Department of Interior Makes Sugqes-
tions to Owners.
Washington, Aug. 13.-Owners of
pleasure cars must curtail their use II
the United States and her allies are
to have sufficient gasoline for war pur-
poses.
Fleet, airplane and truck uses will
require 35,OOO,000 gallons yearly, 1t is
estimated This gasoline cannot be OBJ
tained except from existing American
supplies, and the American car owner
will probably soon find himself using
a lower grade OF "gas."
The interior department suggests
that autoists do not run their engines
when their car Is not In use and would
have kerosene instead Of gasoline used
for cleaning.

up over them is not going to be
very welcome news to the states

tains Of industry who have beer

great wealth and power. They
are going to fight this thing to
the very last. While many OF
them are members of the church
and say long prayers and pretend
to be mighty good Christians,
they don't think Christ has got
any right to meddle In their af-
fairs here. They want Him to.
stay up in the skies and be a sort
Of imaginary God that they cah
scare the poor folks with, but
which they are not afraid Of
themselves.
That's why we have come to
have so much Of this "sky" busi-
ness in the religious teachings Of
today. The men of influence,
who have been able to direct the
worlds thinking, have wanted
God kept away from the earth as
much as possible. And so they
have taught the people that God
was .'sky" God and that the
Bible was a ''sky" book, and that
neither Of them had anything to
do with the affairs Of this earth.
At least not for several million
years yet.

Where Are They?

Two or three Of my readers
have objected to "Good News"
as the name Of this paper on the
ground that there were already
too. many papers Of that name IN
the country. But so far nobody
has told me where they are. Hav-
ing been In close touch with the
newspaper business for many
years, it seems that I ought to
know al least as much as the aver
age man about what papers are
being published, and I have to
co1lfess that I do not at present
know Of single paper anywhere

expressed a peculiar misgiving
about the success Of my present

couldn't find enough to say along

The doctrine Of "the restitu-

IN the prophetical books Of the
Bible than any other one subject.
And yet nearly all the popular
creeds are entirely ignorant Of it.
And Of all the thousands of reli-
gious papers published, not enc
that I know of gives this great
subject any prominence. The

In speaking Of the fall Of the
nations now going on, I don't
mean to convey the idea that
every nation will be entirely wip-r
ed out. Many Of them will re-
main here in name, but they will
be weakened and humbled and
made willing to bow to the rule
OF Righteousness. When the other
world-powers - Babylon, Medo-
Persia, Greece and Rome-were
in their glory, they didn't utterly
destroy every other nation, but
they merely issued orders and all
the others had to obey. It will be
the same way in the coming New
Age, only the Ruling Power will
bs tho actual Kingdom Of Christ
On earth.

gradual enough so that we con-
sidered it a very natural process.
If these things had dropped down
from heaven all in one day we
would have called it a miracle.
And it would have been, But it
it no less a miracle as it is. The
hand Of God is in it, and He has
allowed men to make these things
just at this time for wise pur-
pose. They are being gotten
ready to be used through the
glorious Millennial Age for the
comfort and blessing Of the whole
race. And even greater wonders
that we can't even dream Of now

be paradise on earth. Every
thing will be done by machinery,
and ALL THE PEOPLE will get

forded. There will be no more

too much. Good roads will be

MODERN INVENTIONS.

MODERN INVENTIONS.
Did you ever stop to think how
very strange it is that the world
should have gone on for full SIX
thousand years without making
but very little progress in the
lines Of invention and discovery,
and then all at once burst out IN
such a binding glare Of smart
ness as we see around US todayF
With the exception Of printing
and steam, which date a little
farther back, practically every
thing we speak Of as modern In
ventions or discoveries have come
to us inside of the last fifty years
The worlds way of living fifty
years ago was not much different
from what it was five or six thou
sand years ago. During all that
time there was no marked ad-
vance along any line Of invention
or discovery. But just about the
time the six thousand years end
ed and we started on the seventh,
You notice how the pace began
to quicken. Things never dream

ON the heels Of each other until
now we live in d different world.

UNIVERSAL DRILL
HOPE OF NATION,
DECLARES HILL

The organized movement for Con
gressionaI enactment of universal
military training is today making
rapid Roadway, according to Lieut..
Gen. S. B. NJ. Young. retired president
of the National Association for UnI-
versal Military Training.
General Young today gaYo out the
following telegram from David JAYNE
Hill, former ambassador to RIssia, in
which the latter emphatically indorses
universal training:
81 desire to assure you of nv
hearty support of the amendment YOU
have proposed to the draft law. The
main hope OF averting a great ma
tionaI calamity lies in the adoption OF
universal military training and prep
aration for service, Ii required.
Rightly administered, II will do much
also to improve the physical health,
the character and the standard OF
citizenship Of our young men, Com.
bined with an understanding Of our
institutions and the principle upon
which they are founded. such train.
ing will not lead to militarism in the
Prussian sense, but to a true concep-
ton of organized liberty, which can
exist only where there is a will to de.
fend it"
The proposed amendment requires
the regiGtration OF all men between
nineteen and thirty-one years of age
not registered under the present draft
law, with the proviso that none shall
be called for active service before
reaching twenty-one years OF age.

DESCRIBES
CITIES AS CANCERS
ON BODY POL|TIC

Cc--paring the "city" to a cancer
which eats up the strength that
ought to go to the whole body. the
Rev. DR.. Charles Wood, in a strong
sermon yesterday, at the Church OF
the Covenant, Connecticut avenue
and N street northwest, declared that
the overstimulation of desires. the
abnormal excitation OF appetltes, the
extravagant expenditure OF money,
the exhaustion of nervous energy,
and the disintegratlon Of character
are a direct result of the artificial
conditions OF city life.
1.-THE city itself is an excess" said
DIR. Wood. at is an eXcresence Of
the body polite. It is like q cancer
that monopolizes the strength that
ought to go to the whole system, and
is absorbed in a single cell The ex-
cesses of a city may be divided into
Ave general classes.
Desires OverstImuIated.
First, the overstimulation OF de-
sires. Multitudes who have been
fairly well contented come to the
city, see the splendid palaces called
homes, and imagine everybody living
in them is a favorite Of fortune-be-
loved of the gods. They come ana
see, and too often are conquered
Failing to get these things for them
selves, they consider life itself not
worth living.
Second is the abnormal excitation
of the appetites. In the country they
eat because they are hungry and
drink because they are thirsty. In
the city the people who eat the most
are often those who have done the
least work and have the least reason
for eating. A hungry man stands
before a high-priced restaurant at
midnight He has not eaten anything
since noon, and these crowds around
the tables have probably eaten three
or four meals since luncheon, and are
only eating now because 1t is con-
sidered the proper thing to do. All
of the appetites are exposed to the
same abnormal stimulus and excite
ment.
ExtraVagant Spending.
Third is the extravagant expendi-
ture OF money. All think that they
must keep the pace. They see and
practice extravaganza in all its FORMS
and very easily come to think OF II as
essential.
Fourth is the exhaustion of nerve
energy. Nervous prostration cannot
be localized in any organ OF the body.
The center OF It is in the city. A
blacksmith in the country some time
ago was said to have suffered from
nervous prostration, but later on Il
was proven to be alcoholism.
Fifth is the dlsintegration of
character" concluded DR.. Wood.
THE unconscious process may pro-
coed with more or less rapidity, but
Is inevitable for all who are not con-
scious OF their danger, and who do
not determinedly fight against it."
