rabbit lying at
her feet, showing, beyond doubt,
that the Indian legend at some time
must have made its way into China.

SCIENCE
Chinese Tradition Points TO
Man in the Moon as a
Matchmaker Riding IN the
HeGuenS.
BY DAVID DIETZ

AN old adage says that mar
N riages are made in heaven
but according to Chinese tradition,
they are made in the moon The
Chinese "old man in the moon
known as "Yue-lao," is the celestial
matchmaker. According to traol-
ton. he ties together future mates
with invisible silken cords.
1t is interesting to note that the
old Chinese legend supposed man
in the moon.
Our own traditions about a man
In the moon can be traced far back
into the middle ages. 1t may be
that both legends had a common
origin somewhere in the earliest
days of civilization.
While, as already noted, European
and Chinese legends refer to a man
in the moon, traditions OF the South
Sea Islands and Of the American
Indians refer to a woman in The
moon.
The Eskimos also interpret the
spots on the moons surface as
forming the face of a woman.
In Asia. the spots on the moon
are thought to form the outline OF
a hare. If the moon is observed be-
tween first quarter and full moon,
the spots do present a pattern
which, with little imagination,
can be transformed into the figure
of hare.
In this connection, it is Of interest
to note that the Sanskrit name for
the moon is "Sasanka," which
means having the marks Of a
boraw

The promise of good success" is
made only to the strong. Only the
courageous can come to terms with
life. Brave people only can feel at
home in this world and rejoice in
life, for this is a here's world. It
Is not amiable or indulgent; it
coddleS no one. The timid and those
who are afraid of struggle and
wounds find life difficult. It is
these who are the pesSimists. The
end of creation seems to be the
making of great souls. This world
is fitted to make souls Of that sort.
1t is to the courageous heart that
God promises his strength.

may take our full share in the
worlds work and hazards. Help us
to be faithful In those useful things
that are difficult and trying, and
accept them as challenge to our
souls In jesus name. Amen.

ROYALTY in Business

CONGRESS- Is Careful

CHAIRMAN JOHNSON of the
~ house immigration committee
introduces a bill providing that an
immigrant born either underneath
the surface Of the seas or in the
clouds shall have the nationality
Of its father.
And for fear that such provision
fails to cover the subject, the bill
further makes it applicable to those
born on any other agency of trans
portation."
Critics Of congress will please
note how jealous 1t Is In safe
guarding human rights against all
sorts Of future emergencies.
One could wish that 1t were
equally jealous in dealing with
some of the present emergencies.
The most delightful aspect of the
future is what we do not know.
1t is the one realm of existence
which allows the imagination free
rein.
Even Napoleon, With all his canny
instinct with regard to coming
events, could hardly have foreseen
what would happen to the necklace
which he presented his wife on the
birth of her son.
Not only has it arrived in New
York. and been sold for a ridicu-
lousy cheap price, but it seems like
ly to become the basis of most
interesting law suit, in which such
sordid questions as whether the
agent had a right to sell, whether
the buyer put over a fast one,
whether the diamonds had a vel
low faint, or are really blue white,
will come up for learned discussion.
What a descent from the royal
magnif1cence with which it was
first purchased and presented.

pullet we want steady, uniform
growth while with the hen flock we
must force every possible egg from
them before they go into the fall
mOlt.
One serious mistake often made
with the hen flock is that they are
neglected when eggs are low priced
in the spring. Laying mash should
be kept before the hen flock at all
times. Enough hopper space should
be provided. Twelve running feet of
feeding space is hardly enough for
100 hens. In addition to the dry
mash, scratch grain should be given
the birds once daily. During the
spring months IL pounds of grain a
day per 100 hens is recommended
This amount should be reduced each
month so that by September 100
hens are fed 6 pounds daily.
Red mites, or rOost mites, prob
ably cause more damage than any
other one thing to both the grow
ing pullets and the laying flock dur
ing the summer months. 1t is a
shame that this is true because
these pests are so easily controlled.
Paint the roosts every two weeks
with used crank case oil or some
other oily material and there will be
no trouble. Well cared for hens and
pullets have take nthe place of the
goose that laid the golden egg.

The Rockefeller Foundation has

successful, the legislators have
been willing to appropriate sufficient
money to meet the needs.
