The Explodinu Plow

Something new in plows is being
marketed, based upon patents issued
to Herbert Knight, of New York.
Instead *of simply turning the
ground over. the new implement
skaters it. the pulverizing being ac-
complished by series Of explosions
that takes place below the surface.
The pillow is propelled by a gasoline
motor, the exhaust gases from which
are conveyed through a suitable pipe
into hollow cultivator teeth which
extend into the soil The lower ends
Of these teeth have suitable OPEN
ings, through which the gases dis
charge with decorating force. The
ground Is thoroughly broken, the
weeds torn out, and the earth left in
a fluffy and highly aerated state. The
decorating gases are mainly carbon
dioxide, water vapor. oxygen and nj
trogen, all beneficial to plant
growth. The force of the explosions
destroys fungis undesirable animal
life, eggs and larva. - Scientific

CHURCH FEDERATION
SECRETARIES MEET
Annual Conference Shows Increase
in Number of
Workers

COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 2l.-The AS
sociation Of Executive Secretaries OF
Councils and Federations of Churches
held its annual conference mere
When the first meeting was held eight
years ago there were only twelve sec
retaries employed in the country; now
there are SiXty-five in forty-four cities
and four states. Thirty-flve Of these
city and state secretaries were present.
In addition. representatives of twenty
OF the county councils Of churches in
the state OF Ohio were in attendance.
The time was devoted to the discus
sions Of principles and methods OF work
which have been developed in the past
few years. Evangelism naturally occu-
pied the most important place in the
program. The reports of the past year
made clearer than ever the wisdom of
the plan of simultaneous efforts in pas
toral and personal evangelism This
plan is being followed not only in the
cities, where cooperative work is we'll
organized, but also in many cities where
there is no employed executive. Social
service in its many phases was con-
stantly to the front in the discussions.
More and more the councils of churches
give themselves to constructive work in
this field while giving abundant atten-
tion to all preventive measures.
DR.. Hugh S. Magill. general secretary
Of the International Sunday School
Council of Religious Education. spent
day with the secretaries, studying with
them the problem Of religious education.
The secretaries agreed that there must
be a closer coordination OF the diff
ferent phases of religious education
such as the daily vacation Bible
schools, k-day religious education
and teacher training. They were also
agreed that whatever the form Of or
ganization might be. it should secure a
wise integration of the program of re-
Egious education with other programs
Of cooperative work carried on unitedly
by the churches
During the past year several addi-
tions have been made to the ranks of
the secretaries, with only two or three
Withdrawals.

with two thoughts in mind
first, the comfort of the
wearer, and, second, the
foundation needed for the
new frocks and costumes.
There are soft, strapless bras
sieres for evening wear and
firm, long wasted models with
attached hose supporters for
dress. There are plain or
elaborate ones of elastic, jersey,

And there are particular
