W. - TORONTC Handshaking Has Drawback Originated As An Act to Bind Contracts, Not Salutation Handshaking, once a gentle gesture of agreement, peace or friendship, continues in modern times to develop painful consequences -- as the retir- ing Governor of New Jersey recently discovered when the ceremony raised a blister on his right hand. Presidents at their levees have often suffered a muscular lameness from taking this salute, says the New York Times. At an official reception, in Canada the Duke of Windsor, then Prince of Wales, felt a bone crack under the overhearty handclasp of a cowpunch- er. Part of Ancient Ceremony The custom of handshaking did not originate as a salutation but as an act binding a contract. The grasping of hands was part of the ancient Hindu marriage ceremony. It passed into a mannerly courtesy in Rome. Giving the right hand of fellowship as men- tioned in the Bible (Gal. 11:9), spread throughout Christendom and had be- come usual as a salutation in the Eur- ope of the Middle Ages. Extending the right, or sword, hand symbolized an unarmed approach. All through Byzantium the custom reach- ed the Moslem communities, where it was adopted as a lggal formality, but there the joining of hands meant the pressing of thumbs together. Some African, tribes substituted the hand- clasp for their habit of showing de- fenselessness of disarming or partly uncovering in deference to a super- for. English Shake Least Thus the handshake was at no per- fod hitherto likely to give distress, but to be a reassuring, ingratiating greeting. The heavy grip began as a more or less clumsy attempt to em- phasize one's inner feeling of hail-fel- low cordiality. Even that is consider- ed less of an ordeal than the greeting customs of certain aborigines -- the embraces of Australian blacks, the nose rubbings of Polynesians, Malays, Eskimos and Laplanders. The Japan- ese obelsances and genuflections, ac- companied by hissing, is supposed to have derived from the cowering or the crouching attitudes of humility in the } ancient East. Among modern Europeans the Eng- lish are said to shake hands less fre- quently than others; the French do shake hands upon meeting and depart- ing; and the Germans repeatedly, on the slightest occasion. Cave Man's Words Still Used Today Professor Says Phrases Are More Figurative Now Figures of speech which were an integral part of the cave man's sim- ple language now occupy a prominent place in the modern vocabulary, ac- cording to Willlam Hawley Davis, pro- fessor of English at Stanford Univer- sity and editor of the Stanford Uni- 'versity Press, Palo Alto, California. Davis sald the cave men used such figures of speech. as 'back-biting," '"back-scratching," "skinning alive," '"girding up one's loins" and other ex- pressions much in use today. Existence Very Real Then Davis sald that existence on the cave man level was still very real to the average person. To the cave man, explained, a "bone of contention," an "eye for an eye" and "cut-throat com- petititon" meant more than they do to us; but we can still use each free- ly. "Literally," he said, "the eave man 'wielded a big stick,' 'left no stone unturned,' 'kept an ear to the ground,' found a 'bird in the hand worth two in the bush' and 'killed two birds with one stone," whereas now these expres- sions are used figuratively. Derived From Horses "In a similar way people still em- ploy a large number of figures derived from horses. These include 'raring to go,' 'prick up his ears', 'bridle at,' and 'take the bit in his teeth'. "These must be increasingly vague to the generations growing up since automobiles have displaced horses. We may expect them to be used less and less because fewer people find that they convey thought effectively." Shooting Star's Tail The reason why a shooting star appears to have a tail trailing behind is that an image remains in our eyes for about a sixteenth of a second. Since the falling meteorite (wrong- ly called "shooting star") is moving very quickly, it has covered quite a distance before than sixteenth of a second has passed; so there appears to be a tail. It is the same pheno- menon that makes the spokes of a whirling wheel look solid; and it is also the basis for the apparent con- tinuous action on the movie screen on which sixtcen pictures are flashed every second. DIXIE is the thrifty man's tobacco. } l#s a cool ¢ slow-burning smoke / PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO GARDENING PREPARATIONS In few other things does a little preliminary planning yield such tan- gible returns as in gardening. It is possible to construct a house without a blue print, though the job will usu- ally be regretted. Gardens, too, can be created in this fashion but the results are apt to be confused with the natural conglomeration of weeds, tin cans and abandoned motor cars which litter up the usual vacant lot. A littlesplanning is most esential and it will enhance the interest in the hobby, pastime, work or whatever gardening is called, as well as add very materially to its real value. Now, while the earth is still dormant, or at least too wet or too cold to indulge in any but the hardiest kind of plant- ing, is the time to begin these plans. All that is necessary is a pencil and paper, a seed catalogue, and possibly a Government bulletin or two. SHRUBBERY For the permanent sort of garden- ing, that is the kind using perennial flowers, shrubs, trees, grass and other things that grow for years, some pre- liminary planning is absolutely es- sential. True, most Canadian garden authorities advocate informal plant- ing for the average home surround- ings, but even in simple informality some previous notion of the final re- sults is desirable. Otherwise, there are going to be tiny shrubs hidden by large ones, grass is going to be too shaded in one quarter and delicate flowers burnt up in another, Even in the vegetable patch, it is a splendid idea, so the horticulturists state, to plot the whole patch rough- ly to scale, and then lay out the rows so that tall corn; staked tomatoes and similar things have plenty of room each way, but beans, carrots and beets do not get more than from 15 to 24 inches between the rows. NURSERY STOCK Early spring is generally consid- ered the most favourable season for planting nursery stock. Under the latter heading comes a wide variety of plants, including rose bushes, shrubs, fruit and ornamental trees, perennial flower plants, vines, rasp- berry bushes, asparagus, strawberry plants and a host of other permanent things. In purchasing such material au- thorities emphasize the importance of securing fresh stock from a reli- able Canadian source. Roots and stems should be pliable and moist and if there is any upper growth, as in the case of shrubs and trees, there should be evidence of live green buds. Tallest Human Stops Growing ALTON, Ill.--Robert Wadlow, tall- est human in medical history, who observed his twentieth birthday last week, is nearing the end of his phe- nomenal growth, according to phy- sicians. Measurements revealed Wad- low is 8 feet 81% inches tall. He weighs 465 pounds. Records examined on his birthday showed the youth's rate of growth in the last four years has diminished one-half inch each year. He grew only one and one-half inches last year. Between the ages of 9 and 12 he averaged from four to five inches of growth each year.

Izzve No. 12--'23 A--C Crusade Brings Back Blushing Beauty Expert Says Lack of Blood In Faces Is Making Girls Fade The common blush, practically diss: carded since sorority sisters discov-] ered Freud and found that the whold) business was just an inferiority com-' plex, is going to be revived in am] effort to keep American women from) becoming a race of gargoyles. A crusade to restore the blush to good standing was announced last week by Miss Grace Donohue, Chi. cago redhead, who described Ferself as a "professor of beauty--within) and without." They've Forgotten How Miss Donohue said that the trouble with American girls is that "most of them have forgotten how to blush, The result is that they never get any blood in their face, their skin fades and they become ugly." So she is forming a national asso- ciation of "blush of the month" clubs, the only requirement for which' is a blush. Ten Grades of Blushing Miss Donohue will distribute meme bership cards to her blush clubs; and is preparing alist of 10 guides to blushing. Among the slogans will bé "How are your vaso-constrictors to- day?' and "try an old-fashioned blush--it's gland." The vaso-con-' strictor, Miss Donohue explained; is the nerve that enables persons tof blush and blushing is good for thq glands. To the best blushers Miss Donohue is considering awarding as prizes pie- tures of Sonja Henie, Helen Hayes and Robert Taylor. She described them as the best blushers of our time." : SN KEEP CLEAN INSIDE!
