England is still the land of great wealth, from the columns of some of its appears advertising mediums. A recent issue of

"Motor," of London, contains under the eral offers of such cars for over ten thou

head of "Second-hand Cars for Sale " sev

sand dollars each! One car, which dates as far back as 1913, is described thus: "Magnificent open sporting body, leather cover

The famous "Keeley Institute" for the

cure of inebriates is, it is announced, to pass into the limbo of forgotten things. The supply of patients has fallen off to such an extent as to make the business no longer profitable, it is said. The sanitarium undertook to give the victim of inebriety a permanent distaste for liquor, through what was called the "bichloride of gold" treatment. For one week the patient received, according to reports, all the liquor he could drink; then the "cure" began, and soon the patient grew to abhor cup and remained sober" ever after."

Extreme longevity has its drawbacks. An English paper reminds us of this fact by quoting the story of Janos Mergessi, a Hungarian, who at the age of eighty-four was arrested for attempting suicide by jumping off a bridge at Budapest into the Danube. This, however, was not the case of extreme longevity referred to. Janos, in explanation of his attempt to end his life, explained that he was the sole support of his father and mother, and that the burden of caring for them was becoming too great for him. They were aged 115 and 110, respectively, he stated! The story goes that the statement proved to be true, and that a public subscription for the three was started, which placed them above want.

Here are two placards recently seen in New York City, one interesting for its orthography, the other for its economic bearing. The first reads: "The Colored and Indian Filum Co." The second sign is in the showcase of a basement shoeshop on Fourth Avenue: "Fine Boot to

A story about the labor situation in England is to the effect that a man applied for a position and asked eight guineas ($40) a week wages. He was told he could have five guineas ($25). His reply was, "It wouldn't pay me to take that; sign my card." The card was to show that he had applied for a job; he had purposely asked more than he thought would be paid, and he then would, on showing the signed card to the authorities, continue to receive from the Labor Bureau 29 shillings for himself, 10s. 6d. for his wife, 10s. for the first child and 5s. for each of his other children-a total of possibly four pounds," and then all is well with him for another week" of idleness.

The airship "R 33" has been making a tour of the French battlefields, says the London "Sphere," and it carried a chef and gave its passengers French cooking, and real beds, with sheets. "On September 15," says the same paper, "during a flight from Amsterdam to England, this lunch was served on a passenger airplane: Salmon mayonnaise, cold chicken, fruit salad, and wine."

Concerning the new editor of the London "Times," Mr. Henry Wickham Steed, "The Landmark" says: "The editors of the Times' have not hitherto been brilliant. Delane was a man of sound judgment, of wide knowledge, shrewd in his estimation of other men. Chenery was a scholar of great learning. Buckle added to his gift of being able in a very short time to tear the heart out of any problem set before him, an acquaintance with all the prominent people of the day. Geoffrey Dawson took a wider view of world affairs than his predecessors. But none of these editors could have been called brilliant. Now the Times' comes under the direction of a journalist who cannot be spoken of without this epithet."

Some one might make an amusing article about queer placards found in hotels. Here are two to start with: An East Indian hotel is said to caution its guests, "Please do not slap the servants. Report any incivility to the manager;" and a sign in the rooms of a Western hotel reads, "Guests wishing to clean their shoes will kindly ask the housekeeper for brush and blacking. Please do not use the towels for this purpose."

A Boston newspaper prints this letter from an aspiring poet:

I have at hand a new and original poem entitled "Matty Lew" which . . . is dramatic poem and contains something like thirty-two stanzas and is somewhat similar to the "Face on the Barroom Floor." I am an ardent reader of your newspaper and in seeing the nature of literature that your subscribers enjoy, I think my poem will suit them immensely, therefore I have given you the first opportunity to procure same.

The "American Printer" indulges in this little sarcasm about the industrial situation: "The movement to give employees a bigger share in the management of industrial plants and more of the profits has a good sound, but there are those who can see the day when employers will ask a part in the management and some of the profits."

RIGHTS FOR SPANISH

PROTESTANTS

On October 9, 1919, at the eightieth annual session of the Rock River Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, held at St. James's Church, Chicago, a resolution, "Rights for Spanish Protestants," by a standing vote, was unanimously adopted. On March 9, 1906, a communication from the Department of State, in answer to a letter of December 25, 1905, to President Roosevelt in regard to the question of liberty of worship for Protestants in Spain, states that the American Minister at Madrid reports that in Spain a cross or other emblem of religion is never permitted to be erected upon a Protestant edifice, that generally the doors of the church are closed so as not to attract notice publicly to the service. It then directs attention to "the restrictions of the provision of the Constitution of Spain providing that no other ceremonies nor manifestations in public except those of the religion of the state will be permitted." "

A registered letter was written by a member of the Conference to the King of Spain, emphasizing the utterance of the Pope in his letter to Cardinal Gibbons concerning religious liberty and pointing out the great advantages that would accrue to Spain by such an "admiration for the Constitution of the United States" as would lead to the complete abandonment of Article II of the Constitution of Spain, and the utter discarding of the First Article of the Concordat of 1851, which specifies: "The Roman Catholic religion, to the exclusion of every other denomination, shall continue to be that of the Spanish nation, and shall be maintained throughout the dominion of his Roman Catholic Majesty."

The last paragraph of the resolution

states:

"We prize most highly the action of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church in deciding to enter Spain, and we trust that the Spanish Government may quickly realize that the proposed work of this Church is positively helpful to Spain, and that in the carrying on of this work she receives enjoyment to the full of the guarantees now formulated in the fundamental law of the Kingdom. Very sincerely indeed would we appreciate the action of our Chief Executive, President Wilson, in kindly suggesting to the State Department that our Government would be more than pleased if Spain should accord to Protestants what America grants to Roman Catholics-the right of public worship."

The noble editorial in your issue of June 4, 1919, in which you bring to the knowledge of the American people that a Protestant soldier in Spain is still compelled to join in the Roman Catholic military worship on festival days, that religious liberty does not exist in Spain, and that the Spanish people have been drinking deep draughts from the liberal ideas which furnished the slogan under which the Allied nations fought, constrains the writer to believe that The Outlook will regard the resolution, adopted by the Rock River Conference, "Rights for Spanish Protestants," as a decided step towards

the world's betterment.

The present is an opportune time to call attention to this important matter, and I trust that you will give it wide publicity through your columns. JOHN LEE. Chicago, Illinois.
