Doubt Whether His Prayers Were
Really Acceptable.

Gould said:
These winter passages are un
pleasant, but they're never dangerous.
"One bleak December day ! was sit
ting. wrapped up in furs and rugs. in
a sheltered corner of the promenade
deck of a Cunarder. The seas were
mountains high. The good old boat
seemed to stand on her head one min
ute, and the next she reared right w
on her hind legs.
"A tiny tot of a boy made his way
cautiously to the young and pretty
matrOn seated mex me. He steadied
himself against her deck chair and
said:
Mamma. is 1t wrong to pray that
we get home safer
".Of course not. darling
"'Well.' he went on. I've been
kHTeeling on a locker trying to pray
thai we arrive safe in port. and each
time l begin the ship heaves up and
throws me on the deck"
Thinking abundance will open ur
the mind and set the thought currents
toward increased supply.

SUB SUGGESTION.

LONDON. Dec. 24.-By The Asso-
ciated Pressl-Presentation to the
Washington conference of Great Bri
tain's plea for abolition OF the sub.
marine as a naval weapon has aroused
the greatest interest here. The news
papers comment at length upon the
speech OF Lord Leo OF Farehnm. first
lord OF tho British admiralty, before
tho conference on Thursday. in which
o made the proposal and outlined the
reasons prompting it.
General opinion hero undoubtedly
favors abolition. and there are many
regrets that there seems 10 be no
prospect Of its being brought about.
but on the other hand there is some
skepticism regarding the possibility
OF preventing the use of submersibles
even IL the conference adopted Lord
Lees proposal.
The Morning Post argues that the
developments at Washington point to
the necessity of Great Britain main
taining an adequate force of cruisers
and small craft for the protection Of
her m against submarines.
The Daily Mail declares that the
