Harris stated the case for the petitioners. Be sides the objections stated in the petition as to the defects in the budget and lack of publication in full, he contended also that the second election was illegal. There was no change in the budget after the first election, and pub lication did not conform with the law.

Balance on Hand Horse-Racing Shown to Be Very Ancient Sport Horse-racing was the sport of kings at least 5,000 years ago. Re cently there have been discovered in Mesopotamia some Hittite in scriptions dating from more than 1,000 years B. C„ which contain complete instructions for the train Ing of candidates for big races. Professor Hronzy of the I nlversitj of Prague Ims Interpreted the In scriptions, and It Is astonishing to find how methodical were the train ers in those far-off days. The ani mals were first got Into condition by a diet which aimed at remov ing nil surplus llesli, and baths are also recommended In the Inscrip lion. Speed and stamina were de veloped first by trotting and then hy gallops over longer distances. Training, ns a rule, occupied about six months. Ollier discoveries sliov. that horse racing ns a sport can be taken back to at least 3OOJ II. C. Mr. Galloway declared that the estimated balance on hand at the end of the fiscal year, December 31, 1931, should have been stated in the budget. Upon request, City Treasurer H. E. McGraw brought in a re port showing $2,525.94 cash on hand in the general fund at the end of the year. There are $17,- 194.61 in outstanding warrants at this date, he said. Receipt Estimate Off Questioning by Mr. Galloway brought out the fact that $1906 had been received in the record er’s office last year. The budget estimated $2500, and was ac cordingly too high. 40 Per Cent Delinquencies FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 193ii. Miss Irene Gus Olson Married Move by the Calendar Another Old Indtislry Lest to Great Britain One of the oldest and most pic turesque Industries In Britain Is the preparation of woad us u dye. Nowadays the manufacture of this dye has fallen Into decay through the competition of indigo In its markets. But its history goes back to the time when it was used as war paint liy the British warriors who fought under Boadlcea against the Rone tins. And, in modern times, it was employed for a period in dyeing the uniforms of policemen, sailors und officers in the Guards. The plant from which tlie dye Is made Is of a bluish-green color, rather like that of spinach, and possesses a yellow Hower. It Is crushed to pulp by huge wheels re volving on the stone floor of a woad mill. The wheels are rotated around central posts by horses. When the horses have gone round with the wheels a certain number of times, tlie pulp Is scooped out by work men, and rolled on a board Intc lumps about the size of Dutch cheeses. Alter drying for three months in special drying sheds, these lumps shrink to the size of baseballs. These are then crushed down, and mixed with water, after which they undergo a process of fermen tation, to get rid of certain vege table elements which spoil thu purity of the dye. Water, in Middle Ages, Drunk Only as Penance In his volume, "The English Medieval Feast,” William Edward Mead sets forth a myriad of curi ous facts about the eating habits of those valiant trenchermen, the Anglo-Saxons of the Middle ages. Gastronomical habits of tlie period, he shows, were based more often on necessity arising from condi tions under which they live than from national idiosyncrasies, but many of them survive in some form in the present-day recipes. It is staggering to compute the amount of beverages (water except ed) that was regarded then as an average day's ration In a single household. At one feast lasting a week In the home of the Archbishop Neville, brother of tlie “kingmak er," for instance, tlie guests were provided with tlie equivalent of 13,000 dozen of wine and 75,600 gallons of ale, lie states. The small household of the earl of Northum berland accounted annually for 1,- 100 dozen << wine and 42,000 gal lons of ale. Water In those times wt-t, dtvrk only as a penance, and was known commonly as “rot-gut stuff.” Since sanitation was entirely outside the ken of the wisest of the age, and the quality of any water used for drinking likely to be extremely Inferior, It was a wise enough pre caution to ignore it. When we think of nomads we In- vuriably picture in our minds a people who wander from place to place picking up a living here and there us they go. Yet lids is not a correct idea of noiuad life as it was lived in Asia. It is true tiiat in many parts of Asia, as well as in many parts of other countries, there are certain small tribes of gypsies and nomads wiio lead this kind of an existence. But in Asia, for centuries, thousands und thou sands of Tartars, Armenians, Kurds and Yezidis have migrated from the lower regions to higher places for the summer. Al Iagos is a great mountainous muss in the western part of Armenia, und the favorite summer resort of these people. Although they live in tents, their life is just as real as their winter life in villages. Babies are born, grandmothers die, gardens are made and sheep und cuttie are fattened.

Birds and the Bible There are at least 290 references to birds in tlie Bible, says tile Amer ican Forestry association. Al though 113 of these references are to lilrds in general, 31 species of birds are named. The dove and eagle, the one as sociated with genlleness and peace and the other symbolic of strength and courage and noted for tlie heights to which it can soar, are mentioned more than any of the others. Alexander Sprout, Jr., writ er for tlie American Forestry ns- soclatlon, says that tlie dove is men tioned 35 times and tlie eagle 32. Other species mentioned by Sprunt, listed according to tlie num ber of times their names appear, are: Raven, cock, hen, owl, pigeon, sparrow, stork, pelican, quail, swal low, vulture, ostrich, zlttern, pea cock, cormorant, crane, partridge, osifrage, osprey, kite, cuckoo.
