that a menMCe of Uurope by the domin

this nineteenth century a menace also
to the safety of thl3 nation. America
manifested this perception by throwing
its entire power into the scales to Join
in the suppression of that menace of

Itha freedom and peace at Iiurope, the

It is becoming moro evident each

that the expectation existing here of
possible clashes between the Ameri

has no foundation In fact,
ThePreslcJent has made an agree

he has talked and the other American

"I ' further believe that the most

10 Slap-Stop Controversy
Editor. Evening Public Ledger f
Sir The P. K. T. seems to liavo
undcrgono a true conversion at
last. Certainly tho company does
not desire, by Its latest car-front
slgji, to Increase tho number of
passengers It carries. Tho furtlvo
hesitancy of the average man (who
played golf last Sunday Instead of
going to church) was quite appar
ent this morning ns he stood open
mouthed before the vestibule of nis
downtown car,
And tho fine odor of sanctity was
to be perceived even In the sad,
sweet smile of the conductor as he
bowed his congregation to tjielr
straw-seat pews and took up the
usual collection. One even expect
ed the announcement that this
morning's offering was for the P.
It. T. Mission In Wailhabad, India,
I have not looked up Proverbs
xll, 19. I am not going to look
tt up. Because, whatever It may
be, I know It cannot be half so
significant as tho Sixth Command
ment, nor half so good skip-stop
propaganda as the storV of tho
first Passover. If the company
painter had striped the poles with
red Instead of yellow, oven angels
might fear to criticize tho system.

IV on the vittues of skip-stops.
You will remember that In Letson No. 1
I. you began your research with tho
admonition to "Know tho Truth." Les
son II told you of "Skip-Stops in Other
Cities." In this the merits of the sys
tem in some cities wcie set forth, others
being neglected. Study of theso piesum
ably were postponed for a later time.
Then, in Lesson III, tho power of public
opinion was impressed upon you under
the caption, "Your Say," and you were
advised that "You Bide and Rule, and
Finally You Shall Say if Skip-stops Stay
or Go."
This brings us again to the lesson for
today, No. IV. In which we are provided
an opportunity to review a part of I.es
son III.
Tlie lesson for today appears In large
type on the fiont of trolley cars of
the Rapid Transit Company, lending,
"Pioverbs xll. 19." Inside the cars re
main the signs "Y"ou Tilde nnd rtule."
We will turn nbw to the lesson; which
may be found on 'page 719 of tho Ameri
can standard version of tho Holy Bible.
The nineteenth verse of tne twelfth chap
ter reads as follows:
"The lip of truth shall be established
forever ;
"But a lying tongue is but for a
moment."
Having been told to ' know the truth,"
wo now learn that truth shall prevail
finnlly, no matter how great the obstacles
that may be thrown In Its path.
You must remember, children, that it
Is the nineteenth verpe which must be
studied under the rules of the teacher.
The lesson for today has nothing what
ever to do with the twenty-eighth verse
of the same chapter, which reads as
follows :
"In the way of righteousness is life ;
"And In the pathway thereof Js no
death."
Here endeth the fourth lesson.
Skip-stops at Catharine stieet and
Washington avenue were eliminated on
the Sixtieth street line Oils afternoon by
the Rapid Transit Company.
Three weeks 'ago Mrs. Sallle Smith,
wife of a real estate dealer at Sixty
second and Christian streets, -was killed
near the Catharine street skip-stop, and
a few days later a nine-year-old boy
was killed at another skip-stop near
Sjxtleth street and lrchwood avenue.

Belle Coolldge, of the United States
army, and Frank Tinney, warrior-actor,
were speakers.
Incomplete returns from captains In
the north central district, under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Llewellyn N. Ca-'

members have been enrolled by the
canvassers. Remarkable results are be
ing obtained by Mrs. Josephine Median
and' her corps of sixty workers, who ar
In charge of factories and big plants In
the north central district. Mrs. Median

To the Red Cross Dr. Hart gave much
