Old English Cathedrals
MAGNIFICENT Structures

The medieval cathedrals OF Eng
land are among the most magnifi-
cent in Europe. and among the
best preserved and most important
architecturally Many of them, says
a writer in the New York Herald
Tribune, while adhering to general
Gothic principles, are distinctive in
style and preserve some of the best
examples of early English architec-
ture.
One need not be a student of
architecture or a devout churchman
to appreciate the beauty of these
ancient monuments to mans faith
and art and skill. In their majesty
they dominate many of the cities
of England.
One of the cathedrals is Canter-
bury, the Metropolitan Church of
England. Canterbury itself is an in
teresting old city in the County of
Kent.
The cathedral is on the site of the
church built there by st. Augustine
in 6O3. The present building was in
process of construction from the
Eleventh to the Fifteenth century.

They talked, then, of the riding
academy and the progress that had
been made. After supper Jim sat,
for time, on the veranda with
Macpherson. When he rose to leave
it was getting dark. Twilight came
early now that autumn was ap-
preaching, autumn with lingering
breath of summer in the still, mel
low air.
Jim walked back to his car
parked in the drive. He must not
forget to take Mr.. Vaughn's parcel
t. the express-office in the morning.
Passing the kitchen porch he heard
Susan talking to Rose and glanced
up. One crystal star shone in the
darkening sky. Tomorrow would be
fair. Fine weather for the wedding.
He'd like to see Cecily in her brides

He set his car in motion. AS he
drove past the house he saw a soli-
tary figure pacing back and forth
across the terrace. Tommy? No
Jeremy Clyde. His gait appeared
to be steady. If he meant to carry
out his threat of getting tight, Jim
thought with fleeting amusement. it
was obvious that he had not yet

tie hoarsely.
who is it?" Jim answered, not
yet fully awake.
Words came to him which, for a
moment, had no meaning or impor-
tance. ''Smash-up side-road-
hurry?" Jim shifted his position in
the chair. His hand struck glass
on the table beside him, knocked it
to the floor. The sharp thin sound
of breaking glass brought him to
full consciousness. He sat erect,
blinking in the subdued light of the
shaded lamp on the table.
What had reused him? He'd
thought he had heard someone call
ing, banging at the door. Dream
ing, probably. He must have gone
to sleep while he was reading. A
magazine lay where it had fallen on
the floor at the side of the chair.
What time was it? He glanced at
his watch. Only little past mid
night. He couldn't have slept long.
Strange how real that dream had
seemed. Was it dream? He pulled
himself up from the chair, crossed
the room, opened the door.
No one was there. Puzzled, not
yet convinced of the reality of the
voice which had called, Jim walked
out into the drive. The night air,
cool and crisp, blew away the last
blurring cobWebs of sleep. Some
one had knocked at the door.
Someone, man. had called.
"Smash-up-the side road!" Jim,
keen enough now. sprinted through
shadows to the fence that closed in
the stable yard at the rear of the
grounds. From there, lookin
across meadows, he was able to see
the side road which joined the
Cherry Hollow road scant quar-.
ter of a mile beyond the riding
academy.
The side road had a dirt surface
It was one of the many winding by.
ways used by horseback riders, mar.
row, thinly wooded. Through a
fringe of trees Jim saw, in the clear
starlight, two discs of light, OBJ
viously the headlights of a car.
People parked in the side road,
sometimes, kids from the village,
young people looking for privacy ir
romantic surroundings.
Jim had seen headlights IN the
side road on fine evenings before
Tn. position of these particular
headlights, however, caused him tc
give a sharp exclamation. They
were not in horizontal alignment
Even at this distance he could see
that one was higher than the 9th
er, as though one side of the cal
had gone off the road into a ditch
Convinced, at last, that something
was wrong, Jim vaulted the fence
and set off, running, in the direction
of the lights.

to the present and future needs OF
the county will be inaugurated at

as outlined by Hanrahan, county

HOW TO AVOID
COLDS IS TOLD
BY DOCTOR

"TO cure colds one must de-
pend upon hygienic measures
rather than medicines; and to
prevent colds, keep away from
people who have them"
These instructions were issued
by DR.. William DeKleine, medi-
cal director of the American Red
Cross, who today urged everyone
to observe hygienic principles
during the next few months
when the open season" on colds
is due.
Program Suggested
Asserting that common sense
treatment is still the most ef-
fective combatant in the annual
fight against colds, DR.. DeKleine
suggested the following program
of care to be followed during the
remainder Of the winter season
/. Follow a moderate diet which
includes milk, fruits and vege-
tables. Eat meats sparingly.
2. Stay out-of-doors summer
and winter alike at least part of
every day. Undue exposure, how
ever, should be avoided during an
attack.
3. Sufficient sleep and rest are
all-important. If down with a
cold, stay home and, If possible,
stay in bed.
4. Overheated living quarters
are a menace to health. This
weakens resistance and contrib
utes to many serious lung infec-
tions. Seventy degrees is warm
enough.
Care in Dress
5. Dress according to the sea-
son and the temperature in
which you live and work.
6. Cleanliness is an important
protective measure against colds.
This means clean food and water,
clean eating utensils, clean
homes, and physical cleanliness,
both internal and external.
Z. Daily exercise, preferably
out-of doors, can not be omitted.
It should be regular and moder-
ate, rather than spaSmodic and
too vigorous.

obtained the convictions Of four
colored youths alleged to have
smashed several crates Of milk bot

New Year Eve celebration.
Since 1918, when the United
States Court Of Appeals reversed
the decision of the lower court in
the case Of several women Suffra-
gettes, the law had been believed
unconstitutional. McGrath, how.
ever, discovered the higher court

law, but confined itself to ruling

suffragette case had been improp.

Police officials were jubilant
over today's ruling which was
made by Police Court Judge Wal

that the law would prove of
value in the handling Of unruly
crowds which ordinarily would be
charged with disorderly conduct,

lighter penalty than that provided
