Confirmation of
Acceptance of
Hoover Is Made

nounces Virtual Acceptance
vand Confirmation of
Wallace's Appointment.
St. ' Augustine, Fla., Feb. 25.
Presiilent-eleCWlarding's selection of
Hei4ert Hoover to be secretary of
commerce in the coming administra
tion finally was confirmed by Mr.
Harding today after a series of de
velopments that at one time seemed
likely to lead to cancellation of the
appointment. v
, Mr. Harding announced that he
had found himself in "perfect ac
cord" with the policies urged by Mr.
Hoover as a condition of his enter
ing the cabinet and that the entire
incident had been- closed with a
definite acceptance from the former
food admin isthatori ' '
Wallace Is Assured.
At the same time the president
elect virtually confirmed also the se
lection of Henry Wallace'of Iowa to
be secretary of agriculture. The se-
lection of Mr, Wallace has been well"
known for some time, although pre
vious!) Mr. Harding had declined
discuss it.
Asked'abbut' the condition laid
down by Mr. Hoover, which includ
ed endorsement by Mr.. Harding of a
definite policy for reorganization ol
the commerce 'department, the presi-
dent-elect replied: .
"We arejn perfect accord as to
what the dtfpartmeut ought to bew
made. I wouldn t wanl Mr; Hoover
or any other secretary to take a de
partment unless , he intended to do
things with it. . v 1 .
' Be added that he saw nothing out
of the ordinary about the case, ex
cept the '.publicity giver, it. ' Every
other prospective cabinet appointee,
lie said, had discussed with him th
matter of permanent department policies;"-'-'.
-r- :l '
In the course of his comment Mr.
Harding expressed surprise that Mr,
Hoover 'had made a statement on
the subject in New York last night.
The president-elect said he had in
tended to announce the, appointment
here today,, but that his prospective
secretary had acted entirely Wtlhin
his privileges irt taking the initiative,.
The reference to Mr". Wallace's
appointment came in reply to a ques
tion relative to- an article by the
Iowa editor recently published ori
policies he might pursue as. secretary
of agriculture.
"Unless there shall be some " tin-,
looked for development," was ..Mr.
Harding's only comment, "I have a
strong suspicion . that Mr. Wallace
will be serving in that capacity." .

The Racial Instinct
In the days before the white man crossed the ocean,;.,','
When the red men did exactly as they chose, '
Being utterly benighted, they were childishly delighted ' 1 ,
In the scalping and the slaughter of their foes.--Xot
a warrior of the' lot was really happy
Till an arrow in his midriff got him riled..
There was nothing he found thrilling save continually killing
For his. simple warlike nature made him iwild.
With the white man, came a drink that wared the vitals ,
Of the poor untutored aborigines,. ... .'.
Which they took, to like an otter, when hv trouble, takes to water,
i And embarked at every chance-on rousing sprees.
So the whito man couldn't quell their lust for battle,
Or restnain their fierce proclivity for war;, i;-.- -t
They remained untamed and savage and rode daily, forth 'to ravage
, For the whisky made 'em wilder than before. . ,
When at last they all were sent to reservations,
Where they learned to chew tobacco, and to farm, .
Giving over bows and arrows for" Ford tractors, plows and harrows,
We believed that we had killed their power to hafm.
But they learned to do the fox trot and the "shimmy, "",'
TM? seductive toddle swum. into their ken, . 1
And the while their feet grew festive, they became, unduly' restive.
For the modern dances made 'em wild again.' . ; .
So there isn't any taming of the red man
Though voir think you've got hirrt placid' as 'a pup.- , ,'
Plying simple rural labors and at" peace with' all his ndghburs.
His hereditary wildness WILL turn up. , - .

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. IRVING' KING.
Everybody has heard of many
have seen the ceremonies with which
sailors mark the crossing of the
equator the vist of Neptune to the
ship and the ensuing "highjinks"
which intiates the neophyte who sails
M the, first time below the' "line".

The ceremony is' a sailors' frolic
now, Neptune the boatswain wear

come to its present state from, a
great antiquity and real sailors, of
the old school still-feel that it is not
good to cross the line without some
notice being taken of the event i -
The modern ceremonies are a sur
vival of the ancient custom of early
searfearing folk to sacrifice to their
gods when entering unknown waters
especially to the se'agod, Posiedqn,

he was called by the Latins. .
In ancient times, ships did not: sail
below the" equator and by the time
they began, to do " so Chris
tianity "had replaced heathenism.'
But the old idea had lingered among
seafaring folk, exhibiting itself in
various forms, ' and when, toward
the close of the Middje Ages, ships
beganto sail into the-strange waters

H WHY-
Do Drug Stores Have Colored
Globe in the Window?. ,
Jn spite of the, fact that the mod
ern drug store is far removed from
the pharmacy of other days and the
wide variety of its sWk ranging all
the way from (oys io hajr nets and
from books to picture post cards
would amaze an apothecary of the
old school, the majority of these es
tablishments still adhere to .the old
custom of placing a red andvblue
clobe in their windows, ro that the
j light may shine through and. inform
.those who cannot cvcii sec the' sign
sary. ; .
These colored globes have some
thing in common with 'the barber
pole, with its 'Ted and whit stripes,
which originally symbolized tlie
blood and the' bandages which foP"
lowed the barber's operation of
blood letting. , for the red globe is
the symbol of medicine to be seen
in another form today in the red
lamps which grace the outside of
many a doctor's home in many parts
of England.v The green globe was
added both as a means of distin
guishing the pharmacy .from the
physician's office and as aq, indica
tion of the fact that tlie apothecary
j carried a stock of other articles
F which might be useful in the home.

are usually made of colored glass,

Where It Started
Vaccination. J,
- Vaccination for immunity from dis
ase was practised first by Oriental
shepnerds, who discovered that in
inoculation accidentally obtained
from their sheep" provided immunity
against smallpox. It was mentioned
in England by the Royal Society in
1713. The S-y:ar-old daughter of
Lady Mary Montague was the first
European to be .vaccinated; she rer
ceived the serum on her hand. Jcn
ner. in 1778, was'the first scientist
to' make accurate' experiments, and
it is to him that we owe the progress
of the science. '
