When the car stopped sliding its two rear wheels rested agalnst the curb anfl Its two fropt ones were on 1lie car track.

The advice was followed,the wheels ceased their mad whirl and the car, under the gentle urge of the hystander, moved away.—Indianapolis News, Cat Took Nap in Limousine. The ecat that looked at a king was only slightly more ambitious than a Hyde Park tabby that took possession of a llmousine standing by the curb, rema the Chicago Post. The eat, a hmlxu:lml stray, was pussyfooting through the rain of one of the recent cold days, evidently in search of a comforfable place .for a map.

Traditional Welsh music has found a place in the services of the Itoman Catholic cathedral at Westminster. The attention of Dr. R. D. Terry, the organist of the cathedral, was drawn to the tunes some years ago by David Lloyd George, At service of benedic- tion recently the “O Salutaris hostia” and the “Tantum ergo” were both sung to ancient Welsh melodies. The tune used for the latter is one of the prime minister's favorites. “These old tunes have been wonder- fully preserved." Doctor Terry told a Londop Daily Mall reporter. “Many of them date from the pre-Reforma- tion period. For centuries they were not written down, but they were saved by the Welsh genius for unaccom- panied sioging. They were handed : down from one generation to another. “Many-of them have been recovered and published In Welsh hymnals, but unhappily in too many cases their harmonies ‘and even their melodies were revised in accordance with the musical ideals of the Iast century. “It Is still possible, however, to hear them sung in all the beauty of their orlglml form in remote Welsh siclans of today are realizing how very much more beautiful these old versions aré, "Dr. Walford Davies, a Welshman who is now proféssor’ of music at the University of Wales, may be trusted to see that good care Is taken of them.” THOUGHT NOT REALLY RAPID Mind Moves Comparatively Slowly,.
