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.

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.

There Is one smart Chinaman stay
ing now perforce In northern Mexico
who, but for a slight error, would be
enjoying a residence In the United
State*. 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

A STORY WITH A
MORAL
S ?' 'V ... ' ' . ? .* ?/. ? .
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.
