STAND IN WAY OF BUSINESS
Historic London Churches May Have
to Give Way TO the Demands Of
Modern Progress

Nineteen historic city churches IN
the heart OF London. Is of them the
work OF Sir Christopher Wren, have
been marked for destruction by CON-
mission appointed by the bishop OF
London 10 consider the whole ques-
ton Of the city churches. In seven
cases 1t is proposed TO preserve, for
their architectural and historic value,
the towers of the churches. In the
other cases these old monuments.
dating back to the seventeenth century
and the great fire OF London, would
disappear
This is the recommendation of the
bishops commission, hut already
strong protests have arisen and the
Society for the Protection of Ancient
Buildings has announced that il win
take every possible step In making the
strongest protest
The value OF the sites of these
churches is placed at nearly $780,
100000, situated as they are In the
great business center of London, be-
tween st. Paufs and the Tower and
little TO the north of that line. In ad-
dition to this enormous return from
the church property the commission
expects to realize an income of $120,-
600 year from the benefices after
setting aside $4,000 a year for the
salaries of certain of the clergy con-
cerned. For the site Of a single
church, that of All Hallows, Lombard
street, Barclays bank has offered ST.
100000, and the value of the site of ST
Dunstan's-in-the-E has been esti-
mated at $1,250,O00.

Ancient eornerstone Layina.

The custom of laying the corner
stone of public building with cere-
monies was practiced by the ancients.
At the laying of the cornerstone when
the capitol of Rome was rebuilt a pro-
cession of yestal virgins, robed in
white, surrounded the stone and con-
secrated 1t with libations of living
water. A prayer to the gods followed,
and then the magistrates, priests. SEN
ators and knights laid hold of the
ropes and moved the mighty stone to
its proper position. In a hollow cut
in the stone were placed ingots of
gold, silver and other metals which
had not been melted I'm any furnace.
With the Jews the cornerstone was
considered an emblem of power, and
they also performed ceremonies at It's
laying. In medieval times the rite
was taken up by the order of Free
niasofis and has by them been brought
down to modern days, the Masonic
ceremony of laying cornerstone be-
ing symbolical

did not enjoy.

tice conducted during the past year,
made public at the, Navy Department,

tie practice scores were somewhat
lower than a year ago. the efficiency
of the major ships at long-range prac-

was greatly improved

10000 yards the battleship scores. as

merit of 1916 this year. as compared
with $50 year ago.
In day firing at long ranges for in

TWO SAINTS DAYS
DURING THIS WEEK


The present week in the church cali
endar is blest with two Saints day,
Tuesday. August "a. was ST Bartholo-
news Day. This day is the anniyers-
AIRY OF the fearful massacre Of Protest
ants at Paris in 1872, and st. Bar
tholomew is said to displace ST.
swithln, for
"An the tears ST. Swithin can cry
st. Bartlenly's mantle wipes dry"
ST. Bartholomew is supposed 10 be
the apostle called Nathaniel, his sur
name being TsImai--thus, Bar-Tol-
mai. The son of Tolmai He preached
the Gospel in Armenia and India. and
suffered martyrdom in. the former
country by being fayed alive
Tomorrow is ST. Augustine's Day
He was the Bishop OF Hippo, one OF
the great doctors of the Christian
church. His writings are read with
reverence at the present day alike by
members OF the Greek, Roman and
Protestant eommunions. He was an
African and. was converted from hea-
thenism by ST. Ambrose at Milan. On
his return he was chosen Bishop OF
Hippo. in Africa, and died at the age
of n in 4s0. The conduct of his mo-
Their, St. Monica. deserves the admira-
ton of all Christian mothers.

Out of Place.

Aunt Hannah came home from
church the other Sunday morning dis
tinctly out of sorts. When asked what
was wrong she answered that she
thought there was not the proper rev.
erence In that church. Pressed to give
further explanation she finally did so.
Il didn't like any of the choir" she
complained. "They were too tickle
looking to sing hymns and l thought
1t perfectly sacriiegious when that So
prano got up In those slippers with the
high. thin heels and sang, How Firm
a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord :"
The family she was visiting smiled
but later admitted to themselves that
it was indeed homogeneous although
not exactly sacrilegious.

Avn rHE pAIACE T0NIGnr

Here are some striking lines from
eff / Wore King" in which William
Farnum will appear tonight at the
Palace Theatre. "If / Were King" as
all stage followers know, is from the
pen of Justin Huntly Mccarthy and
was presented on the stage by r. II.
Sothern. Mr.. Farnum is enacting the
role of Francois Villon, the vagabond
poet, in a superb Fox film version
The scenario was written by z. Lloyd
Sheldon and closely follows the play.
j. Gordon Edwards directed this
gorgeous screen version. The verses
that follow have a vide appeal:
Daughters of pleasure, one and ALL,
OF form and feature delicate,
OF bodies slim, and bosoms small.
With feet and fingers white and
straight,
Your Dyes are bright, your grace is
great
To hold your lovers hearts in
thrNll;
Use your red lips before too late
Love ere love flies beyond recall.
For some the golden hair is grey,
And all the body's lovely line
In wrinkled meanness slipped astray;
The limbs are round and ripe and
fine
shrivelled and withered; quenched
the shine
That made your eyes as bright as
day:
SO ladies, hear these words of mine
Love ere love fiuttors far away.

PRINCIPLES AS
ANCHOR TO SHIP

1t is not what you can do ordinarily,
but what you can do in a crisis, that
counts. The crisis is the swift fire
that tries men, as gold is tried. reveal
ing the fine metal and the dross. You
never know what is in the soul until
you see it pass through a supreme
moment.
That unmasks the hero, uncovers
the god. He may have seemed a
tramp, a shiftless loafer, a ne'er-do-
well, but when the factory takes fire
and all are paralyzed with fear, it is
he that plunges into the burning
building and rescues the boy at the
cost of his own life.
She may have been most drab and
commonplace woman, ignorant and
low, but when her hour strikes she
moves towards it with the majesty of
a queen and cares for those stricken
with the pest in fine carlessness for
her own life
The fierce rays of responsibility all
focused into one white-hot moment
have a curious effect on souls. One
person will be melted to panic. An
other will be steeled to unusual
strength.
In the crisis You suddenly become
aware OF the vital importance of prin-
ciples.-Dr. Frank Crane in Septem-
Der Hearst's.

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR;
JOHN WALTER SMITH
THE POWER OF A DOLLAR

The dwindling purchasing
power Of the American dollar has
been emphatically demonstrated
BY the Investigations of the De-
partment of Labor For the
worker who is earning $l.75 to-
day for every dollar he earned
five years ago, the problem OF
living has in no wise been COM
plicated. But the majority of
wage earners and dependents on
fixed incomes have had to revise
sharply their household budgets
to meet the shrinkage of a dol
lars purchasing power. They are
purchasing food and other nee
essaries only at the cost of de-
priving themselves of accuston-
ed comforts. The so-called war
prosperity has brought only dis
advantages to them.
In the ordinary course OF
things a long time must pass be-
fore the dollar returns TO its for
mer purchasing worth. For the
next few years, in fact, only a
further decline can be looked for.
And while the general public is
disposed 10 bear ungrudgingly
all the necessary sacrifices and
discomforts imposed by the war,
it is not willing to remain the
ouiescent victim of mere prof.
teering. 1t is clear that the Fed
eral authorities should not con-
tent themselves with gathering
the statistics of the decline of the
dollars purchasing power, but
should seek a remedy in more
general control of foodstuff
prices.
That, after all. is Just about as
vitality important as any issue
that is presented in the pending
campaign. The League OF Ma
tons, the prohibition question.
woman's sutfrage-all have their
intensely interesting points and
furnish much food for thought,
as we'll as for discussion; but un-
til the average man and woman
can be brought face TO face with
&ctual living conditions and make
the purchasing power of dollar
much nearer normal than it is at
present, the present state of ma
tional unrest will be abroad in the
land.
The political party that can
closest solve this problem will
come closest to winning the heart
and ballot of the voters.

Gradually the world is becoming
used to the visionary folk. Visions
are dreams of what may be made to
come true. Don't be afraid of being a
dreamer if you have the force and
energy to make your dreams come
true
Don't be afraid of having too much
imagination. Harness it to work.
Then work as long and as hard as
your strength will permit. There is
more danger of men working too lit
tie than too much
The greatest men / have known
