Why Market Speculators Are "Bears" and "Bulls" "Bear"- Is the older term. It originated in Kugland. In the frenzied days of speculation In the early part of the eighteenth century when nltnost everybody was Investing In tho South Sens Trading company. Its origin, notes (J. It. Turner in tho Kansas City Times, was inspired by the old proverb relative to "selling the skin before you have caught tho hear." and referred to those "Insiders" who, after more than one billion dollars had been invested^ in the gigantic enterprise, combined to unload their stock and thus brought financial ruin to the company before it hau had the opportunity to fulfill its promises. "Bull," au allusion to a bull's habit of tos-dng up things in 111<> air. followed as a natural consequence in describing an ih\e-P>r with tin-tics the opposite of those of a "bear." Why Brido Carries Flowers Flowers fi iu.i \ *11 \ early days Five been intimately connected with re ligioiis rites, says ttie .Montreal Ilerihi. Fruit used to he otfiied up in sacrbiee to the oid gods, find the (lowers which come before the fruit were used to garland the necks of animals sacritieed on the ancient altars. There was a symbolism in all this, ilie flower standing for the glories of the harvest-to-be. andso in olden times the marriage festival was beautified by -these emblems. (Iradually the symbolism grew, particular flowers being given particular mean Ings. So the orange blossom as hearing fruit and flowers together stood for youth and maternity, the lily for purity. while the rose and myrtle were especially consecrated to Venus, goddess I of love. Today the exnet symbols are | generally forgotten, hut the bridal bou quet still remains. Why Scriptures Became Bible The ancient Kgyptlans were the Qrst I people to make paper, their source for which was the pnnyrus. a reed native to the valley of tin Nile, notes <?.

Why Barm Are on Stilts 1 Some hay barns are 0:1 -v Many j I I armors find this nieilod of construe ! ing storage places for bay is econoini ! cal and eflicient. It is chcupct to build j I the roof and leave the sides partly 1 ; exposed. The open sides' permit the j nir to get into the pile of bay and keep it lresii. Cattle can go up to any j side of the barn and have a square meal. A traveling bay fork is on a small extended part of the roof so that the bay may be distributed evenly, i Why Tire Tread* Wear Causes of rapid wearing away <>f tire \ treads are listed by the emergency 1 service department of the Automobile Club of Southern California as follows: | Bent axles, bent steering knuckles. ; wheels out of alignment, excessive use' of brakes, spinning of wheels, unevenly placed tiro rims, and unevenly adjusted brakes. Why June 14 I* Flag Dey On June 14. 1777, the continental congress adopted a flag, having a field of 13 stripes nml substituting for the Union jack a union of 13 stars on a blue ground. The anniversary of this day Is celebrated In nil the states of the Union as Flag day. Why There Are "S" Bridges The bureau of public roads says that often small highway bridges are built In a shape of the lettr S because the road approaches the stream at an angl? (not a right angle), and It Is daslrabto to croaa tho stream at a right anglo with ths channel. ) International Date Line The international date line Is for most of its length Identical with the 180th meridian, and it crosses the equator at right angles. For convenience, however, and to divide communities as little as possible. It has been arbitrarily fixed some distance either side of the 180th meridian in several places, just as we have adjusted the boundaries of our standard time belts, fhufc the date line passes through the Bering strait' so that the eastern extremity of SU berla will keep the same day as the rest of the country. In Bering sea It swings ten degrees west of the true line so that the Aleutian Islands may have the same time as the Alaskan mainland. In the South Pacific the date line deviates to the east to avoid a division of Fiji and some of the Island dependencies of New Zealand.?Cleveland Plain Dealer.

' S5 Cave Man First to Use "Door" to Entrance Way The hairy, low-browed cave man rolled a stone to the mouth of his cave to protect himself and his family from prowling animals. That was his door, and probably the first door, writes Marie George la the Indianapolis News. When his mnte with a few "ugh-ughs" expressed a feeling of discontent, a feeling that could not be allayed by re-arranging the furniture every week or so, he rubbed his retreating forehead In thought and shoved a brighter stone up to the entrance. Later, when man built his home In the trees, the better to survive In a land overrun with dlnosauria (or whatever overrun the land In those days), he very likely got cold and tired of acting as a windbreak for his family. In a rebellious mood, lie climbed down, slew a beast and hung its skin up over his rat-hole of a doorway. Undoubtedly skins were Ipnuse for a long time, being far more serviceable than woven stuffs Introduced at a much later period, liven in feudal Ti Hies, when tiie door had grown formidable in size and strength, the inner doorways were closed by moans of heavy hangings. The antiipie door revolved, being pivoted in the center. The doors of the Middle ?.\ges usually were of solid oak plunking, set edge to edge and ! held together by wrought iron hands l and sturdy, ornamental strap hinges. | The doors of older castles were nart row, so as to permit the passage of ! only one person at a time. The ooou| pants thus had a decided advantage i in times of attacks. ! I Paint Brings Color to Lives of the Choctaws The Choctaw of northern Manitoba j never laughs and rarely talks. To the I casual observer he is an insensitive, unj observing human. Vet. observes a wrltj er in the Washington Post, there Is no ' sound in his vast wilderness he doesn't i hear. The drummings of the partridge or songs of the lark by day; the howl of the wolf or the scream of the big J cat by night all carry their message to i the Choctaw who Is hearing provisions | ! to his family. It's a three or four-day ' pack overland and he Is not to be di| verted. j "Strange," says a Royal Canadian 1 policeman, "but In the packs of most of those fellows you will find a quart or half-gallon of paint, usually of a vivid hue. Heavy stuff, hut they will pack It, leaving out the more essential articles." < Understandable. It means color ID the otherwise colorless lives of our more northern housewives. They know nothing of the value of pslnt as s preservative of materials, lodge poles, dog sleds or whatever the Northland offers. They demand pa kit because of the color, smell of cleanliness and the of heathfulness It carries. i ? jl>_ . ?i J4JLMJ- -immmmmmmmammarmmammmmaamsBm Clmrter No. 9083 Reserve District No. & report of THE CONDITION of THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CAMDEN in the state of south carolina, at the cl08e of busines8 on june 29, 1935 assets 1.
