Lees Suggestion
May Result In New
Fish-Oyster Bill

ANNAPOLIS. MD, Feb. 11.--Mr. W.
Mcdonald Lee, chairman of the Viz
GINA State fisheries commission, today
appeared before the legislative COM
mittee engaged in trying 10 ADJUST the
oyster troubles in this State.
MIR Lee explained at considerable
length and with great ciearness the
manner in which Virginia has for some
years been handling this question. an
swering in detail many questions on
which the members of the committee
desired information.
Just what may be the result OF the
aeIiber atoms OF the committee cannot
at this time be announced, but from
expressions heard on all sides II in
more than. likely that the recommends
tons and suggestions of Mr.. Lee will
be embodied in a bill and presented
for consideration at the present SEES
sion.
MIR. Lee outlined his work for the
last eight years, the remarks being
corroborative Of his report, which he
presented to the members for their
consideration. The fact that such ex-
cellent work has been done by Virginia
and that the oyster industry is in such
excellent condition, was the subject OF
much favorable comment on the part
OF the legislators who heard him.

Bryan and the Missionaries.

Missions! Secretary Of State Bryan
was right when he told Christian
Chinese students, whom he was ad-
dressing at Kansas City. that they
were the ones who should propagate
Christianity in China. Mr.. Bryan
who. in his tour Of the world several
years ago. visited and studied many
missions. has reached the viewpoint
of all progressive missionaries that tho
best Christian work in any non-Chris-
tan land may be done by the natives
who have been converted Every
such country, when 1t reaches the
point where it can adequately carry
forward its religious work without
outside interference, should be. left
free to organize its own church and

and women to assume the leadership
in the educational, civic and religious
life of their country. The young
Chinese who are in this country study
ing will be in position admirably to
carry out this suggestion OF Mr..
Bryan. Having come into personal
contact with western civilization, they
will be heard the more readily in their

matters, but upon the Christian re-

CITIZENS LIKE SITE
FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY
F nance Committee Of Council
Seeks Further Information
Before Acting.

After hearing many citizens ap-
prove the proposition of securing the
letter section OF the Richmond college
for a. municipal library. the finance
committee last night adjourned to
further consider the mater.
1t was brought out. forcibly. BY
many leading citizens that II would be
a good thing to establish public
library on the site of the Richmond
college.
Several members OF the comulNtee
questioned the proposition OF placing
a library ut that point. because OF the
fact that those who wish to use
public library are people who do not
live in the residential sections as rep
resented by those residing in the Tar
west end.
Among those who spoke for the
proposition were Wyndham n. Mere

OF course. we all know the old truism
that nature abhors a vacuum-and We
dismiss the idea without applying It IN
any personal way to our own lives. But

and laboratory life It is equally 50 In
the vast field OF humanity. There Is
nothing that is more unnatural and
harder 10 endure than a life that Is
based on nothing and filled with nothing.
The Woodworking folk who must grub
for their very needs have no right to be
half as sorry for themselves as they are
for the poor creatures who have to strug-
gle to fiil their empty lives. Even II all

empty life' there Is a very painful kind
OF misery. Of which lifs's busy workers
are mercifully ignorant.
The sufferers from empty lives' may
be divided into several classes. First Of
all. one thinks OF the society woman
who. having no main interest. fills up
her existence with all sorts Of fads and
fanoies. The worker envies the idler
