Charles T. Dufie, Superintendent OF
woodmere Presbyterian Mission Sab
bath School, Introduces National
Pastime Into Religious Work.
Children Enthuse Over Innovation
and Show Keen Competition for
Averages Secured by Class Work

When baseball Is brought into the
house OF God, 1t is rather reducing
our national pastime to renned
science.
Just about year ago, the Sunday
school pupils of the Woodmere Pres
+ byterian mission, out on Fulton-st.,
didn't number enough to get up a re-
spectacle game of lone old cat,
Now there are so many youngsters
clamoring at the doors each Sabbath
day, that ground rules are necessary.
And it's all because Charles T. Duff
fle, superintendent Of the institution,
Recognizes the fact that the kiddies
are more apt to take an unholy In
terest in the batting averages OF Coop
and Crawford, than they are TO have
a sanctimonious regard for the doings
Of Paul and Peter.
In other words, II is easier TO
\ reach the Juvenile heart through the
smiling face OF Wild Bill Donovan
than II Is through wholesale torture
OF the childish mind with lot OF
stun that that mind could never com
prehend
When Mr.. Duffie took charge OF
the Woodmere Presbyterian mission,
q year ago, he noted that the fear OF
the Lord dwelled not in the hearts OF
his youthful charges. Casting about
: him for q reason, he discovered that
in the numerous adjacent lots about
the Sabbath school, all the lads were
engaged In playing ball. Very fire.
ouently, the Lords prayer was rude
" interrupted by the terrific impact
OF a bat against a ball and the apos-
ties creed ofttimes came to an
abrupt termination amidships, be-
cause sensational fielding feat in
cantiguous territory occasioned gigan-
tic outbursts from Juvenile lungs.
For q time, Mr., Duffie was sort OF
dabbergasted. But being somewhat
OF lover of the national game him
self, he refused to be beaten and one
day q bright idea dawned upon him.
In brief, the idea was TO have the
game introduced into the Sunday

Cairo ventured into the west enc
and lost his bearings. After wan
dering around in circles for some
time, he finally threw himself upon
the mercy OF citizen sfitH
what kind of a town is. this?
he demanded Why haven't You
people street signs for the benefit
of strangers?"
The citizen explained as best he
could and after directing the stranS-
or in the right direction he began
to think over the incident. The mat
ter impressed him as being one OF
such Importance that he has writiei,
letter to The Bulletin, which IS
printed in another column of this
issue. M ~ alEe
IF Cairo wants to be city ii will
have to run itself like city" the
citizen writes. and the first thing
1t will have to do is get bunch of
street signs and tack them up for
the benefit of strangers.
This citizen is a man of ideas
and IL all other citizens would take
as much interest in Cairo as he
does, 1t would not be long before
the street signs would appear.
To the man, who has lived in
Cairo for years, ii is not difficult to
find the way" 1t is hard task,
however, for the visitor and We
must be careful of him, as he some
day may become one of us.
Cairo should do everything with
in its power to make everything at
tractive for the visitor, for every
time city makes good impression
on a stranger, 1t has created a valu-
able advertising medium.

RuFFLEs IN FASHION AGAIN

W On straight foundation OF net put
three laceedged rufties three inches

Narrow ruffes are being applied to

possible material and put on rather
scant; but even so they give a soft
finishing touch that is impossible to

DISAPPEARING SERVANT GIRL.

Herman Robinson New York's com.
misioner Of licenses. is the latest rash
man to tell how the domestic servant
problem may be solved. Things might
improve, he THINKS, II employers put
such servants ION the same footing
as working women in other walks of
life;" II they would make their status
more like that of employees In stores
and Offices. with definitely understood
hours of labor" Such a reform has
been attempted in Chicago, with re-
suits variously estimated, says the
NewYork World. So far as New York
Is concerned. an economic factor Is
doing more for 1t than any amount OF
preaching, Mr.. Robinson notes the
increasing number Of women who
work out by the day and return to
their own homes at night. With high
rentals constantly driving families to
take fats with fewer rooms, there Ia
often. fortunately for her, no place for
the servant to sleep under her EN-.
ployer's roof Obviously the home
living servant has more freedom OF
action and pleasanter and healthier
life, II often g harder one. than the
inmate with her telling confinement
within doors and her occasional aft
ernoon out" Upon the old lines the
servant question never will be solved.
1t is against public policy that it
should be solved. ..,
