Conservation of energy is efficiency

Hastings, England—A "fire and

tie Abbey by an enraged. monk nearly
400 years ago; is being recalled here
in connection with the recent burn -

The malediction was pronounced la
1543 atter Henry VIII had dissolved
the chapter and delivered the abbey
to a court favorite.

"Part of the abbey was destroyed bY
fire; recently Lady Webster, wife of
the owner was drowned, and now this
fire has come.:'
The abbot's 'hall, a section dating
from the eleventh century, was de-
stroyed by the latest fire. It housed

Christ's "denunciations" of the
Pharisees are not altogether easy to
.terpret. There can be little doubt
that many of the Pharisees were sin-
cere -and religious men, such as Saul
of Tarsus. It is not likely, therefore,
that Jesus "denounced" them all indis-
criminately incl laid at their door
these serious charges. That there was
among them much self-deception,
"play-acting" (or "hypocrisy"), lack
of moral perspective, and the curious
spiritual blindness which not rarely
afflicts hard and "goed" men, the (L.

testify. but it is not necessary to sup-

And the violets give perfume,
And the blue grass waves like hushes,

15 Million Parasites
May Save Peach Crop
Nev Haven, Conn.—In an attempt
to save this slate's peach crop, more
than 15,000,000 parasites will be re-
leased this spring in time to destroy
the eggs of the peach moth, a parasite
of the peach tree, it was announced
by the Connecticut experiment sta-
tion recently. In case some eggs
escape and are hatched into larvae.
the experiment station is breeding
another parasite which prefers the
juicy worm instead of the egg of the
moth. About 900,000 of these will
be released later in the spring, and
the Connecticut peach crop this sum-
mer is expected to mature unmolest-
ed by the pests.
Breeding the parasites iu 'the la-
boratories involves the use of care -
