United States, the Right Reverend George Washington Doane, A.D., Bishop of New Jersey front 1832 to 1859. Readers of these articles tray remember that to an- other bishop of that branch of the Church Catholic, Arthur Cleveland Coxe, Bishop, of New York, we are indebted' for "`Saviour, sprinkle many nations," one of the finest of all mis- sionary hymns, as well as for that popular carol: "Carol, carol Chris- tians." Another U.S: Bishop, Phill- ips Brooks of. Massachusetts wrote `"O Little Town of Bethlehem," Bishop Doane wrote many hymns which are well known, as for instance, "Thou are the way, to Thee alone," which some people, think stands first among hymns written in the United States,' "'Softly, now the light of day," "Lord, should we leave Thy hallowed feet," "To Thee, 0 Lord with dawn- ing light," "Young and happy while thou art," etc." "],fling out the banner," one of ,his later compositions, was written at his residence Riverside for the Second Sunday in Advent, 1848, which was Missionary Sunday in his diocese that Year. 7t was taken up quickly by several of the Protestant denomina- tions, and wedded to a stirring tune "Waltham" by Jean l3aptiste Calkin, became. .as popular for missionary meeting as "Froin Greenland's icy mountains," by Bishop Heber, or as "Saviour sprinkle many nations." No'r is its use confined to such meetings. It is often sung as a general hymn at church services of a revivalistic tendency and it ha's a special signifi- cance to British people,; whose nation- al flag is made up of three forms of the cross of the Crucified. It would be au " admirable hymn to be sting at the unfurling , of our flag over new, nor newly, settled territory. And well, would. it be for the race, if all who live in security ander its protection always realized their duty to set for- ward by their lives and words, their faith in, and love for, "Our only hope, the Crucified! The "result upon our young, aspiring Canadian nationality might be incalculably, for good if this hymn were sung in every school in the land, every time the Union Jack was either used or referred to. George Washington Doane was born at Trenton, New Jersey, U.S.A., in May 1799. , His higher education he received at TJnion College, Schen- eclady, New York. in 1821, while slightly under the canonical age of twenty-three, he was on account of his talents and ability ordained to the office of Assistant Minister at Trinity Church, New York city. From thence' however he was removed three years later to become a professor at trinity College, Hartford, Conn. In 1828 while only twenty-nine years old he became rector of Trinity Church, Boston, afterwards made famous by the personality of Phillips Brooks. His rectorate there was memorable for under his ministerial guidance the parish increased greatly in numbers and in influence. So . prominent did Mr, Doane be- come in the church councils, and so distinguished were his abilities that in 1832 lie was elected Bishop of New Jersey. His episcopate was some- what troubled by 'financial and fac- tional worries. He . founded .St. Mary's Hall, Burlington, and Burling- ton College for young women, the other for young men, and their in- stitution and maintenance , pulled heavily upon his time, patience and financ?s. There were difficulties a- bout investments and collections, and like all other energetic men who do important things, he, found enemies to oppose and hinder his work, even lo bringing him to trial before the courtswhere he readily obtained ac- quittal. His eldest son left him for the Romanists and became a bishop THE FO D CA F T L SYSTEM A—Filler. Cap. B -Filter spout screen filters gas and prevents splashing through filler opening. C --Gas guage.

Gravity flow does away with forced feed. A short feed line with a mini- naum of elbows and connections is easy to service and eliminates approximately 100 parts required by the vacuum tank or fuel pump system. The nine gallon tank is so placed that it is well protected from front or rear end collision. Any overflow rims off on the ground with no serious results, since the only point of possible spark contact is the rear end of the exhaust. Three screens instead of one, as in most fuel systems, prevent foreign matter reaching the tank, A solid steel dash sec. crates the Ford gas tank from the engine. The gas guage on the dash of the Ford car is controlled by, a simple float as shown in diagram, being more direct, simple and accurate than any other type. Another point of driving convenience made possible by the gravity flow system is the ease with which the tank may be filled, while the driver supervises the operation without moving from behind the wheel.

Bishop Doane was a poet of much ability, and his "Works" published in four volumes,b yhis son the reverend Bishop of Albany, the year after his death, had a good curculation and found a place in most public libraries. In 1824 the Bishop published a little volume of poetry entitled "Songs by the Way," which is now rare and val- uable financially. It contained sev- eral of his hymns, and was issued again and again in enlarged editions, the last of these that of 1875, (six- teen sixteen years after his death) containing some poems of a private, others of inferior character which he, himself, would never have allowed to get in- to print. MODERN, REFRIGERATION a capacity of four cubic feet for food storage, selling at the lowest price in Frigidaire history seems destined to become the most popular model yet introduced.. Although production has been increased twice in the past four weeks, the factories are thousands of orders behind on this particular mod- el and the demand is increasing steadily. "The average user will put more things in an electric refrigerator than she will in an ice box. For this rea- son we have felt that a cabinet with a storage compartment of five cubic feet was the smallest we should build for general use. But there has been a long and insistent demand for a smaller household model, which we have been forced to supply with a four .chic foot cabinet. This is a beautiful unit, equipped with the cold control, self-sealing ice trays, and crher exclusive features• which have helped to make Frigidaire the choice. cf the majority In refrigerating re- sults it equals any o€ our highest priced models." Two outstanding features of the month were the marked increase in sales of household equipment and the increase in the number of installa- tions made through power and Iight companies. Frigidaire Corporation recently began the policy of slipping its smaller household units complete- ly assembled, ready to plug into an electric outlet. As a result, power companies are increasing theit retail sales of the corporation's products. Although operating at 20 per cent. above their maximum rated capacity, plants of the Frigidaire Corporation are running behind orders, and sales for the year to date have far exceed- ed all previous records, according to E. G, Biechler, president and gener- al manager, 'April shipments totaled 1,501 cars, the high mark for one month to date" he said. "And May indications point to another peak month. Every 12 seconds of the working day a Frigi- daire compressor is finished, ready for shipment," As compared with the same month last year, April shipments showed an increase of 129 per cent. in house- hold electric refrigerators, 85 per cent in compressors and 88 per cent. in cooling coils for both household and commercial use. "The introduction of a new Frigid- aire at the lowest price in Frigidaire history and the new Frigidaire Cold Control by means of which the user can, obtain any necessary temperature for dessert making has, we believe, contributed most to these phenomenal conditions," said Mr. Bitchier. "More than 25,000 of these Cold Control devices have beet ordered as special equipment for machines in the field, which is a fair indication' as to what people best able to judge of the value of this device actually think of its particular . advantages. ' It is not 'merely i temperature adjustment for the food compartment, but it .is pri- marily a device for controlling freez- ing speeds in the dessert and ice trays and is capable of producing rear -zero teraperatiire5 in the.free+- 'inte, g compartment at the turn of a bail li "The newest household model, with 4 LEAGUE SECRETARY AT OTTAWA tiring a trip through Canada on the Canadian National Rail- ways, Joseph Avenel., Deputy Seexe-. tarry of the League of Nations, spent a day in Ottawa, where he rt wed his aequaintatee with the Prb te, /Abide, whom he niet at'.
