GOOD WILL ON THE ROAD
The Holiday season is a peculiarly fitting time to empha-
size the obligations of every motorist. It is of more than
pagsive interest that the Yuletide closes that quarter of the
yedr when automobile accidents, deaths and injuries are al
anannual peak. How horrible is the thought that as we ap-
prééich the days when the sentiment, “Good Will to All” is
aldrified throughout the land, the carnage of wrecks and
bodies is strewn more than ever over the face of our
codntry.
3 great deal has been said about the necessity of courtesy
in driving as an accident Driving at

So, too, arc they dictates of the principle of the good neigh-

CUT YOUR FIRE BILL
It's fun to watch the fire engines flash by, with their crim-
son bodies gleaming and their sirens shattering the air. It's
also fun to wateh the firemen at work on a blaze, with their
magnificent modern equipment, their amazing efliciency
movement, and their knowledge of just what to
to do it.
Both of these “pleasures.” become less pleasur-
able if you reflect that good, hard-carned dollars must come
out ef your pocket to pay the bill,
It should be everlastingly emphasized that we all pay for
fives—whether fite hits our property or not. All of us help!
to pay the upkeep of five departinents, alarm systems and
water facilities. AH of us who carry insurance policies must
help to pay the bill for those who sustain fires—over a period |
of time, and town’s insurance rate is determined by the vol-!
ume of its fire loss.
All of us must chip in, through higher taxes, to make up
the taxes lost when -a home or an industry

So it goes--we pay our share of the nation’s fire bill in a
half-dozen. different Authorities estimate that hill
could be cut at feast 80 per cent by the exercise of a little cau-

Jeered First Umbrella
in Seventeenth Century
The mmbrella, a8 we now know
it, was probably eastern in origin
One can see it pictured in the
sculptures of Nineveh and Assyria,
and it was not unknown in early
India,
In ancient Rome, the umbrella
was used by women and effeminate
en as a screen froma the sun,
The umbrella was introduced into
England early in the Seventeenth
century and became fashionable
amonges the aristocracy and the
wealthy.
The first man who ventured to
appear in the streets of London
with an umbrella was Jonas Han-
Vays, says a writer in Pearson's
Weekly. He returned to London
from Persia, in delicate health, and, |

“a defended his
face and w He vas subjected
to considerable ahuse.
AS late as 1784, Couper, in de-
scribing the rising popularity of the
umbrella, mentions that
its adop-
tion by the lower classes was suf-
ficiently novel to call for comment,
In many luge towns in Britain
the name is known of the first
izen courageous enough to appear
sheltered by an umbrella in the
streets of his native town, In L2d-
inburgh he was a physician named
Spens: in Glasgow, a surgeon named
John Jameson who, when {raveling
on the continent in 1871, noted the
use of the umbrella in Paris and
brought one home with him to Glas-
gow. He used it, much to the won-
derment and admiration of his fel-
lows.
Red Hot Cures Used by
Chinese to End Disease
In China, among the Nashi
ple, who live around the mountains
at the head of the Yangtze-Kiang
river, there is an unusual way of
curing sickness, When a man is ill,
he sends for the Tombas, or priests,
who stage a mock fight with the
demon of disease,
First a chicken is killed and put
in a coffin, and offerings are made
to the dead chicken. “Then a plow-
share is brought to red heat, Dances
are performed, and the chief priest
takes the glowing plowshare from
the fire, dances on it with his bare
feet and Heks the red-hot steel with
his tongue.
He then heats a pot of oil
dips his hands into the fire,
