Of the historic parishes of London
of st. Christopher-le - Stocks. which,
strangely enough, contains that re-
gion about the Bank of England and
the Royal Exchange, a localit-' that
has been called "the financial hub of
the world says a writer in the
Philadelphia Record.
This parish, standing in the very
heart of the British metropolis, con-
tains no church, no municipal office.
Yet its value in parochial and Off
cial sense is quite equal to that OF
many another parish in London con-
tanning thousands of taxpayers. There
is but one voter in the parish, strange
to say.
1t is said that the parish of st.
Christopher e- Stocks was founded
about 700 years ago, but by whom or
exactly how no one seems to know
For a long time the church of this
parish stood in Threadneedle street,
on the site of the present Bank of
England. This church was demol-
ished in the year 1881, at the time of
the Improvement of the bank. The
church was. from all accounts "a
stately edifice heautified by the
genius of Sir Christopher Wren af-
ter the great fire. 1t was embellished
by gifts from the citys wealthy aid
ermen.
What is thought to be the first au
thentic reference to this church is
found in the records of the year 1892
when one Richard Sherington, a
wealthy merchant, made to it many
and divers gifts" 1t is contended,
however, that the church was in ex-
istence at least a century before,
since outside the gate stood a pair
of stocks for the punishment of those
offending within the city limits. In

Ranch Devoted to Plant

was developed, to Southern Califor-
mia, because here it was possible to
grow the bulbs for filling orders out
of doors.
During the year 1918 fifteen acres
were devoted to bulb culture, all from
that one tiny bulb of twenty
years ago.
Some of the bulbs were killed by the
heavy frost and only ten acres could
be planted this year. Many orders
remained untitled.
Japsnese laborers are employed har-
vesting and marketing the bulbs,
which are disposed of to florists and
seed houses all over this country. This
year some of them will cross the At
lantic to Europe.
The work of harvesting the field
grown bulbs continues until July /.
Those grown under glass from which
are obtained the choicest blooms come
to bloom in February, March and
April. There are twenty-five green
houses 1916 feet by 100 feet on. the

CLASSIFIED.

a clyde correspondent has sent us
an Illuminating essay on Editors"
which he asks to believe was written
by high school freshman-of Cylde,
perhaps-who was endeavoring to an
swer the question, Describe the du-
ties of an editor"
Here it Is;
There are three kinds of editors,
tau lean ones, short fat ones and
mean editors.
Fat editors write funny things,
such as jokes and society news; lean
editors write the common things,
such as war news and murders, and
the mean ones write the rest of the
stuff about Harry Thaw and Roose-
welt. This class also writes poetry.
Editors get their news from the
newspapers.
1t is possible that this obseryant
freshman is first cousin of the little
girl who wrote the admired essay on
Men"
Men are what women marry. They
drink and smoke and swear, but don't
go to church. Perhaps if they wore
bornets they would. They are mare
logical than women and also more
geological. Both men and women
sprung from monkeys, but the women
sprung farther than the men" -Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

A crowd of small boys was gather

New Hampshire one day trying to

standing near watched them for a

ticket seller he said: Let all the

turned and said, Twenty eight"

making a foreign supply unavailable
During the past year the naval con-
sumption has been about one million
barrels. Owing to the lower prices
ruling at the present time, there will
be a saving of about $500 600 on the
contracts for the next fiscal year as
compared with the year before.
The question has been raised
whether it is safe for the government
to depend upon present sources of
supply. Legislation is pending in
Congress authorizing the purchase of
enough oil-bearing territory to assure
at all times IAN adequate stock on
hand for naval requirements. 1t is
proposed to take possession of oil
lands on Indian reservations in Okla
homa and 70 pipe the oil to tanks at
the seaside. There would be little
question of the saving and security to
be effected by the ownership and
opera ton of oil wells, but there can
be no certainty of an adequate con-
tinuing production Oil territory is
ase rule. rapidly exhausted. The
quantity to be obtained from any
given acreage, wherever located, is a
matter of extreme uncertainty. Oil
has been found in many parts of the
world, but in no part in steady and
unlimited supply. At present there
is an opulent outturn of oil in Okla
homa, Texas and California, but nc
man can say how long it will last al
| the present rate of depletion. The
matter of future supply must always
| be a matter of guess.

OIL for the MarshIps.

There is no question about the adj
vantages resultant from the supsti-
tuition of oil in place of coal as the
fuel for the navy. The oil is easier
stored, easier handled, requires FEWER
men to do the stocking, and enables
vessels to traverse much longer dis

Echo Saves Ship from Disaster in Coli

NEW YORK, June 22.-Captain
Weeks, of the British freighter, Isles

echo saved his ship from collision
with an iceberg.
Just after midnight, June 16, in
foggy weather off the New Foundland
Banks, Captain Weeks sounded the
usual five-second blast on the fog
horn and thought he heard another
steamers reply. He stopped his ship
and after waiting a minute he blew
again. This time he caught a signal
from starboard and apparently very
close,
Realizing that it must be either the
whistle of another steamer he had
heard or the echo of his own blast
thrown back by a big iceberg close
by Captain Weeks sounded six al
ternate long and short blasts, which
were returned just as he gave them

Theatres Cause Eye strain.
/ From Journal OF the American Medical
Association.
The most frequent cause of head
aches occurring during or after the
theatre is eye strain People who use
the fun energy Of the delicate eye
muscles TO obtain perfect vision are
often unconscious Of this strain. In
the theatre the continuous effort to
keep everything constantly focused
/ exhausts the nerve centres and head
ache results. The practise of seating
the audience in total darkness while
they are staring into an intensely
i lighted stage is another serious
factor. The pupils, being widely
dilated in the dark, admit the excess
of light from the stage, often pro-
ducing irritation of the eyes which
lasts sometimes for days.
Those subject to headaches should
never sit where it is necessary to raise
the eyes to watch the stage This
unnatural position of the eyes is very
tiresome even to those who never
have trouble at other times.
