REBUKED FROM THE PULPIT
Pastoral Admonition, Gently Conveyed,
Should Have Been Enough for
Even Choir Boys.

The pastor of q small parish In a
New Jersey town was known far and
wide about the countryside for his
quaint ways and eccentric habits. He
had small choir which he augmented
on special occasions with boys from
the neighborhood. These recruits were
sometimes unruly and he did not al
ways find it easy to hold them within
the proper bounds.
In the course of Christmas morn
ing sermon several choir boys began to
eat peanuts surreptitiously and the
cracking of the shells was plainly
audible to the congregation. At first
the rector paid no attention TO them,
but finally they got on his nerves.
Pausing after an impassionate out
burst of oratory. he fixed his gaze
sternly upon them and thus addressed
them in reproving tones:
"Boys-you choir boys. mean. If
you must eat peanuts in church, please,
oh, please, do not crunch the Shells"
then turning again to the congregation.
he resumed his discourse.

III LEAST 1T "eoT RESULTS"
Boston "Tea Party" However In
spired, Blazcd New Pathway for
the WORLDS Progress.

Boston's celebrated "tea party"
which was held December 16, 1913,
has within recent years been the sub
ject of attack by iconoclasts. Not con-
tent with branding as a myth the story
Of George Washington and the cherry
Revere, the famous equestrian hero,
the idol-smashers have sought to prove
that the tea party was, In fact, beer
party. 1t was not the spirit of patriot
ism, but the spirits imbibed in John
Duggan's tavern which animated the
immortal GO, disguised as Indians, ac-
eording TO the assertion made by a
member of the United States congress
few years ago. This assertion nat
urally aroused much Indignation. and
great mass of evidence in rebuttal
has been offered
According to the defenders of the
tea party. John Duggan, the saloon-
keeper who is said to have supplied
the beer which fired the patriotism
of the-<drinkcrs thereof, was only
seven years old at the time of the
Boston occurrence. ana, moreover, was
still in ireland, Mr.. Duggan, who
later sold liquor refreshments to the
thirsty OF Boston town, was born in
1860. and did not come TO America
until many years after the tea Incl
dent. Admitting these facts, the al
legations of The iconoclasts, disproved
IN one important particular, fall flat,
unless it can be shown that another
John Duggan conducted the thirst
parlor of Boston. Whether inspired
by Indignation or beer, however, the
result of the "tea party" was the
same.-Detroit News.

Maine Liquor Laws.

"Maine law" was the name given, in
the state of Maine to an act Ito pro-
hibit drinking houses and tipping
shops" 1t was passed in May, 1851 !;
received the signature of the governor
on June and was first enforced at
Bangor on July 4 of the same year.
This law was re-enacted, in all its
parts, in 1858. and was made more
stringent in 1867 and again in 1870. 1t
was so amended in 1872 as to bring
cider and wine from grapes grown In
the state within the prohibition. In
1884 an amendment was added to the
constitution prohibiting forever the
sale of intoxicating liquors within the
limits of the state. Since 1851 the ex-
preston "Maine law" has been used
colloquially TO denote any state enact
ment prohibiting the sale Of intoxicat-
ing drinks.-Boston Globe.

wha. Becomes of Old cars7

II has generally been assumed that
when an automobile begins to show Its
age, Ii gravitates to the rural districts,
but the observing traveller knows that
the average farmer likes new car as
well as the city man 1t Is evident that
the fate Of used cars, and the reason
for the comparatively strong price
maintained on them, must be sought in
other directions.
Many secondhand cars are bought
by small tradesmen, who convert them
TO commercial uses; but by far the
larger number return to their makers,
or to the various branches, where they
are dissected for the many parts that,
with a little cleaning, can be used
again, thus freeing the shops from the
necessity of turning out quantities of
parts for replacement stock.

SECURE WORK FOR
 EX-SERV|CE BOYS
Federal Vocational Board Places Some 300 in
 Training Here

Three hundred ex-service men are re- ceiving vocational training in the Bir- mingham district
 The majority are obtaining their ex- perience on the job. The others are ob- taining what is known as institutional training. They are taking stenography, bookkeeping and commercial courses in the business colleges
 These men have been placed through .te irstrumentality of the Birmingham branch of the federal vocational board with headquarters on the seventh floor of the Chamber of Commerce building.
 The vocational students are placed all over Birmingham. Thirteen of them are taking watch and jewelry repairing in the jewelry establishments of Birmng ham, Bessemer and Ensley.
 The largest number, forty three, is em- ployed in the Jefferson School for Den tai Mechanics at 90071a Third avenue. This institution was founded by the vo- by 1t.
 Seven men are at work in the repair and adjustment departments of the type writer agencies.
 Several men are at work with the Alabama Power Company and many are employed at the automobile shops in various departments. Altogether. as a list telow shows. these men are lon the

job in forty different lines of employ ment or inst, Uction.
 The men receive, while under vocation al training. the following salaries: Sin gle men, S115 per month; married men with wife and one child, S125; maximum allowance, S15O.
 The governments vocational training is divided into three successive parts. The first is rehabilitation, the second is securing the job for the trained man and the third is a supervision of the trained man in his job to ascertain If he is sufficiently trained, or if he is fit for the vocation which he chose. In the event that he requires additional train ing along the same line, or discovers that he chose the wrong vocation, he is accorded the additional training or given a chance at another calling.
 More than score of Birmingham business establishments from large to small have the vocational men in their employ and are cooperating in their training.
 As rule the men are very much in earnest and are making good.
 O. l.. Bum, general manager of the Birmingham traffic bureau, which has been made an official traffic framing school, says four of these vocational students are studying traffic work and all are doing well. One of them, in fact
  any traffic bureau.
 To secure the vocational training the former service man must have a Voea- tional handicap as the result of his army service plus an honorable discharge. This vocational handicap must either have originated during his army service or been increased or accelerated by that service.
 The local branch has not turned out many graduates as yet for the very sim pie reason that it has not been in exist ence a sufficient length of time. It was established last August and it was some time before any number of men became familiar with it's establishment and sought it's aid in rehabilitation.
 The training in the business colleges Is what is known as institutional. The other, that of training the man on the job, is known as placement training
 In addition to the institutional and vo- cational training, night schools in rudi- mentary common school studies are giv en in the Y. M. c. A. in the evenings and part time instruction in mechanics is given in the afternoons in the tenn porary Central High School on South Twentieth street.
