ABOUT WIND’S PALACE DMMY, the boy who was having adventures, was very much excited when he saw the place where the Wind went when the Wind died down. He saw the Wind's Sleeping Palace which was In a sunny, hilly fleld, just off the edge of the woods. Above the Wind's Palace was the sky, for the Wind liked plenty of alr when he slept. There were many little creatures outside humming a low, soft melody which was very soothing and much like a lullaby, They did this for the wind, and there were Kkaty-dids, bum- blebees, humming birds in the chorus. Just by the door of the palace there Was a notice, It begged those attention to the who came notice and to pay Tommy z §. | —— Sn a 7 di » Tommy Jumped Upon the Wind, Rid- ing Piggyback Fashion. read it all.

Then he turned down a corridor to the right asd before long he was in the Royal Wardrobe room talking to the Wardrobe Chief, What a wardrobe the Wind had! There were costumes for rainy-windy days, for windy-sunny days, for windy-cold days, for windy-mild days. There were wild costumes for hurrl- canes, gales, blizzards, and there was one costume which looked like a clown's which the Wardrobe Chief sald was the costume the Wind when he went on his howling parties sometimes of a very windy “You've storms costume wore evening, heard him the Wardrobe Chief and Tommy said he had. “That's what robe Chief costume—the sleeves frazzled, the hood and whistles and Tommy had no many there was a how! at asked he weurs,” the It (31 1 Ward iidest all bells sald, was the w and covered horns, trousers with idea the Wind had w : that wore each And Above costumes, of them, had a it had here you for runn last week and ¥ be 80 back ing fore imve now di the Wind down! “Good for Jump on my the Mountain this far that’ goes off, day cape about him ¥u off the Palace began to sway, and the trees and ferns all bowed agaln nd everything which had to move the the again and been so still “We're awake Wind. hegar off.” cried now wide. How It Started By JEAN NEWTON THE MILITARY SALUTE LL of us have seen the snappy lifting of the right hand to the forehead and return, which 1s known as the military salute. It is a sign of deference which is rooted In a cus- tom prevailing perhaps 2,000 years ago, The military salute is supposed to be a survival of a ceremony observed in Rome at the time of Julius Caesar. Due to the large Influx of foreign- ers largely as a result of conquests and to other causes, the Roman popu- lation was composed of many races and castes between whom at times relations were rather strained, So, it was the custom when an in- ferior was In the position of returning a greeting of his social superior to raise his hand, palm outward, In order to show that his hand contalned neo dagger. This precaution against as. sassination was quite commonly taken by the so-called higher classes: and it Is the movement of the hand In ques tion which is said to have developed into the military salute, (@ by the Beil Syndicate, Ine.)

THE WHY of SUPERSTITIONS By H. IRVING KING SUNDAY’S BABY HERE are several current super. stitlons with regard to birth and babyhood which are clearly related to sun-worship. of them have al- ready been noticed in this series. The superstition which is general in the United States, and Is found also in England, which assigns Sunday as a propitious day on which to be born is one of these survivals from the days of our remote sun-worshiping ances. tors. Some The bairn that is born on fair Sunday Is bonny and loving and blith and gay, is the way they put it In Massachu- setts, and in New York they say: The ehilg that is born on the Sabbath aay is bith and bonny, good and Eay. In many sections the saying runs: “Sunday's child shall never know want.” This superstition is of close kin to the one which says that the baby must be taken first into the sun on Sunday. There is another common superstition which connects the sun with that important event in a per. son's life, his birth. It which says that “Thursday has one lucky hour, just before sunrise, for birth.” The superstition under dis cussion is a survival of the ancient idea that the child born on the day dedicated to the sun is under the ape. cial protection of the sun-god. We have dedicated the first and the sec. ond days of the week to the sun and the moon respectively, and the remain- ing five to other heathen gods: so it I8 not at all surprising that concom- mitant superstitions still exist in mod- ern folk-lore, (@. 1930, MeClure Newavaver Byndicate.y is the one Tea on Russian Trains When a Russian goes on a railroad Journey he takes his teakettle, And he takes his tongue, for the Russians appear to be constantly talking-—at least on a train, At every station, off Jump the trav elers with their kettles to make ten, The ten-making and the accompany. ing chatter usually last until the train begins to go, when the passengers rush on board, many after the train has started.—New York Times.

Ex- amples of the perenninls are aspara- gus, strawberries, rhubarb, perennial onions, ete, Now the place you plant these perennials with reference to the rest of the garden is important, Re member that these gardens have to be plowed every year. If a row of perennials is planted across the mid- dle of the garden, the short way, It is going to make plowing difficult. In this case the chances are that they will be plowed up. To avoid this dif culty all vegetables that are to remain in the ground for more than one sea- son should be planted along the side of the garden space, that Is, the side running the long way. When located here they enuse the least interference with the plowing of the ground. Garden Essentials Temperature and moisture are im. portant in having a good garden. Each of these Is influenced by tillage. If only part of the garden Is planted at a time, harrow the other portion at frequent intervals. Thirty minutes a day will usually afford plenty of time for working the garden after it Is once under way, Practice some sort of a tillage operation to assure a mulch to hold the moisture, control the weeds and Insects and assist the acration.
