INTERNATIONAL ROTARY
 MEET IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 8. - "The only organization in the world without an inactive membership" is the way George c. Diehl of Buff falo, New York, described Internal ional Rotary during the course of a report on attendance to the thirteenth annual convention of the organization in session here today.
 The unique features of Rotary mem bership were emphasized by this speaker in calling attention to the manner in which the organization has progressed in seventeen years from a single club in Chicago to more than a thousand clubs in 25 countries with an aggregate of something like S0,000 members.
 Each Rotary club, and each of the thousand odd clubs spent today in going over these facts as a part of their worldwide anniversary observ- arce, has one inviolate rule:
 This is the rule in regard to attend ance. Practically every club has a clause in it's constitution whereby a member is automatically dropped from membership if he misses four meetings in succession. To this rule is attributed one of the reasons for the remarkable efficiency of Rotary. A careful record of each members attendance is kept by the secretary and nothing short of sickness and death can excuse a member. Absence from the city is no excuse, for there is a rule whereby a member may at tend the meeting of a Rotary club in any city and receive credit for at tendance just as if he had been pres ent at the meeting of his own club.

A Newark, N. J., woman has found a new reason for getting a divorce. She got it, which should make all de- voices of the roal game more care full Her testimony was to the effect that hubby played so much golf, so often, that he hadn't time to be a husband and provider. It's an old saying of golfers, if business inter feres wit hgolf, give up business. This particular golfer found his wife inter fered with is game, and so she got rid of him!
 But this was nothing to the sad case of Des Moines, Iowa, lady who had a husband" who proved to be a woman, yet one so overbearing and strong that she held her "wife" in terror for a year and a half before the poor, deluded lady caused her Husband" to be arrested!
 The wife should have gone to Vas sar. Statistics from the great wo- mems college show that Vassarites, during the last ten years, are an inch and a half taller, two inches larger around, and with bigger hands and feet, all due to physical culture.
 A Charlestown, W. Va., boy. out riding in an automobile, was fired up on by an unknown assailant. Rushed to a hospital, he was X-rayed and his heart was found to be upon the right (which is the wrong) side of his body! Had his heart been where hearts are supposed to be, in the right place on te left side, he would have been in- stantly killed.

The young husband was kindness persOnified as far as his wife was concerned. But he didn't like delay and made many a diplomatic attempt to have her ready to go out when he himself was dressed. Living in a suburban community, they always at tended the monthly dances at the country club.

But now I plead they'll be fresher if we get them on our way to the club. If she keeps me waiting I explain with regret that there isn't time to get them. The florist is some what out of the way, and it means a half-hour's additional drive"

DURABILITY OF GLASS

It does not seem remarkable to find inscriptions written ages ago still vis- ible on the Tower of London or on the steeple of some cathedral. But one would hardly look on a fragile pane of glass in a common window for char acters more than two centuries old.
 A notable case in point came to light in London not so long ago, in an old house where the notorious Jack Shep. pard once lived as a carpenters ap- prentice One of the window panes still bears an inscription cut in it by a glazier'S diamond, recording the name and address of a man who preceded Jacks master in that house. The in- scription is John WOoley Brand, Painter and Glazier. March ?, 17O6." That was nine years before the com ing to the house of Jack Sheppard and almost two hundred and fifty years ago.

Like the great dramas of old, Genoa

states of mind-I may almost say two

into the great war for a common IDEAL

and the passionate triumph of victory
the Old Adam has gradually rea sserted

Adam, almost as afraid of his friends

Fresh excavations under the an
cient church of st. Sebastian have
added new material to the centuries
long debate between Catholics and
Protestants as to whether st. Peter
and st. Paul visited Rome and were
buried here.
The Catholics contend that ST.
Peter established the church here and
that he and St. Paul were martyred
and buried in the temple of Apollo,
in the via Aurelia.
Every Roman knows the legend which
recounts how at a certain period after
the death OF the saints pilgrims from the
Holy Land came here to recover the
bodies of two Apostles. seized them from
their resting place in the via Aurelia and
were forced by mob Of Roman Chris
tians to abandon them III the streets.

saints were then buried in the Church
of San Sebastian, the Mecca OF pilgrims
and the original site of the Catacombs.

chamber containing funereal urns, th'
