THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM.
(Our paraphrase, reprinted at Tins request)
The Lord, my Shepherd, has foreseen
My wants, my hopes and dreams,
He makes my bed in pastures green,
l walk by peaceful streams.
He heals my SOUL my feet He guides
When sin has made them lame;
These things He does, and more besidesS
All in His holy name.
Yea, though 1 walk through Deaths dark vale
No evil can alright;
Thy rod and staff will never fail
To keep my spirit bright.
A feast Thou spreadest for me, Lord,
Though enemies surround
Thine oil upon my head is poured,
My cup in JOY is drowned!
His love and mercy I know well
Shall heal all earthly scars;
When Death shall kiss me 1 will dwell
With Him among the stars!

NEED OF CRITICISM"

In recent address, Rear-Adnliral
W. S. Sims contrasted the attitude of
the United States which forbids pub
lie criticism of governmental affairs
by army and naval officers with that
of Europea npowers who recognize
criticism as vitally important to ma
tional defense. "Officers in Europe
not actually on duty" he said, ''can
publish any criticism they please but
IN he United States it is forbidden. "
The efficiency of a country like Gus
depends largely on the interest people
take in this efficiency, he said. AS a
safeguard TO public interests he urg
ed public discussion of the affairs of
the nation.

DRAFT HORSE MAY
SOON BE EXTINCT

The growing popularity OF motor
vehicles and the dwindling number OF
horses is rapidly driving the once
popular draft animal to extinction.
There are about half the number Of
horses in cities now than 10 years
ago. This is due to the falling off in
breeding.
The 1920 census figures show that
there are only $4,000 horses in New
York city as compared to $4,000
in 1910. Chicago now has $4,000
against $4,000 a decade ago. Figures
for comparison in other cities follow:
Philadelphia 10000 now and $4,000
then; Baltimore 1000 and $4,000;
Boston 10000 and $4,000; Pitts
burgh 5000 and 10000: Cincinnati

TO discuss with German officialdom.
fnanciers and industrial captains,
how Germany might be restored
where it can purchase American pro-
ducts thru some means Of STABILIZE
ing German exchange and the grant
Ing Of vast credits upon guarantees
which will offer the necessary secu-
rity to the givers of credit.
The question Of the practicability
of the Germans agreeing that German
property seized in America, but the
release Of which is expected, being
held for number of years as securi-
ty for credits has again been brought
up. Naturally the individuals who
have property in the United States
strongly oppose such action.
The statement lays great stress
upon the vast unemployment in Am
erica together with the enormous sur
plus of products there which cannot
be sold and says that it is a matter
Of serious interest to America. that
the recognition of Russia be made
possible more rapidly and sees great
advantage to America if it works to-
gether with Germany toward that
end.
Vice President Mosely Of the Am
erican Exchange National Bank of
New York, is expected to join the
commission here.
Deep Interest Aroused.
The National League of German In
dustries gave the American business
men a dinner today.
The coming of this commission. to-
gether with the visit of Barney Ba-
ruch has aroused the greatest inter
est in German banking and industrial
circles. The impression prevails in
some quarters that the sudden Am
erican interest in Germany is forced
on the one hand by the reported stag
nation in trade there and on the 9TH
er by the attempt of British and Ger
man industrial groups to effect
economic ententes with the Russian
soviet government for exploitation
and reconstruction later to the ex-
clusion of America.

Why Commit Suicide?

Frank j. Connolly, veteran
engineer for the Southern Pa
cific, in a personal plea to mo-
torist, states that he is puzzled
to know why automobile drivers
not only risk their own lives but
the lives of those riding with
them by trying to pass in front
of swiftly moving trains.
"a fault wholly within the
power of the driver of a machine
to remedy" said Connolly, is
to drive right up to within ten
or twenty feet of the tracks
when he sees a train approach
ing, even when he intends to
stop. You may have a right to
do this, but it does not give the
man on the engine a chance;
they have no way of knowing
whether you intend crossing the
track or stopping until you get
on the track. Stop back or slow
up 200 feet from the crossing.
This will give US a chance and
avoid many accidents. Also,
when you hear a train approach
ing, do not take for granted that
it is a freight train; it may be a
fast passengers train, and such
have the habit of creeping onto
you before you know it. The
best way is to stopi look and
listen at railroad crossings-not
just one of the passengers look.
but stop all conversation until
safely over all crossings"
