Thompson, president, and C. O. Day. salesmanager. The data shows that the majority of purchasers of crypts iu Augeles Abbey are young men in their twenties or early thirties.

These men. explains Mr. Thompson, are keen enough to realize that because they buy crypts today is no sigu they expect to have use for them tomorrow. They are preparing for any eventuality and at the same time are making a good investment because, with the price advances which are now scheduled, crypts will be a great deal more expensive when they are needed by these nteu. Possibly they would not he obtainable at all.

In our plan, however, it is the public who will own the buildings when they are completed and the company will have nothing to sell. We allow the public to purchase crypts at a much lower price than would be possible in an ordinary method of procedure because they buy their crypts before the building is even started- We are always selling crypts in buildings yet to be built, and when they are built we have no crypts for sale. Therefore, the men who purchase a family section of four, six, eight or 12 crypts now and find after the building is finished that they will not have use for all of them will be the only ones who will have crypts for sale to those who have a bereavement in their family and must have space immediately."

ARTHUR MEIGS That from to 87 per cent of the children in three Long Beach schools are in need of dental attention is shown by a survey recently completed by the denial hygiene department of the city. The department, started in November, is a joint social welfare department and board of education project, tlie dental operator dividing his time equaiiy between the two. When the project of opening a dental hygiene bureau was presented to the city council last fall it was stated that between ill per cent and 9.1 per cent of Long Beach school children are in need of dental attention.

Two weeks of the mouth arc spent in the schools, during which time a survey is conducted and parents are informed of the condition of their children's teeth. A card is sent home, urging parents to give the child the needed attention. Two schools arc surveyed each month, ono week being spent in each school. The remaining two weeks are. spent iu the social welfare department, taking care of the needy cases that wire found during the survey.

The program has been successfully carried out in Bridgeport. Boston, Rochester. Miun.r New York and other cities, and il was found that the percentage i children needing alteution was uo greater than found here. The results iu these cities show that after the work had been conducted o'er a three to five year period that the children were in better health and that there was Increase in work done in the schools. It has been estimated reports from other cities that about 40 per cent of the absences fromsehool is due to toothache or 'an improper mouth condition.

ly cutting down this percentage the efficiency of the child is increased. In addition to Ibe survey, children are taught the care of the mouth. An interest is stimulated so that they will brush their teeth of their own free will. The children are shofvn a logical reason why they should have a clean mouth. They are also taught the diet necessary to build strong teeth.

Few parents realize that the first permanent tooth erupts when the child is 5 years and 1) months to 6 years old and that this tooth is the most important one that any possesses. It comes in 'back of the baby teeth and is the iyth from the front of the mouth. pMany times there is a fault in the formation of this tooth and when it comes thru at this early age a cavity is present. The cavity is small it is not easily recognized. By the time the child Is 8 years old the tooth is hopelessly decayed and the only thing that can be done is to have the tooth extracted.

The loss of this tooth means that there will he an underdeveloped face or chin due to the fact that this tooth holds the bones of the face in the proper position during period of growth. Charts are sent to the parents them whin this tooth is decayed, giving them an opportunity to prevent the deformity to Yheir children that would otherwise occur. The program that Is being attempted is one of prevention of future trouble. It was thot advisable to restrict the work this year to the kindergarten, first, second and third grades, as this time is the greatest formative period in the growth of the child.

Hicks, secretary of evangelism for the presbytery of Los Angeles, ho has been conducting a campaign among tlie Bros hyterian churches of San Diego for the past month, arrived In Long Beach Saturday to make plana fur the school of evangelism campaign which will he started here in the Calvary Presbyterian and Second Presbyterlafn churches, also the First Presbyterian and Calvary Presbyterian churches of San Pedro and Wilmington, respectively.

The school of evangelism plan was originated hy Dr. Hicks while lm w-as associated with Rev. M. A. MiAthews of the First Presbyterian church In Seattle, the largest church of the Presbyterian denomination in America.

The school of evangelism is a great forward movement of all tlie different departments, divisions and enterprises of tho church. Dr. Hicks declared. It is a combination of organization, education and consecration. Speaking of the work, Dr.

Hicks said: It is organized evangelism, it is face to face evangelism. It is spirit-filled evangelism. It is the evangelism for the age and the time in which we are now living. The school of evangelism finds eomeihing for every member of tie church to do, then trains him and helps lifra to do it. The first step in the school of evangelism campaign Is the organization of the members of the church anii second the districting of the parish and the finding of the task.

Schools of evangelism have been conducted hy Dr. Hicks in several of the largest Presbyterian churches in America. Only two campaigns have been carried on iu Southern California. Dr. Hicks conducted a campaign among eight Los Angeles churches last fall and lias recently completed a campaign with five San Diego churches.

The San L'iego campaign resulted in the addition of several hundred members to churches there and local pastors have declared that the same results would be accomplished here. Many of the leading clergymen of America have placed their stamp of approval upon the work of the school of evangelism. The evangelistic committee of the presbytery of Los Angeles went over the plan recently and adopted it for the use of Hie entire presbytery. The l-ong Beach. Wilmington and Sau Pedro campaigns bid fair to bo among tlie greatest that have untouched by the hurrying world, yet an iinportaut part in the scheme of things.

She has memories of most all the important periods in the his tory of the country, but to me, the most remarkable time of her 92 years were those of her childhood days in New Hampshire. She was born in a state which lias stood for leadership in humane movements; in a state which is ven- erated for men and women who have shown valor, persistency, patience and leadership in pushing helpful projects. Mary Rogers was horn of parents who joined in a struggle ugaiust injustice toward and oppression of another race. Her father, Nathaniel Peabody Rogers, was the editor of the first anti-slavery paper published iu New Hampshire. This was "The Herald of Freedom." William Lloyd Carrison was Ills partner.

Mr. Rogers held that slavery could he abolished without bloodshed. William Llovd Garrison used methods In his war against slavery which bis partner could not approve, so the partnership bloke up. Garrison went to Massachusetts and published "The Liberator," while Editor Rogers continued to carry on his Herald Of Freedom" in New Hampshire. Mr.

Rogers had that typical New England mind which has always felt tlie need of serving the oppressed. characterized as an Instinct to protect others, and said to lie as divine an instinct as that of self-preservation. Because of his work as an editor and a lawyer. Attorney Rogers knew well as friends and neighbors that group of New England leaders which every American child hears about in the first traditions of American days and ways. NAMES THAT INSPIRE Ralph Waldo Emerson.

John Greenleaf Whittier. Bronson Aleott Daniel Webster, Tlioreau and Wen dell Phillips were among Hie personages who were known in the! Rogers homo when Mrs. Kimball1 was a young girl. Bo It Is the days of the anti-slavery struggle which formed tlie first and strongest Impressions. is the knowledge of the influence and tlie results of hei fathers struggle which stand out as early recollections.

The memory of the moral aifil spiritual leadership of her lather Is one of the vital things In Mrs. Kimball life. When it is remembered that history states that New Hampshire sent John Parker Hale, in 1x47, as the first senator to tin United States senate, to lie dele gated by any state as standing distinctly against slavery, it is evident that some of the seeds sown by the Herald of Freedom" were slowly hearing fruit. Mr. Rogers also wrote for the New York Triliutn- when Horace Greeley asked Dim for a aeries of letters.

These were written under the nom-de-plume of Tile Old Man of the Mountain. In 1935 Mary Rogers and Thomas Kimball were married and they moved to Cincinnati. Ohio, to es taiilish their home. Their throe children were born in this home. Later they moved to Omaha, for Mr.

Kimball was with the Union Pacific railroad anti his headquarters were established there. For 25 years he served this road, in almost every capacity, ending as vice president. So in a different form, Mrs. Kimball was once again related to one who was carrying on constructive work for thp nation. A daughter showed ht preference for men in the railroad service by marrying George W.

Surrounded hy multitudes of i fraeile bits of bric-a-brac in an old antique shop, hemmed iu on every side by bits of porcelain and china that would fail and shatter into hits at tlie bast Vibration. Johnnie was forced to go thru the entire action of tlie play without displacing ono of these properties. An it took several weeks before i tlie director was thru with tliei scene, and as every single article In the siiop had to lie preserved thruout because of the necessity of matching the various pictures accurately, tlie job which the young star uuiler'ook was something like walking a tight rope over Niagara Fails. Johnnie came thru splendidly, however, iu spite of the faet that some of the business it) tin play required that lie jump around among the antiques like a grasshopper.

Only tlirep pieces were broken, two vases and one platter, and Johnnie claims that tile cameraman broke those. The part of Thaddeus Plummer fils Walker like a spring overt nut. and the play should prove a pleasing attraction..
