Something About Cut Glass.

An accident to cut glass invariably
plunges the owner of IT into clouds
OF gloom. but often these clouds have
silver Innings. Before throwing the
pieces away. examine each piece sep
arately, and see If 1t could be cut
down into anything smaller Shops
which deal in cut glass usually have
cutter on the premises" says Wo-
mans Home Companion for March.
"A case Is told of bride who. upon
entering the dining room. arrived in

from pulling, instead OF pushing. the
extension table. and as II separated In

DIR. COPELAND. WHO ACCEPTS
NEW ORLEANS CALD, SAYS
MONEY PLAYED NO PART.

Richmond Episcopalians will be in
terested TO know that the. Rev. Robert
s. COPELAND. rector Of the Church of
the Ascension, Baltimore. has accept
ed the cali to Trinity church. New
Orleans, which was extended him sew
eral weeks ago. He will enter upon
his duties there the Sunday after
Easter.
Information from Baltimore says
that DIR. COPELAND. in announcing his
decision TO his congregation. set aside
any suspicion that the second call
to the New Orleans church was In
financial or other respects different
from the first call which he declines
about a month ago. He explained
that he was led to change his mind
after he had been persuaded to visit
New orleans and there saw that the
field offers greater opportunity than
that at Ascension church.
This feature Ia of special interest
to the members of St PauPs, Rich
mond, who recall that DIR. COPELAND
got n raise from his Baltimore church
several years after he accepted q cad
to St Pauis. On that occasion he
also changed his mind and decided to
remain in Baltimore.

PILGRIMS FIGHT

TURKS USE CLUBS TO SQUELCH
MILITANT sECTS, SAYS THE
REV. DIR. BOWMAN.

Hostile Christians. jealous OF their
rights. do not hesitate to light over
the spot where our Lord was born,
according TO the Rev. J. Y. bowman,
rector of All Saints Episcopal church,
who delivered the first al a series of
lectures Wednesday night in the par
ish house Of the church on his trip
10 Palestine last summer.
Al Bethlehem, in Judea. he said a
large church ediiice OF crude Eastern
architecture occupies the site of the
place where Christ was ushered into
being. Different sections of the church
are parutioned and set aside for pill

there to Worship. Each creed is al
ways on the 'qui vive" to guard it's
rights, and II member of another
sect steps over the line OF partition.

of the law frequently have to use their
clups to squelch the militant pilgrims
Think of it, said the clergyman.
hostile Christians fight over the very
spot where our Lord and Saviour was
born, and yet such is undeniably
fact"
Dr. bowman also dwelt AT some
length on the fact that the people Of
Palestine are back numbers in every
sense Of the word. over there they
live and act to-day as they did two
thousand years ago. They use the
same Anticipated clumsy mechanical
implements. No wheel of any sort is
in evidence, the backs of human be-
ings and animals being utilized for
transportation just as they used to
do, even in the days of Abraham.
And as for sanitary conditions, he
almost blushed to tell of them. For
instance, ON the outskirts of Jeru-
salem, he said there WAS "A large pool
to which all the drainage of the city
flowed This water. he said, was used
for practical purposes, drinking in

Or. bowman made use of IL man
to illustrate his lecture. which was
replete with interest throughout. He
will deliver another lecture of the
same series next Wednesday night
and throughout the Leuten season on
the same night.

So surprisingly large and continuous
has been the demand for the PILOT
dictionary that the big supply on
hand was exhausted before the an
nouncement had been out three weeks.
As a result it was necessary to make
arrangements for an additional supply
and the advance guard of the new
stock has just arrived, not minute
too early, for the last of the nrst
shipment were being called for Satur-
day. More of the popular dictionaries
are now speeding towards Wausau TO
to FIJI the call of the PILOT readers for
the coming week.
Ii you would be sure of getting one
of the dictionaries it would be wise
for you to come in soon. No similar
offer has ever aroused such interest as
has this presentation of business,
educational and household necessity
at such figure. Just pay one year
in advance for the PILOT and SO cents
expense bonus for the S4.00 book.
All the knowledge that has been ac-
quired in the progress of events on
this globe of ours since the very birth
of tangible chronology is included in
the Webster New STANDARD Diction-
airy, which it is the privilege of the
PILOT to distribute to its readers.
