Mr. Claude. Grahame White, the ia
nous English aviator, is constantly
besought by young women to teach
them to become aviators. Many make
application by letter. One of these
letters reached him the other day
from point in Missouri. Cleared of
its errors in grammar, spelling and

this:

thirty years ago. The new act Sc

vention of revengeful treatment OF
dogs or other animals after a con-
vicition of an owner for cruelty. and
provides a deterrent to the cruel
also provides for the inspection OF
spring traps every twelve hours. and
imposes penalties on those who sell
poisoned grain or seed, or who place
poison without taking reasonable pre-
cautions against access to it by dogs
or other domestic animals.
Contrast this legislation with the
| comparatively hard time for animal
life that followed the great hydro
phobia epidemic. Many dogs were
then destroyed. and there was univer-

much more secure a place the dog

ton and a reflection upon present

Rev. K. T. Greenleaf. who recently
resigned the pastorate Of the Leban-

Protestant churches, because. in view
of the present high cost of living. the
salary was not sufficient to provide
an adequate living for his family,

of the reasons for his resignation, was
left by the conference without an ap-
pointment for the ensuing year.
THE business world today does not
know the conditions surrounding the
financial affairs of the ministry" con-
tinued Rev. Mr.. Greenleaf. The
church itself covers up the matter
because if the truth became known
the whole religious institution would
be shamed The ministers them
selves suppress the facts because OF
their fear that the pulpits of churches
would be closed to them in the future
or because of a belief that the money
mad world would charge them with

mand more pay.
