ANOTHER PROBLEM
Pictures Now Accompany Index
of G. W. U. Girls, Who Are
CataIogued.

Members OF a certain George Wash
ington University fraternity are pat
ting themselves on the back and smil'
ing. They have solved a difficulty
through the aid OF science.
Some time ago they found difficulty
in securing girls for all fraternity
members to escort to dances and en-
tertainments. But they met the p=ob-
lem smilingly, and solved 1t. They
indexed 'em.
Girls Got "Mad.-
The girls got "mad" and raised q
Juror, but they were helpless; they
could do nothing against the ''mean
old things who put them away on
file.
The only difficulty OF the new sys.
tenn came when the boys found that
some of the girls in reality were not
equal to their reps" as shown by the
files.
But the boys thought, and sciences
again came to their aid. You know
the advantage OF a rogues' gallery tn
the police" she Whispered, and the
boys got the idea Immediately.

valuations made by the experts for

Pillsbury said, were a little over 3
per cent This, he said, he regarded
as remarkable, as the methods by
which each set of experts were work
ing were unknown to the other.
Mr.. Pillsbury's qualifications hs an
expert, as recorded in the case of the
Capital Traction Company, were &C.
cepted by the company.

REPENTANCE" TOB
GYPSY SMITH TOPIC
Has Chosen That Theme for His
Sermon at Big Tabernacle
Tonight.
WILL SPEAK AT 3 TODAY
Large Delegation From Cherry
dale, Anacostia, and Con-
gress Heights.
WILL SPEAK AT 3 TODAY

Repentance" will be the theme OF
the sermon to be preached by Gypsy
Smith, jr., in the tabernacle at Six
tenth and V streets northwest at
7:30 o'clock tonight.
The evangelist will conduct services
at 3 o'clock this afternoon. but said
at noon that he would not select his
text until he looked over the crowd
and determined its spiritual needs.
He said he might preach on Crippled
Christians"
Several hundred seats will be roped
of tonight for large delegations from
Cherrydale, Va, Anacostia and Con-
gress Heights. Gypsy Smith, jr., held
a revival in Anscostia somth months
ago and made many converts. All of
these and several score other resi-
dents of the suburb requested that
seats be reserved for them tonight.
Guests of Rev. Charles Wood.
This afternoon the evangelist and
Forest Cole. his choir leader, will be
the guests of the Rev. Charles Wood,
pastor of the Church Of the Covenant,
at luncheon.
Scores of men and women were I'M
able to get into the tabernacle last
night because of the great throng
which crowded its way into the edi-
fee to hear the evangelist's famous
sermon on Moral Lepers."
Gypsy Smith, jr., eXcoriated society
for its complaisance, its lethargy,
and its tolerance of moral lepers and
loathsome sinners in its midst. The
evangelist was in what he calls flair
lighting TRIM" and he handled So
ciety with ungloved hands. His de-
nunciation of hypocrisy and sin
made the rafters shake, while the vast
congregation was electrified and held
in rapt attention by his powerful
and effective eloQuence and seemingly
inexhaustable range Of invective
against sinners.
Enthusiasm Unbounded.
His energy and power seemed I'M
bounded as he leaped from one side
OF the pulpit and gesticulated to
drive home a salient point he wished
to particularly impress upon his hear
ers.
"You may be a great political
power" he said, you may be a good
father and husband. But IL you turn
AO"h SONB gOu arc roper. 4hc
evangelist shouted this at the top of
his voice, as he held both hands above
his head, gazed upward and shook
with the emotional sincerity which
moved him. Then he wiped perspira-
tion from his brow.
When he said at is a question
that you have to decide for yourself;
the question of which shall be the con-
Queror of your soul, sin or the word
of God" he spoke with great earnest
ness.
The evangelist then told the story
of how an Iowa man had gotten
right" at his services and took home
q handkerchief filled with sawdust
to remind him of his conversion and
to prevent him from "backsliding."
Gypsy Smith, jr., took the text for
his sermon last night from the Second
Book Of Kings. THUS he Was a
Leper."
