Suddenly applying the brakes when
the car is travelling at high speed is
the cause of a great many bad acct
dents. The man who abruptly throws
on his brakes at speed of even thirty
miles an hour is running a considera-
BILE risk, especially if the road is slip
perry. Even if they are applied grad
ually the driver should be exceedingly
careful. But, in the first place, a
driver should never travel at high
speed on any road where it is likely
that a sudden application of the
brakes will be required.

The opening of the 1912 touring
season has created a demand for tour
ing information throughout the ranks
of the augmented army of pleasure
car owners This demand is particu-
larly large as regards roads in and
beyond New Jersey, since that com
monwealth has decided to admit mo-
florists from other states for a period
Of fifteen days during the year. There
is no doubt that New Jersey offers a
fertile field around New York for
short motor explorations, and those
in search of touring information for
that section will be delighted to know
that Volume e of the Official Blue
Book for 1912 may now be had at
book stores. The volume contains
much that is new in the way of route
and descriptive matter, including sew
eral miles of routes not heretofore
charted, as a result of the progress in
new road construction. In addition to
New Jersey the routes in this edition
cover the Delaware River country, the
mountains of Pennsylvania and the
region of the South Atlantic States,
where accurate running directions and
road information is an absolute neces-
sity to the tourist.

low the water line in the big tank
at the Washington navy yard will
be thoroughly tested this winter by
Naval Constructor w. d. Taylor OF

pair of the navy department The
success of this type of ship, four OF
which were built in England, leads
naval officials here to believe that
the same idea might be applied to
battleships.
Two outward curves, twenty-three
inches deep, run the length of the
ships between the load line and the
bilge. Between the convex curves
is concave surface of equal depth
This partial application of the tube
principle greatly increases the
strength of the hull. So much
strength is added that the stringer
plates may be dispensed with. This
increases the space available for
bulk cargo.

What had every appearance of a
bargain counter rush was the crowd
that blocked the sidewalk and street
in front OF Ed Lamm's drug store
at eight o'clock this morning.
The multitude was waiting for a
chance to get inside the store to pur-
chase tickets for the concert to be
given by the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra in MankatO next Monday
evening. The inside of the store
was packed like the proverbial box
of sardines and stayed so until all
the tickets were sold One nervous
individual became so impatient that
when at last his turn came to get
his pasteboards he positively could
not stand still. AS a result he jam
med his knee through the show case
in which the ticket racks were ar
ranged. A lady was overcome by
confusion and tainted dead away.
She was taken in the air and re-

that the injured man will be removed

forms, loveth' and 1eadeth,' marks
but one instance where the English
of the King James version has
given way to that in currency to-
day.
1T is my belief that the new edi-
| ton eventually will eliminate anti
quated language from modern pull
pit duplication. Prayer has always
been modelled after biblical express
sion of thought, and change in
the former, l believe, will follow the
change in the latter"
With its modern phraseology and
new verbal clothing designated to
give the Word wider dissemination
through a more popular presenta-
ton, the Baptist Bible has aroused
much comment in the world of
thought and religion. Since it's APP
pearance a few days ago thousands
long familiar with the King James
version, have been busy comparing
the new translation with the older
editions.
The sixteenth chapter of Luke
eliminates the word "hell" as the
name of the subterrestrial realms
and replaces it with underworld"
The verse affected by the change
now reads, "And I also say to thee
that thou art. Peter, and on this
rock l will build my church; and
the gates of the underworld shall
not prevail again it."
All the portions of the Bible were
written in poetry and printed in
their verse form. The Psalms again
appear in a form approximating the
ancient Hebrew, with the divided
line accentuating the antiphonal eff
feet.

But there is a world of difference
to the criminal between life impris-

"While the optimistic reform spirit

percentage of homicides per 100000

per cent.

the Injunction of Jesus. 1t is the di-

st. Paul, November 20.-The pro-
posed bill for the establishment of
the death penalty in Minnesota was
Endorsed by the Twin City Lutheran
Ministers association in monthly
session at Concordia college yester-
day afternoon. The bill is one that
will be presented to the coming legis-
lature, through the efforts of the
County Attorneys association, which
has gone on record as favoring CAPT
tai punishment
The resolution providing for the
Endorsement by the ministers yester-
day was adopted unanimously. 1t
was said by several that the Luther
an ministers in Minnesota are a unit
in favor of capital punishment. The
chief address was delivered by Pro
fessor G.. Abbetmeyer, instructor in
English at Concordia college.
Professor Abbetmeyer said in part:
ITO show that capital punishment
should be re-enacted, it is argued
that segregation of the murderer by
imprisonment is not as strong a
deterrent from homicide as the death
penalty, that state has the right to
infiict the latter, and in so doing
meets the demands of the loftiest
and most compassionate humanity.
Certainly no one should die innocent
ly, no more than be imprisoned in
nocently, or buried alive.

and inhuman, some of the most en-
lightened states, such as England,
