somewhere they hitch up," and when they want news they get out the Old Tes- lament.
 The Reverend Jonas is not an expert in automobiles. Until recent events he had never seen one. Indeed, he had never set foot beyond the confines of New Kent until a month ago, he came to Washington.
 As he stepped across the street from the landing wharf the hoarse bray of horn smote upon his affrighted ear, and he froze in his tracks not foot from the path of an automobile that flashed by him.
 An hour later, as he stood at a vantage point on Pennsylvania avenue, to gaze upon the mighty dome of the capitol, the "honk, honki' of a motor car flying past his elbow drove him shuddering to the safety of the curb
 Soon after an attempt to cross to the White House was foiled by demonstra- tion of devil wagons that roared past him down the avenue. It was coming too fast for Jonas. He grabbed his grip and without a word went home in dismay- went home without seeing the Big Stick or even knowing there was a Big Stick.
 He went home. buried himself in the pines, and searched the Scriptures; he knew he'd find something there to fit the case When he emerged to his anxious and expectant flock a satisfied smile had banished the gloom. He rose in his pulpit, his finger upon his text. It was Nahum, ii:4:
 The chariots shall rage in the streets; they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways They shall seem like torches; they shall run like the light nings
 Then he preached a sizzling, soul-stir- ring sermon that settled the automobile with the Mount Zion folk.
 It was true, spoke MT. Hipson, that Nahum was talking about one Asshur- bani-pal or Sardanapalus CSing of Baby lon in Nahum's day, and an all-round bad lot) who with roistering crowd of gay blades from his capital had gone up in chariots to the tributary town of Min eveh on a cash-raising junket and shock ed the good people of that city, Nahum among them. But these seers of old, he pointed out, always cloaked their proph ecies of modern events in some speech on their own times, and what Nahum was really hitting at was the fiery motor car of today.
 Not content with this indorsement of his views by the prophet, he clinched the case by citing the verse following which, said he, refers to the terrified wayfarer in the path of the flying and furious car:
 They shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall Cor curb. as the Reverend Jonas interprets it). Ma hum, ii-4.
 His own experience, he told his hear CTS, left no doubt but that what the prophetic eye of Nahum really saw was not Nineveh, B. C., but Washington, D. C..
 And then-for this New Kent preacher is erudite in subjects Scriptural-he drew on his enraptured congregation the 'Bi- be Commentaries of the famous divine, Dr. Norton chaplain to the late Queen Victoria.
 "The word 'torches' he cited there from, might better be translated metal The passage should be they speed with the fashlngs of metal" ]"

to the saving of many babies eyes from the glare of buildings and asphalt in ten ement streets.
 The visitors are ready even to show the mothers how to make proper hot weather and other clothing for the papy ana other children.
 One source of sickness among babies is that they frequently have to stay in the tenement kitchens while their mothers are cooking stew or other boiled meats and vegetables on the coal range. The temperature can be imagined. It so hap pens also that almost all the cheap meats require very long cooking and the result is many hours of blazing fire in range The association saw a way out or this, and is now showing the mothers and fathers how to make a satisfactory fireless cooker out of soap boxes and eX- cel3ior or newspapers. With this cooker all that the mother need do is to let the meat or vegetables come to hard boil and then put it into the fireless cooker, which in some hours cooks the meat thoroughly without drying It up. Mean while the fire can be put out and the flat made cool This idea has led to what might be called communal kitchens. The woman who is doing ironing anyhow ln- vites her neighbors to get their freless cooking started her range and the rest do not light fires at all. The erect of this absence of a blazing stove when the outdoor temperature is running Tn the 9O's, can readily be appreciated. By way of contrast, for winter use, the as- sociation's workers have taught the peo- pie of the tenements how to make out of board a ventiating strip for their windows, which will give the baby plen- ty of fresh air without exposing 1t to direct draught.
 So rapidly are the tenement folk be- ginning to appreciate the value of these homemade appurtenances that the char ity organizations are now predicting that the fight against disease and suffering in the poorer districts of the city will soon be much easier to wage
 Our greatest trouble up to date,' said one charity official recently, "has been to get the poor people to cooperate with us Now that they are willing to fash ion weapons against disease and suffer- ing with their own hands, however the fight will be an easier one to win, for nine-tenths of the sickness among babies in the tenement districts of this city has been caused by lack of sanitary appli- ances and household necessities, such as the ice box and the bath.'

FIGHTING DISEASE
 AMONG TIE POOR How to Make Cheap Devices
 At Home ICE BOX FOR 20 CENTS A Sanitary Crib for a ouarter-Fire- less Cooker That Does Away. With Intense Heat of Ten
 ement Kitchen.

New York, August S.-(Special )-Home- made weapons are being used very effec- lively this summer in the fight which the charitable organizations of this city are waging against disease and death in the eongested tenement districts The poor cannot purchase ice boxes, shower baths and other desirable hot weather proper ties which are of valuable aid in fighting off disease, and as it is beyond the finan- clal powers of the charitable organiza- tions to furnish such equipment to all their beneficiares. novel expedient has been adopted. This consists of demon- strations by the charity workers at which the tenement dwellers are shown how to make ice boxes and other home made appliances which answer their moderate tenement requirements, as well as the more elaborate affairs do for the pros- porous housewife in an apartment"
 The Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor took the initial step in this instructive campaign when it placed on exhibition in each of it's milk depots a homemade ice box which can be built for less than 20 cents, and will keep a 5-cent piece of ice for 24 hours. Before taking this step investiga- tors for the association had found that hundreds of babies and children in the tenement districts had been made i'll dur ing the first hot spell by drinking milk which had stood for hours in a warm place and was teeming with bacteria In many cases lack of ice boxes was direct ly responsible for the illness of these children.
