Selling Of Rugs
Less Risky Than
Becoming Monarch
New York, Feb. 18 lU.R) A
real, live prince is peddling rugs
today around the United States.
Prince Slgvard of Sweden
said he was entirely in favor of
monarchies. As a bread-and-butter
business, however, rugs are
less risky.
"And it's very hard sitting
around waiting tor somebody to
die."
Renounces Rights
Sigvard renounced his third-in-line
rights to the Swedish
throne some 16 years ago when
he married a commoner.
His grandfather la 91-year-old
King Gustaf. His sister is the
queen of Denmark. He's also a
sort of cousin to the British
royal family and its newly mar
ried Marquess of Milford Haven,
who is in the laundry business
himself.
But for business purposes the
prince is plain Mr. Sigvard
Bernadotte, a middle-sized, dark
haired man of 42 with deep blue
eyes. a. necktie to match, and
a face-lighting smile.
Designs Rugs
And he's something more than
a salesman. He is the artist who
designs the hand-made Swedish
rugs he has brought here for the
first time, and he is one of the
founders of the firm which ar
ranges their weaving by the
country people of southern
Sweden.
There's nothing very unusual
about a prince being in business
these days, Bernadotte said.
His own younger brother. Carl
Johann, has been a New York
business man for the last four
years.
Sigvard said his family "is
very happy about" his being
self-supporting as well as about
his business, which is putting
native handcraft on a commer
cially profitable basis.
His father, crown prince Gus
taf Adolf, bought the first rug
they turned out for his palace,
Bernadotte said. I

New Moon Of February - Dry Or Wet?

If you are a watcher for the
first sight of the "thin slip of

in order to prognosticate from
its slant the weather for the fol

conditions cooperate. But what

months in advance yes, years
and without the least fear of
error.
Despite the idea of some that
either a wet or dry new
moon may grace the February-
heavens, the keeping of records
for a few years would badly
shake the faith of the most de
vout believer in moon lore. The
new moons of this month are
alike year after year, but quite
different from those of late sum
mer and early autumn.
Called 'Dry' Moon
It is generally stated that when
the crescent appears in such a
position as to hold water inside
its golden bowl, it is properly
called a "dry moon;" when tip
ped at such a dangerous angle
as to spill the celestial fluid, a
"wet moon." With this under
standing, the February new
moon is always decidedly arid;
that of August, extremely liquid.
As the crescent becomes
plumper and higher during the
early days of this coming week,
note that the rounded side is in

farther south the observer, the
better slanted is the crescent
as a fluid container. From the
latitude of Mexico City, both
points will appear "straight up."
Farther north, there will be some
tipping toward the left.
At the crescent stage six
months later, the open side of the
bowl will be turned toward tne
south and would spill every drop
that might be placed in it. The
farther north, the better "spiller"
it becomes, and in southern
Alaska, a line connecting the
points will be verticle.
Round Side to Sun
The rounded side of the moon
is always turned toward the sun.
In late winter and early spring,
the crescent is fairly well above
the setting sun. so the points ex
tend almost upward. Six month.
later, when it is on that part of
its nath which is far south of
the sun, its points extend toward
the left.
The slant indicates the time of
year; and the weather only in so
far as this depends on the sea
son. Some Indian irioes arc saiu
to have reasoned thus:
"When the DOints of the cres
cent extend upward so that the
powder horn will hang on them,
leave it there for the forests are
too dry for hunting. But when
the tips are so inclined that the
oowder horn will slide off, take
it and go, for the woods are wet
I enough to permit successful
j stalking of the game."
