 Funeral Chapel Noted
 for Popular Weddings

GLENDALE, Cal. Nov. 19. P)-A tiny church in a cemetery. built to serve as a funeral chapel, has be- come one of the Southern Califor- nia's leading matrimonial altars. It is known as the Little Church of the Flowers" There is no pastor or congregation.
 Upwards of 175 couples already have been welded there this year and several christenings also are on record. The chapel is patterned after the noted church of St. Giles, at Stoke Poges, England, from whose burial ground the poet Gray drew the inspiration for his "Elegy."

New Armenia Arising From Death, Poverty
 and Rank Diseases

ERVIAN, Armenia, Nov. 19. P)- Dreary and monotonous Armenia has blossomed out like a tropical South American state. The little Asiatic country which is squeezed in between Turkey, Persia and Soviet Russia, seems at last to have it's own place in the sun.
 Free from Turkish massacres and continual incursions, the people are devoting themselves steadily to ag- riculture and industrial pursuits. Thru irrigation and intensive me- thods of cultivation great waste spaces have been transformed into fertile areas covered with farm lands, vineyards and vegetation.

EDUCATION IN CREDIT

The buying public is in need of
more specific education in the mean
ing and use of credit and in the
prompt observance OF the terms on
which credit Is secured. Especially
is this true of the class of credit rep
resented in charge accounts in retail
establishments. Less than so per cent
settle these accounts in the 30 days
allowed, not because they are dis
honest, but because they have not In
formed themselves on their obligations
in the matter.
The merchants also are at fault. In
the stress Of modern competition they
have become lax in insisting upon q
close observation Of the terms on
which charge accounts are opened
This tends to lead otherwise prompt
paying customers into bad habits, ex
pensive to merchants and customers
alike.
Retail credit men are giving this
question serious consideration in the
hope of arriving at some plan by
which the public may be brought to
a realization of the seriousness of the
question.
This is commendable-nay, a
necessary-move. The proper use OF
credit is the backbone of modern bust
ness. A backbone, to be OF value,
must be rigid.
Palisadian., 1925-10-16
PEACE, IN THE HEART

Too many men come home from the
spiritual boiler factory which is their
office to a home where there Is no
rest and no peace.
Too many carry the nervous tension
of their business to a place OF nerv-
GUS tension which they call home.
There are so-called homes where
every mole hill is mountain, every
teapot tempest and where there Is
an unceasing, restless search for ami
nation and sensation, inaccurately
called pleasure.
Men go from the dangling telephone
bells of their shops and offices to the
whining radios of their homes.
At night, to get away from one kind
of misery they seek another They
leave the radio for the saxophone.
DR.. Stephen K. Mahon, able pastor
of a great mid-westeern church, says
people are so busy hunting the saxo-
phone pleasures of life they have no
time, energy or enthusiasm left for
the cultivation of life's higher, finer
values.
A life with all the higher values un-
known or neglected is not worth liv-
ing. Better a dreamless. futureless
sleep with the grass above ones ever
lasting grave waving in the summer
sunlight.
Home, above all, is meant to be a
place of peace. 1t is to be the cool,
well-ordered fortress within which ev.
cry workingman is privileged to come
at the close of day.
If you make your daily contribution
of earnest effort to the world in which
you are put, If you do the thing that
comes to your hand as well as you
can, you have an inalienable right to
the peace of home.
Happy is the man whose home is so
ordered by expert hands that it is a
place of peace.
Happy is the man who escapes the
fatal habit of nervous tension in his
daily work. Happier yet is the man
who escapes 1t in that sweet shelter
which is home.
Flowers grow best in sun-riched soil
with now and then soft rains.
They do not grow when circus is
encamped above.
