societies of the college. In this he told
her where he left some money that he

SUPREME LODGE X. OF P.
New System of Transfer of Member
ship Adopted-Whisky Question
Still Being Affiliated

Washington, Sept. 5.-The Supreme
Lodge Knights of Pythias devoted it's
morning session, today, to discussing
the proposed new statues, and adopted
a new system of transfer of member
ship.
Under former rules, a member taking
a card of withdrawal from a lodge
ceased to be a member of the order and
was obliged to apply for admission to
another lodge on the same terms, as
one who had been initiated. The new
rules. provide that by paying dues for
ninety days, knight may retain his
membership in his old lodge unless
admitted to another within that time
The committee to which was referred
the question of the course to be taken
toward the disloyal past supreme chan
to make known the nature of it's
recommendations until the report has
been submitted to the supreme lodge.
Three past supreme chancellors took
part in the Indianapolis meeting of the
German contingent when it was de-
cided to defy the mandate of the SUI
preme lodge forcing the printing of the
ritual in the English language. For
their action Supreme Chancellor Black
port that they should be expelled from
the lodge.
the reports Of the committee favor
ing exclusion of liquor dealers from
future membership in the order, and
the restraining of the German lodges
from performing the ritual in their
language, are ready for presentation,
but will probably not be considered un-
til late in the session. 1t is under
stood the report upon several past
supreme chancellors- recommends that
a committee be appointed to investigate
the circumstances of the Indianapolis
convention, and if the election of that
meeting is found to constitute dis
loyalty the past supreme chancellors
who took part be discharged from par
ticipation in the proceedings of the
supreme lodge.

Lead is very weak; the offerings
have been unusually plentiful, but con-
sumers have been reluctant to buy,
those in the west having anticipated
the bulk Of their wants for the coming
month. while those in the east are dis
inclined to do anything at the moment,
because of 8 belief that the lower quo
tations established abroad will result
in a decline here where lead has al
ready been offergd at 81 for either spot
or future delivery. Buyers price is
1920. At the former, foreign lead can
probably be laid down here.

at f10 rs. 6d.@f10 5s., but is now to be
quoted at f9 lis. Cd. @f9 Cd. for Spanish
lead, and at f10@f10 Is. Sd. for English

has sold as low at S305. Consumers
are rather apathetic and believers in

MeTAPhoRICALLY SPEAKING.
>shst Is Meant by Warm and Cold
Clothing

When we speak of warm or cold
clothing we use as absolute metaphor
as when we talk of the sun going
down or the rosy fingered dawn"
Clothes can communicate neither
heat nor cold TO the body Fur Is not
warm nor linen cool. SAYS the Phila-
delphia Press, except as they serve as
conductors for the heat generated by
the body itself. Fur and wool are ex-
cellent non-conductors of heat, that is
they do not allow the heat Of the body
to escape SO easily as some other ma
terials, and the reason why fur IS one
of the poorest conductors of heat IS
not, as might be supposed. so much be
cause Of its thickness and weight as
because of the air which IS
mingled with or confined between
its tibers. confined air being one
OF the most cffectual lnon-conductors Of
heat known. Newspapers are another
OF the best nOn-conductors of heat
and 4 sheet of one folded and laid be
tween the shoulder blades will warm
that pOster:or region as effectually as il
warns the hearts of its readers-who
happen to be OF the same politics OF
course the colder the atmosphere the
greater the escape Of bodily heat and
the greater the necessity Of its conser-
vation by non-conducting clothing.
And clothing should always be varied
to correspond to the variations OF
temperature. a fact which is recog-
nized and met by the Chinese, who
speak of the weather as ''one jocket
cold, two jockets cold" etc. OF course
there can be no rule applicable to all,
and the ability to generate and main
tain heat must be the criterion. Chill
dren and old people have less OF this
ability than those in the prime OF life,
and consequently need greater protec-
ton or conservation of what they do
generate, and, in the case of children
at least, the dictates of fashion should
never be allowed to interfere with
those of health and comfort.
