Although there is no estimate or mention of pensions in the Salvation Army Year Book for 1934, the their Sunday Dispatch learns that outlay runs to reven ilgures.

Pensions range from 35% to £4, according to the officer's rank on reaching the age of 05.

The notice, which was issued In the form of circular, states: "Many officers have been ob- acrved associating themselves with denominations whlek (each doctrines other than those of the Salvation Army. Unless such connections are severed, and re- gular attendances at Salvation Army services recorded, steps will be taken to suspend pay- ment of the weekly pension."

Flouted "Curse

Of Devil"

TWO YEARS' BAD LUCK

Until two years ago there stood

in the Kent village of Newington a stone known as the Devil's Stone, bearing, it is sold, the imprint of a hoof.

Then, to the singing of school chil-f dren, who stood round the crossed fingers, the stone was moved to con- secrated ground in the churchyard.

As the stone left the ground rain fell in torrents.

That was two years ago. In those two years frost has ruined the fruit crops, drought has spoiled the vege- table harvests, the parish church tower has cracked, bells have been silenced, and there has been more deaths and tragedies in the village than ever before.

DEVIL'S VISIT And this is the story of the stone told to a Sunday Express representa- tive by a villager:

"It is said that the devil visited Newington, and, being annoyed by the church bells, flung them from the tower into a near-by bog.

HAS ho stepped from the tower he put his foot on the stone, which bears
