Old Churches Put to Variety of Purpose* The oldest English social hiLtflution Is the parish vestry. It Is a descend ant of I lie trlbnl council of most prim itive human establishment, combined with the nearly as old Institution of religion. This body of persons In trusted with (lie administration of the temporal affairs of a parish was so called from the former custom of holding parish meetings In tho vestry of the church. In undent England vestries regulated all parochial affairs, ecclesiastical or civil. Indeed, the parish church of (he Fourteenth eon tury was the common hall, sometimes; the common market place and theater of its district. When the Most and portable altar were removed the church would he employed for all pur poses. A landowner who found he had more wool or grain than he could take care of on Ids own premises could store It, In the church simply by paying a small fee to the parson. Even I lie tower of the church was used. Especially In (lie more excised districts near the sen, It was n place of refuge, the ensile of the Inhabi tants. —Detroit News. Anti' Fire Brigade Who are the tire fighters of the In sect world? Tests carried, out by a French wom an scientist, Mine. Marguerite Combes, have proved that red ants organize themselves into lire brigades nnd are able to extinguish flame by the appli cation of formic acid. When Mine. Combes placed n light ed cigarette on an ant bill, the nlarm was given Immediately, nnd the Insect firemen set about their task success fully. The experiment was repeated several times with (lie same result, and a lighted taper was also extin guished. Finally a lighted candle was used, and this was put out In nbout a minute. When ants were In danger of burn ing, they were dragged to safety by their companions. Duties of Party “Whips” Party whips are of recent Introduc tion Into the congress of the United States.

Forbidden Fun A Chinese boy of fourteen, accord ing to the North China Herald, was Involved In an automobile accident, witnessed the death of a pedestrian during a police battle with kidnap ers, and was himself kidnaped and held for two hours. He was on his way to school when all this happened and, arriving finally, he apologized to the teacher for being tardy. Like any normal boy, he realised that under no circumstances should mere adventures and pleasure inter fere with his education. Hard to Find , He was very old. but passionately attached to the royal and ancient game. The more he played, however, the more inaccurate became his strokes, and his play generally was worse and worse as time went on. Finally, after missing the ball 18 times in succession on one occasion, ite turned to the patient caddie and ■ •'marked: ‘Dear, dear I I suppose there can’t tie any worse players than myself.” “Well,” returned the caddie consol ingly, “Ihere may be worse players, but, of course, they don’t play." Odd Divorce Customs Found Among Malay* There Is n peculiar Muluy tribe In Sumatra, numbering only a few hun dred persons, who spend their entire lives on the water, a small.beat being their lifelong home. The,stern of the craft has the rudest kind of a shelter, while amidships there Is an arrange ment of stone on which a tiro Is built. Forward there are baskets and other means of carrying llsh and other com modities which these persons gnther and trade. They have no laws or or ganization, but they hnve rather defi nite Ideas of marriage and divorce. The lovelorn man, meeting the girl of Ids choice, asks her parents. If found to he agreeable the youth has to pay down 12 Dutch dollars (equal to RO guilders); that Is, if he Is able Vo. But he also may purchase on the Install ment (dan and make time payments. But In tills case he cannot get a di vorce unless the full amount Is paid to the wife. The pair then go through a ceremony. If the husband wants n divorce, then he loses the 30 guilders paid, hut if the wife wants to get di vorced, then she must pay 120 guild ers to the husband, which she will he able to do only In the rarest cases. If the man gets his divorce, then he may decide whether the children must go with him or whether they may re main with the mother; If the wife ob tains a divorce and has paid the 120 guilders, then the children may choose for themselves.
