coIored brethren In session.

WILMINGToN. N. c., May 4.-The
twentieth quadrennial conference ol
the African Methodist Episcopal church
lin the United States opened here to-
day, and will continue for three
weeks. In the selection of delegates
and in legislative functions the confer
ence is patterned after that of the
white Methodist, church, now in ses-
ston IN Cieveiand. This gathering,
also, is to take up the yexed women
question upon the issue Of admitting
them to seats in the conference. The
matters OF Episcopal visitation and ST.
perv;sion and OF changing the presid-
ing eldership system, are also likely to
be debated at length. Since the last
quadrennial conference, four bishops
have died, and there are numerous
candidates for the vacancies.

The name If the Swiss is generally
identified with the long pike Of the IS
foot shaft, and most gallant attempts
have been made 10y recent writers TO
prove that this celebrated weapon was Il
Swiss invention and employed by the

however, is one that must remain un-

long pike is found in an order addressed
in 1927 by Count Philip of Savoy to the
buTghcls of Turin, and no one can tell
whether the Savoyards borrowed it from
the Swiss or the Swiss from the Savoy.
