Why Canadian Aviators
 Have to Check Compass

Tn the older and more settled parts of Canada, the pilot guides his plane a great deal by roads, railways. rivers and other natural and artificial fea. lures shown upon his map. In those portions of the country lying imme- diately back from present settlement, where the typographical survey. de- rartment of the interior, has been car rying on mapping operations in CO., operation with the Royal Canadian air force there are no artificial features and the natural features to large eX tent are not shown on the skctchy maps that have hitherto been avail able. The pilot therefore has to rely to considerable extent upon his con- pass. This is one of the reasons for magnetic observations which show the variation of the compass from the true norih.-NIontreal Family Herald.

Why One "Touches Wood"

Did you know that the expression touch wood" comes from the days when many old churches contained as greatly venerated relic piece of the true Cross? The relic obviously was used in the taking of solemn oaths, the person concerned placing his or her hand on the wood. In an age when the church was all-power- full, all kinds of powers became asso- ciated with such relics, particularly perhaps the warding off of troubles and evils by touching the sacred wood.' It is in the latter sense that inc expression "touch wood' is used today.

 Adams Judrea

There is an old story that Presl- dent John Adams continued to appoint judges until the midnight before Jeffer- sons Inauguration. The Federalists had passed law creating many new judgeships and they were anxious to have them filled by men of their own party. Levi Lincoln, Jefferson's attorney general, went with Jefferson's watch in his hand to the room of John Marshall, Adams secretary of state, and found him signing commissions for judges. Pointing to the watch in his hand Lin dents watcl the 4th of March had come. This story, which Is well fixed In the legends of American history, was told by one or JeffersoE's grand daughters, but 1t Is not based on his tOrical fact, although there is a grain of truth in 1t. Adams did actually make some nominations for judges. and the senate confirmed them, as late as nine o'clock on the evening before Jelferson's inauguration. These judges were known among Jefferson's follow CTS as John Adams midnight judges. The Democrats, or Republicans as they were then called. got rid of the mid night judges by repeating the law ere atng the judgeships, and the repeal of this law was part of what the Fed eralists denounced as Jefferson's "as- sault upon the Judiciary. ry."-Pathfinde Inroyinn
