Tens Of thousands Of prayer meet
ings are held every week by young
peoples societies in all parts of the
land. These are tremendous educa'
tional and inspirational force. Poll
ticians and publicists know little
about them. They shape ideals and
characters. They promote social and
Christian solidarity. In them young
people learn how to work and to speak
and to pray. These weekly meetings
Of the young peoples societies are a
real force in the nations life.
Now good meetings do not HAP
pen" They are the effect of causes.
And these causes are not mysterious
and undiscoverable. The laws of a
good prayer meeting are simple and
easily ascertainable. Find out what
makes meetings successful and then
comply with the conditions.
Often people pray and speak at
prayer meetings as if there were mer-
it in having only two or three pres
ent. The new testament prayer meet
Ing that brought down the fire was
a gathering of the whole church. That
meeting on which the present topic is
based was with a large company OF
people assembled A proper step to-
ward better meetings is to make them
larger. The greater the number Of
sticks. the brighter the fire.
A good prayer meeting is one that
does good. 1t makes people better.
Hearts are warmed and mellowed,

enforcing the fire escape laws and the
theater regulations as regards fire.
shows that there are a number OF
cities in Iowa of more than $4,000 in.
habitants which have no city ordin'
ances at all with reference to theater
fire escape regulations. Commissioner
Urick is instructing his inspectors to
visit these cities as soon as possible
and inspect the theaters and require
that state regulations as to exits.

In aisles and similar provisions be
complied with.
Where suitable city ordinances for
the regulation of theaters and other
public meeting places exist these To-
cal ordinances will take precedence
over state regulations but where no
ordinances exist the state will require
it's provisions be followed strictly.
Plans Uniform Rules.
From data now being collected
showing the regulations Of the ordin-
ances regarding theaters and other
pubic buildings in Iowa cities which
have such ordinances the state com.
missioner is trying to work out set
of uniform rules and regulations
which can be put In force in the larg.
err towns and cities throughout the
state.
Many Of the county seat towns
have little regulation locally of their
public meeting places as to fire escape
provisions. The state commissioner
hopes to get his inspectors into these
towns and see to it that proper pre-
cautions are instituted.
Commissioner Urick had confer

fire escape manufa cturers a few days
ago to try and work out some fire
escape suitable to use in hospitals. ;.

escape manufacturers attended and
from the interchange of ideas it is
hoped to work out some sort of an
escape which will be suitable to hos.

IOWA PE0PLEF FAIL
TO RESPECT FLAG
LAW REQUIRES THAT STARS AND
STRIPES FLOAT OVER ALL
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Des Moines, April 13.-Flags should
float from every public building In
Iowa every secular day being put up
in the morning and taken down each
evening. This is the Iowa law and it
has been shamelessly overlooked In
the opinion of Adjt. Gen. Guy M.
Logan.
There has been some dispute as to
whether or not there was law on
the statute books with reference to
raising the flags over public buildings.
A party wrote in to General Logan
from a county seat town saying new
court house had been built there and
no flag staff provided. He wanted to
know what the Iowa law was with
reference to this.
The Law 10 Plain.
General Logan took the matter up
with G. A. Robbins, assistant attorney
general and Attorney Robbins pointed
out the following law:
THAT 1t shall be the duty Of the
custodian of all public buildings Of
the state of Iowa to raise over such
buildings the flag of the United
| States Of America, upon each secular
day when weather conditions are fav-
orable and it shall be the duty of any
board Of public officers charged with
the duty Of providing for the supplies
of any public building to provide in
connection with other supplies for any
such building of the state of Iowa a
suitable flag for the purposes herein
! provided
Attorney Robbins in ruling on this
question says: "In my judgment the
term public building as made use Of
| in this section would include all state
buildings. all county buildings such
as court houses, and all city buildings
such as city hall, public libraries and
tls. ike bat would not include any
bcilding in which the United States
postoffice may be located"
| Not Left Up Over Night.
General Logan requires the raising
of a flag over the state house every
secular day Of the week. This is put
up each morning and taken down each
evening. He says it is a serious lack
of respect to leave the flag up over
night. From now on flag is to be
kept flying over the historical build
ing every secular day.
| Members Of the state board of con.
troll said that at some of the state in
stitution buildings flags were kept fly
ing but not at all of them and that
they would be glad to see that the
rule was enforced at all of the state
institution buildings.
1t was stated by some of the officials
that everywhere in Canada the Eng.
lish flag is displayed and it has always
been so in times of peace as we'll as in
times of war.

ened. LIES real values are seen
more clearly in the light of a devo-
tional service. Eternal goals are &C.
copied as the only worthy ones. Love
and truth and duty shine supreme In
a gathering about the altar of prayer.
Faith is fortified, piety is purified and
hope Is glorified by the fellowship OF
Christians in a service Of worship and
communion.
It is passing strange that SO few
prayer meetings are seriously planned.
AS rule, the leaders preparation is
confined to his own remarks instead
Of to the conduct of the meeting.
Methods for maintaining meetings,
with diversity and interest, are really
common. inexpensive books upon the
subject may be obtained from denomi-
national book stores and from the
United Society of Christian Endeavor,
Boston. A world of experience has
been crowded between covers. Why
not utilize It?
Above all other requisites for a
good prayer meeting is prayer. Clev'
er speeches cannot make good meet
ing. Nor fine music, Nor yet vari-
ETY. of forms Of participation. Before
all and under all and above all there
must be prayer-sincere, continued,
repeated prayer. 1t is possible to
have great prayer meetings without
fine speeches or music, so long as
there is the earnest prayer of devoted
hearts. Every periodical prayer meet
ing would be the better for devoting
an occasional session exclusively to
prayer, prayers spoken and prayers
sung; concert prayers and sentence
prayers; prayers from scripture and
prayers from the ancient Hturg1es Of
the church. with prayer, or not at
all' Is a motto of the laymen's move

ARM IS MANGLED
WHILE SAVING WOOD

Jefferson, April 14.-Samuel Turpin,
a man IS years of age, living in the
northeast part Of Jefferson, sustained
most distressing accident Monday
evening at o'clock. He and others
were saving up some wood and the
power had been shut down. Mr.. Tur-
pin had started to pick up some tools
when a heavy piece Of wood fell
against him, throwing him onto the
saw. His arm was caught and the
elbow was mangled and torn almost
halw way through. He was rushed to
a surgeon and given immediate atten-
ton and it is doubtful If the arm can
be saved though every effort is being
used to do 80.

SENSES OF BLIND
NOT EXTRA KEEN
DEAN SEASHORE SAYS SEEING
PERSONS USE TOUCH AND
HEARING JUST As WELL.

Iowa City, April 13.--It is generally
assumed that the blind are keener in
hearing and touch than seeing per.
sons are. Many marvel at the per-
formances of the blind who walk
about guiding themselves without use
Of the eyes; many wonder at the
blind person reading his raised print
with his finger tips nearly as rapidly
as the normal person reads with his
eyes.
Experiments extending. over sever
al years have convinced DR.. G. e.
Seashore, head Of the department of
psychology at the University of Iowa,
that the common belief Is In error,
that the seeing person has the same
capacity for extraordinary use Of
touch and hearing as the blind, the
only difference being that he does not
find it necessary to exercise that ca
pacity.
Research students in psychology
have made careful tests which prove
that the seeing person can use his
touch and hearing just as delicately
when occasion arises as does the blind
person and that these senses become
no more acute with constant practice
1t even appears that they do not i'm
prove with age.
What Is commonly considered the
superior sensitiveness Of the blind is,
therefore, nothing more than the com.
mon and natural sensitiveness Of man
put to use. The blind have simply
learned to make use of this capacity
while normal people have not
