HymnaI Quotations.

After all the players have been pro-
vided with pieces of paper and pencils
they each write a line from a we'll
known hymn. 1t need not be the first
verse of a hymn or the last, but may
be taken from any part of the hymn
that occurs to the player. The papers
are then folded and after being well
shuffied are redistributed. so that each
player gets some one elSe's paper
The players are then requested to
write the verse in which the line given
them occurs.
This game can be played just as
well without paper and pencils. The
Gle. and one player commences the
game by quoting any line from favor
tie hymn. The next player must re-
peat the next line. and so on till the
verse is finished. The next player may
either go on with the next verse or
commence a fresh hymn For instance,
if the first player quotes,
There is green hin far away.
the. second player must continue:
without city wall. ....
The next:
Where the dear Lord was crucifed.
And the next:
Who died to save us all.
The fifth player may either continue
the hymn or start afresh with a line
from his own particular favorite.

Bird Whistles.

Materials Required.-A small toy tea.
pot, quill, piece Of elder or willow
wood
Remove the spout from the teapot
and make a whistle out of the quill.
When this is done fit the whistle into
the hole in the teapot where the spout
is broken off If you half ill the tea
pot with water and blow at the other
end of the quill, clear, birdlike notes
will be produced. Another and simpler
way is to make a whistle out of piece
of elder or willow and place one end
of it in your mouth and the other just
under the surface of glass of water.

FOR The CHILDREN
Tin Soldiers.

/ have two little soldier men
In caps and coats of red.
I leave them on the nursery shelf
When l go off to bed.
But just as soon as l have gone
And they think can't see
They start to do the strangest things
1t quite surprises me.
One night they lifted up the lid
Of my JaclS-in-the-boX.
When Jack popped out they hid
Behind my pile of building blocks,
And when they saw that funny face,
oh. my, but they did run.
I almost laughed out loud. but that
Might have spoiled all the fun.
You ought to hear them shoot their gun
1t makes an awful noise
You'd never think to hear them
That they were only toys.
Perhaps they wouldn't do these things
If they knew that L could peep.
But L wonder why they always wait
Till they think I'm asleep.

Cars Take Crippled
Children to School

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-Father
Penn is some sport, according to the
school children of Philadelphia when
they saw for the first time two large
automobiles similar to ''rubbr-neck wag-
ons. with the words Bureau OF Educa-
ton on the body OF the cars. The au-
tomobiles were built by a private con-
cern which has the contract for convey
ing crippled children to and from school,
an innovation that will be inaugurated
at the coming school session. The cars
have just been completed and will go in
TO commission next month. This new
phase Of public school conveniences Is
one of the results Of the school course
taken by a number OF city officials and
school heads this summer al the Uni
versity of Wisconsin
The system which is being tried prob
ably is the first of its kind in the coun-
try. A motor car company has con-
tracted TO convey the physically dis
abled children to the schools in the
morning and take them home in the al
ternoon. The Horace Binney School has
been selected for the experiment, and
If II proves successful other schools N

PURCHASES GARAGE
Church Street Business Bought
by Veteran Motor Car
Dealer. ' /

Having embarked in the automobile
business when the curve-dash Oldsmo-
bile was first introduced in Washington.
Joseph H. PiIling is entitled to be
ranked as one Of the pioneers in the
motor car business here. It was in 1908
that Pilling saw the great possibilities
Of this industry, and since then he has
been an important factor.
For four years Joe" Pilling, as he is
popularity known to hundreds OF motor
lists, has been connected with the. Stude-
baker Corporation OF America, travelling
through the Southern territory as a
salesman from the Washington branch
Of that company. He, has wide ac-
quaintance among the automobile men
In the Southern section Of the country.
Pilling's latest venture Is the Church
street garage, which ne has just taken
over and which he will conduct along
lines that are, sure to make it one OF
the best-known establishments OF the
kind in Washington.
He is an Elk. member Of the Masonic
fraternity, the American Automobile
Association, and the Washington Mo-
torists' Association.

MOTOR STYLE RULED
BY WQMAN'S DRESS
Prevailing Fashions in Corsets
Have Forced Changes in
Car Bodies and Seats.

That woman's dress and fashions
dominate the world Of business and
manufacture Is once more demonstrated
by the effect that prevailing corset
styles have had on the construction ol
motor cars. Not only have seat cush-
ions been forced to accommodate them
selves to the new figures. but-the design
of the body Of the automobile, its spring
construction and other elements Of the
chassis have been affected.
Not SO long ago many automobile ad-
vertisements featured an extreme depth
of upholstering. They emphasized the
slope of the seat forms They accented
their comfort devices designed to suit
WASTED, narrow-hipped corset and the
sheath skirt have altogether changed
the seat model now needed for comfort.
Today the shape of the automobile
seat must be quite different from that Of
two or three years ago. The upholster-
present dress models. What was COM
Portable, even luxurious, not 50 very
long ago Is torture under present con-
ditions. Women today demand entirely
different shapes of seats and cushions.
The alert motor-car manufacturer
thinks of all these things in advance.
He forecasts styles. He takes his wife
ard women relatives into consultation
with him before he puts out new car.
After his experimental seats and cush-
a trial. Big women and little women,
tall women and short women, easily
pleased women and fussy women. all
are asked for their opinions. Thus q
seat and cushion style is reached that.
as nearly as possible. is suited to all.
Howard G. Kneessi, manager Of the
Hudson Automobile Company, claims
that in the building Of the new Hudson
six all these things have been taken
into consideration. The result. he says,
has been the procuring of a type OF
motor-car body and upholstery that Is
proving delightfully."- comfortable, even
