"A certain citizen in South
rginia in trying to rid
his town of the promiscuous
spitters wrote the following lin
es that are very expressive.
who is the fellow that spits
all around, splits all around;
Splits all about, spits on the
floor, splits on the wall;
The fool that does not think

When you first &C into the
new Post office you almost for
get where you are, everything
looks so new and pretty, but
while in doubt as to where you
are just turn an dlook into eth
er corner and see where some
one has spit all over the walls
and behind the radiators and
you will then know that you are
in Clintwood.
Why is it that some persons
in Clintwood cant quit splitting
all over everything. They spit
on the walls, in corners and ev-
erywhere they go, they spit.
Now there are some of us who
do not spit all about, and we are
very anxious to keep our new
buildings clean and new looking
and free from spit.
Other town all over our coun-
try are forcing persons who are
Prcmiscuous spitters atas stop
splitting in public buildings. Per
sons who can not read the large
sign in regard to splitting in the
Post Office and respect these
signs should not go in. Persons
can be fined for splitting in pub
lie places.
Mrs. Damron has been in the
new building only about two
months and if this splitting on
the walls is not stopped, what
will this new and modern build
ing look like within year. We
gre very proud of our new build
-ings, and we want to do what
we can to keep them clean and
new.
Older persons who see child
rem standing or pulling on the
lower ledge of the new mahog-
any fixtures in the Post Office
should caution them about the
damage they are doing to the
building by soaring it up.
Persons who are not going to
spit in public buildings should
spit on a piece of paper in the
middle of the floor where it can
be cleaned out easily and never
under any circumstances spit
behind the adiator where it can
not be cleaned out, and where it
soon dries and is then flying
through the air a menace to all.
We want a clean town and
clean buildings and we are 90
ing to try to stop some of the
spitters who are splitting all ov-
er our town and in our buildings
Those who have to spit should
step to tfG gutter and spit in it
where it will soon be washed a.
way. Never under any condition
should one spit on the walls or
on the streets.
Spittum often contains dang
erous germs, and persons STEP
ping into it may carry these
germs into their homes and ca
use a great deal of sickness.
We need to get up a little
more pep in regard to our pub
lie buildings and show our town
pride by letting every one know
that he or she is expected to re-
spect these buildings and above
all, not to spit in any of them.

Rome Held NOisiest
OF Worlds Big Cities

Rome is the noisiest city in the
world, according to its own newspa-
pers, which, led by the Giornale
d'Italia, beg Gov. Prince Potenziani
to end this undesirable condition. The
paper has been holding kind of SYM
postum among its readers and the
opinion of many travelled Italians is
that, with the possible exception OF
Constantinople. Rome is the noisiest
of all cities. Senator Luigi Luigi, re-
turned from trip to New York, Paris
and London. states that these large
cities are very much quieter than Rome.
The reason for the noisinesS here de-
pends on several things, one of which
is the narrow central streets. The
unnecessary use of auto horns and
klaxons is another. The Roman chauf
feur sounds his horn as often and as
loudly as possible. He seems to do 1t as
much out of pure joy of living as to
warn pedestrians. Open exhausts, though
nominally forbidden, are another fruit
full supply of noise. The authorities
have promised to intervene. but 1t Is
a little doubtful if they will ever sue
ceed. The liberty to make noise Is an
old central and southern Italian tradi-
tion. and indeed, for the strong-nerved
Roman, noise Is almost form Of So
cial entertainment.

rians disagreed. Or. rather, they thought
the price too high.
Twice a parliamentary majority re-
jected the revised prayer book solution
offered by the church assembly. On
the first defeat the old Archbishop OF
Canterbury wept; on the second he re-
signed.
In his stead now comes his brother
Scot OF York, the Junior of the two
English archbishops, cold, serene,
watchful, imperturbable figure, with
his legal detachment. his profound
sense of the unimportance of the in
dividual and the Importance of the in
stitution, his historical sense of the
littlenesS of one generations life meas
ured against the long, broad stream
of the life of the church, fed by the
deep need in civilized men for a re-
ligion which provides code of con-
duct for everyday life and the hope Of
immortality.
DR.. Lang Is IS years younger than
the man he succeeds. Nevertheless,
with his domelike head, surrounded by
fringe of white hair, he looks almost
patriarchal.
His energy is immense. He can work
18 hours day without showing signs
of fatigue and sleep at any time. He
has IlOL spent udy III Ocu III Ills lllc /,
he was 60 before he knew what taking
ones temperature meant.
A great intellectual, brilliant
scholar who has received the doctorates
of many universities at home and
abroad, he has been as close a friend
of the last three sovereignS--Queen
Victoria, King Edward VII and King
George Vas the retiring prelate.
Careers Are Different.
But the careers of the two men have
been along different lines, although the
same august influence has played its
part in both. DR.. Davidson was only
three years curate before he became
an archbishop's private secretary and
chaplain, and so began his majestic
progress through prelates' palaces and
royal courts which carried him to the
| highest ONCE in the church.
Lang, on the other hand, has ranged
over the whole field of ecclesiastical
training-as parish priest in great In
dustrial centArs. as tutor specially
concerned with the character Of young
men at oxford University, as bishop

tanned two weaknesses-it did not afford
scope for his driving constructive ener-
gieS and 1t was remote from the life
of the court. The Queen never came
to Oxford
Queen Victoria, submitting reluctant
ly to the will of her great ministers in
the sphere of civil government. insisted
upon putting her spoke into the wheel
of ecclesiastical affairs. With her
trusty Scottish chaplain and adviser
Randall Davidson, by her side she even
chose her Archbishop of Canterbury
an appointment which properly lies
with the premier.
When, therefore, Lang moved on to
the crowded seaport parish of Portsea
the change might not look like promo
ton, but it was splendid base for a
further advance in the hierarchy of the
church. A vast urban parish. with
Is curates and a number of mission
churches, 1t gave him scope. Also it
brought him alongside the rnasterful
Queen.
Every Summer, after the London sea-
son and the royal courts, the old
Queen would repair to her little palace
fore going north to her Scottish seat
Balmoral. Portsea is on the mainland.
The vicar Of Portsea got a summons to
preach before the Queen at Osborne.
Queen Approved Of Him.
One may imagine that the sermon he
took across the blue strip of water was
prepared with especial tact and care.
The Queen listened to the handsome
keen-eyed vicar and approved of him.
He looked well. He was eloquent, yet
simple, never straining the royal intelli-
gence. And he had the same Oxford
Scottish intonation as her beloved
Davidson and the same deferential
courtliness. She appointed him one of
her chaplains. He became her friend.
Meantime. he became famous as a
preacher and divine who could exert
great influence upon the people. He
established boys clubs, put a curate at
the head of each and had the boys
taught to take up sports on a competi-
tive basis. He built central institute
for his many organizations and gave In

over the country. His Sunday meet

Virginia are cooperating with

Studies for the regional plan include

selection of certain park projects the
carrying out of which is believed to be
essential to proper development of

An even more urgent need is felt
relative to the regional park projects,
since the suburbs of Washington have
