Saloonkeepers are anxlously wait
ing for the committee on liquor
regulation To decide whether license
sales will be confirmed AS in the
past, or whether under proper in
terpretation of the Warner-Cramton
law they. will be regarded as volun-
tary surrenders.
Corporation Counsel Dingeman
has said that If the committee asks
his opinion. he will point out the
law. which is quite plain on the sub
ject OF sales. Aid. sherman Little
field, chairman OF the committee, de-
clares that he does not think the
committee will require any legal
opinions from the corporation coun-
sci concerning the confirmation OF
license applications.
Last year the committee confirm
ed about 200 sales. In every In.
stance double application was
filed, and the committee went
through the formality OF denying the
application OF the seller and granting
a new license To the buyer.
So far only 30 double applications
have been filed for 1916 licenses. In
all 6s7 applications have been filed
for saloon licenses. April 10 is the
last day for fling. and many will

Spiritual Conservation.
When a bit of business was to be
done efficiently in the Apostolic
church, they did not seek out the
men who had the highest rating in
the Jerusalem Bradstreet, or who
ran the biggest businesses in the
city. The modern notion that only
commercial efficiency is needed on
the board OF trustees had not arisen

the somewhat temporal work of the
deacons, the apostles said, Look ye

The international Sunday School
Lesson for Feb. 27, is The Seven
Helpers Acts ch. 8.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

When Men and Religion experts
flew about the land with their slo'
gan of efficiency" they we're hailed
as new force and az bearers OF a
new message. As a matter Of fact,
they really only illustrated the truth
that Christians have to get back TO
the New Testament 10 be up to
date" for better program jof etii-
cheney than theirs was laid down
for itself by the early Church in
Jerusalem. as succinctly told in the
seven verses from the Sixth Chapter
of The Acts which constitute this
Sunday School lesson.
Now in these days, when the
number Of disciples was multiplying,
there arose murmuring of the
Grecian Jews against the Hebrews,
because their widows were neglect
ed in the daily ministration. And
the twelve called the multitude of
the disciples unto them. and said,
Il is not fit that we should forsake
the word OF God, and serve tables.
Look ye out therefore, brethren.
from among you seven men of good
report, full OF the Spirit and of wis
dom. whom we may appoint over
this business. But We will continue
stead5astly in prayer, and in the
ministry OF the word. And the say
ing pleased the whole multitude:
and they chose Stephen, a man full
OF faith, and OF the Holy Spirit, and
Philip, and Prochoris, and Nicanor
and Timon. and Parmenas, and Mic
CLAUS a proselyte of Antioch whom
they set before the apostles; and
when they had prayed, they laid
their hands upon them.
"And the word of God increased;
and the number OF the disciples mul-
tiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly;
and great company OF the priests
were obedient TO the faith"
Unrest and Life.
Some timorous souls are disturbed
by the discomfort evident in the
Apostolic church. Wherever there
is life there Is movement and un-
rest. All progress is series of ad-
justments. The one place Of perfect
placidity is the graveyard, and oft.
en- the cltys advance causes that
to be dug mp and built over. a bis
hint is hidden. not very deeply, in
this New Testament episode, to the
effect that the form and usage of
the Christian church Is not n fixed
and rigid thing. to whicn all gen
erations should conform. but /an
adaptation to the changing needs
and conditions of every century. !

The message and mission OF the
Church are eternally unchanged
hut her methods may vary from

Some one has said that the two
angels OF progress are the angel OF
birth and the angel of death; both
bring changes. In this instance II
was growth that caused the Church

growth. as DR. Torrey points out.

More than that The nnc spirit
OF the church appears in the fact
that all the seven deacons elected
had Grecian names. This was ''in

generous implication was: We shall
make sure that our sisters from

men who know them; and we have
all confidence that the welfare of
our Jewish Christians may be com

Connie Doyle Wins the
Middle Atlantic Title

In one Of the best matches of the local
tennis year, Conrad B. Doyle yesterday

beat Henry C. Breck In the final round
of the Middle Atlantic tournament, 80
- %, e3
Breck. who recently came to Wash
ington from California. has made quite
a reputation for himself here, and as he
has beaten Doyle a number of times in
private matches, many looked for him
to beat him yesterday. AS a matter Of
fact, Doyle is a great one for trying out
strokes in these private matches, and
when there Is nothing at stake Is apt to
loaf on the job" and this 10 probably
what he has done on Breck
This match was originally scheduled
for last Saturday, and was started at
that time, but was called on account OF
rain in the first set, with Doyle leading
So and $50 and play started at these
figures yesterday. Doyle quickly ended
the set by taking the necessary game
and additional points
In this match Doyle did something that
few other players could do, and that Is
he played Breck's swift high-bounding
service close to the service line. which
enabled him to get the ball on the hop
before IL got in Its effective twist. This
reduced the effectiveness of the serve
fully 50 per cent, and at the same time
enabled Doyle to get to the net quicker.
Doyle won the first two games Of the
second set. taking the second after Breck
had run the count TO 10 love. The lat
tor took the third game. which was an
other deuce one, and then lost the next.
The set finally went to Doyle, 60
In the third set, Doyle did not look
particularly good, as Breck made a num-
Der OF pretty passes and pulled him out
of position frequently. Connie had
considerable hard luck, however, as he
lost any number OF points by a small
