Can vie do nothing then but allow
ourselves meekly to be submerged
and then wait as Noah did, for the
waters to abate? l do not think we
are left in such plight. We can
certainly get the right point of view
concerning them And right here If
anywhere. is to be found a rea son for
calling these experiences the blues As
we need the blue of the sky to offset
the gorgeous tints of sunrise and sun
continuous series of high lights There
is a hymn one of whose verses begin:
I thank thee, Lord, that all our jog
Is touched with pain;
That shadows fall on darkest hours
That thorns remain.
So that earths bliss may be our guide
And not our chain
The order of life seems to involve
certain measure of discipline. of re-
action from exceptional happiness. of
the temporary sway of moods in which
we feel the weight and strain and
unSatisfactoriEesS of existence
Such moods are not peculiar to us;
they are common in the race. The
best men and women in all the cen
turtles have been subject to them.
Think it not strange" writes the
apostle Peter. to a group of early
Christians, referring to fiery trials
that were upon them. This is the
philosophical side of the blues, and if
we need a philosophy of life we need
it. when the skies are leaden above
us.
But there is a practical side that
deals with the kind of an active fight
we ought to put up against these in
vaders of our peace and happiness.
For blues are to be fought with all
the infantry, artillery and cavalry we
can muster. Here are three sugges-
tons for the warfare:
First, get out into the open. Elmer

a walk when they became unbearably

sunshine. and fresh air helps might

birds and the flowers whisper to you
their message Of hope.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It has been said it is great thing
to- do little thing well. Life is made
up of little things, but they make
great record. The soul that is ambi-
tious to do something great is usual
~ disappointed because ignorant of
the fact that each days living is a
little life and that day by day greaf
things are accomplished. 1T has been
well said: IF you will not do better
today YOU will do worse tomorrow. =
There is no neutral ground. Better
or worse is the edict of life. and it
must positively be one thing or the
other Too many are dilatory-too
many have hesitated and lost The
day is the unit of life: and day by
day life is rounded out in all its full
ness.
The hired driver of an automobile
has my sympathy. He is fine if he
speeds high, but he is no good if he
meets with an accident: and why he
not imagine He is menaced in the
front and in the rear. He must look
out for every dog, chicken and urchin
on the highway, and he must give his
machine the speed those behind him
want whether it is legal or not. He
no right to get excited, and who is not
supposed to complain if an unaccom-
panied infant runs in front of his car
and a fatality causes his arrest for
manslaughter. The chauffeur is the
man of calmness. silence and respon-
sibility-the man of speed, vim and
all that goes with it, And in this
whirling maelstrom of life very few
chauffeurs come to grief. Eye. head
and hand are their trinity of salvation
and they are a trinity worry of every

WOMAN CAUSED
ARREST OF GANG

Conversation and Tells PO=
lice of Shop Lifters' Den

OAKLAND. July 17.-No confessions
We're made to the police today by Mrs.
Ella Harkins. the woman shoplifter,
or her two men companions, H. Har-
kins and Peter W. Hargens, although
the attitude of the three last night in
dicated an early breaking down. They
were questioned all day by detectives.
The real story of the capture of the
shoplifters in their lodgings at 473
Eighth street became public today. Mrs.
e. Hart, wife of Captain Hart, a min
ing man, took the first clew to the
police out of fear of her fellow lodg-
erS in the house as we'll as out of
zeal for the law
Mrs. Hart's room was adjoining one
occupied by the shoplifters' gang, and
of nights she overheard snatches of
conversation in the argot of thieves
Her curiosity was thoroughly aroused
when she had reason to suspect
that one of her neighbors was
either peering through keyhole or
was trying to open the door leading
to her apartment. Then she kept a
watch occasionally. and she overheard
a quarrel in which Mrs. Harkins berat-
ed her husband and their pal for a pair
of craven men," amateurs at stall
ing" and frightened by shop girls.
This was enough for Mrs. Hart, who
went to the police. Detectives Kyle
and Gallagher were put on the trail.
and after shadowing the trio for
day or two, the sleuths. directed by

POOR PAY DRIVES
MANYFROM PULPIT
Former Pastor Declares That
Need Forces Ministers Into
Secular Business

ALAMEDA, July 17.-That poor pay
was responsible for clergymen in many
cases leaving the pulpit for secular
business at which they could make a
living was the statement made today
by Rev. George II. de Kay of Berkeley,
former minister, and at present a
realty dealer, who spoke at the First
Congregational church today on The
Minister in Business"
De Kay declared that in this county
alone several hundred former ministers
were carrying on different vocations.
from office work to brick laying. In a
large majority of the cases of this
kind financial trouble has driven them
from the pulpit, he asserted Those in
business for other reasons than this,
according to De Kay. can often trace
their retirement to differences arising
from theological teachings.
But the chief cause is. the financial
one" said De Kay. "The clergyman
ministers usually to the middle classes
neither the very rich nor the very poor,
but those who have all the simple COM
forts of life. He works for less pay.
often, than a day labOrer gets Some
times the church gives him a donation
party, publicly advertising his needs
and calling on charity TO help him.
Luckily. this. however. is almost out of
date now. 1t is d struggle all the time,
and the worry wears him out.
He then sees other men go into bust
ness that pays well for their labor.
and, deciding that he can p longer
support himself by preaching, goes and
does likewise Some ministers fall from
grace and they also so into business.
Love of woman drives more than one
clergyman to this step. But almost
all the trouble can be traced TO poor
pay"

POLICE WORK RUSE
ON AUTO SPEEDERS
Berkeley Squad Takes New
Stand and Catches ScorChers

BERK ELEY, July 17.-By taking
their station at the corner of Camelia
street and San Pablo avenue, instead
of the corner of University and San
Pablo avenues, where the joy riders
have learned to look for them and
slow down their machines, Policemen
Fraser and Lee of the local police force
detailed to the watch for fast autos,
caught three scorchers last night.
The men have been known as the
flying squad" and have been taking up
station at the corner of University
and San Pablo avenues for some time.
The autoists, however, have learned
this, and the machines have passed
this point at a snaiPs pace, and in
crea sed speed again in the next block,
going toward the county line.
Last night the policemen decided to
take a new stand, choosing Camelia
street about a mile north of Univer-
Sity avenue, as the place. The results
were better than expected. After slow
ing down at the old police stand the
drivers put on full speed again as they
approached the city limits. T. Leonard,
salesman living at 301S High street,
Oakland, with Oliver Nylie, were ar
rested in the first passing machine,
and later released on their own recog-
nizance. Charles Billings, a machinist,
living at Richmond was also arrested
and released on $40 bail

WOMAN SACRIFICES
HER LIFE TO DUTY
Dies From OverwOrk and Leaves
Dependents PenniIess

OAKLAND, July 17.-Miss Louisa A.
Bimson, a dressmaker, 40 years old, the
only support of he ragged widow mother
and of her dead brothers two orphans,
died this afternoon at her basement
home, 1860 Tenth street, from nervous
troubles induced by sorrow and over
work Miss Bimson's death is the
fourth in the family within a few
weeks.
Her brother, his wife. and their four
children, living with Miss Bmsons S mo-
ther in Missouri, became i'll with ty-
phoid fever about month ago, and
the disease was fatal to the parents
and to two of the children. Miss Bim-
son spent her savings in going to Mis-
souri, and returning with her mother
and the surviving children, whom she
intended to care for. The mother,
Mrs. Saloma Jaeger, is nearly so years
old. Fatigue brought on by Miss Bim-
sons work and cares broke her down,
and she expired today while resting
in chair.
The dressmaker's death leaves the
grandmother and the two minor grand
children without money and without
friends in Oakland The body of their
provider was taken to the morgue and
will probably be buried by the county
because of the poverty of the family.
