Golfers have their differences like
other sportsmen. Up to the present
the question as to the distance Of a
crack drive, off the tee, for example.
remains unsettled. BY dint OF careful
measurement. it is asserted that coo
yards is very good drive. and that
it is only the crack players who can
cover the $50. Two hundred and fifty
yards Is, however, very long dis
lance. and just about twice as far as
even the deftest of us can throw
cricket ball. One hundred and forty
yards is the record distance for
throwing a cricket ball. A competitor
in the Olympic sports has thrown a
javelin just over 211 feet. With a
sling a stone has been thrown more
than 300 yards.

The Washington herald., 1921-12-14

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
1t has been the custom OF years
with the local papers to publish
the annual budget of the District
Commissioners. as presented to
Congress on the first Monday in
December. During the present week
the old custom has been fittingly
perpetuated. The taxpayer Is often
too busy with his preparations for
meeting its burdens to give any
time to the contemplation of it's
blunders. It may be so this year.
Should 1t be. an economic tribute
to incompetency will again be re-
corded and a considerable portion
of the s25,000.000 asked for will be
purposely wasted. Repeated blum
dering is too often permitted to
pass unrebuked because the occa-
sion of it has little of interest for
the average citizen.
This is peculiarly true of the Dis
trict's penal institutions. Every
man hopes to avoid contact with
them, and most men do-even those
appointed to supervise and direct
them. Thus 1t is that the president
of the Board of Charities has not
been within the portals of the jail
for more than three years and yet
he presumes to choose its officers
and dictate to them the manner
of conducting its routine. He has
a secretary who is asking, in the

Spirit Communication.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
I read an article signed by W. b.
Clever IN last Fridays Herald
which was nonsense to me. w. b.
Clever said that "a sad majority OF
those who give their mind over TO
communication with such spirits
die in a madhouse."
dare w. B. Clever TO try 10
prove the above statement.
There are over 10000. 900 Spirit
ualists in America today who are
outside OF the madhouses, which
proves that communicating with
the so-called dead does not drive
anyone crazy
Spiritualists do not rely upon any
OF the many different Bibles 10
prove the Immortality OF the soul.
All Bibles to Spiritualists are So
called history. But we Spirituaiists
know that il is recorded in the
New Testament that Jesus com
municated with Moses and Elias
after Moses and Elias had been dead
many hundreds Of years.
So il communicating with the
dead is sin then Jesus was the
biggest sinner that ever lived. Matt
1Ith chapter; Mark, 9th chapter
Luke. 9Th chapter. are the records
of the fact that Jesus communicated
with the so-called dead.

The Travellers Aid Society of Washington
comes forward with appeal for assistance in
its notable work. work which. especially during
the war, wisely humanitarian as that OF
the American Red Cross and which wakes in
scope in these days of peace.
What the ideals and practices of the society
are, let Arthur c. Moses acting chairman, relate
through the medium of letter to the editor.
He says:
'You, resident OF Washington, must feel
certain responsibility for every human being who
enters the gates of your city
'1f you in the Union Station and saw
a helpless blind alone, you would hurry up
to him to offer your assistance. If you saw a
lonely child come crying from train. you would
put your arms around her, and comfort her, and
try to smooth away her troubles. If you saw
boy whom you recognized runaway, you
would like to get his story and help restore him
to his parents. If you saw an innocent, unsus-
pecting young girl approached by a man whose
evident intention to lead her astray, you
would want to interfere, but you wouldn't know
just what to do
"The Travellers Aid workers do know what
to do. They doing it every day-many times

and many more.
