h%weever, that this very popularity wee
apt to be a danger unless there was
wise control and guidance of all these
beneficial activities. Too muck pa
ternallism had the tendency, always to
weaken the moral fibre and make peo-

eaple depend on organization and gov-
ernment instead of working and creat-
ing ideal conditions for themselves. The
highest joy cane from self -effort and
achievement. He commended the
great work of the Fresh Air Funds and.
advocated that attention be given to
fruit -picking and vegetable -growing,
thus combining the pleasurable outing
with personal and community profit.

which is expected to be the most pow-

half long and half .a mile wide, and
will be supported by twelve masts of
800 tons each and 820 feet high. Each
mast will be fitted with an elevator
capable of carrying four men.
Sections of the mast are now in
1 course of transport to Hillmorton:
They are so large that they can be
moved only at night and on Sunday
when there is little or.no traffic.
It is understood that it is with this
station that the American Telephone

trans-Atlantic telephone communica-
tion by radio, as announced exclusive-
ly by the Foreign Affairs News Ser-
vice on August 14. With tblephonic

connections may be made with land
lines.
Style Threatens to Extinguish
Hair Net Business
The growing popularity of bobbed
hair in Europe and North America
threatens with extinction one of
China's important manufacturing pur
suits.
Ever since the 1911 revolution in
China decreed the cutting off of queues
and flooded the market with human
hair, the manufacture of hair nets
has been an industry of increasing im-
portance in China. The industry had
developed so rapidly during the last
few years that it aggregated' $10,000,-
000 in annual exports. But now, ac-
cording to the report of .the United
States Dept. of Commerce office in
Shanghai and Peking, this trade has
been seriously affected by the changed
customs of the_. girls and women
abroad.
Bobbed heads do not require hair
nets in nearly as many cases as coif-
fures for long hair and the makers of
hair nets are in despair lest the
"Greenwich Village" style become uni-
versal.

A Great Cathedral. .
A religious edifice remarkable for
size and beauty has 'recently been con-
secreted In Liverpop,in the presence
of the I{lag and Queen. -It stands on
an elevation, St. James`s Mount, and
hen completed will dominate the city
when completed will dominate the city
usual beauty of proportion.
The Liverpool cathedral is original
in design. It draws its inspiration
both from the pointed or Got le—and
from the classical style. It is unmis-
takably Gothic in structural character
and is •detail, but its proportions are
so far, accordant with the classical
that the building, although it is as
lofty as any Gothic church, has a
breadth and solidity that make the
'height far less striking than that of
the older Englieh cathedrals.
It has been a great many years
since so large and beautiful a church
was built in England—almost' three
centuries in fact, for the Liverpool
church is larger than St. Paul's, larger
than York Minster, larger indeed than
any other Christian church except St.
Peter's at Rome and the cathedral at
Seville. In design it follows the early
rather than the late Gothic, It is almost'
Norman in the proportion between
stone work and window space in
walls and in the massive, almost cas-
tellated; root lines; but the interior is.
extremely rich, and the architect has
made use of vaulting and carving that
are of the neost highly developed
period. ature of about 50 degrees, and then
