Men Due Into Icy Boy
to Rescue HOLY Relic

According to the picturesque custom
OF the Greek Orthodox church. 1900
persons, mostly members of the Church
OF st. Nicholas at Cedar and West
streets, marched to the Battery for the
ritual OF the cross in celebration of
Epiphany as designated by the Greek
calendar While thousands filed the
Battery park and lined the sea wall
Tor a glimpse of the esoteric cere-
monies, eight men, acting for the con-
gregation and demonstrating its will
lngness to sacrifice, plunged into the
pay and rescued therefrom a golden
figure of Christ on the cross.
The ceremony, an annual event In
the Greek church, attracted such
throngs that police reserves from the
Marine division and the Old Slip sta
ton called on firemen from the fire
boats tied up at the battery to help
them establish lines to hold the curl
GUS in check. Hundreds were drawn
to the scene by the long line of cele-
brants as they passed through the
downtown streets and by the large
band that accompanied it.
According to the Greek calendar.
Epiphany. or twelfth night, fell on
week day. Members OF the Church of
St. Nicholas, applying for a permit TO
hold their ceremonies at the Battery.
were told that because Of heavy traffic
In the bay 1t would be better IL they
could do so, to hold their celebration
on Sunday.
This was done, and the congregation
gathered at the church, where the line
OF march formed. When the 1900 had
gathered along the sea wall the Rev.
Dorotheos Bourazanias, pastor OF the
Chuch Of st. Nicholas, after the pray
ers and the ritual Of the service, threw
the wooden cross with its figure of
Christ out into the bay. The eight
men dived In after 1t. and returned II
to the priest. Only waiting to put
their clothing on over wet bathing
suits, they joined the procession back

Men and Instincts

Writers of the last century regarded
instinct as almost non-existent in man,
whereas reason was denied to animals.
Later scientists hold differently, among
them having been Prof. William
James, who maintained that man has
as many instincts as animals. He fur
Their maintained that instinct played a
leading part in the determination of
all human conduct. McDougal, the
eminent philosopher. goes still fur
Their and says thtat mans organisms
would become incapable of activity of
any kind If instructive dispositions

The old cement made by mixing
litharge with glycerin is as good as
any for mending holes In kettles. pans
water pipes, etc. The litharge and
glycerin should be kept separate until
needed, and only as much as is re
quired at the time should be mixed,

NEW ENGLAND HAS
 NEW ICING OUTFIT

An ice conveyor and crusher that will deliver crushed ice to the fishing vessels at the rate of a ton a minute, has just been successfully completed at the Ketchikan plant of the New England Fish Company.
 Work on this apparatus has been in progress during the fall and summer and was constructed under the direc- tion of Chief Engineer Roy J. Minnich of the company, who also planned the conveyor.
 The conveyor is electrically oper- ated and is designed to take ice from the 1,4O0 ton ice room at an height, lift it to the approximate height of the building and deliver it in a chute on which it slides into the crusher at the southerly end of the dock, and thence down to the boat.
 The conveyor is original and is said to be the only one of it's kind as far as is known, and the crusher is the

FLORENCE KLING HARDING

The death of Florence Kling Hard ing, wife of the former president, at her home in Marion, Ohio, today, brings us to the realization that m life we are in death. A little over a year ago Mrs. Harding visited Se- ward, and endeared herself to our people by her democratic ways and pleasant disposition. Today she lies cold in death. Of the presidential party who visited Seward, four of the principals have died within the past year, the first comprising President Harding, Secretary Wallace, Dr. Saw yer and Mrs. Harding. Several of the visiting congressman also have passed away. The death of Mrs. Har- ding will recall vividly the pleasure experienced by Sewardites in meet ing the leading lady of the land Many Seward residents also have letters and pictures given them by her, mementoes of the visit.
 She was martyr to i'll health, for years suffering from an incurable dis ease, that brought her more than once to deaths door. At no time did she lose her cheerfulness and had a pleasant word for all with whom she came in contact.
 Florence Kling was married to Warren c. Harding July 8, 1891. At this time her husband was a strug- gling young newspaper man and the young couple went through many vic issitudes before arriving at a compe tency.
 Her death is a great blow to those who knew her. After life's ftful fe- yer we trust that she will sleep we'll
