Superstition enters somehow into the lives of many New Yorkers The new, tall apartment houses, especially, show it in one form. When the elevator reaches the twelfth floor the next, call is for “Fourteen.” This numeral, however appears at the very next floor, and the visitor from Iowa chuckles at the superstition which makes a 'supposedly cynical ettv eliminate thirteenth floors ~ numerically - from its residential and business structures. Superstition crops up in another form when a firm discusses moving tts offices The renting agent of the building may suggest a suite on a lower floor which seems ideal ly suited to the firm’s needs. After a personal inspection the president comes bark and talks to his staff on the desirability of the proposed new quarters. To his surprise, hands nre raised in horror. He is begged not to Jeopardize the future of the company by so rash a venture .as moving to a lower floor. One in stance after another of failures aft er such changes is recalled, and a new convert is made to the super stition that one should always move to an upper rather than a lower floor. The three-lights-on-a-matoh bogv has its devotees even among mech anistically minded college youths. When they light their cigarettes the one who strikes the match and of fers the light to his two friends will almost invariably drop it. still burn ing, to the ground, and for his own cigarette strike a fresh match Now York business men walking with preoccupied air down an ave nue often notice signs marked “Danger" on the sidewalk ahead and, glancing heavenward, see per haps a piano being lowered from an upper window to the street If they are typical New Yorkers they walk right over the “danger" sign and under the dangling piano. They arc in too big a hurry to mind the slight chance of its falling. At corners, also, they will cross the thorough fare against the lights and. with an agility derived from years of prac tice jaywalk through the thick traf fic. In the very next block, however, the same men will halt abruptly be fore a ladder, even though it be se curely propped over the width of the sidewalk. They avert the wrath of the gods by walking gingerly out to the curb and going around. Every occupation in New York has its peculiar bugbears and charms. Especially is this true of many stock market followers. On the first ses sion of each new year they make a special effort to make Uieir initial transaction a profitable one, even if the margin of profit be but a few cents. They attach great signifi cance to this and regard a small balance in their favor ns a for tunate omen. “A bull Thanksgiv ing means a bear Christmas” is an other supestition that is widely re spected among the Wall street fra ternity. Amazon Who Wed As Man To Prison: London Woman Ocnounccd By ] Court As Outraging Nature. Must I’ay. London — rite most amazing: masquerade which the memory of1 Londoners ended today In humilia tion and disaster for Mrs. Irma j Valerie Arkcll-Smith, who had long successfully posed as a war hero j under the name of ' Col Barker.1' She was sentenced in Old Bailey court to nine months’ imprison ment. Tills stalwart Amazon, who had deceived her associates of both sexes for years, met her downfall as the result of a "wadding" which she contracted in 1!>28 with another woman. Site was convicted of hav ing made a false statement in pro curing registration of that mar riage. It was this marriage of which "Col. Barker's” reputed wife testi fied that she never realized that her "husband" was not a man dur ing its duration, which provided, perhaps, the strangest feature of that strange imposture. Denounced By I he ( ouri. For it Mrs. Arkell-Smitli suffered today the censure of the court, the recorder describing her as “an un principled, mendacious and un scrupulous adventuress." "You have profaned the House of God, outraged the decencies of na ture and broken the law of man," he said in pronouncing .the sen tence. The defendant bowed her head and wept. For weeks the British public has been pondering her case. Her story seems to have been one of a wom an unhappily married who adopted male costume and induced a girl. Alfreda Haward, to elope with her. The outraged father of the girl pursued the pair and forced their "marriage. ” Promoted Flerself At Intervals. "Col. Barker's" specialty was ! posing as a war hero She first \ made her appearance as a Captain, but at regular intervals promoted herself to the rank of mayor and colonel. Her story of terrible wounds suifered in battle was suf ficient to explain away any suspi cions as to her sex. So complete were the details of her imposture that she kept a set of fine razors with which she pretended to shave daily. She was known widely as a keen sportsman, cricketer, horseman and boxer, and moved in good society with a cool bravado. Misfortune overtook "Col. Barker’ when she sought to recoup her de pleted resources by operating a restaurant in London. Bankruptcy proceedings were followed by dis ; covery of her masquerade. A Boost For One Shelby Newspaper j Forest City Courier | It is very noticeable m recent l years that newspapers all over the 'country are making consolidations in fields where two or more papers are published in fields which are only strong enough to adequately support one newspaper. By the merging of these papers it enables the publishers to give a better and stronger newspaper in fiery way, ! and makes it less oppressive on the business men of the various places to support the home newspaper. In 'the combining of circulation, the merchants are enabled to reach a larger number of readers at a much less price than when compelled to place their advertisements in two or more newspapers to reach the same number of readers. In look I ing over a number of exchanges I coming to our desk, we note num bers of newspapers which show the effects of poor support from the fact that their field is only strong enough to support one newspaper, wherein there are two struggling for existence and thus dividing the support of their home merchants. In these places, a much better re sult could be gotten if tlie undivid ed support could be given to one ! newspaper. It is a positive fact that a town or city is judged by its newspaper, ] and that a vigorous and prosper ous newspaper always denotes a live and growing community. The ; newspaper Is the mirror which cith er shows prosperity or stagnation. Our neighbor city of Shelby of I fers a striking example of the one vigorous rewspaper. which could not be obtained if the field was filled with two or more ‘weakly' newspapers dividing the support of the community. During the month of April. The Courier published four straight six teen-page papers, full of interest ing county news and the announce ments of the county's wide-awake merchants. What does the city's “mirror" show in this instance? What impression does it make on the stranger in other places? Does it not show at a glance that Forest City is a wide-awake, prosperous growing community and prove to the outside world that there is no lack of enterprise here?

New York.—Nine years make i a lot of difference in one's waist line—they have made a lot of difference in the circumference of Babe Kuth's hut they haven't changed his mighty cut at the hall. It's the same old Iluthian wallop. The Babe's legs, gradually yield ing under the crush of their 215-1 pound burden, are slowing up a bit. but that matters little to the home run king. He gets his swing from his massive shoulders and if the drive he hit into the LEFT field stands for his first 1929 homer means anything. those sturdy shoulders still can product at ter rific blow. That Ruthian punch will be more welcome than usual to tile Yankees this year, for the world's champioais' pitching staff is having trouble get ting started. Yet as long as the Babe is available to help throw grief into the paths of the enemy hurlers the Hugmcn's public probably will manage to survive the strain. The Yanks without effective pitching nre no worse off than many major league clubs who in addition to having no dependable flippers lack a Bambino to help keep up their won column side of the standings. What the Babe is interested in this year is his own home run ac ! count.

Water, it is declared, should be supplied at the lowest possible rate. The Charlotte water works are municipal owned, if memory serves. The Statesville water supply is also owned by the city: and that is one city necessity that the city should always own and control. The water supply should not be let to a private corporation 10 operate tor a profit. A common necessity of life should be supplied at a rate that will insure its liberal I use. I I' The municipal owned water plant should of course pay its way. It is not good business to tax property to furnish water Ter less, especially when the property tax rate is well up to the limit, or over, as it is in most muidpajities. But the rates should not be made with a view to a profit above the most of mainten ance and upkeep and interest on in vestment. This paper does not be lieve. as a general proposition, that municipal owned public utilities should be operated for a profit. In other words that n sales tax should be levied solely to keep down the property tax. as is sometimes done. That docs not bear evenly. The sales tax may be necessary if the proper ty tax has reached the limit. But even then the real basis for a sales tax is a tax on non-essentials, something that one doesn't have to buy. Levying a sales tax on essen tials ,on necessities, simply to keep the property owner from rebelling, is a nunsound economic principle. All of this is a matter of opinion. But whatever may be-deemed wise, or necessary, about other public utility rates, considering the rela tion of water to the human family it is believed that it will be agreed that water rates should always be held to the minimum.

MAN TO LIVE LONGER AND BE HANDSOMER • Philadelphia. — Peering a few thousand years into the future, Dr. ■ Ales Hrdlicka, noted anthropolo gists, in an address before the American Philosophical society pre dicted that man would live longer and grow handsomer. He based his forecast on an ex haustive study of man’s past and present. "Man will have a longer life, and an easier one. He will be taller. Increased size will not, however, tend toward what we would call giantism today.’’ Dr. Hrdlicks said. "The face will be handsomer. It is slowly proceeding toward refine ment and character. Eyes will be deeper set, the nose prominent and narrow, the mouth smaller, and the chin prominent. "Teeth will be small and dimin ished in number as fool is refined.
