large cities like Moscow and Petro-

lation cannot obtain supplies. In
those cities the distress is reported
to be acute. Pet-oCrad has lost 50
percent Of its population within the
past four years.
Arthur J. Watts, the English
Friend, moved about in Russia with
out any restrictions by the soviet
government and it is announced
that the American Friends will

The End Of It.

And now I have very nearly come
to the end Of it all, and precious glad
/ shall be to find myself there, for I
began this old memory with a light
heart, thinking that it would give me
some work for the long summer eve
nings, but as l went on / wakened q
thousand sleeping sorrows and half
forgotten griefs, and now my soul
is all as raw as the hide Of an ILL
sheared sheep. If come safely out Of
1t, I will swear never to set pen to pa
per again, for 1t is so very easy at
first, like walking into a shelving
stream, and then, before you can look
round, you are off your feet and down
In hole, and can struggle out as best
you can.
We buried Jim and De Lissac with
four hundred and thirty-one others of
the French Guard and our own light
Infantry in single trench. All, if
you could sow brave man as you sow
a seed, there should be fine crop of
heroes coming up there some day

hind us forever, and with our brigade

Jason a Legendary Character.

Jason was the leader of the Argo-
nautic expedition in Greek legend. The
equivalent of his name in Greek is
the healer or atoner. Jason was tu-
tored and brought up under Chiron,
Greek myth renowned for his wisdom
and skill in medicine, hunting, music
and prophecy. Jason's greatest ex-
plot was his expedition with the Ar
gonauts in quest of the Golden Fleece.
Jason secured this by the aid Of Me-
dea, a sorceress who fell in love with
him. She protected him from the bulls
breathing fire and hoofed with brass
which he was obliged, in order to OBJ
tain the fleece. to yoke to the plow.
She also protected him from the
armed men who sprang up from the
dragons teeth which he was required
to SOW in the fields. Medea fled with
Jason and the fleece and married him.
Ten years later Jason abandoned her
after she had murdered Crensa, whom
Jason had determined to marry.

The Ark Of the Covenant.

The Ark of the Covenant was the
sacred chest which the Lord directed
Moses to make to contain the tables
Of the law which he had received on
Mount Sinai. It was four and one
half feet long, two and one-fourth feet
wide and two and one-fourth feet high.
It was covered within and without
with gold and was carried by slaves
inserted in rings on the corners. This
Ark of the Covenant was the most
sacred possession Of the Israelites. 1t
was placed in the holy Of holies in the
tabernacle and later in similar posi-
ton In Solomon's temple. The ark was
carried from one place to another n.c

Our Purpose in Life.

For self-preservation and self-pos-
session. for the renewal of our purpose
In life, for a fair estimate Of its vari-
Gus interests. for calmness and
strength of mind, we need to rise at
times above the ways of this world,
and to remember what we are. whom
we serve, whittier we are called. And
It is in this that the right use of Sun
day may help us far more than we
fancy. For It Is by quiet thought
in the realization Of Gods presence,
and by prayer and worship, that we
must regain and deepen this remem-
brance: it is by the Holy Eucharist
that God is ever ready to bear 1t into
our hearts, and make 1t tell on all
our ways.-Francis Paget

Metals That Call for Use.

OF the metals now known. more
than so in number, DR.. E. E. Slossons
notes that not one-half have come into
common use. The so-called rare ele-
ments are really abundant enough,
considering the earth's crust as a
whole, though they are so thinly scat
tered that they are usually over
looked and hard to extract. But when
ever one of them proves valuable it is
soon found available. A systematic
search generally reveals it somewhere
in sufficient quantity to be worked.
Who, then, it is asked, will be the first
to discover use for indium, germa-
mum, terbium, thulium, lanthanium,
neodymium, scandium, samaritan and
others as much unknown to us of to-
day as tungsten was to our fathers.

CARRIED "H0NEsTY" TOO FAR
Trusted Clerk Rather Overdid It, and
Lost the Confidence Of His
Employer.

Cash registers became an institution
as a means of compelling honesty
among employees handling money.
There was time when their installa-
ton was taken as an affront by every
clerk concerned, but a new generation
has accepted them as a matter OF
course. That they still have their use
in the original sense, however, was
demonstrated recently by one employer
"a grocer-who was telling his story
over the counter the other evening to
a belated customer.
Last summer" the grocer said. my
family was living down at the beach
and l used to leave early in order
to get down there for late dinner. l
had a clerk that trusted to lock up
and put the money in the safe. Natu-
rally the cash register would show
in the morning what he had rung up.
"For a few days I thought it was
working fine. He was good clerk
and I thought he was honest. Then
when / got to thinking about it l de-
cided he was tOo-hOnest. For ten
days that register and the cash agreed
to penny. Now that's better than l
could make it do myself. 1t amt nat
