Older than you are, but you can
learn the requirements by writing
to Congressman johnson.
Dear Miss Grey: When serv-
ing at dinner, should the meat,
potatoes, and gravy be put upon
the plate, and each one help
himself to the vegetables; or
should, just the meat be served
by the host? +. b.
As q general rule, the host
serves only the meat and potatoes.
The gravy Is passed tn each guest.
Other vegetables such as corn,
peas, beans, carrots, ETC.. are serv-
ed as side dishes by the hostess OF
some member Of the family.

to please and protect her.
| have been taking her to
dances and she asked me to in
troduce her, and her sisters who
always came along, to my boy
friends. ! introduced her to
one of my friends who was a
very good dAncer. The second
time she danced quite a few
dances with him, and he took
her to lunch, which was served
at counter in the hall.
Then l left with the rest Of
our crowd and went up town.
When / came back, she was sit
ting on a bench with him and

apologized on the way home.

going with her as tho nothing
had happened?

You were wrong, too, when you
went away from the dance and left

wrongs never make one right.

her company, and she, yours, I see
no reason why you should discon.

LEMOYNE MANS
NEW WAR CAR
Light and Speedy Armored
Tractor Approved by the
War Department

Lemoyne, April 4.-George Il.
Walker, of the Lincoln Hotel. at Lam
caster, resident ofsthis borough for
many years until recently. has pat
ented light, fast and heavily-ar-
mored tractor or motorcar for use in
the war zone
He has submitted his plans to the
War Department and has been mott
fed of their acceptance. His idea is
for car that is curved on all an
giles, which would mean effectual
protection from machine gun or
Shrapnel fire. As designed il would
carry two guns and be operated by
FIVE men, two drivers. two gunners
ard man who would operate tine
turning of the entire body on a ball
bearing swivel. which would allow
their gun To be trained in any di-
Tection in the twinkling OF an eye.
There are many unique features to
the car, which are almost too tech
rical to describe. but that there is
merit in the idea is advanced by the
fact that the War Department has
seen fit to accept il. IL is interest
ing to note that Mr.. Walkers scheme
patented several weeks ago is iden-
tically the same as that voiced by
Henry Ford in articles which ap-
peared in public print within the
past few days.
Mr.. Walker is well known in this
borough and in Harrisburg business
circles.

British Evangelist Here

States Gypsy Emith, perhaps the
most famous British evangelist of
many years. This photograph shows
him in the costume he wore at the
front in France. Just before he left
Great Britain he was decorated by
King George for his services during
the war. The evangelist will tour
the United States for three weeks to
speak in many cities about the war.
Many organizations have made ef-
forts to bring the famous preacher to
the United States, but he refused to
come for any other than the Y. NJ.

WARNING GIVEN
TOAUTO DRIVERS
Borough Authorities Along
West Shore Will Order
Arrests to Stop Speeding

Borough authorities of West Shore
towns intend to enforce ordinances
which prohibit speeding of automo-
biles and motorcycles. Last sum
mer it was necessary for authorities
in West FairView, Wormleysburs,
and Camp Hill to make arrests in
Wholesale lots to break up the prac-
tiCe.
At West Fairview. Constable Al
bert Shaull last year was compelled
to make twenty arrests in one week
in midsummer when traffic was the
heaviest. Automobile drivers will
be given due warning by Constable
Shaull not to violate the traffic or
dinance and If the warnings are not
needed arrests will follow.
At Wormleysburg council was
slightly hampered in campaign
against speeding last summer on aC-
count of not having a cons.<Sle.
Later in the summer man was
elected to the position and arrests
were made which eventually broke
up the practice of using Front street
as Il speedway. The main thorough
fare of WormleySburg is one of the
smoothest on the West Shore and has
been used as 4 speedway by motor
lists. Burgess J. Fred Hummel re-
Gently deCl6Ned that he would use
drastic measuNes this summer if mo-
torists insisted on speeding through
the town.
At Camp Hill when Market street
was in good condition last summer
thousands of cars passed through the
town on Il Sunday, Many of these
drivers took advantage of the privi-
leges granted by authorities and
speeded, and also violated the law
in other respects. \ constable has
been secured by council and he will
patrol tho streets. Speeding will
be broken up from the start, au-
thoritieS declare.

perative that We minister to all who
look to us for Jesus Christ in these
trying days.
ihe udNu VI lHe new day is
here to-day" said the Rev. f.. G.
Keboch, director of the drive. "The
Sunday schools must become schools
in the real sense of the term. The
Bible the textbook. Sunday school
faculties must be more efficient. The
public schools have reached such a
degree of effectiveness in impartinC
knowledge that the Sunday school
must be improved and brought up to
present day standards or lose her
opportunity. In fact the immense
development of ordinary secular
education is putting the Sunday
school on trial: modern conditions of
life are making it more and more
difficult to keep up its efficiency.
Volunteer service, which has always
been the most effectual when efficient
is receiving a new challenge. AL
ready some city schools have paid
directors of elementary instruction
and many have directors of religious
education. The specialized study of
child-nature and its education has
applied itself vigorously to modern|
methods for the Sunday school,

have their needs, hungers and GRAY
ings. That is Gods best time to pour
into the soul that which wisdom has
foreordained.
Here then is a campaign that isl

all Methodists, as well as other lovers
of Sunday school work. Graded
pupils, graded instruction, modernI
