Kenosha Principal Says No Smokers

Kenosha (Wis.) school boys VIII no
longer use cigarettes. The city principal
OF schools has issued an ironclad edict
that ell users of cigarettes must be ex-
PEELED from the schools and not allowed
to return until they could give evidence
OF reformation. The principal is backed
by the board Of education and it is APP
parent that the smokers win have to
give up the weed or the school,
In defending his action Principal Ham
mill said he had discovered that almost
half the school boys in the city were
users Of tobacco and that the state law
against the sale of cigarettes was no bar
to the boys securing paper pipes. The
practice is growing at an alarming rate
and the influence of the smokers on the
other boys In the school is decidedly
bad. Requests have been treated with
scorn and for this reason the principal
took the decisive step.
Several of the boys have announced
that they will strike II the rule is en-
forced, but the principal has no fear Of
such action and AL must quit smokint

comment on the sentences passed on

swindlers: Some of the comments in

Nine. Humbert and her husband (the
other pair of culprits came off more

citation of its nature. Five years re-

is understood In France, is not only-a
rigorous but terrible penalty Our
own code offers no parallel to 1t and it
is probable that life sentence of penal
seryitude in this country would be far
more easily endured. The solitude of
the prisoner in reclusion is all but abb
solute. The strictest silence is enforced.
Presumably the consultations of religion

dreadful situation-are not entirely
withheld; otherwise the prisoner is for
bidden to speak, even to his guardian.

particular type OF Christianity was
meant Is not clear, but il rs reasonable
TO suppose that the preacher had In
mind an up-to-date Christianity which
was keeping pace with modern Thought
and development. But whatever "Au-
tomobile Christianity" may or may not
be we doubt the dignity and propriety
of the term. And while one Chicago
pastor is talking of Automobile Chris

the automobile feet under tribute and
preaching the good old Gospel from 1t

connection with street meetings in that
city there have been at various times
novel features to draw the crowds and
give the speaker an audience, but we
think this is the first time the automo-

used to haul their unique Gospel ship

that one automobile Is running circum-
specify in the straight and narrow path
and seeking to perform a mission in
the effort to reach the masses with the
Gospel, 1t is worthy of mention. The
public wants to know about the Gospel
automobile.
Rev. DIR. George e. Burlinsame, pas
tor Of the Covenant Baptist church, OF
Chicago, is the man who has opened up
new possibilities for the automobile
Two deep convictions are strikingly OPP
erative in his life: One is that men need
Christ, and the other is that ministry
has failed to improve its full and some
times best opportunity to bring Christ
to men when 1t neglects the open-air
service. Christ did most of His preach
ing in the open air. So did the early
disciples. and so have all the great
Gospel ministers since that day. And
with these two convictions burning in
his breast and squirting him on, he has
for years coupled open air work with
his regular church work All during
the past summer on Sunday evenings
Just prior to the evening services in the
church. the Gospel has been sung and
the Word preached on the street cor

the church is located

cons purchased an automobile runa-
bout. he was quick to enlist 1t in the

its location. The pastor is seated at

chauffeur at his side. The chorister

have helped to make the meetings
success, are shown in the foreground.
There was no attempt at sensational
ism. The automobile attracted atten-
ton, Of course, as IL was run through
the district where the meeting was to
be held, as 1t was intended 1t should,
but the speed of the machine was mod
crate and dignifed. and rolled quickly
mp to the appointed corner. During
the singing and after the preaching
tracts and cards of invitation to the
regular church services were distrib-
xted by the pastors large corps Of
workers. And in Its new field the au-
tcnobfle has proved a pronounced sue
