with his chum, Mr.. Snow. he said he
knew nothing. and that Mr.. Snow was
running the trip. Mr.. Snow kept much to
his stateroom. not appearing on deck UNI

Trip to Last Eighteen Days.
Mrs. Roosevelt was not asked about an

primarily because of her health. In reply
to the question how long the party would
be gone, she replied that the length Of the
stay had not been determined, but that
it would not be more than eighteen days.
Miss Ethel looked very pretty in a steam
err coat, and seemed more concerned

TRUE VALUE OF OUR LIFE
Some Great Emergency Furnishes tho

Real Valuation.

There Is so much for US to do, 20
many wrongs to be made right and 80
many evils to be remedied that q con-

life is far beneath our notice. so
long as life runs smoothly in It's usual
channel we are inclined to attach
great importance to the minor details
Of existence and in time yield largely
to their influence.
The terrible test of some great
emergency. however, makes clear
life's true values. The greatest sue

fortunes that can be attained, the
highest station that can be achieved
are az nothing In the closing hours
of q mans life. Then 1t is that he

he can and does rely for his eternal
reward upon the unselfish and simple
service he has rendered for the well

the native hopefulness OF the soul.
We instinctively believe in the
goodness of the Eternal, and because
God is King of all souls and ali

THE ENABLING ACT
NOW SEEMS CERTAIN
Majority of Legislators Desire
Submission to Voters
CITIES OPPOSE THE MEASURE
Rural Districts Will No Doubt Vote
For Statewide

Indications are that the enabling
act, long sought by the Anti-SalOon
League, giving the people the right
to vote on Statewide prohibition,
will probably be adopted by TIE
Legislature which is to convene in
January.
These indications are cleaned
from replies TO letters sent out by
the Richmond News Leader in
order to get expressions as to the
attitude of the Legislators in regard
to State wide prohibition.
The canvass of the vote, while yet
incomplete, because a number Of
members have failed 10 submit their
views and tell how they will vote,
shows that several of the most prom
inent Legislators are working for
State wide prohibition.
The General Assembly. as made
up of senators and delegates is
shown by name, and the tabuiated
list shows 80 avo we'd voters for the
State wide bill, with s senators and
delegates, who will vote for the
measure, provided % per cent of
the constituents so petition. Against
the State wide bill are % mem bers
of the General Assembly.
Norfolk, Roanoke, Richmond, Har-
risonburg and Newport News are
scheduled as places that will fight
the State wide prohibition bill lille
it will have as it's champions such
strong men as Speaker Richard E.
Byrd, Senator Charles y. Gayatt
Of Caroline county; DR., H. U. Step

For Women

The Rev. DR.. Albert Marion HYDE

Brocton, Mass, has written CON-
mandments for women. Four of
these are as follows:
Thou shalt not marry for a bank
account, or for home, or even to
escape being an old maid. 1t is
better to remain single than to enter
the marriage state for revenge only.
After the marriage thou shalt not
forget that thy husband is still q
man. II thou put on an old wrap
per and leave thy hair on the bureau
and wear slippers run down at the
heel the thoughts that arise in thy
husband would not look we'll in
print.
Thou shall not let loose on thy
husband, or thy sons, or thy daugh-
tiers, or thy father, or thy mother on
ironing day or wash day or baking
day. If thy tongue is hung in the
middle and wags at both ends thy
hus band will remember it is lodge
night and will have a great desire
to initiate friend.
Thou shalt not spell home in any
| new way-not as club, or matinee.
or even church social.

To Carry Mail by Fast Freight

Postmaster General Hitchcock iu-
tends To extend the practice OF car
rying second-class mail by fast
freight trains, He so stated in an
answer he filed in the United States
Circuit Court in the case OF the Re-
view Of Reviews Company, COM
planning OF unjust Discrimination
because it's magazines were carried
by freight instead of by mail trains
through the Middle West for distri-
button to far-distant points.
The Postmaster General says the
government lost cents a pound on
all second class matter trans ported
from New York to the Pacific coast
by mail trains in 1907-l90S, but that
since early this year when the fast
freight rule was enforced on certain
periodicals issued at intervals of a
week or more, a saving of 81, 400
600 has been made. The rule has so
far been applied only to the so-calle d
third central section, but as soon as
contracts with railroads in three
other sections expire the rule will
be enforced there. This, says the
Postmaster General, will make an
annual saving of 50, O0G,O in the
transportation of Second-class mail.
