2 HORSES TOTAL
l6O HORSEPOWER

London.-Two horses totallinG
100 horsepower were exhibited re-
Gently at the Shire horse show
here.
The figure of so horsepower for
each of these horses was arrived
at from the fact that they pulled
weight of 20 tons. including
their own combined weights, from
stationary to a speed of three miles
an hour in five seconds.
| The animals were from the stud
which holds the worlds record for
the weight pulled by two horses,
wagon of IS IL tons, and their
veterinary officer is confident that
they can improve the record when
necessary. They work in harness
regularly in Liverpool and ten tons
on the road Is their average load.
According to the veterinary Of
ficer a human beings best effort is
much nearer to the power output
of horse as originally defined by
James Watt. A Cambridge ath-
lete. trying out this theory carried
his own weight 20 feet up a flight
of stairs in eight seconds and it is
calculated that he achieved three
quarters of a horsepower.

Why We Observe New Years Day

New Years Day, now the first day
of January, has come down through
the centuries as a day of enjoyment
and as a holiday 1t was SO observed IN
Rome Ovid speaks of refraining from
lawsuits and strife, and of smoking
affairs and of white robed professions
to the capitol. 1t appears. from other
sources that the exchange of greet
ings, the giving and receiving of pres
ents, wishing good luck, masquerade
ing and feasting were features Of New
Years day in the time of the Empire.
1t appears to have been the one great
holiday observed throughout the en-
tire Roman Empire.
The Persians celebrated the day by
