' . : ^ New Year's ffi w\ KATHRYN BARNAN STYLE SHOP T ^ DEBUNKE8 By John Harvey Fvrbay, PhJ>. WEARW DO MOT LPSE THEIR LUSTER ON A IAD WOMAN In spite of abundant scientific evidence-- not to niention common reason-- to the contrary, there are still many people who believe the old superstition that beautiful pearls will lose their luster when worn by a bad woman. There is, of course, no effect whatever upon the pearls, whether worn by good or bad persons. Perhaps the belief arose from the fact that nothing looks beautiful on a bad woman, not because the beautiful thing changes, but because the woman affects our eyesight. Similar superstitions state that flow*, ers wilt quickly on "fickle women," and stay fresh long on vurtuout women. c (Public L*<u*r--WNU Scrvicfe) First 'Sit-Down' Strike The first known sit-down strike took place in 700 B. C., according to Dr. Don D. Lesvohier, University of Wisconsin professor. A group of Egyptian cemetery workers, he said, struck whefl their pay in cabbage and fish was not delivered promptly. Similar demonstrations were started about 1490 A. D., but soon lost favor, he said.
