Another Barnegat Story,

The Law Of the Beach is the title OF
another of those splendid Barnegat Beach
stories by Mr.. and Mrs Bourke. in our
next Sunday Magazine. 1t is the law OF
the beach for these doughty life-savers to
eliminate all thought of self in the
thought of duty, and their duty requires
them to give their lives for others at
every opportunity. It is this very contin-
ued spirit Of utter self-abnegation that
makes them such simple. crude. primitive
fellows. Now and then, of course, one
of them is sorely tried to be false to his
trust; but these instances are generally
little more than mptations. and on the
rebound the whilom tempted one Is more
faithful to his esprit de corps than ever.
The story that the Bourkes have written
round this principle is an unusually
strong one. even for them.

WANTS EXHIBITION BUILDING
Commerce Chamber Seeks Site for
Railway Manufacturers.

Plans for building to be used for exhi-
bition purposes in connection with the
convention Of the National Association
of Railway Supply Manufacturers were
discussed at meeting Of a special COM
mittee Of the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday afternoon. A representative Of the
company which erected the building south
of the White House for the International
Congress on Hygiene and Demography
was present. The same company is now
removing that building, and the commit
tee asked for estimates of the cost of re-
erecting the building on the same site or
some other. 1t was said that the cost
would be approximately $4,000.
A suggestion was made that the site Of
the old Pennsylvania railroad station at
9th and B streets northwest, be used for
the proposed building AS soon as esti-
mates have been submitted to the COM
mittee the matter will be taken up with
the Manufacturers Association. The con-
vention is to be held next June.

sided at the Marlboro meeting, and be-
sides Representative Heflin, Frank O..
Smith. democratic candidate for Congress
from the fifth congressional district Of
Maryland. spoke Mr.. Smith attacked
Representative Parran's record in the last
session Of Congress. declaring that he
failed to vote on the proposition to re-
duce the tariff on agricultural imple-
ments. but voted in the negative to pass
the bill over President Taft's veto. He
declared that Parran voted against the
free sugar bill.
Former Speaker of the Maryland House
of Delegates ]. Enos Ray, jr., presided
at the Brentwood meeting. held In Fire
mems hall. The hall was crowded and
the speech OF Representative Helm was
applauded. Democrats of Prince Georges
county claim that Wilson will carry the
county by small majority. They claim
that Roosevelt will obtain considerable
support from republicans. thereby split
ting the vote. while the democrats are
united for Wilson. Usually Prince
Georges county gives a majority for the
republican ticket in presidential and con-
gressional years.
There is quite a sentiment among the
upper county colored people for Roose-
welt. while in the lower section the col
ored vote will be for Taft. In Randall
town, a cOlored settlement between Hy-
attsville and Brentwood, it is stated that
practically every voter will be for Roose-
Welt.

INSTITUTE SESSIONS END.
DR.. Duhring and DR.. McKim Discuss
Sunday School Work.

The closing session of the sixteenth
annual convention of the Sunday School
institute of the Diocese Of WASHINGTON
was addressed last night in the parish
hall of the Church Of the Epiphany by
Rev. DR.. H. L. Duhring of Philadelphia,
who is member of the Sunday school
commission of Pennsylvania
DR.. Duhring urged Sunday school teach
ers to employ the flags Of the interna-
tional code to impress upon children in
their classes the call of heathenism for
the Christian missionary. The speaker
pointed out that the young minds will
be impressed more with the realism of
the situation by some concrete illustra-
ton than by simply being told of the
conditions. Rev. Dr. Randolph McKim,
rector Of the Church Of the Epiphany.
also addressed the meeting, which was
attended not only by clergymen and Sun
day school teachers, but also by many
others interested in the religious educa-
ton of the child.
AT the session late yesterday afternoon
Canon de Vries presided, and various
Sunday school problems were discussed.
