Lessons to Be Learned From Strict
Quarantine.
Sunday morning Rev. ]. S. Haw-
kins, pastor of the First Methodist
church. using. Nehemiah 4:16-17 for
his text spoke on Lessons to Be
earned From Strict Quarantine" !"
He said in part:
Nehemiah, moved by a love of coun-
try. went back from Persia to Jerusa-
lem for the purpose of rebuilding his
native city. No man can be recogniz-
ed as a real citizen who does not love
his country and her government.
The work of rebuilding the walls
was great. and the opposition was
great. Nehemiah made Of every sol
der a laborer and of every laborer a
soldier, and had each man to labor
with one hand while in the other he
held some weapon of war. He thus
instituted one of the most strict
ouarantines ever known, which result

done. and with good will many more
pennies were added II the HOuCk fund.
Secretary Olmstend carefully guard
ed this addition TO the fund for another
twelve months and then at the annual
meeting at Cedar Rapids. Ia. last year
the members became somewhat seri-
Gus about the fund. It was suggested
that the money be used for some good
purpose a basis of Il fund for n home.
A resolution was presented and adopt
ed 10 the effect that Il delegation he
sent to the national meeting, asking
that a national home he built i'm Iowa.
The proposition ut once met with
hearty and unanimous approval by the
national council.
A third collection was then taken
and this time dollars took the place
Of pennies. drafts commenced to roll I'm
to Secretary Olmstead and throughout
the last year the local lodges OYER the
state have contributed to the Houcll
fund, and now big deposit is in the
hands OF the treasurer credited TO the
national building fund. The travelling
men all over the state are enthusiastic
over the prospects Of new building In
the state and the chief interest ut the
Cedar Rapids meeting will be conferred
about the location OF the home.
Comparatively few people know
about the L. c. T, as it has blown
its horn" but little. so to speak Here
are some of the benefits which come
from its organization:
If Il member is injured his case IS
looked into Immediately by the officers
Of the local council and he draws so
a week as long rs he is disabled. If
he dies as the result of an accident his
wife or beneficiary receives $4,000 cash
and SO a week for fifty-twO weeks. or
$4,000. If he dies from natural causes
and leaves his wife or family depend
ent his wife will receive a pension of
$3.50 year as long as she lives unmar-
ried and each OF his children receives
$40 a month till sixteen years OF age
Ample provision will be made in the
annual dues of each member in the
world for the support of the national
home. This travelling mems order is
now organizing in every state in the
Union.

+. W. Houck Of Sheldon is the famed
travelling man for whom the original
eight pennies were subscribed. HOuck
struck Sioux city four years ago with
a draft OF $50 i'll his pocket and not a

men learned OF his predicament early
IA the day. and, for Il joke and for the
purpose OF having some fun at his eX-

would be swindIed. The banks and
some of the Sioux City stores were also
notified. and poor Houek found himself
unable to obtain money for his draft.

Of the order suggested that a penny

cents were contributed. and Houck re-

led to hear bells struck beneath the
water several miles distant.
THE noises made by the engines OF
The liner when she is travelling at great
speed do not seriously affect the work
ing Of the instruments. while when she
IS in a fog and naturally travelling at
/ reduced speed this obstacle is prac-
tically obviated. the result being that
the officer holding the receiver can
Judge almost exactly the distance he
IS from the warning bells. He can also
tell exactly the direction from which
the sounds come. two advantages that
submarine signaling has over wireless
telegraply.
There is no doubt that IN the devel-
opment and application of this system
lies the solution of the problem Of nav
igatiOn In the densest OF fogs. By
means of numerical code not only
can warning, but information as well,
be conveyed with great accuracy. For
instance. on the voyage that ended at
New York on Tuesday (AIay 30) l was
on the bridge when the Kaiser cleared
German waters and again was there
as she neared the American mainland.
When four miles distant from the
mouth Of the river WeSer / plainly
made out the signals conveyed from
the Tghtship there.
As we neared Nantucket l had the
receivers to my ears, and when we
were about four miles distant from the
lightShip off that place l caught the sig
nal sixty-siX-siX bells, a pause and
l.
lightship code signal. When we were
about the same distance from the Fire
island light l caught the signal sixty
eight, the code number of that place.
and again as we approached Sandy
Hook the Sandy Hook code number,
ffty-one, rang just as clearly and plain
ly.
by the use OF this system of sub
marine bells the whole coast between
New York and Boston sends out warn
lngs for miles. and there seems no ex-
cuse why the same conditions should
not obtain along the coasts of all ma
lions. Another use these bells can be
put to. In my mind, is in naval warfare,
especially with reference to the ap-
proach OF submarine torpedo craft. 1t
would be the easiest thing In the world
TO keep track OF their movements, and
the danger of their landing a telling
blow would be reduced to minimum.
Great Britain, Germany and Italy have
taken up the system, which they are In
stalling along their coasts, while in
Canada the ST. Lawrence IS guarded
with the bells from the Atlantic to
Quebec"
