PRELATE HERE TO SAVE
 ALTARS OF PALESTINE
Places Made Sacred By Presence of Our Saviour Are in Danger of
 Becoming Neglected

| New York, July 31.-The sacred l places of the Holy Land, the places l hallowed by the human presence of
 the Saviour are in danger of becom-
 ing shabby and neglected. That Is the word issued by Archbishop Pan-
 teleimon, representative of the Patri-
 archate of Jerusalem, who has come to this country to interest the Chris tians of America in saving these places
 and maintaining them in the dignity
 to which their sacred associations en- title them.
 The locations include the Holy sepulchre, Bethlehem. Nazareth, the
 Mount of Olives, and others woven into the life of the Lord. They have been maintained in the past by the Patriarchate of Jerusalem. one of the four great branches of the Orthodox Eastern church. But today the Pa triarchate faces the rapid exhaustion Of Its funds as result of conditions following the world war. and the archbishop is here to cooperate with the American Committee on tie Pres ervation of the Sacred Places in the Holy Land in making good the de- ficiency.
 The committee is under the joint chairmanship of the Rt. Rev. William T. Manning, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and the Rev. Charles s. Mcfarland. general secre- tary~ of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in Amreica.

Whether they went so far as to display cotton clad ankles she did not say.

 they flew to the chamber, Alas! from their lips potent adjectives
 flew. They strengthened and twisted. they
 frightened and pounded, N Their powerful blows on the wooden
 peg fell, Anon, down the staircase their deep voices sounded, As they cussed the cord bedstead we all loved so well. At last there was silence. The
 struggle was over, The straw tick was placed on the
 tight web of cord, Then with feather bed tick, soft
 white blankets and cover And big bulbous pillows-sure twas

ICE CREAM AN OUTLAW
Laws covering sale of refreshments in England would make MT.
 VoIstead green with envy.

London, July S1.. GA. P.)-England does not have to conntend with prohi- bition but according to the ideas of the Ice Cream and Temperance Re freshment Trades Federation, the re- gulations against the sale of ice cream and soft drinks would make MT. Vol stead envious.
 Under the present law the sale of this class of refreshment is prohibited after nine-thirty in the evening, The bone of contention is that the West End Clubs and hotels are allowed to sell ice cream until midnight, while the working classes cannot buy 1t after half past nine. The regulation was en- acted as & wartime measure.
 The Federation will urge the Labor Party to place the matter before the House of Commons.
