NAVY YARD OMCERS
SCOFF AT WORRY .
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. More than 11,000
were unemployed. Cities with higher
proportions of persons working on part
t,rne are Wilkes-Barre, 32.3 per cent.;
Pittsburgh, 20 per cent.; Milwaukee, 2S 9
per cent., and Bridgeport, Conn., 19.9 per
cent.

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

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.

Johnny Kubstz looked out of the window

laughed. But his laughter stopped sud

running down the street In wrathful

cease firing and surrender, but the latter
replied with n right-hand swing toward
