Every intelligent business man

dence today at the Garrick Theatre.
The Bethlehem bishop talked on "tak-

deDtally paid high tribute to Abra-
ham Lincoln as man and Christian.
1T should be understood that reli-
gion and business do mix" said the
bishop. Righteousness and Christian
ity are renl business principles. God
did not scrap the old Testament when
he instituted Christianity; he merely
enioincd mon under the new dispcnsa-
tion to fulfill the old.
''Thc real Christian takes his Chris
tianitv to the office with him six days
n week. There are some of the other
kind-.who are good religious men on
Sunday. but you have TO watch them
every minute on week days"
Tribute to Lincoln Memory
In paying tribute TO Lincoln. the
bishop told of the meeting Of the bishops
of the Episcopal faith in England,
which he attended, when the conference
was adjourned so that all could at
tend the unvciling OF the statue of
Lloyd George the bishop said,
spoke of Lincoln as n figure so great
that he belonged to the world rather
than America, and characterized him as
greater perhaps even than Washington
because he was closer TO the people.
''Lincoln belonged to no church, and
hc could not be blamed for this. because
the Christianity which he had known in
Illinois condemned all the innocent
pleasures Of life. lie said he was
looking for n church where tho real
spirit of Christianity would prevail
This is the sort of Christianity we pos

WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY
Intimate of Great Editor Declares
Swearing Was More Than a Bad

Joseph Pulitzer, the famous blind

not always a purist In language. At

Evening World, in his autobiography.

With him profanity was more of an
art than a vice. Once when had read
something to him that made him angry
with the writer's stupidity he swore so
passonately and so loud and grew so
choleric and red in the face that
feared something inside Of him might
snap.
Suddenly he checked himself and
pricked up his ears. There were angry
voices In an adjoining room. One OF
his young sons was having a run-in
with his tutor and was forcibly telling
what he thought of him. A peculiar
expression, a mixture of annoyance

FIND MAKES SCIENTISTS GLAD
Discoveries Recently Made on Scottish
Island Are Declared to Settle
an Old Dispute.

Discoveries Of = great interest to
archaeologlsts have been made on the
Island of Risga, in Loeb Sunart, Ar
gyleshire, Scotland, where a band Of
scientists has been searching In huge
shell mounds.
The director Of the party Is of the
opinion that the discoveries made in
this rocky and uninhablted island have
gone far to settle the dispute among
archaeologists as to whether a break
intervened in the human occupation
of the British isles between Palace
lithic and Neollthlc periods. He says:
"Vestiges Of human activity ex-
tremely like the 'Azllian,' as the inter
mediate period is called in France,
have now been recognized In Scotland
in the island Of Oransay, adjoining
Colonsay, and the name Of Oransay
has been given to this period in Scot
land"
The Risga excavations disclosed re-
mains Of the Oransay mans dwelling
places, with his food, refuse and rude
tools, made of flint, jasper, quartz and
quartzite, horn and bone, and many
large implements made from the ant
lers of the red deer.

Windows of Life.

Every call and challenge of life has
its appropriate window. Some are of
the stalned-glass variety, heavy lead
ed, but permitting no vision. The win
dow itself is the thing beautiful and
the beholder is not expected to see be-
yond it. Even the sunlight is changed
as 1t passes through the glass. Such
windows are usually stationary and
are the end in themselves. The clouds
and sunshine influence what is within
but nothing without can enter. Other
windows are of the prism variety.
They give rainbow effects but reveal
nothing as 1t really is. Such windows
bewitch and enslave, but never reveal
the outer life or permit the inner self
to flow out into the great throbbing,
painting world. These windows adorn
and beautify, but we need the crystal
glass to help us get the far vision and
grow upon the lessons of life.-Grit.

Combustible's Manv Uses.

If the farmer can't make the old
horse go on straw and corncobs per-
haps he can run his car, his tractor
and his stationary engine with gas
made from them. That's the problem
the department of agriculture is strug-
Cling with, says the Nations Business.
Already its eXperimenters have run an
automobile with the new combustible
and used IL for lighting and cooking.
If the results Of these tests warrant
further investigation the experiments
will be extended 10 the problem Of
plant equipment for producing the gas
on a scale sufficient to allow the farm
er to supply light and heat for his
house, power for stationary engines,
and possibly for his tractor from a
small individual outfit. If a suitable
unit can be constructed II seems likely
that the straw gas may have certain
economic value In the sections of the
country where the raw material from
which the gas Is made is now con-
sidered as waste and burned or left
to rot.

HAS SEIZED GERMAN TRADE
Japan Said to Be Furnishing Practl-
cally All of the Buttons Now
Used in China.

The style has changed In Manchuris
that, just after the establishment Of
the republic, set many Chinese wear
ing the garments of the West, and
needing naturally western buttons.
Such buttons, says Consul General Al
bert w. Pontius, writing home from
Mukden to his government, were i'm
ported about equally from japanese
end European manufacturers, but now
the Chinese have pretty well gone back
to their own style of dress, and the
one European garment that still re-
mains popular is the heavy ulster. One
no longer needs buttons, except for
ones ulster, and these are now chiefly
imported from Japan, for the Chinese
costume does very well with frogs"
IDENTIFY needed somewhere, for in 1919
China imported about 100000 worth
of them, bone buttons, composition but
tons, and mother -of-pearl buttons, and
about So per cent of these buttons
were made In Japan" The war has
given Japan almost q monopoly; one
might say that Japan buttons China.
And so 1t is, says Consul General Pom
thus, with needles to sew the buttons
on. Before the war China was import
ing approximately 100000 worth of
needles a year, chiefly from Germany
and Austria; but now the japanese
needle manufacturers control the Chi
nese market, and that is sad for the
Chinese needlewoman or needleman,
because the Japanese needles 40 not
keep their sharp points anything like as
long as the European needles.-Chrls-
