have taught them discipline, without which no man can succeed in either business or private life. They have been taugnt precision, in thought and in action. They have been taught to obey that they may command. They have been stabilized, as it were; have been given a grip on the fundamental things of life, and have been set with both feet literally and figuratively, on the ground. They have been built in body and in sould. "We average from 8 to 12 cadets per season in the various camps, and would like to send more. We have never yet had a boy return to say he was sorry he went. Hubert Hendricks, one of our office boys, chose a regular vacation instead of camp last year and now says he wishes he had taken camp instead —the regular vacation was ‘too tame.’ All of our boys speak most enthusiastically of physical development, knowledge of citizenship and American history and standards as an outstanding purpose of camp instruction—and of course the levelying experience of bieng with hundreds of boys from all walks of life. Added to this is their knowledge that they can gfve a better account of themselves in case of emergency.’’ o—, Underwater Terror* The average weight of the American submarines ranges from GOO to 900 tons. The thickness of the sides is from one-quarter of an inch to onehalf an inch, depending upon the type of submarine.

BRITISH BISHOP AROUSES STORM BY WEDDING BAN London, Feb. 23—(J.W—By announcing u ban on marrying divorced, and unbaptised persons, Dr. M. B. Furst. Bishop of St. Albans, has stirred up a hornets’ nest about his ears. High authorities on law and ecclesiastical canon law have declared that Dr Furse's ban la illegal. In an adnress in connection with the instituting of a new clergyman, Dr. Purse declared: "I have given Instructions to the clergy in this diocese that so far as I am concerned they are mt to marry people in church who haw not been baptised. I have been criticized and called a narrowminded eceestiastic, and have been told I ought to be stopped. Well stop me. 1 am going on until 1 am stopped “It is a challenge today that wo can do without God. and then people want to make a convenience of the church. I say 1 will not be a part to it. and I say that the clergy are not to marry people who have been divorced. "1 am not going to be a party, if I can help it, to anyone being married by church service who has been divorced. “I am not going to make the word of God a blasphemous farce. No man has a right to ask a bishop to be a party to any such disgusting and gross actyef blasphemy. If you don't like it, go to a register office and say ‘I will take you until you make life absolutely impossible, than I will be done with you-’ That is the hottest thing to do.” Immediately his statement appeared In the press there was a chorus of protest on the part of other clergymen. "This instruction of Dr. Furse as to unbaptized persons is clearly illegal,” declared one high authority on eclesias tic law. “That relating to divorced persons is misleading and dangerous." According to (’anno Donaldson of Westminster Abbey: “A clergyman

Nowadays... you press a button OR PERHAPS a switch, or some little gadjet, and a lot of things happen around a home that lighten labor and banish trouble. A WHIRLING fan brings a cooling breeze, and a little copper, dish-like affair throws out a sizzling blast that warms the room in no time. ANOTHER button boils coffee, toasts bread and cooks waffles. Another does a better job than a broom. Another makes a happy laundress out of a dismal washwoman. Another one cools the ice-box. Another—but why go on? LABOR and time savings devices have come and are today within the reach of the humblest home. AND one of the chief reasons why they have come and why they are within the reach of the humblest home is the power of advertising. ADVERTISING has carried the news of these better ways of doing things to every home. It has created a desire to possess them, and countless thousands have purchased them, and live better because of them. READING advertising not only tells you about new, helnful mechanical devices for the home, but it is an unfailing guide to reliable products. ■ • Read advertising regularly. It points the way to better living. Decatur Daily Democrat
