PRAISESEVANGELISTS
"ROLLICKING HUMOR"
Rev. Walter Burnett Says Billy Is
An Inspiration.

Getting Rid of Fears" was the topic
OF the sermon delivered last night by
Rev. Walter f. Burnett at Foundry
". Z. Church.
Rev. Burnett also praised Billy Sun
day. declaring his "rollicking good
humor" to be one OF the finest things
about the Tabernacle meetings.
There are men and women who are
nervous" said Rev. Burnett. Their
minds are ill at ease, the delicate
bodily mechanism has been thrown out
Of adjustment by the soul. The soul
is restless, conscience is uneasy or it
is drugged. No psychiatrist can reach
their needs except to discover that
some secret ill is preying upon the
spirits health. They need God. They
need the wholeness that comes with
faith and obedience. They need the
gospel treatment. They need the un-
affected happiness of simple Christian
faith
"One OF the finest things about the
Tabernacle meetings Is the rollicking
good humor Of Mr.. Sunday. Some peo-
pie hear only the reverberations of
heavy theological canuonading-the
iurid hashings of terrific denunciation
of sin, the raucous jarring speech
about sin and hell To me, with all
this, there is a fine diffusion OF the
sweetest. simplest. sparklingest, Joy
BUSINESS and happiness and hopefulness
that one can find anywhere.
He lets loose the thunders and
Yields sword of flame. but the real
Billy Sunday Is the simple-hearted,
wholly natural and sincere. bubbIingIy
happy. boyish soul beneath this grim
lrmor Of the Christian warrior"

year that the country should be put

which has occurred.
Our administration cannot be

opportunity. untrammeied, free from

to do its work in comfort and peace?
This is no time for partisanship or to

THURSTON To AID
PUPILS GYM DRIVE
Superintendent of Schools Indorses
Training School Campaign.

Ernest L. Thurston, superinten-
dent Of schools. last night pledged
his enthusiastic support to the stu
dents of the Mckinley Manual
Training School in their effort to
gain for their school a gym" and
larger assembly hall. The students
expect to complete their petition
ing the early part of the week.
Circulation of the pledge is in
the hands of the general organiza-
tion or student government body of
the school. Proof of the serious
ness of the pupils is found in the
fact that they have printed the pc
titions themselves and in their own
print shop.
Decision was made at a meeting
Of the presidents Of the various
sections in the school to secure the
signatures of the pupils as quickly
as possible in order that they may
then concentrate on the real drive
A particularly timely argument
made by the students in their petit
tion is that in their present cramp-
ed conditions they lack space for
the proper storage of government
arms.

VICTORY BREAD DAY
DAWNS FOR BAKERS
Five Per Cent Admixture to Wheat
Flour First Step.

Bakers and hotels managers, guided
by the Food Administration order for
Victory Bread" win begin today to
make, 1t.
All the large bakeries of Washing
ton will start using per cent of
cereals other than wheat flour in all
bread. pies and pastries.
Hotels will begin baking bread. pies
and pastries that contain 30 per cent
of cereals other than wheat -four.
Enforced use of substitutes for
wheat -four will ihean an early in
crease In price, unless bakers are al
lowed to reduce the size Of loaf,
they assert.
Cost of all substitutes Is higher
than wheat -four. bakers say, and in
addition the substitutes containing
less gluten than wheat -four are less
absorbent and require more to make
an equal weight when baked.
The amount of cereals other than
wheat -four used in baking bread will
be increased gradually until 20 per
cent substitutes are used, and later
the amount may be advanced to as
high as 30 per cent.
One of the problems facing them.
bakers said. was lack Of sufficient sub
stitutes. Unless shipments ordered
weeks and months ago arrive shortly
they must close down or return to all
wheat baking, it was asserted.
A meeting of the hotel managers
will be held this afternoon, at which
plans for Uniform action will be formu-
lated.
No decision has been made as to
which meal in public each day shall be
wheatless and which meal shall be
meatless. This will be decided after
conferences with the District admins

ALLIED FLYERS
SOON TO SOAR.
OYER CAPITAL
British to Use Two Large
Biplanes in Numerous
Flights.

Aviators of the British Mission will
make several flights over Washington
in two large biplanes within the next
few days
The only flights ever before made
over the Capital by foreign military
aviators were by Italians, in a large
Caproni triplane, several months ago.
The British airmen will fly from heIt
to aviation concentration and train
ing camps throughout the country.
The machines are large biplanes of
the Avro type, used in England prin-
cipally for training purposes. They ar
rived last night. As soon as they are
assembled and tuned up, the flights
will begin.
Lee May Fly First.
Col. Lee, head Of the British avia-
tors in this country, probably will
make the first flights. 1t Is planned to
have every member OF the British
flying corps in the city make at least
one ascent
The flights will start from Potomac
Park and the machines will land
there after they have circled the Cap
itol White House, the Monument and
other places.
Cold weather may delay activities.
said Capt. T. B. Marsan. a member
of the mission.
Washingtonians were promised
plenty of flights.
"The people will get SO they won't
even bother to look up at us after a
short WHILE" Capt. Marsan said.
The machines were brought here for
the use of the mission, but 1t is said
the flights will be made in connection
with experiments of the American
army.
Have Seen Service.
All the members Of the aviation
mission have seen service at the
front. Flights probably will be made
by Capt Bloomfield. CAPT T. B. Mar
san and Lieut.. ]. A. Sully. in addition
to Capt. Lee.
The mission arrived in this coun-
try about three weeks ago. How
long they will remain in Washing
ton is not known. Lieut. Sully prob
ably will remain three weeks.
At the aviation camps throughout
the country the Britons aid Ameri-
can army officers in training thou
sands of men as aviators.
Lieut.. Sully came here from his
home in Canada after his return
from the front in France on a ten
day leave.
The death rate among aviators
at the front is so high, it is said.
that the squadrons have to be re-
organized every few months. Fifty
per cent of the men who actually
fly at the front either are killed or
permanently put out of action. The
death rate for the entire Aviation
Corps. however. is not very high,
because of the large number of men
who do not fly. Twenty men on the
ground are needed to keep one man
in the air.

McAdoo's order was sweeping. but 1t
is not too sweeping IL you want to

were amendments in 1896 and 1910 to
the law of 1857 and these amendments
prohibited the use of passes. The last
amendment was the more sweeping.
But there were a lot of exceptions
made. Employees of the railroads, the
medical STATS, the legal STATS and
others were exempted from the appIi-
cation of the measure. But / guess
this has been pretty literally con-
strued by the gadlroads.
"Of course, when some one is riding
