SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Prepared especially for The Republi-

SUNDAY. APRIL l.

w
Easter Lesson. Luke "a.
Why seek We the living among the
dead? He is not here, but is ris-
en.-Luke 24:5, 6.
DAYBREAK.
The darkest day the world has ever
known dragged its broken hours
along. God was dead. Loves great
est revealing had been brutally blot
ted by blood. A father struck down
by son, a mother trampled by her
child, defaced and mutilated in body
and soul by the rejection of love,
family pictures what had happened
to Jesus. No wonder there had been
the agony in the Garden! Calvary
was sin at its worst. Night and
day and night once more drew their
blackness over the heart of the world
and some men and some women slept
not nor ate in the agony of their
spirit over what had happened. AS
the stars dimmed, few forms were
creeping silently thru the shadows to-
ward the spot that held the form Of
the Man of their love. Day was at
the dawn. The tomb was empty. That
challenging void has never been met.
thru it shines the light of the new
y for the world in which the dark
SIS of its sin makes more vivid the
umined pathway opened thru that
DOR into the eternal love and life.
The women caught the first CLINT of
day and hurried to tell the story to
the Disciples. Mary Magdalene,
swiftest of them all, had seen only the
opened tomb and had raced to tell
Peter and John, returning as rapidly
as she went. In the garden with tear
filled eyes, caring only for the loved
body, she accosted a man who might
tell where she could pit her frailty
against the weight of it and carry
it to safer resting place. But the
old name, MARY" with which Jesus
proclaimed the immortality of affec-
ton, carried her to His feet in an &C.
stacy of joy. The women received
the earliest notice Of His return to
life and spread the story wherever
they went. Sometime later Peter had
a wondrOus interview too sacred to
have it's details given to the world but
in which the penitent sorrow met its
forgiving Lord and began a new life.
AS the day sped its swift way upon
hours that no longer limped, two trav-
elers found Him in their company and
knew that life had met death and had
conquered. In that upper room of
memories with only Thomas missing

BOOT[EGGERS
CHARGE
COPS
Policemen Baked in Search
For Liquor When Driver
"Steps on Gas"

Three policemen OF the Ninth
precinct narrowly escaped death
beneath the wheels of a speeding
bootleggers' car at First and N
streets northeast at 1880 this
morning. Three shots were fired
by the policemen in a vain effort
to puncture tires on the car and
force the driver to bring it to a
stop.
Sought Load Of Liquor.
Policemen F. J. Schoville, r. F.
Langdon and j. T. Stanton were on
their way to First and M streets
northeast, where, they had been in
formed, a load of liquor was being
transferred from one car to an
other. On First street, near NJ, they
saw large touring car which bore
all the indications Of being liquor
laden.
The driver OF the car spotted the
trio Of cocps and he hastily drove
towards them. Standing In a line
across the street the policemen
formed a blockade through which
the driver would have to pass.
With their pistols drawn, the cops
shouted to the two men occupants
Of the car to stop. Instead, the
driver stepped on the gas and drove
straight at Stanton. The latter
leaped to safety as the huge car
bore down on him. Bent low over
the wheel, the driver sped past the
officers and made good his escape.
Fires Two Shots.
Policeman Stanton fired two shots
at the rear of the car, and Police
man Langdon fired once. Both
are of the opinion that their bullets
at least took effect in the back of
the machine, but the driver paid
no heed.
Many calls were received by the
police from residents of the neigh
borhood who heard the shooting.
Police believe they have a clew
to the identity Of the owner of the
car and his arrest IL expected on
a charge of violating the traffic
laws. Because the lights on the
car were put out when the car
was half block away from the
officers, they could not get it's
license number. Search is being
made for a Studebaker touring car.

A LOT OF FELLOWS
WILL TRY THIS RECIPE

Dear Bill: I have been often ask
ed how may q fellow tell II the girl
he is interested in has never been
before kIseed9 My experience along
this line Is, that ifv you kiss q girl
and she loses her capacity to blush
thon yOu may rest assured she has
been kissed before you kissed her.
And she fOrfelts about 90 per cent Of
the charm that belongs to her sex.
r. b. ACOSTA.
We do not subscribe to all that
Acosta says. Many a good girl
may kiss a fellow she believes
means we'll and honorably to-
ward her. Afterward they dis
agree, without fault on her part,
and she must start the blushing
over when another guy begins
paying her attention.
We don't believe any girl
should kiss a man until she is
engaged to him, but we admit
this would be awful hard on the
girls who never reach the stage
Of engagement.
Anyhow if any of you girls
have lost the power, or art, of
blushing furiously you had bet
ter start in learning, because
your fellows are going to be
watching you after this.

Help Courts.

Establishment Of clinic where
men, women and children who
have been arrested can be exam
ined as to their physical and men,

day by DR.. William c.. Fowler,
District Health Officer.
Aid to Courts, He Says.
such a clinic, / think, would
be an invaluable aid especially to
the courts" DIR. Fowler says.
There are many persons sentenced
to penal institutions who should
instead be sent to hospital for
treatment"
DR.. Fowler said that judges who
were in doubt as to a persons
mental condition could send them
to the clinic to be examined by
specialists.
The Health Officer estimated to.
day that an initial appropriation
Of $4,000 would be needed to open
the clinic. He said that the clinic
plan was generally indorsed In
Washington.
DR.. Fowler is expected to put his
pau OCAOIO WG4IAIS OF"
CARNATIONS, including the Board Of
Children's Guardians.
Valuable for Children.
"A clinic would be especially yaIu-
able to children" he said. Every
child admitted to an institution in
Washington could be given q
thorough examination as to its
mental and physical condition. The
results could be used to determine
child"
DIR. Fowler's plan calls for
specialists and general practitioners
in attendance at the clinic.
II hope to be able to get money
this year to open the clinic next
year." the Health Officer said.
