MADE PROVISION FOR POOR
Quaint Old Charitable Requests Made
Centuries Ago, Still in Force
in England.

AS one journeys along the highways
and through the byways of England,
lettering here In a church porch, or
there by a castle wall, one meets many
instances where the charity Of pious
donor has persisted during the, cen
turtles. North and south, east and
west, the distribution Of these dOles
goes on, kind of perpetual motion
OF human kindness. Many Of them
refer, Of course, to bread, the staff Of
life. In the parish of Little Cor Lower
Peover, in Cheshire, actual want Is
practically unknown, for on every Sun
day in the year ten loaves Of bread are
put In the quaint old church, on two
rows of oak shelves attached to the
pillars. Oh the shelf may be read
the inscription, blessing and bread
for the poor for ever, r. c., 1722"-
nearly 200 years agone. "R. c." was
the Rev. Richard Comberbach, who
left f55 Us. Cd. in 1922 to provide the
loaves.
The largest distribution of bread
that we know of is the Tichborne
Dole, near Alresford, in Hampshire.
In the time Of Henry II Sir Roger de
Tichborne treated the poor as the
husband Of Lady Godiva did at Gov
entry. His wife, Lady Mabella, i'm
plored her husband for enough land
to provide dole Of bread for the OPP
pressed. Sir Roger gave % rich and
goodly acres to the purpose Years
ago the proceeds yielded 1000 small
loaves, which were distributed on
Lady Bay, but like many other char
tiles it was abused; the loaves were
discontinued, and in their place a sum
OF money, OF sometimes -four was
given to carefully chosen families.
Not far away from AIresford, in the
same county, stands Winchester, the
ancient capital of England. Near the
city is "The Almshouse of Noble Pow
crty" which has existed since the days
Of King Stephen. 1t is admirably de-
scribed in the opening chapters of
Trollope's "The Warden" The daily
dinner to 200 poor men has ceased,
but the stranger today has only to
knock at the porter's hatch to receive
refreshment as of old. 1t is known as
the "Wayfarer's e."-Christian
Science Monitor.

Change in Tea-Room China.

: A regular patron of one of the mod.
ern tea rooms was puzzled by the
fact that all of the china was changed
during the warm summer months. In
the winter it consisted of cheerful red
and brown dishes, while in the sum-
mer most of them were white with
green borders or leaf designs.
TITS the newest thing in psyche
logical SERVICE" said the waitress,
who was also an intellectual during
her off hours. "In the summer brown
and red dishes would aggravate the
heat. So we have these with green
leaves instead. 1T helps to make a
salad attractively cooling. New

we can't help that.
"The children wouldn't like us If
we knew geography and history and
arithmetic.
They're having their vacations now
and they are perfectly willing to for
get about geography and history and
arithmetic for the time being.
They'd rather have us give them
rides than do anything else. That is
what they like to have us do"
"Of course" said Sophia, "and we
shouldn't make any effort when it isn't

Books and Friends.

One cannot celebrate books suffi-
GENTLY. After saying his best, still
something better remains to be spoken
in their praise. AS with friends, one
finds new beauties at every interview,
and would stay long in the presence
Of those choice companions. AS with
friends, he may dispense with a wide
acquaintance. Few and choice. The
richest minds need not large libraries.
That is good book which is opened
with expectation and closed with

said Sophia Camel, "that we look our

"We can't, indeed" said Sally Camel.
"And though they may think it pity

MAKE PROVISIONS FOR
ALL EMERGENCIES
Local Water Mains Connected With
Those of Atlantic City.-Pressure
Test Complimentary to Pleas
antvilIe Company.

Last Tuesday the mains of the At
lantic County Water Company, OF
Pleasantville, were tapped to the 20
inch mains of the Atlantic City Water
Company, for emergency use. An s.
inch main was used in making the
connection. A large valve in the con
nection makes it possible to turn the
Atlantic City water into the PLEASANT
vile mains. There is a meter which
registers the flow of water from one
company's main to the other, the
meter moving forward when the At
lantic City water is let into the Pleas
antville mains and reverses when the
pressure on the Pleasantville water
forces itself into the Atlantic City
mains. The valve was opened on
Tuesday without the knowledge of the
local water company authorities, and,
what will be surprising to many, the
pressure on the Pl%easantville water
forced it into the Atlantic City mains
at the rate of $50 gallons per hour.
This is, indeed, a compliment to the
local company, as it thoroughly dem
onstrates that the pressure maintain
ed is up to the highest standard of
excellence. The idea of the connec-
ton with the Atlantic City mains is to
insure an adequate supply of water in
any emergency.

was read by request by Mrs. Thomas,
Supt. Sullivan brought before the
meeting two topics of vital interest,
both to parents and citizens. He de.
plored the lack of facilities which
compelled $50 pupils to attend school
part time; and hat the life and prop.
erty of citizens should be endangered
by u%nelevated railway crossings. He
urged that every parent and taxpayer
should band together to see that some
thing be done to relieve the crowded
conditions at School No. l, and to
compel the railroads to elevate their
highway crossings. Resolutions GOV.
ering both subjects were adopted.
The subject of distributing milk to
those pupils who were compelled to
attend school on part time was taken
up by Mrs. A. E. Greenwood. The
president appointed Mrs. E. Doherty
to work with Mrs. Greenwood as a
committee to investigate how this
work was carried on in other schools
and if feasible to put such a plan in
operation at School No. /.
