Ce1,efery Lots

A difference IL usually made In
cemetery lots In which burtals have
been made and those In which burials
have not been made. Cemetery lots,
though real estate, are generally ex-
empted from taxation. The purpose
Of this exemption Is chiefly to secure
burial places from sale for nonpay-
ment OF taxes. In the majority OF
states burial lot in which burials
have been made cannot be seized or
sold for debts OF the owner. If an
owner executes a mortgage upon 1t
the transaction Is usually held void
on grounds Of public policy. However,
cemetery lots In which burials have
not feen made may be bought and
sold subject to the laws Of ordinary
real estate transactions, provided no
special regulations of the community
or state alter the general rule.

Freennsonry

There is no evidence that the order
has been in existence for more than Il
few hundred years. AS now organized
the fraternity dates from 1Il7 when
four lodges of London met and formed
grand lodge. A few lodges can be
traced about 100 years before III.
Previous TO that there Is no record of
the order. Historians of the subject
say that in n general way the Masonic
lodges can be traced from the stone
mason lodges, survirals Of the guilds
which built churches, cathedrals and
bridges in the Middle ages. Stories
that the order has had an uninter-
rupted existence since the days of the
flood, since the time of Isis and Osiris
in Egypt or since the building of Solo
mons temple are mere myths and are
not considered as part of the real his
tory of Freemasonry.

Too Trusting

After affecting an entrance into the
bank the burglar found his way to the
strong room. When the light from his
lantern fell on the door he saw the
sign:
Save your dynamite. The safe is
not locked. Turn the knob and open"
For moment he rumlnated. ANY
how, there's no harm in trying it, II
II really is open" He grasped the
knob and turned IT,
Instantly the office was flooded with
light, an alarm bell rang loudly, an
electric shock rendered him helpless.
while panel in the wall opened and
out rushed bulldog which seized him.
An hour later. when the cell door
closed on him, he sighed: II know
what's wrong with me. I'm too trust

Fine Architecture in
PICTURESQUE Old City

On the bumpy, incredibly leisurely
line from Chartres to Rouen is the city
of Dreux, by no means unknown to
architects, and quite deserving of a
visit from them, II only for Its old
houses and Its four notable 'monu-
ments historiQues." says writer In
Scribner's Magazine. OF these latter.
the superb belfry of the old hotel de
vile stands forth as one Of the finest
In France. From the east Its well pro
portioned profile is In harmony with
the simplicity of that facade, and from
the west, towering up at the end of
the Grande Rue, there is just that wise
choice of ornament to endow Ii with
a restrained richness and sense of
excellent scale. The Gothic tracery
patterns are especially free and lovely.
A good suail's journey away is the
yellow stone form of the Eglise st.
Pierre, a product of those interesting
periods when the late Gothic and the
early Renaissance arts were mlngling
together. One of the towers is com
plete. very clear cut and fine, while
the other for some reason was stopped
abruptly, and remains untouched and
unadorned, presenting strange out
line of unfinished piers against the
sky.
OF an entirely different character
is the Echo des Jeunes Files, alias
the Tribunal Of Commerce, alias the
Hotel de Dlcu, a Sixteenth century
block of stone and brick, capped by
huge blue slate roof and sporting
curious iron ribbed rose window. The
simplicity of its mass is very splendid;
but this seems insufficient to attract
any "ohs" or "ahs" from passing tour
lists.
