THE SUPREME VICE CHANCEL
LOR IS SUPREME WORTHY
COUNSELLOR.

AS the official organ Of the knights
of Pythias, the Advocate takes ex-
ceptions to the conclusions of the
Cincinnati Brotherhood anent the
question as to who is Supreme Wor-
thy Counsellor.
Section 2 (a), Article III. of the
Constitution and Bylaws Of the Su-
preme Lodge, Knights Of Pythias,
jurisdiction Of n. A., etc, reads: The
Supreme Vice Chancellor, in the
event Of the death, removal or Dhysi-
cal incOmpetency Of his superior shall
act as Supreme Chancellor, etc. Sec
ton l ca, Article Ill, empowers the
Supreme Chancellor to fill any vacan-
cy by appointment until filled by
regular election. The Supreme
Lodge has decided that the Supreme
Vice Chancellor shall be the Supreme
Worthy Counsellor of the Order of
Calantho, and the Order Of Calanthe
being an auxiliary body, is subject
to the Supreme Lodge.
Mr.. Green, having succeeded to
the Supreme Chancellorship by the
death Of Mr.. Starks, falls heir to all
tn" rights, privileges and preroga-
tlvHs possessed by his predecessor,
among which is the power to fill any
vacancy BY his elevation a vacancy
IS created in the Office Of Supreme
Vice Chancellor, which he has the
power to fill.
We arc not authorized to speak
Ior VII. Green, but we feel assured
that he will appoint-in fact, he
must aDDOint-a man his successor
as Supreme Vice Chancellor. Now.
since the Supreme Vice Chancellor
IS the Supreme Worthy Counsellor Of
the Order Of Calanthe, why all this
10mmy-rOt about who is the Supreme
Worthy Counsellor Of ahc Order of
NAlnnth"? The Supreme Worthy
counsellor Of the Order Of Calanthe
VIII b" tho man appointed by ST.
prem" Chancellor Green to the office
Ol supreme Vice Chancellor.
y" "ddNlOnaI authority is cited the
'r''irat" Of Kc-Incorporation, au-
'horl/'d by the Supreme Lodge,
"1I'ch specifically states that "the
H''d Suprcm" Lodge is to be the

P0IltIr and corporate, and shall have
nc exclusive right, power, and all

The heavens shall pass away with great
noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with
fervent heat, and the earth and the works therein
shall be burned up"
But the suggestion of the astronomer was pure
speculation. There apparent signs OF any
such approaching catastrophe as DR.. Langley suS-
gess as possible At any rate, we may setae
down to the conclusion that so far astronomical
forces are concerned the present order OF things
will not be disturbed for three or four million
years.
But an equally gloomy prospect is before the
world in the distant future from another cause
which is in slow operation. The length OF the
earths day is slowly increasing through the re-
tarding influence Of the tides produced by the
moon. To be sure, this effect is so slight that II
has not been directly perceptible since accurate
methods Of measuring the time Of the earths
revolution on its axis have been observed. But
that it must be taking place is as sure as that
friction will stop railroad train when the steam
is turned off.
The tides raised by the moons attraction are
distributed by the continents so to present
many anomalies but when considered in them
selves they act the same as wave three feet hlgh
constantly running in an opposite direction to
the revolution of the earth. and by friction re-
tarding its motion. Astronomers are agreed that
similar tides produced on the moon have reduced
her revolution on her axis to period Of 70 days
Eventually the revolution of the earth will be
reduced 80 that our day will be several times long
err than now. When that time comes the nights
will be SO cold that nothing can stand 1t, and II
they could the days will be so hot that what was
left by the cold would be destroyed by the heat.
But that time, also is far IN the future that the
present generation may put 1t out Of their minds.
This catastrophe will not arrive for many million
years yet. Indeed before that time arrives the

Since Adams day to this good time
IL has been only human,
Whatever be mans fault or crime,
To blame it on the woman.
If man is caught committing crime
When asked what made him do 1t,
He points some woman out each time
And says: 'She held me to it"
And even If he kills the she,
Mixed with his tears and rulings,
'TwiXt sobs and throes of misery,
He says: 1T was her doings!'
Oh, Eve, since you that apple picked
1t has been weakly human
To sob when we're by justice pricked,
And cry: 1T was the woman"

Laundry work at home would bs

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys tie
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

Noise, at first cultivated in this land
by the Indians, has reached its climax
in the college yell. 1t is used at po-
litical conventions, at christenings, and
ct women's clubs. No monument was
necessary for the man who first in
vented noise. His work lives after
him.
Noise is used by cities, which have
the first call for it. They split it up
into as many sounds as possible and
divide it among all.
Noise varies in it's volume and in
tensity, from embryonic and immature
sawmill to a baby crying in the night.
