Attend Church by Law.

Golfers, picnickers, Sunday autoists
would be out of luck II an old English
law were in force today. The act Of
uniformity, 1852, required:
All persons, except those dissenting
from the worship or doctrines Of the
Church of England and usually attend
ing some place of worship not belong
ing to the Church of England. are, If
they have no lawful or reasonable ex-
cuse for absence, to endeavor to at
tend their parish church or accustomed
chapel, or, II reasonably prevented from
so doing, some other place where the
divine service of the Church Of Eng
land is performed, on all Sundays and
other days ordained and used to be
kept as holy days, and to abide there
orderly and soberly during the time OF
common prayer, preaching or other
divine service there performed.
Failure to observe this law renders
the offending "parishioner or inhabit-
ant of a parish" who is not legally ex-
empt from attendance at divine service
on Sundays and holy days ''liable IN
proceedings taken against him In the
ecclesiastical courts to be censured for
the offense, admonished as to its at
tendance in the future, and to be con
demned in the costs Of the proceed
ings."

JUSTICES TEACH
SERVICE LESSON
Three Supreme Court Jurists,
Past Retirement Age,
Still Carrying On.
BY WILLIAM H. DOHERTY,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

Young men who aspire to quick
wealth so they may retire at an early
age and enjoy the fruits of their labors
may obtain q lesson in service from
three men on the Government pay roll.
all over 70 years of age, who need only
say the word to be retired at their pres
ent salaries of $4,000 year.
The three are Associate Justices
Holmes, Van Devanter and Brandets OF
the United States Supreme Court.
Holding appointments for life. appar-
ently all intend to die in harness, so
absorbed are they in the work OF the
Nations highest bench, for there is no
indication that any of them Is even
considering retirement from his ire
Quently arduous position.
Chief Justice Taft passed his seven
tieth birthday nearly two years ago, but
fails by reason of another restriction To
qualify for full-pay retirement. Ten
wears continuous service as a Federal
Judge is required preceding the seven
tieth birthday. so the head of the bench
will not be eligible until July Z. 1881,
the tenth anniversary OF his appoint
ment.
Every Chief Justice since John Mar
shall to Taft has died in office, proving
their appreciation of the position. and
of these only Salmon P. Chase failed
to reach the age of 10. The longevity
apparently guaranteed to all VINO
achieve the eminence is shown by the
fact that the 10 Chief Justices in the
history Of the court have averaged IA
years in that post.
Search of the records discloSes that
the instances also are few of associate
justices relinquishing their positions
while their health remained, and only
two ex-justices now are living. They
are Charles Evans Hughes, who resigned
to run for the presidency against Wood
row Wilson, and John H. Clarke. APP
pointed to succeed Hughes, who re-
signed in 1922 to devote his efforts to
the Non-Partisan Association for the
League of Nations.

ORDER ALLOWS ELECTRIC
COMPANY TO CONTINUE
Judge Amends Restraint So It Will
Not Interfere With Ordinary
Business.

The ordinary operations Of the busi-
ness Of the Penn Improvement and Elec-
trio Co., at oil Seventh street are not
affected by the temporary restraining
order granted by Justice Alfred A.
Wheat at the request of William H.
Smith, who claimed that Simon 8.
Freedman, his wife, Selma, and his
brother. Isaac J. Freedman, had formed
the company and transferred certain
assets in an alleged effort to prevent
Smith from collecting a Judgment for
81 900 damages awarded him in the
Municipal Court against Simon s.
Freedman.
At the request Of counsel for the cor
poration Justice Wheat yesterday modi-
fed the temporary restraining order to
show that nothing in the order shall in
terfere with the ordinary operations of
the company. Abner Siegel, attorney for
Smith, consented to the modification of
the order Of the court.

that jurist in numerous important dis

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. Louis Z. Bisch-

VNFIE spinal cord Is that por-
1 ton Of the nervous system
which runs from the base Of
the brain downward within the
spinal canal Of the bony spinal
column. It is about Is inches
long. At the end 1t forms q
tail-like structure known as the
"canda equina" or horses tail.
While In the brain the nerve
cells or grey matter" are on
the outside and the nerve
strands on the inside, In the
cord the relationship between
grey nerve cells and white
nerve fibreS Is reversed, the
grey matter being on the in
side and arranged In the shape
Of the capital letter HI"
The cord is protected, as Is
the brain, by the three cover
ings, the dura mater, the pia
mater and the arachnoid.
The spinal column is flexible
and composed Of q series Of
bones called vertebrate which
are set one on top Of another
with q paid of cartilage In be-
tween each one. These pads.
are protective in nature and
help to lessen shocks. to the
bony column sustained In
jumping. injuries. etc. The
bones are 80 IN number.
1t IS interesting that during
q waking day, the pressure OF
the head, etc, causes these
cartilage pads become some
what compressed and smaller.
At night, therefore, q person is
from 8 quarter to q half inch
shorter than In the morning.
Likewise, the spinal column Is
not straight but curved. This
Is also to prevent shock to the
delicate nerve structures which
run through the holes Of the
vertebrae and constitute the
spinal cord.
The spinal vertebrae are ar
ranged In such Q way that
there Is an aperture present on
each side where one bone rests
upon another.
1t Is through these that the
spinal nerves pass to the arms,
legs and various parts Of the
body.
There are 81 pairs Of these
spinal nerves and each nerve
has two roots, one Of which
transmits sensations and the
other motion.
Impulses from the outside
world on the skin or impulses
from the body may pass through
one Of these SellSory roots llp
the spinal cord to the brain,
then down again from the
brain, through the cord, through
another root to the hand or
foot or some other part.
If you put your hand on q
warm radiator and your brain
tells you that It would be I'M
wise to hold it there too long.
you win withdraw the hand
and the mechanism win have
been set to work as outlined.
If. however, you place your
hand accidentally on q very
hot radiator you viii withdraw
it instantly. This means that
the brain does not tell you to
take the hand away. The nerve
impulse simply went into the
cord at one root, the seHisory,
and out at another. the motor,
in the quickest possible space
Of time. To be sure the brain
realized what you were doing.
