SEEN
BY LINDSAY IN
CHURCH RITES

SPOKANE, Wash. up = American
church-goers dance and recite poetry
without knowing it, believes vachel
Lindsay, American poet.
This view he puts forth by defining
dancing as rhythmic motion" and
by classifying certain books of the
Bible as poetry. Thus he finds that
religious services are full of both
dancing and poetry.
'"The Episopalian and Roman Cath
olic church services" he says, "are
really dancing dignified, stately
graceful movements in unison. The
revival and the camp meeting are
the other extremes"
Shakespeare, the Salvation Army
and the Indian used similar principles
ir play acting and worshipping, he
holds.
"If Shakespeare were acted correct
ly the whole audience in theatre
would be swaying unconsciouSly in
rhythm while the actor recited his
lines"

King George REEVES
Order Of St. atriick

LONDON, July 2. (P-The Order of
st. Patrick, conferred by King George
on the Prince of Wales, ranks third
in the British orders of knighthood.
It is preceded only by the orders of
the Garter and the Thistle, which
orders the prince already holds.
George III founded the order in
1888 "as a measure calculated to con-
vey to his Irish subjects the sense the
king entertainS of the present re-
spectacle situation of that kingdom. y
This is the first bestowal of the order
since 1922. 1t was then believed that
owing to the changed status of Ire
land the order would be allowed to
die out. There are now besides the
prince, II Knights of st. Patrick.
With the exception of the royal
family, the knights must be Irish
peers.
The ribbon of st. Patrick is sky
blue, and replica of the star of the
order is worn as a badge in the caps
of the Irish Guards, one of the crack
foot regiments usually quartered in
London, where they assist in guard
ing Buckingham and other royal
palaces.

Gases such as oxygen or nitrogen, OF

from radium salts, are introduced
into the seats of disease and are
said to afford immediate and per-
