THE OLD DOPE.

She was q highbrow maiden.
With culture and brains galore,
Her mind with much learning laden,
A spirit that loved to soar;
There came to her door a lover
Who wanted the maid to wed.
But somehow could not discover
The way to her heart-or head.
He wooed her with books of knowledge
He wooed her with problem plays,
With lore he had learned In college,
With erudite talk and ways;
But 1t didn't seem to win her
And his hopes seemed gone for fair,
And he kept on getting thinner
And moping In deep despair.
Then he dropped the high brow fashion
And turned to old-time style
He told Of his love and passion.
He raved of her lovely smile;
He praised her face-she listened
With q blush that was pink and coy,
He praised her eyes-they glistened
With interest, pride and Joy.
He praised her "efewning glory
Her feet and her hands and all.
And she fell for the old, old story
AS women will always fall!

LOVERS OF OYSTERS
NEED HAVE NO FEAR
Steps Have Been Taken by Govern
ment officials to Prevent Pollu-
tion of Beds.

Washingtonians need no longer
linger over the menu cards at any of
the first-class hotels and restaurants
and hesitate about ordering oysters in
any style. They need not fear the bi-
valves, for public health oficials have
taken steps to regulate and supervise
the oyster beds in the lower Potomac
River and Chesapeake Bay. Following
a number OF complaints, the govern
ment began an investigation of the al
legged pollution of the oyster beds.
Conditions were found which did not
meet with their entire approval, and
they set about to improve them. The
oyster growers were anxious to i'm
prove their oysters, and they Joined
heartily with the public officials In
their work.
The Public Health Service and the
Department of Agriculture then took
up the matter with the several State
governments, with the result that in
almost every State there is govern
ment supervision and inspection Of the
oyster beds.
Dr. w. C. woodward. District Health
Ohicer, yesterday heartily commended
the efforts of the government. to i'm
prove the conditions under which oys-
ters were grown, and stated that he
felt there was little danger in eating
oysters that had been shipped here.

versitS will not be interfered with by the
faculty, declared the Rev. Father John
B. creeden, s. j., secretary OF the uni
versity, yesterday.
The students at Georgetown are not
interfered with in the elections Of their
officers and the conduct Of their socie-
ties" said Father Creeden- ''of course,
the constitution and bylaws OF the
society are known to officers OF the
school. This usually is sufficient, as the
students do not require much super
vision.
'In the law school and other affiliated
schools of the college there is Of course
direct supervision. We have found
the present system to be satisfactory in
every way"
The statement of Father Creeden was
made In answer to q question whether
Georgetown University would follow the
stand of George Washington in demand
ing that student societies be kept under
close supervision. The George Washing
ton presidents council said that they
would supervise all matters pertaining
to organizations. elections, finances and
such things.
It was said also by the George WASH
ington authorities that no unauthorized
society would be permitted. There are
no unauthorized societies at Georgetown

CHATTANOOGA STEEL
MAY REACH PERFECTION
Southern Iron Ores Are Found to Pre-.
sent Every Element of Successful
Manufacture of Finished Product.

The desirability of utilizing in the
vicinity of Chattanooga the products
of Southern blast furnaces long has
been realized by the foremost ironmak-
ers Of the South. According to a report
of the Commissioner Of Agriculture, Sta
tistics, and Mines, of Tennessee, the
Roane Iron Company possessed at
Chattanooga as early as 1881 a Sic
mens-Martin (open-hearth) plant for
making steel and was engaged in max
ing steel and iron rails and in reroll-
ing old rails, but no steel plants are
now operating in this vicinity.
There are no longer any serious OBJ
stacles, according to Ernest F. Burch-
ard, of the United States Geological
Survey. in the way OF making steel
from Southern iron ores, so far as the
character of the ore is concerned, as is
shown by the successful operations of
steel plants at EnsIey and Gadsden,
Ala. The possibilities of Chattanooga
as a steelmaking center are now en-
gaging the attention of owners of iron
and coal lands. technical experts, and
capitalists, and II is hoped that q plan
may be evolved whereby the city's
great advantages for Manufacturing
and distributing may be grasped and
still further developed by the estab-
lishment of steel mills
According to reports bv mining ell
gineers and metallurgists on an assem-
blage of iron ore, coal, and timber
properties situated within a short ra-
dius of Chattanooga, in Tennessee,
Georgia, and Alabama. Mr.. Burchard
considers it feasible to utilize the raw
materials at Chattanooga and to carry
the manufacturing process TO the last
stages Of the finished iron and steel
products.

religion OF SECULAR :
life is DISCUSSED
Rev. Dr.. c. E. Granger Gives His
Views Of Position Of the
moral Man"
SERMON DEVOTED TO SUBJECT

That the moral man''-that type OF in
ortdual who Ii a good citizen, kind
neighbor. and upright and honest in his
everyday life-who Is considered by many
a dangerous enemy Of religion, is emf
nentiy religious in his secular life and
falls only in that he does not follow
Jesus, was the substance of an interest
ing sermon delivered by the Rev. DR..
Charles Everest Granger, of Gunton
Temple Memorial Church, to his congre-
CATION yesterday.
DR.. Granger took as his subject The
Righteousness Of the Secular Life" He
said in part:
1T is true that there is much In the
secular life which is distinctively re-
ligious. No one can deny that, no one
wants to deny that. There Is much in
the world which is eminently religious
that Is not so labeled. Too little atten-
ton has been given to these things by
men who have made great professions Of
religion. But these things are very prop
erly and very fortunately receiving more
attention from the church and from
Christians than formerly.
while a proper regard should be paid
to the secular life. while its Importance,
its worthiness, and its righteousness
should be recognized and honored. the
mistake must not be made Of consider
most momentous part of life.
''We are brought face to face in this
consideration with our old friend. the
moral man; the man who Is good
citizen, kind neighbor, upright, honest,
truthful. and honorable. and who be-
lieves, or processes to believe. that to
be enough. Many good people particu-
larly church people, have thought the
moral man to be an enemy. a dangerous
enemy to religion. No. he is not an
enemy TO religion. only to spiritual re-
ligion. He is eminently religious in the
secular life, but he has no spiritual life.
And there is where he fails to follow
Jesus. He was not only religious in his
secular life, but he was eminently
spiritual He prayed; He worshiped: He
lived in communion with God. and while
He came in closest touch with the secular
life, He also jealousy cherished the
spiritual side Of life. both for this and
the future world.
THE Righteousness OF the Secular
Life" Oh, IL is a good thing to be a
learner in the school OF ethical culture;
II Is a better thing to be a learner in
the. school Of Christ. for this school of
Christ teaches not only the spiritual re-
hgion. but secular religion. and not only
secular religion, but spiritual religion"
