Old Custom Kept Up.

Ringing for Gofer" is a unique Gus
tom confined to Newark parish church,
England. 1t has lasted 300 years. 1t
Gofer lost himself in the woods which
then surrounded Newark, and, as he
carried much money and the forest
was infested with thieves, he was in
danger of his life. Suddenly he heard
the bells of Newark. and was guided
home by their music. To commemo-
rate his escape, he left goodly sum to
the church on condition that the bell
ringers ring for 'Gofer'' every year on
Sunday nights In October and Novem-

Advice About Brick Houses.

From constructive standpoint the
nonfireproof brick house is very sim
liar to the frame except that the out
side walls are of masonry and that the
floor framing in each story should be
carried on steel beams and columns so
that the inside supports may be as free
from shrinkage as the walls. In the
fireproof house floors and roof are of
tile or concrete and steel. 1t Is never
desirable TO plaster directly on the in
side of brick wall. Lath and plas-
ter should always be placed on fur
ring strips so as to give an air space
between plaster and brick All brick
work next the ground. in chimneys
above. roofs, parapet walls. dormers,
etc. should be laid in cement mortar.

Chemical Generator for Hot Water.

1t has been shown that certain
combination of salts brings about the
generation of heat BY applying this
chemical phenomenon a cheap and ef-
ficient warming bottle may be formed,
writes S. Leonard Basin in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
First of all, mix together sodium
acetate and sodium hyposulphate in
water. using one part of the. former to
nine parts Of the latter salt. There
should be a sufficient quantity of these
materials to fill the earthenware bottle
three parts full. The vessel should now
be loosely stoppered and placed either
in hot water or in an oven until the
salts have completely dissolved.
For many hours after this the bottle
will radiate considerable heat. To re-
new the thanksgiving properties 1t is
only necessary to give the bottle a
good shaking.

SECOND ELDER"

1t remained for Mr.. George Pattulo to. give us in the Sat
urday Evening Post the detailed story Of the greatest single
individual exploit of the war.
Corporal Alvin c. York, Pail Mall, Fentress county, Tenn,
COMPANY G., 328th infantry, second elder in the Church of
Christ and Christian Union, a sect of conscientious directors,
opposed to fighting in any form, on Hill 223, in the Argonne
sector, near Chatel-Chenery, Oct. 8, killed 20 Germans, cap
tured l32 prisoners, including a major and three leutenants,
put IS machine guns out of business and broke up an entire
cans.
pare statement may seem, without the detailed account of how
1t transpired, Mr.. Pattullo has nevertheless verified the record
with statements from the officers and men, and has verified the
description by a careful inspection of the location.
Corporal York was urged by the members of his sect to
claim exemption on the ground OF conscientious objection, He
declined to do SO, and it required long and prayerful considera-
ton for his captain to convince him, against the traditions of
his church, that it was his duty to 60 into the combat service.
But when he finally made up his mind that he owed an obiga-
tion to his country far more binding than the self-imposed
scruples of his creed, he went into the fray with all his heart,
and made just such a soldier as might have been expected of a
man OF strong conviction.
This young man has given an added glory to the proud
traditions of his native state. He has done more for his country
in the one brief but celebrated exploit than most men, no mat
ter how fortunately situated, accomplish in a lifetime,
Some of the schools in the state have offered him a schol-
arship, with the expectation that he will desire to finish his
education and become an elder in the church.
Perhaps he would like to do so. Scholarships are the least
part of an education. There are a lot OF other expenses to be
cared for, and as we understand it there are some new Yorks,
small brothers and sisters, dependent upon him Tor support,
We wonder if there are not those who would be as glad Of
an opportunity to lend him a helping hand in getting an even
start on his career as they would have been to donate to a fund
for a monument to his memory if he had failed to come through.
