Survey Shows Marriages
Drop During Depression

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the de-
preston on the marriage rate and
ages are revealed in a report issued
at the University of Cincinnati,
based on survey by Mrs. Frances
Meurer Deputy, of Indianapolis,
graduate student in the field of So
GEOLOGY. Mrs. Deputy found that
weddings were not simply postponed
when business conditions were poor
but frequently were prevented per-
manently.
Mrs. Deputy examined marriage
license application records for 1929
to 1888 in Marion county, Indiana,
which includes the city of Indianapo-
lis, and has population Of 422, 606.
A drop in the number of marriages
was noted from 1929 to 1892 and an
increase in the last six years.
''This increase, Mrs. Deputy said,
might ordinarily be interpreted as
result of postponed weddings dur
ing the first four years of the de-
preston"

Storm Gives Warning

When the sun, which had been
shining brightly all morning, be-
came obscured at midday and a
black pail enshrouded the city, the
$4,000 inhabitants Of Bahia Blanca,
Argentina, became terrorized. Rec
objections of a recent violent storm
in Cordoba and the earthquake in
Chile added to the frenzy. Streets
and stores were quickly deserted
as people fled to their homes. Iron
shutters of store windows were
closed and automobiles with head
lights on were deserted at the curb,
although street lamps throughout
the city were lighted. Families gath
cred in their living rooms and wait
ed for anything to happen. After
three hours Of blaclmess the tail Of
a cyclone struck Bahia Blanca, up
roofing trees, blowing down electric
signs and cutting cables, but no
lives were lost.

Hold Land Relics Found
In Spire of Paris Chapel

PARIS.-In the gilded ball at the
summit Of the spire of the Sainte
Chapelle, which is now being re-
paired, has been discovered cas-
ket containing remains of the relics
brought back from the Holy Land by
St. Louis.
The Sainte Chapelle was built seven
centuries ago to preserve these rel
les, and numerous ceremonies are
being held in the chapel commem-
Grating the occasion. The last time
the chapel spire was repaired was
in 1857; the casket contained doc
ument inserted with the relics at
that time. Temporarily, while the
repair work is being completed, the
relics have been placed in the treas
ury of Notre Dame, but will be re-
placed in the golden ball when the
work is finished.

Days of the Week

It is interesting to trace the ORR
gins of the names of days of the
week. Sunday, of course, was de-
voted to the worship of the sun, and
Monday was originally MONDAY.
Tuesday (Saxon) Tuesco's day
from Tuesco, a mythical person,
supposed to have been the first war;
like leader of the Tuetonic nations.
Among the Romans it was Dies
Martis, the day of Mars, their god
of war. Wednesday (Saxon) Wo-
denis day, the day of Wooden, or
Odin a mythical being Of high war;
like reputation among the northern
nations. Among the Romans this
day was Mercury's day. Thursday
(Saxon) was dedicated to the Saxon
god Thor, who in his supremacy
over other gods and his attribute
of the Thunderer, corresponds very
exactly with Jupiter, who's day this
was among the Romans. Friday
(Saxon) was named by the Saxon
in honor of the Deity Friga or
Freya. Among the Romans the
day was dedicated to Venus. Satur-
day (Saxon), Saturn, the fast day
of the deity.
