CHRISTIAN LIFE ONE
OF 10y AND CHEER
Smiling Parson" Bayless Says
Being Good Does Not Mean
Gloomy Life.

"The birthplace OF your ideas is no
place for hair to grow" said Smiling
Parson" Baylcss, pastor of Northmin-
lister Presbyterian church, Baltimore, in
a lecture yesterday afternoon to the
young men and boys of the city In the
Queen Theatre. The meeting was held
under the auspices of the y. Nj. G. A.
Mayor Harvey presided.
4 sacred concert by the Baltimore K
Ohio Railroad Glce Club, of Baltimore,
was feature of the program. Frederick
Stanley Smith, of this city, gave an
organ recital.
Smiling Parson" Bayless, in adj
dressing the boys, declared that a
Christian life does not mean life oil
gloom and depression, as some people
think, but life of Joy and cheer. he
pointed out the numerous times In the
Bible when Christ says, "Be of good
cheer, let not your hearts be troubled"
He endeavored TO show that the only
life of real happiness was the Christian
life. The boys were informed that il
would be much easierito make choice
for Christian life now while they ar,
Young than to wait until they become
older and more hardened.
The lecture by Smiling Parson
Bayless, was in the nature OF Ia heart-to
heart talk. His introduction was in
tersperscd with much humor and quickly
won the hearty approval Of the larg'
gathering of young men and boys
Among other things he told the boy
was that he did not believe anyone coult
be a really true patriot without frs
being true with God.

Edwin g. Huber, Accountant"
Brief Discussion.

During a discussion that followed
the reading OF the reports II was
stated that some roads laid out in
Brandywlne hundred By land syndi-
Gates, but not taken over by tho
county. have been cindered by tho
Levy Court. and II vas argued that
the court had no more right - i'm
prove these roads than private lanes.
a Gordon Heights road that cost
$4,000 was criticised. the critics say
ing much OF the surface had washed
of and some OF It had ruined a gar
den.
Mr.. Perkins alleged ertrava gsncs
in the delivery Of the stone.
Frank Cox suggested that the Levy
Court adopt modern and efficient
system Of bookkeeping.
Messrs. Orr and Tailey declared
politics did not prompt the investi-
cation.
Accountant Huber remarked that
he was not competent 10 gay whether
there had been extravaganza on road
work. He said the attorney general,

Urer and the county comptroller had

NO CHANGE PROBABLE
IN BUS RESOLUTION
Will be Ruled OFF Market Street
for Any Purpose, It Is
Understood.

While it was developed Saturday that
there will, in all probability, he few
minor changes made in the resolution
now pending before the Street and Sewer
Department regulating the buses opera
ating on the streets OF the city, there will
be no alterations to the essential pro-
visions Of the net and It will be adopted
by the board practically as originally
introduced The directors have not had
a meeting to consider the subject noe
last Tuesday but there have been several
conferences and City Solicitor Satterth-
waite has been consulted for has opinion
regarding some OF the clauses in the
resolution.
Merchants and bus men especially,
are more keenly interested in the
ability OF the buses to use Market
street but the resolution prohibits this
and it is understood that there will he no
change whatever in this section so that
no matter what other changes are made
the buses viii Ike forbidden to traverse
the citys main thoroughiarc even to
pick up and discharge passengers. They
arc now permitted to do this under the
traffic rules but these rules, it was stated,
will be changed to prohibit it and to
make them conform TO the bus resolution.
The use of other streets on which trolley
cars operate will be governed by permits
from the board.
One change probably will he the pro-
vision requiring the buses to carry m
surance against accident instead o, the
indemnity bonds now asked for. The
board probably also will change the
section requiring five gallon extin-
guisher and make it read adequate fire
protection. With one OF two other small
changes the resolution in all probability
viii stand rs drawn. Whether it will be
adopted at the meeting of the. Street
and Sewer Department next Tuesday is
very doutt tyl

amount OF sf,2S3.20 was entirely
overlooked by the county controllers
office and the county treasurer's bal
ancc as Of December 81. 1920. accepted
and arbitrarily entered In the con
troller's record
This while apparently indicating
.carelessness in the controllers office,
did not involve any discrepancy or ir-
regularity in the county treasurer's
record.
"In conclusion; according 70 my
understa ndIng which you later con-
firmed. the taxpayers committee de-
sired my opinion on the methods and
records used by the Levy Court
through the county engineer, for the
purpose Of ascertaining the actual
cost Of work done on roads.
"In this connection ! would state
that no method Is provided for. ac-
cording TO my observation. whereby
the Levy Court or their engineer car
be reasonably certain that the ex-
penses, l. @. labor and material re-
ported for any job. are according 70 the
actual usage on that job. They rely
almost entirely on the integrity and
carefulness of the road supervisor
/ No Implication IS intended here, apply
/ ing TO the road supervisor or anyone
else for that matter. The fault Is
simply that there is a lack Of moderr
business methods employed in the ac
counting Of costs for road work
which, il employed, would no doub
be Of great assistance to the proper
officials towards effecting economics
in the cost OF future road building.

Two to three children are born to

American parents. MIR. Knapp said,
and one-third OF the entire population
is foreign-born or of foreign-born

1.-THE item OF s44.9si2o. appearing
money paid out for work done In con-
ncctlon with dirt roads from July !,
1920, until Juno 80, 1921. This does
not represent, however, the total cost
OF such work done for the same period
This is explained by the fact that pay
ments were made after July /. 1921, to
the extent OF $1O.933,62, for work done
during the previous fiscal year, the
apparent reason In part for this be-
ing due to lack OF sufficient funds UNI
I'll further receipt OF taxes was made.
Therefore the total cost OF work on
