Relics of History Opened to
Public for First Time.
London. ? For the first time In his
tory the public was admitted to the
?acred precincts of the college of her
alds, when that Institution held nn ex
hibition hero to celebrate the four hun
dred and fiftieth anniversary of the
granting of Its chnrter by King Rich
ard III.
The Heralds, Clarenoeux king of
arms, Lancaster herald, Ilouge Dra
gan pursuivant, under the direction of
the hereditary earl marshal of Eng
land, are Inextricably linked with the
?pnclous days of British history, when
men were all brave and Jousts and
tourneys occupied that plnce In public
affection now filled by ball games and
the gridiron. Kver\ today the college
Is an extremely busy institution, par
ticularly when a coronation or some
other magnificent state function Is In
prospect. Its everyday work calls for
the qualities of artist and lawyer, poet
and magistrate, master of ceremonies
And arbitrator.
Horaldry Is a fine art which is also
an exact science, and It Is one of the
duties of the college to direct nnd
control the design of the crests and
coats of arms with which the most
newly created lordllng wishes to em
blazon his automobile and household
silverware. Further, the college ren

of history, chivalry and genealogy,
with Its ancient records and Its deep
knowledge of precedent and custom.
Stresses Value of Tradition.
"In times when many disruptive ten
dencies are at work the value of tradi
tion Is brought home to those who
have the stability and continuity of
our civilization at heart," Raid the
foreword to the catalogue of- the com
memorative exhibition, and that sen
tence may help to give some under
standing of one of the most amazing
and fascinating shows ever seen In
London.
The college of heralds Is so old ?
it was probably in existence long be
fore Its charter was granted In 1848 ?
that It refers to centuries ns lightly
as others speak of years. In this ex
hibition were seen pedigrees of the
Fifteenth century which trace the
origin of the Saxon kings back to
Adam and Eve. This magnificent vel
lum makes the Intriguing suggestion
that Adam "dyed of the goute."
Earl of Lemonade Recorded.
The college of heralds touches at
so many points In the history of these
islands that it was not surprising to
see a prayer book of King Charles II,
lent by King (Jeorge; while near by
was the pedigree of Admiral Lord
Nelson, and signed in the admiral's
own shaky hand. This tree Is of very
modest size, compared with some of
the vast charts which were on dis
play.
The negro slave, Henri Chrlstophe,
who bocame king of Haytl, created a
nobility of his own which Included
two peers with the high-sounding
titles of "the Duke of Marmalade" and
"the Earl of lemonade." The original
register of arms of this exotic no
bility was In the exhibition.
Among grants of arms was the draft
of n grtin\ to John Shakespeare of
Stratford-on-Avon, father of the poet,
and an interesting note in defense of
his granting these arms by the garter
king of arms of that day, when It was
claimed that they loo closely resem
bled the arms of Lord Mauley.
Of particular American interest was
the picture of Heralds proclaiming the
Peace of Versailles In 1783. by which
the Independence of the thirteen col
onies was recognized by the mother
country.

Avoidable Murders,
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
Accidents by automobile* seem to be
on the increase. Fatal Injuries caused
by automobile ao
eidonts Id 1033
'numbered slightly
over :'850,000, and
d e a t h s aiuouoted
to 29,900, an in
crease of 700 over
the previous year.
Occasionally, one
hears of fin insur
ance company can
celling the double
indemnity payable
on death by acci
dent. The premium
on accident insur
ance has also in
creased due to the
additional hazards Involved. We are
not surprised at this when we read
In a recent city report that during the
"first five months of 193-1 there were
540 fatalities, or IOC more than In the
corresponding j>erlod of 11)33."
Upon examination of exhaustive re
ports on automobile accidents occurring
last year, one is astonished to discov
er that the majority of these accidents
are not caused by misliaps to old or
second-hand cars, but to new cars.
Oriental Touch
There Is an oriental feeling In this
white crepe tunic dress for afternoon
wear. White dotted navy blue belt
and lacings through the buttons are
a strong co'or accent. The hat, bag
nnd shoos carry out the white navy
color scheme. ? From Milgrlm.
Had brakes or weakened parts of old
cars are frequently blamed for these
misfortunes, but Investigation has
proven this Is not true. If the blame
cannot bo placed on the condition of
the car Itself, where else shall we look
for It? There is only one other source,
and tlrtu Is the driver himself. Un
doubtedly most of the accidents are
caused by haste. Speeding, when the
way is clear. Is not so much at fault
as haste to pass another car, or to
beat a red light. Many persons try
to save- ten minutes of time with no
definite lden In mind what they will
do with that ten minute* after they
have saved If. Just the Idea of "get
ting there" is at the hnsfs of most of
our troubles/ I'oor Judgment may also
be put down as a contributing cause
which prompts one to take unneces
sary risks. Downright recklessness is
a serious fault. This spirit Of indif
ference to consequences may be
caused by drink or certain abnormal
mental conditions. Doubtless there
are some persons. from whom the priv
ilege of driving a car should be taken
away. The fact that in the majority
of our states any person, regardless
of fitness, may drive a car. In Itself
presents a very fterlotls hazard. The
public should at ortce bo spared the
danger from Irresponsible drivers.
Is the remedy for thls^enaee to be
found In leglslatlAfr? 'Increased police
vigilance may help Home, but with the
increased traffic It seeiris Impossible to
make this efficient. Watch the other
fellow? take no chances, seems to he
the wiser course.

TK* Ark and Dnr? Ship*
The Ark and the Dove were the
ships which brought the first settlers
of Maryland to this country. The
Ark was s r?hlp of ftf>0 tons burden and
the Dove a pinnace of 50 tons. They
sailed from Oowes, Isle of Wight, and
landed their passengers at St. Marys
Cltjr In the spring of 1684, after a
voyags which took the whol* winter.
Btj Ltjdta Le Baron Walker
IT lis a good Idea for children to have
small allowances. Pin money was
the name given to allowances which
were meant to be spent on trllles. This
was when pins were scarce, and wom
en wanted money with which to buy
them. Pins were not considered essen
tial, but desirable luxuries wlilch In
dicated Incomes above the necessities
of life. To have pin money was a
nmrk or evidence
of riches. Today
with pins a com
m o n . commodity
and necessary ar
ticles, the term
"fcjn money has
been superseded
by that of allow
ance.
I have dwelt on
the name pin
money, partly be
cause mothers can
help their little
folk to earn their
allowances by pick
lug up pins. When
I was a llttte girl
I was given a pen
ny for each six
pins I picked up
off the floor, l'ins
from anywhere
else could not be
Included. Needles
counted a penny
each. They were scarcer and consid
ered more dangerous to have where
they could be trodden on, and perhaps
broken. You can Imagine how clear
the floors were kept from both pins
and needles, and how we children rev
eled in the days when the seamstress
or the dressmaker came to the house
to work. Today vacuum cleaners can
be damaged by gathering up pins and
needles, so why not let the youngsters
earn some pin money by keeping the
floors free from pins and needles, and
thereby help All their wee purses or
banks with the proceeds of their labor?
Mother* ? Helpers.
Mothers can make their little folk
feel they are making money an<J this
Is so like grown-u In the business
world, that they rathelN^Hsh the Idea.
At the same time she can be getting
the youngsters to help her In her
housework. For example I know of
one mother who used to put a penny
on the window sill of each bedroom
where she wanted the beds made. The
penny went to the child who made the
bed In the room. I can assure you the
beds were made early in the day. The
mother Inspected the work, and com
mented on It favorably when the beds
were well made, and made sucgestlons
of how to Improve the ninklng when
she was not satisfied. She did not And
fault, but made helpful suggestions,
such as telling the child how to
smooth the under bedclothes well to
make the spread smooth, ete.
There are always some tasks for lit
tle hands to do and they will be will
ing hands If they get some remunera
tion for their labor. After all this is
one way of helping children to learn
what It means to be self-supporting.
It Is a method ifhleh works to the ad
vantage of the employer, who Is moth
er In this cpse. and the employees, who
are the Qhlldren.
The Worker nnd Her Work.
Once upon a time when there was
no depression at the moment, n great
thinker, John Iluskln, wrote "NTo
amount of pay can ever make a good
soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, I
or a good workman." It Is a saying I
that contains an undeniable truth. It
Is not pay which makes any work
good, although good work Is worth
good pay. Just what good pay Is de
pends upon the age or era. For exam
ple, In the World war prices soared to
phenomenal heights. In the recent de
pression prices were extremely low.
Jukt now there Is the gradual return
to the normal. But whatever the pay
for the work. Its excellence should
not be Influenced. The worker should
endeavor to reach a high level of ex
cellence and maintain !t.
The underlying idea In the saying
quoted is easy to fin>t Thore Is a per
sonal equation In all work whether it
is craftsmanship, cooking, carpentry,
plumbing ? and so through all trades
and arts. The worker decides wheth
er lie will do his or 1i?t b??st, or wheth
er It shall be good only when the pay
is high. The crudity of making the
money value the criterion of excel
lence is recognized in a moment. And
yet there are persons who slight their
tasks unless pay Is high.

"Courting Mirrors" Among
Antiques in Alden Home
Duxbury, Mass. ? Two "courting
mirrors" used by the Pilgrims when
they wanted to ask young women to
mnrry them are among the treasured
antiques at the John Alden home
here.
They hang In a bedroom of the three
century old house.
In those days, when a young man
was about to propose, he carried a
"courting mirror" to her home. When
he was admitted he laid It on the liv

and looked Into It during his visit.
It was her way of accepting him. If
she did not ga/.e Into it, the young
swain was out of luck.

THE BIBLE IN DINICA
Though the Dlnka tribes living on
the banks of the Nile south of Khar
toum have no alphabet and no liter
ature, the British and Foreign Bible
society is translating the Scriptures
Into their tongue. The translators
first write down what they Imagine
to be the Dlnka words for the Au
thorized Version. Duplicated copies
of the result are then circulated
amongst the elders of the tribes who
correct and criticize the manuscript
a9 they think fit. Io many cases
this is the tribesman's tlrst sight of
his native tongue, but with the help
of a translator he gradually puts it
Into shape. When a tinnl agree
ment Is reached, the revised manu
script is sent to London for safe
keeping until that day, several years
distant, when the whole Dlnka Bible
is ready for printing. The society
has now translated the Bible into
007 languages. ? London Tit-Bits.
