Ford's Eagle Boats
Win Experts' Praise
Washington, Dec. 28.—Trials of the
Eagle boats have convinced navy con
structors that the little craft turned
out by the Ford plant nt Detroit to
fight submarines are worthy of taking
their pface as permanent units of the
fleet.
It was learned to-day that official
reports to the Navy Department giv
ing full details of the trials show
that In speed, seaworthiness and
maneuvering the new boats exceed
all contract requirements.
An average sustained speed of 18.3
knots was made by the boat used by
the navy experts In their tests. The
vessel showed no signs of "bucking"
under this gait, or when tho speed
was forced still higher for short
periods.
Value of Boy's Life Is
Put at $2,500 by Court
Now York, Dec. 28.—Ruling that
a juary award of $3,750 was excessive
for the life of a six-year-old boy
killed here several months ago by
a motortruck, the Appellate Divis
ion of the Supreme Court yesterday
ordered a new trial unless the lad's
father agreed to accept payment of
$2,500 from the Johp Eichler Brow
ing Company, which owend the
truck.
Tho decision sustained the argu
ment of the company's counsel that
since the child had never attended
sliool and his father "never spent a
cent on medical men for him" the
verdict was excessive.
Tho father, who is a shoemaker,
originally sued for $20,000.

YOUNG PEOPLE FORMING A
" NEW ERA MOVEMENT' NOW
Presbyterian Members of Christian Endeavor Sosieties Plan
New Union Organization
Young People's societies of the
Presbyterian church have responded
to the call to prepare themselves for
the day that has dawned with the
coming of the world peace by uniting
with all forces of the denomination in
allied strategy under the name of
"The New Era Movement". A special
challenge has been offered ail tire
Presbyterian young people to become
a. part of this great forward move'
ment by enrolling as "Comrade of New
Era" under the fourfold covenant em
bodying the following:
1. Daily Intercession for the suc
cess of the movement and the cause
for which it stands.
2. Hearty co-operation in the prac
tical promotion of the work by the
advantageous placing of posters, dis
tribution of publicity materials, etc.
3. Careful study of the whole task
of the church.
4. Active participation In the Vic
tory Drive In March to provide suffi
cient funds to carry fprward the
whole work of the whole church
Each young people's society is
asked to form a Company of Com
rades, led by their Captain President,
the individual members declaring
their allegiance to the movement by
accepting a personal covenant of
prayer, study, service, and giving.
Thus Is a challenge great enough to
demand the best that any young per
son can give.
The department of Young People's
Work, at denominational headquar
ters, Is co-operating In this move
ment, and has sent full Information
to each society on Its records. lt
may be possible, however, that some
societies have failed to receive a let
ter with enclosures of literature, or
that they desire additional litera
ture.
The Rev. William Ralph Hall, of
Philadelphia, Adjutant of the Com
rades, a prominent Endeavor In con
ference work, has controll of the
vast amount of advance information
in the special work. He Is a popular
speaker at summer conferences, C.
E. conventions and rallies in church
work.

Letters to the Editor
WHO IS THE PROFITEER ?
I There has been a great deal said
| about the grocer as a profiteer, but
inot a word about the drygoods,
| clothing and shoeman, and many
j others. Aren't these goods just as
■essential to the body as groceries?
;The grocer is no more responsible
| for the high price of his goods than
| either of the other lines of mer
■chandlse, and yet he is constantly
being held before the public as a
robbdr in big profits. His gross
profits are from 20 to 25 per cent.,
while the other lines mentioned,
have, by a careful report through
out the country shown to be -from
I TOO to 300 per cent. Which would
!you call the profiteer? At the very
I outset of tho war *je wholesale and
j retail grocers' selling prices were
regulated, but I have never seen
'where the prices of any of the others
have been fixed, or even regulated.
I There were many merchants and job
jbers in the above lines mentioned
I that had great quantities of goods
|on hand at a low price, but they
I could sell them for whatever price
they cared to ask, and Judging from
I the outlandish prices, and their big
profits, many of them did not hesi
itatc. Of course, as the old saying
I goes, look after tTe little things and
, the big ones will take ca-o of them-
I selves, which sccr.is to be a fait ,n
I this case.
j Look after the grocer that is mak
(ing 20 to 25 per cent, profit, but
:let the other with 100 to 300 per
icent. go by, unnoticed and unknown.
,1 am not objecting to the regulation
I of prices, but why regulate a few and
not all, especially in the necessaries
|of life? The grocer is expected to
ido more favors than,any other mer
chant I know of, and is given the
leust consideration. He is expected to
deliver a box of toothpicks, a loaf of
bread, or anything else, and extends
credit in many ways, often acting as
banker, loaning his customers money
to pay the coal man, doctor or rent
man, and yet there have been many
people that be has done all this for,
that when they have the cash they
take it to the cash-and-carry-man.
If there are any who may hap
pen to read this and want to get
into this get-rich-quick business, I
will be glad to sight theru to many
good ones I know of for sale
throughout the state. I am not in
the retail grocery business, neither
am I selling grocery stock, but I
know of no other cluss of merchants
that put in longer hours, harder
work and more worry with as little
pay as the grocer. I know whereof
I speak for I am in close touch with
them nearly every day in the year.

TO TALK ON NEW
TIMELY SUBJECT
Dr. Harris to Preach on New)
Year Subject at Mar
ket Square
As a subject for the last Sabbath o<
the old year Dr. Hawcs nas chosen a
theme In which there Is much Interest.
"Will the religion of Jesus Christ be
superceded?" Is a question many have
been asking in these days when il
seemed as if Christianity had failed.
If there is to be something better to.
take its place what will that some
thing better be? What is the hopo
for the church a>nd the world.
Sunday night a wonderful service
of song will be held in the church.
It will be wonderful because the con
gregation is going to do most of the
singing, and most of the service will
be singing. A program has been ar
ranged which gives the story of the
Tillth of Christ in the great hymns of
tho church. The town, the night, ths
shepherds, the magi, and all other
great features which we associate
with this event of events will be set
fortli in song. Dr. Hawes expects to
give briefly the story of each hymn.
Closing tho service the choir will
sing "Ring Out Wild Rells."
Tuesday night Market Square en
deavors will hold a Watch-Night
meeting. The devotional hour will be
In charge of he pastor. Mrs. Heefne?
will aid In the music. Chaperones
have been provided, who will see that
all the younger people get home
safely soon after the dawning of tho
New Year. Others than tho endea
vors', and others than Market Square
folks, are expected to be at this meet
ing where "good-bye" will be said to
old, 1918—a year of wonders.
As a preparation for the first ser
vice of 1919 Dr. Hawes has devlded
the membership among 83 different
visitors. These men and women art
expected to get into touch with every
home in the city where Market Squaro
church has members, and urge upon
all to make the first Sabbath of tho
New Year a day of church going.
