GIRL WAS EXPELLED.
The choir girl was expelled by q
meeting of the consistory as soon
as the elders and deacons of the
church learned that she had fled
from Passaic on the day the DOM
inie resigned and disappeared. AS
far rs the ruling body OF the church
is concerned, 1t is evident that Miss
Trina and her parents are out of the
church for good.

There are those in the Passaic
church who are willing to take him
back as their dominic, 1t is said
and there Is report that a De-
tition is being circulated with Mr.
Densers reinstatement as the pur-
pose.
Presiding Elder Rose. after the
service yesterday. said this was all
nonsense and explained how the
pastor might" be reinstated. But
first TO the, story OF the service.
There were only q few vacant
seats in the little wooden church

when the ousted dominic slipped
quietly to place In the next to
last pew. He looked neither to the
right nor to the left and did not
seem TO see even the few who tried
to get his attention. To all ap-
pearances he was determined to suf-
fer his humiliation alone, spurnips
the possible comfort OF those who
might offer sympathy.
However, when Mrs. william Dom
kersloot. his daughter. moved over
beside him he appeared relieved.
In the pulpit sat Elder Marinus
Reyngoudt, a contractor. OF Passaic.
At the right of the pulpit. in the
Densel family pew, sat Mrs. Densel.
wife Of the former dominic. and two
of their sons, Benjamin, thirteen. and
William, seventeen. Behind them sat
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Densel, a son
and daughter-in-law.
Across the way. to the left OF the
pulpit, sat the only two members of
the former choir girls family-her
brother, William Hannenberg and
his wife.

PARIS, Dec. 20.-Naked legs are
always getting Raymond Duncan,
leader of Paris neo-Greek colony,
and members of his family in trou-
bic. The latest sorrow brought on
by bare legs is the abduction Of Ray
mond's ffteen-year- son, Mcnelkas,
by the family cook.
The ahductor however has assured
the police that the child will be rc-
turned, and today Duncan and mis-
followers in the ways OF the nncicnts,
men, women and children, are gath
cred together in their linen factory
awaiting anNiously the return Of the
prodigal son.
Menalkas, il is understood. with
the connivance of his elderly Gull
nary confederate, revolted against
his fathers classic austerity He
had tired of sandals and barred logs
and Greek dancing and gymnastics
and wanted TO live his own life
His long hair Is now gone and he
has appeared in public in Paris in
perfectly ordinary trousers. Duncan
and his friends are in ssckcloth to-
day to some purpose.
DECIDES TO SEE WORLD.
In the colony there is an ar
rangement by which the members
take turns at cooking the meals
The chef last Friday seems to have
talked to Menalkas OF the delights
OF the great outside world. so the
boy decided TO set out to see them.
Wild rumors at once were put into
circulation. At hrst it was reported
that friends OF the ex-k aiser had kid
napcd Menalkas because he had cut
blocks for some anti-us rman posters
during the war. Later II was thought
that tho return Of Constantine TO
Greece had something to do with the
boys disappearance. According to
Duncan's disciples, the Greeks have
serious reasons for hating Duncan.

edict that Zion women should not
wear dresses without collars, skirts

When some OF the young ladies OF
Zion, sad with visions OF what they

edict were needed asked the good
brother how come he gravely
shook his head and sighed. "Naugh-

Well. the young ladies held n

Voliva wouldn't have the brazen ef-
frontery to bawl them out in church.
They would continue wearing their
Eve-like costumes they would.

But when the young ladies waltzed

Blind Sadly In
Need of Books

Only thirtyfve per cent Of thcI5,-
600 blind of the nation have learned
to read, due largely to the excessive
cost Of books in raised type and he
bewilder!ng diversity of types in use,
an abstacle recently removed by the
adoption of a uniform, simple tr lc
type. The 200 blinded selvce men
returning to civil life were aided by
the American library association, id
Lieutenant Schoble, through he
printing of about fortybooks il he
uniform type, chiefly books on IRA les
and vocations suitable for the sight
less. The A. L. A. is aiding the bli d
in the uniform type on a non-con-
mercial basis, thereby bringing thc
price of the books within reach of in
dividuals and of libraries. Small
public Libraries will be able to serve
their-blind patrons by borrowing
books from the larger libra'ios, as
books for the blind may be sent free
through the mails.
Promotion of library service for ,hc
blind is one important feature of The

THE CHAUTAUQUA OF
YESTERDAY-AN TODAY

Ages ago the Romans had Chau-
t. uquas. OF course they were not
; called "Chautauquas", but the idea
and spirit were the same then as they
are today. In those ancient days,
problems of the empire, of science,
literature, art and history were dis
cusSed in what was known as the
| tcIum-the Roman Forum. This
meeting place was open to all. Thru
o t the land people came to hear this
or that learned man cXpound his the
olies, OF analyze and discuss some vi
tai problem. Anyone could present
a problem or question providino it
was of sufficient interest to the popu-
Ice. There were no parties, poll
tics, or factions in the Roman Forum.
1t was a meeting ground-a Public
Forum--unbiased, free, champion
and friend of all That was the Ro-
man "Chautauqua."
Today 1--WE have the 1920 Public
Fcrum-thc Community Chautauqua.
Instead of the people .iourneving
many miles the big tent-the big
tent journeys many miles to the
people. 1t brings with it the great
scientists, artists, orators and
teachers of the times. In addition it
brings the best there is in music and
observation-disclosures, orchestras.
concert companies, opera companies,
singers, readers, impersonators, ac-
tors, masters of magic, humorists,
and las but not least the ever pop
ular Junior Chautauqua.
Political cliques, scctarianism or
social factions are in no way con-
nctted with the Community Chau-
tauaua. This institution stands IN
swerving, open minded, champions of
everything that is good and clean and
worth while in entertainment and cd
ucation. 1t acts as helping hand
III the building up oftommunity spir-
il and cooperation. 1t is a teacher of
the Golden Rule and OF Americanism.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The federal reserve policy of de-
naton caused price cutting sales all
over the country and made great
rany merchants fearful Of buying
goods. They question, if they stock
" again, if they will not again be
forced by bank policy to liquidate.
The manufacturer sees price cut
tin;' in retail stores, with consequent
slowing up of orders. But he sees
no reduction in cost on labor and ma
torial, and he is unwilling to make
goods for stock. So all over the
country factories are cultailing their
cutput.
Many industries have sufficient Or
dcrs to keep busy until September
g. Octobc.. But unless something
i; done to restore confidence in the
future, they do not know VIII sre bus
mess is coming from after those
dates. Some prophets foresce
100000 meA walking the streets
looking for jobs by October /.
A little uncertainty may be a
htalthtul sentiment 1t will tend to
make producers and jobbers more
conservative about the prices they
ask. 1t will tend to quiet labor and
end the epidemic OF strikes. AS the
season goes on, it would seem likely
that all interests would be content
With less margins of profit, in order
10 assure regularity OF operation.
= hat can not help stimulating buynr
hv the public, assuring the industries

J., .sibly run smoothly with prices so
high and production not fully ade-
quate. There must be much uncer-
teinty and very likely some interrupt
tions, Blu. the inhexible credit sys-
tenn that has caused the most serious
financial trouble in past years, does
no. now exist. There seems to be Il
srt with OF sentiment among the
