brought to court with him. One of
the outstanding facts noticed in con-

brought to court with him. One of
the outstanding facts noticed in con-
nection with these cases is the COM
placence and readiness with which
the defendants pay their fines. All
seem to know they are going to be
fined, and they pass over the money
with great cheerfulness and good
grace.
1t SO happened that no one re-
ceived prison sentence on this par
ticular day, but the records of the
court show that the accused are not
always so fortunate.
In 1920 more than 5000 were COM
mitted to. Jail in default Of fines, and,
in addition, 2,340 were locked up
without alternative of fines. That
is, all received prison sentences and
some as high as thirty days.
1t was o'clock before recess was
declared and at 2 the trials were re-
sumed. The rapidity which marked
the proceedings may be judged from
the fact that many cases were dis
posed Of in a minute or less. BY
noon Secretary FRAZIER announced
that $1,000 in fines had been COL
lected, adding that the total would
probably exceed $4,000 for the day.
Some may think that this remark
able celebrity in disposing of the
calendar was due to the presence of
a visitor, but the figures for last
year quickly dispose of the fallacy.
In 1920 the Traffic Court pre-
sided over by Magistrate House
handled 4o,829 arrangements, and
the total of fines collected was
$404,146.
Court Is Speedy, Too
That is to say, this one tiny court
room alone took in much more than
all the other magistrate courts of
the city combined, and the predic-
lions were that in the year lust
started the fines would easily reach
S750,000, which shows what the au-
thorities themselves expect in the
way of an increasing number of
violations of the automobile laws.
AS already explained, each year of
the Traffic Courts existence has wit
messed marked rise in the number

THE WISDOM BOOKS

Instruction of the young by the old was not out of date when 'The Wisdom Books" were written, &C., cording to Dr. Josiah H. Penniman, acting provost of the University of Pennsylvania
 ''The people who wrote the Bible were very human" declared Dr. Pen niman, and he illustrated this with many passages from the Scriptures.
 ''The book of wisdom told the peo- pie what to do, and most of the peo- pie needed it," Dr. Penniman aid There were just as many wise as foolish virgins-and probably the av- craze has been maintained"
 Among MT. Penniman's other say ings were the following:
 "They offered money to Job when they knew he did not need it."
 Be sure your sin will find you out. he quoted. and then added your sins will find you out"
 ''The tongue has always been one of the greatest of mischief makers perer, contention ceases"
 "I need not explain he that wink eth with the eye findeth sorrow.''
 Sob stuff was apparently used ir olden days, for Delilah said to Sam. son, Thou hast told a riddle unto | thy neighbors, but not unto me-" What does he get for it?' wa. asked of Job as it is today of those who get into the public view" Dr. Penniman declared Job was tn. most artistic of the Wisdom Books and in some respects, of all the books of the Bible.-Philadelphi Enquirer

HARD|NG'S Secretary
CHOICE OF PRESIDENT-ELEcT
LAUDED BY MASoNS.

Pride and pleasure at the fact that
George C. Christian, secretary to Pres.
ident-elect Harding, is a Mason and
a knight Templar, were expressed by
Archibald G. Smith, grand commander
of the Grand Commandery of New
Jersey, in an address he delivered to
members of the fraternity at the Ma
sonic Temple in Baltimore. In the
course of the same address, Mr.. Smith
charged that Masonic activities in the
military camps had been impeded by
persons whom he did not name. Some
of his hearers understood him to re-
fer to President Wilson and Secretary
P. ]. Tumulty. @#
Mr.. Smith spoke of 'ttwo men from
New Jersey who are prominent ma
tionally" One, he said, was secreta.
ry to the other, whose mail he reads.
Questioned by a reporter after his ad.
dress as to his references to condi-
tions during the war, Mr.. Smith said
this was common knowledge among
Masons, but he refused to specify what
he meant.

the same injustice is found to ex-
list. II poor man makes little
hootch, Z steals coat, robs a
store of a few dollars, he is brand
ed as a double-dyed criminal and
given the limit or close to it: let a
man of position or wealth commit
a real crime, one that calls for the
full measure of memorable justice,
and the chances are that in some
way or other he will either escape
entirely or be let off with nom
inal punishment small fine, or
a suspended sentence.
Now, it is conditions such as
these that produce the socialist,
the defer of law, the disgruntled
citizen, the hypocrite and, inev-
itably, a lower standard Of NOR
atty and living in general. APP
ply this to family, an institution,
a community large or small, and
you have the cause Of half the
trouble and unrest and inefficiency
and disturbed condition, where
peace and strength and efficiency
and harmony should reign.
Let those representing author
ity play no favorites; let them add
minister the law equally and i'm
partially, without fear or favor,
holding before their eyes the stand
ard of justice and fairness to all,
and human relations would be ele-
waited and purified to an unbe-
hevable extent. But just so long
as authority is made to serve for
the benefit of him who exercises
it, the respect for that authority
is bound to diminish and the cause
which it represents will infallibly
suffer in proportion.

WHY NOT TRY IT HERE?

Reports from France state that
in that country there is very no.
ticeable revival of interest in the
Sacred Liturgy of the Church.
This interest is not merely among
the clergy, who always are in
touch with such matters, but it
seems to have aroused the laity to
the real meaning of the holy
rites of religion. AS result, the
people have taken with avidity to
the practice of using a missal,
printed in the vernacular, by
means of which they follow the
priest during the different parts
Of the Mass.
The Holy Sacrifice is offered by
the priest for the people. They as
sist at the wondrous action. but
often their minds and attention
are distracted in countless direc-
tons. There is lacking, as a rule,
an intelligent union with the
priest at the altar. Many persons
have not the faintest idea Of the
meaning of the various parts of
the great Sacrifice. They SIT,
stand or meel on signal. In the
meantime, while some piously re-
cite the rosary, or read a prayer
book, many others either remain
listless or look about with ill-con-
cealed ennui and boredom.
The prayers of the Mass are of
such beauty, power and strength
that they lift the soul to God al
most involuntarily. The words Of
Scripture, that form consider
able part of the whole ceremony,
awaken a response in the heart
and rivet the attention of the
reader on the Divine. The vari-
GUS orations and special prayers
come down from ancient times, Ia
den with the fragrance and sweet
ness impaired by saint and apos-
| tie.
The custom now in vogue in
France is worthy Of imitation in
this country. 1t will give our
people a better appreciation of the
real, substantial beauties Of their
faith, and it will unite them more
closely to the central object OF our
belief and worship which is Christ
our Lord in the sublime Sacrifice
of it's altar.
