SAYS IVY HURTS BUILDINGS English Architect Advisee Its Removal Frptn the Historic Structures of Oxford University. ^ Ivy, a picturesque adjunct to the lanscape lit/ covering old buildings and which hasWeu so greatly admired by American visitors to tlie historic , towns of England, \ls doomed. It is asserted that not only la the Ivy highly In jurtouB to the bulUjIhga which are covered by the vine, but that, lu son t s ol casks It destroys mere beauty than It create* by obscuring examples of flue ojd a rchitecture. In Oxford. es pecially during the last few years, many of the old college structures which have been covered for griuw atlous with masses of the glossy green j leaves have been entirely denuded | of evqry vestige of Ivy aud the work ! Is still going on. Edward Warren, an English archi tect, In writing of the architectural Improvement to elfl buildings by re- ' moving the Ivy covering, admits In j ?the London Times that he has been j responsible for the removal of a largo amount of Ivy from Oxford walls. J "I am its declared enemy," ho say?. "It should be permitted to grow upon no walls but those of uninhabited and uninteresting ruins, or the rough walls of flolda or gardens. Ivy Is a terribly Insidious foe to architecture, Its acid secretions destroy. the mortar of the Joints, reducing It incohoslve sand, It* fibers nnd ft? tendrils push their wuy between the Joints, Its clinging brandies grow and swell in every available hollow and crevice, bursting ancient moldings and shat tering carvings, penetrating thick walls If glveu time, lifting copings and parapets, and stealthily and steadily disintegrating the work of man's hands, while it smothers Its pro portions and It* beauties. HOLD FIRMLY TO BELIEFS ' .w- ? ' Mennonites Stress Biblical Stories Which Other Chrietlane Regard With Some Lightness. The advent of the Meimoislt.es to America Came about when William Penu had been granted land for Ids Quaker followers. He was told of (tfennonites who had fled from Oer many to Holland and his Quakers oatna to their aid. The Quakers are credited with helping them financially in colonizing parts of Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Later, colonics were established In Saskatchewan and other parts of Canada. A peculiar custom of these people la the washing of feet. Th%v say that the command of Ohrist to the woman to wash Ills feet stands on the same spiritual level as Ills acts of dlstrlb i Utlng food and drink to the hungry and thirsty. To the Mennonltes the story related by St. Luke is as impor tant as the ones other Christians re gard, Including the sacrament and coramiftiton. , Community property Is another Mennonlte belief, \^a I though It Is not general. The members of the sect co operate In building roads, school houses and churches. One of the largest migrations of Christian people of modern history Is that of about 200,000 Mennonltes, 50, O0O families, from Canada to Mexico, 'Which will begin soon. They claim unjust treatment In Canada during the World war. The Mennonltes re fuse to enter anj war. Overdid the Fart.

Arrested for attempting to en ter illegally via the Mexican border, he tried to palm himself off before the court, according to United States Com missioner A. J. W. Schmld at El Paso, Tex., as au old resident of Seattle, So well had he been coached In the part that the federal attorneys could pick no flaw in his apparent knowledge of Seattle, naniea and places. In desper ation, the prosecution finally asked If he had ever known Julius Caesar up there. Yes, the Chinaman had heard of him often. Did he remember Mark Antony, and how he acted as state's witness at the trial of Caesar's mur derers? Yes, he remembered Anthony well, and the murder, too, Hnd was only a little boxy in ids mind about the trial.. Ten minutes later 1ih was on a Mexican bound trolley. ?

' ' . ? .* ?/. ? . bn January 18th, 1897 George Jones, of San Jose California borrowed one hundred dollars from Henry R. Stuart. For tfclfl loan h? agreed to pay interest at the rate of ten per cent compounded monhly. Jones did not pay, and Stuart sued him for the money. On March 1st, 1922 the California court granted a judg ment against Jones for $304,840,832,912,685.16. The story of this one hundred dollars should be pasted on the purse of every man, woman and child in the United States. This money multiplied itself over three hundred million times in twenty -five years. Not every hundred dollars which one saves will prove to be worth as much as this, but fevery penny used for sensible purchases rather than for extravagant whims will some day mean much to the person who saves thereby and sends this penny along with many others out to work at interest.
