TO REVISE THE COMMANDMENTS
II. L. Commission Thinks First Five
Might Be Shortened.

New York, Sept. Ga proposal to
revise and shorten the first five of the
Ten Commandments will be submit
ted to the next general convention of
| the Protestant Episcopal Church. The
proposed changes are recommended by
a commission of Bishops, clergy and
laymen which has been considering
the project.
1t is proposed to eliminate portions
of the first five Commandments on the
ground that arguments for the observ-
ance of Divine Law are not essential
to the laws themselves. The revised
version of the Commandments, as pro-
posed, is as follows:
First-Thou shall have no other
Gods but Me.
Second-Thou shalt not make unto
myself any craven image, nor the like
ness of anything that is the heaven
above, the earth beneath, or in the
water under the earth; thou shalt not
bow down unto them, nor worship
them.
Third-Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord, Thy God, in vain
Fourth-Remember that thou keep
holy the Sabbath Day.
Fifth-Honor thy father and thy
mother.

In Inc old days Chalmers cars were sold
for the most part in towns like New York and
Chicago.
You can find Chalmers cars most any time

cars are most numerous today. Because the

advanced to the attack with practi.

that, in getting to the Germans wire

ORIGIN OF THE NECK RUFF
Said to Have Been Devised by Span
ish Princess for a Very Par
ticular Reason.

1t Is said that the neck ruff, the sort
worn by Queen Elizabeth, which may
be considered as the ancestor of most
of the modern starched muslin neck.
wear, was devised by Spanish prin-
cess to cover a scar or blemish on her
neck.
These dainty articles of apparel
were considered tremendous extrav-
agance when they were first intro
duced' into England. For they could
not be worn after washing. England
knew nothing Of the art Of starching
and the starched muslin was imported
from the continent.
Later some clever person, on the
lookout for new vocation, took les
sons in starching, and set up starch
ing shop in London. Even then starched
neckwear was considered vanity.
Philip Stubbes, who wrote many clever
and satirical words anent the fashions
Of his day-and published his writings
in 15S3-spoke Of starch as the 'devil's
liquor"
In those days, rs in these, the collar
that flared high and wide at the back
of the neck was held out with sup
portasses or underprops Of wire, COW
cred with gold thread, silver or silk.
