ODD SUPERSTITIONS
Superstition rules many peo
ple of the world, even in such
common matters as washing
clothes. Morocco’s women are
r ure that clothes washed on
Tuesday will shrink, and that
Saturday’s washing soils fast
er. Rumania’s housewives, on
the contrary, wash Saturdays,
but are sure their suds would
turn to blood if they should at
tempt to wash on Good Friday.
English peasants say a death
will occur soon in the family if
anyone makes this most tragic
of all our religious anniversar
ies her washday.
Russian women believe that
if they wash at Whitsun
tide much-feared water sprites
will show their displeasure.
Only in the United States do
women have no such foolish
ideas. Our wives and mothers
make no distinction between
the days. Perhaps it is because
manufacturers have made it so
easy for them to wash whenev
er they please. With electrical
washers in two-fifths of all the
wired homes and other power
washers in many thousands of
other houses, washday no long
er is a task postponed as long
as possible, upsetting the whole
home when it cannot be fur
ther avoided. Cleansing is done
swiftly and easily now, and ec
Why shiver while waiting for the
fire to start? Use old papers from
the Herald Office.

onomically, too.
On the Isle of Skye, it is said
that if a man dies and his fam
ily does not wash his clothes,
the ghost of a woman will ap
pear and do it for him. That
would be a washday even eas
ier than those in our rightly
equipped homes, but there is no
record of any “Skye-ites” ever
putting the superstition to the
test.
FROM AN OLD LETTER
During the Civil War a good
lady of Georgia wrote a letter
to the Columbus Enquirer, ex
pressing her horror at the cust
oms being introduced by the
“modern” women of that day.
Extracts from the letter will
give its general trend:
“I am a country woman. Have
been in your city. I was
shocked. I saw—you’ll scarce-|
ly believe it. I saw'—can hard
ly tell it. I saw’ women in the
streets with their dresses so
high you could see their under
skirts all around. My country
women surely will refrain
w’hen they are informed that it
is a Yankee fashion. Yankee
ladies care no more about
showing their kness than they
do their faces, and if you in
dulge in this fashion, in ten
years more you will be walking
the streets with your faces
painted as theirs are now. Oh!
be warned in time.”
Had the writer of that letter
lived in the present day she
would have had much to in
spire her pen. And possibly
would have wound up by bob
bing her hair and donning
knee length skirts herself.

A Certain
Match

SHIRLEY VAN DORN shifted genrs,
and settled back In her driver's
seat to survey the surrounding coun
try with zest.
“Don’t take It too fast, dear," ad
vised Aunt Victoria, who had been
her guardian since her own mother
had died ten years before.
"But I can’t crawl," protested
Shirley.
“You’ll be tired by the time we
reach Gardner’s, dear, and week-end
parties usually have strenuous ath
letic programs,” began Aunt Victoria.
“Do you suppose 1 shall like any
one there?" Interrupted Shirley. "If
tiresome Tom Manley attaches him
self to me, I warn you. Auntie, I’ll fly
home."
“You know," Victoria Brownslee
started, ingratiatingly, "Mrs. Gardner
whispered at dinner the other night
that she expected Ted Parson, the
shipbuilder's son, if he returned in
time. You’ve never met him, Shirley,
and you know he’s quite the catch of
the season."
Helplessly, Shirley laughed. Wasn’t
it bad enough to have to listen to
dull conversation of the usual sort,
she thought, without having to be
bored by another youth returned from
Europe and his tourist Impressions?
“Dear, I’m thirsty,” put in Aunt
Victoria, “can t we stop at the next
spring?”
“Yes. of course; and let's trust that
It will cool my indignation about
hasty and plotted marriages," Shirley
answered firmly.
Shirley drew up by the side of the
road and told her aunt to wait in the
car while she brought a cooling drink
to her. Crossing a road in the spring,
she narrowly escaped being run down
by a dusty blue car that flew with
powerful speed from out a side road.
A mild looking youth in drab hiking
costume pulled Shirley to the other
side of the road, and encircled her
shoulder with a stalwart arm to
stendy her.
“Oh, thank you,” Shirley said duti
fully. “You know, America might
have lost one of her rashest daugh
ters if you hadn't Jerked me aside In
time.”
“And one of her prettiest, too, I
venture,” the youth added, with a
wide winning smile.
“Tosh,” replied Shirley in her con
temptuous manner for flattery. "But
I started across this road to get my
aunt a drink. Now I see no cups.”
“If I may oblige you," said her com
panion. proffering a cup from a camp
ing outfit. “I'll risk crossing the road
this time for your aunt.”
“No," she countered hastily, noting
the disapproval on her relative's face
at this prolonged conversation.
She hent over to fdl the cup with
glistening cool water, and thought her
rudeness to the man who had saved her
lire was unworthy of her real feel
ings.
“Here.” he said, masterfully. “Let
me at least till the cup for you.
Miss."
“M.v name is Shirley Summer. And
yours?” she said evading the question.
“Timothy Torrence," he replied,
suppressing a smile. She did not
know whether he was smiling over
her name or his own.
"Well, good-by and thank you for
my life, which I do not value very
much these days,” she said, attempt
ing to disarm further talk.
“Good-by,” he said equally unper
turbed, “I hope to have the good for
tune to rescue you some other time.”
Shirley ran hack to the car with
out a backward glance. Strangely,
her aunt was smiling, and not at nil
Impatient. As she jumped into the
driver's seat, she thought guiltily that
site might offer to drive her rescuer
as far along the main road as she
was to travel.
Her aunt voiced the same thought,
which surprised Shirley. When she
called the invitation, he accepted with
alacrity.
“This is my aunt, Mrs. Rrownslee.
and this is Mr. Timothy Torrence,"
introduced Shirley. “Climb in and
keep each other company. I'm driv
ing as fast as I can to the Gardner
estate at I.aijghorn rond. If you want
to stoo before then please signal me.”
ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
i Visitor registrations at the
Territorial Library and Muse
um in Juneau last year totaled
5,086. Due to the depression,
the tourist travel to Alaska was
much smaller than usual and
the number registering was
some 2100 less than in 1931.
Vaccine innoculations against
colds and influenza are being
given free in Juneau by the loc
al unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary, in cooperation with
the Territorial Health Com
missioner.
Juneau experienced in De
cember the coldest month in
five years and possibly the fifth
coldest December in the history
of the town. The average tem
perature was about 27 degrees,
or about 4.50 below the nor
mal. There wa3 no severely
low temperatures, however,
and the month was compara
tively dry, with the average
amount of sunshine.
Seventy-eight fish trap sites
in Alaskan waters have been
| permanently closed by the U.
| S. Bureau of Fisheries, owing
to failure of the owners to pay
i their Territorial license tax.
Fifty-three of the 78 are locat
ed in southeastern Alaska wat
ers, seven being in the Ketchi
kan district.
The Cordova public schools
j were closed recently owing to
an outbreak of infantile paral
ysis there. Several cases of the
disease were reported to the
authorities. Children were al
so prohibited from attending
the theatre and group meet
j ings.
John P. Johnson, an oldtim
, er of the McCarthy section,
j died at his home there a few
i days ago, following a stroke,
at the age of 63 years.
Once again she shifted gears, nut
this time sat forward in her driver’s
seat, tense. Faster and faster, she
found herself flying toward Langhorn
road. She could not hear conversa
tion in the rear of the car. but did
hear low laughter. What a sudden
and strange camaraderie for staid
Aunt Victoria! As there was no call
for her to stop. Shirley thought her
passenger was going past Gardner’s.
She stopped the car, almost wilted
with the rush.
“We’re late already, Shirley," said
Aunt Victoria ns she emerged from
the car on the Torrence boy’s arm.
“Perhaps it will save embarrassment
later if 1 Introduce you to Ted Par
son right here. Shirley Van Dorn Is
her right name."
Bewildered, Shirley stared from one
to another, and then surveyed their
smiles with one of her own.
“Oh. I recognized her," countered
the smiling, brown-eyed traveler of In
telligence. And once again, a stal
wart arm encircled her shoulder and
she knew she would be saved from
the danger of misalliance.
Snake-Eating Hog*
Hogs frequently kill and eat snakes,
even rattlesnakes, and snake-infested
regions are often cleared of the pests
by Introducing hogs.
