TOWN AND COUNTY AUTOS.

Robert C. Wells, of Bluestone, was
here Tuesday, to attend the Republi-
can county meeting. This is the first
time Mr.. Wells has been to town
since he was run down by an auto
mobile near his home some time ago,
in which his buggy was smashed, and
Mr.. Wells laid up for repairs for a
week or more. The car, so Mr.. Wells
said, belonged to Mr.. Walker at Gra-
ham. After the accident the auto
driver made no halt whatever or ef-
fort to ascertain the amount of the
damage done, neither since has he
done SO, nor made any offer to pay
damages or doctors bills. Mr.. Wells
said the auto man sounded his horn
only when right at his buggy, not Civ
ing time to turn out the road. And,
in this connection this scribbler wish
est otutter two protests. One is
against town man driving over a
country man, and a country man driv-
ing over town man. The other day
a country auto came near running
over the editor Of this paper. The
auto horn footed just in time, and
the editor was scared almost "out OF
his boots," as much by the horn as
( by the car. This careless driving
must be stopped, both in town and the
country.

ST. MARKS CHURCH.

A lantern lecture on "The Great Salt Lake Region and the Church's s Work Among the Mormons' will be given in the chapel of St. Marks s church this evening at S:15. The lecturer, Rev. s. R. Colladay, of West Hartford, has recently returned from several years work in Salt Lake City The late bishop of Utah, Rt. Rev. F. S. Spalding, was a prominent social ist,s and the present bishop, Rt. Rev. Paul Jones, spoke in favor of social ism at the recent general convention. The lecture, however, has to do with the country itself, the Mormon people, and "Gentile" Christian work there. The public is invited. Preceding the lecture, at ' o'clock, the Sunday school teachers will meet for a SUD- per and conference.

naughty looking sharp featured negresses who wore evening gowns in many hues a bright red seeming to be a favorite. This child of the United States was a strange one indeed.
 Our Island Soldiers.
 The strains of martial music were heard from the barracks near the parade ground and an energetic and thoroughly efficient military band paraded around the corner into the field. The Stars and Stripes headed l three companies of infantry immacu- late in white brooches and blue coats as they swung into the field. The soldiers were precision itself. It is safe to say that there are no com panies of United States soldiers better versed in military etiquette than are those at San Juan, Porto Rico. Under the flag they drill and sleep and to the flag their lives are consecrated yet not one out of one hundred of the rank and file speak English.
 Under sky so blue that it seemed of the same material of their coats they went through their formations. Hundreds of feet below. the parade ground is high upon the cliff, the waves of a southern sea broke over coral reefs in dazzling whiteness and reformed to surge against the rocks at the base Tn the background an- cient Morro Castle with its spires, it's meats and it's lonesome sentry boxes, projecting far out over the ocean below looked somnolently on. Pink and green and scared 1t was old and grim and tattered. It originally be- longed to a people older than It's pres ent owners. Every shell marked wall was a reminder of that. But the flag of red and blue and white. to match the sky the breakers and the hidden blood of it's defenders f1oated above it all.
 Inspection was soon over and guard mount practically finished. The sun was a ball of red fire sinking into the horizon as the evening gun boomed its signal. Every military figure upon the scene froze at attention and thos" off duty turned toward the flag on the heights. The bugler sounded its call. Instantly the civilians to a man also stood rigid and erect. Tattered straw hats, sheltering ragged peons were removed. The school children of the town stood with their headcoverings in their hands. The women ceased their chatter and stood silent with the rest. Even the naked children seemed to catch the general spirit and sat silently in the dust at the road.
 Slowly the flag disappeared behind the battlerents and the tableau was finished It is needless to attempt to describe the feeling of the citizens of the United States who witnessed this sight. It is beyond words.

moral training adapted to every creed, without which no woman could hope to reform. Such a home would be To- cated in a rural district, and the girls 1 would be expected to raise garden pro- duce and learn to can and preserve 1 fruits and vegeta bles.
 These are. some of the provisions of the bill to establish a state farm for women, such as all our neighbor states already have. An institution of tilis sort would prove powerful deter rent to many girls who realize the present situation very keenly, and ask you very independently what you think you are going to do about their con- duct so long as they are over sixteen or over twenty-one. It would also pro- vide adequately for the girls who must pass through our courts and would send them out into the world later with a fair chance for decent living
 33S Requests in January.
 During the month of January, 1917 there have been 33S requests made of us for services of all kinds-twenty from public officials, nineteen from private societies, two from churches, twenty-nine from interested people, five from other cities and thirteen from schools, the remainder being from applicants themselves. We came in close contact With eighty-four fam lilies, twenty-seven of whom were new to us during the month. Eighty-four visits were made and there were 392 calls at the office, in addition to the 317 more children who came on and after New Years Day to see our most popular Xmas tree. Altogether over TOO children called during the holi- days. 412 telephone interviews were conducted in behalf of our families. and we were aided by sixteen and one-half hours of volunteer office work and fourteen calls made by friendly visitors.
 Of the twenty-seven new cases not one was due to unemployment al- though four families needed a larger income to get on independently when extra expense came up. Tn four ir stances the need was mainly due to va grancy in four more to WidowhoOd, in three to physical or mental handicap, in two to illness, in three to lntempcr- ance in two to immortality, in one 10 and the remainder due to miscellaneous reasons. In every lh- stance the trouble was due to reasons
  prosperous times. Anyone who can work finds plenty to do these days. Temporary work was secured for nine people through our employment hu- rcau, amounting, to days and weeks of time. Temporary aid was given to fourteen and emergency aid to eight cen in addition to medical and optical care. Clothing was provided for thirty. Aside from general service, in mater ial relief $141.31 was expended from the treasurer's fund, $72.45 from the special funds $51.13 was organized from societies and individuals, S33 was expended from the school children'S $ shoe fund making total Of S29So3 expended through charity organiza ton channels for relief during the month.
