High Speed Program at
Mass-Meeting.

Organizations which have planned mass
meetings Tor the purpose Of taking steps
to obtain high speed transit facilities

In this way the residents Of various
sections win learn just who Is for and who

and progress.
II is possible that at the meeting OF
Councils on Thursday a resolution Will
Be adopted recommending that an ordl-
nance be passed authorizing the city to
float the loan approved at the recent cleo
tion. This loan carries with II 100000
provision for the relocation Of sewers
within the proposed central loop Of the
Rapid Transit lines. II will be some
time later before Councils can pass an
ordinance authorizing the city to float
the loan. Then 1t must be advertised for
30 days before the necessary appropria-
tions can be made.

people in all sections members of Coun-

NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Investigation of transit conditions in
the northeast has shown that about 10000
people travel daily from that section to
the central business district on the street
cars. Approximately 10000 Of these riders
tive in Frankford, and their forces are
strong enough to compel serious recog-
milton.
It was pointed ont to them in pre-
vious issue OF the EVENING LEDGER that
the high-speed lines recommended by Di-
rector Taylor would save the daily riders
in the northeast $4,000 year by the
elimination Of exchange tickets. AS near
ly IS per cent. Of this saving will be
made by the people OF Frankford, they
are seriously interested.
In addition to the financial saving It
has been shown the proposed elevated
line from that section would save each
rider Is minutes day In time, without
speaking OF the additional comfort In
riding to and from the central part OF
the city. Under present conditions 1t re-
uuires 40 minutes to reach the central
part Of the city from Frankford. The
proposed high-speed line will cut the trip
down to % minutes
The business men of the community
demand better transit service because
they realize there is no inducement to
live in Frankford owing to it's practical
isolation.
There are great opportunities to improve
the entire section II It were not mac
cessible on account of the transit faclll-
ties. Frankford is now divided into two
sections by immense stretches Of land
which borders Frankford avenue, ad-
jacent to the built-up section. Upon this
waste ground hundreds of homes and
business establishments could be erected
and many more streets opened.
All these facts have been imbedded In
the minds of the residents for years, but
the best they could obtain up to the
present time were a few extra lamp
posts, and. occasionally, some improve
ment in the street paving.
They now realize that progress cannot
be made without proper transit facilities,
and they intend to take the first step
in that direction on Thursday night
The Germantown and Chestnut Hill I'M
provenlent Association will hold a meeting
in the interest of rapid transit next FRI
day night at the Library Lecture Room,
in Vernon Park. Director Taylor will
speak on How Rapid Transit VIII Bene-

Transit Proaram In Brief

The transit program provides for the
operation Of all high-speed lines In
conjunction with the surface system,
which will serve as the agent for the
gathering and distributing OF passen-
gers using the hlgh-speed lines with
out extra charge. r
Thus the advantages OF rapid tran
cit will be extended as equally as
practicable to every front door in
Philadelphia.
Passengers will be enabled to travel
in a forward direction between every
important section Of the city and
every other important section OF the
city quickly, conveniently and COM
fortably by way Of the combined sur
face and hlgh-speed lines, regardless
of the number OF transfers required
In 80 doing, for one scent fare.

When We Mediate.

In meditation we are free. We can consider one side and then the other without embarrassment. If we change our opinion because the weight of evi- dence has shifted. there Is no one to exult over us and make us ashamed
 If we recognize that we have been mistaken in our assumptions. there Is no one to say T told you so" We quietly make the necessary adjust
 ments to ever-changing reality, and gc on with our business of thinking. We
 are not required to reach any prede- termined conclusions. We have no
 nervous anxiety to catch any particu-
 lar train of thought. as we are travel ing on our own feet. and are willing
 to put up wherever the night finds us. Hence 1t is that while discussions go on with great vigor, and few are con vinceG except of the righteousness of their own cause. meditation often brings unexpected results. When we
 mediate we sometimes change our minds. This is beneflcent achieve
 ment, for 1t renders 1t unnecessary for us to spend all our strength in at tempting to change the order of the universe and the whole direction of human progress, In order to get a sense of the fitness of things.--S. M. Brothers. in Atlantic.

 Congressman Oldfeld has been opposed in the second district by Tom Campbell, of Pocahontas. and while Congressman Oldfield won handily each time, still the opposition grew a little each time. Now MT. Campbell states that he will take a third trial at the office. believing that the third will be the charm. Judge David l.. King, of Hardy. is also a prospective candidate for the office.

Dogs in Hot Countries.

Dogs, probably the earliest of do mesticated animals, when transferred to a tropical country, such as central Africa. lose in few generations most of the characteristics they have ac- quired in Europe. and revert more and more to the type of the jackal and the wolf. Then their ears, whatever their breed. tend to become pointed. their coats turn sandy or rufous. and their bark becomes nowl. Some attempt has been made to show that this is the result of disease and resembles the effect of malaria on the human con stitution. Yet the Egyptian dog of Pharaonic times possessed. as is seen by the monuments. these very charac- teristics; and as he was certainly do- mesticated before the European anil nal. it 's probable that these are ori- ginal features of the race.

To and the Gadhy.

To. .n Greek mythology, was the daughter of Inachus. first king of Ar gos. She was beloved by Zeus (Jupi- ter), whose wife Hera (Juno), in jeal- ousy. turned her into a heifer and set the hundredeyed Argus to watch her, but the latter was slain by Hermes (Mercury) at the command of Zeus. Hera then sent gadfiy to torment To. which drove her from land to land until she reached Egypt, where she re- gained her true shape, and bore son. Epaphus. According to the tradition, the Bosphorus, which means oxford, got it's name from her swimming across it. According to some tradi- itions To married Ariris or Telegonus. king of Egypt, and was afterwards identified with the Egyptian goddess Isis. It seems that To was identified with the moon; whence she is repre- sented as woman with the horns of . heifer.

His object was otherwise. But you don't know what science is." he wrote. You fancy 1t means mechanical art. and so you have put statue of Science on the Hol- born viaduct. with steam engine regulator in its hands.

 We were glad to see the good attendance at the Thanksgiving services on last Thursday. It spoke well for the Christian people of the community. Pastor Thurman, of the Presbyterian Church, gave an excellent talk Che said he would not preach a sermon.)
 On account of quite a great of sickness, the attendance at the Sunday School has not been quite so good as it has been, but we are hoping that the sick ones will soon be back and that no more of the pupils may be sick.

The ArgAs Correspondent Tells of Newsy Gossip
 in Little Rock
By A. w. PARKE

Considerable comment h a s been caused by the publication of a statement by Dr. J. l.. Greene, retiring a Superinten- dent of the State Hospital for the treatment of Nervous Disease and while the prediction is being freely made that there will be changes made in the State Board |of Charities, dissention in which body caused the resignation, few know that Gov. Geo. w. Hays offered to make changes satis- factory to Dr. Greene if he
 would remain. Dr. Greene states
 that he would have been forced
 to serve on with the old board, l a minority of it harrassing him,
 until May, when the terms O.
 the board members expire. and
 he would have con sented to the request of the Gov ernor but for the fact that as soon as he was Uniformed of the governor s in- tentions, the minority of the
 board renewed their activities,
 making it impossible for him to remain. Dr. Greene moved to
 Hot Springs Tuesday and opened an office there as a specialist in
 nervous diseases.
 When I go out hunting with | a new gun, l always use squid the first time 1 shoot, in order to test lock, stock and barrel. :" says Dr. J. l.. Greene, former Superintendent f the State
 Hospital, ''and the statement 1
 have given out regarding my resignation, is but squid. l have plenty of facts behind to furnish real ammunition, and the public may have second, and more effective volley at any time if the members of the Board of Charities who have fought me are not satisfied with the statements in my first"
 Dr. Green has intimated that if the legislature wants to make an investigation that will be a real one and not a whitewash affair, he stands ready to give testimony that will take the right off the barrel.
 A movement has already been started to secure the return of Dr. Greene to the State Hospit tai and his great interest in the work he has started, and which
 he has only partially under way, lmay influence him to accept if he is given assurance that he can operate the state institution as modern practices demand.
 Modern ideas are repugnant to Bishop H. C. Morrison, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. who presided over a con- ference here last week, particu- larIy the later day doctrines
 concerning Heaven and Hell.
 The man who begins to waver on any of the cardinal teachings of the Bible is going backward" says Bishop Morri- son. The book teaches us there is real Heaven and a real Hell, and believe Tn them eX- plicitly. It is the work of the Devil. this up-to-date way of referring to He'll as a theory, or a punishment on earth. The
 Bible tells us there is a Hell.
 which has terrible torments, and
 there is surely such place."
 One by one the perspective candidates for governor in the
 primaries of l616 drop off, and it is expected that by the middle of 1915 the list will be down to
 25 or 30 of the honest yoemanry
 who would accept the honor if it
