SAFE INVESTMENTS"

Recently Raymond Hitchcock
was credited with giving ''sure
fire. system for beating" the
races. 1t was not to bet on them
Now comes the United States Treas
ury Department with "sure fire.
investment. The department advis-
es buying Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates.
These certificates are sold at $40,
$50 and $500 and in five years are
paid off at $25, 500 and $1,000, re-
spectively. This is 25 per cent in
five years; there are no taxes to pay
on them and as the name of each
owner is recorded in Washington,
the loss of the certificate itself does
not mean the loss of the investment
And Uncle Sam stands behind the
guarantee.
Both of the foregoing systems
are unbeatable in their respective
fields and might well be ''twinned
up for the best results. What is
saved by taking Mr.. Hitchcock's adj
vice may be made into insurance
against ill fortune in years to come
by accepting the advice of the Treas
ury Department.

NATIVE BIRDS INCREASING

Reports from every, section OF
Kentucky indicate that there is a
considerable increase in the number
of useful birds, which is ascribed
to the protective legislation adopt
ed by the Federal Government and
practically every State. q~ss
Particularly is the increase OBJ
served in the cardinal, robin, thrush
and bluejay, which. have invaded
even the large cities, where they
are now to be seen in great num-
bers. Only a few years ago the
sight of some of the species was a
rarity.
1t was the common belief that the
English sparrows had driven the
other birds away, but the constant
increase in the number of song birds
since the enactment of protective
legislation disposes of the fallacy.
All of this goes to show that intelli-
gent conservation is doing much to
restore conditions existing before
the era of wanton waste and de-
struction. 1t has been only few
years since bird egg collection was
a popular fad not only among boys,
but among many .grown-ups and this
fad took enormous toll of bird life.
This is now prohibited by law, as
well as the confinement of any
American song bird. Formerly it
was a common sight to see the car
dinal and hooking bird in captivity,
but now these birds delight the ear
with their notes unhampered by
confinement in a cage.

STATE AIDS TEACHERS

The States share of the cost of
maintaining the So county teacher
training schools in Kentucky for
white teachers and prospective
teachers this summer will amount
to 27,SS4.50, it was stated by Chas.
ID. Lewis, State director of teacher
training. The counties will pay the
difference between that amount and
$41.26S.50. Mr.. Lewis said that
S,543 teachers and prospective
teachers are enrolled in these
schools. The eight training schools
for negro teachers will cost the
State about $4,000.

ROME THE ETERNAL CITY

HERE is always a large crowd at St.
Peters on Palm Sunday and as early

Peters on Palm Sunday and as early
as eight o'clock the people begin to
assemble. The ceremonial itself lasts about
three hours and in order to see it many Wis
itors stand for FIVE or six hours. Ladies
alone are favored with seats, and only
then if they are in dark dresses and with
black wells over their heads, instead of
hats and bonnets. One of the papal regi-
ments is always on duty within the sacred
precincts to be replaced by the "noble
guard" of the pope when the latter enters
the church. During the. service the chief
sacristan brings forth an armful of So
called palms and places them on the high
altar. These are stalks about three feet
long resembling walking cane dressed
up with wisps of yellow straw. In reality
they are sticks to which artificial palm
leaves had been glued.
His holiness the pope, who dresses plain
~ for the occasion on account of the fact
that the church is still in mourning dur
ing the Lenten season, enters the church
in his chair of state. He advances up the
nave; he gives his blessing to the as
sembled multitudes until he finally reaches
the throne at the further end of the church.
After some music the pope proceeds to
bless the palms which are brought to him
. from the altar. The blessing is effected
by reading certain prayers and the incens-
ing of the palms three times. An en-
broidered apron is now placed upon the
pope's knee and the cardinals advance to
his holiness, receive palm from him,
kissing his right hand, his knee and the
palm. The mitred abbots, who are next to
receive the palms, kiss the pope's foot in
stead of his knee. There is some more
music and then low mass is said, after
which the pope is carried back with the
same gravity to the small chapel whence
he came, which connects by passage
with the Vatican.
day in holy week is the singing OF the
Miserere in the Sistine chapel. The ser
vice which is also called Tenebrae from
the darkness in which it is held begins at
half-past four. The whole office is fine
ly finished musical composition which is
performed by the organ and sung by
voices of what is probably the finest choir
in the world. During the singing of the
service all the candles on the altar are ex-
tinguished one by one, with the exception
of the topmost candle which is concealed
behind the high altar, symbol of deaths
of all the prophets before the coming OF
the Savior and of the resurrection of the
Christ.
On Thursday, the ceremony of blessing
the oils takes place in St. Peters during
mass. There are three varieties of oils to
be blessed and the ritual surrounding
qualification is somewhat complex. The
first is the oil of the catechumens used in
blessings, baptism, in consecrating churches
or ordaining priests and in blessing and
crowning sovereigns. The second is the
oil used in extreme JUNCTION administered
to those who are dying, while the third
or sacred chrism composed of oil of the
balm of Gilead is used in confirmation,

CLOCKS AND WATCHES


N our modern high speed life, time is
becoming always more important to US
and more part of our activity, con-
versation and thought In spite of this
fact the average man knows little of the
wonders of present-day time-keeping de-
vices. His watch either runs or does not
run, it either keeps time or does not keep
time, and that is the end of his interest.
And yet the desire for accurate time-keep-
ing is as old as history itself, and horology
was an established science when B. c. be-
came A. D. The ancient Egyptian astron-
omers had selected certain stars which
crossed the meridian at approximately
equal intervals during the night, and so
divided it into units corresponding to
hours and these periods were numbered in
an orderly fashion.
Man is largely concerned with the
change from day into night and night into
day. so it would seem logical to take this
cycle as a fundamental unit in our mea-
sure of time. Fortunately the average 70
tation of the earth about. its axis is, within
the limits of accuracy of our measure
ments, at an absolutely constant rate. As
tronomers have given us positive proof
that the time required for one revolution
is the same today as it was in the time of
Hipparchus,, an Alexandrian who lived
about 1000 b. {. Calculations of the
ecipses show variation of less than
1-200 of second from his day to ours
In order to determine the speed of rota-
ton of the earth, it is necessary to refer to
some fixed point outside the earth. Such
a point may be the sun or fixed STAR IF
the revolution is measured with reference
to the sun it is called solar day, and
with reference to fixed star a siderial
day. 9These two differ in length because
the earth makes one revolution about the
sun during a year, thus making one more
solar than siderial day during the year.
the sun is not uniform, being faster when
nearest the sun, so the variation of the
length of solar day may be as much as
so seconds plus or minus. In order to cor
rect for these variations, we have estab-
lished an average or mean solar day that
forms the fundamental unit Of our present
time system. The division of the mean
solar day into its fractional parts was
made at time before the adoption of the
decimal system and during the vogue of
the sexagesimal system, so that we have
twenty four hours per day, sixty minutes
per hour and sixty seconds per minute.
Lengths of time shorter than one second
are given in the decimal notation.
The problem before the ancient horolo-
gist was the construction of device which
would measure of not only the mean solar
day but its fractional parts with sufficient
accuracy to be useful.
The first attempts were undoubtedly in
the direction of crude sun dials, for as
early as II b. C.. we have record of the
use of such an instrument. "And Isaiah,
the prophet, cried unto the Lord; and he
brought the shadow ten degrees backward,
by which it had gone down in the dial
of Ahaz."
For century after century the sun-diai
continued as the principal fPsss .. osa ~

Mr.. Baker revealed today that
fraudulent kilograms had been
sent to the president purporting
to endorse the candidacy of ]. c..

West Philadelphia hotel, for ap-
pointment as register of the Uni
ted States treasury. The kilograms
bore the names of Mrs. George

said none of those persons knew
anything about the kilograms.
Mrs. Wanamaker received a let

knowledging the telegram.
Similar kilograms were sent to
the president and Senator Pepper
asking that appointment Of state
