WHAT'S A CHICKEN FEED
WHEN FIRES ARE ABOUT

COLUMBUS, Ind,.s April 1.-THE
hale and hearty fire laddies Of Com
pany 1, Columbus fire department,
were all set TO plunge into the bust
ness of concealing a chicken dinner
served by the ladies' OF the United
Brethren Church, when darn it,
the fire alarm changed. The call
of duty being more clamorous than
the demands OF the inner man, they
reluctantly tore themselves away
from the tables and battled half an
hour with the unreasonable blaze.
Then they returned 10 their meal.
The chicken had scarcely been
passed all the way around when the
alarm sounded again. calling them
back to extinguish the same fire,
which had broken out again. Making
sure that every member had heen
blackened, Company No. / went TO
the dining table a third time-but
not TO eat.
During their absence a cat had
made himself "at home" and had
consumed the fowl.

BUS PRESIDENT
Of WV. CARL|NE
DENIES CHARGE
Hearing on Petition to Remove
Stand Scheduled for
May 19.

Denying that patrons OF the Alex.
andria Bus Lines use the waiting
room and other facilities provided
for patrons of the Washington.
Virginia Railway Company, Joseph
Morrow. president OF the bus com
pany, today answered the petition
of the railway company. filed with
the Public Utilities Commission.
asking that bus line stands be re.
moved from the vicinity OF Twelfth
and ID streets northwest.
President Morrow further denies
that the bus line stands make the
streets in that section dangerous TOR
vehicular traffic and that the stands
constitute unfair competition.
There is no reason to believe,
and this company does not believe.
that the patrons of the bus com.
pany wait In the station of the
Virginia Railway Com
pany for the arrival OF busses,"
Morrow's answer said.
THE present stand Is occupied
at the direction, and with the per
mission, of the Commission. II was
first selected as being convenient
for it's patrons and suitable because
of the fact that the route over
which the busses travel was selected
by the police department, II believes.
on account of the traffic conditions.
and because II is a convenient stop
ping place for those passengers
coming into and leaving the District
from the bus lines.
These lines are firmly estab-
lished and are weli-known TO users
of the busses.
THE route from which the busses
come into Washington and leave
Washington in going TO and from
the stands are safe and convenient
and are not very much travelled,
and there is no reason why the
stand should be moved"
The petition OF the Washington
Virginia Railway Company and the
bus company's answer viii be con-
sidered at a public hearing by the
Public Utilities Commission In tho
District building on May 10.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Jesus
Christ is the first that ever claimed
to have arisen from the dead. The
fact of His resurrection places Him
an infinite distance from all other
religionists of the world. II He did
not rise we have no hope, no faith
in salvation.
The supreme need of the teaching
of this hour of Easter is that IL
shall return TO a resurrection gospel.
The world Is tired of materialism.
The hope of Immortality il the main
spring of life.
Need For Present.
What we need as individuals is a
resurrection from our dead past; a
resurrection from our failures. our
reverses, our hates-to the new and
victorious life.
We need a resurrection of home
life. Our homes are buried In the
grayeyards of commercialism, pleas
ures, dissipation and abuse.
OhiCcr NItlC bC o Ht" hOitlN lAl0t
or rather a return to the old home
life, there will be no resurrection of
our national life.
The nation is dead, dead to a sense
Of a personal God. dead to it's obji-
cation to the oppressed, dead to It's
obligation to the nations of the earth.
Our statesmen and also our minis
ters, yea, II is the duty OF one and
all to bring about the resurrection of
our national life-a new epoch.
Church Reform Urged.
Most OF all. we need resurrection
of our church life. The church Is
bound, hand and foot. in the tomb
of Journalism, ecclesiasticism, tradi.
tion, and commercialism.
The church needs to hear again
the voice OF the prophet, saying,
