ORIGIN OF COATS OF ARMS

for the centuries unchanged, except for
a slight alteration in it's spelling had
in the earliest time, before surnames
were used, and when language was I'M
developed and few could read or write,
a totem or seal, which represented it.
The totem was used as a seal. All
persons Of property had SEAL and
when knighthOod was introduced in
feudal times, after the Roman era.
the device Of the seal was painted on
the knights shield, and he was known
thereby when the helmet was closed
In warfare or in tournaments. The
earliest knights had no crest. Later,
when the knights in q family multi
piled, crests on the top OF the helmets
were adopted to distinguish those who
bore similar arms on their shields.
Crests represented the Christian name,
the arms the surname. The arms were
often printed or embroidered on the
knights mantel and horse blanket, and
hence was termed coat Of arms"

SERVES TWO GOOD PURPOSES
Aerial Forest Fire Patrol Not Atoms
Of Value in Saving Timber
From Flames.

The aerial forest fire patrol Is not
only of inestimable value to the tim
ber-growing states of the Pacific coast,
but of great value to the United States
army, writes Robert w. Ruhl in Les
lies.
If an invading foe ever strikes at
the Pacific coast, maps, and similar
data, direct products of forest fire pa
troll, will be of inestimable value to
Uncle Sam. And il the millennium
arrives on schedule time, and wars
cease then with the development Development OF
the commercial airplane the value of
these data will run into sufficient
money to make the expense of the for
est fire patrol look like the German
mark.
In another direction the aerial for
est fire patrol is of material value to
Uncle Sam. The great military prob
lem in time of peace is to maintain
lighting morale. To an extraordinary
degree fighting forest fires calls forth
the same qualities required in fighting
an armed foe. Locating a forest fire
In the wild western country is almost
identical with locating an enemy bat
terry; reporting a forest fire to base
headquarters by radio is not essential
~ different from reporting artillery
fire; dropping carbon dioxide to ex-
tinguish incipient forest fires-a pro-
1ected development of the near fu-
ture-demands the same technical
skill as would dropping bombs of TINT
on an army ammunition dump.
The aerial forest fire patrol. more
over, provides ideal training for OBJ
servation squadrons. Liaison with the
forest service is accomplished much
The same as with the infantry and ar
,illery in war operations.

enough men in the pews at this morn

1t is to be remembered that at all
hours Trinity has people in its pews
regardless of services.
Recently this morning custom has
grown, until at present the numbers
in pews at $50 o'clock will reach
forty to fifty. They never bring In

MEXICANS TAKE TO "MOVIES"

SIAM HAS LEPER VILLAGE"
Plague-Stricken Patients Fill Offices
in the Town Government and
Assist in Work.

A progressive Siamese leper ''vil.
lage' is described by the Bangok cor.
respondent of the London Daily Mail.
Wonderful progress has been made
during recent times with regard to
the treatment of lepers in this neigh
borhood, many scores having been
housed at the Chiengmai leper asylum,
which was established with the Joint
aid of the Siamese government and
the mission to lepers some thirteen
years ago.
This asylum is run on the lines Of
a Siamese village, with a village head
man chosen by the lepers themselves.
The leper has been made to think that
he is still useful citizen of the state,
and not a social outcast as hereto
fore. They work under their head
man, look after the roads, and attend
to the clearing of the jungles.
There are two schools within the
settlement for children of the lepers
and the attendance is Aood, despite
the fact that most of the pupils suf-
fer from the terrible disease. The
plague-stricken boys and girls, with
their nerveless, deformed fingers, work
as hard as their more fortunate lep-
rosy-free schoolmates In the other
school of the asylum
The asylum has its own currency,
so that the coins can be avoided by
the outside world.

MOVED WALL WITHOUT INJURY
Engineering Experts Proved 1t No
Trick at All to Lengthen Big
Buffalo Church.

In olden days, when the medieval
cathedral builders wished to lengthen
one Of their great churches Sand this
happened very frequently, there was
nothing for it but to pull down the
western wall with its two towers, If
1t possessed any, or the eastern face,
and lengthen the structure to the de
sired extent
Today, however, thanks to the highly
developed art of "house moving"
we can lengthen church without any
preliminary destruction of it's princi-
pal front. AS witness of this, the
front of the Central Presbyterian
church, Buffalo, was recently moved 80
feet eastward, to permit frightening
of the auditorium to that extent. The
front of the building is 70 feet wide
over the lateral buttresses, Us feet
high and feet wide at the thickest
parts. The weight of the wall, as
moved, is 1000 tons.
The preliminary operations consist
ed of removing the front, preparing
the new foundations, 80 feet to the
eastward, and making a clean cut
through the roof and through the side
walls, where they abutted against the
church front. While this was being
done the front wall was lacked up
upon rollers. The work of moving the
1,000-ton mass was done by means of
screw-jacks, operated by Is men, and
the wall completed its journey of 80
feet without injury in 16 hours
