LARGE BOUQUETS GIVEN
HILLS EVANCELISTS
Foundrymen and Patternmakers United
in rendering Handsome Floral
Souvenirs to Those in Charge Of
Tabernacle Services in the Borough

Prior to the opening of the evange'
listic meeting in the tabernacle last
evening, large delegation of EN-
ployes of the foundry and pattern de-
partment of the local steel company
marched to the meeting place from
Front and Trewick and Front and Lo-
Gust streets in a body.
The delegation carried with ii num-
Der of choice floral emblems which were
later presented to the Rev. and Mrs. C,
E. Hills and the Rev. L. Stahl. The
most striking emblem of the lot was a
huge basket. standing five feet high to
the top of the handle.
Evangelist Hills took his text last
night from Acts 1880, "What must
l do to be saved7' He said when a re-
vival gets rightly started in town the
hoodlums always begin to noodle, like
some are doing here now. When the
preaching of the Gospel begins to pinch
the toes of some people they begin to
say: "This thing must stop The
greatest question for any man to settle
is, "What must | do to be saved9'
You are not saved because you wear
good clothes and are rich. If you are
going to be saved you must be saved
by one way and one way only. You
can t be saved on your wife's religion.
You are not saved by the lodge. The
lodge is not a soul-saving institution.
The lodge is all right in its place, but
the church is first. Don t put your
lodge first if you are Christian; if
you do you will be damned.
"You can't be saved by the cere-
monies in the church. You are not saved
by the church. If you are trusting your
church membership alone to save you,
you will not be saved. No creed can
save you. You cannot be saved by your
feelings. You will never get the feeling
that You are a Christian until you are
one. You ought to take your stand for
Christ because it is right, whether you
have any feeling about the matter or
not. There is nothing in the word of
God which says you can be saved by
living good, moral life. Being a Chris
tian is living a life. 1t is the blood of
Jesus Christ that saves.
The Revs. A. G. Bossler, Weidenham-
er, c. Brunner and William Smith were
visitors last night. The subject of

the expense of Burgess Wigfeld, the

for more hilarity on the part of the
audience, than some Others.

the close of musical act which was
splendidly performed.

Each of the soloists was accompan-

great ability in keeping the fun NOV

immigration From the Far East Detri-
mental to United States.
In the annual report of A. Caminetti,
commissioner general of immigration,
the following reference to immigrants
from the far east is made
Il believe it is quite generally con
ceded that immigration from the far
east is detrimental to the welfare of
the United States, not because it has
heretofore been so extensive in num-
bers, but because of its peculiar eff
feet upon the economic conditions and
the possibilities of an almost unlimited
increase in volume if left unregulated
and unchecked. Our oriental immi-
grafton problem, arising more than
quarter of century ago. has never
been satisfactorily solved The exclu-
sion laws need many amendments,
not in purpose, but in prescribed
method.
The Hindu propaganda, as yet in its
infancy, is calculated to give much
trouble unless promptly met with
measures based upon and modelled to
take advantage of our past expert
ence in trying to arrange practicable
and thorough, but at the same time un-
Objectionable, plans for the protec-
ton of the country against an influx
of aliens who cannot be readily and
healthfully assimilated by our body

This Gigantic Volcano Is Worthy Ri
val to Vesuvius.
The lofty volcanoes of the Hawaiian
Islands, rising above the ocean from
5000 to nearly $4,000 feet, are only the
SUBMITS of gigantic mountain masses
that rise abruptly from the bottom of
the Pacific Mauna Loa, on the island
of Hawaii, stands 1885 feet above
sea level, but its slopes descend be
meath the sea, as shown by deep sea
soundings, with grade fully equal to
if not greater than that of the visible
slopes. The same is generally true of
the submarine slopes OF other islands,
and the depths attained by these con-
tinuous slopes. within thirty to fifty
miles of the shores, vary from 14,000
to 10000 feet. Mauna Loa and Mauna
Kea, IL their true bases are considered
to be at the bottom of the Pacific, are
therefore mountains of as great an alh-
tude as Mount Everest, or approx
mately 10000 feet. In general the
Hawaiian Island group consists of
SUBMITS of gigantic submarine
mountain chain which projects only
its loftier peaks and domes above the
water On the island Of Hawaii the
volcanic forces are still in operation.
The one continuously active volcanic
vent of the island Is Kilauea, far down
on the eastern flank of Mauna Loa-

Loa In the vastness Of It's mass or in
the magnitude Of its eruptive activity.
There are many volcanic peaks higher
in the air, but most Of them are plant
ed upon elevated platforms, where they
appear as mere cones of greater or less
size. 1t Is not yet known at what level
the base of Mauna Loa is situated, but
1t is below the sea, probably far below.
Mauna Kea-"the white mountain"
lis also a colossus among volcanoes.
Its summit, 1885 feet, is a trifle high
er than that of Mauna Loa, but its
slopes are sleeper, and its base is there
fore much smaller. The magnitude of
Mauna Loa is due chiefly to the great
area Of its base, which is nearly clip
tical in shape, with a major diameter
of seventy-four miles and a minor di-
| ameter of fifty-three miles, measured
| at sea level.
In the aggregate of its eruptions
Mauna Loa is also unrivaled. Some Of
the volcanoes of Iceland have been
known to disgorge at a single outbreak
masses Of lava fully equal to those of
Mauna Loa But such outbursts are
infrequent in Iceland, and century
has elapsed since any of such magni-
tude have occurred, though there have
been several minor eruptions. The
eruptions of Mauna Loa are all of
great volume and occur irregularly, at
an average interval of about eight
years. In view of the total quantity
| of material it has dsgorged during the
last century no other volcano is at all
| comparable to it-From a Bulletin Of
the United States Geological Survey.

L. D. Brandeis Says Adoption of Plan
Would improve Labor Conditions.
Louis d. Brandeis, testifying before
the New York state factory investigat-
ing commission spoke in favor of the
minimum wage.
Mr.. Brandeis is counsel for the in
dustrial welfare commission of Oregon,
which just now has test case before
the United States supreme court to de
termine the constitutionality of the
minimum wage law which was adopted
year or so ago in the state.
He declared that thousands of inef-
ficient girls and women who are now
earning below what is commonly term
ed the living wage will be thrown
out of employment altogether just as
soon as the legislature passes bill es-
tablishing a minimum wage in this
state.
1T is true" said Mr.. Brandeis, that
the minimum wage law here would.
mean the dismissal or elimination of
many, but it would be highly desirable,
to the whole number. At present very
few persons in 100 are efficient, and
large number-up to fifty in 10o-are
inefficient SO there would be bound
to be elimination of some in favor of
others.
"But at the same time" he added.
''the minimum wage would mean bet
ter salaries and better conditions for
those remaining-the surviyors-and
for them life would be worth living
That in itself would increase the self
respect of the great army of employed
women, and with the increase of self
respect will come increased efficiency
which, of course. will in the end be OF
benefit to the EMPLOYER"

There is today too great differ

"Do you think the workingman
should have voice in the arrange
ment of the conditions under which
he labors|" he was asked.
THE workingman should have not
only q voice-he should have a com
pelling voice. And he is getting it.

you like, but it is a job of the United

it not for philanthropic work there

Castinn Metals.

AS is well known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others,
like iron, can readily be cast in any
desired shape. The property of cast
ing well is said to depend upon wheth-
er the metal contracts or expands on
solidifying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying. and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it.
The expansion causes 1t to fill the die
into which it is poured. and so it can
be cast easily. Gold and silver con
tract in cooling and therefore are not
suitable for casting. Exchange
