london's Sea Gull Visitors.

London's winter visitors. the sea
gulis. have arrived particularly early
this year. Never since the hard win-
ter Of 1895 first impelled them high
up the river. and into hitherto I'M
known regions Of parks and private
gardens, have the birds omitted to
make their yearly call to the Serpen-
tine and KensingtOn gardens round
pond. On the river. Of course, the
gulls, single or In flights, have been
regular habltues for many years, per-
haps centuries. Feeding the gulis
from the bridges Is favorite Occu-
patton for many a LOndoner, or rath-
er 1t used to be, for now the feeding
of birds is forbidden, on the ground
Of waste, by the defense Of the realm
regulations. The gulls will have to
shift for themselves this winter, and
LondOners' reputation for hospitality
will suffer accordingly in the bird

FOOD SUPPLIES IN COMMON
No Eskimo Allowed to Go Hungry
While His More Fortunate Broth
ers Have Plenty.

The arctic explorer, Ds.Donald B.
Macmillan. who returned recently
after four years spent In the arctic
regions, has many interesting things
to say about the domestic and social
customs OF the Eskimo. -
All property is owned In common.
he tells us. When you enter a vii.
lage you are not invited to come In.
It is your right to enter and. IL you
are hungry. to help yourself to some
thing to eat. If you happen to visit
a house where a poor hunter lives. he
says, "Nurket-turange Nothing to
eaD." He does not go hungry, how
ever, because his neighbOrs have some
and he lives on his neighbors. Every
thing Is divided up that way. II all
the villagers are good hunters, their
supplies last a long time. but if some
are poor hunters, the clever fellow
must share with them. .
An Eskimo does not eat three meals
day and sleep at regular intervals.
He cots when he Is hungry, and sleeps
when he is sleepy, and he puts it off
as lone as he can, so that he will en-
JOY 1t all the more. He will go around
for six hours talking about how hungry
he is. and then he will set to work
and eat all he can. 1t is the same
way with sleeping. He will 60 with
ont sleep for 48 hours, and when he
canno. keep his eyes open any longer
he turns in for 24-hour snooze.-

COMEDIANS or OLD GREECE
Statues Found In fembs Show That
Funmakers Were Much Like
Those AppIaudsd Today.

The finding of some statues in an
ancient Greek tomb is an opportunity
for comparing the comedians Of old
times with those Of today. The stat
ues are believed to date back to the
fourth century b. O. They are quite
small--in fact. few of them measure
more than six inches In height--but
owing to the careful modelling they
are still quite lifellke in spite OF
their extreme age. These little fig
ures represent the funny men Of that
time, and II is curious to note the re-
semblance to the oddities of Charlie
Chaplin. '.at a.'i- bna a'i"sp1oh

A. COMMUNITY PROGRAMME

"Out of this work for the soldiers has sprung a community programme which is rapidly projecting our church activi- ties into the civic. social, educational and religious life of Baltimore.
 T speak of my own church" he mod estly explained, "only as illustrative of what church can do and can mean to community
 This conception of the ministry of the church was emphasized yesterday when Dr.. Laird spoke on Social Unrest and its Implication for the Church" It will be further considered this morning in his address at the First Presbyterian church on 'Christianizing the Community Hos pitals and Homes" also this afternoon, when he will speak on "Education-D Religion, @ American"
 Probably no more inspiring message could be left the organization, whether it be religious eor civic, than that deliv- cred by Dr. Laird yesterday to the Ro- tary club of Birmingham on What. It Means To Be Alive Today"
 In this address the speaker pointed to the opportunities of life today and to the responsibility of utilizing these for the largest results. The first opportu- nity, as suggested by Dr. Laird is the challenge of this age to the heroism self sacrifice and unselfishness of men.
 The second opportunity and responsi- bility is the spirits of cooperation that must characterize all active service.
 The need of the hour" he insisted 'is for political cooperation
 'It is deplorable,' he commented, that certain gentlemen in the Senate do not realize that lack of cooperation will en- danger America position in everything that has been gained
 Religious cooperation is another cry- ing need he urged.
 'The time has come when we must re. &lize that together we stand or divided we go down There is no alternative
 Tt is good to be alive today" contin- ued Dr. Laird in offering a third oppor- tunity, Ion account of the new meaning of the quality of leadership that is de- manded. First, leader must be willing to assume responsibility; second, he must have adequate preparation for the task in hand; and third, lie must realize the necessity for consecrated determination not to be moved from his task until his objection is gained Fourth, leadership requires a vision not microscopic, but telescopic."
 The closing emphasis of Dr. Laird s ad- dress was placed upon the opportunity offered life today in the new civiliza- ton that is being built for political de mocracy, social justice and sane Chris tianity.
 And these are the opportunities" pr. Laird reminded, at the training confer ence afterward, 'that are offered the churches today. These are some of the reasons for such an organization as the Interchurch World Movement

Conference Here Bring Initial Message of Worldwide Movement to Attention of Leaders of Evangelical Churches-Constructive Cooperation, But

D, cARoLYN D. ELLIOTT

He was introduced to Birmingham yesterday at the Interchurch World Conference for Alabama, and at the Rotary club-one of the great forward looking men of the hour Rev. pr. John Wesley Llrd.
 A native of Scotland, pr. Laird is at present pastor of Mount vernon Place church, Baltimore; and is leader of one of the national teams of the Interchurch World Movement
 From Glasgow, Scotland, as a little lad of five he came with his parents to his adopted country. and to his home in Scranton, Pa. Here he attended the public schools, afterward graduating at Syracuse University, N. r. and at Yale School of Religious Theologies. Six years after his graduation, he had the honor of being the youngest man upon whom the latter school has ever con- ferred the degree of Doctor of Di- vfnity
 AS pastor of churches like those of First Methodist, New Haven, Conn, and of Grace church, New York City, that minister to the civic, social and re- ngious life of the community, Dr. Laird has had the valuable experience that peculiarly fits him for the position he
  Movement which Seeks to promote such practical Christianity throughout North America and the foreign world
 1.-The training conference which win be held today and tomorrow at the First Presbyterian church, is for the purpose of bringing the initial message of the world wide movement to attention of leaders of the Evangelical churches of this state" explained pr. Laird. Ten groups are carrying these mes sages over the United States, the terri southern states.
 CONSTRUCTIVE COOPERATION
 The state conference which just closed in Nashville, Tenn" he rejoiced, was cumulative in enthusiasm. There Nas a gratifying growth of open mind edness, when people understood that the movement emphasized constructive cooperation and not organic union.
 "The purposes of the movement are tyo-fold," continued pr. Laird. ''FirA to find out the real facts about the world need Second, to face these facts intel1igently.
 H"This is really the first time the world has ever been' thoroughly sur veyed." he reminded, '"and from the findings of such survey will be evolved a programme of cooperative effort to meet the world need"
 sPerhaps no happier example of the aission of church to the community can be found in the United States than that of Mount Vernon Place church, of which Dr Laird is pastor

The strength of October was occasioned principally by reason of de- mand from foreign sources The COW ering of near positions was undoubted- ly due to expectation of settlement today of the coal strike.
