AVIATORS’ WIVES
While avia torn fly across continents, across oceans and
to the poles, their wives wait and watch. Most of them
doubtless worry, but if so they seldom say much about it,
particularly for publication.
Recently the New York World induced a few of them
to talk briefly of their lot, among them the wives of Com-
mander Byrd, Clarence Chamberlin and Roger Williams,
three flyers who have crossed the Atlantic in airplanes and
performed other prodigious aerial feats.
Mrs. Byrd, whose husband has flown to the North Pole
and expects sewn to reach the South Pole, said: My most
awful nightmare is that the world has suddenly turned
atar-shaped. and that there are now five poles.” Meaning,
of course, that if such a thing should happen Commander
Byrd would want to fly to all five.
Mrs. Chamberlin said: "Ladies who want a grand
passion had better stick to their business men.” Mrs.
Williams said: “For u whole year at a time I hardly see
Roger at all. The economic conditions of aviation make our
living as insecure as everything else."
We have seen no expression on this subject from Mrs
Lindbergh, who so far has generally flown with the Colonel
But it would not be surprising if she should tire of th.
atrenous life, or possibly meet disaster in an evil moment
It takes courage and fortitude, we imagine, to meet the
trials of an aviator’s wife.

QUEER SUPERSTITIONS
V Superstitions regarding the prevention and cure of di<-
f ease have persisted from time immemorial, many of them
being still prevalent in the more backward sections of the
country. A few were called to mind by a recent writer, in
noting the death of an aged Kentuckian who continued to
wear earrings to the last, in the belief that they were good
for his eyesight.
Another old-time notion was that wearing u mustache
was beneficial to weak eyes, just as it was thought that
carrying a buckeye or a potato in the pocket would prevent
or cure rheumatism.
One doesn't have to Ik* so very old to remember when
children were caused to wear a little bag of asafoetida
strung around the neck as a protection against “catching”
diseases, and when in many homes bunches of various dried
herbs were hung around for the same purpose. Some be-
lieved that keeping a goat around the house was a prime
health measure.
The writer rememliers being warned when a boy not
to wade in water when afflicted with hives, lest they "strike
to his heart anti kill him." He waded, nevertheless, and
lives to tell the tale.
These superstitions, like the belief that a horsehair
placed in the rain barrel would turn into a snake, are grad-
ual y dying out—but many presumably intelligent persons
to this day will refuse to take the third light from a match
or walk under a ladder for fear of dire consequences.
HOME COMFORT SOUGi IT
One of the significant and encouraging trends of m<*»l-
ern life, both urban and rural, is the growing demand for
greater comfort in the home. This is indicated bv the in-
creasing employment in the household of modern conven-
iences and labor-saving devices which make for contentment
and health.
Engineers and manufacturers are bending their energ-
es to the development of ever better equipment to replace

Perhaps the introduction of appliances which make the
home more cheerfu and comfortable will do more toward
preservmg Mr IttlTlj!y life than all the preachments of pes-
