ond session Of its type since he as

ducing additional revenue for the

Gated by the state treasurer to the

increase in present revenue, Was also
recommended by the super
tee.

committee Of faction leaders that they
recommend seat tax at theatres.
and outlined various proposals for
taxes on hard liquors. No definite
action was taken by the committee on
the latter two proposals. fractional

sired to confer with their followers in
caucus before pledging themselves.
They had been asked by Brostuen
to join In solid front In support Of
the two major proposals to obtain

London, Feb. 16.-Restoration oi
confidence-by peaceful or foroeful
methods-in order to restore pros

single purpose Of the Anglo French
Italian accords.
Now the focus OF European diplom-
acy, the accordS were originally con-
ceived by Prime Minister J. Ramsay
Macdonald and Foreign Secretary Sir
John Simon.
They had one single all-important
purpose for planning these pacts-to
bring about q revival Of economic
prosperity, in order to make Great
Britain's traditional position In world
affairs secure once more, by . re-
storation Of confidence on the con-
tinent.
II Germany enters the scheme Ia

euce-restoring plan win take the
peaceful road. II Germany chooses
to keep aloof. Britain. France and
Italy will form q powerful combina-
ton Of armed forces to assure peace
until normal trade makes the police
mans club unnecessary.
This Is the authoritative explana.
ton Of the new European security
system now being pushed In the many
capitals Of Europe.
Only IN Idea Dec. -
It was first revealed Dec. - that
such . SYSTEM Of pacts was contem-
plated. They were just an idea then:
now the full story has been uncov-
cred.
Late in 1882 Macdonald first con-
ceived the five-power declaration
which was eventually adopted. grant
ing to Germany q sort Of equality in
principle. This declaration was am
biguously interpreted In various capt.
tails and 30 never became the effec-
tive instrument Of peace that Mac
Donald hoped It would be.
Since then he and Simon have
striven Tor something which would
have power In it. something which
would bring about confidence.
They also faced the problem Of
getting full French and italian CO.
operation. An abrupt British plan
would not win those countries over,
the British felt. and % It was made
to appear that France and Italy
would start the ball rolling. with Bril-

Celebrate Birthday of
Oldest Sunday School

The worlds oldest--and largest
-Sunda. school has Just celebrated
its one hundredth and fiftieth ami
veTsary.
This is Stockport Sunday school,
which has been carried on continu-
ously since the seyenteen-elghtles,
and In the same building since 1905.
II was founded by the MethodIsts,
but was nonsectarian, and hundreds
of thousands OF youngsters have
been taught In II. At one time its
membership was over 5000: even
today II is over 5000.
But Stockport, though It may claim
10 possess the oldest Sunday school
still functionlng today, wasn't quite
the first In the field. That honor
belongs to Gloucester. where. three
or four years before the Stockport
venture was launched. the first mod
ern Sunday school was inaugurated
by Robert Raikes. a printer. and
Rev. Thomas Stock. Reading and
writing were taught along with the
Bible in the early years OF the
scheme, and the first teachers were
paid.
Before that both Luther and John
Knox had made experiments with
Sunday schools. but the real begin
ming of the great movement which
we know today was the Gloucester
experiment OF Ralkes and Stock
London Answers.
