Charleston, 8. C., Oct. 28.—A prac- tical planto persuade members to at- tend church services and suppor church work: hgs been found here in | the insurance”plan put into opera- tion by Rev. A. E. Cornish, rector of St. John’s Episcopal mission. In- the two months the plan, whereby the church insured its mem- bers, has been-in operation, the mem- bership of the church has increased to such an extent that plans are on foot to raise a $50,000 rund for buila- ing a larger church. Early last summer Rev. Cornish found the members falling into apathy. Attendance was falling off and the vestry was becoming alarmed at what seemed to be a sure slow death for the parish. . The pastor hit upon the idea that to induce mem- bers to take an interest in the church he would have to give them some- thing to do. Calling_his leading members into council with him, he laid before them the plan to tax each working man and woman in the parish one day’s wages a month. All others should pay $1 a month each, it was decided. With this fund he proposed to pay benefits to the sick, the poor and needy and to relatives of members who died. The scheme was declared workable and put into operation. During the first month 54 members subscribed. In the second month the subscriptions had mounted enoriously until now Rev. Cornish declares interest - in church work and social services are at the highest point. R Members over 70 years old get pen- sions of $2 a week. Those ill re- ceive $5 a week. Relatives of dead members are given $100 each. Interest is such that now Rev: Cornish has undertaken . to obtain the church building fund by selling 1000 $50 bonds payable in cash or in installments. Other plans including a nursery have been proposed by women members. sANANAS MAKE BERLIN GLAD After Five Years' Absence, This Na- tive of the Tropics Is Real Symbol of Peace. As I was passing down the Fried- richstrasse, says a correspondent of the London Times, writing from Berlin, my eye was caught by a crowd of people which suddenly collected in front of a delicatessen shop. : It was only with difficulty that one could get near enough to see what ft was that attracted so much attentlon. I heard exclamations of wonder and admiration, .and on_ looking a' little more closely saw—a bunch of bananas which thie shopkeeper had just hung up in the window and which was a novelty to the Berliners, who for near- ly five years have seen not a trace of this fruit, once so plentiful and cheap in the capital. The smiling faces and little jokes made it quite evident that the banana was recognized as a symbol of peace,, and that the delight felt at- its presence was due to the evidence it afforded that the blockade is a thing of the past. - Holding Down a Profession. A young fellow living in one of In- diana’s small towns was graduated from the high school and looked about for some easy, yet lucrative profession. He finally decided te study medicine, and settled down in the office of the town’s most popular doctor for a sum- mer's reading. As he read he watched this busy man’s hours of work. One day in the late summer the doc- tor came in out of a drenching rain, tired out, and a trifle cross. Glancing at the immaculate young fellow, whose heels were reposing on the office desk, he asked brusquely : “Still think you want to be a doc- tor?” . “Ye-es,” came the languid answer, “but I've decided to practice only on fair days, and not go out of nights.

An overseas dispatch says 200 young maples have been planted on the des- ert of what was Vimy Ridge. This iz the beginking of the proposed Cana- dian wmemorial forest—the maple f= CGanada's emblematic tree—and tha saplings just placed are declared to be the only living trees in the war zone today. How the landscape has been changed and how the reconstructed . one will differ from that before the war! Most Americans think of Hol- land, Belgium, Flanders as painted by Van Goyen, Ruyysdael, Rembrandt and others. Instinétively the mental picture follows Hobbema’s “Avenue of Middleharnis,” with spindling, thin- shanked, wisp-topped and scant-on- shade trees either side the road. What a different aspect maples would give the scene, or oaks, or elms or other wide-spreading varieties. The Euro- pean, like the oriental, seems to have chosen his favorite trees on some . other basis than expansive follage— the cedar, the cypress, the palm, the “stonepine, the poplar of Lombardy; .yet. the inspiration for Gothic cathe- drals came from the solemn groves of archlike trunks and limbs and fo- liage, and wherever two elms meet there is the suggestion right at hand. Many years must elapse before the war-torn regions are agaln venerable with trees, and by that time a new school of landscape painting may have come, glad to paint full, rounded trees like the American, Inness; or, revers- ing the Inness method, of leaving a eircular opening through his trees to reveal the scene beyond, this future pchool may feature the transplanted maple’s rounded ‘“area” in the fore- ground ‘while displaying the European background on either side. i Some Airplane Gas Is Pink. " There is a difference between auto- mobile gasoline and airplane gasoline. For aircraft the gas must be lighter and more volatile, that is, evaporate more readily, than ordinary gas. This causes it to work better at great alti- tudes. There are three grades of gas- oline for our airplanes, one for train- ing planes, a better grade of gasoline for bombing planes and the very best grade for the fighting planes. “Fight- Ing gas” as It Is called, is colored pink. This is to distinguish it from other grades so that inexperienced men working at the aviation flelds will not use this valuable gasoline for other purposes. This pink gas is as pure as it can be produced, refined and doubly refined and strained or filtered until there are no impurities left in it.—American Boy.
