Fires on Tyrol Peaks
Old St. John Festival

The Fires Of St. John, as they
are called, one Of the most theatric-
al of the peasant festivals Of an
cient Tyrol, have been celebrated
at Merano, Italian Tyrol, for CEN
turtles, writes Edwin Ware HuIlinger
in the New York Times. One Of
the many picturesque mixtures Of
paganism and early Christianity,
which abound in the folklore Of the
Tyrol, they are said to be descend
ed from the prehistoric fire god
rites, or worship Of the sun, their
original object having been to glori-
fly the suns annual triumph, his
longest days reign of the year.
They evidently appealed 10 the
imagination Of the early Christians.
They were adopted and incorporat-
ed into the seasonal pageantry Of
this region-when, no one knows ex-
actly. The festival is known to

have been observed in its present
form as far back as records Of
this district exist.
In preparation for the big blaze,
hundreds Of peasants work for a
week or ten days carrying wood for
the fires up the precipitous noun
tainsides. A few Of the SUBMITS
can be reached by trails, but more
often than not the last part Of the
climb is a hand-over-hand Chamber
up the face Of a perpendicular cliff,
with the fire materials strapped to
the climbers back. Only expert
Alpinists could make the ascent, let
alone pack a load Of irewoOd.
Until a few years ago there also
was a midwinter fire carnival"
which repeated on the lower levels
something of the splendor Of the
midsummer night fire festival The
higher mountains being icecapped
and dangerous, the bonfres were
built in the public squares Of the

the World" voices a common feel
ing when he tells Of one Of the first
Gutenberg Bibles 10 come to Amer
lea. It was bought in London by
Henry Stevens for George Brfnley
Of Hartford, Conn, and was shipped
with the following note Of comment:
pray, sir, ponder for a moment
and appreciate the rarity and i'm
portance Of this precious consign-
ment from the Old World to the
New. Not only is it the first Bible,
but it is the first book ever printed.
It was read in Europe half a CEN
tury before America was discov-
cred. Please suggest to your dep
uty that he uncover his head while
in the presence Of this book. Let no
custom house official or other man,
in or out Of authority, see it without
first reverently raising his hat. 1t
is not possible for many men ever
to touch or even look upon a page
Of Gutenberg Bible"

L. S. M.-Please tell me if l will
stay with my husband as we mar
ried without knowing very much
about one another and / loved an
other man. My husband acts funny
sometimes and / don't think he
loves me.
Ans: You can't make your hus-
band very happy when he realizes
that you love another man. Force
yourself to forget this other party
and put your whole heart into max
ing your husband good wife. 1t
is left up to you both whether you
make your marriage a success or
not. 1t can be done easily if you
try.

Gutenberg's Bible First
Book OFF Printing PresGl

The English Gutenberg Bible was
not an English translation but a
copy Of st. Jerome's Latin Vulgate.
Its importance lies in the fact that
it was the first to come from a print
ing press, asserts a writer in the
Montreal Herald.
Printing as we know 1t had its
birth in Germany. The honor Of
discovery goes to Johannes Guten-
berg Of Mayence, and his first i'm
portant effort was the printing Of
the Bible. A. Edward Newton, in
his work THE Greatest Book in

tops of hillockS and often on raised
stone platforms in front Of the farm
house gates.
Around these bonfres the vii
layers used to gather to exchange
gossip and talk over the state Of
the world.

M. W.-Did / do wrong by ac-
cepting from this man what l did
and is he really married? Would it
be better for me to return it?
Ans: Make it a point to find out
Immediately if he is married
if so, wash your hands of the af-
fair Immediately. It isn't neces-
sary to return the gift if you want
it but don't think for one min
ute that he is giving out expensive
gifts without thinking he will get
something in return.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-07-29

R. o. C.-My husband and 1 just
can't get along any more. Do all
men tell lies? l sure did make a
bad pick for a husband as / can't
believe one word he tells me.
Ans: You two just don't seem
to be suited to one another. He
doesn't feel that you treat him
right and you know perfectly well
that he isn't playing fair. A vaca-
ton for a while will bring about a
change for the better. No .

e. Ram thinking of opening
a little business in either Paducah,
KY, st. Louis, or Atlanta. Have
you any suggestion that you might
offer me?
Ans: Remain here in your own
home town and try your luck as a
Beautician. With the training that
YOU have had it shouldn't be
but a few months until you have
worked up handsome trade. Save
your money.

everyone doesn't tell falsehoods.
A. B. C.-The man l was going
with does he love me? Why doesn't
he try to see me? l called up
where he lives and can't get to
speak to him. Everything went
wrong and soon he will have to
help me.
Ans: Not if he can get out of it,
my friend. He is trying to drop
you from his list for he is deter
mined not to help you out of the
difficulties that you find yourself
in. Get right after him.

p. d. am worried about my
Job, in fact am mighty shaky
when l think about it. Do you
think l will lose out?
Ans: You won't make any kind
of change this year. The chief rea-
son that the other party was laid
off was because he wasn't able to
do the amount of work required by
the company. You have been there

A. P.-I weigh 125 lbs. and
should weigh 145. Should l take
the course through mail to make
me gain and be strong? What
skin doctor should / go to?
Ans: Son, it seems to me that
you should join the Y. M. c. A,
instead of taking a mail order
course. The "Y" will be just the
best thing in the world for you as
it offers swimming, boxing, wres-
Ting, and numerous other sports
that help to build a fellow up. Call
your family physician and allow
him to recommend a skin specialist.
M. H.-DOn't you think it is time
we start out on our own as we
have been living with my parents
a year now?
Ans: By all means get out and
search for a small place of your
own. Find something yourself and
ask your husband to look it over
a change is exactly what you
need and it will make your parents
think a lot more of you both to be-
gin standing on your own feet.
