REV. c. G. CHAPPELL
TAKES new PULPIT
Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Church Greets Minister.

A preacher from out Of the great
Southwest in the person of Rev. Clovis
g. Chappell was introduced as the
new pastor Of the Mount Vernon Place
Methodist Church before q large con-
gregation in that edifice yesterday. DR..
Chappell, not yet 10 years old, Yves
pastor of the University Church, OF
Dallas, Tex, before assuming his i'm
portant charge in this city.
DR.. Chappell, a vigorous and progress
sive type of minister who ostensibly
believes in bringing to the church all
the proper and deserving attention It
can get from the people, spoke rather
informally to his new charges yester-
day morning on incidents of his past
ministry.
Referring to his first pastorate in an
Indian Territory town, the new min
lister said that the parson whom he
succeeded got into trouble through
drinking too much corn in liquid
FORM" while another local clergyman
there had the same misfortune with
the addition of being put on trial for
wife-beating.
DIR. Chappell, by reason Of his splen-
did work in the Southwest, is regarded
as one Of the most powerful preachers
in Southern Methodism. He stands for
more publicity in church matters and
the adoption of modern methods in
getting people to seek the church.
After a committee OF members sue
ceeds in securing a suitable residence
for their new pastor the latter will
bring his wife and two children. to this
city to live.

pect her to accept all OF her opinions
ready from him.
Undoubtedly these considerations
cause many a man, to pass over the
clever woman for her stupid sister.
but when he does so he pays a ter
rife price for the qualification of
his egotism. For in its last analysis
the one absolutely essential ingre-
dent to a happy marriage is for the
wife to drop into 1t a full-weight
brain. and no woman without intel
ligence can be a satisfactory life
partner.
A woman's beauty is a matter OF
very few years at the longest,
When 1t is gone what charm has she
to conjure with il she has not intel
ligence, reading, wit? II she can
not entertain and amuse a man she
has no longer the good looks TO
charm This eyes.
Living pictures deteriorate year by
year. but brains are like wine: they
grow in flavor and richness with age
And this also Is to be said, that
no women in the world grow so
homely with age as stupid women,
who have no intelligence to light
is dead. When you travel in the ORR
ent, and observe the hideous, dull
blankness Of the old womens faces,
you realize that it's worth while
to educate women just for the sake
of their looks.
Matrimohy is the long, long trail.
It's queer that men who are intel
ligent themselves deliberately pick
ney that is going to last perhaps
for forty or fifty years companions
who will bore them stiff after the
first brief lap of the honeymoon.
You would think that a man who is
clever himself would hunt up the clev-
crest woman he could find for a fellow
voyager. that he would get one who
could discuss the books he liked with
him, who would understand his little
half word references to this and that
in literature and history, and who
could catch the subtle flavor of all
his wit and humor. But he seldom
does. He's afraid of that sort of
woman. God only knows why. No
woman ever does. especially the clever
woman doesn't who sees her pin-head-
ed sister gathering in for a husband
the man she does not understand and
never can understand. while the wo-
man who could understand him breaks
her heart with longing for him.
Men are afraid Of the clever woman,
and yet it takes brains to run a home
thrifily. to raise children properly,
and to meet with philosophy trials and
tribulations of every day life. If a
woman has intelligence she can and
will adapt herself cheerfully to any
emergency that may arise. 1t is only
the fool woman who is hopeless, who
can never rise to the situation or see
anything bigger and finer than her
own little miserable prejudices and de-
sires.
The only woman At to marry is the
clever woman, yet men are SO afraid
Of her they fight shy of her. That is
why divorce is so common.

HOROSCOPE.
Monday. April II, 1918.

This Is a most unfavorable day. ac-
cording to astrology. While Mars and
Venus rule strongly for evil, the Sun,
Neptune, Saturn and Mercury are all
adverse.
Under this confguration the most de-
spondent moods are produced and
cheerfulness and optimism should be
cultivated.
There is a sign forecasting losses In
the army and the augury for the navy
Is not altogether favorable.
Women are likely to be disappointed
in some political move. but the stars
indicate that after delays and thwart-
ed plans success will come.
Venus seems to foreshadow that
women will have much influence in
the autumn elections and that one OF
the two great political parties will
make a serious mistake that con-
Germs them.
This is not an encouraging rule for
hotel-keepers, modistes, theatrical
managers or importers.
Mines continue under a sinister d.
rection making for strikes, fires and
even loss OF life.
The death of an aged legislator is
indicated before May !.
As the summer quarter approaches
there is indicated a general solidifying
OF war effort. This follows a sudden
realization Of the meaning OF the world
conflict to Americans.
The seers declare that the allies will
pass through certain reverses that will
lead to better coordination of forces.
This will occur after cooperation has
seemed satisfactory, but events will
teach severe lessons. the seers declare.
Persons whose birthdate It Is may
have an anxious year in the home
Is we'll as the shop or office. They
should guard against lawsuits.
Children born on this day may be
rash and impulsive. They may be too
great favorites with the opposite sex.

Paris Trims with Gingham and
Wooden Beads.

The Paris correspondent Of the
Woman's Home Companion gives
these fashion pointers:
Something new is the use Of ging-
hams for trimming and Innings. Col
lars, cuffs and belts on blue, brown
and tan serges are of gingham in
two-color plaided designs. Yellow and
black and rose and white ginghams
are favorite combinations. On these
serges. by the way, soutache braid in
simple designs, preferably clustered
lines, Is effectively used.
White and colored wooden beads
continue as decoration on new spring
and summer dresses A stunning
frock of black serge had white wood
en- beads sewed on in rows bordering
the skirt, decorating collar and cuffs
and covering the narrow belt, which
was clasped by a white buckle. Chan
ell Is using quantities of white jersey
with trimmings of white wooden
beads.
White serge, white corduroy. and
pale gray shades count largely in the
latest dresses. On white serge, coarse
silk machine stitching and handsome
silk braid are preferred, but blue
trimming on gray dresses remains q
favorite combination

Special to The Washington Herald.
Toledo, Ohio. April H.-This city of
10000 has captured the honor flag
from Washington, as the first metro
politan city to pass its Third Liberty
Loan Quota.
Toledo's quota was ss,25O0OO. This
was secured by noon April 10. The
campaign started Liberty Day. April
6. OF course Toledo didn't stop there.
She has raised several millions more
and is still going. And to date there
are more than 5000 individual sub
scribers. There were only 1900 sub
scribers to the first loan and 1900 to
the second.
How Did Toledo Do lit
BY complete organization.
W. W. Knight, general chairman OF
the organization. and Frank r.
Coates, general sales manager. con-
ceived and directed the organization
plan. In the past campaigns too
much effort was lost and too many
escaped buying by saying that they
were going to buy from somebody
else.
Organization.
Toledo had a captain of each ward,
who named a captain in every pre-
cinct, and he in turn named a cap
tain in every block-a total of 5000
workers.
Cards were prepared in advance
from the tax duplicate. Each man
was rated. Those who could take
bonds from 1900 up were handled by
a special sales committee, the corpo-
rations by a corporation committee.
A report had to be made on every
card.
Rules.
No one could buy a bond except
from his own proper salesman. The
could any Of the selling agencies in
other campaigns. Former excuses
didn't go.
Yellow Cards.
Those who could but did not buy,
those who bought a SO bond when
they could afford to buy 500. were
sent a refusal card. When. after in
vestigation, tho ward and precinct
captains were certain that such were
not doing their duty, they were listed
on a yellow card and this card was
so widely advertised that few cared
to brave the publicity.
Draft.
The general committee drafted all
its 5000 men for Service at home
in formal notices. Not a man re-
fused. Each salesman was sworn in
by judge and given a bronze badge
bearing the shield of the L. San
eagles outstretched wings-and the
saleman's number
School
For two weeks ahead of the cam
paign schools were held in every pre-
cinct with patriotic speakers from a
central bureau and experts to teach
the selling points.
Advertising.
Prizes were offered and a Liberty
Loan song selected, which was sung
and whistled everywhere. Nearly
10000 pieces OF mail advertising went
out-something to every home-prior
to the campaign, So pages of news
paper advertising were used. the
money being solicited by the Ad-
vertising Club. every available spot
was plsstered with posters, every
automobile with a windshield sticker,
every trolley and lamp post sign with
a forceful reminder. Street cars were
painted outside with pictures Of Ger
man atrocities.
