VERMONT CHURCHES MEETING.
Considerable Advance in the Movement
Was Reported at Burlington.

At the meeting of the conference OF
denominational superintendent and sec
retaries held in Burlington Tuesday fur
Their progress was reported in the uniting
Of churches in the smaller communities
in. Vermont Since the last meeting in
October, unions or declarations have been
effected in West Rutland, Putney, Stowe,
Westford and Milton. The total since
May /, 1917, now reaches q, and plans
are now pending in three other places.
Since most of the agreements were en-
tered into for one year as trial, it was
voted to recommend to churches that at
the end of the trial year where the union
had proved satisfactory, the time limit
be struck out and the agreement cOntin-
ued indefinitely.
The conference put itself on record as
favoring the use of the word united
rather than federated" in describing the
working church organization that had
been brought about where two or more
churches came together in accordance
with the principle of an equitable ex-
change of fields between denominations.
The conference expressed its belief that
in the case of uniting churches in a com
munity on the exchange Of fields prin-
ciple all church property, including in
vested funds, should. be used for the fur
therance of the united enterprise to the
end that such property or funds shall
provide the united church with an ade-
quate plant and support for an adequate
program of community service.
1t was voted that in arranging plans
for the fall, Sunday, Oct. >, to Friday,
Oct. II, be reserved for a series of church
leaders councils at which a far-reaching
interdenominational program could be
discussed and forwarded, The following
places were suggested as convenient CEN
ters for these councils Burlington, Rut-
land Poultney, Bennington, Brattleboro,
Montpelier, st. Johnsbury, Newport, st.
Adams, White River Junction.
An interesting report was received Of
progress in practical cooperative work
by the churches in st. Adams and action
was taken looking toward the furthering
Of similar cooperation in other cities
and towns of the state
Those present were: Rev William
Shaw, Phi D. (Methodist), st. Adams,
chairman; Rev. c. c. Merrill (Congrega.
tional), Burlington, secretary; Rev G. X.

stituted the eatire membership of the
conference, with the exception of Rev.

PACIFIC COAST HOPEFUL.
Expects to See a Big Gain in the Ship
building Business.

San Francisco, Feb. 8.--An extensive
development of shipbuilding and wide
expansion Of maritime industry in all
of its branches is looked for by ship.
ing interests of the Pacific coast with
the return to the world Of normal peace
conditions. This expectation is based
in a great measure on the fact that the
Pacific coast suffered comparatively lit
tie by the demands of war while at the
same time its immense natural resources
were extensively developed by the gov
eminent for increased tonnage. The coast
is now equipped with more than a score
Of modern shipbuilding plants, some Of
them among the largest in the country.
These yards were equipped with every
facility for turning out tonnage at the
highest speed, and now that the war Is
over, these facilities will not be al
lowed TO go to waste.
In San Francisco, the harbor board re-
Gently announced plans for extensive re.
construction Of piers and warehouses.
Plans for an absorption of usual port
charges by division of overhead expense
brings to the front the free port move
ment, a subject which now looms large
in relation to the commerte of all ports.
According to Robert Dollar, a shipping
authority, Pacific shipping by America
will come into keen competition with ia
pan, japanese ship owners" he said,
"have made enormous profits during the
war, therefore, that competition will be
backed by plenty of money, supported
by subsidies for shipbuilding and for
carrying Of mails, advantages which
Americans will be forced to combat"
With the recently announced release
by the United States shipping board Of
all requistioned ships. and the turning
over to private interests Of government
owned vessels, many Of the larger lines
engaged in Pacific coast and Panama ca
nal trade are planning early resumption
of interrupted service

The American consul general at Stock
holm has forwarded to the state depart
ment brief statement showing in
creases in the cost of living in Sweden
from 1914 to the end of July, 1918. The
state department has made the informa.
ton available to the bureau of labor
statistics, of the department of labor
and It is printed in full in the December
number Of the Monthly Labor Review.
From this statement it appears that
the table-d'hote meals at hotels and res
taurants have. increased two crowns
(53.6 cents during the last month, an
advance of 20 to 25 per cent, and that
at tirstclass restaurants a course din
ner, consisting of soup, fish, meat, and
dessert, now costs from Z to 10 crowns
l$l8S to $268), while at second-class
restaurant, or pepsionat, dinner can be
obtained for about crowns (Sl.34).
The consul general submits table
which shows the expenditures for food
light, and fuel for a normal family of
husband, wife and two children with an
estimate Of disbursements for 1914 OF
1000 crowns 1885,.
1t would seem that, taking 100 as
standard for July, 1914, the cost OF
living had advanced to 294.3 in Stock
holm, 1858 in Gottenburg, and 1929 in
Malmo by the end of July, 1918. These
are increases over the cost of living in
July, 1914, of l94.3 for Stockholm, 1856
for Gottenburg, and 1929 for Malmo.

HEALTH SUNDAY FEB. %
URGED ON CHURCHES
And That Services and Meetings on That
Day Be Devoted to Discussion of
Means of Improving Morals.

Washington, d. G., Feb. 6.-As a step
in a nationwide campaign against the
social evil, ministers and church leaders
are urged in a pamphlet issued by the
United States public health service to
observe Feb, % as health Sunday, with
special sermons and meetings that day
devoted to discussion of means of i'm
proving morals.
Separate meetings for men and WON
en- are suggested to consider elimina-
ton of vice districts, education of chill
dren, the organization of a permanent
community committee to improve civic
conditions and to provide wholesome rec
reation, especially for returning soldiers.
your whole community will be at the
station when the boys come marching
home Are you making sure that the
profteers of vice are not planning to
take advantage Of the days of festivity
to dishonor them before they get set
tied again in the normal ways of life
Are YOU sure that rehabilitation will
not mean Generalization
Cities and towns throughout the coun-
try now face a most important crisis
Under control of the military author
tiles four million soldiers and sailors
received greater protection against dis
ease than they received before the war
in civil life. The federal government
must of necessity in the next few
months give up war time control. II is
the social responsibility of cities and
towns to make their communities fit
places to receive the returning soldiers.
The public health service has pre-
pared a program of procedure for com
munity organizations, with particular
reference to the churches participation.

Wearing of Uniform by Discharged Sol
diers.

Present law authorizes a discharged
officer or soldier to wear his uniform
from the place of discharge to his home,
within three months of the date of his
discharge from the service. Thereafter
the officer may wear his uniform only
upon occasion of ceremony.
The enlisted man must return his uni
form within four months of date Of
discharge; but can wear it only as
stated above.
An act is now before Congress, which
if passed, will authorize enlisted men
to keep the uniform which they are per
mitted to wear home, and to wear that
particular uniform, only, provided some
distinctive mark of insignia, to be is
sued by the war department, shall be
worn.
1t will thus be clearly seen that mel.
Their under existing or proposed law will
a discharged soldier be permitted TO
wear uniforms made by civilian or 9TH
err tailors. They may legally wear only
the particular uniform which they have
been permitted to retain.
Commanding officers of camps, posts
and stations will give the widest pub
Lefty to this information both among
the soldiers of their commands and in
the local press No person will be per.
mitted to solicit orders for, or deliver
uniforms to soldiers about to be dis

EXTRA LONG WEAR
FROM SHOES

T. D. Collins Of Ookala, Hawaii,
makes a remarkable statement which
demonstrates the money-raving dura-
bility,o of Neolin Soles.
He writes, After wearing a pair Of
Ne6lin-soled shoes off and on for
thirty-three months, / wore them on
a trip to the volcano of Kilauea and
walked around the crater over hot lava
six times and still the soles showed
only slight signs of wear. "
This experience is not accidental.
1t results from the scientific process
by which Ne6lin Soles are made to be
exactly what soles should be--con-
Portable, waterproof and exceedingly
economical because of the long wear
they give.
Get them on new shoes for all men,
bers of the family and have them put
on worn shoes. They are made by

pany, Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to out
wear any other heels.
