TO EVANGELIZE Y. NJ. c. A.
New Rule Requires officers and Direc
tors to Be Christians


Johnstown. Pa, Feb. ga rule
which was passed by the delegates at
the forty-seventh annual State eonven-
tion of Y. NJ. c. A. workers, in session
in this city, is expected to cause same
upheavals among officers and board
members in many Pennsylvania assoei-
ations. This rule insists that all paid
officers of the associations and all mem.
bers of boards of directors must not
only be members of evangelical
churches, but must also be willing to do
earnest personal work among the men
and boys of the associations in an effort
to have them make a stand for the
Christian life.
1t is declared that this rule was
adopted to rid some boards of directors
of men who are hindering the spiritual
work of the association movement. 1t
is said that there are men serving as
officers and board members in this State
who put little stress on the spiritual
side of the work. 1t is thought that
the religious revivals of Sunday and
Slough throughout the State inspired
the originators of the rule.

WORRY
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
BY Samuel G.. Dixon, M. D., Ii.
D., Commissioner of Health

Worry-to choke or strangle says
the dictionary. 1t is not necessary to
seek for the further definition for that
is truly the physical manifestation OF
mental torment.
Worry strangles our mental powers
and ehokes the bodily functions. There
are innumerable instances in which
physical decline and death are directly
traceable to worry.
1t is true that in everyone's life,
force of circumstances, bitter expert
ences and trying problems must be met,
considered and conquered. No matter
how vital these may be or how much
real thought is required in their solu-
tion, worry will never aid and it in
evitably handieaps all efforts to obtain
a clear point of view and the estab-
lishment of true perspective toward
life's happenings.
The ancient philosophers deemed
worry unworthy of men of true mental
attainment. Our physical makeup is so
finely adjusted that any distress of
mind reacts upon the bodily funct ctions.
Excessive anger is often followed by
illness and worry with it's accompany
ing morbid thoughts has like infiu-
ence.
There is close relation between our
physical and mental selves and sound
body is a reserve force behind the
mind. When you are tempted to worry
bestir yourself physically. Exercise in
the open air, long tramp or some sim
liar diversion will oftentimes prove a
sufficient stimulant to aid materially
any mental effort you may make to cast
off the burden.
Another and even more effective
measure is TO keep busy at ones daily
tasks. Occupation, if it be of nature
to require close application, is one of
the most effective cures for worry.

HAS NOVEL MACHINE
Inventor Says 1t viii Fly, Run,
Swim and Dive.
Denver Man Took Rumblebee as
Model for His Remarkable Con-
trivance-WiIl Make Up to
800 Miles an Hour

Denver-William A. Sharpe, a me-
chanic, after 13 years of experiment.
ing, is completing a machine which,
he says, can fly, run, swim and dive.
It is designed to carry four passen-
gers. 1t will derive it's lifting and pro-
polling power from the rotation of
wheels and revolving and oscillating
propellers.
Sharpe is fifty-two years old and a
mechanical engineer, and has pat
ented an automobile starter, an auto-
primer and captive aeroplane.
He is constructing his new combi-
nation machine at Sixteenth and
Broadway He says it will travel on
the ground with the smoothness and
swiftness of racing automobile or
shoot into the air with the perfect
equilibrium and ease OF a swallow, and
be poised there; navigate the ocean
with the speed of a motor boat, or can
be used as submarine. 1t is designed
to attain a speed of from 80 to 300
miles an hour, carrying 1000 pounds
for each 1000 pounds weight of the
car. There are four wheels on the
car, and in each wheel there are four
propellers. The entire vehicle is built
of pressed steel and aluminium.
''The device is designed on we'll
recognized principles" says Sharpe.
Nothing new is attempted in the
steering device, transmission system,
differential, lighting system, gear shift
or motor. l have designed propeller
blades, rotating within the circumfer-
ence of a wheel, which by an ingen-
ious system of opposing or presenting
the broad surface Of the propeller
blades during their downward stroke,
and presenting the edge of the pro-
peller blades during their upward
stroke, exert lifting power of the
combined surface of the blades in an
upward and forward motion.
Il have planned to spend $4,000 on
my first machine, although the cost of
the machines when put on the market
will be no more than a standard auto
mobile. The body of my car will be
IS feet long and 80 inches wide. The
wheels are "a inches in diameter and
weigh 100 pounds and will make 400
revolutions per minute.
For years / made study of the
humble bumblebee and came to the
conclusion that if machine could be
constructed embodying the principles
of flight employed by the bee it would
be success in both air and water"

odies, to their hearts content. There
isn't a couple that doesn't vote the
dinner and dance a huge success, and
wish they could attend one six nights
in the week. Girls do not get tagged
out and look tired despite their youth
and vivacity.
Dinner courses between the dances
are a wonderful beauty preserver. The
wonder is that it was not thought Of
before. Pink lemonade was very de-
lightful, but the dinner from con-
somme to nuts, leaves nothing more to
be desired. Very often girl takes a
precious souvenir home-the heart of
the young man who accompanied her
to the delightful affair. The progress
sive dinner and dance is a reality
which fills long-felt want. The girls

terrupted chat with different part

much to it's credit for lovers to be
thankful for.

problem of the unemployed The
hotel" an old, dilapidated building
belonging to the city, was put in the
care of Jeff" Davis, who believes he
can get the hobos together and run
the hostelry on cooperative scheme.
Every hobo will have to go out every
day and do some work of some sort.
In return for his labors he will get
nights lodging and plenty of grub
This plan is also expected to furnish
the city at a moderate cost with any
extra large amount Of laborers it may
have need of in any emergency. The
food supply of the hotel will consist
Of voluntary contributions, but no
hobo need expect to feed at the ex-
pense of the others. Jeff" Davis has
had considerable success with a sim
liar plan in Seattle and other western
cities where he has been a great fac
tor in relieving unemployment, and he
hopes his efforts in the metropolis
will bear the same fruit.

DANCE, EAT, AND DANCE AGAIN.

Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which
spake again,
And all went merry as marriage bell.
There's a new fad, and the girls
want to know all about it. You may
be sure it has something to do with
dancing, for the pretty creatures seem
to be dance mad. Everyone is trying
to get up a new innovation that will
keep the girls still twirling the light
fantastic and be a magnet to draw
young men to the dance, as we'll
A happy thought struck some one
between dances to dine. New York
was first to adopt It; to see whether
It would, become a fashionable craze
or turn out to be frost. The one
who introduced the novel fad of dane
ing between the dinner courses was
crazy, remembering the old adage,
"The way to a mans heart is through
his stomach" He may grow weary of
dancing, but of dining, with Ills best
girl seated by him at the table
never!-well, hardly ever.
This is the way it is conducted: A
party at the first table sits down to
dine at 1870 in the evening. While
they are enjoying the first course,
dancing begins promptly for the rest.
After one or two dances the manager
in charge blows the whistle. Those
at the table, having disposed of the
course, arise, giving their seats at
table to others, taking their place to
dance. The second whistle bids the
party who dined first to partake of
the second course at table No. 2;
and so on until they have reached the
fifth, sixth or seventh table, which
represents the number of courses to
be served.
The small tables are placed at the
side walls, and accommodate two at
each table Twenty tables are the re-
quired number for forty couples. While
one half of the guests ere dining the
other half are dancing. 1t takes the
entire evening to dine, dance and
dine again After all have dined to
the strains of enchanting music all
join in dancing. Everyone is happy,
therefore jolly. They've had splen-
did dinner, there's been chance for
the men to make love to their pretty
companions and trip to the merry

Our Teachers.

1t may be safely said that many
schools in which morals are never
taught from textbooks, or by formal
exercises, furnish most stimulating
drill in the higher and finer moralities
every day. Many of us know teach
ers, who, without much preaching, con
vey, in all their intercourse with their
pupils, the influences and qualities
which purify and invigorate character
A considerable acquaintance with
teachers impresses me with the belief
that the feeling of their responsibility
for the moral welfare of their pupils.
and their appreciation Of the values
of character, are steadily deepening
among them. No profession is SO
sacred that shallow and self-seeking
persons do not find a place in it; but
/ believe that as much seriousness and
devotion may be found among the
teachers of our common schools as
among any other class Of persons-the
clergy not excepted. = Washington
