were born of the druidic day
when witches gathered before
Shaman, lord Of death, who
decreed into what animal forms
should 60 the dead Of the preced-
ing year. Early Roman tales date
this ceremony at around 800
B. G.
The ceremony, for centuries
marked by human sacrifice, was
held at the end of the pagan year
when the harvest was in, and was
a new years celebration. Great
bonfires were lighted and into
some were thrust humans. Those
who clutched tokens from the
flames won a priceless charm.
Only on this one night could
the evil spirits go abroad. In the

tres at bay.
From the Irish came the ajor

ing Has Stopped; Bank
Situation Is Better
GOLD SHIPMENTS HALTED
President Is Happy at Very
Great Change Evident in
Situation
GOLD SHIPMENTS HALTED

washington, oct. 3l-(R-A sharp
upward swing in public confidence
which has led already to cessation
of money boarding and the end Of
small bank failures Is seen by Presi-
dent Hoover.
Almost exactly two years after de-
flation of the stock market began In
1929, the chief executive cited yester-
day very great change" for the
better in credit conditions with It's
practical effect evidenced by . re-.
covery in wheat and cotton prices.
Evidence over the last week indi-
Gates not only has boarding ceased,
but actually $24,0o0,000 Of boarded
money has returned to the banks"
Hoover said. -. the small oank
failures have almost ceased for
eign exchanges are returned to q basis
at which it is not longer advantage.
Gus to ship gold abroad.
"The practical effect Of this rec
overy is shown in an increase In the
price Of wheat by 10 cents q bushel
and cotton by SIS to $40 bale"
Opening his remarks to newspaper
men at his regular Friday conference
the president said he was happy to
note the very great change which Is
evident In the credit situation" since
announcement on Oct. Of plans fol
the billion dollar credit pool tc
strengthen banks.
Obviously he was happy. Economic
conditions have occupied his time fol
months, almost to the exclusion oi
other questions. But not In some
time has he had so many Of what is
considered favorable signs Of changes
for the better.
Although he held prepared state
ment before him, he departed from
1t several times to emphasize his view
of conditions. As he read Of "a wave
of great apprehension in the Ullitec
States following suspension of thu
gold standard in England, he added
extemporaneously the real volume o1
this apprehension had not been ap'
preciated by the average American
citizen.
Coincidentally, as President Hoover
was visualizing improved public con.
fidence in this country, q somewha
similar prediction of an upturn Y

came from an official source.
At Ottawa. the department Of trade
and commerce announced q genera

creased and so did employment.
