Modern lighting on city streets. Mr..
Eshelman said, was sure to enhance
the value of property, because the
value OF business property was fixed
only by the amount and kind of traf-

common condition of one side of a
street being deserted and another side
busy. as being due to the superior IL
Limitations on the busy side.
Practically any street directly trib-
utary TO a business thoroughfare can
be fully doubled in value by instaIIa-
ton OF spectacular lighting. Lighting
the entire business section of city
increases values by increasing traffic,
not only from the city itself but from
the surrounding country and towns.
Good light increases the value of res
idential streets. Good street lighting
more than any other thing gives to a
city an air OF progressiveness and
prosperity

MURDER is MURDER.

In the current issue of The Outlook
Theodore Roosevelt has an article up
on the McNamara case, entitled Muir
der In Murder in which he dispar-
ages the sympathy and tactics which
are used to create a false view OF
such on enses and to pave the way to
1eniency. In conclusion. he says;
Murder is murder, and the fool
ish sentfmentalists or sinister wrong
doors who try to apologize for it a
an incident of labor warfare are not
only morally cuIpable, but are enemies
of the American people, and. above all,
are enemies Of American wage-work-
ers. In honorable contrast to these men
stand the various labor leaders who
have never asked for more than a
fair trial for the McNamaras, whose
purpose has only been to get justice.
and who now sternly demand that
murder shall be punished when COM
rnitted in the nominal interest of labor
precisely as under any other cfrcum-
stances. / believe with all my heart
in the American workingman; 1 be-
lieve with all my heart in organized
Ia Dor, for labor must be organised in
order to protect and secure it's rights,
and, therefore, with all my strength,
I urge my fellow citizens. the Amert-
can men and women who earn their
livelihood as wage workers, to see
that their leaders stand for honesty.
and obedience to the law, and to set
their faces like flint against any eff

any movement which in any shape or
way benefits by the commission of

What an lnfield Double Play Means In
Time and Action.
In an article on baseball in Every
body's Magazine the writer shows the
wonderful speed that is used in making
some of the plays. He says:
Making first base. though more dra-
matte TO watch. is an uneventful ex-
petition compared with the trip to sec
ond 1t takes fast man to negotiate
the journey in 3-5 seconds. No thrown
ball goes over 300 feet. and if batted
ball travels beyond the safe limits of a
single throw it must be relayed by the
feeders. While you are watching the
outfielder scamper after the ball the
relay line is being swiftly formed in
the infield There could be no such
quick and accurate fielding of deep
outfieId hits If the outflelder taking the
ball did not know that behind him was
ranged his line of relays ready to take
the ball the instant he could turn and
throw 1t. The relay line in a profess
sional team forms almost automatical-
ly.
To make a double play in the infield
the shortstop. for example, must field
a ball that has been batted about 135
feet. He passes the ball from ten to
twenty-five feet TO the second base

feet to first. All this while the batter
is running ninety feet. trick that. as

Q.-How shall we account for the
seeming contradiction of the following
scriptures-John i:1s, where it says,
"No man hath seen God at any time,"
land Exodus xxiv:e, 10, "And they
saw the God of Israel; and there was
under His Feet as il were a paved
were the body of heaven in his clear
ness"7 q. C. HI
Answer-To properly understand the
Bible it is essential that the student
should continually bear in mind that
much of the Scriptures contain SYM
bolic or figuratlve expressions, and the
remainder is in clear, literal state
znents To distinguish between the
two forms of expressions is what the
apostle calls rightly dividing the
word Of truth" QI. Timothy ii:15.)
Saul, on his way TO Damascus. had but
a glimpse of the glorified Lord Jesus.
and so overwhelming was the sight
and blinded to such an extent that il
required a miracle to restore his eye
sight. In view of this, think what
the effect would have been upon Moses
and his associates had they actually
seen the Almighty God, of whom the
apostle says--Who only hath immor-
tally, dwelling in the light that no
man can approach unto; whom no man
hath seen nor can see; to whom be
honor and power everlasting" q. Tim
othy vi:16.) We are forced to the con-
clusion, therefore, that what Moses
and those with him saw was but a
representation of the Deity, or Wis
ion of some kind or other. We re-
member, also. in this connection, the
TRANSPORTATION on the mount; the
apostles wso We're with the Lord
thought they actually had seen Moses
and Elijah with the Saviour But
what they saw was merely a vision"
tMntthew xvi:9). Moses and Elijah
were dead. The Scriptures say, The
dead know not anything"

WHAT TO CALL ONEs9 WIFE.

A Maryland woman, recently wrote
to her home paper that the average
man doesn't know what to call his
wife when he refers to her in COM
pany.
If she lived in New England she
would soon discover that he did not
call her the cook, but just put Mrs. =
before his own name, and let's it 60
at that.
1t is said a Texan calls his wife

her his '.pard," a Scotchman may call
her his mate" and some southern

to refuse to 60 into company with

one that just pleases her husband. he
proudly calls her by that in season
and out of season. just because he
fancies it.
Men who recognize the proprieties
and are ever conscious of dignity, give
Mrs" the preference and say it with
an emphasis which indicates she is his
better half without his SO declaring.
But it seems good to hear a man
forget himself and let out a name
which has heart warmth in 1t, and
sends dignity to the dogs. But this
has to be kept the exception, for if it
became the rule it would surely lose
its charm.
