You glance at his writing and you
notice two things. One is that he

he has a tendency to make ali of his

Other things being equal. you will do
well to take cognizance Of these two
things and make your decision accord !.
ingly. As mater Of fact, the down.

Modsrnisirs the Marriage
Ceremony

The Commission on Revision Of the
Book Of Common Prayer has reccha-
mended in its report recognition Of the
changed status Of women By striking
from the Episcopal marriage ceremony
the promise to obey, and eliminating
the compulsory giving In marriage.
Il 10 recommended that the promise Of
the man and the woman be made
identical in form, the woman no longer
undertaking to ''obcy" and "serve."
Also, the bride a. a chattel being rec.
ognised % obsolete, she is no longer to
be given away. The commission pro.
poses, however, that in gaining equal
rights with men in their marriage vows,
women should lose privilege In the
striking out Of the bridegroom's pledge,
"with all my worldly goods thee en-.
dow"
The report Of the commission was ex.
pressly ordered published SIX months In
advance OF the, convention which 10 %
vote upon Il 'in order that the people
Of the church may be informed Of the
changes proposed and have ample time
for consideration.
So thought Of how the women OF the
country will look upon that part OF the
report which deals with marriage vows
cannot be impertinent. .8
Though most Of us, looking upon them
as survivals only in form, have not re.
sentcd being given away" or the IN

Women are no longer expected to obey.
Instead, they are expected to make hall

according to the dictates Of their own
will.
But since these revisions are supposed
to express the spirit Of the time, the
third change proposed, the elimination
Of with all my worldly goods I thee

There has been no change In the sit

dependent upon the earnings OF her hus-
band. She still gives her time and en-
ergy TO ner nome anu ner cuuuEeu, IN 9
measure which prevents her from sup
porting herself. and It is still the man
who must be the breadwinner.
Nor has anything happened which
makes her less entitled to an equal share
in his possessions. On the contrary, az
a real partner she is more than ever
entitled to an equal vote in the family
fortunes.
The practical application Of with all

Can You Tell?
How Chickens Originated

The ancestor of our chicken or barn
yard fowl was small thin bird-the
red jungle fowl of India. There were
number of species in the order OF
fowls, but ours is the only one which
has become thoroughly tanned. Even
before people had domesticated them
they had given up flying for long dis
tances. They used their wings only in
efforts to escape pursuit. or to reach
their .oosts. They had already learned
to live in groups and, because they had
ceased flying, had developed the habit
of staying virtually In one place. A
peculiarity about the fowl in its wild
state Is that even then the young
ones did not leave the flock when once
able to shift for themselves.
There are other things to be noted
about the chicken family as We know
IL. Some OF their traits seem to denote
intelligence. IL you watch a brood OF
little baby chicks In yard with the
mother hen, where there are number
of similar broOds all apparently mixed
up. YOU will notice that If the. mother
hen clucks to call her chicks, they run!
directly to her. II all OF the hens cal
Mt the same time, the chicks run tt
their real mothers. 1t Is hardly pos
sible that they could know their mothers
by sight.
ably lie II, the fact that the mother her
teaches the little ones her "cluck
cluck." as soon as they are hatched
and that the little ones are able to dis
tincuish the cluck of their own mother
While one "cluck" is like another t.
hs, they are probably different with
each mother hen. On the other hand
II you put some strange chicks in thu
nest with a mother hen she will chase
| them out. She seems to know hel
chicks from those Of any other brood.

New York, May S.-The week in the
stock market began with unmistakable
signs Of a further reaction from the
long sustained bul movement. For the
first full session in about four weeks,
dealings fell undo the million share
level. barely a~ggregating $4,000 shares.
At no time was the buying power a
match for the selling, a considerable
part of the offering emanating from
professional interests. News over the
weekend recess was mixed but partly
Of a sort to invite an extension OF the
short ccoun
The foreign situation provoked heavi-
ness among International currencies and
domestic conditions suggested further
easement of the recent broad invest
ment inquiry from out Of town sources.
Industrial developments were conflict
ing. Three Of the largest oil producing
and refining companies posted higher
prices for gasoline n bunker oil,
while sharp reductions were Announced
in four well Known types of auto
mobiles.
Middle west railroad tonnage exceed
ed for the most part the movements
of last years corresponding period and
eastern traffic returns were fairly large
with the exception of coal haulings.
Domestic oils and Mexican Petroleum,
as well as the motors, equipments, and
Junior rails yielded most easily to in
termittent pressure.
New Haven was the n active stock
to run counter to the general trend,
rising to the years best quotation in
the final dealings when the general list
was most confused. Coppers also help
ed to sustain the market, with a few
laneous specialties, but a heavy
ruled at the close.
Money rates showed unexpected tirm-
ness. The four per cent opening quota

price until just before the markets
close when Az per cent was demanded

OBSERVE ARBOR
DAY INFORMALLY
No Set Program in Any of
the Schools Has Been
Planned.

Montana's Arbor day will be OBJ
served in Great Falls today with in
formal programs in the city schools.
Songs, recitations and readings appro-
pirate to nature Of the day will be in
cluded in the grade school entertain
ments. A review of the founding and
purpose of Arbor day will be presented
at the high schools, where. however, no
formal arrangements have been made.
The various instructors will give to
the occasion such Importance as they
deem fit in the daily work in the class
rooms.
As the birthday anniversary of J.
Sterling Morton, founder of Arbor day,
was observed in the city schools on
April % with special programs COM
memorating his work of promoting the
planting of trees and the setting apart
of a special day for this purpose, the
for today will be informal.
The name of Paris Gibson, the
of Great Falls, is honored for
his having planted the first trees il
city. 1t was through his interest
and work that the city b~oulevards have
been beautified by the trees that have
n of the city's notable at
fractions. Efforts to have trees of a
uniform kind and size have been real
!zed to such an extent that Great Falls
has become known throughout the
United States for its shaded avenues,
which because Of their uniformity pre-
sent an appearance of striking beauty.
