Fire Inspections
Reveal Hazards
Inspection^ rn.any Dm** reveal hazardous
condition# which* make the
probability of fire a menace to life
and property. 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.
However, he may inspect it
himself, iind do away with inost common
fire hazards, with the aid of the

Concealing Color Holpr

them from tl?*ir predator/ eoemlo*.
In a like manner concealing coloration

It 1* not often that thl# "landscape

trier er we have an animal difficult to
ee when It roatn* Its buntlpg habitat,
the rasrshe* and sedge land* where
wllilfowl Congregate.
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! B.
Caldwell, James Breckenridge, Walter
Jones. Hlchard Bush and W. O. D.
Worthlngton. The constitution and
rules were adopted at a meeting held
in the hall of the house of representatives
on December 28, 1816. The so
ciety was not definitely organized,
however, until January L 1817, when
it met at Davis' hotel in Washington.

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. Although
the stiffening occurs most fre
quently among baseball players, It may
be experienced by anyone, especially
by one engaged in strenuous exercise.
