% SEES IN BUILDINGS “SIN OF UGLINESS" Many Church Edifices “Un- sightly,” “Grotesque,” “Mis- fits,” M. E. Bishop Says. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, April 25.—Bishop Joseph F. Berry of the Methodist Episcopal Church. in a criticism pub- lished in an ecclesiastic paper, fairly castigates church buildings for the “unsightly,” “atro- misfits” are a few of descriptive phrases v church clous” and Bishop Berry's which he heaps on present-d architecture. He defends his accusa tion on the ground of many years' careful observation of ecclesiastic bullding and his dedication of more than 300 Methodist Episcopal churches during his tenure of office. “No other class of public or private buildings has heen bungled so gener ally,” the bishop says of churches. Mo further adds the sin of erectin Wwhat he terms ‘square, overgrown dry goods boxes™ has not been con- fined to any section, but extends from Maine to California, although being worst in the Middle and Far West, because those territories are newer and less conservative. “Everything has been sacrificed to obtain the maximum seating capacit at the minimum cost. The architec tural misfits are by no means con fined to the West and South; we have them in the East. Now to my simple mind the ideal school of church ar chitecture is the Gothic. Its lines are always simple, chaste and satis- fying. The suggestion is one of wor ship.” Stresses His Point. The senfor bishop stresses this point. Tt is the purpose of a church, he sz to express religious impulses outside as well as afford a_place for their ex- pression_inside. “The character of a church building is so closely related to the possibilities of spiritual work which should be done within its sacred walls that to make a failure out of a church buflding is an act that comes very near to being a crime. Because a building is of low cost is no rea- son why itsh ould be ugly. Thc blun ders made by building committees within_my knowledge make me al most_shudder.” Bishop Berry especlally employment of the best drawing the plans seem expensive,” b plans are more so." urges the architect in bod plans may vs, “but poor What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE.

HONOLULU, April 5.—Believing that March 17 was the best day in the ear for blrthday celebrations, no matter in whose honor, a young Trishman, nearly 100 years ago, drift- «d to the Hawaiian Islands and upset the records of local history. Only re- cently was the error discovered by the Daughters and Sons of Halvalian Warriors, who have set the matter straight. . The wandering Irishman became the hoon companion of the King of Ha- ii, Kamehameha III, and learned 5 his distress that the king was in the habit of celebrating his birthday n the day he was born, August 11. ie explained to the king why this should not be, and advanced colorful arguments for a change to March 17. The friendly king consented, and kept up the practice as long as he lived. Preparing a set of tableaux for presentation next June, to honor King Kamehameha, the Sons and Daugh- ters found conflicting records; some forth he was born August 11 and others March' 17. Archives finally fived the date as in August, and then some oldtimers came forward with he story of the roving admirer of St. fatricly essive efforts along the lines | h a satis- | in order | Mrs. Akeley Obtains Rare Specimens in Course of Hard Journey. Covers Trackless Area With Only Native Guides As Company. Mrs. Delia J. Akeley is the first white woman to attempt to cross the heart of Africa unaccompanicd by a white man. Her ‘sole com- panions are native guides. She has just completed a journay up the Tana River and across the Somali desert. The inaccessibility of the region she traversed, its unhealth- Julness and the hostility of the na- tive tribes make it the only part of British Bast Africa untouched. By Cable to The Star and North American Newspaper Allianca, BY MRS. DELIA J. AKELEY KISUMI, Uganda, East Africa, April —My start across the Somali Desert was made quietly and in ad- vance of my schedule. The Somalls had murdered a white British official a few days before and I recelved word that the authorities intended to pre- vent my leaving. But I got off before the word came. The district I crossed was under military rule. Because of the warlike nature of the natives, its labyrinth nature and the tropical diseases that Jurk in its fastnesses, the section is the only part of British East Africa that is still in its original primitive state. e Obtained Rare Skins. T have been able to coilect some rare animal skins. Unfortunately several fine skins were lost on the Tana River, owing to constant drenching by rain ahd the carelessness of the canoemen. Among them were a Peterso, an ant-bear, a porcupine and my prize specimen, my one and only Kudu, a species of brillfantly colored gazelle, which went overboard with the men when a glant lizard dropped from a tree and took possession of the boat. I saw only two Kudu on the whole trip, so my feelings can be un- derstood. My feelings were partly soothed, however, when I managed to capture and bottle several specimens of the hairless mole. These will be sent to the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and clences and will be, I believe, the first specimens to reach America. There are only a few specimens in Europe. Reword for Mole. I worked with my boys day affer day without success until I finally offered a reward of 10 shillings for them. Then a little Somall boy sut over a hole the better part of a day before he finally speared two. Appar ently they never come above the sur- face of the ground.

They exca- vate and ventilate by cutting a round hole at the surface. This hole is about the size of a half dollar when finished and, regardless of the loose sand, it is a perfect circle and rarely varies in circumference. Throw Up Loose Sand. Through this little opening they throw up the loose sand and earth with their tiny feet, which have stiff hairs sticking out from each toe. They work with lightning-like rapid- ity and when their feet are actually in action it looks like a miniature vol- cano in eruption. Strange to say, the sand is thrown up in such a way that a cone-shaped pile, a foot or more high, is formed around the hole. These strange little animals are perfectly at home in the water. One of those brough tin was alive. I put it in a pafl of water, where it swam about and rested on the bottom for over two hours without any slgns of those brought in was alive.

I am also sending a few curlos and a bun dle of polsoned spearheads and ar- rows, mostly gifts from the natives.

From there I shall either cut across to the rail- way or come out by way of the Niger River. (Copyrizht, 1925. in United States. Canada and Great Bri ¥ North American News- paper Alliance.

LOSES FIGHT FOR LAND. Maryland Man Encroached, Court Holds in Suit Against State. Special Dispatch to The Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., April 25— Judge Albert A. Doub today dismissed the petition of Dr. John A. Watson, Piney Grove, this county, against the Maryland State Roads Commission to prevent the removal of certain build- ings, fencing and trees along the Wat- son property which borders on the National highway. ‘The petition was filed after em- ployes of the State Roads Commission had’removed fencing put up by Wat- son along the road. Watson claimed he owned the tract. His predecessors in ownership had fenced the land, ‘Watson®declared, but the county finds he has encroached on the original 66 feet owned by the State. The court presumes the old road must have been located and designed in 1812 of a width sufficient to take care of the immense traffic. The court also held that the land dedicated to the public use was presumed to vest in the pub- lic, and where adjoining property own- ers trespassed or attempted to inclose any part of such land, the statutes constituted such sets 'as mere nui- sances. which never by lapse of time ripen into a private right as against public necessities.

Clark, 118 REINDEER OFFERS NEWKIND OFNEAT Steaks and Chops of Alaska Animals Popular in New York. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 13 —Alaska has its eye on the gradual falling off in American beef production, and aspires to develop an equivalent of the once famous Texas steer in its own Arctic reindeer. Charles De Witt Brower, a New Yorker who has lived 41 years in Alaska, told a gathering at the City Club recently that New York City was already taking 150,000 pounds of reindeer beef a year, and predicted by the end of 1925 it would consume 375,000 pounds. What Mr. Brower called a defl- nitely established beef industry in the North rested, he said, upon herds of 300,000 beef-bred reindeer which fatten in a great grass triangle as as Texas, whose apex is Polnt , 200 miles north of the Arctic v 1940 he expected 4,000,000 Nome was the packing house center, and so far the meat output was only about large enough to meet the do- mestic demand, according to Mr. Brower. However, the nucleus of a future export business was provided in the growing New York trade, and refrigerator boats _were bringing beeves direct to the Hudson River by way of Seattle and the Panama Canal. Dogs Used on Sleighs. The reindeer, Santa Claus to the contrary, had become synonymous with steaks and chops in the North country rather than sleigh bells, said Mr. Brower. Sledging there was now done exclusively by dogs, which could traverse stretches reindeer could not. Beef possibilities of the reindeer were first discovered when Dr. Shel- don Lewis, a missionary, imported them from Siberia to succor the Eski- mo, who were threatened with starva- tion by extinction of game animals. The present herds have been bred up from the 1,200 original animals brough over Bering Sea between 1892 and 1902. Reindeer calfskin furnishes what Mr. Brower said was the warmest fur for its weight in the world, spe- cially favored for clothing by Eskimo and Chuckchees, inhabitants and ex- plorers. Alaskan calves, however, were too valuable as beef, and Alaska is arranging to buy skins from the Russion Soviet in Siberla, where there is at present an oversupply of reindeer meat. PROBATION REVOKED, YOUTH TO SERVE 3 YEARS Wallace L. Batchellor to Be Sent to Penitentiary—Others Sen- tenced by Judge Siddons.
