u. were christmas carols Orlg1-
nally dances?-R. E. A.
A. Carols were originally dances
accompanied by singing and in the
Middle Ages the crib set up in the
churches at Christmas was the CEN
ter of the dance. Percy Dearmer,
writing in the oxford Book of Carols.
says THE carol, by forsaking the
timeless, contemplative melodies of
the church, began the era of mod
ern music, which throughout has
been based on the dance"
G. What is the average amount of
royalties received by authors for
their bookS?-T. L. H.
A. According to a recent compu-
tation, writer's royalties average
about % cents per book.
@. When did Henry Wallace be-
come Democrat?-F. E. r.
A. Vice President Wallace was a
Republican at the time he edited
Wallace's Farmer. In 1928 he bolted
to Alfred Smith. He also supported
President Roosevelt in 1882, and is
credited with being the major factor
in bringing Iowa into the Demo-
cratic column on election day. He
did not, however. register as a
Democrat until 1886.
@. What is meant by Indian file?
&C. N. E.
A. American Indians on an ex-
pedition marched one behind the
other, the one behind carefully
stepping in the footprints of the one
before The last man was supposed
to obliterate the footprints so that
no track was left.
Q. Where did the Supreme Court
Of the United States meet before 1t
came to Washington?-O. r. Y.
A. The court met in the several
cities where Congress sat: in New
York City in 1890, and in Phila-
delphia, from 1871 to 1900. The court
met in Washington, D. c., beginning
with 1901.
@. Why are italics used In some
Bibles?-P. E. K.
A. The words italicized in the or
dinary versions OF the Bible have no
corresponding words in the original.
The translators supplied these words
to render the sense of the passage
more full and clear.
@. What is the longitude Of the

A. Only one OF the methods of
this science of personal attack and
self defense is regarded as official

enlisted man in the japanese army,
navy ana police department. AL
thorities are of the opinion that it
originated in China but was greatly
modified by the Japanese.
@. What is the religion of China?
&C. H.
A. China has all the important
religions Of the world but none of
its own. Confucianism and Taoism
are considered by the Chinese not
as religions, but as political philoso-
phies and teachings. Buddhism was
introduced from India and has the
most followers, though its influence
Is declining. Mohammedans have
more than $4,000 mosques and
100000 members. There are g.
624,166 Catholics and 618,600 Prot
estants.

She climbed until she almost

Now the fourth bomber was
