ing Rev. S. K. Cockrell not only as the
editor of the Southern Baltimore Metho-
dist, the Baltimore Conference Com
mittee on Christian Education today
suggested that he also be given a pas
toral charge. The adoption of this re-
port together with that of Randolph
Macon College constituted the features
OF the closing session.
BY unanimous vote the conference
decided to meet again next year in
Roanoke, and the invitation extended
by Green Memorial Church to hold the
conference sessions in that edifice was
| accepted.
The question of removing Randolph
Macon College from Ashland to Nor
folk was discussed and the entire
matter was left with the board of
trustees of the college, their report to
be made at the next session of the con-
ference.
After the remaining reports were
read and adopted, Bishop Gambler read
the list of appointments, after which
the benediction was pronounced and
the session adjourned.

A Methodist School Not
To Locate r

The report that the Asbury Training
School, Mountain School OF the Balti-
more Conference of the Southern
Methodist Church, was to be located
at Woodstock, is found to be incorrect.
The location of this school has not
yet been determined. However, the
main office is temporarily located at
Woodstock. Judge E. d. Newman is
chairman of the board of trustees of
this school,
We hope that eventually the trustees
may determine to locate in Woodstock,
but there is no assurance of this fact.

AND THE FlREMEN LAUGHED!
But Perhaps All Of Them Didn't, Al
though Mrs. Blank Undoubtedly
Meant Well

Lawson Purdy, secretary Of the
Charity Organization society. said at
a reception in New York:
"SOme people run down the charity
eXpert-the man or woman who studies
charity and makes it his or her pro
fessiOn, but why shouldn't we have
charity experts as well as medical eX-
perts, law experts or military experts?
Take collecting, for instance-cOl-
lectlng for charity. The expert knows
how to do it., and the greenhorn, be-
side him, is like Mrs. Blank.
Mrs. Blank was the chief pillar of
a home for stray cats. The home was
in a very bad way. In fact, its credl-
tors said they'd fOreclOse on 1t If 1t
didn't, settle up at once.
Late one night, tossing sleepless in
her bed, heartbrOken over the homes
coming ruin, Mrs. Blank had sudden
brilliant idea. She rose, ran to the
telephone and sent in a fire alarm.
when the firemen, breathless and
wild-eyed, dashed up with their en-
gines and hose and ladders, Mrs. Blank
met them at her door.
"'BOys,' she said, with a gay laugh,
there isn't any fire really. I've just
brought you here because you've sim
ply got to subscribe 80 cents apiece
to my stray cats hOme'"

To Determine Displacement.

An apparatus by which the amount
of water displaced by vessel can be
found at any time by means Of a water
tube or gauge installed In the center
Of a vessel has been invented by the
French shipping engineer M. Augereo",
and was on exhibition at the French
national colonial exposition at Mar
sellles. 1t is said to be simple, prac-
tical and comparatively inexpensive as
to installation. BY this means an ac-
curate indication of the weight of car
go aboard ship can be secured at any
given moment.
