Due To Somebody's Carelessness
1t is said that a large percent Of
the automobile accidents are due to
carelessness. That many of them
could be averted had the driver only
taken little time and thought. We
wonder IL the person at the steering
wheel realizes the responsibility
that rests upon him for the safety of
his human freight. Such person,
to be trusted, must be able to think
and act quick in an emergency, and
emergencies will arise. Many of US
have paid dearly for the lack of this.
Most all the accidents can be traced
to somebody's thoughtlessness, but
oftener carelessness. What would
you do If you were running along
smoothly, feeling that you had full

Gently, Ray Tilden Zone OF our most
careful autoists, had this experience.
His father, mother and brother
were In the machine when it oc-
Cured. Fortunately they were on
level piece of road and no, serious
results followed. If they had. been
near an embankment, or on a hill,
we can easily picture what might
have happened. We believe that the
man at the wheel has as much re-
sponsibility as the engineer who
holds the throttle of his locomotive.
He has his track on which to run,
while the former must choose his
track-especially on a dirt road,
and often he has only fraction of
second to make his choice. We all
say that the thing to do is to stop.
That's good il we can nksQuick

THE BILLBOARD IS A CRIME :. '

THE BILLBOARD IS A CRIME z
 Whitney Warren (architect)I heard Joseph Pennell last night. He said that in this country peopl have no interest in anything but movies, comics and billboards. The billboard is not only a disgrace and nuisance. It is crime! Our country is 50 descrated by It's filthy vulgarity that the only time . self-respecting citizen may venture out is during the nightfi for fear of being offended by signboards. They are q pest, more offensive to our sight than the vilest stenches of Hunters Point i nthe old days were to our sense of smell or the unearthly noises of the equally vuglar jazz hand to our ears. They are nauseating to put it mildly.

Two Statesmen: Ezra and Nehemiah
 Neh. S:1.3. S-13


 1. And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra, the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Jehovah had commanded to Israel.
 2. And Ezra, the priest, brought the law before the assembly, both | men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
 8. And he read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presense. of the men and the women, and of those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
 8. And they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they under stood the reading.
 g. And Nehemiah. who was the governor, and Ezra, the priest, the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people {: This day is holy unto Jehovah, your God mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
 10. Then he said unto them: Go your way. eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom. nothing Is prepared; for this doy is holy unto our Lord i; neither be ye grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.
 Il. So the Levites stilled all the people, saying: Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
 12. And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink. and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto fhnm

whose name was Geshem, concocted 6 scheme to catch Nehemiah. He sug gested the plan of sending a written message to the great builder inviting him to meet representatives from the neighboring tribes at designated town 20 or 30 miles out of Jerusalem. "It is told among the people," the letter said, "that you are building this city to rebel against the king of Persia. Come now and let us discuss the mat ter of a treaty with you" /
 This charge was a lie. Nehemiah told the authors as much, in diglified and diplomatic language. Said he, ''That the charge in your communica- tion is without foundation in fact, you yourselves well know. I am not inter ested in your conferences. I am not disposed to run away and hide with out some reason for such procedure. I shall. not go"
 The work went on with full speed. So diligently did the. people carry on that in 52 days from breaking ground the walls were completed and the sev- eral gates hung.
 A week later a great dedication serv- ice was, held. When the people were assembled Ezra came carrying the great rolls upon which he copied the exist ing books of the Old Testament.
 Hundreds of those present had never heard the word read before. They wept as they listened to the reading, and re- alized how far short they had come ill it's observance. This meeting at which the law was read and taught and studied was followed by others. Even to this day Ezra's great Cosmo- politan Bible class is spoken of, and emulated. The great constructive serv- ice of these two men was immeasurable. They were statesmen.
 There never was nation, there never lived a man or woman but that has known the need of attending to the walls of defense. And who shall say that the knowledge of, and obedience to the law is not the most important rampant and citadel in either the national or indi- vidual life.
