GYPSY SMITH, JR., TAKESPRIDE
IN HIS NOMADIC ANCESTORS
GYPSY SMITH ON
GYPSIES.

Nobody knows where Gypsies come
from. 1t is an unfathomable mys-
terry unless they constitute one of the
lost tribes Of Israel
We are not concerned with where
we came from but. where we are
going.
There is no race under the sun that
has been so maligned as the Gypsy
race. yet. authorities say Gypsies
are morally without a peer in the
world
Gypsies are very profane and in
temperate. but they do not commit
grave crimes.
They are called great thieves" 1
cal Them good finders" They never
buy anything they can find.
Occasionally they find an old piece
Of rope-with a horse on the end Of
il.
Their worst fault is fortune telling.
When you cross a Gypsy woman's
palm with silver to tell you- fortune
you are paying an ignorant woman
to lie.
They neither read nor write, but
they are highly intelligent.
They do not break into or reor-
ganize banks; they do not rob
widows and orphans. and they do not
put their hands into other peoples
pockets to warm them.

LEWIS PHONE BILL +
URGED AT MEETING
President of RandIe Highlands
Citizens Body Speaks for
Measure.

The Lewis bill providing for Gov
eminent ownership of telephones wal
discussed at the netting of the Randls
Highlands Citizens Association last
night. Many facts were presented to
show the need OF reduced rates in the
District, that the telephone may be
more universally used. S. E. Snyder,
president: said 1T cost more to have q
telephone in the house than 1t did to
make the same number Of calls from
a pay station.
Furthermore. he. said that because
of the prohibitive price, there were
comparatively few telephones, and
that one in a given community be-
came a nuisance to the subscriber, II
being used by the entire community.
whereas IL rates were cheaper more
people would have them.
r. Richard, DR.. B. T. Woodward,
and c. A. Barker also spoke.
Ask Change In Lights.
At the suggestion of DR.. Woodward
the railroad company will be asked
to put a red rear light on its car
which operates over the bridge. At
present a white light is kept con-
tinuously burning on both ends of
the car, and it is difficult at times
to tell which way IL IL going.
The proposal of the Mt. Pleasant
Association to give the Commission
ers authority to regulate the charac-
ter OF structures to be erected in q
residential section, was discussed.

Their along. the road. But you will
never find a Gypsy with his hands IN
other peoples pockets to warm them.
Fortune Telling Worst Fault.
THE worst fault among GYPSY
girls and women is fortune telling.
They do not know the first thing in
the world about their own fortune or
what the next day holds for them.
much less the entire future of other
people.
Gypsy girls make and sell wicker
baskets and ornaments and trinkets
The profit on these is not great. They
can make infinitely more by telling
fortunes, and whenever a gypsy WON
an or girl can make money by telling
a fortune she will do so.
when you cross a gypsy woman's
palm with silver to tell your fortune
you are paying an ignorant woman To
lie-a woman who hasn't your educa-
ton, and a woman who never had
your chance for enlightenment. Then
again, who Is to say that the gypsy
woman doesn't chuckle and chortle
as she pockets the money and laughs
outright at her hoax when she gets
out of the palm crosser's sight"
Was Taught by Booth.
The evangeIist's father. Gypsy
Smith. who electrified Washington
ians eight years ago with his stirring
sermons in Convention Hall, was
born in a gypsy tent, while his faith.
er's tribe was camping in England.
The elder Smiths father became
converted after HIS wife died from
smallpox, and he was left with five
little children, one OF whom was
Gypsy Smith. The fathers CONVEX
sion led to the conversion OF the
son. Before Gypsy Smith was eight
cen years old, he was taken in
charge by Gen. William Booth, found
er OF the Salvation Army, and trained
as a preacher.
Gypsy Smith, ST., has preached the
Gospel in all quarters OF the globe,
and in every English-speaiing coun-
try in the world. He il now conduct

soldiers in the trenches in Flanders

To Use Card System.
1t is not expected that the evan
geIIst will extend invitation to pros
pective converts tonight. In other
cities he has preached for at least
week before asking for professions
of faith. A card system will then be
introduced by the evangelist and Prof.
Forest Cole. his choir leader.
The cards are designed to show
whether the man or woman Is max
ing the FIRST step toward a Christian
life, whether they are coming back
to Christ" or whether they have de-
cided TO affiliate themselves with
some church in Washington after
desultory affliation with churches in
other cities.
To Raise Only 5000.
Announcement was made by DR..
Palmer today that the $1,000 TO be col
lScted by passing the plate at the
evangelistic services would be raised
TO defray the cost OF the tabernacle
and other expenses incurred incident
20 the revival. When this $1,000. is
raised the plate will no longer be
passed.
On Sunday night $500 was contrib
uted by the congregation and turned
over to the finance committee con-
sisting OF Henry r. Simpson, chair
man: Irving 3. Linton. and James
Selbie. 1t is hoped that the $4,000
can be raised within the nrst ten
days so as to dispense with the col
lection at the services.
Gypsy Smith, jr.. will receive no
part OF the 5000. DR.. Palmer an
nounced. A free will offering for the
evangelist will be asked for on the
last day none of the money contribut-
ed will go to Gypsy Smith, tr.
First Daylight Sermon.
Tomorrow afternoon at > o'clock
the evangelist will preach his FIRST
daylight sermon in Washington. The
text for the sermon will be Pools

Gypsy Smith, jr., was given an en-
thusiastic welcome by Bishop Hard
ing and a number OF Episcopal clergy
men at a reception held in the rectory
Of Grace Episcopal Church, Ninth and
d streets southwest, last night.
Powerful Sermon.
The evangelist delivered an extern
poraneous sermon, which greatly af-
fected the clergymen. One today in
formed DR.. Palmer that sit was the
most remarkable sermon L have ever
heard, and Gypsy Smith, jr., il one Of
the most remarkable men ever saw"
As a result OF this demonstration
of the powers OF the evangelist, the
Episcopal clergYmen today decided to
to attend the services at the taber-
nacle in a body some night next
week. DR.. Palmer said he had so
many reservations already made that
he would have TO stud the program
and select a night for the Episcopal
ministers. The delegation of aectors
in all probability will be headed by
Bishop Harding. who confessed him
self much impressed with the evan
gelist.
