The yoke once in position is securely i fastened to the horns by u long stout rawbtde strap, several turns around the outside horn are made, then it crosses the front of the head over an ornamental shield. Several turns are then made around the tnside horn, und the end of the strap wound around a stout pin on the top of the yoke, which has a cleft into which the end of the strap is finally inserted. Oxen yoked in this way work steadier, and huul heavier loads than thoke yoked by the neck. Three miles an hour is about the gait of the average pair of oxen, yet many farmers haul wood to the nearby markets, and logs to the mill. Far from becoming extinct as many city people suppose, the humble ox in "Nova Scotia at least is very much in evidence. Some of the large lumbermen use more than 100 yoke in the woods during the winter. A well-matched, well-trained pair are a source of both pride and profit to their owners. Early Tiles Handmade, Sun Dried, Then Painted The earliest tiles were made by impressing the soft clay of the halfmade tile with a pattern, and when the clay was dry, this impressed design was filled with a white slip. The entire surface was then covered with a powdered lead oxide and given a baking, the lead forming a transparent yellow glare. Old Spanish tiles were all of an irtch thick. These were pressed by hand only, and do not have the hard, close compression of the machine-made tile. In the old process the tiles were sun dried after hand pressing and then painted. The designs to be found on tiles are almost infinite in variety and include coats-of-arms, frequently found in medieval examples as weil as conventional foliage and flowers, many ornaments derived from vegetable forms, animals, badges, shields, texts, mottoes, emblems, prayers, human heads, single flowers and composite pictures. Transfer-print enameling on tiles was produced in Liverpool as early as 1750. These tiles, says a writer in the Los Angeles Times, were used for lining stoves or walls and were very popular. Theatrical pharacters were frequently represented on them. The Language of Christ The language used by Christ was the Aramaic, a dialect of northern Syria. The Israelites were much in contact with Aramaean populations, and some words from that tongue became incorporated into the Hebrew at an early date. At the time of Hezekiah, Aramaic had become the official language of both Judea and Assyria; that is, the language spoken at the courts. After the fall of Samaria, colonists from Syria came in, probably speaking Aramaic as their native tongue. The fall of the Jewish kingdom hastened the decay of Hebrew as a spoken language; upon their return to dea the Jews found themselves a people few in number surrounded by a population using the Aramaic tongue. When the latest books of the Old Testament were written, Hebrew, though still the language of literature, had been supplanted by Aramaic as the language pf common life. Commons, Public Land The common is a piece of land on which the inhabitants of a village have rights in common, says London Answers Magazine. There are two kinds of common. In one, the land has been taken over by' the public, generally by a local authority. In the other, the lord of manor and manorial tenants hold some, if not all, of their ancient rights. Between 1707 and 1869 something like 5.000.000 acres of common land was enclosed in England and Wales. But the public were beginning to realize that they were losing, and in 1866 an act was passed forbidding further enclosures in the London police area, and an act of 1876 did something of the kind for the rest of the country. The amount of common land in England and Wales is estimated at 1,500,000 acres. Commons are most frequent in Surrey, where almost every village has one. "Bloody Hand" Coat of Arms The "bloody hand" or "red hand" of Ulster forms part of the coat of 1 arms of the former province, now Northern Ireland. It is supposed U; commemorate the daring of O'Ncile, a bold adventurer; who vowed to be the first to touch the shore of Ireland. Finding the boat in which he was rowed outstripped by others, he cut off his hand and flung it to shore, to touch it before those in advance could land. When James I forfeited the O'Neile estates in 1611 and created 20A new baronets on payment of a thousand pounds each, ostensibly for the "amelioration of Ulster." he allowed them to place on their coat armor the "open red hand," up to that time borne by TL ICellcs. ? . ^ -1? ? rr i - ti, r*-l BASEBALL OFFERS BIG CHANCE j FOR AMBITIOUS YOUNGSTERS - - I Chi/ago, I t'ct'inber 23 stun swing-1 mg that l?at and oil up tho oU glove, I youngslii loc yogr.s Is tin- greatest, c h?tiivt* in baseball* history to curve; a career That's the advice handed tin- nation s sport minded hoys today hy William liar ridge, president oi the American league. Never before, lie said, ha \ e youngsters had such an op-! porlunity of correctly leainliiK how to play tin- game ami never before have they hail brighter chances of working their way from the lowliest J of tho "bush leagues'' to major league' heights and stardom "Formation of the new (Mass K leagues. schools for baseball and the American Legion program offer youngsters marvelous opportunities to learn the game from former major league stars," Harrldge said. "Previously, no one took much interest in tho boy who seriously wanted to learn the sport, but today it's a different and more gratifying story. "The American Legion's nascball program enjoyed a great season in 1938. Under tho direction of H. L. Challlaux, head of the Legion's national Americanism commission, l.hniiaH?<1 a of hov? nlnvnit fho irnilin with expert instruction. In Illinois there were 1,855 teams and New York state had 918. "The Kellogg school had 220,000 boys, between tho ages of 10 and 10, learning tho game from such teacherBi as Harry Hellman, Lou Fonaeca, Tris Speaker and Jack Combs. As tho result of these programs, high schooJ coaches are becoming more baseball-^ minded taking more time to properly instruct boys to take care of themselves and play the game fairly." Thirty graduates of American legion baseball, Harrldge said, now are in organized baseball, and major league clubs generally are building on players brought up slowly from the minors. "The New York Yanks, Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox, among others, have developed young players with success," Harridge continued.! "They don't rush the boys. Wheni they do reach the majors the clubs, are pretty certain they'll stay there."j ,The two major leagues each give the American legion $20.oon annually to aid Its junior diamond program. Harridge believes it's money well invested and that with the new Class E circuits, authorized this year, more and more boys will step onto that z * lowest runf? In baseball's ladder and climb to the top. Met With Mri. Smyrl. The DeKalb homo demonstration club met December 13, at the homo of Mrs. Oscar Smyrl. The mooting began with a song. "It cajno upon the midnight clear." The roll was called by Mrs. Curtis Ogburn with all members present. Mrs. Sam Truesdale conducted the devotion with Scripture reading, and the club repeated the lord's prayer. Afte^ all business was disfJbsed of, the meeting was turned over to Miss Fewell, who gave a very instructive talk on "Care and Storage." She gave several interesting illustrations on the most convenient closets and how to arrango them in order to acquire the most benefit of the space. Mrs. Dusbeo had charge of the progrnm. Sho gave a quiz contest, and Mrs. Lorick and Miss Kowoll won the prize. The hostess served delicious chicken salad, crackers, fruit cake, and coffee. As this was a Christmas meeting, Mrs. Smyrl had a beautiful Christmas tree lit. and each one brought a present for the name that they had drawn at the November meeting. After the presents were given out, we adjourned. The January meeting will meet with Mrs. E. B. Ix>rick. ICKE3 AGAINST PAYING 8ANTEE DIRECTORS $3,800 Washington, December 2V?Administrator Ickes disclosed today thai iio had advised the Colombia 8tate, a newspaper published in Columbia, S. C , that he was opposed In principle to the payment of salaries to local officials out of Santea-Cooper power project funds. The newspaper, aidcB said, asked Inkns his position on a proposal to pay directors of the Houth Carolina Public Service authority, directing Santea-Cooper, an annual salary of $3,000 each. The aides said Ickes, in his reply, told the newspaper he was "opposed > 111 principle" to the use of PWA funds to pay salaries to local public workB directors anywhere. He explained, however, that the proposal In question had not been put to him officially and that ha had not passed on it officially. Authorities said they understood thnt the PWA net forbade the use of public works money to finance such annual salaries or fees on works ~ projects.
