Ruins of Whalley Abbey Ac -
(paired' by Two Churches
London.—Whalley Abbey, the last
of the abbeys founded in Englandby
the Cistercian. or White Monks, is be-
ing restored to clerical use for the
first time since •its last abbot was
hanged, drawn and quartered in 1697.
A,small part of its magnificent ruins
has been acquired by Roman Catholics
for conversion into a church and bur-
ial ground. The rest of it has been
bought by the Church of England as a
place of Retreat for the new diocese of
Blackburn in Lancashire. The thou-
sands of tourists who roam about its
abandoned buildings and grounds
every year will before long find part
of it 'restored., inhabited and closed to
the public.
The village of Whalleylies seven
miles north of Blackburn, about five
hours by train north of London, and
the extensive grounds of the ruined
s'4,- abbey come down to the fringes of
ssisathe village, Used for residential and
farming purposes for a century or
two after Abbot John Paslew was put
to death in 1587, the ruins still reveal
the stern grace and the severe fitness
that characterized Cistercian disci-
pline.
Whalley's site is typical of the re-
moteness and desolation that the Cis-
tercians used to favor. It is likely
that in their -day the abbey had none
of the trees' that new beautify its
ruins. But they had the Calder, as
clear and lovely a stream in that day
as in this, but they diverted it from
its bed in their masterful way and
made it flow close beneath their walls
and serve their own purposes. Since
then it has been -sent back to its old
course, but the course they made for
it can still he seen and so can the old
canal course along which they brought
down from Pendia hill the immense
quantities of brown stone needed for
their buildings.
The' ruins to -day, are extremely
fragmentary. A little more than a
century after Abbot Paslew's, death,
the .owners of the buildings, having to
defend them against Cromwell's hien,
built a great rampart along the north
side—which perhaps explains why no-
thing now remains of the great abbey
church except a minute fragment of
the arch at the west end, and why the
old dining hall and kitchen are entire-
ly gone.
Excavation in modern times has
suggested the main lines of •the
church. It must have been very long,
and its tower, probably low and plain,
like all true Cistercian towers, seems
to have stood separate from the church
itself. -Excavation has also brought
up from beneath the green lawns the
outlines, of the chapter house, the par-
lor, the warming rooms, the infirmary
kitchen, the foundations of sundry
towers, the great outer gate on the
west, the entrance gate on the north
and the towers over the river on the
south.
Lancashire men everywhere will be
glad that Whalley Abbey is saved.,

the chicken let boil five minutes, then
add the cocoanut milk and boil up

pepper and salt to taste, the latter

Sprinkle some of the drained cocoa-

Another splendid chicken dish is
made by boiling a large chicken in
Just enough water to cover -it until
it is tender. Remove it from the fire
and add to the water in which it was
cooked two minced onions, one table-
spoon of chopped red pepper, half a
can of tomatoes and salt and pepper

Stuff the chicken with mashed pota-
toes, moistened with gravy and two
tablespoons of raisins mixed with the

Baby specialists agree nowadays,

must have three ounces of fluid per

rule is two ounces 0f fluid per poling
of body weight, The amount of fluld

Tread i
Scientifically
Desi r7 , d
When Firestone engineers were
developing the Balloon Tire they
found it necessary to design a tread
altogether different from that re-
quired by High Pressure Tires.
The Firestone tread was not de-
signed with large, massive projec-
tions for appearance or to make
plausible gales argument, On the
contrary, the projections of the
cross -and -square tread aro small
and the rider strips narrow, permit-
ting the tread to yield to irregulari-
ties and cling to the road, giving the
greatest non-skid surface. This
tough, pliable tread has the wear-
resisting qualities that give thou-
sands of extra miles of service and
save you money.
