ENGLAND OPPOSED TO
BREAKING DOWN CHURCH

Lausanne, Dec. Is. - England
took an energetic stand at Laus-
anne yesterday against the Turk
ish plan of deporting the patriarch
of the Grek orthodox church at
Contsantinople. The British dele
gate told the subcommittee that
the expulsion of the patriarch
from the traditional seat which he
has occupied since the conquest Of
Constantinople would strike a
mortal blow against the religious
sentiments of all orthodox peoples
and shock the religious sentiments
of countries like England.
England has great sympathy
for orthodoxy, which is based on
the religious traditions of Chris
tianity," he said, "and other coun
tries feel the same; probably
America also"

To be most enjoyed, they should be
cozily comfortable, loose, easy tc
slip into, and have nothing tc
fasten.
The smart robe illustrated is as
exquisite in color as in softness.
The outer material is green crepe
satin, more quiet In color than
reseda, the sheen of the satin sub
DUNG rather than intensifying the
color.
The inside, which carries a
greater responsibility than mere
lining, is Of orchid color albatross,
quilted to downy soft wool lin
ing. This quilted material, which
may be purchased by the yard,
is very soft and very light in
weight, SO it is ideal for the pur-
pose. The inside and outside are
held together by lazy-daisy stitches
done in soft yellow or green tying
ribbon, the stitches being few or
many as one desires.
Some prefer to use the quilted
albatross for the outside with a
soft silk lining inside. Smart eff
fects are attained either way, the
colors Of the season making pos
gible many unusual and delight
fully pleasing combinations.

establishments clings TO but 2.39 cents
of eaery dollar it handles the inference
is fair tharaother concerns do not do
MUCK better. Moreover, it is obvious
that complete elimination of its profits
would not appreciably lessen prices.
Muckrakers and suspicion breeders
fasten attention on dividends. Now,
capital stock does not measure invest
ment, which is sometimes more than
capital stock and sometimes less.
Whether a concern is serving the pub
lie well or i'll is shown by the difference
between what it pays for goods. plus
expenses, and what it gets for its
goods. But the noise makers habitually
disregard this profit margin.
So it is also with respect to retail
establishments. In many things there
has been false guidance the public has
been led into blind alleys and unfair

who also have suffered from the
fluctuating dollar Yet 10 their honesty

WHERE SPoNGES ARE FOUND.
Grown from Seed OFF Florida--Ten
Years to Grow Big Ones.

Few people who use sponges ever
give a thought as TO how they are OBJ
tanned says correspondent in the
London Daily Mail. Before 1914 the
finest qualities and largest quantities
of our sponges came from the Mediter-
ranean the chief ground being off the
Greek and Turkish islands thence
through the Dardanelles to the Sea of
Marmora, and so along the coast of
Asiatic Turkey and Syria TO Cyprus.
Here the sponges are Drought up by
divers either stripped or attired in full
diving costume. When the sponges first
reach the surface they present a feshy-
looking appearance, the substance be-
ing covered with firm skin, or mem
brane, in which apertures appear and
disappear seemingly at the animals,
viii. When cut, the interior is some
what like raw meat in appearance, be-
ing interseeted by numerous canals
and cavities. The cavities are filled
with a sticky fluid of grayish- brown
color. termed milk
This is the only living portion OF the
animal, and must needs be removed
Immediately; otherwise putrefaction
speedily sets in and destroys the elastic
nature of the sponge. Ii this opera
tion is not performed on board before
the vessel reachers shore. the tilld
sponge bags are dispatched with all
speed to the gathering grounds. There
the fluid is removed and various clean
ing and bleaching processes transform
the raw" sponge into beautiful
lemon yellow color.
This done, the sponges pass to otb4r
hands for trimming to shape, and lat
er they go to the grades, who sort
them according to quality and size.
The next process is, that OF drying
after which they are weighed and
packed ready for shipment.
II is not commonly known that sew
sral varities Of small sponges are found
around English shores. They are most
y discovered between high and low 4
war mark. though they bear little
resemblance to the sponge of commerce.
Growing sponges from seed is car
-ied on off the coast of Florida. The
seed sponges are cut in small pieces
md attached by wires to circular or
cement blocks and then
ewred TO the ocean Ibottom
IN about two years they reach a size
iuitable for commercial purposes,
they are removed and new
ICED cuttings are attached.
TIL period of growth for an ordinary
,ath sponge measuring about foot in
Iiameter is 10 years. For this reason
