Curious Stone Formed
bv Discharge of Lava

Reports from Armenia tell of the
discovery of a strange stone which, 1t
is said, can be nailed like a piece OF
board, sawed with an ordinary saw
and painted any color. This curious
stone, which it is hoped will insure
the economic independence of Ar
menia, has been found in great guam
titles in the vicinity Of the little town
of Artig and has in consequence come
to be called in Armenia artig dufa.
The dufa is light building material,
but it is reported to be tough. and able
to withstand great strains. Heat and
sound penetrate it very little, and the
material is being made to serve equal
~ well as the walls of building or as
the furniture inside 1t.
Discharges of lava from Mount Ara
gatz originated the deposits of dufa,
which are estimated to amount to some
6O,O00,000 cubic metres. The discovery
has aroused great interest In European
scientific circles. The Armenian gov
eminent, as member of the Soviet
union, has sought the opinion of Mos
COW mineralogists as to the uses OF
the dufa.
According to plans announced, the
Soviet governments will erect buildings
constructed of dufa In many of the
principal cities Of the union to adver.
tise the stone.

New York Church Goes
Far Back Into History

The Collegiate church of New York
began its meetings In the Colony In
New Amsterdam In 1926, the cOngre-
cation gathering In the loft over the
horse mill on the site of the present
No. 20 South William street, formerly
Mill street. Its succession Of ministers
has been unbroken since 1923. This
first church edifice, erected in 1888,
stood on the site Of the present Nos.
81 and 80 Pearl. The second, built
in 1912, was the "Church in the Fort, !"
which stood within the stockade of
Fort Amsterdam at the Battery and
was known as the Church of st. Mich
olas. After the passing Of the colony
from the flag Of Holland to that of
Great Britain, n charter was granted
the church in 1886, during the reign of
William and Mary, under the seal Of
the province Of New York and over
the signature Of Governor Fletcher.
When purchased, the present site of
the Marble church was on the out
skirts of the city. Tile building, con-
structed of Hastings marble, was first
called the Fifth Avenue church or the
Twenty-ninth Street church. In 1906
the consistcry officially designated 1t
as the Marble Collegiate church.

Hard to Picture Orient Without the Date Ire

For untold ages the date has been
a staple article Of diet In the Orient.
1t is said that half-pound OF dates
and a half-pint OF milk make a suffl-
cient meal for person of sedentary
habits. The date needs milk to round
out its food balance. An intensely hot
climate and plenty OF water are neces-
sary for the production OF dates. AS
an old Arabian saying goes: "a date
palm must have Its head In fire and
Its feet in water" Some believe thai
when Adam and Eve lived In the Gar
den Of Eden. they subsisted very iarge-
~ upon the date. In fact, that part
OF Mesop0tamia which produces to this
day the best dates Is regarded as the
probable site OF the Garden of Eden
Archeologists. in making excavations
in this region. have uncovered ruins
thousands of years old. among which
have been found broken sculptures Of
the date palm, together With refer.

the jacket of the old shopkeeper still
hung on the wall. Few persons knew
of this remarkable instance of sons

BUYERS OF PROPERTIES
 FREED FROM CITY LIENS
Corporation Counsel Kirkham Rules on Bills For Work Submitted
 By Public Works Dept.

For the guidance of the board Of aldermen in disposing of overdue ac counts for work performed by the department of public works. Corpor- ation Counsel John H. Kirkham has ruled that owners of property at the time the benefit was made, and not subsequent owners, are liable.
 This point has been in dispute at several meetings of the board of ldermen. Several of those to whom bills were sent complained that they had purchased properties believing them to be free of encumbrances and paid for them on that basis. The city had not filed liens and their first knowledge of unpaid assess ments came when the city's bill was received, they said. Under the Kirkham ruling persons who pur- chased realty without assuming the obligation of paying municipal as- sessments will not be required to pay now. ..
 Judge Kirkham also has instruct ed that liens against properties are to be placed 60 days after publica- ton of newspaper notices instead of 50 days after completion, as is. now the practice. .

cized the vast expenditures for the dole, to which he attributed a large measure of the responsibility for the governments budgetary difficulties. Gilbert blamed the government for the failure of the attempt to put unemployment insurance on self supporting basis without govern ment subsidies. and for the constant adoption of new relief measures without adequate consideration of financial consequences.
 Employment Problem
 The former agent general con- cluded that the country had been unable to absorb into useful em- ployment the great postwar in- crease in the working population, including the former members of the army and navy. and many women who previously were not galnfully occupied. and the vast hordes of new laborers yearly coming Of age.
 Although the per capita income of the country rose 15 per cent during the last five years, Gilbert wrote, 1t stlll remains below the pre-War average.
 Gilbert viewed the development of German foreign trade and the bal ancing of exports and imports at a high level as the most promising commercial development" The de cline of imports. he said, was not vet of materials, but reduced imports ot foodstuffs. thanks to improved har- vests during the last two years.

MINNESOTA VOTES
 IN PRIMARY TODAY
SchaIl and ChristianSon Leading
 Senatorial ASpirantS

St. Paul. June Is P-The political futures of Minnesota's two out standing republican leaders were at stake today as party followers reg istered their preferences for nomina- tions for United States senator, gov ernor, and other state and congress sional offices in the biennial primary election.
 The two leaders. Senator Thomas D. Schall and Governor Theodore Christianson, have brought two
 strong elements in the republican
 party into bitter conflict during a campaign in which the two men
 were in agreement on national ques- tions but made up for this peace
 with torrid personal warfare. Ignore Third Man
 Both openly hostile to the Smoot- Hawley tarif bill. and favorable to prohibition and to continued affilia- ton of Minnesota's senators with the independent republican faction, they virtually ignored a third aspirant for the nomination. He is John F. Selb, a late entrant into the race, who campaigned entirely on a platform calling for repeal or modification of l the 18th amendment
 Farmer-Laborites as well as re- publicans voted their choice for
 nominees for the senate, for gover-
 nor. but had fewer other contests 1 between candidates. while demo- crats. who selected their nominees 1 at state convention. had only
 minor contests to settle. | knud Wefald and Ernest Lundeen,
