THE UNITED CHURCH.

Rally Day at the United Church. The real starting point for the activi- ties of the winter. Every member and attendant of the church who pos sib1y can, is urged to be present at the morning service tomorrow, 10:3O o'clock, Standard time. The Mems club, all the women'S organizations, and the young peoples societies have present tomorrow, and help them to get the enthusiastic start that they should have.
 Dr. Wm. Horace Day will take as his sermon subject Beginning Right" The pastors training class will march in the professional with the choir, kindergarten church and the pastors, dispensing at the close of families or Sunday school teachers. The choir and organist have arranged the following program: Organ pre- Jude, Song of Joy" Steobins; anthem offertory, There Were Ninety and Nine," Champion; soprano solo by Mrs. Lena Mason Barnsley; organ postlude. F'lager. The collection will dollar given toward this cause now will help them to hold the present line without retreat, and will enable them to come through this great crisis in their history with flying colors All are requested to deposit with their offering tomorrow, the signed attendance cards mailed this week to each member of the parish At 12 o'clock the Sunday school meets for a special Rally Day pro- gram. The work of religious edu- cation is a most important part of the church program. Even though | other departments are very success l full if the Sunday school and Home l Department take in but a minor number of the entire parish. we are
 not wholely successful. With our | aim toward improved church at | tendance during the coming winter, | it is fully as important that we al- | ways keep the Sunday school in | mind in this connection. Will you not see that the little children in your neighiborhood, as well as in your 1 family, have regularly 'the happy | hour with us on Sunday? And why
 not let them start ii tomorrow?
 The Discussion Club which meets immediately after the morning ser vice will consider the question What | is the business of life?" What plans
 should we make if work, play, or | friendship, without systematic prac- 1 tice of religion? What results have
 you seen when a right beginning has | been made? The Junior Christian
 Endeavor Society will have a meet
 ing on Home Missions" with a
 special Rally Day program; Ndts Miss The Senior Christian Endeavor meets | as usual at 6:30.

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.

We believe that the spiritual vitality of a church is indicated by the interest shown at the Mid-Week Prayer Meet ing. First Church is justly proud of its Prayer Meetings, for they are among the most enthusiastic and best attended meetings of the week. The
 latter part of the service is turned
 over to the congregation for testi- mony and witness for the Master and so universal and spontaneous is the response that frequently the time for closing keeps many from speaking. Last Wednesday evening the official
 board of the church attended in a
 body. It was a most interesting and Inspiring meeting on the subject My Ideal of a Church. The topic for the
 coming Wednesday evening is
 "Christ's Treatment of Doubt.
 The regular meeting of the Wo- mans Home Missionary Society will
 be held Monday, September 26, at
 three o'clock at the home of Mrs.
 Chester c. Marshall, 54 Elmwood
 Place. The general topic for the meeting is The Workman and His
 Tools'' All ladies of the church are
 cordially invited.
 All the athletic activities which are organized under the Senior Sports Club are getting under way. The basketball team is being formed and will play at the Warner Institute throughout the season now starting.
 The volley ball team has been play ing for several weeks past against the team from Trinity M. F. church at the | courts of the later team on HaWley avenue, and have obtained the use of l the Salvation Army hall for practice and games during the Fall and Whit er The bowling league got under way at the Y. M. C. A. alleys last | Tuesday evening. There were forty 1 four present including ladies and men. A fine evening of fun led every | one present to profess his intention of | reserving Tuesday evening for bowl ing. We have engaged all four alleys l at the Y. M. c. A for Tuesday night 1 throughout the season We are all | children at heart after we have tenn l porarily, cast aside the veneer of work | and responsibility and the closer we l get to one another through our play 1 and recreation, the more we enjoy it and the more refreshed we are to | again take up our daily tasks Moth ing brings people any closer to each other than to play together. and we expect to cultivate among the mem bership of First Church a closer feel | ing of friendlineSS and fellowship | through the medium of play.
 l October g. has been set aside as
 Home Gathering Day of the church | All departments will rally to make this one of our red letter days and announcement in detail will occur next week.

TRYING TO CUT
 DOWN GRADE
 CROSSING DEATHS

Hartford, Sept. 24.-As part of it's efforts to cut down the number of grade crossing fatalities in Connecti- cut, the Motor Vehicle Department is taking away licenses from drivers who go over crossings without taking care enough. Employees of the de- partment and of the State Highway Department have been under orders for several months never to attempt to cross railroad tracks without shift ing into intermediate or low gear 50 feet before crossing.
 This is done not only to avoid sta11- ing the motor the tracks if the driver should suddenly be moved to jam on the gas,'' but also to insure keeping the car at controllab1e speed in case of an emergency.
 One railroad has reported that 95 out of 199 CAT per cent.) automobile accidents at railroad crossings in six
 months, resulted from automobiles trying to cross directly in front of an approaching train Of the remainder, 54 (27 per cent-) resulted from auto mobiles running into trains (not trains running into automobiles-) Actual observation of 3,5ss auto showed that: 2.907 (31 per cent-) | looked neither way before crossing: | coz GIT per cent) looked only in one direction; 80 2 per eent.) looked both
 ways.
 i A train running 40 miles an hour 1 goes 59 feet in one second and can-
 not be stopped in less than about a i quarter of a mile. An automobile i running 25 miles an hour can be | stopped in 5S feet. This is cited to l show which should stop. look and 1 listen at railroad crossings.
 Railway and trolley crossings arc. 1 generally speaking. fairly well pro- 1 tected throughout the state. There
 are still a number, on back roads principally, where the sight lines are
 bad, and where automatic sight sig | nals'' like the So-called "banio'' | ought to be at once installed. A bell
 signal is of little use to the driver
 of an automobile of the closed type He cannot hear it until too late to stop. Therefore, it is essential that
 all crossings be protected by ample
 sight lines. and if that is impossible, | as it is in many cases, by the banjo | signal" or if practicable by a watch man.

terials made in China and Japan," she said.
 Underclothing Unnecessary
 Miss BothwellS costume consists of trousers, coat and top-jacket of silk, without sleeves. and usually of some pleasing color. For an Oriental wardrobe is very compact, and sev- in the same space as can a fewer number of changes of American clothes.
 The wardrobe of Miss Boutwell, consists of about four suits and will answer for every occasion, she says.
 Another feature is that no under cbothes-in the way of skirts-are needed, and they are very comfort able, more so than anything I've ever worn before," she said. And the thing that tickles me is that do not have to wear hat or gloves
 So far Miss Boutwell, has not taken to the Oriental shoe, but announces she is having ShoeS-or rather, san dals-made to order. which will cost only $1.75 per pair
 When it is cold all you have to do is put on a couple of extra suits" she explained in answer to the query as to how she kept warm on cool even ings.
 Not only is the young artist Orien- tai in her mode of dress, but also ar ranges her hair much as do the wom- en of the Orient, and wears heavy jade earrings.
 Her plan is fast spreading to other American girls, for Chinese materials and the cost is a great deal less.
 Tt seemed unusual at first, I admit, but I had to solve the high cost of clothes. and rather like the idea" she concluded.

MOTOR BUS
 TRIAL STARTS
 UP DISCUSSION

Des Moines, Ia-, Sept 24.-The ex- tensive trial of motor busses here re- gently for the several weeks the street cars were not running has led to much discussion of their value The motor bus people have offered, if giv- en a three year franchise, to supply up-to- date busses enough to carry 100, 900 passengers to and from the business district daily.
 Merchants are generally against the proposal as they think. buses could not be made warm enough in winter to bring out the usual num- Der of shoppers
 The buses, which were licensed by the city, undercut the street car com pany charging five to the-street car company's eight cents in town, and ten as against Is cents for the sub urss. The bus people said they haul ed 10000 passengers daily, but street car officials claimed they handled no more than 10000.
