Twenty Young Applicants
Take Civil Service Examina
tion for Superintendent.
'There still remains a chance for somo
Phlladelphlan to become superintendent of
Independence Hall at a nalary of JS0O a
year. Another examination was begun
by tho Civil Service Commission today.
But the man to get tho Job must bo of
broad, general education, qualified to rep
resent tho city of Philadelphia at public
functions at the nation's shrine of liberty.
He must know all tho historical lore of
Colonial days, must havo executlvo abil
ity to supervise the work of tho guards
and attendants at Independence Hall. Ho
must further be qualified to caro for val
uable real estate and personal property
all for a salary less than Is paid a police
man, Tho position has been vacant since May,
1913. Several weeks ago 76 applicants took
civil service examinations for the place.
Four applicants passed tho examination.
One of tho successful candidates refused
to havo his name considered, another was
not available for appointment, and Direc
tor Cooko flnnlly refused to make tho
appointment from a list of two name;.
Ab a. result, there was another examina
tion. Twenty applicants took the exami
nation today, almost all of them being
young men.
When I yell my order out In rhyme

An so Winks, tho waiter, mixes poetry

Ho knows that the appotltes of most of
tho patrons vary Inversely with their
llnnnces; nlso that the fellow with tho
chicken nnd Btrnwberry shortcake ambi
tion has to bo content with ham and
beans nnd pto.
And so by yelling tho same dishes dally,
ho accidentally drifted Into rhyme, nnd,
even though his metre Is usunlly n llttlo
awry, his poetical attempts havo brought
him no llttlo fame In tho neighborhood.
"I never ask deso guys wot dey want,"
said Winks today.
Just then, Tom, tho bootblack, entered,
and Winks yelled:
A bowl of soup for Tom Spoghett
Don't forpet to have It wet.
And send along a couple cakes

This was bnrcly over when a shabby
looking peddler came In nnd flopped Into
a chair. With one quick glance at him,
Winks shouted:

"Pull your chair In close," Bald Winks,
"dls hotel nln't all for you."
"Don't git sore," murmured Benny.
Winks was about to reply when Arthur,
tho negro Janitor for a shooting gallery,
shufllcd Into a seat. Ho looked at Winks
and grinned. Then ho patted a faded
wallet Blgnlflcantly.
"Some class today, eh, Artie?" queried
Winks.
'You havo Bpoken," answered Arthur,
Then to tho kitchen traveled tho voice
of Winks.

"That's the boy," said Arthur, ns he

Two fnlr maids then tripped In and sat

a wireless nod and held up two fingers.
Winks walked closer to the kitchen and
sent tho following messago:

"That's us" murmured the girls.
"Why do they call you Winks?" In
quired a visitor.
"I guess Its becaUBo I blink so much,"
said Winks, "l'cr see I used to be a song
an' dance man an' thcr footlights hurt me
eyes. They used to shoot red nnd green
colors on me from tho gallery, nn' then
when the whites come on they kind o'
complicated me optics. But, say, I can

later when ho did the most dramatic
thing ho linn done In this city.
Ho was nctlng tho story of Dnvld nnd
Oollnth. Ho called Oollnth "tho head
cheoso and the main works" and he had
David .nsklng, "Who's that gazaboo?"
nnd. In a flash, he was Dnvld, picking
out the stones for his sling and giving
Oollnth "the once over." Then ho was
David hurling tho Btonc. Ho spun around

"Ileahed!" he exclalmod. "David soslced

SOUP HOUSE REOPENS
This Is "Bundle Week" for Kensing
ton Unemployed.
The coal man failed to sho wup nt tho
headquarters of tho Kensington Soup
Society, nt 2054 Ann street, yesterday, and
about 300 men nnd women were unable to
get a supply of freo soup. Mrs. MUH
mento Ketchum, the "Angel of Kensing
ton," who was on hand with a staff to
prepare the soup, refused to let the des
titute applicants go away hungry, and
bread was distributed.
The soup headquarters was forced to
shut down two weeks ago because credi
tors were unablo to get some 5E0O which
was owed them. Mrs. Ketchum received
contributions of about J300 recently, and
Immediately decided to give away the
soup again. Several hundred families
have been kept from starvation by the
society during1 the winter.
Announcement was mado last night
that "Bundle Week" for KeiiBlncton's
unemployed will continue until next Sat
urday, Headquarters have been opened
at the home of Mrs. Ketchum, 3021

LEDOEn. Kensington and Lehigh ave
nues. Contributions will also be received
at S069 Kensington avenue and Allegheny
ayenue and P street. Boy scouts havo
contributions boxes which will bo
placed at street corners throughout tho
section.
Michael T. Walsh, president of the
North Kensington Business Men's Asso
ciation, presided at a meeting last night
to complete plans for relieving conditions
among the poor, and addresses were
delivered by Mrs, Ketchum, Charles
Irwin and Edward II, Gallaghor. W. A.
Hagan Is chairman of the Belief Com
mittee In charge of the work.
WARNED TO AVOID COLDS
"A heavy overcoat Is easier to carry
than a heavy cold. A wooden overcoat is
heavier than a woolen one, and many a
cough ends In a coflln " This warning
against the treacherous March winds Is
embodied in the weekly health bulletin
of Director Zlegler, of the Department
Cf Health and Charities. It Is the open
season, according to the bulletin, for
.measles, pneumonia, diphtheria and grip.
Philadelphia's are warned that the main
trouble with the current month Is that It
In impossible to tell when March's favor
ite germs will find a breeding ground In
the too slightly protected pedestrian.

Cheer after cheer and loud applauso
from the students lndlcnted their ap
proval of Sunday's message.
MR. HIBBGN SILENT.
When questioned again on his attitude
toward the evangelist, rresldent Hlb
ben said:
"I have nothing further to say about
the controversy over Mr. Sunday speak
ing I na unlvorslty building. I have al
ready heard him preach and will not bo
present nt either of his sermons toaay.
In his sermon Sunday did not refer to
Doctor Hlbben's opposition.
In opening his address, "Billy" apolo
gized for being husky by remarking on
the severity of tho work at tho tabernacle
yesterday.
"I'm a llttlo husky today, boys," he ex
plained, "but we were doing things down
In old Thllly' yesterday that are going
to make the devil sit up and tako no
tice." A murmur of approval swept over tho
audience. Tho evangelist smiled, paused
a moment and then continued:
"Now that's what every one of you
fellows hopes to do somo day. Mako
the devil sit up and tako notice, and
that's what I am going to try to help you
do today. I'm Just going to give you
my Ideas on a few things a preacher
should do and a few things ho shouldn't
do."
"Billy" was accompanied by "Rodey"
and "Jack" Cardiff and Bentloy D. Acker,
his private secretary and pianist. Tho
party left their Spring Garden street
home shortly after 8 o'clock this morning,
and despite reports that the roads be
tween Philadelphia and I'rlnceton were
not In good condition, they made the trip
In tho limousine placed at their disposal
by John Wannmaker. They reached
Princeton shortly after 10 o'clock and pro
ceeded directly to the home of Dr. Charles
It. Erdman. a personal friend of the
evangelist and the man who was Instru
mental Jn obtaining his consent to ad
dress the Btudents.
At Doctor Erdman'a home "Billy" was
Introduced to the committee In charge
of the meeting. They were all ottlclals
of the Theological Seminary and included
President J. Ross Stevenson, Registrar
Puul Martin and tho Rev. Sylvester W.
Beec'i, of the First Presbyterian Church.
HUNDREDS GREET "BILLY."
Although many of the collego men were
unable to hear the evangelist this
afternoon, and are greatly disappointed
because President HlbDen would not per
mit the committee to use the big Alex
ander Hall or the gymnasium of the uni
versity, there seems to be hardly a
student 'who s not strong for Sunday
and ready to cheer him.
So anxious were tho students to hear
Sunday that Alfred Noycs, the poet, who
speaks at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon,
will have but a handful of atudenta
present for hjs lecture. Many of the col
lege men openly declared their Intention
to "cut" the Noyes lecture so as to bo
able to har Sunday.
In preparation for Sunday's arrival
from Philadelphia hundreds of students
have been practicing songs and special
cheers for him during the last few days.
The coming of no man to Princeton ha
stirred the student body as much since
President Wilson returned for his first
visit following his Inauguration as the
chief executive ot the nation.
SONG FOR EVANGELIST.
While groups of students cheered
"Billy" and his party through the snowy
streets upon his arrival here, one crowd
caused much amusement by singing a
parody on "John Brown'a Body," dedi
cated to the evangelist The chorus of
the parody folbws:
Jolly, Jollr, Billy Sundtr,
Wvcom to our town tola Monday;
Six taur ioe wjth n&uff; Hlbben. "
But ibouiMBdp are with you.

reached tho pulpit. Tho seminarians
started to sing tho tabernacle hymns as
Boon as "Rodey" appeared.
When "Billy" Jumped up tho steps of
the pulpit, tho audience applnuded loud
ly. Tho Rev. Dr. J. Boss Steven3on, of
tho seminary, assured hlin that the Insti
tution wns In hardy accord with his work,
nnd the seminary students nssoclatlon
presented him with a handsome Bible.
Doctor Stevenson said: "Wo are In
the heartiest accord with any movement
that will give power to the work of
preaching God's word. Wo rejoice when
we see tho remarkable things Mr. Sunday
has done. We nro delighted to wclcomo
him as n preacher of the old Gospel aa
found In the Bible. Wo nssuro him that
wo nro in entire accord with him and
his work."
Sunday said tho men should search for
words. "I do," he continued, "and not
all of thoso I've found were in Webster.
But thnt doesn't mako any difference If
It gives the devil n run for his monoy.
The prencher should make an effort to
put something Into his sermons that will
make people want to come to hear him
Rem-h to tho common people. If you try
to preach to a couple of giraffes tho other
folk will starve to death.
"Don't use a slecgo hammer to pound
brass tucks. It .shows you don't havo
good sense. Remember you're not preach
ing t win compliments or banquets, but
to win souls. The reason a lot of preach
ers never get nnywhere Is because they
are afraid to preach tho truth. If any
body doesn't like what you preach when
you preach the truth, let them tie up
tlniir pursestrlngs nnd beat It.
Uoo many preachers are going around
on stilts nnd couldn't tench the people
with a 10-fcot pole. There's better ways
of hitting people than by dropping bricks
down on them from a skyscraper."
36,000 HEAR SERMONS.
"Billy" scored nnother notable victory
yesterday when he moved two "men
only" audiences, numbering more than
36,000 persons, to plcdgo their support for
the adoption of a local option law In
Pennsylvania.
The opening attack of tho fight as out
lined ny the evangellnt will consist In
bombarding the Philadelphia Senators
and Representatives at Harrlsburg with
letters and telegrams demanding their
support of the local option bill. To sup
plement this work, "finding lists" wore
distributed by the ushers to nil those who
nttenaea the meetings In order that there
might be no doubt among tho workers
as to whom the letters should bo sent.
In addition to this postcards wera given
to thoso who desired to make their apeal
to the lawmakers on the regulation blank.
DOCTOR DOWRY HELPS.
The evangelist was aided In his attack
on tho "liquor gang" yesterday by the
Rev. Dr. George C. Dowey, organizer of
the "Billy" Sunday Bible classes, who
made a Bhort address from the platform
of the tabernacle at both the afternoon
and evening services.
"Billy" could not restrain his enthu
siasm. At both the afternoon and even
ing services ho Interrupted Doctor Dowey
before he had completed his remarks by
supplementing them with such vehement
exhortations that his audiences fairly
gasped with astonishment,
"Men of Philadelphia, "Billy" shouted,
"you ought to be tired of having the rum
gang run things In this State. You want
local option. Then for heaven's sake get
out on the firing line with your aovernor.
Go out and win, It's up to you."
These remarks were In keeping with
the subject of Sunday's sermon on "Man
or Mutt; Dishwater or Gasoline, Heads
or Tails." The text was from First
Kings, II, 2; "Be thou strong and show
thyself a man." Never had Sunday made
such an appeal to the manhood of the
city, and when he showed how the men
could put themselves to a practical test
at this time by taking their stand agalnBt
"that booze crowd," there were few who
did not Join In cheers and signify that
they were "with him to the finish," as
one man termned it.
"Billy" reverted yesterday to his most
forceful method of preaching. He used
much slang, pounded the pulpit, and
The needle and thread are about to bo
cast nsldo by the girl pupils of the third
grade in nil of Philadelphia's public
schools. Embro'uory Is auout to give way
to manual training, for n course In that
subject Identical with thnt provided for
tho boys has been authorized by the
Committee on Elementary Schools of the
Board of Education.
Tho Important change In tho city's edu
cational system was npnounced today by
jolin c. iTazeo, director of vocational
guidance, who painted tho plctuie of 2.,
000 little ladles BWlnglng tho hammer with
ns much skill as they havo heretofore
shown In needlework. Mr. Fi-uzeo takes
tho Interesting view that n ear's courso
In manual training will prepare the chil
dren to become all tho bettor sowing mis
tresses In future jears when they are
moro adapted to the use of a thimblo.
Ho thinks that tho age of 9 or 10 Is a
bit too early for Involved work In sow
ing, whllo shop exercises of an elementary
typo will prove far more valuable to the
youngsters After they have been pro
moted from tho third grade, and manual
work will be abandoned, then tho samo
course In Bowing as is now provided will
bo begun.
This Is only one of the Important
changes Involved In a general reorganiza
tion of tho Department of Vocational
Guidance which has been approved by
tho Committee on Elementary Schools. In
addition to n revision of the curriculum,
the reorganization will effect a considera
ble navlng of money. According to Dr.
Wllllnm C. Jacobs, Superintendent of
Schools, the annual coat of conducting
this department will be reduced by
1101,000.
It was Doctor Jacobs who submitted
to the board the plan upon which the de
partment will bo reorganized. The
changes, however, were recommended to
Doctor Jacobs by Mr. Frazce, who was
nominated as head of the department a
year ago by Governor Brumbaugh, then
Superintendent of Schools.
The chief saving will bo made possiblo
by a readjustment ,of the teaching force,
eo that tho Instructors will teach sub
jects which are now not Included in their
list of duties. No teachers will bo dis
charged under the new plan.
An assistant director of vocational guid
ance will be appointed, who will be In
charge of training teachers for their now
work. The new office has been created,
but the salary has not yet been deter
mined. Doctor Jacobs has asked tho
board to fill tho vacant position In April
or aa soon thereafter na Is possiblo.
Manual training for boys In the first
three grades will bo under tho supervision
of- tho director of drawing, since tho
course In those grades consists largely
of that subject. Although the snlarles
of vocational teachers are comparatively
high, tho number available Is Insufficient,
and the chief examiner for tho Board of
Education will soon find It necessary to
hold nnother examination to fill a depleted
eligible list.

about how to begin. You will find others,
plenty of them, who would becomo good
givers If shown how to give In a way
that will bring them a blessing. And,

LIKE YOUNG DOCTOR.
"There arc cases, of course, where a
preacher has for years been giving a
doso of everything without nppearlng to
mnke things better or worse. Llko a
young doctor I onco henrd of who was
called to prescribe for a babv. After
the child was dead ho turned to tho
parents nnd said. 'I cannot Imagine
whnt made that baby die I gavo It all
the medicine I liad ever heard of.'
U Is necessary to have an aim In life,
nnd on aim An your preaching. Preach
ing Is somctlmea llko Bhootlng squlrrols,
aim straight nt the object don't flro In
the nlr. Try nnd makr the bell ring so
that It will land under the fifth rib. The
trouble with some scmons Is that they
nre never Intended U hit anything, nnd
they never do.
"Flrat thing necessary Is n text a sub
ject. Some decide on tho subject firet,
then hunt up the text, like the young
'ellow who buys a necktie and then goes
out to buy Bocks to match his tie. Some
chooso a text and then find tho subject
In that text.
"Much depends upon tho man ns to
whnt ho hopes to accomplish and which
method Is best, Just ns It depends whether
tho farmer chops wood, digs pote'oea or
whether he takes nn ax or a hoc.
"Somo can preach for an hour without
text or subject and keep It up for years.
Somo take tho text, nnd from It thoy
preach on anything under tho sun.
"I onco heard of a locnl prencher of this
kind. Ills hobby was Infant baptism.
Tho pastor of the church said to him that
ho (the pastor) would bo away tho follow
ing Sunday, and asked this local preacher
to tako hla place. 'But.' Bald the preacher,
I'll pick out your text.' Tho local
preacher replied, 'All right, any old text
will do.' They were all the snmo to
him. Tho pastor said, 'I want you to
preach on tho text 'All Flesh Is Grass.'
Ho thought that would keep tho young
fellow away from tho water. Sunday

looked over his audience, ajil a child

said, 'Beloved, you will notice this text
divides Itself Into two heads Flesh and
Grass, which reminds ub of two kinds of
baptism, adult and Infant.'
"With many preachers the choosing of
a text is the hardest part of making tho
sermon. Onco they get a good subject
tho sermon almost makes Itself, Just the
samo as tho trimming becomes a small
matter to a woman after sho decides upon
the goods.
"Some preachers find It a great help to
keep a garden for growing sermons; thoy
havo a. place where they plant Ideas and
keep subjects Incubating nil tho time.
"As you read books, find something per
tinent, make n note of It on a slip ot
paper, giving the page. Don't try to be a
Daniel Webster. It won't pay. You'll got
better results If you try to bo yourself
Jesus wns heard by tho common peoplq
gladly. Didn't take a theologian. He
cut up the bread of llfo In small slices
nnd put It in the lower shelf. In trying
to feed two or three intellectual giraffes
In tho congregation you'll find the rest
of the sheep will Btnrve.
"Avoid complexity of outline. The sim
pler you make It the better. Havo your
outline aa simple as a two-foot rule, A
simple outline Is easily understood, not
any harder than to follow a load of hay.
No use putting more wheels In a enrt
than actually are needed. lilglfhceled
shoes and falso hair may win comply
ments, but what good does It do? Don't
havo too much gearln In your plan. Mnko
your preaching as simple as bolting egga.
Don't take a sledgo hammer to drlvo n
tack! '
"You should havo n conviction that God
has given you a message for that very
hour. It may appear very ordinary to
you, but God sometlmei Uses a llttlo worm
to thresh big mountains.
"The prencher Who succccus cntcrca mo
mlnlBtry Intending to succeed. Tho fel
low who goes about seeking nothing In
particular never gets anywhere; he will
wnbblo like a boy learning to rldo n
bicycle.
"Bo cnrclcsi of criticism. Expect suc
cess, by meeting tho conditions under
which It Is found. You nro not preaching
for compliments. You nro not preaching
for bouquets, but to glorify God nnd to
win souls for Christ. Tho fenr of criti
cism makes many a man preach whnt
tho Lord doesn't honor; nlso makci him
flvo on lower ground than Ood wants him
to. For some things tho surgeon's knlfo
Is better thnn brend nnd milk. Paul was
half-killed a good many times beforo ho
said, 'I havo fought a good fight.'
"Always endeavor to carry a sense of
tho preaenco of tho Master. Remember
Ho has use for every kind of a. man.
Your kind may ho ns common as you
think. Don't think you need to bo some
brllllnnt great man In the Bight of jour
fcllowmon, but to bo a vessel meet for
tho Muster's use. In building a houso
moro shlnglo nails are used than spikes
"The Lord hnd use for rugged, Impul
sive. Bclf-wllled, Impatient Peter, ns woll
ns for sensitive, spiritual John, and for
Luko with masterly skill In narrative,
and for Paul with dialectic force.
"Remember thnt there nro two big ,
things that follow each other all through
the Bible. 'Tho Lord sold' and 'It enmo
to pass '
"In preparing this paper tho aim hna
been to glvo that which will bo prac
tical and helpful to young ministers nnd
thoso preparing for tho ministry; to tell
them thnt they cannot learn all thero Is to
know from nny professor. No claim is
madp for completo originality; al! I say,
hownver, 'tas passed through tho cruclblo
of personal experience, nnd much hna
been nRslmllnted from wide acquaintance,
with many kinds of prenchers."
