MOTEL IN this country, stay at nome
folks do not realize that there are
probably a million persons in this
country who every night sleep
away from home in hotels; or else
have no other homes, AT the best
hotel is a lonely place. Only the
men who travel know the dreari-
ness of the evenings spent in hotels.
The marvel is not that SO many
men away from home succumb to
temptation, but that so many re.
main straight Not all hotels, by
any means, are the great caravan
saries of the cities. Life in the
hotels of small towns must be ex-
perienced to be appreciated
Into hotels of all grades the
Gideons have thus far put more
than 100000 Bibles and are in
creasing that total at the rate of
), 900 a month. These books are
legibly printed and may be read
comfortably. They are the
American Standard Version.
The scheme is sound psycholo-
gically. The Bibles are before the
mems eyes in their hours of Sc.
clusion, when they are alone and
often homesick and otherwise in a
receptive mood. Innumerable ro-
mantle stories have come to the
headquarters concerning men and
women caught on the brink of
some wrong action. Here is one
of the stories told at the Gideon
office:
" A man went into hotel in
San Francisco and took a room
with the intention of committing
suicide by poison, a vial of which
he carried with him to his room.
He set the vial containing the
poison on the centre table and
went about making preparations
for the final act.
When he was ready, he stepped
over to the table, and discovered
that accidentally he set the vial
upon book, which inspection
showed to be a Gideon Bible. AS
he opened it, his eyes fell upon the
sentence, eff discouraged or in
trouble, read Psalm 1876 and John
Ia. He read these two selections
then went to the window and threw

to God. He is today an activ,

All sorts of persons have writ
ten their experience with these
opportunely discovered Bibles.
One senator sent $50 for the work,
as a token Of appreciation. An
actress wrote pathetic letter,
and sent money for Bible she
could own (Some copies of the
Bible are pilfered from the hotels! J
A fugitive from justice read the
book, and went back home to
take his medicine. . The widow
the prodigal, the discouraged
business man, the sleepless way

gratitude.

Schools to Furnish Supplies

SACRAMENTO, July 30.--No child
in Californa's public schools can be
compelled legally to buy text books or
classroom supplies of any kind. The
state board Of education must supply
the books it considers necessary for
the elementary schools, and the local
school boards must furnish all other
supplies needed by the pupils.
This is the opinion just given by
Attorney General Webb to District At
torney Bowker Of Ventura county in
response to a request for an explana-
tion Of the 1919 statutes, as they will

BIC Bankers.

WA~HINGTuN. July 30.-There
We're i've important developments in
the currency legislation yesterday.
/ one was the issuance of a strong
statement by Secretary Of the Treas
ury McAdoo, IN which accused Tic
big banks and moneyed interests of the
country Of conspirinc 10 defeat the
bill and to intimidate the smaller
banks SO they would oppose it.
. The other was the confident asser-
ton that the administration bill will
ne laid before the honse committee
August ~, accompanied ny the almost
unanimous favorable report Of the
committee. The president let it be
known that he viii insist on all the
| essential features nt the bill.
As for Secretary McAdoO's charges
| il is believed il viii result In a con-
grpssional investigation. He declares
il is the intention OF the big New York
financial institutions 70 incite the
country banks into opposing the ad-
nlnistration bill.
The idea seems TO he that the
country banks, which hold about two
thirds Of the 2 per cent bonds and use
thin aS the basis for their circulating
notes, may be induced 10 unite with
the New York city banks in opposition
TO the bill if they can be made to be
';eve that the proposed currency
measure is going 70 injure these bonds
3nd cause losses 10 the banks. This
is Of course unfounded.
