Of the church on January 2 last and

The design is an adaptation of
French Norman architecture by the
architect, Joseph Younger. The builder
Is James L. Parsons, jr
The tower is about 80 feet in height.
The exterior is constructed of rubble
stone. with facing and trim of Indiana
limestone and polished granite. I'M
pre$Sive walnut doors open into the
ves.ibule of paneled walnut, beyond
which the narthex extends in paneling
Of the same wood.
Entering the nave, the general i'm
preston is one Of space and light. Win
dOuis Of imported cathedral glass give
constant sunlight. All the interior walls
are Of Briar Hill stone and stucco. The
height of the nave is enhanced by
sweeping truss beams supporting roof
Of carved cypress.
The architect has concentrated in
terest OIL the chancel wall, the feature
of which is great inset arch, decorated
with an illuminated mosaic window
The chancel wall is Briar Hill stone,
and the window in the peredos in har-
monious colors SO lighted as to focus

illuminated window as the central dec
orative note is unique in local church
architecture.

ADVERTISING PLANES

The latest tomfoolery down in New York has to do with airplanes used for advertising purposes.
 Folks gather by the thousands to listen to a symphony concert at the Stadium. While the violins are whis- pering and the woodwnd sighs overhead drones a plane, it's occu- pants trying to tell the assembled throng that they ought to use Dr. Ducker's Calcium Toothpaste if they want to preserve their molars.
 Downtown audiences go into the theaters to be amused, entertained or instructed. Above Broadway air planes cavort, making noise like the Los Angeles and being equipped with megaphones to enable the cloud bankers to bring their message down to the crowds. The noise fre- quently is so terrific that the audi ences have begun to complain to the theater managers, who are advised to shoot down the airplanes if Con- missioner Whalen doesn't do some thing about it.
 These advertising planes are clear-cut nuisance. Their use is folly gone crazy.

THE GOVERNORS AND
 PROHIBITION

Although it was something of surprise to the country to read what George W. Wickersham, chairman of the Presidents prohibition com mittee, had to offer to the governors at New London regarding means to accomplish enforcement, there can be little surprise registered at the views of Governor Ritchie Of Mary land
 Governor Ritchie is of the Al Smith school on prohibition He stands four-square on states rights to regulate the problem. It is a viewpoint which, after all. 15,000,- 900 people voted for during the last election despite the hectic religious issue that vas injected into the cam paign, an issue that no doubt caused many a Protestant modificationist 10 vote with the winning ticket.
 Whereas MT Wickersham favors the states enforcing the law while the federal government looked after the manufacture and importation of rum, the Maryland governor re mains an emphatic exponent Of let ting the states attend 10 their own internal business,
 Both plans would restore 10 the states some of the rights which were taken from them by the 18th amendment Considering that before the amendment was adopted 32 states had voted dry, return to states rights-either on the WiCkrr- sham or Ritchie plan-youId leave 1 6 either moist or wet; for it is un- reasonable to believe that a thor oughly wet state, left 10 it's own de vices in enforcing the 18th amend ment, would exercise extraordinary energy in the effort.
 prohobitionists, obviously would oppose any such change, They can not sincerely accept the Wickersham plan and they naturally are dead set against the Ritchie plan.

 Edmonton is as far north as James Bay. or the southern part of Labrador. It is the most northerly city of consequence on the Amer- can continent.

THE LOCAL ISSUE EVERYWHERE

Growers of citrus fruits want duty on bananas so that the public will be discouraged from eating bananas and switch to citrus fruits.
 Dairymen in the West, particular ly in Wisconsin and the Northwest, want the duty on milk and cream increased so that New England can- not import these products from Quebec; and so New England will be forced to import more milk and cream from Wisconsin and the Northwest, paying higher prices plus long distance transportation.
 Sugar producers-beet sugar in- ~terests--want higher duty on cane sugar so that the people will be forced 10 buy more beet sugar and at a higher price.
 Boot and shoe manufacturers want tariff on boots and shoes, but no tariff on hides; so that they can get higher price for boots and shoes and pay no more for hides.
 Western stock raisers want a duty on boots and shoes, so that they can force the boot and shoe manufacturers 10 use more Amer ican hides and pay more for the en- forced privilege.
 Silk manufacturers want an in- creased duty on rayon. so as to raise the price on rayon products, which competes with silk products,
 Rayon manufacturers want no in- creased duty on rayon. so that they can compete with the silk manu- lecturers.
 Western farmers want higher du- ties on farm products, so that the American public may be prevented from eating farm products from such other countries as may be able to export a little 10 this country. The farmers, on the other hand op- pose increased duties on manufac- tured products, so that whatever ad- vantage they may obtain from an increased duty on farm products may not be counterbalanced by higher prices for what they buy.
 Manufacturers on the whole favoi increased duties on what they pro- duce and are not interested in in creased duties on farm products. so that better prices for manufactured products may serve the manufac- turing regions; which will be even better served with "cheap food' If there is no increased duties in farm products
 And so il goes. The tariff remains the leading local issue. Everybody in every section wants 10 obtain an advantage over everybody in every other section.
