SPEAKS ON PSALMS
Rev. John l.. Davis Explains How Their Age Can Be Determined To Members of Bible Class.

Rev. John L. Davis, at the weekly meeting of Everyman's Bible class yesterday mornng spoke on the third and fourth psalms. He said that there are various means of determin- ing when a certain psalm was written. One of them is by noticing the lan- guage used in it. Certain words did not come into existence until after particular events in history had oc- cured. By comparing the times one can judge the date of the writing of the psalm.

Mussel Shell Buttons are
Very Fond of Water

Much of the popularity of the
fresh water pearl button, particu-
larry for wash garments, is due to
the fact that this button has a
positive fondness for water. Other
buttons such as the horn and bone
are soaked to soften the substance
in the process Of manufacture, but
the pearl button Is the only button
which may be said to be a native of
the water.
The fresh water pearl button likes
hot water, as we'll as it does
