CHURCH NOW 225 YEARS OLD
Trinity, New York's Most Venerable
Religious Institution, Received
Charter From William Ill.

The 225th anniversary of the grant
ing by King William III of a char
ter to Trinity was celebrated the other
day in the old church at Wall street
and Broadway by services in the morn
ing and afternoon, says the New YORK
Herald. More than four thousand per-
sons attended. The Right Rev. Will
liam T. Manning, bishop of New York,
returned to the pulpit from which he
had preached for one-third of his mir
isterial career and delivered an adj
dress in which he outlined Trinity's
history and painted a glowing future
of patriotic. religious and benevolent
services for the church. The sermon
was delivered by the Most Rev. Daniel
Sylvester futile, bishop of Missouri.
The present church edifice dates
from 1880, the one built after the
Revolution on the site of the original
Colonial structure being torn down be-
cause it had been found unsafe.
Bishop futile, eighty-five years old,
who worshiped in Trinity as a young
man. ~recollected that he sat in a rear
pew while down front knelt the prince
of Wales, later King Edward VII.
The original charter of the church
and relics of the first communion serv-
Ice were exhibited in a side room.

Weaving and Spinning.

1t Is likely that the art OF weaving,
in it's most elementary form, was prac-
ticed long before men abandoned the
use of animal skins for clothing, or
perhaps even before they adopted
clothing at all. No doubt it began
with the first crude attempts of print
tive women to weave twigs into some
kind of object.
After they had succeeded IN making
baskets and similar articles, 1t prob
ably occurred to some bright cave
woman that clothing might be made
by weaving some soft material like
wool, says a writer, according to the
Detroit News. To do this it would be
necessary to twist tufts of wool into
long strands. Thus the beginning OF
spinning. And as the strands OF wool
were not stiff like twigs, 1t would be
necessary to have a certain number
of them taut between poles or some
thing in order to cav the fabric.
Thus the first loom.

Nav Workers in Dancer.

Prof. Edward Sapir. director of the
anthropological division of the Vic
toria museum at Ottawa, Canada. in q
lecture in New York, said: New
Workers are so busy they may lose the
art of speech. Though a New Yorker
myself, / am struck by several fea-
lures of New York life. The first one
is that it is very hard to talk to any
n here. Surrounded by a barrier of
stenographers and telephone girls,
business men have no time to sit down
and be sociable. The primitive man
with his simple mode Of living was
far better off than we are with all our
modern efficiency. New Workers are
fast losing the art Of proper speech"

SUCCESS OF "slLENT .NlNE'
BY Its Use Airplane Passengers Are
Enabled Freely to Converse
With Each Other.

A silent airplane engine has at last
been invented.
In a recent test the d%eafening roar
of the engine and exhaust was COM
pletely eliminated when fitted with
the silent Nine" as the new inven-
ton is called.
Passengers. will now be able to con-
verse with ease while in the air, and
not be forced to shout at the top OF
their voices.
The .Silent Nine" is very simple In
construction and In principle, says
London Answers. 1t consists of an
expansion chamber fitted to the end
of a long exhaust pipe, and arranged
in such a way that the gases from
the engine are cooled Immediately
they leave the red-hot exhaust hole.
This is the secret of engine silence.
The inventor is Major Grant, the
superintendent Of the Croydon air
drome depot.
One silent Nine can be sold at a
profit for less than f1O $500, and
already there is a great demand for 1t.

sELF-PRoTEcTIoN HER AIM
College Girl Proves She Has a Mind
by Care She Takes to Hide
the Fact.

1t Is time for the college girl TO
meet the charges heaped against her.
She is called frivolous, empty-headed,
and her appearance is considered
wrong in every detail. Now she is
driven to confess that 1t is all done
for self-protection, writes Olga Owens,
in Judge.
With a mind as valuable as hers,
the college girl Is not safe. In these
days of constant holdups and rob-
berries, ruthless bandits are waiting at
every turn. How can she go abroad
proclaiming to the world the vast
wealth of knowledge that is hers? OBJ
viously, she must disguise it.
Suppose she lets her hair grow
Pinned up on a head already enlarged
by so much learning, she becomes so
conspicuous that she falls prey to the
first intellectual crook. So she bobs
it. Suppose she wears long skirts. or
ever a modest collegiate gown. Would
it be surprising If ONE dark night she
is held up, and at the point of a pistol

"Iliad' to some desperate college pro-
fessor? So to be doubly sure, she rolls
her stockings. Education is a con-
spicuous thing, and if the student APP
plies a little powder now and then to
cover up it's shining light upon her
face, she should not be condemned.
The desperate age in which we live
has made all this necessary.
So it is with admiration and pity
that we should regard her, bravely
adopting the latest styles, without
complaint. Not even the reformer
wears his pocketbook where 1t a be
seen. The college girl proves that she
has a mind by hiding it.

The Fourth Of July saw many auto
accidents, but few were as peculiar as
one which occurred near the Prescott
ferry on the Minnesota side that af-
ternoon. At a point where the ferry
road makes a sharp turn and leads
under a narrow trestle two cars col
lided and were locked in tight en-
brace, like boxers in a 'elinch.' A
little Ford skipred down the hill,
scooped round the sharp trlsn and
happened right into the midst of the
locked cars, adding its bit to the gem
eral tumble. One man, of the several
persons included in the passenger
list involved, was slightly bruised.
Lightning last Saturday night made
a freakish visit to the ho.ne of 0. 0.
Steen and family at Ell Paso. Enter
in through a chimney the charge dis
trit ted itself into practically every
room in the house, and although the
family were all at home no. n was
injured. 1t ruined an iron bedstead,
but did not hurt two girls sleeping in
the bed. It tore through the wall just
above Mr.. Stems bed, and also rip
ped things up in the boys room. The
refrigerator was riddled and a lot of
furniture was splintered, but the
house did not catch fire. A hinge on a
screen door was torn off and tossed
so feet out into the yard. Last whit
er NJ. Stems house and barn were
destroyed by FIRE and he is now oc-
cupying a neighboring house while
his new home is under construction.

NOW ALL IS READY WHEN MINERS WORK
Machinery for Coal Distribution
 Is in Motion

Philadelphia, Sept. s.-Machinery Is In motion today to accomplish an equitable and expeditions distribution of anthracite coal when the miners return to work as the result of q con- ference here last night in which rep Tesentatives of the government, New York, Pennsylvania, the New England states, the operators and leading rail- roads participated.
 At this conference, called at the be- hest of Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, w. D. B.\ Ainey, chairman of the Pennsylvania fuel commission. who presided, appointed the following committee to plan the national dis tribution of hard coal.
 Committee Selected.
 Samuel D. Warriner. chairman; w. L. Cornell. w. J. Richards, Alan c. podson, w. H. Williams, R. c. Morse, Jr.. E. w. Parker, J. F. Der men represent both operators and railroads.
 It is likely that MT. Hoover will to- day name another member of this committee to represent the govern ment.
 Although the question of fair prices for anthracite coal came in for much discussion at last nights con ference, it was made plain by Mir. Hoover and Mir. Warriner that price fixing is the york of individual state fuel administrators and commissions.
 However, MT. Hoover gave out as surance at the close of the meeting that the governments first concern in the anthracite situation is to see that the householder is supplied with hard coal promptly and at a fair price. Leading operators concurred with him.
