MIND HYPN0TlzED BY SIGNS
One Reason Why City Man Fails to
Fsmiliarlze Himself With the
Towns Landmarks.

30 you know why 1t is so hard to
keep landmarks In your head in the
city these days?' asked the old
timer
1T is something that has bothered
me great deal. can remember that
up TO ten or twenty years ago never
had any trouble remembering that on
such and such corner was three
story building with a wabbly tin
cornlce. On another corner was u
yellow warehouse, etc
But fellow doesn't remember
these things any more unless he makes
1t duty | mean that the mind is
no longer impressed photographlcally
with the appearance of bulldlngs--or
vacant lots.
"The reason Is the advertising signs
that assault the eye wherever one
looks. The letters of the alphabet are
SO familiar to the eye that when we
see sign the eye at once begins trsc-
Ing the letters. This doesn't mean
thar we read all these signs. Our eye
is just unconsclously attracted to the
familiar type-and this type is about
all II sees on building or vacant
lot.
Il don't refer only to sign boards.
The merchants nowadays, particularly
the smaller merchants. fill their win
dows with signs OF all descriptions,
The names of the stores are lettered
all across buildings. The result Is
we remember neither building nor
sign"

demand TO-DAY is for men of knowledge
and character men dominated by high
ideals who are interpreting religion
terms OF living service. The home

ligious education.
Dr.. E. II. Hughster of Ohio. state
director OF the Near East spoke upon
The tragedy Of the near East.
He had just returned from t;le other
side where he was an eye witness
and said, 1T is impossible for anyone
with pen or brush to exaggerate con-
ditlons over there. Even today war is
raging constantly, missionaries and
| college boys and girls are relieving
suffering as much as possible. There
are 10000 orphans TO be fed and
cleaned from filth and vermine aid

from America all would have persisted
and should we withhold our gifts for
the next three months all these little
ones would starye to death.
John Alexander Of Chicago of the

ton referred to the Bible as the most
wonderful book in the world. All the
Iproblems OF the world have been
solved between the years OF IL and 20
years The men who make good in
after life, are the men who receives a
divine inspiration in youth. There
are but three institutions for putting

HOW WALL STREET GOT NAME
Designation Arose From Palisade
Erected by Sturdy Old Peter
Stuyvesant In Early Days.

II there had not been war between
Holland and England there Is no tell
ing what would have been the name of
Wall street, New York. The financial
center of America might have borne
any other name and have been just as
powerful as 1t is.
The wall that gave to 1t It's name
was put up by Peter Stuyvesant. The
old peg-legged autocrat had his own
intelligence service and he became con-
yinced that the New England and Con
nectlcut colonies were going to attack
him. His town north of the fort was
unprotected and he threw wooden
wall from the East to the North rivers.
II was built Of logs that were used as
palisades, with the upper ends spiked.
1t was not wonderful defense, as
we look at things now, but against an
assault by men armed with blunder-
busses It would have taken some sscri.
fee on the part of the attackers to
have carried ii.
But the old wooden wall stood for
half-century and cramped the growth
of the town. There was a ditch along
side it, and at night the gate was
closed and bolted and guarded. When
you got outside the wall you were in
the suburbs of New Amsterdam with
no Communication service to kick about.
It, however, named the street that ran
beside 1t and which is, perhaps, the
best known thoroughfare In the Uni
ted States.

SPLIT ON CHURCH DOCTRINE
Purtans First Came Into Being az Sc
ceders From the National Church
of England.

The Purltans were party which,
though n0minally taking ITS rise at the
time when Archbishop Parker, at the
request of Queen Elizabeth, formulat-
ed the constitution, articles and the
ritual OF the national Church of Eng
land, really owes Its origin to the in
huence OF Wycliffe and the Lollards.
IN consequence of Parker's scheme Of
church purity, serious differences
manifested themselves among the
clergy, those who demanded greater
strictness Of life and doctrine being
called in derision Puritan, or In
Burns phrase "the unco guild" The
party became split up into an ex-
IRENE section that preferred the Pres
byterian system to the Episcopal sys-
TEN, and moderate section whose de-
sire was simply 10 draw strongly
marked line of doctrinal demarcation
between the two standards of the two
churches. Later on (l5S0). there was a
third party. which eventually became
the most powerful of all, viz: the
Separatists or Independents, who ad-
vocated the congregational system,
whereby each charge would be re-
sponsible to itself alone. In the reign
of James l (l62W. the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs sailed from Delfthaven Tin the
Netherlands), touching at Southamp-
ton, England, and founded the colony
of Plymouth, Mass, at the end of thar
year. A few years later in the reign
of Charles /, great wave of Puritan
migration built up the colony of Mas
sachusetts bay, an offshoot of which
was the colony Of Connecticut.

RUTLAND GAS TOO HIGH
Expert Says Company Could Sell 1t
For SIG Ia.

fuA vi'oN 40.
Rutland, Aug. 20-The first real in.
terested upon the part of the citizens
since BEGINNING, a month ago, of the
investigation of rates charged for gas
by the Rutland Railroad Light A Power
company was manifested Thursday
afternoon when A. H. B. Little OF
New York city, an expert gas engineer
of countrywide reputation, told the
Vermont Public Service commission
that the local concern could, in his
opinion following his investigation,
sell gas at $l.69 IL 1000 cubic feet and
pay an per cent return on its plant
investment. The company is charging
s2.l6 1000 cubic feet after such dis
counts are made as allowed
The probing of affairs of the COM
pany has been brought about by petit
tion headed by Mayor James c. Dunn,
which was signed by scores of business
men and heavy consumers of gas. The
investigation will also include inquiry
into the rates charged for electric eur
rent.
The petitioners claim that the com
pany places an extravagant valuation
upon its gas plant in figuring out re-
turn on its investment Expert Little
said that the company ought to earn
an 5 per cent return on a plant valua
ton of $350,000 He said that placing
the valuation at 1925 900 the company
could earn fair return upon its invest
ment if it sold gas at STAG thousand
feet.
