What to do with a class Of customers
who in winter time persist in swarming
around store stove is perplexing ques-
tion. That this custom is anything but
pleasant to lady customers who come in
TO purchase there il no doubt. On the
other hand these men who thoughtlessly
block up store are equally good custom
ers who would be insulted il ifrequested to
vacate. Unfortunately store stoves are
generally placed in the center Of store
and one can scarcely come to make q
purchase without every one in the room
being acquainted with the nature Of the
sale. Most stores have small rooms in
the rear that could be well utilized for
this purpose or il not why not have
stoves in the rear part Of the store.
Thoroughly scrubbing the floor every
day or two would have . wholesome ef-
feet in keeping out an ordinary lounger.

Rev Alexander Kent. Of the Peoples

Single Tax
Socialism said DR.. Kent, looks upon
human nature as essentially good and
capable Of being reused 10 highest and
grandest achievements by those consider
atoms which have supreme regard for
common welfare. II believes, therefore,
in the prac,iCabiiity Of universal cO-opera-

The single tax theory distrusts human
nature II assumes that any form Of
society which should take from individuals
the opportunity 10 use and exploit other
individuals for ends or personal gain,
pecuniary advantage, would strike at the
chief motive power in human progress.
II holds thereupOn the permanencc of the
competitive or individUaliStici in the struggle
for national advancement.

Interesting Reports at the Tract
society's Meeting.
Rev. Drs. Mackay -Smit ha nd Rice Made
Addresses on the Years Work
and the Futures Plans.

A largely attended meeting in the inter
ests Of the American Tract Society was
held yesterday afternoon at st. Johns
Episcopal Church, corner of and six
tecnth streets northwest
The meeting was In the nature of an
anniversary OF the founding of the society,
similar meetings being held in some. one
of The Protestant churches of the city
every year.
In his Introductory remarks the rector,
Rev. DR. Macka ysmith. spoke very in
terestingly OF the organization of the
society in 1925. He also referr ed TO
the vast amount of work done and the
field covered. Through the efforts of
the society the word, he said, had been
carried into all parts of Asia, darkest
Africa. and the islands of the sea.
He llkened the great army of workers
| TO the many army corps of the late war
which could not possibly have worked
success fully without enCourI cement and
supplies. In this connection he stated
| that ii was Impossible To devote the co!lec-
tion. as it was already pledged, TO the
American Tract Society. but hoped that
| those interested in the work would con-
tribute 500 TO the society.
Rev DR.. Mackay- Smith theh introduced

York, the missionary secretary OF the
| society. Il

! the subject, DR.. Rice paid high Compli-
ment To Rev Dr. MaCkay Smith, who was,
| for some time one OF the efficient seCre-
! tarics OF the society In New York.
The chief ana only aim OF the American
| Tract Society, DR.. Rice said, was to
disseminate the Gospel OF God throughout
| the world. The work OF It's missionaries
| was not, he said, to organize and estah-
| lish churches, but merely to visit any
and all persons, no matter OF what re-
| ligiOus creed, and distribute among
| them the word OF God.
| unique feature of the work OF the
society was the printing of the word
in more than $50 languages and dialects.
| This made the work among foreigners COM
| parativcly easy, as they were always CRATE
| ful to find the SCriptu ure in their own
| tongue.
In conclusion, be gave a brief account
! of the work during the last year. During
| this time 209 missionary colporterS were
employed, for the whole or part OF the
! year, in 81 States. Territories and Man

Some criticism has been made of Mr.

The statement was made 10 The Times

them being Mr.. c. e. HeSsier. one Of thoEe
whose names were mentioned as of men
who had been displaced.
Mr.. HcSsler said that IL was a fact
that Mr.. Shears had two sons on the work,
and that one OF them is there vet. The
two sons were working up 10 Friday last
when all then cnga ged. about ten or

This he said. was because the work had

DREAMS AND DREAMERS.
Talk Before the Y. NJ. c. A. by Rev.
e. Alvin Smith.


Rev. G. Alvin Smith pastor of the Peck
Memorial Church, addressed the Young
Mems Christian Association at Foundry
NJ. f. Church yesterday afternoon.
"A Dream and Its Realization was his
subject. and Il text he selected Genesis
Xxxvii 10, Behold this dreamer cometh."
Dr. Smith spoke in part as folio ows:
"All young people dream; youth is the
time OF dreams. As the world opens
before us, and with its consciousness Of
power and strength, visions arise OF what
may be won and achieved. We see our
selves in fancy realizing our desires; gain
ing fortune, fame, goodness, and worth.
UNLESS our lot has been unusually hard
we all put on Joseph's garment and dream
how great and successful we shall be;
how noble. how heroic of the great good.
We shall surpass all who have preceded
IFS. Flushed with effort ard victory we
shall stand on the pinnaCleS OF our hopes
and aspirations. Idle dreaming. as that
word now is III derStCod, viii accomplish
little or nothing: bat dreams OF youth or
manhood backed by a brave heart, deter
mined effort aud trust in God viii accom-
plish everything they attempt.
Every man OF force and energy is born
to conquer circumstances and the fierce
world about him. Life is real, life is
earnest and The grave is not its goal.
Are You of the lonesome and depressed
and ready to give up? Take heart. See
the tramp!cd grass and snapped twigS;
others have gone this way before you. Go
on doing right and nothing is dismaycd.
Let there be no might havC-bcen in our
lives. but what might have been shall be.
Look ahead. Let us keep on dreaming
and doing great and noble deeds, but if
God should so arrange the happenings OF
/ life that we suffer and are baffled and disap-
pointed before our dreams are realized hold
on and trust.
Judge II OF the youth by feeble sense,
But trust him for ms grace;
Behind a frowning providence
Behold his smiling face
