By WILLIAM G.. SHEPHERD.

LONDON, Sept. lit is Wednesday night,
September the 9th. Above the din of the or
chestra there sweeps over the theater a cavern
Gus, bass "BOOM!'
"Zeppelinv whispers a pretty girl sitting
next to Scotch officer.
No." you hear his whisper, cts door
banging"
He's lying and knows it.
Zeppelin"
The whisper runs through the audience
If you knew what was transpirng in the
street, you'd be out there, instead of waiting for
the last act to end. Such scene is being en-
acted out there as the old town of London, in
all is rich, thousand-year history never before
beheld.
Roar From Streets
The curtain goes down. You file out Of the
theater into a crowded street. Traffic is at
standstill. million quiet cries make subdued
roar. Seven million people of the biggest city
in the world stand gazing into the sky from the
darkened streets.
Here is the climax to the twentieth century.
Among the autumn stars floats long, gaunt
Zeppelin. 1t is dull yellow-the color of the har-
vest moon.
The long fingers of searchlights, reaching up
from the roofs of the city, are touching all sides
Of the death messenger with their white tips
Great booming sounds shake the city. They
are Zeppelin bombs-falling -killing-burning
Lesser noises-of shooting-are nearer at hand;
the noise of aerial guns sending up shrapnel
into the sky.
For Gods sake! Don't do that says one
man to another who has ust struck match to
light cigarette.
Whispers low voices, run all through the
streets.
There's a red light in the sky over there;
our house may be burning" exclairs woman,
clutching at a mans coat.
There are million houses in London; why
ours partcularly?" he responds.
Flashes of Shrapnel
group of men talking French stand gazing
up from the street. They are in walters clo.hes
and have rushed out from the supper-room of
one of the most luxurious hotels in tho world.
THE devils!' excains one, and tlIen--
We've got tit can't get away! There's
shrapnel all aroynd it!'
"Oh-my neck" says pretty girl in even
ing wraps. Il can't look up minute more"
But she does.
All about you are beautifully garbed woa,en,
and men in evening clothes Obs and Abs"
long drawn out-exclamations Of admiration like
the the sounds made by American crowds watch
~ ing freworks-greet the brilliantly white flashes
of shrapnel.
Suddenly you realize that the biggest city
in the world has become the night battlefield on

The Washington times., 1915-09-11

Ninety-five per cent Of industrial
workers showed arterial deteriora-
ton and disturbed kidney action, as
against 80 per cent Of clerks. The
difference may be represented by
the fact that the average age Of the
mechanics was thirty-two years, Of
the clerks twenty-seven years.
The men who live in the city and
sit at desks need not be envious Of
their more brawny but not healthier
brethren of the field and shop. Both
classes may we'll consider the con.
clusion that DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk
of the Life Extension Institute
reached from these figures an6
stated in an address before the
American Public Health Association
at Rochester:
These [fgures] fully indicate q
widespread and prematurely physi.
cal decay among widely separated
groups. Man has grown used to the
conditions Of impairment. of physi-
cal ineficiency, of premature decay
and death. He must be aroused to
the possibility Of longer life, of bet.
ter life and of higher enjoyment.

which seven million harmless men, women, and
children live.
Here is War at the very heart of civilization,
threatening all the millions of things that human
hearts and human minds have created in past
centuries. Mourners tonight will leave the side
of the dead to look into the sky fearfuly. Little
children who have said: Nov lay me- and
have gone to sleep, will be awakened and rushed
into cellars to save them from death.
There are more cries.
London Transformed
Good God It's staggering!'-as a shrap-
mel flash breaks, apparently, near the great air
ship.
But the Zeppelin. moves on steadily.
What roar Of Joy would 20 up from the mil
lions of this great city if they could suddenly see
the yellow object transformed into the flash of
one gigantic gas explosion
Little white-gloved hands clap their approval
at the Zeppelns near approach to death; white
teeth sparkle in smiles, men roar with delight.
These men and women, flowers of twentieth GEN.
tury culture, have become elemental. Dirty
bloody, battle-mad soldiers feel this same way
in battle Killing has been put into the hearts of
these crowds.
If the men up there in the skv think they are
terrifying London they are wrong. They are only
making England white-hot mad.
Miracle is Wrought
The redness of burning building fills the
sky. The dome of historic ST. Pauls Cathedral
looms up against tle redness You PASS the old
church in a side street. At the gateway stands
the old verger, half dressed. 1t has been his
duty for the past half century to guard the church
against thieves and fires as other sections have
guarded it for centuries past. But he's got big
ger job on his hands than any of them ever had
before.
The verger's white-haired wife stands beside
him. They are talking with three girls such as
never came into the lives of church sections ex.
cept on nights like this. They are pointing out to
the aged couple, with cheaply jewe.ed fingers.

We are all brothers and sisters in the streets

Newspaper Charity.

entitled objects of Charity"
These two are all that he has to
offer for sale to the public, and no
ono has ever yet given any sort of
satisfactory reason why be should
be asked by anybody to donate
them.
"One thing newspaper people
will never be able to understand is
Why any person will walk into a
newspaper Office and make himself
or herself an object of charity ana
insist upon what they would dis
dain to ask for in any other shop
or place of business in the town.
The principle is the same in the
newspaper office az in the dry
goods store, the grocery, the drug
store, and what a great many poo
pie need is to come to recognize it
as tho same and get off the nsws-
paper charity list. Il.

figures need considerable revising,

typical of Romish bluff and buster.
In the better sections of the city the
percentage of Catholics is small,
while in other portions they have a
majority, but altogether their per-
centage is not greater than so per

centage of Catholics is rapidly in

with him. AS a matter of fact, peo-

idly and are getting away from super

sTRAIeHTNEss IN EVERY ~
Advised by. Rev. RieI<etts in Address
 at Shop Talk.
WALK OF LIFE

In his talk at the shop meeting at the Richmond Radiator company's plant on Wednesday at noon spoke on the topic, Cultivate a Habit of Straightness. Vocal selections were rendered by Mrs. Louise O. Potter, who was accompanied by Miss Letitia Kramer. Rev. MT. Ricketts referred to the recent address which President Hadley gave at Slater Hall as the greatest speech Norwich has had in this generation.
 set forth the benefits a young man de- rives from military training, said Rev. Mir. Ricketts, not only as bod fly help but along mental and moral lines as we'll One of his expressions keeps ringing in my ears, Tt makes young fellow straight" and hence my topic. l began to picture in my mind the typical young man as I had seen him both in the militia and the army; what saw was the correct bodily carriage.
 There is something about a soldier that makes one look at him twice. He stands straight and he walks straight his step is quick. firm. steady. manly. His whole attitude is strength plus beauty.
 When we see a man. particularly a young man, shamble gaited, weak kneed, hollow chested, we at once put hi mdown aE a physical defective and moral degenerate.
 We want boys and men straight in all the functions of life-y As the early years of boys life are spent mostly in school, there is loud call to culti- vate the habit of straightness during this period. The boys ought to be straight with their teachers, with their studies. with their companions. with the opposite sex, and unless they are they canont be straight with them selves. The normal boy hates to see yellow streak" in another boy. Un- less straight habits are cultivated during these years they probably new CT will be.
 Amusement is a legitimate part of fife and hence we need boys and men who will play the game straight. At a great football game once 10000 men and women leaped to their feet as one person, grooming, hissing, yelling and shaking their fists in angry protest What for? They had seen a nOtori- ously dirty tackle. Deep in our sport ing consciences there is an insistent desire that the game shall be played straight.
 These words apply to you and your work. Life in the work shops should be straight. Be straight with the other fellow who may not be so quick, so skillful. so strong as you. Give the company a square deal and DSlAONO Iiidl hilt NOAipdhy WdHlS IO give you the same. Cut out the sa- loon any everything else that tend to introduce crookedness into your lives thereby tessening your capacity as workmen. Act straight. think straight be straight.
 Rev. MT. Ricketts closed by making a broad application of his theme. We want business men so straight that their spoken word will be equivalent to their written promise: men in poli- ties so straight that political life shall be lifted out of the slough fde- spond; men in the family so straight in domestic relations as to diminish the alarming frequency of divorce The speaker claimed that this doctrine of straightness was his interpretation of the great roadway that leads to the grand terminal called heaven.
