DRIVE FOR PREACHERS
PENSIONS STILL ON HERE
Rev. J. T. B. Smith of Chicago Puts
Issue Square1y Before D. C.
Church Folks at Meeting.

The drive for preachers pensions in
the Methodist Episcopal churches of
Washington was continued in several
of the churches yesterday. At Foun-
dry Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev.
J. T. B. Smith, Chicago. manager of
campaigns. made a plea for the $780,
600 fund which is being raised in the
Washington and other districts Of the
Baltimore conference. DR.. Lucien
Clark presided and spoke of the eff
fort to care for the retired ministers.
DIR. Smith said in part: "Practi-
cally all Protestant churches are max
ing strenuous efforts to provide pen
siens for the wornout preachers and
adequate care of the widows and de-
pendent orphans of deceased ministers.
The average salary of the Protestant
preachers is barely $1,000. 1t is con-
tinually asked: What is the average
salary of an American minister and
why can he not have sufficient money
his old age?'

ARMY MAY MUSTER OUT
MILLION BY new YEAR
More Than $4,000 Each Day Dur
ing December to Leave Service
Under Present Plans.

More than 100000 soldiers mustered
out of the Army by January 1 is the
hope of officials, who are figuring on
mastering out more than $4,000 day
during December.
These figures will include the 250.000
designated for return by Gen. PERISH
ing. Many American soldiers are now
on the seas. 1t is expected that they
will be home for Thanksgiving.
Ten thousand ayiatorS are in this
number

Would Deprive Family to Save.

This salary conclusively proves
that if the preacher were to save he
would rob himself and family of the
necessities of life, and cripple his own
efficient service as pastor and preacher.
The plan of the Methodist Episcopal
Church is to give every retired minis
ter $50 for every year of active serv-
ice. Thus a pastor who has had forty
years of active service will receive
$500. At the present time the con-
ferences pay as they are able; some
$40, some IS. some IS. and some only
IS for each year of active service"
DR.. Smith said the three Baltimore
districts had already raised s145,00O,
and were still in the campaign.

to provide these things. It--is very
doubtful if the various states will be
permitted to badger the roads with the
conflicting regulations of their forty
eight commissions, as they have in
the past.
The program may sound miilennial
in its aspirations. but in reality it is
entirely within the scope of practical
achievement. In a nutshell. all that is
asked for, is adequate railroad serv-
ice permitted toe develop under the
energetic initiative of private owner
ship, with the competitive feature re-
placed by unified contsol govern
mentally directed. In this way it is
believed we shall obtain satisfactory
service for the public, credit that will
enable the roads to expand and de-
velop, all of which would insure pro-
lection for the security holders.

HEART AND BEAUTY

BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am getting
brown spots all over my face. They
are not freckles and are far apart. A
sort time ago 1 had only one or two
of them, but now my face is gradually
becoming covered with them. Can
you please tell me what they are and
how to get rid Of them?

They indicate that the blood is in bad
condition and the liver is torpid. Some
kind of blood purifier should be taken.

water for twenty minutes. 1t is drunk
thru the day and may be sweetened
if desired.
Spirits of camphor may prove bene-

times a day and at night and allowed

You really ought to consult a physf-
clan. You seem to have liver spots
and should be advised how to improve
the condition of your liver.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: One evening
boy friend and 1 were footing with
my ring and he put it on his finger
and wouldn't give it back. 1t is a
ring my mother gave me last Christ

Write to the boy and ask him for
the ring.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am only 19
years of age and have two steady boy
love me and figure on marrying me on
their return. But only think
enough of one of them to claim him
as a husband. 1 am also going with a
young man here whom I could I'M
doubtedly love better. I also think he
likes me great deal, but he likes
and says he enjoys the company OF
certain young lady in town whom !

Would it be right for me to allow
I could learn to love him better, but
stiils disliking this other lady? Or
what should do? INPATIENT.
1t is possible, you know. to have

rying them. Do not try to love boys
Just regard them as friends, and when
love does come you will not be in
doubt about it
You seem to be trifIing. Never
give the impression that you care
enough for a man to marry him unless
you really do. If 1 were you would

Since you are not engaged to the
boy here, you have no right to object

you dislike the girl. you are foolish

two yards more of it-a new porter
was engaged.
He was only an Englishman, but
meant to do his duty.

the name of the station. but failed
miserably to pronounce more than
about the first inch.
But he was a man of brains. Run
ming along the platform he pointed to
the board which bore the lengthy
name, and yelled out:

this is it!''

STRIVING FOR LIGHT.

II the railroad problem can be kept
out of politics it may be worked out
with justice and fairness to all, and to
the great enhancement of future prog
ress. Slowly but surely q sound rail-
road policy is being developed-in this
country. 1t finds expression in the
published statements and interviews
of leading railway executives and their
counsel. 1t is attaining definiteness
and clarity thru enlightened discus
sion in the public press where recent
editorial utterances have been marked
by a broad and helpful spirit. 1t re-
ceived additional impetus from the
message of the president when he in
dicated his leaning toward a modified
private ownership with reasonable
government regulation. Judging from
the activity on the part of railroad
executives and their counsel a plan in
accordance with these broad outlines
will be formulated and reduced to de-
tails as soon as possible.
The country demands a fair solu-
ton of its railroad problem. 1t does
not favor government ownership with
its handicap of political intrigue and
its presidents of tape-bound inef-
ficiency. At the same time the people
are unwilling to see return to the
old methods of unrestrained compe-
tition with its bitter rivalries. financial
muddles. and frequent disregard of the
rights either of the public or the
stockholders.
The intermediate course. such as
the president suggested, should have
as its primary objects the furnishing
of an adequate service at reasonable
cost, the payment of fair wages. the
provision OF ample facilities and
equipment, and the protection of
security holders.
Our experiment in government con-
troll has been worth the price. gays the
Wollman Review, because it has
opened the eyes of the public. The
people have learned that good service
cannot be maintained without fair
rates; that railroads cannot pay sat
isfnctory wages, maintain their tracks,
'orminals. and rolling stock unless
@"ir operating income is large enough
