An Old English Custom

Several centuries ago, the &c
slesiastical courts Of England pro-
hibited marriage not only between
distantly related relatives by blood
but also between relatives by Atm
ity. Thus, sisters-in-law and broth
ers-in-law were as incapable Of
contracting marriage as natural
brothers and sisters, notes writer
in Golfers Weekly, as were the
children Of husbands and wives by
iormer marriages.
The Useful Bat
Bats frequently invade atties Of
houses. Although undesirable in
houses, these creatures are really
beneficial as they eat many de-
structive insects. They are noe
turnal in habit, hiding during the
day in secluded places. The first
thing to control them is to find any
opening by which they may be en-
tering the house; and to close this
up with either boards or wire net
ting. Recent experiments have in
dictated that bats do not like
the fumes Of naphtholene. It is
suggested therefore that from 2 to 5
pounds of naptholene fakes be scat
tered in the attic. If this remedy is
tried, it should be carried out before
the openings are closed up.

Certain Qualities Are
Associated With Names

We have a wonderful way Of as
sociating certain qualities with GER
tain names. The name becomes
fraught, not as the rose is fragrant,
but as the clay is fragrant that has
long lain with the rose. Two great
newspapers took a vote as to the
most popular name for a boy and
the most popular name for a girl
And in the result the names Of John
and Mary hopelessly outdistanced
all competitors. But why? There is
nothing in the name of John or in
that Of Mary to account for such
general attachment. Some names,
like Lily, or Rose, or Violet, sug-
gest beautiful images, and are loved
on that account. How, then, are we
to account for it? Long, long ago, on
a green hill far away, there stood by
the cross Of Jesus His mother, and
the disciple whom Jesus loved. And
when Mary left that awful and trag-
ic scene, she left it, as Jesus Him.
self desired that she should leave it,
leaning on the arm of John. And
because these two were first in the
human love of Jesus, their names
have occupied a place of special
fendness in the hearts Of all men
ever since.

China's Yellow River Is
Life-Giver Like the Nile

Although chief, and
justly entitled 'China's Sorrow like
Egypt's Nile the Yellow river is also
a life-giver. Washing rich top soil
down from the mountains upon the
North China plain, it transforms
foods into farm fertility for the
next generation. China's Sorrow
was also ancient China's cradle
of culture" says the National Geo
graphic society. ''The Yellow riv-
er's rich soil deposits influenced the
country's first civilized men to be-
come farmers instead Of wandering
shepherds. And farmers the Hwang
Ho valley inhabitants have re-
manned for 40 centuries. A dragon
symbolizing the Hwang Ho is de-
scribed in myth as having present
ed the Chinese people with their al
phabet.
vital in the country's culture
and cultivation, the Hwang Ho is
practically useless in transporta-
ton. The Yangtze is navigable for
steamships more than a thousand
miles from its mouth; the Hwang,
for about Is miles. 1t is either
too shallow or too turbulent else
where. In the middle third Of its
course, local shipping moves in fat
bottomed scows and in primitive
RATS buoyed with inflated sheep
skins and oxhides, much as in the

Noah Was First Roman,
Not RomuIus of Legend

From no less an authority than
Professor Luigi Huetter, German
archeologist, comes the surprising
information that Noah was the first
Of the Romans. In fact, Noah was
the founder Of Rome-not, as leg
end has it, Romulus.
It seems, according to the learned
professor, that after his misguided
descendants-Noah's, that is-had
built the Tower of Babel, Noah took
a ship with his sons and landed in
sunny Italy. And there on the Pala-
tine hill he founded a city to which
he gave his name. He died soon
afterwards.
Then Ham, with a son Of Japhet
and another individual named
Games, who was there already, built
another city called Janiculum on
the Palatine hill About that time,
too, Nimrod came to Italy and built
his city on the Capitol hill; then
Hercules and Tibris and Evander
and others, all founded cities within
Roman territory on the famous sew
en- hills.
But the highest place Of honor re-
manned the Palatine, where Noah
laid Rome's first foundations.
It's just possible, Of course, that
this legend may have its origin in
a monument in Nerva's forum,
which was still to be seen in the
Middle ages and was known as
Noah's ark. But there-who are we
to cast doubts?

BritOns Take to Tubs

Evidence that the Englshman is
taking more baths is given in the
current issue Of the Geographical
Review, official publication Of the
American Geographical society,
which attributes a gradual increase
in the use of water in England also
to the fact that more automobiles
are being washed in that country.
The average Englishman uses
about IS gallons of water a day,
Brysson Cunningham, author Of the
article, states, while the average
American uses over 100 gallons go
ing, in some places, such as Chica-
go, as high as 200 gallons. There
is a decidedly upward tendency in
British use," Mr.. Cunningham
wrote. More water is required for
baths and the washing Of mo-
tor cars. An increase is expected
Of 20 gallons a head within 20
years" Forty years from now some
authorities believe the Englishman
viii be using as much as 80 gal
Ions Of water a day.

Printing in China 50 3. Q.

Printing is traced to China, where
as early as so B. c. the Chinese
had originated a method Of printing
with ink on paper by means Of en-
graved blocks. The question Of who
was the first to employ movable
printing types has long been a mat
ter Of controversy. Laurens JAMS
zoon Coster, of HARLEM, Holland,
is said to have invented wooden
type about 1920 and movable metal
type between l440 and l446. How
ever, it is to John Gutenberg, Of
Mainz, Germany, that is attributed
the credit of being the inventor or
at least responsible for the great
improvement in the production Of
movable types and for the crafts
manship displayed in printing his
celebrated Bible in lass.

FIRES ALLIES

Fire has two great allies. One is
ignorance. The other is carelessness.
With the help of these allies, fire
consumes about 100000 worth of pro-
perty each year-and, of infinitely
greater Importance, destroys some
10000 human lives.
Ignorance leads us to improperly
repair electric cords, or put pennies
behind burned out fuses. Ignorance
causes us to hang wet clothes on elect
lic wires, to use wooden barrels for
hot ashes, and to search for gas leaks
with matches.
Carelessness is an equally potent
friend OF fire. 1t causes us to postpone
needed repairs to heating plants, elect
fic wiring ect., ON the grounds that
well get around to it tomorrow or
the next day.. 1t causes us to store junk
in a%ttics, and to leave inflammable IL
guilds near stoves and heaters. 1t causes
us to leave matches where they may
be easily reached by the ignorant
hands of children.
The old saying to the effect that to
morrow may be too late" is especially
applicable to the hazards that breed
fire. Alertness on the part of everyone
would prevent the majority of Ameri-
cas- fires. The unpreventable fire is
extremely rare. Ignorance can be east
ly conqured if the individuals wills
