ARE RULED BY SUPERSTITION
Almost Every Act of a Roumanian,

Thus Guidtd.
Rnumnnln Is one of the favorite
homes of superstition, where supersti

cradle to the grave. Before a child

Important ceremony of its first hath,
given in a huge wooden bowl, which
also serves as its cradle, at the home
of Its godmother. If It is a hoy there
must be poured into the bath a sym

honey; if a girl the bath must con
tain feathers from the w ings of a dove
and petals of n rose to serve as a
prayer to the Three Spinners, believed
to be weaving the child's destiny, that
her fnotsteps through life may be as
soft ns a dove and her face as fair as
a flower. A hook, a loaf of bread and
a rod are offered a boy. If he chooses
the book he will be a scholar; if the
bread, he will be a thrifty, practical,
successful man of affairs; if the rod,
which is laid on his back, he will be

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper
Thousands upon thousand! of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita
ble and may be despondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing tin cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binchamton, N. Y., you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel

WELL CALLED AGE OF GLASS
Compilation of a Few Facts Shows
How Dependent This Generation
Is on That Material.
Without glass elderly persons would
be unable to rend or sew, short-sighted
persons would go about almost
blind. Without glass we should know
nothing more about the stars than
was known by the ancients, nothing
about the structure of matter, and we
should not even suspect the existence
of microbes.
Without glass wp should have no
photographs, no moving pictures and
no illustrations in our newspapers.
Without glass we could have no elec
tric light bulbs, no X-rays, no colored
windows in our churches, no thermom
eters or barometers.
Without pltifs chemists would use
porcelain containers, we should drink
out of met'al or china mugs, we should
let the light Into our houses through
sheets of mica.
"ilass," says the Scientific Ameri
can, "has been known from anlhuity,
but lis common use is comparatively
recent. This has been spoken of ns
the age of steel ; it might equally be
pronounced the age of glass."

(Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUT DOG AWAITS MASTER
Do jou think a dog has a heart that
bangs heavy when sadness comes,
even as human hearts are laden with
the coming of adversity? And do you
suppose that canines weep when suus
of happii ess set and fail to rise?
Then Rive a thought to Jerry, the
once frisky little Airedale with the
wettest n,se In all the world and the
most helmed dog in Kansas. Jerry
doesn't run around any more, nor does
he find delight in rubbing up against
the little tots whom he still must love.
He just its wif.i his little heart
bursting, wni.ing for the return of the
best pal he ever had, Paul Jeffords,
whose scout uniform is laid away
never again to be worn.
For Paul is dead. If Jerry could
read, he'd lind the story In the reports
of the war department particularly
In the short one which says; "Cor
poral Paul Jeffords, tine Hundred and
Thirty-seventh infantry, killed In ac
tion In the Argonne Forest."
But Jerry doesn't know that. He's
waiting, even though the papers have
told that Paul, true scout that he was,
went West in the glory of scout
like heroism; that he cast himself
through fire to certain death, dying
for duty; that General Tcrshing him
self hallowed his memory hy reward
ing him posthumously with the dis
tinguished service cross.
But dogs can't read ; so Jerry just
sits on his hind paws and waits, sniff
ing hopefully day in and day out.
Perhaps, up there, Paul, too, is wait
ing. True friends are ever true.
SCOUTS IN VICTORY PARADE.
In the great Victory parade In Lon
don of the forces that successfully
carried on the war, the boy scouts
were given a place of honor. As a
unit in the splendid naval force, the
sea scouts appeared tinder their own
flag, on their own merits.
They had been accorded this priv
ilege in recognition of the wark done
hy thetn for the country in carrying
out coast-watching duties during the
war. They were the more remarkable
in being the only boys' organization
taking part in the parade.
In the preparation of the great pa
rade the boy scouts were again utilized
behind the scenes by the authorities.
With the troops of ten different na
tionalities assembled for the occasion,
there was a great need of guides, or
derlies, first-aiders and the other gen
erally useful helpers. The authorities,
as is now becoming their nature,
turned to the hoy scouts for help and
did not turn in vain. Some 1,7110
scouts were employed on this duty dur
ing the week, and they acquitted them
selves well.
SCOUT EXHIBIT FOR K. OF C.
The national movement looking to
the organization of troops of the Boy
Scouts of America in Catholic churches
was given Impetus in Louisville, Ky.,
by an official demonstration under the
auspices of Louisville council, Boy
Scouts of America, in the Knights of
Columbus building.
The demonstration was arranged hy
the local organization of the Knights
of Columbus as a result of a public let
ter, in which Cardinal Gibbons, the
great Cntholic leader in America,
praised the good work of the boy scout
movement nnd urged the formation of
scout troops in Catholic churches
whenever feasible.
Louisville has for some time had a
scout troop in a Catholic church, this
being the St. Francis of Rome church
In the Kast end, and enjoyed the dis
tinction of being one of a veiy few
cities in America boasting scout units
of this kind.
SCOUT OFFSETS SNAKE BITE
Bitten by a copperhead snake while
picking raspberries near his home,
near Northumberland, Pa., Myron
Hopewell, seven years old, was saved
from death by the prompt action of
his brother, David Hopewell, fifteen
years old.
The child was standing far in among
the bushes, when he felt a twinge of
pain, nnd looking down saw the snnke
with his fangs fast in his foot.
His brother attracted hy his screams
ran to his aid and killed the snake,
which was two feet long. He than cut
the skin on the boy's foot where the
fangs entered, causing It to bleed
freely.
Doctors say this saved the hoy's life,
and he did not get sick as a result of
the ropt lie's attack. David Hopewell
is a boy scout and learned his first
aid methods while a member of the
Northumberland troop.
WHAT KEEPS SCOUTS BUSY.
Scout Troop No. 5 of Highland Park,
Mich., were the first ones' to clear the
ground for the new church home.
Scouts' in Los Angeles collected tons
of brush seed to be used In sowing
over a burned area with a vie' to

The unsightly ruins left after a big

FINDING WEAR OF HIGHWAYS
Instrument Recently Designed and
Made to Determine Wear of Con
crete and Other Roads.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture )
Every user of concrete and other
improved highways will be interested
In an instrument which has recently
been designed and made in the re
search division of the bureau of pub
lic roads, for measuring wear of con
crete and other surfacos. It is an
ticipated that from readings made
with this Instrument a large amount
of valuable duta may be collected not
only regarding concrete roads, but al
so concerning brick, macadam, nnd
other types of surfaces. The instru
ment consists essentially of two bear
ing plates each 2 Inches in diameter,
pivoted on uniform joints to a span
ner 11 inches long. In the mid
point Is mounted a micrometer whose
plunger has a travel of 1 inch and
whose dial is graduated to read to
a
Measures Wear of Roads.
one one-thousandth of an inch. In
order to form a base to which meas
urements can be referred from year
to year, brass plugs are set in the
pavement where readings are desired.
Readings are taken by resting the
bearing plates on the road's surface
and allowing the plunger to rest on
the base plate of the plug.. The in
strument is plumbed with the aid of
a level and the spanner bar Is held
parallel to the center line of the road.
Other readings may be taken with the
bar at right ati.-les to the center line
of the road.
An important advantage of this in
strument is that accurate data can be
acquired rapidly and without Inter
rupting traffic. The base plate in the
pavement is protected between read
ings by covering It with cotton waste
and topping with putty. The brass
plugs are readily set in any pavement
while it is being laid, and at any fu
ture time by drilling holes with star
drills and setting the plug in cement
grout.
PAY ATTENTION TO ROADSIDE
It Should Be One of First Places by
Which Appearance of the Farm
Is Improved.
Some farmers evidently consider the
roadside along their farms as distinct
ly separate from and wholly outside of
their jurisdiction, and any time or la
bor expended in keeping it up as so
much gratuitously donated to the pub
lic. Every farmer should consider the
roadside along his farm as deserving
as much of his attention as the farm
itself. He should consider the road
the "front way" to his farm, and in
stead of its receiving secondary atten
tion, it should be one of the first places
by which the appearance of the farm is
improved.

universally developed to the point

Truck owners know that good roads
