THE SWEET SINGER
BY Walt Mason


A flood of music rushes from rob-
ins and from thrushes, from night
ingale and wren, high vocal tri-
umphs tackling-but | prefer the
cackling of my old Leghorn hen. All
trills and MARBLES scorning, she
cackles in the morning, and does 1t
all by ear; and evermore her sing
ing to me fresh joy is bringing |
know an egg is near. The night
ingale and robin have voices sweet
and throbbin', but that is all you
get: while my old hen, whose carol
energies from a barrel, provides an
omelet. My phonagraph, on wind
ing. good music will keep grinding,
as sweet as that of wrens; 1t repro
duces voices in which the world
rejoices-but won't lay eggs like
hens. My Leghorn hen is raising
a song of humble phrasing, that
Melba'd never dare; and shortly |
will wander out to the stable yonder,
and find some henfruit there. The
skylark is dinger, the robin, as
a singer, high recognition begs; but
my old Leghorn's trilling my breast
with rapture's filling, because it
means more eggs.

homes who at the beginning OF each
school year will hear their pastors
entreating God for them, for their
teachers and for their fellOw-pupils
throughout the whole nation, that
the true ends OF education may be
accomplished through the studies
and the discipline of their schools.
The general observance Of the
suggested Day of Prayer will afford
to pastors, in so far as they wish to
embrace it, natural opportunity to
inculcate vital truth concerning the
whole work of education, and its
relation to the moral and spiritual
welfare of the child, and to our Ma
tional Christianity.
II anything more is needed to
commend this proposal to devout
and thoughtful minds, a glance at
the petitions which will naturally
be offered on such day Of concert
ed duplication will suffice. Pastors
and churches, Bible schools and
families, will pray that all school
teachers and school officers be
guided and helped in their re-
sponsible work; that blessing
may attend the reading of the
Bible and other Christian literature
in the schools, and all instruction,
counsel and discipline which have
for their end the moral improve
ment of the pupils; that the vices
and sins that often creep into
schools may be eifectually restrain
ed; that all atheistic and I'M
Christian tendencies in the world
Of education, as we'll as all influ-
ences which would prevent the
schools TO any sectarian ends, may
be successfully withstood; that the
nation may have the wisdom TO use
her vast all-embracing system OF
education for those moral results
which will promote the true well
fare and glory Of the nation: and
finally, that the Spirit Of God, who
is the Fountain of Light, may pre-
side over the schools, quickening
and sustaining all intellectual en-
deavor, and leading teachers and
pupils, by all the paths of learning,
TO Him who is the source of all
wisdom and virtue. Merely 10 state
such subjects OF prayer is, in our
judgment, to justify abundantly the
suggestion OF the Association, and
to secure for il the hearty endorse
ment Of Christian educators and
leading citizens throughout the ma
ton.

Police at Three Points Along Jitney
Routes Keep. Track OF Httle
Complaints Of Noises.

At three points along the routes
taken by jitney bus operators police
were stationed yesterday to keep tab
on the poor mans" automobiles. The
officers spent most of the day clock
ing or counting the number of cars
passing during fifteen minute inter-
walls.
The information Is being gained for
the ONCE of the city attorney, 1t is
said, for the purpose of aiding argu-
ment for the dissolution of the in
junction obtained by the independent
jitney operators several days ago re-
straining the city from enforcing the
ordinance regulating jitney traffic.
Points at which the officers were
stationed yesterday were Seventh and
Broad Streets, Grove Avenue and
Lombardy Street, and Laurel and
Franklin Streets. Complaints have
been made to the police by residents
in the West End of undue noises
made by the Jitneys. There were
about 100 titneys on the streets yes
terday.
The Motors Transit Corporation yes-
terday filed bond for $1,000, and ten
more cars of the Virginia Railway
and Power Company subsidiary went
into operation. That company now
has twenty cars operating under the
ordinance. The Virginia Railway and
Power Company has one big electric

why German Socialists Demand Peace.
Az the Prussian Junkers and the
National Liberal indivfdualists ex-
ercise their victorious fancies on the
various economic gains which are to
follow German successes in the field,
the German Socialists nave returned
to their old settled conviction that
modern war Is a function and express
sion Of modern capitalism. They see
the blood of their dead comrades fer
tiIizing the business of Hamburg
shippers and metafiurEical trusts.
II Is for the iron of Lorraine and
Morocco. the railways of Belgium and
the markets of Turkey that the war is
being waged today. Their perception
of that CHASTITY fact is of course oualiy
fled by the knowledge that similar
conditions exist in the rival camp.
They no more desire to collapse be-
fore the appetites of the coalition
than they wish to aid German dreams
of world-dominion. They have, &C
cordingly, chosen their moment. They
have called for peace while German
arms are evidently victorious.
Their good gesture may have its
consequences for the time being. and
for some time to come. 1t may in
spire German diplomacy TO make some
Indirect effort to secure peace. 1t
might sap the aggressive spirit Of the
German armies II that effort were
too long delayed. But emphatically
1t Is not a sign of weakness. and II
the fortunes OF war should turn, II
the Allies could invade German soil
and threaten partitions, spoiiations,
indemnities-then. once more, we may
be certain, German Socialism would
rally to the defence of Germany.-The

ate and the House of Delegates, to
be voted upon at the primary next

claims for the support of the citizens,
and the meeting was regarded by the

one.
That there was no apparent pre-
ference for any candidate of candi-
dates and that each was accorded a
rousing, II non-committal, reception,
were noticeable features OF the gath
ering. Several representatives of the
votes for women" movement were
