camps. A total of $4,000, 900 was

The facilities, Commissioner
Taylor said, are approved and Ii

A breakdown of the figures,
Taylor reported, shows that the

for transients, II apartment
houses with a combined total of
249 rooms, and ia rooming
houses with a total of 744 rooms.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Anti-air-

either new guns brought on the

raiding bombers last night and
for the most part, prevented any
serious damage to the city in the

Banging away in grand style,
the batteries fired necessarily,
dispatches stated, and succeeded
in bringing down a number of
planes and driving all others to
other points before bombs could
be dropped.
Daylight raids this morning,
and another late this afternoon
on this city were reported. One
bomb this morning fell in front
of famous old st. PauIS cathedral
and it was feared that the struc-
ture had suffered irreparable
damage. Ropes kept the pop

Only A Guess
Many superstitions are dated
so far in antiquity nothing au-
thentic is known of their origin.
It's only guess how many mod
ern ones were started.
Some students say the COM
mon superstition that it is bad
luck to light three on a match
had its origin in recent wars"
says DR.. Miller.
IF a soldier lighted his cigaret
and kept the match burning long
enough for two or more other
men to get light, enemy sharp
shooters had time to take careful
aim and fire upon the match
holder.
People who knock on wood to
keep i'll luck from intruding,
usually after they have made a
boast, are observing a ritual that
once was a religious one.
Form Of Supplication
I'm ancient times pious peoples
touched a wooden cross as a form
of supplication", says DR.. Miller.
''It was prayer They believ-
ed the cross cast a spell of good
fortune about them. And so knock
ing on wood became an invita-
ton to good luck.
The horseshoe probably is a
sign of good luck because the
horse had been a friend of man,
Mr.. Miller says.
Other things, like four-leaf
cloverS, are good luck symbols
because a series of condolences
probably occurred in which a per-
son had good luck Immediately
after he found. or otherwise had
some association with. a four-leaf
clover or other object.
From Days Of Black Magic
Similarly cats and witches are
symbols of i'll luck. incidentally,
says DR.. Miller. the black cat SUI
perstition dates back to the age
of black magic when darkness
was a symbol of eerie things.
People looked askance at any
thing black.
In one state a recent study dis
closed 1000 Superstitions held by
various citizens.

gard to vuIneraDiiity of Ger
many's capital city from plane
attack was made all the more
noticeable last night when news
agencies noted a full three-hour
attack by R. A F. bombers which
brought additional damage to
many public buildings, the pride
of the German feuhrer.
Bombs fell on one of the city's
main airdromes, creating havoc
and other damage was inflicted
on railroad stations and trans
porting lines from the city.
Believed to be strictly re-
taliatory raids following the
Nazi bombing of Buckingham
palace yesterday, the British ap-
parently were centering their
blows to force Hitler away from
his decree to ''level London.
1t was reported here today that
the German people are beginning
to wonder about Hitler's former
assertion that Berlin's defenses
were ample to keep all British
planes away. So much damage
has been inflicted already. and
so easily. that there is mounting
fear in the city that Berlin stands
in constant danger of entire de-
Struction.
Other British attacks last night
were centered on the great port
of Hamburg, where dock facili-
ties were again damaged.
