Concerning the Skip-Stop

W. HAT sensible objection there can be to
w trial Of the skip-stop system on the
lines OF the Virginia Railway and Power
Company, in ras!oence sections it would be
hard for any one to say. The s!stem works
excellently we'll IN other cities and should
have the same success in Richmond. but a
trial would not necessarily mean permanent
retention. If the skip-stop does not fit into
local conditions, and the experiment reveals
this, Richmond keep to its old ways.
Every stop is drag, and cutting the num-
Der in half would accomplish nuch. Let's
try the plan, anyhow. 1t may please us so
we'll that we shall wonder why i. was not

Consider the Lilies,

e 1FTY years ago the lilies grew only for
/ season, but now they grow all the year
around. and give to the eyes and soul of man
their perennial beauty. To the nuptials and
the marriage feast the lily is now always
ready to contribute its pride and splendor.
To death and to the grave II comes with its
always fresh bloom OF immortality. From
the bosom OF Mother Earth it springs etern-
ally as the one matchless emblem of creation
Half century ago Abraham Liddon Pen
mock carried some bulbs Of the lily Of the
valley to his springhouse, and there taught
them the secret of growing and blooming all
the year around. Although no achievement

II ought not to be necessary to call this

but the reminder will do no harm Experi-

their faces sternly against 1t. Members OF
tho boards must remember also that their
responsibility is joint, as well as several and

Tho English Speaking Peoples" By
George Louis Beer. has Just been pub
l!shed by the Macmillan Company. Tho
question OF closer relations between
Ei::slsh-speaking peoples is discussed
In this book. The author analyses tho
nature OF the established International
system and considers the problem Of
how 10 secure the future reace OF the
world. He reviews tho history Of the
past decade in the light Of the openly
expressed hostility of influential Ger
mans to what they designate as the
"Anglo-SaSon block" and explains the
fundamental aims OF German policy.
The vital issues involved In the war
are defined and the factors essential
to better international relationships
are described. 1t Is concustve!y
operative alliance Of the English
speaking peoples of North America,
Britain, Africa and Australasia Is not
only essential to their own security,
but that under existing conditions, such
an association is the only reliable and
the only attainable bulwark OF free
dom and liberty for the world.
