DAY NURSERY IS
NOW IN OPERATION
BROWNS0N SETTLEMENT HAS
BOON FOR MOTHERS
Can Leave Their Children In Good
Hands While They Earn Their
Bread-Older Ones Are Sent
to Near by School

The formal opening of the day nurs-
erv of the Brownson house was held
yesterday, when friends of the instltu-
ton called and inspected the new build
ing.
Brownson House Settlement associa-
ton has carried on settlement and CLUB
work for several years and about two
wears ago built club house on jack
son street.
For some time the need of day
nursery where the mothers who work
during the day could leave their chill
dren has been felt, especially since the
Kings Daughters day nursey has been
removed to another part of Los An
geles.
The women of the Brownson house
have rented the cottage at Az Vignes
street, the yard of which forms an l.
with that of the settlement house, and
have fitted it up for a day nursery
where boys and girls from one to
twelve years will be cared for during
the day.
The children of school age will be
sent to a nearby school, and Will De
given their lunch at the nursery.
Mrs. Coleman has been secured as
matron for the new work.
Before leaving for the east Bishop
Conaty greatly approved of the PLAN
A bout 5000 was donated by the visit
ors yesterday for the work.
The guests were received by Mrs. c.
L. Whillpe, Miss Mary Workman, Miss
Kate Fitzwilliam and Miss Marie Null
lin, assisted by the club workers.
Punch was served by Misses Ruth Kays
and Murietta beneath the trees in the
yard.

CONSCIENCE LIKE
MARINERS CHART
Still Small Voice Is Compared to a
Watch That Does Not Always
Tell Right Time, but Yet
Is Useful

"Conscience" was the topic of the
sermon preached by Rev. T. G. Mar
shall, rector of the Church of the Neigh
borhood, last evening He said in part:
Libraries of books have been writ
ten on the subject of conscience ana
philosophers have been divided into
schools by their definitions, but a sufti-
cient definition for us is that consei-
ence Is the voice of God within us to
tell us what we ought and what we
ought not to do. Life, as the early
Christians were fond of saying, is a
way, conscience is the sign-board at
the forks to keep us from going aside,
Life as moralists are fond of saying, Is
a voyage; conscience is the ships COM
pass to keep us in the true course.
The other day the Manchuria went
ashore on the coast of Oahu, few
days later the transport Sheridan went
ashore not far from the same spot. The
explanation offered was that the two
ships encountered strange and power
full currents that turned them out Of
their course. 1t Is most serious thing
to get out of the course In ones life;
there are currents strong and danger
Gus, OF temptation, unwholesome COM
Partnerships, business and social COM
plications. To be DETECTED by these is
always TO risk the peril of the rocks.
Conscience Is the mariners chart
that indicates the currents flow.
"rhe whole success OF life depends
upon the right care and the right use

CAR CRASHES INTO HACK
NEAR ARCADE DEPOT
DRIVER CLINGS TO SEAT, BUT
HORSES ARE KILLED
Early Morning Smashup at Maple
Avenue and Fifth Street, Pico
Heights Motorman Falling to See
Vehicle as 1t Turned Across Track

A hack belonging to the Original
Tallyho stables on Broadway collided
at Maple avenue and Fifth street at
about $3.50 a. m. Sunday with Pico
Heights car No. 81, westbound from
the Arcade station.
The occupants of the hack were Mr.
and Mrs. ]. M. Collins, but both escaped
injury.
However, the horses were so mutt
lated that Patrolman Wallace found II
necessary to shoot them.
The driver of the hack, S. H. Hackett,
had been following behind an east
bound Maple avenue car which turns
at Fifth street.
AS this point was reached the driver
drew out to the left, when he saw a
swiftly approaching Pico Heights car.
which he realized was so close upon
him that it would be useless to attempt
to completely avoid a contact with
1t, and so he brought to play some
ready tact that saved the occupants OF
the carriage but endangered his own
life.
Instead of attempting to pull his team
away from the course of the car. as
would have beeu the first impulse,
Hackett permitted the car, which was
going at the rate of twenty miles an
hour, to meet him with a front col
lision.
The force of the contact drove the
pole violently through the seat bottom
and shattered the doubletrees to
atoms, but no injury was done to the
occupants of the vehicle.

SALVATION ARMY COLLECTS
FOR HARVEST FESTIVAL
HOMES, SHELTERS AND BAR
RACKS NEED SUPPORT
Workers Are Asking Not Only for
Cash, but Articles That Can Be
Converted Into Money-Proper
Credentials Should Be Asked For

The local branch of the Salvation
Army will begin the collection for the
annual harvest festival this week. AL
the collectors will carry with them
proper credentials.
In It's appeal for the fund, the Army
asks:
Have yor ever heard of poor. trou-
bled, sorrowful, perplexed, hopeless
man or woman appealing fruitlessly to
the Salvation Army?
do you know that something like
100000 just such people are upheld
by this wonderful organization?
do you know that in twenty-three
different homes fallen women are each
year restored by the score to honor and
a life of useful purity?
do you know that in three different
havens little children, all the way
from nursing babies to sturdy boys
and girls, are being succored?
"Do you know that scattered over the
country are seventy-eight shelters in
which nightly some 5000 homeless, often
hopeless, men or women are cared for?
"Do you know that these institu-
tions represent but a mere fraction
of the charitable work successfully
carried on by the Salvation Army in
the United States?
THE Army just now is making a spe-
cial effort to raise funds, and they are
asking for not only cash. but articles
that can be converted into cash."

HEART TO HEART TALKS FROM VARIOUS PULPTTS

Of conscience. Some will find fault
with conscience because apparently It
is not always reliable. one mans con-
science let's him do what another mans
conscience tells him Is wrong; what
my conscience allows me to do today
1t may refuse me next year; sometimes
conscience is utterly bewildered and
has nothing clear to say as to the way.
What kind of divine voice is this? men
will say; a divine voice should be as
clear as the sun In the sky.
But It Is just so with watches. There
Is certain clock In the city that al
ways points to ten minutes to eight.
Often my watch says five minutes to
twelve when it is really twelve o'clock.
But this does not argue against the use
of watches; 1t only means that watches
must be taken care Of. And doubly so
with conscience, because 1t Is not only
delicate instrument, tut an instru-
ment that has life in It., hat grows.
Rules for Care
Nov the rule for the care and use
of conscience is one and very simple
that is, always mind your conscience.
Your conscience, notice. not some other
PERSONS. Your own Is your only guide
for the voyage of life. Regard 1t as
the voice of God, respect 1t as the voice
of God, and it will really be to you the
voice of God"

est of any minister in Los Angeles
Rev. Mr.. Smither has become popular
as pastor, preacher and lecturer, and
is one of the foremost clergymen of
the denomination on the coast, as he
is also pastor of the leading Christian
church In california.
During the seventeen years Rev. Mr..
Smither has received into his church
over 1900 members, the membership
now being more than 1000, with a
large and flourishing Sunday school.
All the city Christian churches were
started as branches of the mother
church, and large number of those
who were originally members of the
first church have transferred their
membership to the closer missions es-
tablished by the church, which are now
independent churches.
Rev. Mr.. Smither has recently in
augurated Improvements at the church
which will cost $4,000 and will make
the church one of the best in the city.
Rev. Mr.. Smither relates some pleas
ant "reminiscences of the church life
of the city, he having come here when
Broadway had about the same amount
of business that Pico street now has.
