A NEW CHURCH.

Time was when the various
sects pointed with pride to the Y.
NJ. c. A. This great organization
was looked upon by the denomina-
tons as a powerful auxiliary in
their religious work. Catholics
were warned from time to time
against the proselytizing nature of
this organization. For this reason
Catholics were considered narrow,
bigoted, and ungenerous. w
were criticized by Protestants for
our self-centered attitude, and
were told that the Y. NJ. c. A.
opened its doors impartially to all
who would benefit by it's undeni-
able advantages.
Now it seems that the sects are
themselves beginning to look upon
the "Y" as a dangerous foe oper-
ating in the field which hitherto
they had considered exclusively
their own. Recently on the Mexi-
can border some Of the Protestant
chaplains complained bitterly that
the 7. NJ. c. A. was usurping
rights and privileges which the
Chaplains considered belonged of
right to themselves. One Of the
Chaplains went SO far as to en-
deavor to enlist the support OF the
recent Episcopalian Convention to
promote a movement for supplant-
ing the Association in the army
and navy by Chaplains and or
gained church work. We learn,
moreover, that for several years a
controversy has been Waged be-
tween the church authorities and
the laymen's association. A year
ago the denominations united in
action that succeeded in almost
doubling the number of army and
navy chaplains by provision of
Congress. Churches were nlOr in
favor Of mcreasingthe number of
chaplains than of promoting the
extension of Y. NJ. G. A. activities.
1t begins to look as if the Y. III. G.
A, may some day go forth as a
full-fiedged church in its own
right. While its members are
drawn from various churches it
claims, apparently, subsection to
none. The Y. M. G.. A. will prob
ably cut adrift from utilization to
any particular church, and will
become a distinct and independ-
ent religious body.

Next year will mark the four
hundredth anniversary of the day
when Martin Luther nailed his
ninety-five theses on the door Of
the little church at Wittenburg,
and detied the Pope Of Rome and
the Catholic Church.
To commemorate that event, so
pregnant with worldwide posi-
bilities that have developed in the
past four centuries, the Lutheran
churches throughout the world
are arraying themselves in gala
attire. The annals of the race dis
close the fact that great world
movements have had humble but
significant beginnings. Some lit
tie IIampden of the fields has
arisen and has struck the spark
that ignited nations. The great
good and the great evil usually
have begun to appear III an OBJ
scure way. Who would dream
that the little colony in Alba
Tonga would one day increase to
the mammoth proportions of the
Roman Empire. Who would have
supposed that the musings or the
reverie of a Confucius, a Buddha,
or a Mohammed would one day
bind together millions of men and
OF women ready to lay down their
lives for the truth preached by
those old leaders. Both Christian
Iity and paganism, not to mention
theagreat heresies, have had hum
bic beginnings.
1t is said that Luther act

INTENTION FOR

His Holiness Pope Benedict XIV
has made use of the prayers of the
League of the Sacred Heart as a
combined petition to heaven for
various objects concerning the
welfare Of the Church. For the
month of November the intention
is, "The Souls in Purgatory.''
While the month of November is
peculiarly a period when prayer is
offered for the Holy Souls, the in
tention this year takes on a new
significance, for never before in
the history of the world has such
unmitigated slaughter of human
life been witnessed as during the

OUGHT TO BE ABsTAlNERs.

Certainly all doctors should be
teetotallers, for alcohol in any dose,
however small, is a narcotic poison,
and the nation would greatly benefit
by increased efficiency of medical
service if .all doctors were total alb
s%tainers, just as the public would en-
joy a notable freedom from accidents
if taxi-drivers and motorists Of all
sorts and conditions were also tee
totallers. AS regards the custom
which still fingers, oddly enough, of
using alcohol as a drug, there is no
question that no doctor should use
the products of the liquor trade, or
speak of them, as though they were
"tonics," for they are not. Jnnumer-
able victims have not ~unjustly attri-
buted their fatal misfortune to advice
given by a doctor in his haste.
If alcohol is to be used as a drug,
it ought to be employed like other
narcotic drugs, namely, in measured
quantities, in combination, and in a
prescription Of limited period. But
no doctor can or should be restricted

If he assumes the grave RESPONSE
bility of advising any one to take a
drug, he must certainly have the
whole pharmacopaeia from which to
choose. No one who has closely in.
yestigated the action of alcohol in re.
cent years prescribes alcohol. 1t. is
rapidly disappearing from both hos
pital and private practise. This great
improvement and progressive advance
in medical work is the outcome of
our better recognition, not only of its
invariably adverse effects, but also of
the unreasonableness Of using a very
bad drug when there are so manv in.
finitely better ones to hand. When
to this scientific position we add the
immense losses caused to the nation
by this drug, every one will feel no.

Cardinal Farley, Of New York,
has well remarked: 1.-The public
mind undergoes a sort of uncon-

ing details of evil living served up
to it i'll the public prints. It is
very doubtful if this description
of crime in suggestive detail has
any social value. Fully as many,
perhaps. are attracted by such
descriptions as repealed. Certainly
there is nothing uplifting in the
process"

THINK DRIVERS CARELESS
+ AT GRADE CROSSINGS
Illinois Central officials Make Public
Reports of Accidents
to Motorists.

That motor car drivers are careless
at grade crossings is the claim of Of
fcials of the Illinois Central railroad.
With view Of reducing the number
Of motor car accidents at such cross
ings they have been conducting a
secret check of the actions of all driv-
ers of vehicles in approaching the
crossing of that corporation. Watch
men. hidden from view. have been sta
toned for twelve hours at time with
instructions to keep an accurate record
Of all vehicles crossing the tracks.
The reports are now being made
public and indicate that a large pro-
portion of drivers ignore safety pre-
cautions. The report from the Grant
highway near Freeport In Stephenson
county Is criterion Of the others.
In the twelve hours in which the rec
ord was kept. IL is alleged, ninety
four cars containing 236 persons ap-
preached the crossing at full speed,
the driver not making any effort to
detect the approach OF a train. Twen-
ty-three cars containing siNty-two per-
sons went over the crossing, in which
the driver looked one way only. Forty
nine cars with 127 persons went over
the crossing, in which the driver look
ed both ways when more than twenty
with nineteen persons went over the
crossing, the driver not looking both
ways until he was within twenty feet
of the crossing and impossible to
stop The proportion of teams, motor
cycles and bicycles which went over
the crossing indicated about the same
proportion of carelessness. To re-
capitulate. the drivers of 122 cars made
little or no effort toward protecting
their own lives or those occupying the
car with them. The drivers of one
fourth of the cars going over the
crossing made the proper effort to see
IL IL was safe to pass.
The railroad management is desirous
of securing the cooperation of the
public in increasing the element of
safety and reducing the number of
fatalities The check of the various
crossings taken indicated that two
thirds Of the drivers go over the
crossings at speed OF thirty miles
Per hour. while the proportion of those
who crossed at speed of three to
hve miles per hour and with their
car under control ready for an instant
stop was distressingly small

BRIDGE OVER ToMMYcoCAN.
Washington Business Men Contrib,
uted for Maryland Structure.

Through the generosity of Washington
business men and residents of lower
Maryland. bridge has been constructed
across Tommycocan creek, near Oakley,
Md. The water at this point, flowing
in from st. Clements bay, increases
with the rise of the tide twice day,
the result being that automobiles have
been frequently mired, necessitating
the use of team of horses to pull
them out
Appeals were made by residents of
the section in question to the county
commissioners to construct bridge,
but 1t was denied, whereupon an ap
peal was made for funds. AS soon as
sufficient money was subscribed the
work of construction was commenced,
with the result that motorists will no
longer be troubled at the point in
question.
Motorists from Washington, headed
for River Springs ;-or Coltons, turning
to the left at MorganZa and passing
Dynard, instead of keeping straight
ahead, should turn to the left and go
to Oakley and then cross the bridge
at this place. Here will be found bet

TIRES MUST BE WATCHED
TO KEEP UP MILEAGE
Underinhation Apt to Result in
Blowout and Entail Cost
for Renewal.

The proper care of tires is a most
important item in a cars upkeep. The
driver should examine them carefully
after every trip and promptly take care
of an injury, no matter how slight.
A trouble, small at first, may lead up
quickly to bad blowout, and then a
new tire. In order to give you good
mileage, tires should be watched con-
stantly and kept clean.
Underinfia6on is the most prevalent
and the most expensive piece of care
lessness of the modern motorist. Ride
on air. not on the tire walls.
An injury to either tread or tube
should not be neglected. Conditions are
aggravated with great rapidity, and
before you know it either very ex-
pensive repair or a whole new tire is
required. Go over your tires peri
odically. and take care at once of each
injury.
Inner liners should be used only in
emergencies or to prolong the life of
wornout tire. Never apply them as a
permanent repair, as they are utterly
destructive to a new tire.
Where chains are used adjust them
carefully. If they are too loose they
Will cut and loosen the tread-if too
tight they cut and bruise where they
are Tapped over casing.
Faulty wheel alignment does much
injury to tires. 1t subjects them to a
grinding they cannot Withstand. A
slightly bent axle will do the damage.
1t is important to cleanse tires daily
If possible. Scrape off mud and soil
and wash the tires with water and a
little soap of good quality, applied with
not too wet sponge. Keep the inside
of the castings always well busted with
soapstone or tale.

Even If the alcohol be figured at
before -the-war prices, the use of such
a mixture is an economy. One pint of
cents and alcohol, IT'S cents.
There remained, however, a serious
drawback in connection with this mix
ture, and that was the difficulty in
starting the automobile. This was
overcome by installing on each car
small supplementary reservoir contain
ing gasoline, benzine or ether. which
is drawn upon when starting the car.
and the alcohol benzol fuel then sub
