England Makes the
Motorist Glad to
LONDON, April 20.—Quick lunch
lea rooms are to be added to tilling
stations in England for the benefit
of motorists.
Gasoline supply branch stations are
comparatively new here, but the idea
has taken hold and spread rapidly,
and some of the new houses now
going up in and near London for the
spring trade are known as “petrol
palaces.” Quite a number have free
wash and brushup rooms as well as
quick lunch facilities, where mem
bers of the motor party may satisfy
their thirst for tea, cake and sand
wiches while the car is being filled
with gasoline.

Bishop Berry Deplores
Ugly Church Buildings
(Bt Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA, April 20. -Bishop
Joseph F. Berry of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, iu a criticism pub
lished in an ecclesiastic paper, fair
ly castigates church buildings for the
sin of ugliness.
“Grotesque,” “unsightly”, “trocious”
and misfits are a few of Bishop Ber
ry’s descriptive phrases, which he
heaps on present .day church achi
tecture. He defends his accusation
i on the ground of many years’ care
S ful observation of ecclesiastic build
j ing, and his dedication of more than
1300 Methodist Episcopal churches
; during his tenure of office.
“No other class of public or pri
vate buildings has been bungled so
generally,” the bishop says of church
es. He further adds the sin of er
ecting what he terms ‘square, over
grown dry goods boxes’ has not been
confined to any section, but extends
from Maine to California, although
being worse in the middle and far
west, because those territories are
newer and less conservative.
“Everything has been sacrificed to
obtain the maximum seating capacity
at the minimum cost. The architec
tural misfits are by no means con
fined to the west and south, we have
them in the east. Now to my sim
ple mind the ideal school of church
architecture is the Gothic. Its lines
are always simple, chaste, and satis
fying. The suggestion is one of
worship.”
The senior bishop stresses this
point. It is the purpose of a church
he says, to express religious impul
ses outside as well as afford a place
for their expression inside. “The
character of a church building is so
closely related to the possibilities
of spiritual work which should be
done within its sacred walls that
to make a failure out of a church
building is an act that comes very
near to being a crime. Because a
building is of low cost is no reason
why it should be ugly. The blun
ders made by building committees
within my knowledge make me al
most shudder.”
Bishop Berry especially urges the
employment of the best architects in
drawing the plans. “Good plans may
seem expensive,” he says, “but poor
plans are more so.”
It is claimed that a stone-cutting
machine recently invented will do
anything in stone that a circular
saw will do in cutting lumber.
Virginia Cassis, 14 year old girl
of Sistersville, W. Va., won a prize
for an essay on “Evil Effects of To
bacco.” Her father is a prominent
tobacco dealer.

Guards Chase Bandits
in Own Speed Boats
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 20—
The specially designed speed boats
which have become common in the
illegal delivery traffic between Rum
Row and the coast, are to be pressed
into service whenever captured, in
the war to enforce the blockade un
der regulations now being prepared
in the treasury department.
Acting under authority of a sta
tute enacted in the closing days of
the 68th Congress, the department
is preparing to utilize the authority
therein conferred to use vessels and
vehicles seized in the process of en
forcing the Volstead act.
The new regulations are to be pro
mulgated May 1. In the meantime
the government will continue to of
fer at auction the carriers caught in
the coastal and highway nets, but
with stricter application of safe
guards designed to prevent their pur
chase by former owners.
While recent figures are not avail
able, the prohibition unit during the
year ended June 30, 1924, seized over
the country 5,214 automobiles having
an estimated total value of $3,226,
339; and 236 boats and launches val
ued approximately at $279,198. The
coast guard during the calendar year
1924, seized 251 vessels.
Groups of rural mail boxes fixed
to old wagon wheels so as to be re
volved on a pedestal have been in
stalled by farmers near Livermore,
Cal., to save time of mail carriers.
Simple Mixture Best
For Constipation
Simple buckthorn bark, magnesium
sulph. c. p., glycerine, etc., as mixed
in Adlerika, is excellent for constipa
tion. It often works in one hour or
less and never gripes. The pleasant
and QUICK action of this efficient in
testinal evacuant will surprise you.
Adlerika helps any case gas on the
stomach, unless due to deep-seated
causes. Often removes matter you
never thought was in your system.—

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there Is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
