BEvERIDGE POINTS OUT
BEAUTIES OF THE BIBLE
Senator in Address Before Mems
Temple Club Discusses Literary
Value of Scriptures.

"The Bible as Good Reading was the
theme of Senator Beveridge of Indiana
in his address before the Mems Temple
Club last night in Eighth Street Temple
Mr.. BeveridGe was introduced by Dr.
Abram Simon. After referring to the
divine inspirations found in the Bible he
dwelt at length on its literary value.
1t makes no difference what the
trend of your mind may be. he said. l
guarantee you will find something in the
Bible that will fascinate you as no other
book ever has done. If you care for ro-
nance. turn to the story of Isaac and
Rebecca. Where will you find its peer:
Isaac was the first gentleman In history,
and the story Of his romance with far
Rebecca is the first real love story, and,
to my mind, the best ever written.
The speaker pointed out what he de-
scribed as the Bibles loftiest and most
bes utiful words in certain passages OF
Isaiah, and dwelt on the perfect laws
of hygiene as written by Moses thou-
sand years before scientific lnvesti-
cations were thought of.
Preceding Senator Beveridge's lecture
there was a short musical program par

Safety of the Public to Be Assured
by Employing Intelligent
Operators.

Better than complicated systems of
safety devices for elevators, according to
the views of the Commissioners. are ele-
| vator employees who are intelligent
| enough to prevent accidents in cas- of
| ordinary safety. To this end the Com
| missioners recommend adverse action on
Senate bill to regulate the construction
of elevators in the District In place of
this bill the Commissioners recommend
a substitute measure to license elevator
men, promulgate rules, collect license
fees, etc.
The general terms of the bill on which
adverse action is recommended make ii
a misdemeanor to install passenger ele-
vators or operate them without safety
device No particular device is mention
ed, but the bill is intended to have ele-
vatOrs operated so that the cars cannot
be moved up or down unless the doors
are closed.
Building Inspectors Views.
The inspectors of the building in
spector's office have studied the matter
at length and the Commissioners have
incorporated their report in the letter to
I congress.
The arguments in favor of such legis-
latiOn are given. and in brief present

Against the legislation say the
Commissioners, should be carefully con-

Operator Should Be Educated.
In conclusion, the report says:
1T is the opinion of the Commission
ers that instead of placing a premium
on carelessness of an operator by the
installation of automatic door-locking de-
vices, the operator should be educated,
examined and placed under such SUI
pervision that he will become a highly
efficient empOye.
THE Commissioners believe that this
can be dore by the passage of legisla-
ton authorizing them to make rules
and regulations regarding the operation
of elevators. and to provide for the eX
animation. licensing and registration of

SUGGESTS A MONEY-MAKER.
Virginian Advises Printing Freak
Postage Stamp to Sell at Premium.

With a view to helping to wipe out the
postal deficit an enterprising Virginian in
a letter to the Postmaster General ad-
vances an idea which. he says, is all his
own. His proposition is that the govern
ment purposely cause occasional errors to
be made in printing postage stamps for
the purpose of selling the misprinted
stamps to collectors at a premium. He
claims there are six million stamp col
lectors in the country who would jump at
the chance to get freak postage stamps
and would pay a good bonus for them. AS
compensation for his idea he simply wants
to be made special agent to handle and
sell the stamps for the government, and
modestly leaves to the Postmaster Gen.
eral the naming of the salary to be paid
him.
