they must fit exactly right. 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.

BASEBALL OFFERS BIG CHANCE j

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.

newspaper published in Columbia,

Public Service authority, directing
Santea-Cooper, an annual salary of
