After working for several days

inform you that am advised that

Need OF Self Directors
To Save Society, Speaker
Tells Layman's League

Isle of Shoals, n. H.. July 30.-Au-
thority in religion and morals has
broken down. and to forestall the
smash-up in society WHICH this condi-
ton threatens, educators will have to
develop in men and women a sense of
| self-direction, Rev. DR.. Theodore G..
Soares. head Of the department Of
practical theology at the University of
Chicago and president Of the Religious
Education Association, declared in his
opening lecture today before the Uni
| tartan Laymen's League third institute
| Of religious education in session here.
! 'Why should / do anything that
| do not want to do? is a question typ
! ical Of the attitude OF the modern liter
ature towards life" DIR. Soares said.
| But who are you? You are a part of
| society and you should do what will
make the society Co."
| The wife who leaves her husband
| and three children ito live her own
| life is an instance Of the modern ten
dency towards "self-expression," DR..
| Soares continued. The general break
| down of authority is q dangerous but
| perfectly natural step in human evolu-
| ton. but 1t calls for the sort of edu-
| cation that will give the people self
| direction and show them how to live
| in a world where there is no one to
| compel them to live as they should, he

| THE greatest single contribution to

About $50 members of the Unitarian

FOREIGN Walters Flooding London

The British waiter is gradually dis
appearing. and foreigners are taking
his place. This is particularly
noticeable in Soho and some of the
leading West End restaurants which
are managed by Italians, Greeks and
Polish Jews who prefer walters of
their own race rather than the Eng
lishman.
During the war Soho became al
most English in character, but of
late the foreign invasion has chang
cd conditions. Foreign managers
naturally help their own countrymen,
but another reason is found in the
fact that foreigners will work for
considerably less money that the
average Englishman. There are also
waiter agencies which find jobs for
the foreigner in the smaller "off
street" restaurants and collect high
fees from the applicant as well as
take proportion of his weekly earn
ings. If these are not paid regularly
their employers are informed and the
waiter loses his job.

ONLY White Houses Built,

The Bcrmudas are a land of white
houses. No other color 10 to be seen.
They are all built of the native white
stone of coral formation. which under
lies every foot of soil. When first
quarried the stone is so soft that it
may be cut with a knife. but it hard
ems with exposure to the air. When
a Bermudan wishes to build himself
a house. all he has to do is to buy
himself piece of land and scrape off
foot or two of soil to reach his
quarry. BY means of saw the stone
is cut into pieces of the proper size.
Thin fiat slabs of the same material
form the roof. The houses. even in
Guiding the roofs. are frequently
whitewashed on the outside, and con-
trast strongly with the deep green
verdure by which they are sur
rounded. There are no Shanties, as
there are in the rest of the world.

Great Serpent Swallows Tide

Aristotle and Heraclitus said the
tides were caused by the sun, which,
whirling the winds about, cause
them to fall with violence on the
Atlantic. says the Detroit News,
which thereupon swells and thus
causes the tides. Platos explanation
was that they were caused by an
animal living in a cavern, which,
through the movement of its mouth,
caused the tides. Another belief was
that the tides We're a naural move
ment of the respiration or breathing
of the sea.
There are records OF medieval be-
liefs among the Arabs. Some
thought that the tides were caused
by the moon heating the waters so
that they swelled up and thus rose
higher, while others believed they
were caused by vapors generated in
the bowels of the earth.
Again others believed they were
caused by the alternate decomposi-
ton of the sea by the air, and then
the air by the sea, thus accounting
for the ebb and flow.
Still another belief was that a
great serpent swallowed and vomited
water alternately.

Facts About Bells

Man made bells before he learned
to write, says Clinton H. Meneeley,
veteran American bell founder.
These first bells were vessels of clay,
which gave off a pleasing resonance
when struck.
Aboriginal people used bells as
ornaments. Moses, Isaiah and the
prophet Zachariah mention the use
Of bells as anklets on the feet of wo-
men. as yokes for horses and in
temples. The Greeks decked their
triumphaI chariots with bells. The
Romans used them to call the citi-
zens to temple and forum. Paulinus
of Nola, an Italian bishop. first used
bells in Christian worship. About
400 A. D.-shortly after the time of
Paulinus-church towers became
general in Europe. Two hundred
years later PaEAl bull specified that
every church shAlld have a bell.
The curfew bell, the angelus bell
and the passing bell are part of bell
practice and tradition. The ringing
of bells ushered in the French
Revolution. The great bell Of st.
Marks, Venice, and others equally
famous were alarums.
Bells are designed according to
mathematical law. Chinese bells are
frequently square, japanese and
Korean barrel shaped, and Italian
bells long wasted" American and
English bells are made of two metals
only, copper and tin. Silver does not
sweeten the tone of a bell, as is
popularity believed.
A bells tone is affected not only by
its metallic composition, but by It's
shape and proportions. The voice OF
a bell is really q chorus of voices.
Vibrations from bells are powerful
Muleteers in the Alps muffie the
small bells around the mules neck,
lest the vibrations start snow slides.
The largest bell ever cast is the
Tsar Kookol, made to the order OF
The Empress Elizabeth of Russia in
1888. A million dollars worth of gold
and iewelry was thrown into the
moulten metal by jealous subjects.
A huge piece was broken from the
side when the tower supporting 1t
was burned The bell now stands
near the Kremlin wall in Moscow
The next largest bells are in China.
One, in Pekin, weighs 10000 pounds
and is IL feet in diameter.
The Liberty Bell in Independence
Hall. Philadelphia. is the best
known bell in the United States.
The finest chimes, a number of con-
trasting bells, are at the United
States Military Academy at West
Point. It has been pronounced the
best-toned by musicians and bell
makers.-Mentor Magazine.

Ancestry Of Birds

Evolutionists believe that man arose
from the basic, stock that produced
the apes. The ancestry, of birds can
be retraced still further to none other
than the lowly reptile. Fossil birds,
to which we must look for our evil
dence, are almost as scarce as fossil
men. Extinct reptiles and mammals
have been preserved for us in abun-
dance, bnt the very power of fight,
which raised the bird above its rep
lillian ancestors. has done much to
cheat us of avian remains. Cum
brous awkward creatures. without
this magic gift. chance caught in
sticky pitch or the treacherous mud
of some lagoon. are unable to escape
it's grip. But the light-bodied. quick
winged bird is seldom trapped in
such a way.
