MANY ATTEND SERVICES

Two impressive services were held
in the Simpson Methodist Episcopal

vice being the annua1 church men,
orial service for all members who
died during the past year and the
evening service the annual Masonic
memorial service for all deceased
members of Raritan, Prudence and
Huguenot Masonic Lodges. Large
congregation attended both morn
ing and evening services at which
special music was a feature. Rev.

ing with the occasion.
A special feature of both services

At the morning service, Rev. Mr.
Westcott read the obituaries Of six
members who had died during the

topic: "The Eternal Home" The SER
mon dwelt for the most part on love
of home and how we look forward to
the Eternal Home after death. In
the evening he spoke from the
theme: "Son Remember" This SER
mon for the most part dwelt upon
memory and he showed how some
memories are store houses of all that
is beautiful while others are filed
with trash.
During the evening service brief

shipful Master Chris Nielsen, and

Indian Music.

THE music of the American In
dams is solely and simply vocal
1t seems to be generally agreed by
musical authorities that the Indians
songs have in them nothing borrowed
from instruments, nothing Of artificial
instigation. An Indian melody never
serves two sets of words. There is no
instance, it appears. where the people
have sung the different stanzas Of a
ballad to the same air.
A large proportion of Indian songs
are entirely without words at all. syl-
tables being employed to carry the
tones. Perhaps the most striking Pc
culiarity of Indian music is the lack
of definite pitch. The Indian begins
his song where the natural quality of
his voice and his mood at the time
render IL easiest for him to sing IT..
The pitch of the song depends upon
the individual.

Iron and Paper.

WHEN we have in mind the fact
that writing papers are made
from our old clothes we rarely stop
to consider that these discarded gar
ments also have buttons, buckles,
hooks and eyes. which cannot be made
into paper. The cloth sorters find
most of these before the pieces go
over into paper. The cloth sorters find
all OF them. II any are left in the
pulp they tear holes in the paper and
often damage the rolls also. To
avoid this damage the pulp Is passed
in a thin layer under a series of
magnetized rakes, which are moved
to and fro so that the magnets will
reach every portion of the pulp. The
resulting collection on the rakes is
said to be as varied and interesting
as the proyerbial contents of . boys
pockets.

LEGION POUNDS NEW
 CHAIR AT UNIVERSITY i

PORTLAND, Ore.,- Establish ment of an American Legion chair of history and patriotism at Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon, is regarded by national officials of the veterans Association as one of the most significant developments of the organizations policy ot Americanism. Founding of the course was recommended by Legion workers in the Pacific Northwest and was made possible through tho generosity of Mrs. Robert L. McCor mack of Tacoma, Wash, long a loy- al friend to the ex-service man. A s60,000 building is now in proces. of construction and an additional gift of $50,000 assures the perma nency of the chair. A further en- dowment will be undertaken by tho Legion.
 Field work by school and Legion authorities to investigate industria unrest has been an outgrowth ofthc course. Its success is expressed b. one employer who recently said'"As the American Legion men of m. force go, so the others will go''
 The course offered includes la boratory work in investigation in social, industrial and economic con |ditions of unrest, aside from the class room instruction and lectures on essentials of patriotism. It em- braces study of the rise and fall of nations and scrutiny of social decay which eventually led to the down. fall of many of these countries. Ls- zion national headquarters recom- mends the establishment of similar courses in other institutions of learning.
