This is an English story by
young woman who is tagged as "a
younger English novelist" and
whose first novel appeared in 1917.

people who live therein. The farm.

one of them. and her sister Marion
Marion has been working in a bake

Of unusually refinement and sensi-
h'lit!eS. In fact one surprising
thing about the book is that every
one in IL, even the rOu-her Charac-
te =, seems to talk well and with
knowledge Of good language. This
may be simply because the author
has tried to avoid dialect. or IL may
lie a part of her evident desire to
interpret them from the insi1e.
through their feelings aud thoughts
rPther than through any external
medium. She has succeeded in a
surprising degree, even while ham
ding a plot made up OF rather old
ingredients. and the book is sincere
even whole sentimental.

QUAKERS STILL
 BELIEVERS IN THE
 POWER OF SILENCE
By Associated Press

Richmond. Ind. January 14.-On the background of an experience O. more than 250 years. during which the Quaker church has relied upon silent waiting before God as the source of spiritual discernment, it's members, known as the Friends to- day still believe in the power of si- ience. Walter C. Woodward, general secretary of the Five Aears' Meeting of Friends In America and editor of the American Friend, in a statement issued here today said his religious group still believes that the world through the power of living silence.
 "f rom the constant clash and con- fusion which distract it." he said. the world must retire to the inner chamber of the unseen reality of the spirit, if peace and good win are to become regnant.
 The world is now stirred as never before with aspirations for world brotherhood. To become fruitful these aspirations must be based upon the will to peace. The attainment of this will is primarily spiritual, rather than an intellectual, process. 1t must come through spiritual com
 
 with man, the brother. Herein lies the power of silence. through which we may become in tune with the in- finite.
 This is not the silence of seclusion which would lead one from life's re- responsibilities to the introspection of the monastic cell. It is what Friends term 6 living silence through which men may become spiritually ener- gized for the great tasks of human betterment.
 Spiritual things cannot be dis cerned without quiet meditation the western world is reminded by Sadhu Sundar singh, the Bindoo seer. That American churches are coming to recognize this fundamental principle is illustrated by the clarion call for spaces of silence" made by The Churchman, organ of the Episcopal church of America.

r FAMOUS PINE OF
 KARASAKI DEAD
Tree Famous in Song and Legend of Japan Is
 1.200 Years Old
By Associated Press

Tokio. January 14.-The famous old pine tree of Karasaki, on the shore of Lake Biwa. famous In song and leg end and visited by thousands of pill grims each year as one of the eight beautiful scenes of Lake Biwa, is dead, says the Japan Advertiser. This ancient pine was said to be 1900 yesra old, having lived from the time of the Nara Epoch. During the last Wear it has wlthered and died.
 Recently there was held on tho shores of Lake Biwa a ceremony ito transfer the spirit" of the ancient tree into young tree that will sue ceed to the honor and near worship which has been bestowed on the 'I<arasake no matsu." The youthful successor of the veteran which has passed is only 350 years old and claimed to have sprung from seed cast by the old tree The solemn ceremony was held under the direc tion of Kasai, priest of the Hiyoshi shrine, in the presence of more than 100 of the highest dignitaries of Shlga prefecture.
 The ancient pine was of that low spreading variety often seen in this country Although only 30 feet in height it's branches covered a span Of lG@ feet from east to west and 15i feet from north to south. The area shadowed ly its wide spreading branches was 4,200 square feet
 The new tree of smaller dimensions is 20 feet in height and II feet Q inches in the circumference of its trunk. The area covered by its branches is only l,500 square feet, But this tree is still d youngster and has $50 years in which to reach the dimensions of the ancient pine of Kar saki that has just passed.

PANESE SEE AID

Educational Association of Japan Regards Washing ton Gathering as Most

By Associated Press

Tokio, December 1.-(By MaiL)- The Educational association of Japan. which claims to have the support of 100000 teachers throughout the coun- try, regards the Washington confer ence most opportune and sees great benefits to accrue to national educa- ton as a result. The following com- munication has been sent by the seo- retary iof the association, F. Nogu- chi. to Secretary Hughes under date of November IS:
 Dear Sir: We. members of the Educational association of Japan, are greatly gratified with the object of the Washington conference, which is to promote peace and happiness of mankind by limiting armaments We think that the burdens of competitive armaments are seriously obstructing the cultural and industrial progress of the world. especially educational expansion. on which all cultural and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-15

industrial development depends. We hope. therefore. to spend whatever saving that may be made by the re- duction of expenditure on armament first of all for educational purposes. Ii Is our belief that the spread of bet ter education will in turn secure the peace of the world by removing mis- understandings and suspicious from international relations. For such req son we have always thought that an agreement for the limitation of arna- ments is the first step toward peace Hthe interested nations ought to take.
 We hall, therefore, the Washing ton conference as the most opportune measure taken since the peace of Yer sailles. Difficult as the object of the conference seems to be, 1t is by no means impossible if each nation faces the problem with frankness and sim cerity May we hope that the wise and sincere counsel of your excel lency and other chief delegates will carry the issue to a successful con clusion.
 "The Educational association oi Japan was formed in February Of this year by influential editors Of educa- tional publications and other prom inent educationists in Tokio. and is now heartily supported by 200,00u teachers throughout the country. Ii is not influenced by any prejudicial interests and is acting solely for the propagation of the above ideal. May we remind you that the insignia, with the slogan, education first, which we had the honor to present to all the chief delegates to the conference through a member of Peace society, were designed by this association We shall deem 1t a great honor if your excellency and other chief dele gates will wear them as witnesses to the ideal we have just stated"
