When you may be morally certain
that the llrMI a, lit that vni. utnr tn

returning it to its accommodating
vwuci jruu nave empiica an ine pocK
ets of evidences of your occupation.
That is the moral of our tale.
Last week, presumably at the Phi
tone, a popular young man filled his
U4JK.C program witn tne names oi
pretty girls in the company, for he
danced with the best at the party.
Now that was just as it should be.
The fault came the next day when
the young man left his dance pro
gram in the pocket of his coat upon
returning it whence it came.
The next evening another young
man came to the vender of dress suits,
was fitted with one and proceeded to
another dancing party. During the
course of the evening he chanced to
put his hand in the inner pocket of
the coat, and there, to his surprise,
be found a dance program. He ex
amined it, found the names familiar,
and then took the other members of
his party into confidence. They had
attended the Phil Lambda Epsilon
party the night before, had seen the
girls whose names appeared in the
program and tried from memory to
determine the luckless youth who
then wore the suit. Whether they
were successful or not must not be
told, but the moral is evident empty
borrowed pockets.

By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
Have you a "swastika" about you.
or in your house, as a fetish or symbol
of good lurk? If so. you possess per
haps tilt oldest of all talismans. Prof.
George MacCurdy, the archaeologist,
says that the swastika is supposed to
date as far bark, as Ihe neolithic pe
riod, or the later stone age, which
1 came just before the age of bronze.
which in turn preceded the age of
iron.
Modern discoveries arc beginning to
make us somewhat familiar with the
people who lived in those prehistoric
ages, and it is interesting to find this
thread of superstition running through
them from some dim anterior period,
when man first conceived the idea of
controlling his luck by the aid of a
magic figure, cut or drawn on wood or
bone or stone. The thing about the
swastika that has excited the most
I comment is its form, which is essen
.:it.. .i.-. i - ti.:.. i i. .
iiauy inai ui a nus. j ma lias i'ccii
treated as a great mystery by those
who suppose that the cross, as a sym
bol, was invented by Christians, and
that all similar forms in ante-Christian
art arc prophetic prcfiguremenls. As
a matter of fact, the figure of a cross,
in its many variations, is immeasur
ably ancient.
The swastika has been found in
every quarter of the world, and among
the relics of nearly all early peoples.
Its connection with other religious
emblems, and the traditions which
have everywhere clung to it. lead to
the conclusion that from time imme
morial the idea of good fortune has
been associated with it. Various ex
planations have been offered of its
peculiar form.
It was sometimes called "the gam
inadion," because it is made up of the
outlines of four capital Greek letters
gamma, united at their bases. Some
have suggested that it originally
represented a sheaf of flames, or a
flash or lightning, or the rays of the
sun but these explanations are all as
fanciful' as the figures itself. There
are many appearances in nature,
among trees, plants and rocks which
might have served for its original.
The interesting thing is that it has
endured so long, handed down from
generation to generation, and from
age, retaining substantially the same
form, although used for a great va
riety of ornaments, all of which seem
to have had an identical signification.
Its universality is well summed up by
the Standard dictionary, which says:
"It has been found depicted on
tombs at Hissarlik, near ancient
Troy; on Buddhistic inscriptions in
India, in Etruscan necropolises, on
coins of Gaza and Corinth, on rock
carvings in Sweden, and on Celtic
stones in Britain. In America in pre
Columbia times it was in common
use by the aborigines."
Household Suggestions
New enamel pans if placed in a pan
of water and allowed to come to the
boil and then cool will be found to
last much longer without burning or
cracking.
If milk is heated until lukewarm,
then chilled suddenly, there will be
much more cream; the skin which will
form should be removed by straining
through muslin.

The Story of the Swastika
These striking sentences do noi
cover, by any means, all the places
where the swastika symbol has been
found. The Encyclopedia Uritannica
describes a fine sepulchral urn found
in Norfolk, and now in the British
museum which has three hands of
cruciform ornaments around it, "The
two uppermost of these are plain
circles, each of which contains a plain
cross; the lowest band is formed of a
scries of squares, in each of which is
a swastika. '
Among the beautifully ornamented
swords of the bronze age that have
been discovered in Kurope this strange
figure appears. One wriler says of it:
"What is remarkable is that the
swords not only show the design of
the cross in the shape of the handle,
but also in tracery what is believed
to be an imitation of the swastika,
that ancient Aryan symbol, which
was probably the first to be made
with a definite intention and a con
secutive meaning."
The perpetuation of this emblem of
good luck through thousands of years
is, in itself, a most remarkable thing.
It shows the immense value of repu
tation. It reveals the secret of the
