Airedale Dog Comes From
Aire Valley in England

The airedale, king of terriers,
originated in the Aire valley in Eng
land, as nearly as is known, the
result of a mating of the Otter
ham and WEIGH terriers. The breed
was developed principally by coal
miners of this region for the rough
and doubtful sport of fighting. They
were first shown in 1870, states
correspondent in the Washington
Post.
Truly an aIl-around dog-keen,
active, possessing great vitality,
pluck and endurance-he can be
trained easily or allowed to rely on
his own initiative. His uses are man.
fold, he excels as guard, is used
extensively in the West to hunt bear
and in Africa to hunt lions, and
proved himself one of the most re-
liable dogs used in the World war.
An enduring, affectionate compan-
ion. A real mans dog.
The coat should be tan with dark
markings and very wirey. They
should be from "a to &c inches at the
shoulder and weigh from 40 to As
pounds. The legs should be perfect
ly straight with plenty of bone. The
head long and fat with square, pow
erful jaws. The general appearance
should be that of trim, powerful
dog, constantly on the alert.

Talking in Whistles

The whistling language is "spo-
ken" by section of the population
Of Gomera, one of the Canary is
lands. In a remote part of the
island the people of the villages
communicate with one another by
whistling across the deep ravines
which separate them. The whistling
language is centuries old, says Lon
don Tit-Bits Magazine, and is pro-
duced without use of fingers. So ex-
pert are the people that they can
send and understand the most in
tricate messages-and can make
themselves heard four miles away.

Most Beautiful Spot

When Don Caspar De Portola and
his band of Spanish explorers
passed north in ITO, through the
region now known as southern Cali
fornia, they camped for night near
an Indian village in the foothills,
overlooking a fertile valley. In the
morning they awoke to view a spec
tacle of mountains and Towering
valleys that brought forth exclama-
tons of amazement and delight. The
Spaniards, deeply impressed, chris
tened the spot San Pasqual. One
hundred and four years after the
arrival of the Spaniards the settle
ment later to be known as Pasa-
dena was founded, being chosen as
the most beautiful spot in a land
of sunshine and flowers.

Smallest of Bird Family

Hummingbirds are the smallest
members Of the bird family. They
also are the only birds that can
shift into reverse. They can fly
backwards by changing the beat of
their wings, and the speed of these
wings is said to be FIVE times fast
er than the propeller of an airplane
in motion. Two hundred times per
second gives them a speed of one
mile a minute, and produces the
humming noise for which they are
named.

Egyptians Grew Boards

The Egyptians, a clean-shaven
people, grew boards as a sign Of
mourning; and the man who

During the Fourteenth century
bearded faces became so fashiona-

Where Spiders Are Held

as a Barometer of Fate
When one is a rolling stone, the
superstitions of the world are apt to
complicate life-for superstitions
are disturbing, paralyzing and often
contradictory, observes writer in
Pearson's London Weekly.
Many people dislike to see a
spider in the morning, and the
French have even turned spiders
into sort of barometer of fate:
Spider in the morning,
Unpleasant warning;
Spider at noon,
Worry soon;
Spider in the evening,
Hopeful meaning.
Black cats are not lucky every
where. In Russia they are regard
ed as bad omens, especially if they
cross the road in front of lovers.
Then again, the Russians ignore
the superstition regarding the color
green, but they don't like to meet
people with empty buckets.
In Italy, coral and sharp metal
charms are worn as a protection
against the evil eye. 1t is even ad-
visable to help the charm with a
furtive gesture of two fingers point
ed towards the evil-eyed one-un-
obtrusively, of course, for fear of
getting real black eye.
Jews, most skeptical of people,
have their own Superstitions. Some
would never put a shoe on the left
foot first, nor keep even slightly
cracked china in the house.

she wouldn't care about anything
that touched his personal life.
After all, she had told him plainly
she didn't love him.
At moments like this, alone IN
