OVER ALIEN SPIES No Secrets There for Evil Disposed Visitors to Dis cover, and Strangers Are Welcomed Within the Gates of League Island. Incipient spy fever, engendered by Anxiety over the- relations between this country nnd Germany, wilt vanish for luck of victims, so fnr ns fears for tho afety of tho secrets of tho Philadelphia Navy Turd nro concerned. According to the yard oftlclals, alt tho German spies In the service couldn't learn anything use ful at League Island. There Is nothing there to learn, they say. Tho Information wilt quiet tho fears of many of the sus picious, who have been working up erlous cases of spy fever on the thought that tho Government's secrets at the Philadelphia yard might fall nto the hands of hostile ngentB Thoy viewed with alarm the easy en , trance that vlsltois find when they call at League Island. The possibilities offered German spies behind the open gates of the Navy Tard alarmed them. It would be easy for the workmen employed In the machine and repair shops to sequester valuable knowledge of the Government's methods of boat building. Who knew what mysterious secrets were being car ried out In false boot heels and under hat crowns of the men employed In the yard? Some of the more susdIcIoui. who have e. superficial knowledge of tho ways of the yard, even went so far as to de nounce the perfunctory nature of the ex amination of packages carried out by workmen, by the guard at the gates. "There might be plans Inside those par cels," they said. "But what doei the guard do? Just asks what's In them." Suspicions went further than that, how ever. There was a fairly welt credited story that a German governess In tho family of a lieutenant commander was looking aftc the commander's children only because It gave her a chance to Warn valuable things about the United States navy. Sho had the freedom of the yard, the story ran, and nothing was safe from her appraising eye. However, official announcement has been made that there Is nothing to It. Lieutenant Commander Hunt, assistant to the commandant of tho navy yard, explained that no one should worry. "German spies, or spies from other countries, would learn nothing here," said Commander Hunt, "because there Is ncthlng to learn. Wo make no effort to guard the yard carefully. Any one who pleasei may como In. Now you," he said to his questioner, "you might bo n German spy: but you weren't stopped at the gate. There Is nothing going on hero that we caro to conceal. There aic nu secrets." "But no one save workmen are al lowed Inside tho shops," It was ob jected Commander Hunt smiled. "It would In terrupt tho work," he said. BURGLAR ALARM FALSE Instead of a Robbery It Was a "Safe ty First" Stunt. "Robbers! Burglars have robbed us!" This was the thought of Miss Anna McCue. in charge of the Kensington Suf frage Shop, a branch of the Equal Fran chise Society, at 1603 Kensington avenue, when she tried to open the door today and couldn't. It was fastened tightly, evidently by some great weight on tho Inside. "Maybe It was the nntls," suggested a sjmpathetlc man. who saw her strug gling with the door. "I'll open It for you," volunteered an other. "I insist," offered stilt another. They nil tried, but the door wouldn't budge. Persons came from doorways, scenting a robbery, until nearly 300 of them. Including four policemen, were gathered In front of the building. Finally little Jimmy Mullen wns hoisted to the transom nnd squeezed through. Jumping to the floor on the Inside. . He opened the door, which had been held by n, chair jammed against the knob. No burglar tools were found, hut a note from a mnll carrier, saying that as he had found the door open early this morning, he decided to apply "safety first and let the chair fall against the door as he went out. 20 Per Cent, of Workers on Part Time Almost 20 per cent, of Philadelphia's wage earners were working on p.irt time In March and April, according to an an nouncement of the Federal Bureau of Labor Ssatlstlcs, which shows that of 137,214 kago earners canvassed K.907 had part-time employment.

TRAGEDY OF IDA RIEHL SHOWS LACK OF PROPER EDUCATION, SAYS EXPERT Case Shows N cccssity for' Teaching Youth Evolutidnary Processes of Life, Avers D Abbey. By DR. CHARLOTTE ABBEY . Sunerlntendrnt tor '.'O ,venrs of the Woman's Directory, which anmiafly takes care of nun rtrcils of slrls none liay The case of Ida Weill is ft striking Illus tration of the effects of not giving boys nnd girls clear Ideals regarding the evo lutionary truths of life, In order thnt they may be strong to control those Instincts which the human rnce shares In com mon with animal life. The day of Judg ment thnt people are looking for as tho visible coming of Christ Is much more likely to be found to bo tho day of Judg ment In man's own heart, whenever con science is Bumclcntty awakened, to see that all evil Is the result of failure to live up to tho evolutionary Ideals of life which Jesus taught. The human rnce Is energized phvslcally by tho Instincts of tho animal kingdom. These Instincts In relation to the func tional powers of the body are essentially good nnd necessary for racial preserva tion, but In the human race the self conscious development of the povvris of reason, love, deshe, will, energy, memory nnd Imagination render It necessary that nulmnl functions nnd Instincts be held In control Otherwise the mental powers with which man Is gifted cause him to ob struct tho vital processes of life by min istering to personal desire, nnd thus bring nbout degenerative racial Influences In stead of regenerative ones This thought. In Its practical t elation to the Lord's Pinei, Is only beginning to dawn on the woild. IDA'S CASE. Ida ttlehl Is un Instance of the large majority of people who mistake the ani mal attraction of sex foi the love that will eventually develop between the sexes when the evolutionary purpose of life Is pinctlcallv recognized. Cnie should be taken not to confuse girls of Ida's t.vpe with the girls who sell themselves The latter aio-sex perverts, bereft of that normal instinct which will in time, under wise direction, uplift tho lace IJo vc not see In Ida's sud experi ence tho hlstoij of ancestral tendencies belonging to both the nnlir.nl and the hu man kingdoms, the uncontrolled sex Im pulse, the Instinct of revenge, the keen perception of Injustice, the knowledge of disgrace'.' And do we nut know that If this girl Is wisely guided to n higher realization of life's put pose through n lerognltlon of her own mistaken action that aho will bequeath mental and moral tendencies to her unborn child that will JKL. M J'- srli -m ! ml, 7A V 1 ? v ' a DR. CHARLOTTE ABBEY counteract the effect of those tendencies that led her to crime. GUARD AGAINST JlBVnNGE. Justice to her unborn child can take the place of n sense of Injustice done to herself the sense of dlsgincc, and glvo place to the Inspiration of hope given by tho knowledge that when Jesus snld "Ho e perfect even ns our Father In Heaven Is perfect," he excluded no one. for this perfection can only be attained through tho fulfilment of the Law of Love that Is Intended to take tho place of the spirit of revenge With n practical knowledge of evolutionary processes, physical nnd mental, II will cleat ly be seen thnt evo lutional Ideals snnctlfv all bodily func tions b.v requiring the thinker who dwells in the human power to keep each function sacred to Its sperinl use. Swc dcnboig clenrlv taught this truth. The divine law of love to God (our Ideal of nil that Is good here ond beautiful) and thought foi others Is that which, when obeyed, controls the phvslcnl and mcntnl forces of life, preventing misuse of bodily functions. This phvslologlcnl nnd psychological action of dlvlno law must enter our own system of education for children. When tho law that Jesus upheld as the greatest of all laws, and which has been continually mado secondary to religious doctrines. Is brought Into active opera tion, being made the test of faith, then Christianity will understand, and laws of man's making to punish and prevent crime will not bo needed.

POLICEjyrlp ' The bond of friendship is very stiong between John Macklnlplsklsky nnd John ny Kubstz. If John Macklnlplsklsky gets In tiouble, Johnny Kubstz shares his woes.

And so when John Mncklniplsklsky picked up a number of brickbats and threw them at milk liotiles on doorsteps, Johnny Kubstz looked out of the window of his homo on Monmouth street and laughed. But his laughter stopped sud denly when he saw Policeman Ed Madden running down the street In wrathful mood.

The blow shattered the air and tho next Instant Macklnlplsklsky found himself on the sidewalk with the neigh borhood revolving at a rapid rate. And then Johnny Kubstz came to the rescue.
