person was injured and several 9TH
ers had narrow escapes from death
Yesterday afternoon, when a funeral
party returning from St. Mary's
cemetery and a farmers horse and
wagon were s~ideswiped by an auto
mobile truck. The accident hap
pened when the funeral procession
reached Stevens avenue, as the auto
truck started to cross Main street

the procession too late to stop. the
driver of the truck swung the ma
chine to one side of the road, side
swiping the farmers vehicle and
then swung back into the opposite
direction, striking the first automo-
bile in the long line of funeral cars.
DIR. J.. +. Weber was called 10 the

tured radiator, but was able to pro-
coed. The touring car in which

VAN CANNOT REPEAL
TEN COMMANDMENTS
BY DIR. .Inmcs L. Vance

Is there any reason why the
world today should follow the moral
standards of Moses? The ten COM
mandments were all right 1000
years ago, but has not the time ar
rived for revision?
II so. what are the changes to be
made. and who is to make them?
Can God change the ten COM
mandments? He is almighty, but
there are some things that evo..
God cannot do. He cannot make
two and two equal five. lie cannot
deny Himself. He cannot make
what is essentially wrong essentially
right. Therefore God cannot make
murder moral, nor stealing honest,
nor lechery virtuous. nor blasphemy
holy.
If God cannot change the ten
commandments, no mere human
tribunal is likely to qualify for the
task.
Besides. what changes would seem
desirable? Suppose we agree that
the time has arrived in this new
world for new moral standards;
what revision shall be made? Is
there any one of the ten we would
leave ont?
Has the world gotten far enough
along to do without the first table
OF the law dealing with mans re,a-
tons to God? Arc we ready to
make atheism the creed of man
kind? IL so, we need not bother
ourselves about morals at all, for a
world without God is a world with
out restraints.
Can we afford TO do away with
the second table of the law. dealing
with mans relations to his fellow
mon? Are we ready to lcgalize the
ruin Of the family and license adul-
terry, lying, stealing. murder, and

When railway engines were new
in the world they pounded the rails
with the aid of cord wood. They
were small and broke no speed rec
ords, as speed records go these days.
The only large thing about them
was the smokestack, which needed
to be large to carry off the large
volume of smoke made by burning
wood.
The little engine shown above is
the one that should have carried
President-elect Harding to Point
Isabel. but happened to be laid up

Few of these woodworking loco

CH|LpRENS BOOK
WEEK HAS BEGUN
Pupils of School No. ! Ac-
companied by Many Par
entS Visit Library.

Children and parents focked to
the Public Library to the opening
of Children's Book week which will
last through Saturday night. More
than 200 children and several par
ents of school 1, were the guests yes
lerday and were delighted over the
novelty of the Book Week activities.
In charge of Miss Edith Myers,
~children's librarian, the book dem
erected in the auditorium was the
scene of much interest on the part
of h youngsters who were inter-
ested in reading good books. Dec
GRATED in the national colors the lit
tie room was fitted up as a home Ii
brary and could be entered only
through a unique doorway just three
and a a feet high. Children who
were taller than this were not per-
mitted to enter thus enabling only
children of approximately the same
age to be together at the same time.
Only books of the highest calibre,
all loaned by McDevitt and Wilson,
were on exhibition in the book cases
on the table and stands and were
inspected by the inquisitive young
sters. Outside the den, scattered
throughout the auditorium were
other books for the older children
arranged so that the children sat in
groups in order to browse through
them. Souvenirs of book marks
and pastors were given out and lit
erature concerning the best books
for the home were handed to the
parents.
The children of the city will at
tend the exhibition by schools and
in the afternoon the parents are
urged to attend. In the night time,
however, the parents will be received
only Thursday and Saturday, as the
parents as well as the children form
too large a crowd to handle.
Children's Book Week has been
endorsed nationwide by many of
the educators of the country and the
cooperation here is greatly appre-
ciated. At Neer's and Reynolds
there are displays of %children's
books o the entire week and under
the supervision of Mrs. NJ. S. Dan
