condition. and fast time can be made
over it in the direction of Thomasviile
and Abbottstown. Toll gates along this
pike call for tickets being turned in at
intervals.
AT Abbottstown a turn is taken to the
left at the city square. and on the out
skirts Of the town bear to the right al
the fork in the road. A run of about
six miles from Abbottstown brings the
motOrist into the quaint little town Of
Hanover. The business houses and hotels
are all lined up around the city square
here, and welcome hand is always
given the motorist on his arrival. There
are several hotels here, as in York,
where good meals can be had and the
surroundings prove inviting.
The run south from here to Baltimore
is over good roads, mostly of the gravel
variety and through a section of the
country equally as interesting as on
the earlier part of the trip The dis
lance between Hanover and Baltimore
is about forty-three miles. The road Is
practically a straight one as far as
Reisterstown with the villages of
Pleasant Hill, Manchester and Hamp-
stead scattered en- route. Like through
the state of Pennsylvania a few toll
gates will be found along this route,
the last one being about four miles
from RisterStoWn In the direction of
Baltimore.
At Reisterstown a left turn is made
and the trolley followed and the pike
followed the remainder along the trolley
line into the Monumental city. Balti-
more is entered via Fulton and Penn
sylvania avenues, but by turning right
into Fulton avenue and then left into
Wilkens avenue later on the motorist

and once more on macadam Wilkens
avenue is followed until 1t connects with
Rolling road where turn is taken to
the right and this road followed to Relay.
Just before leaving Relay there is a
steep grade at the foot of which the
railroad tracks cross the path of the
tourist From here the route is through
ST Denis, and where this road joins the
Baltimore Washington boulevard the
motorist again turns sharply to the right
for EIkridge. This boulevard ia oiled

Gaithersburg, where the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad are crossed
on the outskirts of the village and the
road followed in a northerly direction
to Clarksbur Hyattstown and Urbana.
From Gaithersburg the ordinary coun-

Monocacy river bridge a macadam road
offers relief to the motorist. and paves
the way for a delightful run into

When the Valve Goes Wrong.

Sometimes a motor may stop suddenly
from the failure Of the exhaust valve to
seat properly This may be due to its
warping under the heat, and this will
usually occur after the motor has been

spring may have broken. or the stern
may have stuck in its guide through
failure of the lubricating system. The

the attractiveness of the scenery all along

town of Columbia the altitude becomes

A GROWING POWER.

Is thesrerigious spirit OF the American people
waning? We get statistics now and then which
seem to show that IT is: We have dismal fig
ures OF abandoned and untenanted country
churches in the Middle West, of unoccupied
'pews in the great cities. Yet the facts plainly
before us contradict these figures. We have put
before our observation constantly evidence that
the principles and purposes of religion have
stronger hold than ever before, in this country,
on the thought of the people who think, control
more than ever before the action OF the people
stances are before us at the moment In Balti-
more this week a great convention Of advertis-
ing men is being held. Sunday many of the city
pulptts were h1led-and well nlled-by delegates
to the convention who preached strong and stir
ring sermons, all alive with practical and pro-
gressive spirit, but fragrant with religious fervor.
Here our Travellers Protective association was
opened with q great lay meeting at the Second
Baptist church. 1t is not so many years ago
that the travelling man, the drummer" or the
"ad man" with religious convictions and living
according to them was something of a curiosity
and supposed to be abnormal. These men rep
resent the most virile, aggressive forces We have
in our life as n people. are among our most pow
erful and far-reaching influences. They are be-
coming more and more religious, carrying into
the thick and stress of the hurly-burly and striv-
ing the power OF sincere and energetic piety.
The poker playing, free drinking. hard swearing,
tawdry and transient hero of the gaming houses
and red light district type is lessening yearly in
the two great departments Of active business
represented by these conventions. The figures
may show that the number of vacant sittings in
the churches is more in proportion TO popula-
ton than formerly; but the facts prove that the
number OF 'wide-open' towns diminishes and
that the continental Sunday which a few
years ago was Wanted widely and threatened
the whole country. is disappearing. Religious
observance and tendencies are stronger at the
capital. the center OF our political and social
power, than ever before in the history OF our
republic. The men who express the impulses
and execute the purposes of the American people
are strictly loyal to the discipline of their vari-
GUS branches OF the COMMON faith. Taking prac-
teal results and the testimony Of actual condi-
tions az they are put before us, the Inevitable
conclusion is that religion among us is stronger
and more predominant IN our thought and life
than 1t ever has been.

THE WAR LORDS PEACEFUL RE IGN.

The German Krilgsherr, the war lord, as the
youthful William II loved to call himself when
he first assembled the throne. dismissed old Bis
marck and announced his intention of plotting
the destinies of the German empire, will cele-
brate a quarter OF a century Of unbroken peace
on Sunday, June 18th. my mailed fist" has never
been used, though the kaiser spoke OF 1t frequent,
Iy. to the alarm of Europe and the delight Of the
m~ilitants among his subjects. That mailed fist
has been strengthened and the taxes imposed
upon the German people for war purposes have
increased and are increasing, but there has been
no war.
When peace negotiations between Turkey and
the Balkan allies were In progress and the rela-
tions between European nations were strained
to the danger point because Of the attitude of
greed assumed by Austria Hungary Kaiser WILL
helm used his influence for the maintenance Of
peace so that he might finish out his full twenty
FIVE years without war and without war among
any of the big powers of Europe. Conflict was
averted and Sunday he will celebrate twenty-five
years of peaceful rule.
During that quarter OF a century Germany has
grown and prospered. The War Lord has proven
himself a good ruler, in spite Of early wild talk,
and d great man In spite Of the early indiscre.
ton of dismissing the chancellor who had made
the empire.
