Hat D-offing Traced 1 to Knightly Custom Sunday promemiders on Fifth ave- ( nue see more but dotting than do the crowds that move along the sidewalks ' on workdays. After church the ave- h uue tills up with neighborhood people,l ] who ut least know many members of their own congregations. But few among them, from those wearing Inf'"' , 1 imil fedoras to those in c'-reinmiliil ; silk tints, probably ever question where , this hut dotting originated. As a fact, the dotting of the hat was a common custom long before the mod ern types of heudgear were fashioned. In the days of knights In armor, when a num traveled Incognito under all enveloping helmets, it was customary to remove the Iron headdress in the presence if a lady so that she might see bls face. By this net she would be assured that tier grim ironclad visitor was a friend or acquaintance. As a custom of respect the practice thus came down from feudal times Today not only to the fair lady but also to persons of dignity, and in places and situations demanding par tlculnr respect or reverence, men un cover their bends. —New York Times Hid Surplus Coin in Jars of Baked Clay One of the most Interesting items In a coin bank collection Is an ancient "botijuela" or baked clay jar about a foot high obtained from San Juan, Porto Rico. It Is round In shape and with an opening of about two or three indies in diameter, it was brought tn Porto Rico from Seville and Cadiz during the colonization period of the island and served for a long time for the carrying of olive oil. Later, they were used by families; In the homes of tiie poor to cairy water from the brooklets and rivers, and In the homes, of the rich to store money. When filled with gold mid silver coins, a cork or wooden stopper was put in them and then sealed with sealing wax. After tills they burled the "botljuelas" in the ground or hid them in die ceilings of their homes. Tiie custom was brought over from Spain, where money was also buried in tiie ground. Tiie use of the “botl Juela” In Porto Rico started about tiie •iilddle of tiie Sixteenth century, when the first settlers began to realize prof its from their farms and from tiie sale of fruits.—Exchange. Both Wonderec It is natural for many of us to stand . iiff and wonder tiow our neighbor can I live as be does. Because lie has different standards and doesn't enjoy our kind of games, we wonder how he can possibly have any fun In life. There Is a delightful story which Jonas Lie, the artist, told. The artist was at the seashore working at a sketch, when he noticed an old fisher man who seemed to have no luck, hut just constantly fished all day long rebutting his hook at Intervals.

Nahant’s Town Seal The town seal of Nahant, Mass., is supposed to depict a white man purchasing the penlnsulu from au Indian sagamore for n suit of clothes or a pair of breeches. This transaction occurred In 1630 nnd the white man shown on tiie seal Is Thomas Dexter. ‘ Dexter’s title to Nahant was denied from the start by the town of Lynn, and, after a contest lasting 30 years Lynn prevailed. The town seal, however, Is based on this transaction. The Super-Boss “There," said Suaggsley at the club •’there is a magnate ... a leader among men; a man who controls 50,000 jobs.

When You Paint YOU SHOULD CONSIDER Cost Service and Appearance The paint that is cheapest per gallon is not al wav j cheapest for the job, as it requires more gallons to cover the surface properly. It costs more to spread inferior paint than it does to spread good paint. Good paint will last longer hence it will cost less per year of service. Good paint improves appearance much more than inferior paint does. See us for quality, service and price. Callow & Kohne
