DR.. Slough to Take
Another Crack at
the Booze Interests

Before a tabernacle almost full of
men who braved the storm DIR. Slough
yesterday afternoon gave his sixth lee
ture to men only on "Chaining the
Giant" This was to have been the
last of the series, but the campaign
being extended another week. the final
crack at the devil before the men of
Harrisburg will be given next Sunday
afternoon. when the subject will be

was based on the story Of Samson. the
man of might. who boasted OF his
strength and trusted in it so much that
1t brought about his downfall
The young men Of to-day" said the
evangelist, who strut about in their
manly power and sav they have no
fear of God, man or devil think they
are immune from the clutches of evil.
but every one of them has weak spot
in his character which the devil will
discover sooner or laterS Like Achilles.
they all have a vulnerable spot, and
like him they will love out somedav if
they trust in their own strength alone.
Many Broken Down Samson
Thousands of young men are SELL
ing their strength for a mess of pleas
ure, or money. or power, and are
trifiing with sin with the boast that
they have the will power to stop when
they please. But like Samson in his
last days in the treadmill of the Philis-
tines. they will end by becoming
hitched up in evil habits that cannot
be easily broken. If you want to see
some of these modern broken-down
Samsons. just go any night into the
saloons of the city
DIR. Slough told the stories of some
of the men who had been converted
from drunkards by the power of Christ
in the Water Street Mission, conducted
by Jerry McCauley, in New York city
he said that any man. no matter how
FAR sunk. has Yet one more chance by
accepting Christ, and in illustration of
this he related a story of how Paul
Murphy. the famous chess PLAYER
when he was shown a picture called
the Game of Life. in which tn devil
had young man checkmated. studied
the situations of the chessmen on the
painted board and figured out one
more move that the young man might
make and save himself from the
clutches of the devil. So, said DR..
Slough. each man may have vet an
other chance If he will but take ad-
vantage of it.
At the close OF the talk, when DR..
Slough asked how many men in the
audience had hit the trail during the
six weeks. hundreds stood up in ali
parts of the tabernacle. Then he asked
those who wanted to be better to stano
with the others and many more got up. /
Bartender Testifies
All the men came toward the front
and several got on the platform with
DR. Slough and testified. One of then,l
was the bartender who hit the trail
two weeks ago. He was followed by a

SEC. DANIELS WANTS
SIX NEW DESTROYERS

S5OO,O0O
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. - Secretary
Daniels told the House naval commit
tee to-day that while all the battle
ships in reserve were not supplied with
shells, every dreadnaught and every
other battleship in the active line was
equipped but did not, however, have
an adequate reserve supply.
That said the secretary. lis no
navy secret"
He declared the navy was making
torpedoes at Newport for $4,000 each;
more than $1,000 less than her price
at which private concerns supply
them; asked the committee to author
ize more than six new destroyers, in
view of the prices at which Saturdays
bids were accepted; told that the board
was making tests of a new shell prom
ising great results for all attacking
submarines and urged an appropria-
ton of $500, 1000 for a government pro-
jectile plant.
An English company making a SUI
perior shell, he said, had offered the
the United States it's process for $1O,-
600 and the navy has taken an op-
ton.
Representative Gardner continued
his movement for investigation of the
national defenses by writing letters TO
the chairmen of the naval and mill
tary committees urging examination OF
army and navy officers.
Secretary Daniels said tests COM
pIeted ten days ago on coal from Alas
ka Matanuska fields had proved prac-
tically perfect.
The report of successful naval tests
of Matanuska coal was sprung as a
surprise by the secretary who was
elated particularly because OF plans
going forward for the Alaska railway

front of DR.. Slough and Professor
Spooner asked the men who had at
tended on the other side of the bar to
get on the platform behind them. The
place was jammed in a minute and
hundreds more were unable TO find
room.
Confession cards were then circu-
lated and signed by more than ninety
men who had not already hit the trail.

At the beginning of the service DIR.
Slough said the devil has a bad stom-

that the rummies are on the run. He
declared that one liquor dealer who

did only $4,000 in November. and that
the increase in legitimate trade was
being shown plainly in dollars and
cents.
He introduced Mr.. Sherwood his
chief counsel in the four libel cases for
$4,000 each now being brought
against him in Luzerne county. Mr..
sherwood made few remarks to the
erect that he has never known a man
who has taken bolder stand against
the liquor business than DR.. Slough.
He said he does not know which is
the greater evil, the devil or liquor.
which is the devil in solution
He advised the men of Harrisburg
to stick to their great stand against
booze and not to wohble afterward.
He said the great trouble is that
church people are too weak in their
protests against evil. in Wilkes Barre

tian voters registered at the polls.

times she has spent her summer vaca-

ter tit her for the place.
Control Not Severe
one of the most noticeable things
about a schoolroom of mentally de-
ficient children is the lack of order
and department. The pupils sing. talk
aloud and move about at will. This
absence of discipline is part of the Sys-
tenn. The dull mind is by nature stub
born and will not tolerate severe con-
troll. To win the confidence and love
of such children is the chief effort of
the teacher and then TO keep them
sweet tempered and fond of school.
Even her tone of voice is always one
Of cheeriness and encouragement The
result is excellent attendance with
many OF the pupils coming from long
distance. In the Hamilton school there
are twenty this season and in the Mel
rose. eighteen.
Their physical culture exercise is
turned into games full of life. Music
and song is interspersed frequently
with folk dancing. With wide-open
windows they are given a dose of pure
air in manner which partakes of the
nature of d romp instead of a duty.
A casual glance over a room full
of these youngsters resembles. with a
few important exceptions, room in
the average grammar school. There
are ruddy cheeks. bright eyes and lit
tie faces full of interest. But a closer
study unfolds the tragedy of child
hood. That little chap of eight in
point OF years is really fourteen. That
dark-haired girl verging upon maiden
hood is degenerate and needs con-
slant supervision. A little girl of nine
or ten has a fairly good brain but
throat paralysis has made her speech
so defective that her development is
retarded.
In one of the schools is a little AL
bino girl, her snow-white hair in a
heavy braid down her back. Her pc
cuiiar pink eyes are like cats. bright
and sparkling on a cloudy day, but
dim and dull on sunny one. She
is what is known as backward" the
direct result of prenatal aenemia
Home Influence Big Factor
There is a very natural reserve
among the parents of defective chill
dren which. however. makes the
teachers part more difficult. AS each
child requires being understood and
taught, watched and helped ,individu-
ally. it would greatly aid her TO know
OF the home influences. the past ill
nesses OF the child or of it's antece-
dents. Could the parents only under
stand the wonderful blessings to their
aitiicted children that these special
schools bring, this false pride would
go down before gratitude.
In these children one sees dhe eff
feet and very naturally inquiries the
cause. All. there is one of the sad
dest parts of the story-the frailty of
human nature, OF course, there are
cases of infantile paralysis and other
terrible illnesses OF babyhood, but the
grim fact remains that the majority
are directly traceable to alcohol,
cruelty and malnutrition of prospec-
tive motherhood and the heredity re-
suits of sin and vice. Truly. as we are
taught, it is "the innocent who suffer
for the guilty.
