GOVERNS THOUGHT AND ACTION.
The Human Heart Compared to Gen.
trail Wireless System.

Rev. ]. o. Knott Of Lexington, Va,
preaching yesterday at the Epworth Meth
odist Episcopal Church South, 7th and A
streets northeast, of which he was formerly
the pastor. compared the human heart to
the center Of wireless system. constantly
recording the influence of thousands Of
agencies seeking to govern thought and
action. He said in part:
To-day we know much more of psychic
forces than men ever knew, bat this opens
our eyes to the fact that each Of US is the
center OF wireless telegraph system where
10000 agencies. it may be, are seeking to
influence our actions by every sort of sug-
gestfon. We wrestle with spiritual adver-
saries These forces are contending with
US for the heavenly essentials.
Some think that the principal enemies
we are to fear today are critics of the
Bible. A great corporation of our country
hurt itself in the public's estimation be-
cause it's representative shrank from al
lowing investigation to proceed. So may
we do injury to the Bible. Some think the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. in its
attempt to have a new statement of faith
for worldwide Methodism Is striking at
the roots of confidence in the church.
This is but sign of our belief In the
divinity of the church. We need a succtnct
expression of Methodist belief. Our great
est enemy of today is the disposition to as
sent to everything that is commonly known
as orthodox, and, in heart and life, per-
sonally accept only what suits our con.
yenience"

AFTER RECKLESS CHAUFFEURS.
officials Of National Geological Park
Take Action.

The offfcials Of the National Geological
Park say they have had trouble Of late
with reckless chauffeurs who persist In
driving automobiles over the roads in the
park at excessive rates Of speed. The au-
thorities have devised a plan which, they
believe will put stop to such practice.
When complaint was first made to the Off
Gals of the Zoo about the speeding OF
horseless vehicles the matter was taken up
and the park watchmen instructed to ar
rest the offenders If they persisted In the
rapid running, after warning.
Several days ago one of the watchmen
hailed an automobilist whose machine was
whizzng along at a. dan anger a pace ana ana
law. The chauffeur, however, continued
his race against time.
Later two automobilists who were racing
their machines and travelling at the rate of
arrested and forfeited SO collateral each.
The scheme devised to check the danger
Gus practice was described to a Star re-
porter today. 1t appears that the road
that is most travelled by the automobiles is
very steep one twenty-feet in width, with
an per cent grade. 1t has number of
short turns about high banks through
which It Is cut, and it is, therefore impos-
sible for those in the autos to see very far
ahead. The danger to life and limb Of
pedestrians is apparent, the Zoo officials
say.
Warning signs have been placed at the
top and bottom of the steep road and else
where, and several parts of the road have
been measured of accurately into half-mile,
f1ve-efghts-of-a-mile and three-Quarter-mile
stretches. A Waterman can see and time
an automobile from the top or bottom Of
the declivity when 1t enters the measured
stretches. and the instructions are to take
the TIME and the number Of the machine
and procure warrants for the arrest Of the
OFFENDING parties. The Zoo officers say It
was necessary to take such steps to prevent
the possibility of serious accident in the in
closure where there are many women and
children visitors who might be run down
and killed or seriously injured by some
reckless autoist. The legal speed limit in
the Zoo inclousure is five miles an hour.

Good News for Fishermen.

Reports from Mattawoman creek from
parties who have gone there on fishing trips
in launches, are that white perch are bit
ing finely, and that last week they were
being caught with hook and line as fast
as the hooks could be baited and thrown
into the water. Rock were also being
caught in large numbers in the vicinity of
Glymont
On salt water, at the lower end Of the
river, spot and trout are said to be plenti-
full, and fishermen are having some good
sport down there. Black bass are scarce,
but few have been caught with hook and
line in Mattawoman creek in the past three
or four days.
The water in the river in the vicinity Of
this city Is rather too muddy for any
thing to bite except catfish, cells and small
fish. Several large Mississippi river cats
have been caught off the wharves here re-
Gently. Crabs are plentiful down river, and
at Colonial Beach and other resorts they
are being caught by the thousands.
