Legends Around Salt
Traced to Ancients

There are almost as many salt SUI
perstitions and legends as there are
stories of bread. says the Montreal
Herald.
1t Is a common thing to say that a
person is not worth his salt and that
it is bad luck to spill salt, but where
did these ideas originate? In India
people do gather the sea water and
from it evaporate their own salt, and
by their ability TO prepare the salt
their value as salt workers Is de-
termined. Our counterpart Of this
expression is He isn't worth his keep"
The spilling superstition may have
come to us from the Arabs or from
the Hebrews, although they hold some
what divergent views as to what
causes the bad luck. In the Hebraic
language, SALTY" is synonymous with
barren" and in the ancient biblical
times it was customary to spill salt
over the site of q destroyed city be-
cause it would render the ground
barren and the city. therefore, UNFIT
for rebuilding. Consequently, the idea
developed that to spill salt was bad
and from that has come the modern
superstition.
On the other hand, among the Far
Eastern nations salt Is recognized as
an emblem of friendship, and so it is
easy to understand how the spilling
of salt would be construed as an un-
friendly gesture and would lead to
the superstition that such an acci-
dent would foretell quarrel.

Real Macbeth's Estate

GLASGOW, Scotland (P.-Histori-

Quezon Visualizing
New University City

MANILA, P. I. P.-Manuel L.
.Quezon, President of the Philippine
Commonwealth, visualizes the rising of
new city in the islands with the
University of the Philippines as its

The President has proposed that the
new city. of easy access to Manila, be
created in Tagaytay is sufficient space
can be obtained.
The idea. the President said, Is to
get the students away from the con-
fusion of Manila city life and keep
them out of cabarets.
Some officials Of the university op-
pose the idea, saying that many stu
dents. working their way through
school. are employed In M;tlila. and

from New York to Pittsburgh (350
miles, for $3.50.
There is, however. one factor which
may soon settle all complaints and
arguments-the upward rising curve
OF domestic steel activity. Already
1T has touched 735 per cent of ca
pacity. the best rate since the early
part of the depression, and 1t may be
higher by the time this article is in
print. AS demand for finished steel
rises, so does the demand for scrap
and pig iron. incidentally. steel mills
are guarded against excessive scrap
prices by the fact that pig iron can
be used in place of scrap, which, in
fact, is always lower in price.
Since scrap is sold in a fluid and
highly competitive market, where the
rules Of supply and demand take ef-
feet quickly. the choking effect of bet
ter internal conditions on the export
market is already visible. Where only
short time ago, 70 per cent of the
scrap on the Atlantic Coast was going
abroad and 80 per cent to American
consumers. the situation is now exactly
reversed, although the absolute amount
OF scrap leaving this country is almost
as large as last year, because of the
much larger quantities being gathered.
Another indication that the export
trade is playing an increasingly un-
important role in the scrap market is
the fact that while in 1884 scrap
shipped abroad represented about IL
per cent of the total used in the United
States. and in 1895, with record for
eign shipments only IL per cent was
exported, 1886 will see less than 10
per cent of the total 60 to other
countries.
But all that does not mean that the
export market is due for sudden ex-
tinction or even drastic reduction from
its present status. The increasing size
and activity of foreign steel industries
will prevent that. II scrap exports
are a problem. the problem is here to
stay.

MOSCOW (P.-The Soviet Union
has launched a naval shipbuilding
program designed to convert present
blueprint plans into the greatest de-
fensive navy in the world.
1t likely also will be the strangest
navy in the world. being completely
unbalanced fleet in the view Of orthO-
dox naval experts.
The backbone and bulk of the navy
will be submarines. together with
light, nghtning-fast torpedo boats and
swift destroyers.
The Bolshevists already are at work
on a few battleships and cruisers.
but no great reliance Is to be placed
upon these.
The number, design and tonnage
of Soviet submarines Is the great
question mark in world sdmiralties
today. This information Is one OF
the Kremlin's closest-guarded secrets,
although the commissars last Janu-
ary did announce that submarine
tonnage had been increased 435 per
cent.
Now, however, the Soviets are utiliz-
ing their industrial progress to turn
to other forms of ship construction
to bulwark the submarine fleets pres
emily based at Kronstadt and Vlad-
iyostok, guarding Leningrad and ST.
IBERIA.
The Soviets now openly boast the
Pacific has been rendered impreg-
nable to enemy attack. A completely
separate, independent submarine feet
has been built up there which the
Bolshevists publicly avow can repel
any attack that may be made.

armada the Russians have profted

Dealers in the interior have not
proflted directly from foreign ship
ments because freight rates interpose
an insurmountable barrier to long
overland travel of scrap. Similarly,
scrap flows inward from the coast
profitably only when the price is high,
as it Is at present. Here are the
reasons. A ton Of steel can be shipped

a defeat of these proportions. The
Democrats we're showed under during
the Civil War years, but, even then,
when the Southern States were ex-
cluded from participation in national

Republicans and Democrats remained
fairly close. The Democrats did
badly in 1900, 1904 and 1908. and
again in 1920, 1924 and 1928. But in
all of these, excepting the Hoover
Smith contest Of 1928, the Democrats

of the solid South, which meant m
