According to Cotton Mather the dark

the witchcraft frenzy that gave Salem
such sorrowful celebrity. Throughout
New England at that time witchcraft
was received as a stubborn fact by
bigoted church and civil authorities
and the criminal code OF nearly all oi
the colonies recognized It. but in Penn

FOR GIRLS
WITH WEAK ANKLES

The girl with weak ankles must
either reconcile herself TO extra heat
or TO bad falls. Low shoes are re-
sponsible for many sprain or broken

The cure. wearing high shoes, is not
80 simple as It sounds In our climate.
leather around the ankles adds much
TO physical comfort. Ar the weakest
ankles are often found on the fattest
women this discomfor. Is Increased.
If YOU are not heroic enough TO avoid
low shoes entirely. NJ least take pre-
cautions to avoid bad results
For very weak ankles it Is well 70
woar protectors OF rubhcrized silk. As
these are porous and thin they are
much cooler than leather. besides Civ

away with spider web stockings. but.
at least. prevent the warm look Of high
shoes on hot davs.
These supporters should be especially
worn with pumps and French heeled
slippers. as the ankle turns more quick
" in these two STYLES Of shoes than
in the ordinary. thick-soled oxford.
Better vet Is It to strengthen the
ankles themselves. Never omit, morn

endurance. besides keeping the ankle

there rather than lower down. and the

Massage deeplv using good cold
cream or lanolin. and be sure-to rub

ADOPTS SINGLE
COMMUNION CUP
Official Board Of Harrison
Street ME-. Church Decides
That 1t is Better

Declaring that 1T is uncleaniy anu
dangerous for several hundred persons
70 drink from the same vessel with
out cleansing" and recognizing that
in the light Of the vigorous education
now going on. such custom must
soon fall into disuse," the official board
Of Harrison M. e. Church at its month
ly meeting last night unanimously de-
cided to use Individual communion
cups in the communion service.
The action was taken after a dis
cussion that occupied the larger part
Of the meeting At its close a COM
mittee was appointed 10 obtain the
single cup communion set, and 1T will
be used al the next communion ser
vice in Harrison Street Church. Har-
rison Street Church will be the second
Methodist Church In this city to adopt
the single cup communion service, II
having been used for some time IN

which the Rev. DR. Hiram W. Kellogg
having advocated IL in an address IN
the church at the time the tubercu-
t1sis exhibit Of the Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention of tuberculosis was
being exhibited here.
That the action taken by the boar
last night would result In the adoption
OF the single cup service in all tho
other NJ E' churches Of the city wa'
the hope expressed by the members
The views Of some OF the speakers wer,
as Follows: Everybody nowadays real,
ICES that It is uncleanly and dangerous
for several hundred persons TO drinl
from the same vessel without cleansing
In he fr~Isa - a.
cation now going on such a custom
must soon fall into disuse. Tho
churches should take the initiative and
eliminate this unsanitary feature from
their most sacred service and not wall
until the public demand forces such
a change. There is nothing in th6
change TO detract from the solemnity
or dignity Of the service"
The following from the Christian Ad
vocate was read and endorsed:
There was a time when this was
considered a fad but sentiment Is
changing Oppose it who may, II Is
bound 20 become increasingly popu-
lar, and some day will be, universal
Many pastors now carry a napkin ant
wipe the rim Of the cup for eact
communicant. Others turn the cur
around as they pass from one tC
another and at each table cleanse the
goblet with a cloth. This is scarcely an
appeal TO good taste; II fails to reacl
the end desired and Is a poer make
shift. We hail the individual method.

GROWERS
WERE ALARMED

Despite the cold spell, experts on
peaches and other fruit say that little
damage was done to the fruit crops last
night. There was a wind most Of the
time and this kept the trees in motion,
Only half the peach buds are out, and
although these were all destroyed,
there is still a big crop TO mature. So
said Secretary Wilson Slaymaker, Of
the state Board of Agriculture, at
wyoming last night
Various reports were received from
down the state, and most Of them
were encouraging. Small fruit is un-
harmed.
The growers around Georgetown
were frightened and fear another night
like last night will cause irreparable
loss to the peach trees
At Delmar the wind was so high that
the peach blossoms are believed 70
have escaped injury The outlook is

GOTCH DEFEATS
RUSSIAN LION
By United Press Leased Special wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
CHICAGO, April .-Hackenschmidt
has come and gone, leaving behind him
IA streak Of yellow. Fully 10000 per-
sons witnessed the decisive deGeat a
George Hackenschmidt, the Russian
lion, when after mole than two hours
OF heavy finessing, Hack quit and
surrendered his title of world champion
mat artist to Frank Gotch, of Iowa.
formerly champion of America.
Unable throughout the long route to
make use of his much vaunted strength,
the beginning of the end appeared fol-
lowing mix up in which the Iowan
seized him from behind, picked him up
bodily and threw the mighty lion to the
mat-and then the toe hold
Hack worked hard to regain his feet,
but Gotch twisted his toe at the same
time pumping his stomach, and the
lion WAS tanned, without a fall. Gotoh
was then awarded the match and the
worlds championship.
1t was a superb exhibition Of Ameri-
can gameness and cleverness all
through, pitted against the phlegrnatic
Idoggedness of the premier mat artist
Of Europe, and Hack could not stand
the gaff
In a statement given out to-day
Gotch expressed his intention of ac-
loepting an offer for an European tour
at a salary Of $500 a week at once.
Until the return Of the new cham
pion after his engagement, the fans
Of the mat game viii watch the work
Of Frank Bell and Young Americus, OF
Baltimore, as probable aspirants for
the title.
Three times during the bout Hack
lsignihed his intention Of quitting, and
he could be heard begging the Ameri-
can to quit and call It a draw. Fol
lowing the decision, after one hour and
lhfty-five minutes, the Russian signified
his intention of surrendering the fall
When seen in his dressing room lateI
he refused to finish the match, pleading
an injury to his stomach, and the
match was awarded to Gotch.
At this juncture hundreds of the fol-
lowers Of the game leaped to the plat
form and the victorious champion wal
carried on the shoulders of the GROVE
TO the tune Of "Hail, the ConquerinE
Hero Comes"
