9PATROL DRIVERS
SUMMAR|Ly FIRED
Given But So Hours Notice After
Failure to Pass Civil
Service Tests.

Upon thirty-six hours notice the
services of nine patrol drivers in the
Metropolitan Police Department were
terminated at midnight last night by
order OF the District Commissioners.
Failure OF these men to pass a phys
ical examination was assigned by the
Commissioners as the sole reason.
Last Monday. twenty-five drivers
were called upon to be examined.
Thirteen qualified, and the remaining
number were notified their services
would end December 4. Commissioners
Brownlow states the police bill, just
passed by Congress. provides that
drivers shall be put on the same
status as policemen, with salary OF
81, 700 per year.
A clause in the bill requires every
patrol driver to be examined before
his status is transferred, and Com
missioner Brownlow asserts that in
accordance with law, the examination
was held and those failing were
dropped.
OF the nine drivers, six are former
service men. One man has wife
home i'll. The wife was forced to get
up out of a sickbed and go to work
today, while the husband now is try
ling to secure another position. There
are several children in his family.
| No opportunity was given the
drivers to secure another position and
the Commissioners order came unex-
pectedly. 1t is customary in the Po-
lice Department for a resigning po-
lliceman to give the department thirty
days notice else be termed deserter
from the service.
| Although the provisions of the bill
ARE not as yet law, Commissioner
lBrownlow and Chief of Police Pull
man state it may be signed any min
ute by the President They assert
that when the new law is passed they
can no longer retain these nine driv-
ers, so for this reason notified them
their services were ended last night.

Editorial

Here are some facts
about this Early Shop
ping propaganda; facts
that show the sound
ness of the appeal.
There are, say, 6O0,-
600 residents of the
District who will buy
an average of ten gifts
each at a total of
100000.
Only seventeen shop
ping days remain. If
the buying is distri-
buted evenly, about
352,40 gifts must be
purchased each day; or
35,240 shoppers will be
on the streets each
day.
Some crowd.
But this isn't the
way it will work.
The first ten days
will see about 10000
gift-ceekers out per
day; the last seven
days will find from 50,.
900 to $4,000 people
jamming and packing
the stores from open
ing to closing time. }

information. The moving prayers OF
Moses were plain talks with God, tell
ing Him his wants and asking for the
petitions to be granted. Elijah prayed
that there be no rain, and again for
it. He asked for fire from heaven to
consume the sacrifice. Solomon made
a great prayer with the dedication OF
the temple, and had it full OF petitions
for the blessing of God on the house,
and on those who made petitions
there or even toward it, in'faith. Those
who rdicule short earnest prayers for
what one needs, make mistake. May
God forgive them for their ungOdli-
ness.
In the lesson verse from 1 John 5
it is said that "if we ask anything &C
cording to His will He heareth u.s."
1t is told us in another place that
reason why we do not always get just
what we ask for is that our prayers
|are selfish and we ask for things to
CONSUME on our lusts." 1t is not best
to ask for nice clothes, special things
to eat. for objects the giving of which
to us would impoverish and pain 9th
ers. In the model prayer which we an
know there is alteration to God and
then requests for things temporal, a
keeping from evil, confession OF sins
and asking for forgiveness, right
things to have there.
Jesus prayed many times; indeed
spent nights in prayer alone. He pray
ed before the agony in the garden, and
ended life with prayer for His spirit,
do I'm hn Inn GLOW Tho
Apostle Paul says 'Tn everything by
prayer and supplication with thanks
giving, let your requests be made
known unto God" Again he saiys
pray without ceasing." One must
pray to be a christian, they just can
not help it. One should as soon think
of trying to live without eating food
as to make progress in christian life
without prayer Prayer is heard and
answered.. God be praised for this.
