Discovering these dangers1 ib the first step toward greater safety. A good example of the benefits accruing from inspections is afforded by results obtained at the Ktate Fair in Indianapolis, Indiana, where the Fire Prevention Committee made 542 inspections of buildings and grounds and ordered correction of 305 defects. Hazards consisted of defective wiring. the careless handling of gas, gasoline, kerosene, paper, rags, etc. Under the cpliseum where thousands gathered, space was rented to various concessionaires' and much inflamabie ' material, such as paper and flimsy decorations, was tacked to the pino structure overhead. Kliminntion of any one of these hazards may have prevented a major conflagration. Seldom does the average citizen ' have an opportunity to arrange an inspection of hfs property by an expert.

In fact the dead grass color, accepted as the standard for thl* breed, blends so well with the reeds, cattails, marsh grass and ettnebreak* tliat much of Its succesa In hunting and retrieving wildfowl can be laid to this source. Among duck hunters the Chesapeake bay retriever is their favorite breed for all around purpose*. It fetauda unequaled as a retriever and seldom loses a crippled bird. It Is willing to work under all weather condilions, taking to the water on Instant command. There Is no other working dog that can stand up under cold winds and Icy water as well as this. Its deep, wooly undercoat is as waterproof as a duck's breast and, like the otter, It Is built to revel in a water environment that would turn otHer dogs back. Like most hunting dogs, the Chesapeake Is seldom considered In the pet or household dog class. Yet It would adapt Itself to such conditions, ah though it is far happier out In the open. Knocking on Wood Wardi Off Evil, an Old Belief Knocking on wood to ward off punishment for boasting Is one of the most prevalent of all superstitions, says the iDdlanapolls News. It Is not uncommon to meet persons who knock on wood after bragging about their success or good health. Many persons carry wooden charms convenient for this purpose. How wood acquired this supposed protective power Is not definitely known. Many , theories have been offered to account for the superstition. Some attribute it to the old game known as "touching wood" or "wood tag" In which a player who succeeds In touching wood Is safe from j capture. Others believe this game and "knocking on wood" had a common origin in primitive tree worship, when trees-were believed to harbor protective spirits. To rap on a tree, the.dwelling place of a friendly spirit, ! was to call up the spirit to protect i one against Impending misfortune. Later, people placed the hand on a wooden statue of a deity for the same purpose. It is said that some European peasants knock loudly on wood to keep away evil spirits. It is believed by some people that the superstition Is of i Christian origin, and that it Is in some way associated with the wooden cross upoii which Jesus was crucified, or that It arose from the ancient rite of touching the beqds of a rosary In prayer. The U?eful Swallow There are seven common species of swallows found in the United States, four of which have abandoned to sotne extent tfb-Ir primitive nesting habits and have attached thernselyes to the abodes of man, according to the Bureau of Biological Survey. The barn swallow builds exclusively under rqofs, mostly in barns und under bridges, having abandoned entirely Its former home under cliffs and overhanging rocks. The cliff swallow has also abandoned Its nesting site in cliffs and taken up its abode under the eaves of barns, while the martin prefers a more modern home provided for It by farmers and farm children In back yards and around the farmstead. The diet of these birds Is composed exclusively of Insects. Their food Is tuken exclusively while on the wing, where they skim from the air or from the tops of tall grass and weeds such flying Insects as flies, beetles, flying ants, gnats ami many other Insects. Origin of Shintoism The origin of Shintoism, the oldest and the basic religion of Japan, is unknown. Its traditions and legends are said to show a Chinese Influence. Shintoism rose in prehistoric times and existed until after the beginning of our era without a name, dograns or writings. There was room in this primitive religion fur the worship of whatever aroused the admiration or awe. About the Sixth century A. D. It entered a new period, with definite forms and organization. Then, upor. the Introduction of I'.iVddhlsm Into Japan It combined with and was to a large extent superseded by that religion. But shintoism hhs undergone a very successful revival In comparatively recent times, with the development of Japanese patriotism and national pride. American Colonization Society The constitution and rules for the government of the American Colonlza tion society, the organization which negotiated for the purchase of the strip of land .n Africa, now known as Liberia, were prepared by Francis Shott Key, Bushrod Washington, E!

The constitution and rules were adopted at a meeting held in the hall of the house of representatives on December 28, 1816.

Tadpole Lives Like Fifth, Then Develop# Into Frog The frog begins life as a tiny black speck of an egg surrounded by an albuminous coat- This coat swells enormously when exposed to water and serves to protect the delicate egg within. After many weeks the egg hatches into a tiny wriggler with a very long and visible Intestine and a long talL This tadpole lives as a fish, "breathing" In the water through its gills. After many weeks of feeding upon the. algae In the pond, the tadpole undergoes trunsformtaion Into a frog. Its long tail is absorbed completely, and its Intestines shrink to one-fourth of the original length. Since it now subsists up??n an animal diet. It has no need for such a leugthy digestive apparatus for this highly nutritious luod. As a vegetarian in its youth, it required huge quantities of algae to derive the nourishment necessary for growth, hence the long intestine. The young frog sprouts legs slowly, and loses its gills which are replaced bv a pair of lungs, making the frog an air breather. In breathing, the frog must swallow its air. very much as It swallovv.-Pits food. A dislocated or broken Jaw in a frog would be a serious If not fatal matter. The moist thin skin also serves as an organ of respiration in the frog. Bird* Found on Maay Stamps Birds have been incorporated in pr.ny issues of Japanese postage stamps. Gii that of lSTo. are found the wild goose, the wagtail and the 'falcon, each significant in the country's folklore. The wild goose is emblematic of letter-carrj Ing, for, according to the story, un ambassador of one of China s early emperors was detained by a foreign monarch and reduced to slavery. The unhappy ambassador attached a letter telling of his plight to the leg of a wild goose and In some rairuculous manner the goose flew over the spot where the emperor was hunting. The emperor killed the goose, read the letter and soon got his ambassador back, appropriately punishing the offending monarch. -The wagtail Is the Japanese equivalent of the serpent in our story of Adam and Eve. For anniversaries and coronations the crane and the phoenix are popular subjects, the former as a symbol of longevity from its reputed life of a thousand years and the latter, borrowed Incidentally from the Egyptians, as a symbol of Immortality. from Its legendary ability to rise anew from Its funeral pyye. Habits of the Cuckoo After she has laid her eggs the female cuckoo watches carefully, and if they are destroyed she finds other nests and lays a second clutch. She Is not entirely forgetful about the youngsters. When they arrive In the various nests, the first thing they do Is to eject all the other occup nts. It is a wonderful struggle to see, with the young cuckoo always the victor, and when each nest contains one hungry youngster, the real mother watches over them, although she never at tempts to give thorn food. Incubation of the eggs, and the feeding of the young. Is left to the foster parents. Soon nfter tlie young appear, the cuckoo and hor mate tly south to their African home. "Charlie ,Jfc^or?e" This slang term^TJharley horse" is limited to the United States, and denotes the stiffening of the muscles of arm or leg from excessive use, as by an athlete. The term was first ap pfied to a horse afflicted with a form of muscular atrophy known as sweeny, according to the Literary Digest.
