It took only two days to tear down the old one, and on Thursday, a steam shovel was put to work digging for the foundations of the new house. In 1881, Rev Henry Evan Cotton succeeded to the rectorship of Christ Church, Quincy, following Rev Thad-deus A.

Snively, who had served as I rector for three years. During the rectorship of Rev Dr Cotton, the house was built in 1886. That parish house served until 1930. It was Increasingly evident that a new build- Ing was needed. A committee, representing the va-.

rious organisations of the parish and the vestry and the parish at large, i was called to serve. It selected I George W. Chickering of Boston as the architect. A financial campaign was begun, but instead of being able to build in the year 1925, aa hoped, he time was permitted to run during the life-time of the pledges of five years, so that the present undertaking of the erection of a new parish house has started with about two-thirds of the entire amount required in cash in the bank. With the choice of the committee of W.

R. Lofgren, with whom a contract is to be arranged, the work was definitely started on May 22 with the destruction of the old parish house. The buildinf committee elected by the vestry of the parish. Samuel D. De-Forest, chairman, William L.

Thomas and George E. Adams, 'has been instructed to prepare a contract to execute and carry to completion the new building which will be begun as soon as the present site is cleared of the old building. To Use Quincy Granite Quincy granite will be used in its construction to make it harmonize with the church to which it is to be joined I will be twice as large as the former building, and as it is built of enduring granite, it is plainly built for the future. The 'building will face north, extending from the rear of the rectory westward half way past the church, an entrance being cut to give admission from the parish house to the church on the basement floor and on the main floor, A brief description of the building follows: In the basement a large kitchen 30x 20, with all modern appliances, will face on a room which by means of accordion doors can be made into class rooms or converted into an assembly room where 200 may dine. A corridar connects with various rooms and lead out to the Quincy-ay end.

A feature of the basement plan is the erectioa of a fireproof vault where the various old records and old silver of the parish may be kept. On the main floor a large atage i located above the kitchen with un assembly hall that will accommodate 300 which opens onto a corridor leading out directly to Quincy av. Off this corridor a rectors room and a large room which can be used for variou organizations are to the left. To the right of the corridor is the new entrance into the main floor of tlie church. An additional entrance also extends to the right of the corridor Where a sacristy is to be constructed, something the parish has needed for some time.

Above the Quincy av end of the building, where it is Joined onto the church, a gallery with a moving picture boofh and an additional room for some organization, are located in what would be the second story. The boiler room Is under the kitchen at the High School-av end. The bui'd-ing will be heated with steam, gen erated by an oil burner. It is figured that for the complete construction and equipment of thi building about $65,000 will be needed, and It is hoped that the building will elementary education, Boston Teachers' College, Brooks Hamilton was the radio I announcer for the program, which included sections dealing with 13 Nations.

Down the old air lane he took 20 years ago to write a new page in the history of aviation, Glenn H. Curtiss yesterday flew from Albany to New York. At the controls of a giant, twin motored transport plane he retraced his flight of May 29, 1910, from the capital city to Governors Island in New" York Harbor in almost exactly half the time it took him 20 years ago. Then he flew the 137 miles in 152 minutes. Today the time was 80 minutes.

In 1910 he flew alone, sitting on the front of a box kite plane that few aviatorr of today would risk their lives in. Yesterday he carried with him 12 passengers and a copilot Capt Frank Courtney of transatlantic fame. Three accompanying planes carried 30 more persons. Mr Curtiss had little to say at Curtiss Field, Valley Stream, where the big transport landed after circling the old objective Governors Island but he did say that he enjoyed the trip im- mensely. Among those making the flight yesterday wer Don Seitz, who, representing The New York World 20 years ago, gave Curtiss a $10,000 prize check; Frank Russell, president of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored yesterday's flight; Jacob L.

Ten Eyck, official starter of the flight 20 years ago and yesterday taking his first ride in an airplane; Mayor John Boyd Thatcher II of Albany, Augustus S. Post, connected with Mr Curtiss in the first flight, and Senator J. Griswold Webb, chairman of the State Air Commission. Member of 40 Organizations Mr Bailey is quite a joiner. He said, today, that he is a member of more than 40 organizations and still main tains an active interest in as many a3 he can.

Of course, I cant get around to all the meetings," he said. For the first time since 1 have been a member, I shall have to miss the au nual convention of the Sons of the American Revolution, continued the Civil War veterans. I am an honorary life member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, and its annual celebration comes on the same date. Many of the organizations in which Mr Bailey has membership are patriotic, and in numerous instances he is the only Civil War veteran on the membership rolls. He is vice president of the Army of the Potomac.

During the Civil War Mr Bailey served in the 5th (Massachusetts Regiment.

As a resume of their work In history and geography this year, the sixth-grade 'pupils of Miss Helen L. Murphy's room at the William E. Russell School, Columbia road, Dorchester, recently presented for the children of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, a fine Pageant of the Nations, studied du Ing the past year. This class has been working on on activity program throughout the entire term, the work being arranged to suit the individual needs of the pupils, as far as possible. The children, who have thus been highly developed through many varied activities, plan and execute their work.

Studies are kept close to the students and they are vitally interested because they are a vital part of the procedure, their teacher states. Most of the research has been carried on by groups that study, play and live together in a highly socialized atmosphere. They have invited experts to visit their room and talk to them, and they have visited art museums, places of historical interest and industrial plants. They also have delved into the fields of radio, wireless, television, telephone and automobiles. Wrote to Folk Far Away Through letters they have been in touch with persons in all parts of Europe, Asia and Africa.

The children made their costumes, learned' the folk songs and folk dances, made posters, traced the history of the music of the different countries, brought in musical records and even printed their programs. The class has been carried on under the technique set forth by Miss Julia Dickson, head of the department of -4l HisT 1 1 From the Continent Marie Rados gave a report on Ger-I many and sang a solo.

Mr Bailey has been a resident of Newton 46 years. He served in the old City Council and was a member of the city charter committee in 1894.

He is 84 years old, but his physician declares that he is really only 3 years old, because he spent five weeks in the hospital from March 24 to April 26 with whooping cough. Mr Bailey never had this unpleasant ailment as a child, but he had it sure enough at 84. He made a good recovery, though, even now he is bothered some with the cough. GEN BEACH. WHO WORKED RUSE IN CIVIL WAR.

DIES ROCKPORT, May 31 Gen Edgat Rice Beach, 89, a well-known Western rewspaperman and a veteran of the Civil War, died last night at a sanatorium where he had been under treatment for several months. He was a native of Farmington, III, and had an adventurous career. Our. ing the war he was captain of a colored regiment. He was captured and confined for three years at Anderson-ville, from which he finally escaped by a ruse.

An exchange of prisoners occurred which involved a hut mate, who iid the night before. Mr Beach saw an opportunity for escape. Boldly impersonating the dead man, he succeeded in carrying out his stratagem and obtained freedom. He afterward rose to Adjutant General. After the war he became connected with the newspaper business in St Louis, and was in the advertising de-partment of the Globe-Democrat prior to his retirement.

He leaves a son in St Louis and a daughter, Mrs Alice Beach Winter of the East Gloucester artists colony.

Her first position was in a hardware store; then after completing her business college course, she secured work in a law office, and became so interested that she determined to be a lawyer herself. Through the school, Miss Kaseta secured a position with the Edison Company of Brockton during her second year at Portia, and she is now title examiner for that company.

Water-house, old-time Maine lumberman. He made the annoying discovery years 4 ago that certain ponds and streams contain a rust-eating property which in less than a year will destroy an entire set of boiler pipes costing $250. The costly replacement proved to be a distracting annual event until Down Easter happened along. Just throw a bushel of potatoes in the boiler every spring and let them stay there, he said. This was done and the result was a peculiar rust-resisting coating which formed on the inside of the pipes.

In five years the profit on this little tip netted $1000. A farmer near Fredonia, Kan, noticed that his gasoline and oil supplies were being regularly depleted. Wnen his tanks became empty he filled "he oil tank with a mixture of water and molasses and Just poured a lot of water into the gasoline tank. The next night a motor car of a city man was stalled a short distance from the farmers home and investigation revealed the gasoline tank was full of water. Two days later a motor car was hauied Into a Fredonia garage with the molor bearings burned out and the garage man wondered at the peculiar oil he found in the crank case.

The. modern desire to get up and go places seemes to include even he birds. At least it did one young blackbird that came from Cartersburg, Jnd, to Indianapolis, a distance of about 22 miles, on the running board of a car wned by Bert R- Ivey. Ivey found the bird when alighting from his car after reaching home. The bird was placed in a box to be sent back to Cartersburg.

The 73 years that Walter Upward of Los Angeles. Calif, have lived rest lightly upon him, so, living up to his name, he took up flying about two months ago. Lately he flew a plane, soared gracefully over San Fernando Valley for a Jong time and landed skillfully as a veteran of the air. It was his first solo flight, and his instructor, Capt Bob Lloyd, was proud of him. especially as the solo was made afte.

Upward had spent only about 15 hours flying time training.
