Amendment Now In Effect.
The amendment to the canon of
marriage and divorce had been

That puts a stop to the aspira-
tions of the Rev. Percy Stickney
Grant to marry a divorced woman"

Concerning the use of fermented
wine the bishops referred the reso-
luton presented by the diocese Of
al tTRTNf IN rR

There are women in the church

We have lost some and we VIII lose
more of these women by our con-
servatIsm.'
Bishop Defends Youth.
The pastoral letter was read by
the Right Rev. Charles Fiske, bishop
coadjutor of Central New York
Some of the utterances of the pas
toral letter follow:
I'VE have little sympathy with
critics who adopt a censorious at
titude toward youth. Freedom OF
behavior and carelessness of speech
NAV mean dislike of convention, the
desire to be natural and human
They may mean a larger freedom
in social habits and a real democracy
of thought and activity.
"I.abor-the union will be as
cordially hated as the most unpopu-
lar of Industrial trusts if they neg
lect the call to serve. while insisting
on the right to have. Efficiency in
production. honesty in labor, better
work as well as better wages-thIs
must be the program if industrial
Justice is also demanded"

CAN'T REPLACE THE BROOM
Is Still the Most Dependable Cleaning
Agent, Report Shows.

Chicago. ILL.,. Aug. 22-The broom
remains in indisputed first place in the
farm home as a dependable cleaning
agent, declares a report of broom
making and the broom corn situation
complied by G. B. Alguire of the bu-
reau of agricultural economics, de-
partment OF agriculture.
Reports from manufacturers sup
plying the trade in large cities, how
ever, estimate that inroads have been
made into the broom business of from
10 to so per cent by substitutions, the
report shows.
This is due to the increased facilities
for cleaning and the increased number
OF modern buildings using hardwood
and tile floors, in the opinion OF Mr..
Alguire. Push brushes. oil mops
vacuum cleaners and bristle brushes
are among the substftutions mentioned
while palmetto fibre. rattan and GER
tain grasses have been used partly to
replace broom corn.
Sales of brooms for May. 1922, were
approximately 247, 900 dozen as COM
pared with 2O1. 100 in the same month
of 1921, making an increase of about
% per cent, the report stated. An
increase of about &c per cent was re-
ported in broom corn consumption for
the year June 1, 1921 to June 1, 1922
