Sun Long Worshiped | ' in Egypt and India /; Since nothing wys known of the roztation.of thie earth im the days of long 1880, one can easily imagine how very E-rea) yet mysterious the movement of . the sun must have seemed and how ' naturally it was an ohject of wonder g and reverence. The sun’s dajly jour-;-fne-y, its coniest with the darkness and i,,its final victory at the dawn of the . -new day are ideas which have led to endless storles. . : , Ra, the ‘great sun god of the Egyptans, was thought to travel in a ship across the waters of the sky by day l-,and return during the night through the kingdom of the dend. This god was always® represenfed either as a hawk or as g man with a hawk’s head dn accordance with the belief that the ‘hawk always flies toward the sun. . In India’ the sun was worshiped as, ’ the god Agni, who rode In a shining chariot drawn by blood-red horses. In lunci(’m Hindu art this gelden-haired 'god was portrayed as having a double 'rfa(:e,’sm'en tongues and sexen arms, ‘,The number seven was held sacred by ,the Hindus and was thus eniployed to "s.\,'mbol’i'/.e ,he numerous and varied lfdutit‘s performed by Agni.

'Ear of City Dweller ' " Has No Rest Period - Between beats the heart rests, and 'between breaths the lungs and dia'‘phragm have an instant's respite, All ithe merves and muscles of thé body fhme Some time when they are reAleved of duty except those of the jear in the noisy city. This is pointed iout by ear specialists, who say | something must be done about it to lower the amount of deafuess. : . City noises going on day and night Jkeep the ear drum and the tiny bones aabout it in a coustant state of vibraition. People accustomed to them sleep comfortably through normal night isolinds hecause the nerves are adapted, ito sometiiing like a temporary discon'mection with the brain centers. . Nocturnal periods of rest for the ears seein as remote for the average Icity dweller as the pot of gold at the ifoot of the rainbow. His days and jnights: are a bedlam of motor exthausts and horns, the: footsteps and ivolees of passershy. and the thousand rand one other noises of the city street. ,E-meannn Reporter, - : s

L The Birth of London » No_one can say when London be(gan ; the begipning is lost in the mists fof time: Lowylon is first mentioned in ;& pussugé in Taciigs, a Roman hislorian whose uncle, General Agicola, rspent most of his active military cafreer in Britain, Tacitus describes the {Roman London of "A. D. 61 when /it iwas sacked by Queen Boadicea—the ;B‘riti.\“hfwurri'm‘—quecn. : foe It is one of the strangest things in {London’s history, that she should first {appe:u; at the niomiént when she was isacked by a British queen,- and that ;thm queen’s statue should now stand in a ‘place of honor under the palace jof Westminster, lecoking down: the {’Begnes. It is strange, buat it marks ithat peculiar position of London as fthe ‘meeting place of the races out of iwhich the English people were made.

Pumpkin Put to Many ~ Uses in New England Long ago, when vegetables were scarce, even in summer, and not to be had at all in winter, the pumpkin was put to extraordinarily ditersified uses. With it New England housewives made pumpkin hread. now a lost art. Pumipkin was aiso -used in the making of beer,. cusiord, molasses, vinegar and pies. o Small wonder the early New Englanders, as if is related in Peter’s General History of Conneeticut, considered the pumpkin “one of the greatest blessings and held very sacred in New Eugland.” Since earliest Colonial days the pumpkin has been the homely symhot in America of that season of mellow fruitfulness that Separate sununer from winfer. Although its name is of I'renchi origin the pumpkin has bes come an institution typieally Amerfean. ' : The etymonogy of the word can be traced firom the French “pompen” in use before the colonization of America, through the stages of “pompion” and “pumpion” to “pumpkin.” And execept in print and among precise speakers one today will encounter the‘colloquinl “punkin® ofiener than the ligerary “nompkin,” . .

British Royal Succession

The thione of Great Britain s hereditary in .the British house of Windsor with mixed: succession, the sons of the king aund their descendants having precedence of daughters, but dauvghters and their descendants having preference over lateral lines, Thus. when the eldest child of a king is a daughter and there are sons, the eldest son will succeed, to the exclusion of the daughter. This occurted in the case of Queen ' Victoria—her oldest child was Princess Victoria, but she was succeeded bn the throne by her eldest son, Edward VII.

! Permanent Registartion Bill Much interest is being manifested ithroughout Indiana in the permanent jregistration bill prepared by the In;diana League of Women Voters. Many ‘of the legislators beliéve registration !of all voters is essential to close the idC-.’)l‘ to the use of “repeaters” and | ‘floaters” at elections and have ex{pressed their. belief that‘ the bill preipared by the League is adequate. 1t ;not only provides for an adequate sys item of registration but does so witly véthe least possible inconvenience tq the voter. o : I Especial care has heep taken in idra,fting‘ the measure to make the re, ;gistrax;iuu of voters in rurai com‘munities very convenient to the elecs itors. The amendmeni’ to the state jconstitution in 1881 which made a [regisr_ration of voters possible statog {that the General Assembly “Shall alS 0 provide for the registration of all !yoters entitled to vote’ This pro:viflion of the constitution makes it imandamr;v for a registration law taq japply to rural or sparsely ropulated g'localitives as well as to cities or dense il—y populated countigs. Five countied ;out of ninety-twg in Indiana contaiy ‘over twenty-eight per cent of tha Ipopulation and are ablé to dominate 'the ‘politi(:s of the state especially iv iclr).%(e elections. Prevention of fraudulent voting in these localities is esgsential to the welfare of the .entire 'state. ; -

~ In brief the bill provides for a continuous registration of all voters makes the county auditor responsible for registration makes provisions for canceling registration where the voter does not exercse his right of franchise for two years: provides for transfer Of registration within the county; and establishes safeguards which would prevent the use of. “repeaters’” and floaters” at the polls. As long as an elector resides in the county in whicH he is registered he does not have to register again. '

Under the provisions of the registration bill the registration would be used at all general primary or city elections. The voters would be required 1o sign the registration affidavits in duplicate and also to sigpn a poll book before voting. The election board would be required to compare’ the signature on the poll book with the signature gp the registration afidavit before giving the voter a ballot. The original affidavits shall be placed in locked binders, arranged in alphabetical order by streets and numbers for each voting precinct and taken to the appropriate ‘olling places on election day. The duplicatg affidavits shall be arranged in exact alphabetical order for the entire coun ty and filed permanently in the county auditor’s office. : Provision is made for the county auditor to keep the registration rec: ords up to date and free from dead material registrations from one precinct to another when precinet boundaries are changed; by transferring registrations within the county upgn \l’eceipt of a signed statement from the voter; by cancelling ths registra; tion of those who have died, been disj franchised, or moved from the county upon notice from the county health board, the clerk of the circuit court or upon receipt of a cancellation” no; tice from the auditor of the' county to which an elector has moved and in which he has re-registered. '

The measure further provides that the registration of voters who have failed to vote during a two vear period shall be cancelled after they havd been given an opportunity to reinstate their registration by mailing to the county auditor a signed statemen! giving. their present and former addresses. | : :

During the first registration period provision is made for a house to house canvass to insure a completa registration. Voters ‘'may register at any time except immediately preced-
