CONVENTION HOLDS
FOR CHURCH UNITY
Program of Those Interested
in the Cause Finds Favor
With Deputies.
Amendment Making Office of
Bishop Elective is Expected
to be Brought Up Again for
Consideration.

NEW YORK. Oct. is.--The propo-
s!tion to establish a court of appeals
in the Episcopal Church was ef-
fectively disposed OF in the house of
deputies this morning. Not only did
the house. sitting as a committee of
the whole decide against such estab-
lishment by a vote Of 1873 to 1856 hut
also, sitting as the house of deputies,
again decided on a vote by orders not
TO have 1t.
1t was moved that the matter be re-
ferred to a joint commission to re-
port To the next convention. This also
was voted down by an overwhelming
majority of both clerical and lay dep
uties. 1t is therefore. likely that the
matter will not he brought up again
for at least six years,
fractional Discard Allay ed.
Up to date the program of those
who are chiefly interested in the
cause of church unity seems TO have
had most favor with the deputies. The
general scheme for world confer
ence on the matter received enthus-
iastic approval, and the house of dep
iuties has succeeded in side-tracking
many resolutions and memorials that
might have tendency to stir up fac
tional differences within the Church
at time when she is urging upon
otHeF NflHICl1hS Int HtGt~S4ty III COtIi-
ing to some common understanding as
to matters of faith and order. Other
resolutions that connect cooperation
with other churches have been well
received.
Two OF these were put on the cal
endar for further discussion today.
The first makes the joint commission
on social service a permanent body
land authorizes concerted action with
similar bodies in other churches that
are lahoring TO improve the condi-
ton of the poor and to bring about
better understanding between capital
and labor.
"A second resolution approves the
purpose and plan of the federal coun-
ell of the churches of Christ In Amer
lea to promote unity among the
churches and authorizes the commits
sions of the convention ON Christian
unity, and social service to send dele
gates To the federal council.
Resolution Not Dead.
Despite the fact that the proposed
amendment 10 the constitution making
tho office of presiding bishop elective
was turned down by the house of
bishops after favorable action by the
house OF deputies the matter is likely
to come before the convention again.
The Rev. r. l.. Parsons, OF California,
proposed today that joint commits
sion be Immediately appointed to re-
draft this constitutional amendment,
so that preliminary action may he
taken on II at this convention. His
resolution was put upon the calendar.
The house OF bishops resolved to-
day to appoint joint commission Of
six members to take UP with the prop
er authorities the matter OF establish
ing more .chnpiains In the United
States army and navy.

COLLEGE LITE.

A college professor in confidence the other day how much he depIored the tendency of the colleges to be- come training schools for the children of wealthy men. Most serious mind ed young people, he said, go to the technical schools now.
 His indictment did not refer so much to the colleges in the younger states as to the famous old instttu- tions of the East. But no doubt the tendencies he deplored exist in most well endowed institutions.
 According to his idea, the dominat- ing purpose now. in sending a boy to college is to help him make friends and to form useful personal connec- tions. It may be an exaggerated view, but these are tendencies to which the baccalaureate and commencement or ators may well give prominence.
 The boy who thinks the pulls of college friendship may carry him high in after life, may find later that the earnest, toiling students of the technical schools, have acquired the efficiency that is the only real basis for success.

FINISHING THE

As one looks over the newspaper stories of High School graduating exercises, it seems too bad that the classes are so small compared with the population. And the few boys look lonesome.
 Among the more recently arrived Immigrants, children often quit at about the seventh grade. Many of them will by and by be parading with flags marked ''No God, No Master '' perhaps 'tNo Government
 The families of these children need their wages. But many others in fairly comfortable circumstances are quitting far too soon.
 The boy of about 15 is consumed with a desire to have spending mon ey of his. own. He sees his older brother treating the ginls at moving picture shows, ice cream stands, and on motor car rides. A dollar a day pocket money dazzles his eyes so that he cannot sec the chances of larger success farther on. To cure his list lessnesa, the parents fooIishly let him go to work.

Woman Bather Is Nearly Drowned Al
 Fairfield Beach

E Fairfield July 18-Mrs. Allen P. Til- lfnghast, wife of the manager of the Bridgeport News Go, was rescued from 3, watery grave last evening by Roland s. Hill, draughfsman with the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. The near fatality occurred early last evening Falling into mud hole, Mrs Filling has was about to go down for third time when MT. Hill reached her side. She was so overcome and exhausted and had swallowed so much water = that it was necessary to roll her con tinuously on a barrel on the beach for most half an hour before she showed signs of life. RestoFatives and stirn- ulants were then applied and she was removed to her home, the Pioneer cot tage, where today she is resting com fortably.
 swim last evening the tide was way out. It was necessary to go out a goodly distance to reach deep water. Returning, Mrss Tillinghast came back by a different route, dropping sud denly into a mud hole When she could not extrfcate herself, probably overcome by the shock of dropping, she shouted for help. MT. Hill with Jos eph Kiernan, Bridgeport news deal CT, were walking on the shore. With out divesting himself of his clothes, MT. Hill rushed into the waters soon reaching Mrs. Tillinghast who had aI- ready disappeared twice under the water He secured firm hold on her arm and carried her shoreward. When the woman was taken ashore life appeared to be extinct, but wa liant work on the part of neighbors brought back the f1ickering spark of life There have been many near drownings at Fairfield beach this sea- son, but last evenings was the near est to a fatality to date.

THE TRUSTS AND
 THE BREAKFAST TABLE

The governments suit against the oatmeal trust" is an appropriate sub- ject to discuss while the omnipresent cereal bowl and cream pitcher are travelling around the breakfast table.
 It is commonly said that nations habits of eating are as hard to change as its religion. An exception must be made in the introduction of the breakfast food habit. In millions of homes the clean simmer of the cereal pot or the yellow box of cooked grains on the pantry shelf, has driven out the greasy frying pan.
 It has been a, change for the better. Sausages, fried pork, and pie, great quantities of which used to be used for breakfast, were at best a heavy and greasy fodder to begin the day with. Although the cereal eater may some times partake unconsciously of grain rniddlings intended for the stable rath- CT than the house, as a whole, adul- iteration is not common, and these preparations are clean and very heaIthfuL
 The spread of the cereal habit has been a wonderful example of what can be done through advertising. It is usually said that to advertise suc- cessfuny. one must appeal to wants and needs that people have previous- Iy been conscious of. The cereal.ma- kers created a new demand. and sold the American people thing that they did not know they wanted.
 Of course fancy as well as fact has been mingled with their enthu- siastic publicity work. One popu- lar cereal, 'tis said, can be eatisfac- torily initiated by taking dried bread crusts, soaking them in watered mo lasses, drying well, and then grinding in a coffee grinder. But that may be nothing against it.
 If the oatmeal trust has been gain ing undue profits by unjust marrying of it's competitors. the American peo- pie will have something to say about it. But probably the Consumer will gain more by the simple expedient of buying his cereals in bulk than from the astuteness of the government s sltckest lawyers
