Commercial St. OPEN DAY AND NIGHT Vicar Rocks Baby's Cradle Observing Ancient Custom MANSFIELD, Eng., Mar 7 When the Rev. J. Lowndes, the bachelor vicar of BHd worth, near here, rocked a baby's cradle in his church on a recent Sunday it was not In an effort to stop the baby's cry, but the carrying out of a custom which has been ob served for nearly 700 years. ", From the thirteenth century it has been a rule I that the most recently born baby in the parish should be taken to church on the Sunday nearest Candlemas and dedicate, to God. On Saturday night the child is baptized, next day it Is again taken to the sanc tuary and placed in a tiny cradle inside the altar rails. The vicar then dedicates the child to God and rocks the cradle. The ceremony is intended to symbolize the Biblical story of the presentation of the Child Christ in the temple. The cjradle in Blldworth church was draped with linen and bedecked with ' a mass of flowers. At the head of the cradle were placed two ' lighted candles and two acolytes stood near with lighted tapers. ' In the olden 'bays the parishioners used to parade the village streets car rying the child, but that part of the ceremony 'is now omitted. Kentucky Election Cases Fourth Murder Trial Set . JACKSON, Ky.l Mar. 7- The fourth trial in the series of Clay hole cases," as the murder indict ments ; against 13 men for the election day shooting of 1921 are known, has been set for March 25 before Judge D. W. Gardner. One of the first trials resulted in conviction of one member of the Republican group of defen dants. William Barnett, whose two-year prison sentence will ex pire this spring, while two trials of the Democratic group resulted in a disagreement of the jury and a conviction was reversed on ap peal. The shooting resulted in four deaths and 17 wounded. It fol lowed the invasion of one party stronghold by members of another party, on election morning. ; All concerned in the shooting signed a petition to the -county judge and commonwealth's at torney that they: "failed to see where any good can result in liti gation over the matter" and ask ed the county officials to "let by gones be bygones," The prosecu tion, however, was soon begun. The three trials so far have been held in Boyd county, on changes of venue from .Breathitt county, the scene "of, the shoot ing. ' ; j .Y" :; The approaching trial will be with other members of the Rep ublican group-as defendants. They, accused of the murder of the three Democrats slain, demanded sep arate trials.

"and the big estates and ancestral castles which were a feature of my younger days must gradually disappear . -in Virtue - of - the death duties as they are now assessed. The landlordBTlghts are being curtailed every day, but neverthe less I cannot help but think that I have lived during the most pros perous time of. this, old country of ours. , Possibly we won't miss the old castles, after all." . r- British Labor Party Mixes Dramatics and Propaganda .

The I proponents of the child,- laDor amendment argue that, states have changed before and been recorded according to their latest decision. Congress, In submitting the propbsed amendment to the states, did not fix any time .limit within which they must act as it did In the prohibition amendment, the eighteenth. In that case congress required action within six years. But in the case of the child labor amendment there is no such 1im4 Itatjon and, the supporters of the change conted that the amendment canine made effective any time 36 states ratify lt. - T '- , - Ancient Gate of Thunder God Will Be Rebuilt by Japanese ; TOKIOti Mar :7 Kaminarimon, or Gate of the Thunder God. one of , the , sights ot ancient Yedo, destroyed .by; fire some 70 years ago.
