In many of the European countries
the st. Valentine day kiss was ex-
changed between young people as a
token OF good will. The exact nature
of such an osculatory performance is
somewhat vague. Though the same
conscientious chronicler does not men,
ton the relationship. 1t suggested that
the st. Valentine day kiss is a third
cousin at least, deceased. of the IA
nous soul kiss. There is some doubt
on this point. however, for in no way
can an exegesis of the word affinity"
lead the Investigator back to that
time. On the other hand, the fact that
this custom is now in vogue uni
versally-not on st. Valentines day,
but on other days, and far into the
night as WELLS significant. The only
difference is that the so-called St.
Valentine day kiss of the present is a
token of good willard other things.

SON OF DIR. PATTON
 BECOMES A CATHOLIC

PRINCETON, N. J.-Paul Patton, son of the Rev. Dr. Francis L. Patton, formerly president of the Princeton University and who resigned recently as president of Princeton Theological Seminary. has become a communicant of the Roman Catholic Church, it was announced here The announcement was confirmed by Dr. Patton.
 The fact caused the most profound sensation, principally in view of the fact that the young mans father has been considered a foremost educator in the Presbyterian church.
 As soon as it was known here that Paul Patton, who is 32 years old and in the service of the British govern ment as an engineer in Bermuda, had been converted to the Catholic faith, certain persons attributed to this fact the recent retirement of Dr. Patton from the presidency of the seminary. Dr. Patton denied this.

With the coming OF the New Year
the United States government will en-
<sr into q new field OF enterprise
fhe transmittal of merchandise by what
b known as the parcel post.
1t Ia no %exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inQuir-
les have been made Of the postmaster
general as to Just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. It was
the law Of congress establishing the
system which made provision for a
division OF the country In zones
and into 81 900 units which are to be
used an centers In describing the cir
0les which mark the boundaries OF
the zones, There has been no clear
understanding. apparently. of this
sone system, but really It Ia a very
simple matter.
The accompanying map shows tho
country divided into zones from the
anti In which Washington is sit
eated, az the center. Accompanying
the map Ia a table showing the rate
Of postage per pound for parcels from
Washington TO places within all the
zones.
Each unit contains an area thirty
milea square. Now each unit Is a
center from which the zones are
crsw n and 80 every unit In the coun-
cry no matter where II Ia situated will
have drawn from It Just exactly
- Washington has them drawn from
II For instance, take Keokuk. Ia,
which Is in a unit in the fifth zone.
From that will be drawn circles ex.
actly as they are drawn from Wash.
mgton and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one, just az they
are numbered from Washington as
number n OF course, however
Zone Six will have a different geo
graphical position as related to Keo
tuk than II has as related to Wash
ington, but as the radius OF the circles
