Ethel Gray Terry, Ethel Wales.
 Q. Can you give me the name Of an African gazello which contains only four letters9
 A. The name Is "mohr."
 c. Are what is known as tidal waves due to any action of the tides?
 A. A tidal wave is term ar roneously applied to almost any un- expected wave that inundates the seacoast or tSe shore of a great lake. These waves are rarely If ever due to the tides, since the tidal wave is Il phenomenon not admitting of exact calculation and predictions; on the other hand, they may usually be traced to some distant earthquake or violent storm.
 O. What is the doctrine of tran standardization?
 A. This is a word used by Roman Catholic theologlans to designate the change which they believe to take place In the eucharistic elements of bread and wine in virtue of tho conservation. The term was first officially adopted by tho church al the Lateran Council of 1915 and tho doctrine involved by 1t explicltl! defined as an article of faith by thu Council of Trent; "The whole sub stance of tho bread is changed int the body of Christ and the who'll substance of the wine into His blood the species Cor appearance) alon' remaining"

RIIIGInTA INSTRLCTION

school and church officials oi New Britain probably had keen interest in a dispatch from Mount Vernon. \. Y, which declared Su- prelne Court Justice seesor Of New York had signed an injunction re- sir,inins ,he board ol education Of that city rom allowing children Of the fifth and sixth grades tn the puJHc schools 10 take of ij min utcs a week for religious ins'ruc- uon.
 The learned justice was quoted as dcc.aring that if ii be necessary or advisable 10 give religious in s,ruction on school days, zach day is long enough for such instruction without cucroachtng on school hours,

New Britain herald., 1925-06-24

garding the attitude Of large blocks of citizens regarding religious inc struction, If they believed In 1t they would not oppose a paltry hour or so a week given over to it; the fact Is, they do not wish tho children to have any religious instruction at all and are endeavoring 10 place all manner of Instructions in the path of the religious instruction move ment From the name of tho or ganiZation in Mount Vernon, one Of whose officials applied to the court for the injunction, one can get an hiking of the type of opposition being met the organization was called rhc Free Thinkers Society"
 In New Britain children in cer- tain grades will be granted an hour off each week for religious instruc- ton under tho auspices or church organizations, such instruction not 10 be given in the school buildings. This point is important, as some cluzens, judging bs comments, pub | lie and private, seem to be under the impression that the instruction is to be given in the schools.
 Such New Britain children whose parents will take, advantage of the opportunity. for religious instruc- ton thus granted cannot lose much in their regular schooling and ought to gain much in moral training, And if there is one thing that is badly needed nowadays, according to the beliefs of many competent 1 observers, it Is a better moral train ing for the young.

HANDLING WEAPONS

In the face of such a fatal shoot ing accident as that which occurred in a West Main street filling station yesterday scarcely anything of mo- ment can be said except once again to call attention to the care neces- sary in handling dangerous weapons where these are regarded as nee ossary part Of the defense equip ment Of an establishment,
 The innumerable times that the newspapers are forced to chronicle shooting accidents due 10 individu- als not knowing gun was loaded indicates the ease with which such mistakes are made; and nothing but extreme care and caution will pre- vent them. In such eases it is not enough 10 think gun is not load cd; if is necessary to know this for an absolute fact and then handle il as if it were filled with destruc- tion.
 The youth who was stricken down by the hand of fate yesterday was regarded as Of physical perfection an unusually striking personality and was 10 graduate from the high school this month. When such ar accident can occur under sucf circumstances 1t is clear that th' most painstaking care IS nccessar! to avoid them.

SENATOR IADD

Senator Edwin r. Lsdd of North Dakota. who died Monday, was a scholar in politics. Although he had been a foremost chemist, college professor, and an expert upon agrl- cultural economics, these achieve ments were thrown into the back ground when he became a '. $. senator and aligned himself with the insurgent bloc. Before reaching the membership of the upper house he had been prominently Identified with the Nonpartisan League in the northwest and had been regarded as one of it's leaders. His death. so closely following that of senator IaTollette, will leave the farm bloc fin Washington minus two of its most important members. Many oh- servers. therefore, will regard the future of the farm bloc as probiem- atical.
 Senator Ladd, born in Maine' was one of those restless New Eng | landers who went west early in lie to assist in opening up a new coun" try and partaking of the opportunl- ties such activities afforded. Had
 he remained in Maine 1t is probable
 he would not have become lnhu'
 enced with the ideas which gave
 birth to the Nonpartisan League o1
 which animated the insurgent Re
 pubIicans. His career, therefore
 might be taken as an example o
 the influence Of environment upot
 thought.

BETTING PARTIES
 NOT so TERRIBLE
At Least That Is Opinion oI
 Judge Ford

New York. June 24 Rl-Hotwith- standing kissing and cocktail parties, young women are just as pure now adays as they were years ago. In the the opinion of John W. Ford, jus tice of the state supreme court and a packer of the Clean Books league. which has been active in seeking legislation for suppression of sala- clous literature.
 He expressed his views in court yesterday in ruling that testimony Of a wife's breakfasts fin negligee with another man and occasional kisses and cocktail parties were not by themselves sufficient evidence of in- fidelity. The dictum was given fin the sensational trial of the suit of Thomas II. SyminRton, wealthy rail- road equipment manufacturer. for 6 divorce. k
 Justice Ford said that many of the things women did nowadays were misconstrued
 "Why even my daughter tells me of cocktail parties" he added. Pointing out a chic young woman he observed:
 There she is. She'll tell you if you ask her"
 His daughter is Mrs. Esther Ford Walt. Spectators in tho crowded court room gazed in amazement.
 "Kissing!" exclaimed Justice Ford. "Kissing-I was going to say pra- miscuous kissing-is not frowned upon these days. Yes, kissing even with another mans wife is no di- vorce evidence. Years ago is young ing the things they are today they would have been ostracized. But that is not true now.
 "In these days a womans course of conduct Is not alont sufficient evil dence for divorce. We old fellows must take into account that customs have changed. I'll admit I'm be- wildered, but women today are just as pure and straight as they were years ago"
 Talbot w. Chambers coal dealer and one of two correspondents named , by Symington, was arraigned yester- day on charges of adultery as the = result of his testimony concerning
 Mrs symington. He pleaded no
 guilty.
 Counsel for the wife gave notic . that he intended to file perjurl charges against Symington.
 Dr. Edward S. Pope testified tha ' Mrs Symington had admitted 10 hin 7 confdentially that she had been un 'i faithful to her husband. V Six of the 19 charges against Mrs '' Symington were withdrawn by tn
 plaintiff. The court indicated that fl / Ii other charges he would direct th J. jury to find in favor of the wife. Tn n r counts concern relations betwee II Mrs. Symington and Maurice Fatit an architect.
 Evidence was introduced tha n Patio had kissed Mrs Symington an n had brcakfasted with her in her bed sS room.
