His Automatic Retirement at
Next Conference Causing
Much Comment.

The automatic retirement of Bishop
Earl Cranston at the meeting Of the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church at Saratoga Springs
next May is already causing consfd-
cradle comment among the clergy and
laity OF that denomination. At the
session OF the general conference of
four years ago an age limit was de-
cfded upon for the retirement of all
general superintendents of that church
and, as Bishop Cranston will have
reached that limdt before that time,
his retirement will take place auto
matically.
The justice of the retirement law,
together with the ACCESSIBILITY Of re-
firing able, as in the case of Bishop
Cranston, has aroused a difference of
opinion among the clergymen that
may have to do with the repeal OF
the law when the general conference
convenes in May. Although in his
seventy-fourth year, Bishop Cranston
is declared by many minister's TO, be
good for at least ten years, unless
there should be an unexpected break
down in his health. AS one clergy
man put it There is no. man in
Metfodism whose executive ability Is
superior to that of Bishop Cranston
or whose judgment is more respect

= FREEPORT, N. Y. July 24.-Dog-
fish are so numerous in Long Island
waters that they are rclutteringe UP
the fishermen's lines. No use had
been found for them until Roger
Carman cut the two little horns OF
one of the fish and used them for
needlesSon his photograph.
Carman says these dogfish horns
reproduce the records perfectly with
out any grating noise. and that there
does not seem tosbe any wear ont to
them. Contrary to expectations
there was no barking sound. no more
than there would be meowing If
catfish horns were used.
All the fishermen hereabouts are
now saving the two little horns on
each dogish with the expectation
that there will be a big demand for
them by photograph users.
