LEANS FROM CAR; SAVES GIRL
Motorman Effects Heroic Rescue Of
Child Walkinu Between Tracks.

Motorman Effects Heroic Rescue of
Child Walking Between Tracks.
New York.-The presence of mind
and courage of James Lavelle, mo-
torman on one of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Bath Beach trains, saved the
life Of an unidentified little girl, four
years old, who mistook the space be-
tween the rails of the West End line
for promenade and left the sidewalk
to walk there.
Lavelle was taking his train from
Coney Island, loaded with women and
children, when near Forty-first street,
on New Utrecht avenue, he saw the
child about forty feet ahead. The
trains at this spot run on the surface
Of the street. Lavelle blew his whis-
tie, but the child apparently did not
hear. He damned on the emergency
brakes and then, realizing that he
could not stop in time ran to the front
platform and, reaching forward
caught hold of the little girl. He drop
ped her to one side. She escaped with
only a few slight bruises.

BUYING SHEEP IN KANSAS.
Farmers See Food For Million In Fields
of Flattened Grain,

Topeka can't keep Kansas
down. Most states would have raised
the white flag over the heavy grain loss
from rain and floods. but Kansas has
the old ensign flying over the fort
Grain that lies on the ground, that
the hail and the winds and rain have
knocked fiat, is to be converted into
mutton. From every county farmers
are sending orders for sheep, and with
in thirty days there will be more than
million sheep feeding throughout the
state.
Along every valley in the state un-
precedented rains sent the water out
across the fields when the grain should
have been ripening. More than a mil
lion and Il half acres of wheat and
oats were ruined. With sheep getting
fat on this grain, the elimination of
harvesting, thrashing and marketing,
the farmers are looking upon life
little more cheerfully these days.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF Pa
TRIOTIC FRATERNITIES, AT
PITTSBURGH
PITTSBURGH,

Dear Sir: At the National Con-
vention of the Federation of Patriotic
Fraternities, held in Dayton last
year, l was elected as assistant to
Brother Bibb, our National Secretary.
I have done all in my power to
arouse an interest in the conven-
tipn scheduled for Pittsburgh in
May, but the powers in control here
are not favorable to my appeal.
One man who has attained some
notoriety outside of Pittsburgh has
gone so far as to state that the
National Federation does not exist
as bona tide national organization
and has thereby kept many from
giving us support in our efforts.
The Federation of Allegheny
County has gone on record as being
unfavorable to taking an active part
in arranging for the Pittsburgh
meeting. The greatest objection
seems to be that such a convention
at this time will tend to inject re-
ligious issues into politics at the
May primaries.
They would have us hold off and
boost their issues in their way in
September, when they plan to have
another great parade.
Brother O'COnnor and l have gone
over the situation very thoroughly.
We have made inquiry and find that
terms can be made with the Fort
Pitt Hotel, located within two
squares of the Union Station, and at
reasonable rates. AS yet no one has
Dome forward who is able to accom-
plish anything in the way of con-
cessions.
We have concluded that the best
way is for the national executive to
take the matter in hand, arrange for
privileges by correspondence and ad-
vertise in the various patriotic
papers.
We have written Brothers Bibb
and Reynolds before as to the situa-
ton, but think it time now to make
a more extended appeal to the work
ers at large. We hoped to see an
enthusiastic meeting in Pittsburgh
this year, but unless outside influ-

involved will reach the undersigned

ALL SCHOLARS AGREE THAT THE
GREEK WORD FOR "BAPTIZE"
MEANS "ININ1ERSE;" ''SPRIN-
KLING' is ANOTHER WORD.

Dear Sir: 1 have been reading
your paper for three years and have
never asked a question yet, and l
thought l would write and ask one.
Did the word "Baptize" and the
word Sprinkle come from the
same Greek word? A Methodist
brother and myself were talking
about baptism one day and he said
"Baptize" and Sprinkle" came from
the same word, Now, if they did or
did not, would like for you to say,
for sure would like to know.
