But it isn't -- it was in use In Glasgow years before the war, • Recently, the Menebester system has been much diecuseetl. Briefly. the Manche:aim polite -box is a Walt ter, rhnl- rio. unlike a teleplientanme 'alining a telephone, While on hie beat 'a policeman is sePPeeied to ring Up (headquarters from these police - boxes; •itt least nine time in eight hours duty, If headquarters wieits to send it message to him, an eleet ri- cal device shows a yellow lightlin an. Often, of course, this yellow Ugb. mays be burniag while the constable is on another tart of his beat, but now that the meaning of ehe light is realized, passer-by who notice it in aweintion tell the policeman if they meet , The general result is that, leforrea- tion is eIrculaSed inueb more quickiy. In one case a woman found ‘a letter left in the bouee by her husband. telling her that by the tirde she read it he would be in a certain canal. She took it ;o the pollee at once, and a message was ,got through to the po- lice -box ilearest the canal. The policeman on duty hurried le the canal, anti arrived just in time to see a nian jump hem ihrr wnier. Within five minutes of the woman's - call at the police, station the man Ines been yeseued. Members of the public, as well as policemen, min use the boxes, 'and e good many of theta have done so dui.- ing the experimental period. I3u' there have been no, rnalieious calif; though .in one, or two cases MEd n took off the receiver "to see how 1. worked." The Glasgow, authorities coul,i give many instances es the usefulness of the police -box. 111 one case a Glasgow man was e:eriouely tale tem at Newcastle Railway Station. N 1,1V- eas UP 'phoned to the*Glasgow pollee, and a minute later the "alarm" lia-nt was burning in a pclicesbox not ittr from the injured man's home. Tem minutes later the policeman on that beat was knocking at the door of tee house. In a quarter of an hour ihr Wife was on her way to Newcastle. Louden, also, has police -boxes, Tin fall of a disk warns the constable on duty if the police station wishes to communicate, and while there may not be electrical signalling at night, if an ordinary patrol lantern is plass- ed so that the disk in falling eu:s off the light, the policeman knows at once when he is wanted. AN AIII_IDESS ARMY. "Oyrwavd, Christian Soldiers" Is the ' Salvation Army's Motto. There is an army which has thou- sands of corps and outposts, a gen- eral, lieutenant colonels, adjutan-s, majors, staff captains, corporals, and millions of soldiers, yet no ---arms. What can this giant, unarmed force be? asks Answers. It is the world-famoue Salvation Army. The growth of this army has be.en a veritable romance. Although only started in 1865, and reorganized in- to its present forra twelve years gl otebre,. it has expanded phenomenelly and le is now established over the who While their beginning was of the humblest, to -day the military uni- forms, caps, bonnets, and bands of the Salvationists are familiar In eighty-three different countries, and members of the army speakoverfit y different languages in the course of -their world-wide ministrations. With their 'romantic growth le numbers their funds have expanded to match, and to -day the general in command has control of holds and assets ranging from $100,000,000 lo $150,000,000. Most of the funds are raised in- ternally, but for over forty years thm have made a speciality of "Self -Den ial Week," when 'the ordinary public Is also 'asked to contribute. ' Testimony to the army's work among women and children is given by the fact that over 116 Indus -Mal homes and 39 maternity homes are . maintained for the termer, and abou eh,all filled with those. who have been hurt in peouel struggle wiln verotTy,the cruel for tin: latter.

IRISH GOLD.ORNANATS 00.1.41.1 WAS FQ1.1.N.D IN IRELAND IN 1606 B.C. Lady Visitor Mutt Impressed hi' Die Collection to Be Seen 10 lite Na- tional Museum, Dublin-- St. Pat- rick's Dell. The first time 1 visited thr; Na - tonal Museum of Science' and Art at Dublin, writes Grace V. Kelly 10 Cleveland. Plain Dealer, 1 was so much impressed by t1i4 collection of anelent Irish 'gold, ornaments that concentrated iny atteution on theme to the exclusion of everything else. These ornaments, made and worn in the bronze age, were hidden in bog -s, caves and graves, until smile accident or another brought them to light again. The gold was found in Wicklow and the „first known use of it was made in 1,500 B.C., when the gold collars known as lunulae were worn by the kings and the great warriors. The lunulae are, half paeans of gold, beaten very thin, and they must have been the lovely things around kingly necks. They are the lovely things now, displayed itt eases in the gold room at the museum. For this collectioii is so important and it so far outranks any other gold collection in western Europe that it has a room to itself. In fact, it outranks all the DONNYBROQK • prehistoric gold collectioes in western ,liatlelitillteillaillifelltillIIIIIIII4111$11301.11,11Ellir1111111111)111111111111,•111111111111111111111111111$111111111101111111$1fillai 1111 _ Great Tittles hi the Victoria aeguiato post church 51 51 51 51 il 1il111ll51II51ltIlIl51lIl51IIII1lIll For the past few even- ings Wingharn has had the pleasure of hearing the Rev.

I've been told that these amount to SO pounds in all, wbile the Irish col- lection. has 300 of gold. Thirty-nine lunulaehave remained to the Irisb, while a few have gone to the British and other museums. After the lunulae came tbe gars gets, crescent shaped, and collars ela- borately tooled and decorated. Five of these gorgets are in the museum collection, and others are in private collections. These ornaments seem to have been peculiar to Ireland, for their like has been found in no other place. The objects were found singly or :n great ends, such as Great Clare Find ha 1854. This ,find contained the largest number of gold 'ornaments of the Bronze Age discovered in Ireland or in all western Europe and is very remarkable and important. Three laborers svho were digging for a railway at Ballykilty, County Clare, accidently turned up the treas- ure with their spades and sold it iin- medately for whatever they could get. So it became scattered through pri- vate 'collections, and thirteen rings from it are in the British Museum, But Ireland was lucky after all, for thirteen of the 'most inctOortant pieces Lound their way to the National Museum. Gorgets and bracelets are in the collection at the museum, and cup - ended fibulae of various sizes and great ingots of pure gold. Another kind of ornament, featur- ed largely in the gold collection. was the torque. This was a twisted rib- bon of gold which was worn about the waist. This ornament is known to have been worn in many countries but the style was set in Ireland, as in the ease of the lunulae. .Numbers of these were acquired through the finds, and again the National Museum was lucky in getting an adequate share of them.. • Atinlets, rings, earrings, discs and huge gold balls are other objects -n1 the collection. Not one "or two rtf them, but many examples. At she; • museum they'll always tell you about the great finds. The )3roighter find, the County Cavan, and all the Is me where the earth gave tip its hidden gold. All of these occurred in the B.0 period and is very wonderful, but when the attendant really wants if; impress emu, elime you several A.D. objects, and tell you that these are the most important it, the collectiou. One of these it the famous atter brooch which was made about '700 £D., and was found in 3850 011 i strand' near, Drogh era, County Meath . Many -other brooches are in the col- lection, but thetwat tara brooch is the king of tbem all. So sound is it in its designing and so free! And so exquisite is the material and the workmanship. The mystery Jf 135 story is around it, there in the rase at the museum! What king wore it In his cloak? And did he die in 101 sea, so many centuriee ago I dragged myself away from it ti.. do homage to the Arelagh, chalice and brooches. The chalice dates from the • ninth century,,and was found in 1866 by it man digging potatoes al the reth of Reerasta in Connie' LiMeriek. It is eoinnosed chiefly of gold but has silver and bronze in it and. Is en- riched with areas of deltie interla and ,settings of enamel and amber. .Chalices o1 this early period, throughout Europe, can be co.ulitod On quo hand; and the Ardagh chalice Is the only ,Celik one in existence.
