Men due Into Icy Bay
to Rescue Holy Relic

according to the picturesque custon,
u the Greek Orthodox churcb aooo
persons, mostly members of the Church
u 81. Nicholas at Cedar and West
streets, marched to the Battery for the
rieuai or the cross In celebration ~
epiphany as designated by the craep
calendar. While thousands filled the
battery park and lined the sea wall
Ior a glimpse Of the esoteric cera-
monies, eight men, acting for the con.
gregation and demonstrating its VIII
ingness to sacrifice. plunged into the
Day and rescued therefrom golden
ngure or Chiist 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 sin 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-
Drants 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 If 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 5000 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 it's figure of
Christ out into the bay. The eight
men dived in after it, and returned 1t
to the priest. Only waiting to put
their clothing on over wet bathing
suits, they joined the procession back
to the church.-New York Times.

Had Good Reason

It was the usual rush hour. A
chivalrous young man got up and Of
fered his seat In the street car to q
young woman.
One Of the straphangers turned 70
friend who was standing by him
and said:
DO you know I've been travelling ID
these cars the last ten years, and
I've never given my seat to woman
yet"
The friend was a gallant fellow.
We'll, that's surely not much to
BOAST aboutl" he said. severely.
You would have done just the
same" retorted the first man.

Food for the Careless

A reader who was interested In the
story of Mrs. John Corley. who was
obliged to call Fire Firel" in order
to get her careless husband to chop
wood for the kitchen stove, sends us
this account of somewhat similar In
cident:
My grandmother, she writes, used to
tell about a cousin Of hers whose hus-
band also was careless about provid-
ing firewood. Like Mrs. Corley, the
woman had managed to get along
somehow, but there came day when
her patience became exhausted. 1t
was In harvest, and she expected to
have several extra men to dinner. Be-
fore her husband went to work she
asked him as usual to cut some wood
for her, and as usual he went off with
out doing 1t.
When the men came to dinner they
gazed in establishment at the table;
1t was set in the usual way, but moth
ing on 1t was cooked At one end was
a big pan of biscuit dough, and at the
other was platter Of freshly-cut ham
ready to fry. There were various other
things on the table, such as raw pota-
toes and raw turnips. In few words
the woman explained that since she
had no wood she had been unable TO
cook.
With one accord the hungry men
started for the woodpile, and In a
short time she had steaming not am
ner for them. And never before nao
she had such big pile Of frewood =

a. rest for time until conditions are
again normal and their functions are
automatically restored.
The Searsburg plant Is the upper
most of the seven stations of the New
england Power company on the Deer
Acid river. Its generator. with ca
nacity OF $500 horse power, Is driven
~ turbine rotating at $50 revolu-
lions minute. The huge mechanism
ean be timed in It's activity by the
setting Of an alarm clock. II. for In
stance, the company's dispatcher down
IN MIllbury, 100 miles away In central
Massachusetts,, decides to tie in the
searsburg power at 8 o'clock the next
morning a man visits the station and
sets an alarm clock for that hour.
The control circuit is closed when
the alarm goes off. the gate of the gi-
rantic penstock Is opened. the waters
pour through the wheel and the gen.
orator begins to convert its power into
electric current. This is delivered to
the high-tension wires by the same
generator, the wires stretching along
the right of way to the Millbury dis
trlbuting station at Mlllbury. Again
the dispatcher, knowing the flow of
water let down from the company's
Somerset reservoir. which impounds
the flow of the upper watershed, may
decide that the automatic device shall
generate 1000 or 5000 horse power,
In such case a dial on the governor
Ia set for that power, at which the
station will generate until the setting
of the dial is changed.
Other characteristics of this auto
matte machine are equally unique. If
allowed to run as It wants to the tur
bine will start up when water arrives
In sufficient volume, and will shut
down when the water falls below the
efficient limit. When bearing be-
comes heated the penstock gate closes.
In which case the wheel will remain
Idle until experts come to remedy the
trouble. When the generator windings
become too warm, however. the unit
shuts down only long enough to allow
the temperature to become normal
again. Then turbine and generator run
as though nothing amiss had happened.

AFTER ALL is SAID AND DONE
JONES PAYS THE FREIGHT"

This is one of the most discussed
questions of the day, concerning
which there is much ignorance. 1t is
calculated in addition to the enorm-
Gus total of taxes collected each year
for running the government of the
nation, of states, counties, cities,
towns. villages, school districts, ETC.,
approximately S1,S00.000,000 annually
is required to pay a relatively low
rate of interest on the outstanding
debts of all these divisions combined.
That sum is equal to $685. for each
man, woman and child in the country.
For family of four consisting of
father, mother and two children, the
cost of carrying the burden of debt
amount to s66.36 a year.
Some persons are so poorly inform
ed as to be unconscious of the fact
that they are helping to carry any
part of the burden of the public
debt, and therefore, are Indifferent
over governmental extravaganza.
Doubtless some of them chuckle over
the amount that they have shifted the
burden over to the shoulders of some
other citizen. Because they do not
actually hand over the lump sum of
$16.59 per head or $66.36 per family of
four persons to the tax collector, they
think they have evaded payment But
each pays his share in some form as
none can escape.
If a landlord, for instance, pays
$500 year toward the aggregate sum
required to meet interest charges on
the nations existing debt, If a big
storekeeper pays $1,000, a manufactur-
er $4,000, railroad 100000 and so
on up the scale, and thereby apparent
ly pays the share of many individuals
and family men, yet such is not the
fact. Each taxpayer who pays the
official collector has charged a little
more for rent, little more for the
articles sold over the counter in
store, a little more for the product of
a factory, little more for the service
of transportation, and so on. Each
individual pays his $685. year to-
ward the fund for meeting interest on
ways; few cents here and few
there, and at the end of the year he
has paid his full share
Any policy of public extravaganza,
every act OF official mismanagement,
which involves increase in taxes or
public debt, reacts unfavorably upon
the producer, whether employer or
and the effects spread down
ward until they touch every indivual
of the humblest home. In this con
nection it may be remarked that here
is a fauow field lying ready for cult
walton by our public school authori-
ties. Political economy has an omin-
Gus sound to the 15-year.old, but it's
principles may be so simply present
ed as to make them understandable
by every boy and girl in high school
today. And every one of them living
at the next decennial census will be a
voter.-Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

BAKING IN THE HOME

Wy iltlth Ioh lIOn hihbJ
For the past few years there has
been noticeable tendency to buy
ready baked and delicatessen foods
instead of preparing them at home;
and with many it has become a per-
manent habit, hard to drop.
Lately, however, 1t has been
noticed, home baking is again finding
itself of prime importance among
other household duties and new as
well as old favorite recipes are being
exchanged. Card index recipe boxes
are given to the bride-to-be; while
housewives and students are taking
as great pride in showing their abil-
ity in the culinary line as the chef
and teacher.
Home baked foods have after all
the best flavor and taste and real
appreciation is sought when a plate
of fresh home baked doughnuts or
crullers are served where bakery
goods have been the usual thing, and
when hot crisp light frltters are
served for dessert, every one is bound
to be pleased.
When a platter OF piping hot corn
fritters or salmon croquettes, sea
soned just right, are brought to the
table with suitable accompanying
sauce or gravy, the appreciation that
Is shown is sure to repay the efforts
of the one who prepared them
These things certainly show we are
81 - a
fashioned days of home happiness
l. Points about Deep. Fat Frying
The fat should be tested to see that
1t is at the right temperature for the
best cooking Not more than four
or five doughnuts should be fried at
one time when using a medium sized
kettle such as found in the average
kitchen. A large number will cool
! the fat and the result is the dough-
nuts are apt to crack. Neither will
fried food be as crisp II cooked In too
much OF a hurry Slow but not too
slow cooking is preferable.
The frying basket should be low,
cred gently into the hot fat until the
contents are completely covered with
the hot fat. After frying, lift up the
hook or strip at side OF kettle and
drain off any excess fat. Lift out
doughnuts on to a piece OF clean un.
glazed brown paper, which will alb.
sorb any further grease. Change the
paper as soon as 1t becomes greasy.
