Vice Admiral Sir Davin Beaty, Commander of the first British cruiser squadron, whose ships defeated the Germans in the North Sea, has made a stirring appeal for a. great religious revival in England as a necessary step to victory in the war. In a letter read at the boc iety for the Propogation of Christian Knowledge he writes: "Surely Almighty God does not in tend this war to be just a hideous frucuB or a bloody drunken orgy There must bo a purpose in it; im provement must come of it. "In what direction? Franco has al ready shown us the way and has ris en out of her ruined cities with a re vival of religion that is wonderful 'Russia has been welded into a whole and religion plays a part. England Still remains to be taken out of the stupor of selfusntisfaction nr.d com placency into which her flourishing condition has steeped her. Until sue can be stirred out of this condition, until a religious revival takes place, just so long will the war continue. "When she can look on the future with humbler eyes and a prayer on nor lips, then we can begin to count the days toward the end. Your society is helping to this end and so is helping to bring the war to a successful end. 1 AN. ODORLESS TOILET BOWL Don't think a toilet bowl is sanitary because it looks white.

There Is a cupola at the top of that building. Rising from that cupola is un Iron rod with a huge grasshopper on it for a weather vane. And there Is an interesting story con nected with that grasshopper. It Is this: One day, more than 30o years ago, a mother lu England bad tin in fant, a few months old, which she wanted to get rid of.

Toomey, who lives at One Hundred and Seventy-eightt Street and South ern Boulevard, has ib&en employed by the pork delpartment fifteen years.

Huxley once wondered whether he was a deist an atheist, an agnostic, a pantheist, a materialist or a skeptic, an idealist, a Christian, an liitidel or a freethinker. And the more he reflect ed the deeper his problem. What an swer will liny one make? Dr. James C. Eernald in his work "Synonyms and Antonyms" defines each according to his own belief, as follows: "The deist admits the existence of God, but denies that the Christian Scriptures are a revelation from Illm. The atheist denies that there is a God. The agnostic denies either that we do know or that we can know whether there Is a Ood. The skeptic doubts di vine revelation. "The infidel is nu opprobrious term that might once nlmost have been said to bo geographical lu Its range. The crusaders called nil Mohnmmedaus in fidels mid were so called by them in return. The word is commonly applied to any decided opponent of an accept ed religion. "A freethinker Is Inclined or addict ed to freo thinking, especially one who rejects authority or inspiration in re ligion. A materialist takes Interest only in the material or bodily necessi ties and comforts of life. A pantheist accepts the doctrine of pantheism. An idealist idealizes or seeks an Ideal or Ideal conditions. A Christian Is one whoso profession and life conform to the teaching and example of Christ "Pantheism is the doctrine that God and the universe are Identical. It con trasts with atheism as tho positive de ntal iinil with agnosticism us the dog matic doubt of the existence of God. It opposes thnt form of deism which denies the divine immanence and sep arates God from the world." Keeping a Lamp Clean. Once In two mouths I separate the wicks from the burners and boll them In soda water. In about ten or fifteen minutes I take them out and clean them with an old toothbrush, rinse and dry. I lay the wicks straight to keep their shape. They will be white and pliable. Then fill the lamps with suds (not too hot) and let stand awhile un til all dlscolorlngs have vanished. Drain, wipe out and reUll with kero sene, adding a teaspoonfu! of salt to each lamp. Lumps treated this way give a beautiful bright light and there is no fear of an explosion.
