Can't Kill The Kilt
Ia.:valise. fewer people have
boon wearing kilts since the war,
-
a society- has been formed in
Scotland to make them more
popular. The society. points out
that a boy wearing a hilt is
rarity in Inverness and even in
Edinburgh, the capital of Scot-
land, most boys seem to pre-
fer troascrs.
Lectures will be given this
autumn on how the kilt should
be worn and people are hong
asked to wear the kilt as their
leisure dress,
The kilt cis we know it today
dates INA; C) the early part of
'the 5eventeenth century, but
some of the oldeot sculptures
in she world show the ancient
Assyrians in "kilts", while Many

the conquered 'Britons were alae

Altenipt :after attempt has
made to kill the kilt. All
have failed. Parliament banned
the wearing of the kilt in 1147 -
declaring it to be a symbol of
ehloyalty, but 1110 Act was re-
pealell about forty years later.
A..a.Oed kilt story concerns the
South African - War when a
chivalrous Boer coararnander, see-
ing kilted Highlanders in action
for the feat time, - refused tO
order his men to "fire on

Queer Places
To Hide iVioney

People who distrust banks and
fear burglars ehoose• aatonishing
hiding -places for their money.
Some times they are so inacnious
In finding a- "safe place" for it
• that they forget where it is or
that it ever existed.
• It's hard. to believe that a man
could wrap £400 ili banknotes
round a cistern pipe—and then
move away from the house,
leaving it behind. A Liverpool
-man did this. He forgot- all about
iter money until the ne:et .tenant
discovered it while checking the
lagging on the pipes.
A strange story of an old man's
forgotten hoard was told in
Dumbarton police court in 1927
when a petition was presented to
have the sum of --195 Ms paid
over to him. • • • -
The Fon had been digging in
. the garden at the rear of his
house when he unearthed a tin
ean containing this sum in notes.
He reported his find to the po-
lice, little guessing that the own-
er was hie own father who had
lived in the house for thirty
years and was now living else-
where.
-The old man's memory- had.
failed and he had forgotten the
buried money until reminded by
the wide publicity given at the
time of the find. •.
The court decided that'. the
money should be paid over to
the old Mari, less ton per cent
(the cost ofthe petition) and a
reward of ten ner cent to the
son who found it. -
Another thrifty old man, liv-
eng in Eire, got the shock of his
life when his wife told him she
had sold "that grubby old pil- _
low" in the attic to a feather
merchant for ls
It contained X400, his life sav-
ings. Secretly and systematically
he had stuffed the pillow with
paper money, never telling his
wife. When he recovered front
the shock, he hurried in a neigh-
bour's van to the feather mer-
chant's ,.premises, where he
bought back the pillow for 55,
seeing he wanted it for "senti-
mental reasons." The merchant
only learned months afterwards
what a fortune he had en nar-
rowly missed.
Police in Frankfurt, Germany,

frigerator of a man who thought
he had hit upon an ideal method

Triage remains a mystery, -
It always puzzled a South
London housewife that her Amp -
keeper husband kept an old
dustbin wedged in the corner of
a shed beneath a pile of rags
and other rubbish.
She always used another dust-
bin for household refuse and
could never understand why her
husband would never have Ilir
shed bin emptied with it.
One morning she decided to
have her • own way. When the
dustman called she asked him to
empty the seeond dustbin 5 well.
How could she have known
that her eieeantale husband kept
his savings in it and that aa the
pile of rags went hurtling into
the dusteert more than .il 150
wont with them?.
He didn't discover his loss an -
til next day. Frantic with anxi-
ety, he dashed off 50 the local
council's offices and found that
the refine ayes elead' ,at the
dump. When the °niceties realiaed
the situation.they ordered a
scarah for the seem or more little
canvas bags in which the looney
was stewed.
Hours passed, the owner fev-
erishly helping in the search.
Just as the men were due to
'knock Off" for the day, his taunter
was found knave Dela kept it in
o batik ever since.
Bank Officials say that oven
today there ii e some peo-
ple who thinly believe that once
their money goes into boa
they are not likely to see it again.
They prefer to have it in hard

AF a result, these odd folk

When an elderly woman was
knocked down in a Blackpool
street and rushed to hospital,
some X4,000 was found hidden
in Shames of special pockets she
had added to her garments. Each
pocket was either lightly stitched
or secured with strong pins.
A Bristol woman used to put
all her spare 1.:1 notes into a
seldom -used electric washer. One
clay she suddenly .decided to use
the washer,- forgetting it was also
her home "bank." By the time
she remembered, her .980 worth
of notes were churned In frag-
ments,
She sent them to the Bank of
England, but the experts could
piece together only fifty-four of
the notes. That woman's absent-
mindedoess had cost her ,C26.
It is well known that coun-
try people living far irom banks
sometimes hoard money.. One
French peasant . concealed his
notes by stuffing them dowri the
barrel of 0 eporting gun which
hung on the well of his kitchen.
Early next morning he saw a
hare ren across his cottage gar-
den, forgot all about his savings
and fired the gun at it, blowing
his money into shreds.
Notes • worth £016 10s were
found in a rusty candy tin which
tumbled down the chimney of e
Yorkshire hetthe in 1940. They
were later restored to a widow
who had lived in the house for
twenty-five years.
The notes were hidden during
the first world war and then ap-
parently forgotten.
Even more • unusual was the
- way in which a fortune of .113,000
was discovered. A woman who
had inherited a Surrey house
from her father swatted a fly one
day with extra vigour and made
a hole in the thin wooden panel-
ling of a wall. imide lay the
money her father had hidden
twenty years before. It had been
searched for in vain ever sham
his death, for he had left no clue
as to its whereabouts.

BIG JOKE, BUT NOT EVERYONE LAUGHED—Catsup may pep up the flavor of hamburgets,
but put in the hands of young, imaginative pranksters, it can wreak havoc in a community.
That's exactly what happened in Bensalem an d Bristol Townships. Bill Jones, arm extended.
daubed his arm with catsup, then hid in a car trunk, letting the red -stained arm dangle out.
