METHODIST bishops
DISCUSS Blue Laws
Indicate Opposition TO Cards
and Dancing, But Permit
movie" Shows
NO NEGRO BISHOP
FOR THE CHURCH

DAWSON. Pa. April 22.-The chief
subject discussed yesterday by the 10
bishops Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. assembled for conferences at
Linden Hall. the home of Mrs. Sarah
B. Cochran, was the proposed con-
solidation OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. More than passing in
terest was also shown in a discussion
of the rule i'm the church discipline
which forbids indulgence in card
playing theatres and dancing.
"lt is unlikely that any change will
be made i'm this rule" said one Of the
bishops 1t is difficult to have laws
repealed when they are placed on the
books. They are something like tho
blue laws Of some States Perhaps i'm
Pennsylvania. if the blue laws were
strictly observed. persons would be
unable even 10 have milk delivered on
Sunday. The blue laws were enacted
when every one had COWS. They may
have been all right then. but few OF
ues have COWS now and we must have
our milk on Sunday mornings.
There is no doubt that a majority
of the members OF the church want
the rule TO remain in force. I'm some
sections there is strong feeling
against dancing; in others. the people
will not tolerate card playing. Per-
haps in some places the rule against
dancing seems to work a hardship
upon young folks. Many high schools
give dances at commencement time
and Methodist children see no harm
In attending them"
The bishops do not seem TO oppose
motion pictures. and one expressed
himself as favoring them as a form
/ OF amusement.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Most Of the Trading Commodi-
ties Strong, Many Taking
on Marked Advances.
STEEL MAKES BIG GAIN

New York, Aug 15.-Several important
factors added appreciably to the scope and
strength of today's session. Chief among
these were the increasing optimism shown
In high quarters regarding the railway
labor negotiations and the imminence Of
the new British loan. which Is expected to
relieve the local market OF recurrent fears
Of foreign liquidations.
Rails and Investment issues generally
responded freely to wide demand and
specialties of virtually all descriptions
scored substantial gains, under lead of the
automobile shares, which made immediate
response to the declaration of initial diyi-
dends on Maxwell common and second pre-
ferred.
Another factor Of sentimental value was
United States Steel. which rose ~ points
to 89h, its highest quotation since last
year. and within striking distance of its
best price snice 1910. Steel and Reading

activity, buying Of the latter being again

gain Of IN points. which was partly
shaded in the profit taking movement Of
the final hour.

istered marked gains, the latter Incident
ally issuing its preliminary statement for
the fiscal year, showing net increase Of
almost VIC 10000 Norfolk d western,
New Haven, and Nickle Plate featured the
other rails.
Munitions derived much OF their strength
from Bethlehem Steel, which increased its
recent gain by 10 points. with for the
preferred Gulf State Steel common and
second preferred registered average gains
OF 4 points, Crucible and Lackawanna ad-
yanced / and 2, and equipments, with few
exceptions, made similar improvements.
The shipping group was consistently strong,
with new high records for Atlantic, Gulf.
and West indies at So, and Mercantile
Marine common at 2S&.
Total sales Of stocks amounted to 67o,-
900 shares.
Exchange on London was dull, with
another large import Of gold from that
center. Remittances to Berlin and Vienna
were firm.
Bonds were steady. with very large
proportion Of the dealings limited to Anglo
French Is, and the new French notes at
unchanged quotations.. Total sales Of bonds,

The market braced up today after hav-
ing been steadily dropping for a solid week.
General quality Of the offerings was not as
good as yesterday. receipts running more
largely to feeders. and while on paper the
prices paid for the bulk of fat lambs did
not show up quite SO well as yesterday,
the market was called fully steady to, II

kinds were II anything a little higher.
Bulk Of the ewes again went for feed
ers and breeders. and packers found the
picking mighty slim. They paid steady to
strong prices for the few they did get, Civ
ing as high as $3.50 for few head. and
1856 for loads.
The feeder trade opened brisk. More
feeders were here than on any one previous
day this season, but demand was also

In Dangerous Condition
From the Loss of Blood

Jack Sheplar, a roomer in fiat 10,
at 1925 Chicago street, is in( St. Jo-
seph's hospital in dangerous condi-
ton from loss of blood and shock
as the result of fight with a negro,
Wallace Cay.
Shepler said that Cay and white
man came to his room shortly before
noon and wanted to enter, but he
drove them out. Soon they returned,
the white man armed with a brick,
and Cay with knife. In the strug-
gle which followed Shepler received
serious knife wounds in the left
breast, the right side and on the right
arm.
The two men got away, but Cay
was arrested by Detectives Dolan and
Lahy and charged with intent to kill.
Police Surgeon Meyers, who attended
Shepler, says he will probably re-
cover, but is very weak from loss of
blood,

moderate demand for corn and the re-
ceipts Of this cereal continued rather light
Oats were In good demand at Nc ad'

No Guess Work by Uncle Sam in
Measuring the Depth of Rair7~

As it goes down it works an cleo
trio contact that records .Ol OF an inch
of rain. When the opposite bucket
gets its .0l of an inch, it goes down
and so on.
"This is the best device for measur-
ing rain except in freezing weather"
said Colonel Welsh. in freezing
weather we use this old measuring
stick device. 1t consists of funnel.
eight inches in diameter at the top,
which emptes into a tube ESQ inches
in diameter. The area of this funnel
top is precisely ten times that OF the
tube. So, when there is 10 of an inch
of water in the tube we know that .Ol
of an inch of rain has fallen
+. There is still another device, used
for long time at the local station
which registers the rainfall automati-
cally by weighing the water.
The colonel led the ex-skeptic down
the narrow staircase from the roof OF
the federal building.
weather bureau" he said with dignity
as he bowed his visitor out.

A skeptic came into the United
States weather bureau and spoke to
Colonel Welsh, saying:
ITS guess work telling how much
rainfall there is when it's only about
one one-hundredth of an inch, isn't
it? Y can't measure one-one hum
dredth of an inch of rain"
Colonel Welsh fixed the doubling
Thomas with baleful look. Then he
led him up the narrow staircase to the
roof of the federal building and
showed him the ingenious but simple
mechanism that measures the rain
fall.
On each end OF little "see-saw"
about six inches elong is a tiny
bucket" about half as big as a spool
of thread. One of these buckets is
always up and the other down.
The mechanism is delicately adj
justed and when the up" bucket has
one-one hundredth of an inch of rain
in it, it goes down and at the same
time tips the water out.
