Ridlehoover. a Freedom of City,” Just an Expression of Esteem Conferring the “freedom of the city,” when a distinguished person is welcomed, notes a writer in the Indianapolis News, amounts to little more than expression of esteem, but during the Middle ages in Eu rope the ceremony had a greater significance. “Freedom” was the name given to the privileges of citizenship. A citizen was called a freeman. In those days the ordinary person could become a freeman or citizen only by a long apprentice ship to a recognized guild. Occasion ally, however, the customary re quirements were dispensed with and to a person of great wealth or re nown was granted citizenship or the freedom of the city in recognition of his position or his services to the community. His name was placed on the list of burghers and free men, and he was entitled to all the privileges of municipal citizenship, including those of voting and hold ing office. In view of the difficulties involved in becoming a citizen it was a sub stantial favor as well as a great honor to receive the freedom of the city. Accordingly the phrase be came associated in the popular mind with honor and esteem. Later honorary citizenship was sometimes conferred; that is, the freedom of the city, carrying only nominal priv ileges, was conferred on eminent non-residents purely as a mark of honor. Many European cities welcome distinguished persons by granting to them the freedom of the city, and the documents presented are mod eled after those employed on similar occasions during the Middle ages. In America “freedom of the city,” like “keys of the city,” is merely a figurative expression and is seldom employed in the language of the scroll presented to a visitor of dis tinction when he receives an official reception.

Per Yard, ^ Qg The gales which lash the north- coast of Scotland, causing wrecks and demolishing harbor defenses, particularly at Lossiemouth, roar over the grave of that old Orkney “wise woman,” Betsy Miller, of Stornoway, who some two centuries ago claimed to have the power of controlling the winds, says the Man chester (Eng.) Guardian. With amazing assurance she set up as a saleswoman of fair winds, and with even more amazing cred ulity sailors are said to have been ready customers. It is true that her prices were not exorbitant. She would guarantee a fair breeze for sixpence a ship. What her charges wrere for a “capful” of wind, a half-gale, whole gale, or hurricane has not been recorded. She was perhaps a descendant of the w’omen of Lapland, who about the same time used to do a good/ trade among sailors in selling to them arrows which when shot into the teeth of a storm were supposed effectively to disperse it. Glass Industry Old Although the glass industry is one of the oldest in the world, it has remained almost unchanged for cen turies. The renowned Venetian glass - makers jealously guarded their secrets, which were restricted to the manufacture of goblets and carafes. The French statesman, Col bert, according to a writer in Lon don Answers Magazine, stole these secrets and made his beloved France the world-center of arts and industries and the envy of every na tion. The Phoenicians, who acci dentally discovered how to make glass many centuries before the birth of Christ, did little to improve their discovery. The few examples of old glass that are to be seen in museums and cathedrals are the crudest forms of that material. May and Might The words may and might express permission or choice. Use “may” after a verb in the present or future; “might” after one in the past. Ex amples: “I give you money that you may buy some food.” “I shall give you a horse that you may learn to ride.” “I gave you a key that you might let yourself in.” “Might” is often wrongly used for “may.” “May I come in?” (pres ent). “He may like to help you one day” (future). “Might I” and “He might” would be incorrect. But “He might have liked to have helped you” (past).—Tit-Bits Magazine. Coconut-Shell Charcoal Coconut-shell charcoal is ex tremely porous. Made by heating shells until they are charred and black, the substance is full of small spaces which trap gases. A piece impregnated with antichlorine solu- on will purify gas-laden air. This ' orous quality has- given shell char- i vial many peacetime uses. A piece will absorb gas amounting to more ; an 100 times its own volume. Thus tt is employed to remove unpleas ant odors from the air. Color From Cuttlefish The so-called “sepia” colors, fa miliar in the rotogravure sections of newspapers, are produced by coal-tar preparations and are more reddish in tone than the original sepia which was an organic coloring matter obtained from the cuttlefish. The word sepia comes through Latin from the Greek. In ancient times it was used as a writing ink. LEADERSHIP 'VjtMuuviA.
