Washington apparently celebrated
the Fourth today by getting out of
town-at least that portion of it's
populace able to command any sort
of transportation.
Trains and electric cars were
crowded to capacity. Decks of the
river boats were crowded. The auto
mobile highways into the green lanes
of Maryland and Virginia were so
filled with cars that gasoline fumes
drowned the scent of honeysuckles.
Those who were Obliged to stay in
the city staged their holiday in their
backyards, on their front porches or
in the parks. Gone was the noise
and furore of yesteryear.
In the city itself ii was the ghost
of an Independence day-a pale,
voiceless, tired shadow stubbornly
frequenting the places where it once
had known such riotous merriment
Last night the moon looked down on
slumbering suburbs and on parks the
silence of which was broken only by
the twittering of the night birds.
Policewomen yawned on their beats.
There We're no bell ringings, no bon
fires, no revolver shots, no Changing
patrol wagons, no drunken fights in
the alleys.
Oiu oUOSt sees New Age.
The people were gone. 1t was
new age. The ghost of independence
day climbed sadly up on the Capitol
dome and looked over the city. He
had been sad scalawag in his day

thinking, quick to anger, a Hogar-

ending his holiday sprawled behind
the tavern, snoring noisily.
About 1O years ago, roughly calcu-

sousing all day dropped to sleep in
the road. Something ran over him
The criminal was a hit-and-run driver

Some say 1t was the New Age speed

the sleepy villages of the time that

old bum.
He was wrapped in a sheet and
buried without much ceremony
He will never disturb the peace of
the neighborhood calling for lust an

The ghost climbed down from the
Capitol dome and sneaked back
through the moonlit mist to his grave
without even bothering to haunt his
son and heir, the New Fourth,
quite different sort of chap from the
old man.

ROANOKE, Va, July 4.-Engineers
of both trains were severely injured
when two Norfolk and Western
freights collided head-on at Hester, a
flag stop, six miles from here, short
ly after s am. today. The injured
men, Mark A. Lucas and T. w. Dal-

suffered scalds.

Did Not Want the Car.

Robert Massie, an automobile sales
man down in Texas, had a hot"
prospect for a sale out driving the
other afternoon. The prospect was
Mexican.
Massie had him about sold until
they stalled on a railroad track atop
grade-crossing, and, before they
could get it going again.. a train came
along and they had to abandon it and
see 1t demolished.
True to life, and tragedy, the gen
tleman from Mexico decided he didn't
want the automobile after the train
had dragged it down the right-of-way
for a few hundred yards.

will not be led in way Of truth. He
that wants the Lord to guide him
must willingly submit himself to the
direction OF God.
Sinful Flesh
"You know what the outcome will
be if a man chooses his own way.
How can sinful flesh see the sin in
it's sinfulness if it is not Influenced
by God? For one to think that the
soul possesses such abilities is an
absurdity
Would that every one could see
like the Psalmist the error of fol
lowing his own wicked inclinations,
then there would be moro that would
yield themselves unto the guiding
influence of God. MAJ, who idolizes
mis- own wisdom, considers the wis.
dom of God foolishness and thinks
that God is trying to influence him
10 make a fool out OF himself, but
the Lord is all-wise, is striving to
guide man into the midst of soul
blessing.
Would you, who are guided by
the influence of God, be willing to
part with this influence at any price?
On the other hand, he who is not
under the influence of God cannot
purchase this influence at any price.
Gods reception into glory Is
something which cannot be bought,
and neither would he who is received
by the Lord into glory part with
this blessing at any price" Rev.
Fackler said.

SPEEDWAY is ALIVE
AS RACE DAY NEARS
Soon Barking Motors Will Be Heard Over Old Brick Track
Few Foreigners This Year.

American 122-inchers caused them to
postpone invasions.
Entries at the Speedway Office are
drifting in slowly, but the list un-
doubtedly will contain the cream OF
American drivers and cars, with "a
smattering of foreigners, by the
time the entries close. At present
it looks very much as if it would
be the old battle between the Mil
lers and Duesenbergs again, with the
three French cars entered by AL
fred Guyot, one Of which he will
drive himself, and Pietro Borodino's
Fiat, as contenders.
WelI-KnOwn Entries
Among the well.known drivers en-
tered now are Bennett Hill, long a
favorite with Indianapolis Speedway
fans; Earl Cooper, who lost first
place to the Inflated, hard-driving
Joe Cooper in last years race; Ralph
De Palma, the most spectacular fig
ure of automobile racing history,
and Harry Hartz, careful, conser-
vative. heady driver. who always is
high up in the money.
Undoubtedly there will be the
usual number of mystery cars and
unknown quantities. One of these
already has been entered by S. S.
Smith OF Syracuse, N. Y. No de-
tails Of the new car are known, but
it is said to be an eight-in-a-row,
similar In general design to the
Duesenbergs and Millers. Anton
Schmidt, who last year entered a
Mercedes. is in Europe at present
looking for another car to enter in
the 1925 event.

SERMON IN AIR

MANY PEOPLE
The Rev. FaCkler Makes Ra-
dio Plea for Right
Values.

Lots of people heard a special SER
mon yesterday without going to

t. c. +. Fackler of st. Matthews
Evangelical Lutheran Church broad
casted Sunday afternoon a sermon
on THAT Which Cannot Be Bought
and With Which a Real Owner Will
Not Part"
THE real sustaining and support
ing power comes from God" he said.
God is the strength Of my heart,
my portion forever, my protection
and my joy. The heart that is filled
with the divine love, the soul in
which the spirit Of God dwells, has
power that will never fail.
There are many that have an
opportunity to enjoy the supporting
power of God, but carelessly disre-
gard it and on account Of this they
are spiritually losing out. But he
that uses the power of God, will be
sustained by the right hand of the
Almighty.
I'VE must not forget that those
whom the Lord loveth He chas-
teneth and though He chastens US
that does not prove that He wants
to cast us off. He will give us
power to support us in all our trials.
Each trial makes it more evident
than before that Gods power sup
port us.
"a Question"
would you as Christion want
to part with the sustaining, COM
forting, consoling power of God? No
real owner wants to be deprived of
it. Those who do not have this
power Of God within them cannot
obtain it with gold or silver. This
power Is only received by those who
will not despire His word and truth.
You cannot buy Gods guiding
influence and neither would those
who enjoy His guiding influence be
deprived Of it.
There are some that support the
church, but that does not mean
that they are buying Gods guiding
influence. People may support the
church and still not submit them
selves to the influence of God. They

Once again the sharp, high-pitched
staccato bark Of the racing motor
will be heard on the Hoosier air.
For the day Of the great annual 500
mile race at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, May 80. is approaching.
In preparation for the big day,
large corps of workmen already is
putting the plant in shape. Grass
is being cut, fences painted, grand
stands dolled up and necessary re.
pairs made However, the track it.
self will be the same old brick road
way, with it's same old bumps and
same old low turns, all of which goes
to make the Indianapolis race the
greatest American motor event,
placing as it does a premium upon
driving ability, so that the race not
always is to the swift, but to the
coolest, cleverest pilot.
Hopes for a foreign invasion,
which ran high during the winter,
are fading fast. Apparently the
French, Italian, English and Ger
man manufacturers have concluded
that with the present 122-inch cubic
inch motor limit in force here they
have little chance with American
built cars.
Different Next Year
But next year probably will be
far different The motor size will be
out of ninety-one inches, a size that
has been in use in Europe for more
than a year. and upon which Eu-
ropean speed car engineers have
concentrated their attention. Ac-
cording to reports at least two for
