Social Workers Unwelcome?
A Womnn's Reply TO Mr.. Keyser's
Kindly Meant Suggestion.

To THE New YORK HERALD: was
much interested in the letter of Mr..
Keyser suggesting that a social service
worker visit the homes of employees OF
concerns which employ a large number
of men,
1t has been tried and It has failed mis-
erably. for the reason that women resent
person coming into their homes and
giving them directions about running
their houses.
Henry Ford tried II in Detroit and
the people visited tolerated the social
worker only because they were afraid
their men would lose their jobs II they
did not. l can see such person en-
tering my house and asking me a, lot
Of personal questions that were none of
her business, as to how much paid for
this. that and the other thing: whether
/ was extravagant In my manner Of
dressing the children. &c.
Mr.. Keyser's idea is lovely in theory,
but II Is not practical at ALL Ninety
nine women out OF a hundred would
resent II. and the man. OF course. would
take the point of view his wife pre-
sented to him, and the last state OF the
relations between the employer and en-
pioyee would be strained. a man does
not want his boss interfering In his
personal affairs. WIFE AND MOTHER.

Phrases Commonly Used in COrre-

To THE New York HERALD: While
the class in clumsy English is in session
let us glance at a few examples of busi-

Photoplays for Churches.

1t is probable that the plan of those
who are promoting the manufacture
of moving pictures OF religious
character is only to produce in their
own way the so-called feature pic
ture. Already there exist companies
turning out educational pictures with
out end. Evidently it is~felt that
there is a need of photoplays which
will meet the ideals of churches. 1t
may be inferred that it is with the
regulation of the amount of sex in
terest in pictures that these producers
are chiefly concerned. Yet there is
less sex appear in the usual cinema
to-day than in the best or even the
second best seller among novels.
Already have the censors put fear
into the hearts of the producers.
What the character Of the religious
film stories will be has not been an
nounced. Biblical history has al
ready figured prominently In this
form of amusement. Especially from
Italy have come elaborate pictures
based on Scriptural themes They
resembled in degree plays such as
"Ben-Hur" and THE Sign Of the
Cross" "Quo Vadis" and "The Shep-
herd King" have enjoyed widespread
popularity in this country with their
fine spectacles and their religious
element.
Since there is an intimation that
many of the films produced by the
religious company are to be used
in churches and are indeed intended
as a sort of extension course in the
services of the parishes that exhibit
them it will be necessary for them
to comply with requirements never
imposed on the photoplay. The usual
moving picture has hitherto been a
work of fiction. There are enough
other moving pictures Of an educa-
tional character to make program
for public entertainments of a secu-
lar or spiritual nature. The relig-
ious feature picture telling fable
of every day life will be new.

Well Bred Horses Not Gun Shy.

Those familiar with the behavior Of
high mettled horses under gunfire
will learn with interest of the threat
made by owners of trotters to ship
their horses away from the State Fair
at Syracuse this week unless the can
show was suppressed. Cavalry off,
GERS know that well bred horses pay
no attention to the noise of gunfire
after the first shock. Thoroughbred
chargers do not break into a perspi-
ration and show other signs of nerv-
BUSINESS before going into battle.
New Workers had a good chance to
discover this fact under conditions
much the same as those at Syracuse.
The year after the close of the Boer
war number Of South African
officers were engaged to tour the
world giving a reproduction OF camp
life and military tactics. The show
included realistic battle with sew
eral hundred horsemen and more
than thousand infantry engaged. II
was staged here on property next
the Brighton Beach racetrack, and
II opened the day before the sum-
mer period Of racing began.
Sysonby, one OF the best horses
this country has ever known and the
pride OF the stable OF JAMES r. KEENE,
then at the height Of his fame as
breeder and turfman, had valu-
able stake enga gements at Brighton
Beach. Mr.. KEENE called on the
Brighton management to sue for a
writ OF injunction restraining the
gunhre--cannon as well as light
arms were mployed-during the
period OF racing. This the manage
ment refused to do and the assertion
was made that after the first round
OF firing the horses would pay no at
tention TO IL.
An arrangement was made with the
managers OF the show to have no
gunfire while the horses we're at the
starting point, and 1t Is a matter OF
record that the horses raced for more
than twenty days without an acct
dent or any outward evidence that
they we're affected by the noise Of the
guns on the other side of the high
board fence. More than 200 of them
were stabbed at the beach and en-
dured the noise afternoon and night.
Many sportsmen use thoroughbreds
when bird hunting. They shoot from
the horses with impunity. The
late Major DAISeERrIELD used to sum

The Garden Of the World.

went into the world
When the dawn was new
The Garden of the World
And up and down the rows.
Where the trillium and the heartsease
And the Tree of Life grew.
I wandered and l gathered
Whatsoe'er my being chose.
Slant the yellow rays of sunlight
Turned the flowers all to gold
But the trillium and the heartssasa
Were mere carpets to my feet,
For the Tree of Life was bending
With the weight 1t scarce could fnld.
Wealth of worldly tastes and pleasures.
Fruit of toil--and must eat.
In and out among the branches
And the green leaves overhead,
Swift my eager fingers fumbled.
All too anxious to commence.
Now the Tree of Life is withered
And the dawn is dead,
And sit and sort my basket
Full of ripe experience.
Sweet and bitter, sweet and bitter,
Taste of pleasure. taste of pain.
All are counted. all are sorted;
Now lay my gifts away.
If went into the Garden
Would gather these again?
Or the trffiium and the heartsease
That were blooming there one day?

Football Returns.

Summer and some few straw hats
linger and our baseball teams still
are in the thick of their battles for
laurels and lucre. But over the Hud-
son hangs that peculiar haze which
is the unmistakable harbinger Of the
fall and our suburbs are redolent
with burning leaves. In sequestered
camps, far from prying eyes of "hated
rivals" on hundred campuses,
young men are having the time of
their lives at game which by No
vember will bring out once more loud
plants about professionalism and
overemphasis of the stadium idea.
Football Is here again.
1t is an interesting study to note
from year to year the varying styles
in preseason announcements from
the colleges. These change as do the
fashions for women and the length
of the freshman's trousers. This
year there is a strong note of pessi-
mism, in some cases verging on de-
spondency. Last season saw foot
ball reach an unusual height at
most of the institutions throughout
the country and this fall finds many
luminaries gone to milder pursuits.
The new material seems to be alto
gether verdant-the outlook appears
to be dark. The great Joe Blotz has
flunked out, Bill Smith has quit the
gridiron to open a haberdasher's
shop. the matchless Pat Kelly
sprained leg playing amateur base
ball for hotel during the summer
and is not available. Nothing but
darkness!
However, by November the note of
pessimism will give way to one Of
reckless prediction and rosy hopes.
The green substitute turns out IAN

moving. Great players go. but play
ers greater still take their places. A

Football is back, and for thousands

that the sport pages hold out keener

To THE New York HERALD: The Joy
Gus, apparently care free Billy Nipple

years ago rode on the front seat with

men or those who hoped to attain three
score years and ten. He neither smoked
nor drank. never hunted trouble, and
when he shot 1t was only to protect the
property of the company.

for Billy, for 1t brings back to my men,

hand on demand, but stopping-io cock

that 1t turned out badly for them. The
careers of the road agents ended then

The only time ever saw Billy lose
his nerve was aboard ship on the way

PORTLAND, Ore. Sept. is (Associatco
Deputies at the convention Of the Protes-
tAnt Episcopal Church, revealed to-day
in expressions by it's members, showed
strong opposition to concurrence in the
action of the House of Bishops yester-
day In voting for a change in the di-
vorce canon OF the church.
The bishops amendment provides In
effect that no member OF the church
shall marry divorced person other than
the innocent party in a divorce for infi-
deity.
Prominent members of the New York
delegation expressed opposition to any
change in the divorce canon. The amend
ment passed by the House of Bishops
was proposed by Bishop Charles II.
Brent of western New York.
Stephen S. Baker, prominent lay MEM
ber OF the New York delegation. said
he was opposed to any changes in the
canon.
The Rev. Dr. Ernest NJ Stires of New
York was emphatic in opposing the
change while / believe in the most
rigid attitude of the church toward up
holding the IDEAL" he said, Il am
strongly opposed 10 any disciplinary ac-
tion of the church against those who
conscientiously feel that 1t is right for
them to remarry under conditions whore
the church cannot and should not Of
ficiate.
George Zabrsl<ie, chancellor or the
Diocese OF New York, said the proposed
amendment would make the canon in
consistent.
The Rev. Dr. f. S. White of Cleve-
land and the Rev. DR.. L. Coley of Phila-
delphia opposed the change.
The Rev DR., John III. Hopkins OF
Chicago, favoring the change. said he
was in favor OF increasing the strict
ness of the marriage laws. declaring
there was altogether too much laxity.
The House of Deputies was advised
to-day of the action of the bishops on

sage to the committee on canons.
