INSPECT CHURCH
IN HOLYOKE, MASS
Several from Centre Church Here Make
Trip in Interest of Contemplated
Changes in Vestgy

About a dozen members of the Centre
Congregational church. including heads
of the Sunday school departments, some
of the building committee and others,
went by automobile yesterday to Hol-
yoke. Mass, to visit the Second Congre-
gationaI church with a view to utilizing
some of the ideas gained in Improvements
which are contemplated in the vestry of
the Centre church. There is an impera-
tive need of more rooms for the Sunday
school, especially class rooms, also better
facilities for social purposes, the present
quarters having been serious handicap
to the accomplishment of the best work
for a number of years, and it is planned
to make some changes to meet this need.
Details have not been worked out, but
it is planned to utilize not only the pres
ent floor but also the floor below and to
provide class rooms overhead. At the
same time the needs of the parish for a
dining hall and assembly room and of the
Woman's association are to be met.
Besides this it is planned to re-decorate
the church and possibly rebuild the pipe
organ
After the party had inspected the Hol-
yoke church, which is one of the finest in
| the East. the party had picnic dinner
on Mt. Tom and then went to the sum
NIT by the cable railways and enjoyed the
magnificent view from the summit house.

TIME CONSUMED IN
POWDERING NOSES
Local Business Man Who Is Mathemati-
clan Figures Out Time Lost in
Year by FIappers Employed.

One local business man who is also
mathematician has figured out why busi-
ness men in general are opposed to the
employment of fappers. \ sample case
is taken thus: \ business man has 10
fiaIpers working in his office, all of them
having bobbed hair and powdered noses.
Each powders her nose or fiuffs her hair
at least five times each hour and makes
an average of u motions each time, TAX
ing one second for each notion This
means that each fapper would lose 90
seconds each hour and 10 fiappers would
lose 10 minutes each hour. If these girls
worked eight hours a day for an average
of 800 days in a year the total loss of
time i'll year would be 24,000 minutes
or approximately is days.

RIVALS FOR RUBBER
Radio Outfit Makers and Pipe Manufae-
turerS Cam0r for 1T

The radio craze has been mighty
good thing and still is for the manufac-
turers of electrical supplies and wireless
outfits. but it is not causing any notice
able outburst of rejoicing in the pipe
and smokers article trade. As a matter
of fact, the leading pipe manufacturers
in and about New York city have been
put to n great deal of inconvenience
and expense as a result of the wireless
boom.
That doesn't mean that one should
jump to the conclusion that the pipe
people are put out because radio fans
are giving up the tnoxious weed On
that score there is no ground for grum-
| bling. for there is no evident decline of
| smoking and especially pipe smoking
According to one of the leading manu-
| facturers of pipes, the men and a good
many of the women are doing more pipe
smoking than at any other recent period.
The reason for their complaint is far
removed from the question of smoking
and not smoking. 1t arises from the
/ fact that a material that is used in a
+ minor but rather essential part of pipes
and cigarette holders is also just as es-
! sential to radio apparatus. That ma
/ terial is vulcanized rubber.
| Virtually every moderately priced pipe
/ and many of the very expensive ones
have yulcanized rubber bits. The long
novelty cigarette holders that at pres
ent are enjoying great popularity are
also for the most part entirely manufac-
/ tured of vulcanized rubber.
Radio outfits also use vulcaniZed rub
/ Der to a considerable extent. Ii is en-
ployed usually for bases, insulators and
| in almost all types of outfits for the
headpieces.
TO intensity the conflict Of interests
between the pipe and the radio indus
tries. the manufacturers who fabricate
! vucanized rubber cigarette holders and
i pipe bits are the identical ones who are
engaged in manufacturing the rubber ac-
ceSsories for radio. As result the rub
Der people have been overwhelmed with
a glut of orders and are daily falling
further behind in their shipments.
The pipe people don't know how thf
.adio folks are faring in these circum
stances. but they do know that they arc
still waiting for deliveries of rubber
that arc long overdue. One pipe manu-
factnrer has stated that in his own cast
he has pipes completely finished except
for the fitting of the mouthpieces am
be doesn't know now whether he vii
! ever get them. Deliveries of vulcanizet
rubber bits and holders are from 16 t.
Is weeks overdue.
How serious this is TO the pipe indus
try can best be realized when one con
siders the amount of rubber used fol
smokers articles. There are no definite
figures available. but one of the leadini
men in the industry has said that up
ward of 100000 would be a conserva
tive estimate of the amount annually
expended by the pipe manufactures
: for rubber bits and holders.-New 4orl
