The Presbyterian church was take l

interests of good citizenship was held.
City Attorney H. l.. De kalb was The
speaker, and his theme was the char
acter of Washington, with some les.
sons from his life. The musical pro-
gram was a choice one, and added
much to the pleasure of the evening.
Mr.. Beasley's solo, "The Sword of
Bunker HILL" being especially appro-
pirate.
Mr.. De kalb stated that it was un.
necessary to give biographical sketch
OF his subject, as Washington name
was so inseparably connected with the
history of this country, and his char
acter and achievements SO well known
as to render it needless. The theme
OF the evening was washington, the
Father OF His Country" and in gencr-
al terms the influence of Washington S

but throughout the entlre history of
the nation to the present time, was
asserted. The mastery manner in

we'll adrdess, when Washington, as
first president of the United States,
was turning over the reins of govern.
ment to succeeding generations, and
an excerpt was given from that ad.
dress.
In commenting upon the counsel OF
Washington at that time, the speaker
said in part:
THE nation has grown from hand
full of ColOnists on the Atlantic sea
board, to a nation OF eighty million
souls; till the ag-Washington's flag
floats in every zone; till our navy is
mistress of the seas, our army with

worldly standard, and America is not
ed for it's enlightenment, it's genius
it's culture, its refinement, and yet il
has not outgrown the need of needing
the statements of our beloved Wash
ingtOn."
An appeal was made in behalf Of
good citizenship to enhance the mora
tone of the community, and for a
united effort to promote the welfare

About GOO years ago Japan was

one of the things which it seems
difficult for the public mind to grasp
is that there is decided difference be-
tween the knot and the mile. 1t is
certainly about time to have 1t thor
oughly understood that the two are
not the same thing. 1t seems easy
enough to remember that a mile is only
about 81 per cent OF knot, the latter
being approximately 6,0s2 feet in
length. while the statute mile measures
:. $50 feet. Three and one-haH miles
are equal, within small fraction, to
three knots. The result of this diner
ence, of course, IS that the speed OF n
vessel In miles per hour Is always con
sidernbIy larger than when stated In
knots. and the confusion of the terms
sometimes gives rise to rather remark
able claims Of speed performance.
when a twenty knot ship. for example
Is lightly mentioned, It should be re
meubcred that this really means
little over twenty-three miles. Similar
Iy with higher figures, which are often
gIfbly enough stated, the difference pc
tween the terms Is worth bearing IN
mind. 1t will help to guard against
the forming Of ridiculous estimates OF
a vessels capabilities.
