not God make them so that they could
not sin? (F. R)
Answer. Because He did not choose
to do 50. He left it for MAN to make
MACHINES. God exercised His ere
alive power ca a higher aud nobler
plane. because Tie desires the love and
worship of creatures who intelligentIy

man a free moral agent and permit

which He is working out to His own
pleasure. and the out Workings Of which

Owe read in the Bible that as Lot
and his wife were fleeing from Sodorn,
his wife looked back at the city and
was instantly turned into a pillar of
salt, can that be literally true?
Answer. We see no reason for think
ing otherwise than that the statement
with reference to Lots wife is a lit
eral one We can conceive of no rea-
son why the record should be other
wise than literal tThe Great Master,
Himself. referred to the incident and
made no criticism of the narrative
duke 1922, Why. then. should we
criticize it, The Scriptures snow that
the angels OF the Lord bad warned Lot
to take his wife and daughters and
flee ont of the city OF Sodom, and they
started in their fight. but. instead of
keeping steadily on after once1 start
ing. Lots wife turned 10 look bIck
evidently desiring the things left be
hind and She was turned into pillar
of salt The Apostle shows us that
these lessons are examples for the ben
eft of others In other words. they are
types and shadows of greater things.
Space does not here permit us to dis
cuss the type and anti-type.

THE "JITNEY" MYSTERY

The elusive "jitney bus" idea seems to have been traced to its lair Ever since this convenient transportation device has swept the country cur ousmnded folk have been trying to discover the mean ng and origin of the phrase has dawned on the slow ly comprehending East that "jitney" is a slang word for nickel supposed have been in vogue somewhere 'r other before it universal recognition by being 'ouped with the ultra-modem auo-bus But where tne term came from has remained a mystery
 Now comes retired cavalry officer with the mag 1ifcent of George Washington Lee and in a let. ter to the New York Sun calls attention to this little jingle, which has long been common he says among the Frenchspeaking negroes Of Louisiana:
 Mettons jetnee dang Ii trou
 Et parcourons sur Ia rue.
 Mettons ietnee-si non yous
 Promenez pied nut
 For tbe benefit Of those wh ocant figure out the dialect French it might be translated as follows:
 Put nickel in the slot
 For a ride along the street
 Put nickel in-if not, March along in your bare feet
 "Jetnee" pronounced "ietuay," is then the origina form of the word -jitney" and the only new thing there about the titney bus the of eecricit, instead of mule power It's as distinctly southern al sweet potatoes, molasses and mint juleps.

CHAMP ACNE MAY BE
 USED ON BATTLESHIP
Arizona May Yet Make Debut to Champagne Accompaniment
 Up to Secretary Daniels

PHOENIX, April 19- Champagne instead of water may be used at christening of the new batleship Ari zona at the New York navy yard June l9.
 Governor Hunt admitted today that while water has been mentioned as the most appropriate for a dry state like Arizona, the question of whether champagne or water shall be used rests with Secretary of the Navy Dan iels.
 The governor further said that he would entertain any suggestions ana also that the committee Of fifty which he is naming to represent the state of Arizona at the launching of the huge vessel may also have a voice in the matter
 The legislature will be asked to ap propriate funds for a silver service tc be presented the new ship. Such service varies n price from S70OO tc S3OO0O. Fifteen thousand dollars has been suggested as an appropriate sum A popular subscription and city anC county appropriations will also Dc asked for.
 Probably in addition to the commit tee of fifty there will be quite a larg' representation of state officials at tn' lchristening Governor Hunt eNpecu i to go having advised the secretar! of the navy to that effect today AI torney General Wiley Jones plans t'

THE BRITISH PROHIBITION PLAN

It was not to be expected that absolute prohbitio of the liquor traffic would be undertaken by the Brts government, no matter how great the crisis The quo interests have always been powerful it ncoi ceivabe that the "beerage" he titled distillers brewers are often called their profit and their grip British business and politics merel to force sobrety and efficiency the British workman and increase the output Of war supplies. Britain ben a virtual democracy could not be sobered at governmental decree The great liquor interests couc neither be abolished antagonized for they iu extricaby bound up with the great commercial ban- ing and landholding system that is depended to nance the war. and they have derived much suppor from the English clergy.

 There Is to be compensation for Che losses of th' liquor manufacturers and dstributors-to what eXton is uncertan The surest guess is that both the gov eument and the liquor will lose heavily, and th chief benedciaries will be the workingmen who ar SO enraeed now at the criticism of their drinking am the threat of prohibition which win affect them nor than any other class.
