Friday Feby II. is the revival of
the long custom of au-
diences joining in the chorus of popu-

was made the first time Blanche
Ring, having exhausted the encores
to her new song, startled and de-
lighted the enthusiastic audience by
breaking into "Yip-I-Addy," the
song she made famous several years
ago. In an instant a dozen voices
joined that of the comedianne and
before the end of the first verse more
than half the men and women in the
house were Justify shouting the
catchy refrain Rings on Her Fin
gers and "Redelia" followed, the
chorus growing louder and louder as
one favorite followed another, and
now no performance of the delightful
musical play is complete until Miss

had their "song-fest.''

':What Do Men Want?" is not a

SEAMAN ADRIFT IN

on the Atlantic, about 500 miles from
New York-if his luck has held
John Brickner, a British seaman is
bobbing about in a lifeboat, waiting
out his sixth night in the hope of
rescue.
The story of his loss in a high
gale and of a heart-breaking game
of hide and seek his little bark
played with his would-be rescuers
was brought to port today by Cap
tain Walter Beckwith of the Steamer
FGaffney.
The storm broke on the morning
of February s, Captain Beckwith
said, with a 11O mile wind which
quickly lashed the sea into fury.
Brickner was sent with another sea-
man to make fast the lifeboats.
Swinging on the out-turned davits,
Brickner dropped into one of the
boats to make fast line, when a
! huge wave swept the boat away. (
Captain Beckwith quickly turned

struggle to get line to the life
boat, missing time after time by

FRIDAY, FEB. II
CHURCH membership
INCREASED RAPIDLY

Washington, Feb. 12.-Every day
of 2,173 persons joined the various
churches of America. During the
same time an average of three con-
gregations have been organized daily
and the average number joining the
ministry has been four and one-half
persons per day.
These facts are brought to light by
religious statistics for the United
States compiled by DR.. E. o. Watson,
Washington secretary of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America. The figures show that the
churches are steadily overcoming
their war losses. The total church
membership of the country, accord
ing to the latest available figures is
45,997,199 This is an increase, of
4,07O,345 over the 1916 census fig
ures and indicates a gain of more
than million members forth pre-
ceding IL months
The various religious bodies re-
port 233,1O4 congregations headed
by 2OO,09O ministers This is gain
of 5,617 congregations and 1924
clergy over the government figures
for 1916. While there has been
much talk of a shortage of ministers
the increase in clergy has been ap-
proximately SO per cent more than
the increase in the congregations. The
1904 difference between ministers
and congregations does not indicate a
corresponding shortage of pastors, as
many ministers, especially in the ru-
raj districts, have charge of two or
more churches.
Of the 45,997,199 person listed
officially as church members, the
Roman Catholics have 17,885,646.
Roman Catholic figures represent
estimated population including all
baptized persons. Protestant bodies
count only communicates.

THE conversation lasted long
time. The night had come and a
sudden storm tossed the branches of
the pines and the frs outside.
Speak" the sage continued. And
each time Myrrhus found a dead leaf
in his hand instead of the stone the
man of many virtues gave him. But
he still felt as burdened as he did
when he entered the hermit's hut.
The storm frightened him. He trem-
