A reporter who was recently sent to Bedfordshire to investigate the latter problem solves both in the issue of Aug. 20 of The Daily Telegram. He ' visited a farm in Blbbleswade and , found that the poultry there lived, laid j eggs, and raised chickens in the miss- ; ing buses. He thus describes his find- ' , ings: t . "The chickens do not take posses- sion of their homes Just as they come ' off the road. Some of the buses I saw were being stripped of their seats, straps and handrails and engineers were dismantling the engines. They are left with their wheels to enable them to be moved easily about the land* by a tractor. "In the place of the engine a water tank is placed under the bonnet, which feeds a drinking pan beside the bus. Within the bus I saw special trap nests, by which a record of every hen's egg-laying standard can be kept. "It is no Idle joke to say that every fowl there knows her own bus. There are 10,000 of them, all pedigreed birds, and while I was there J. A. Whitehead, the owner, had all the Rhode Island Reds and the White Sussex hens fed together. Hundreds of them scratch- ed and scuttled for the grain, and then brown hens and white ones dispersed in various directions down the avenues of buses until they reached their own particular homes. Mr. Whitehead told me he paid out 5 for each bus." Hungarian aristocrat to enter trade or business, and even becoming a civil servant was more or less a con- cession. But today things have quite changed writes a correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor. The sons and daughters of the highest families are in public service, banks and industry. Countesses and bar- onesses, and their daughters are do- ing applied art wofk, interior decor- ation, fancy leather work, while oth- ers are busy translating novels and general literature. A popular figure iff Budapest society has become a guide for foreign tourists in thrs capi- tal, using his linguistic gifts to great benefit. Though they regret the circumstances which have compelled them to adopt such measures, few of them would say that they are any less happy thereby. Hungarian Aristocrats Enter Business or Trade Budapest The end of the war brought great changes to Hungary. The loss of Transylvania and Slo- vakia, in particular, meant that many of the leading families saw large parts, of their estates pass Into for- eign hands. Their wealth decreas- ed, and in consequence many of the younger members were forced to fend for themselves.

The brooks that cut up and increase the forest. As if they had never known The sun, are roaring with black hol- low voices Betwixt rage and a moan. But still the caravan-hut by the hollies Like a kingfisher gleams between: Round the mossed old hearths of the charcoal-burners First primroses ask to be seen. The charcoal-burners are black, but their linen Blows white on the line; And white the letter the girl Is reading Under that crescent fine; And her brother who hides apart In a thicket, Slowly and surely playing On a whistle an olden nursery melody, Says far more than I am saying.

Modern ditch diggers, or at least some of them, fly to work. Messrs. Claude Grose and Frank Lipka of Mishawaka, em- ployed digging a drainage ditch at Baldwin Lake, fly 25 miles to work. Both are skilled workmen, but had been out of work for several months and took jobs on the drainage ditch aa common laborers. Lipka owns his own plane, an old ship he bought at the South Bend airport three years ago. Grosj has at his dis- posal a newer plane which he keeps at Mishawaka for the owner, a man who lives at Valparaiso, Ind. The planes are stored at Eagle Point, not far from Mishawaka. The men originally flew to work only when their automobiles were not working, or when they were late, but recently they have been making the trip by plane two or three times a week. Both men have private pilot licenses. Sunday School Lesson Our study during the past Quarter has lifted the curtain on the" early years of the Christian Church, and the manner of its growth and expan- sion. It should be our aim in this re- view to fix in the minds of our group the salient factors in that growth, and their relation to 'one another. We should see the outlook of the Christian Church growing from its first narrow Jewish exclusiveness until their con- ceive Christianity as the universal re- ligion. As a means of bringing for- ward this discussion, you might have different members of the class mako short reports on the following topics, or you may lead a discussion following some such sequence as is here sug- gested. 1. The meaning of the Holy Spirit and how his presence was manifested in the work and preaching of the apostles. Note, also, what this experi- ence of the Holy Spirit meant to the Gentile Christians. 2. Persecution resulting in the spread of Christianity. Note especial- ly the scattering of the disciples fol- lowing the death of Stephen with the consequent scattering of the gospel. 3. The contribution of Peter and that of Paul in extending the gospel to the Gentiles. Peter's experience at Joppa, and the conversion of Cornelius will be noted; also Peter's reference to this as the Council at Jerusalem. But observe that Paul was the per- sistent champion of a wider outlook" for the Christianity, and the real leader of its extension to the Gentile 4. The contribution of Barnabas t > the promotion of the early church. Besides recognizing the fine Christian spirit of the man, note how he be- friended Paul from the first, when he was rather in suspicion, and put him in the way of exercising his great powers to the full. Then, of course, he shared splendidly in that first mission- ary journey from Antioch to Werbe. 5. The beginning of foreign mis- sions. The attitude of the Church at Antioch, and its fine spirit in release { ing its ablest men and sending them ! out on this mission to foreign parts <>. The gist of Paul's message, as gatheretl from his own experience and from his preaching, as seen in Act.'. chapter; 13, 14. You would recall here, too the meaning of conversion, as experienced and as preached by Paul. 7. The Judaizing controversy in the early church the attempt to make all Gentiles become Jews, In order to be- come Christians. Observe the reasons for such a contention, and the way it was met. Paul again was the leader against this narrow policy, and re- What New York Is Wearing Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur- nished With Every Pattern BY ANNEBEU.E WORTHINGTON versity teachers, that the average stu- deut of the present generation does not know how to read for himself.

From "The Art of Reading," by Henry Guppy. , Prehistoric Towns Discovered in Alaska Junuau, Alaska Interesting data have been gathered by Dr. Ales A. Hrdlicka, famous anthropologist for the Smithsonian Institution In Wash- ington, D.C. In the vicinity of Kodiak, Dr. Hrdlicka tells of finding relics of pre- historic villages which show Asiatic origin and had been destroyed and revived many times before passing lato oblivion. Dr. Hrdlicka also said that these settlements ante- dated the Russians by several cen- turies. What a Charge! The president of the local gas com- pany was making a stirring address. "Think of the good the gas com- pany has- done," he cried. "If I were permitted a pun, I should say. 'Honor the Light Brigade'." And a customer immediately shout- ed: "Oh. what a charge they mada!" mained the champion of religious liberty. 8. An interesting report might t;e made on the religions of some of the Gentiles of Asia Minor, as, for in- stance, the worship of Jupityr and Mercury at Lystra. Throughout this early glimpse of the Christian Church we see that the Christian gospel is something infinite- ly greater than the men who handled it, with potentialities in it of becoming the world-wide religion of mankind, whch alone can satsfy the life-nee.^s of the human race. Why Not Live 100 Years? Some interesting facts are brought out through the perusal of the Eighth Annual Report of the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics, Ottawa. One of par- ticular interest is the fact that in 1923 there were 79 deaths of reputed Cen- tenarians, 35 of whom were males and 44 females. The ages as given in death certificates ranged from 100 to i 108 years. Karli province of Canada was repre- sented in this loss, Ontario having 28 ' and Manitoba and Alberta two each, | the others being distributed between these figures. That living for a century or over is not so uncommon as may be supposed Is evidenced by the following record of deaths of centenarians during re- cent years in Canada. 192172 deaths. 192263 deaths. 1923 65 deaths. 192439 deaths, (22 males. 17 fe- males, from 100 to 113 years). 192691 deaths, (34 males, 57 fe- males, form 100 to 116 years). 1927 80 deaths, (34 males, 46 fe- males, from 100 to 113 years) . Canadian Grapes Delicious Food Made Delicious Conserves and Desserts During Win- ter Months Reports received by the FruH Branch of the Dominion Government indicate that the Canadian grape crop this year will amount to 32,000 tons of grapes, coming from vine- yards in Ontario and British Colum- bia. As any doctor will say, there Is no wit more healthful than the grape. It contains iron, and eaten raw adds bulk to the d^et. In con- serves, it offers carbohydrates also to the diet, supplying heat and energy. Grapes make wholesome conserves and refreshing beverages.

Out of the Dingy Alleyways Out of the dingy alleyways Like Lazarus he comes A pity to the sumptuous sates, And proffers song for crumbs.

Britain Now Supporting Making of Cheap Jewelry A phase of the British jewelry busi- ness which has developed rapidly dur- ing the last five years is that of the chain stores selling foreign-made imi- tation gems, according to a Depart- ment of Commerce report. Both the number and elaborateness of thesa shops have been steadily increasing and they now practically dominate the field. The first of these chain projects waa that of a British flrm, who about eight years ago instituted the guinea string of artificial pearls. At that time tin trend of fashion was toward a cheap line of pearle. and for a period of yean opened a number of shops. The pearls this firm did a large business and were manufactured in France. With tlie decline in demand for arti- ficial pearls about five years ago, an- other company entered the market selling Czechoslovak and German rings and brooches. Ten shillings was their top price at this time, but as the volume of business increased and their sources of supply became- more efficient, the greater portion of their stock consisted of the five-shilling variety. The shops are located on the street* devoted to the best women's trade and a great deal of attention has been de- voted to the arrangement of window displays and showcases. A Perfect Alibi It was the twentieth time Bill Slug- gers stood in the dock at the local police court. The magistr..

"Not guilty, your worship," he said. "I've a lullaby, too." "Lullaby?" echo -d the magistrate. 'You mean an alibi, I suppose?" Bill shrugged his shovilders.
