SubwayS Grow Silent
Millions Crawl to Bed
Wait Till They Awakei
BY NJ. e. Tracy

I write at midnight, with the pop
of f%recrackers practically ended and
the tortured sky permitted to grow
dark in peace.
II seems almost in harmony with
the spirit of the hour that one Of
New York's great subways should
grow silent. even though 1t be
through a strike.
But what are such incidents when
a nation is weary with festival.
Tomorrow millions may grumble,
but for the moment they will be
glad to get home and crawl into bed
any way they can.

Lightning, they say. Eve strikes
twice in the same place.
Probably true but it seems to me
that the literary lightning of Bruce
Barton has struck twice in the sue
cess place.
1t is difficult to follow one real big
success with another.
Barton first became world wide
recognized with THE Man Nobody
Knows" and now he has followed il
with THE Book Nobody Knows"
His first book was concerned with
Jesus and his second book with the
Bible. We have been humanizing
Christ in modern controversy for a
few years. Even college professors
have been tossed from their lecture
stands in recent years for their YER
dict on the Bible.
To really get at this new Barton
book. it is necessary for me to do
some plain talking in order to ex-
plain certain ideas Of mine concern
ing 1t.
In the first place I have always
approached the Bible in search of
certain beauty. 1 have always found
liz, In its basic conception, to have
the best plan Of living eve given
the world.
Years and years ago. I remember
that 1 was taken to the woodshed by
my father and was given to under
stand that I approached certain pas
sages of the Bible with too much
glee. This rather personal encounter
with my father in no way changed
my opinion.
A Confession
And today my father will not be
able to take Bruce Barton to the
woodshed when he reads Barton as
on the part of Solomon we probably
never should have the Proverbs; but
something more than inspired knowl-
| edge went, into them. They bear evil
denbe Of comprehensive experience
with every phase of human nature
and conduct. Some of them, as
might be imagined from Solomon's
own record, contain warnings
against the unrighteous woman.'s
And again: Most of the Proverbs
| could hardly be called religious.
They are the shrewd guideposts to
worldly wisdom. by which a man
may make his way through life
with most profit 10 himself and least
discomfort to other people,"
In speaking of the Song of Songs,
Barton writes: when you see how
diligently certain annotators have
worked to squeeze all the life and
| humanity out of the Bible you won
der how the Book lasted SO long"
Real Thought
I like this Barton book because he
drives home the Bible as human
reading.
Right in the beginning Of sThe
Book Nobody Knows" Barton nails
four great tresaurers to be found in

ALL'S WE'LL THAT

There's a good side to everything, and almost
any old cloud can be found to have a silver lining.
These ancient bromides are >prompted by the
heavy rainstorm that swept over the middle west.
Early newspaper stories described it as some
thing in the nature of a calamity. 1t washed away
bridges, inundated dwellings and did all kinds of
damage.
But now the farmers are referring to it as "the
million-dollar rain" They will get at least a million
dollars more in crops this summer because of the
downpour.
So it wasn't all bad news, after all.

Chamberlain, British foreign secreta-

he told interviewers upon returning tc
London tonight from his Mediterra'

which he had an important conference
with Premier Mussolini at Leghorn.
Sir Austen does not consider Ease
ism suited to Great Britain. He has
the greatest regard and admiration
for Mussolini as man "of great force
character, charm and shrewdness.'
The foreign secretary emphatically
disclaimed that his meeting with Mus
solini was arranged to counterbalance
the conversations at Thoiry between
DIR. Stresemann, German foreign sec
rotary, and Foreign Minister BRAND
of France, and said that he and the
italian premier talked about the Tholry
conference, but only to take pleasure
in continued amelioration of interna-
tional relations"
He described his conversations with
Nussolini as most cordial, saying
they were able to discuss questions
affecting Italy and Great Britain on
which there had been some correspon-
dence.

preached Sunday morning his first
sermon in the First Baptist church
since being elected to this position
so long and faithfully filled by the
Rev. /. B. Mower who felt the need
of rest from so trying work.
Mr.. Pendleton thanked all for the
kind and cordial reception Of the
people OF Waterville to himself and
family and asked that as one loves
a young baby the church would
learn to love him in spite of mis-
takes.
Mr.. Pendleton spoke briefly of his
recent visit to Chicago where the
National convention was held and
that there he learned how hard the
Baptist people had been hit in Mex

churches.
He said we hear much from the
Catholics and protest but really
the Baptist work has suffered even
more than the Catholic in Mexico on
account of the church laws.
The speaker further referred to a

Christ" speaking briefly on this top
ic, and finally giving a strong mes
sage for the audience to carry to

Examinations Will Be Made
Without Charge By Noted
Orthopedic Surgeon-To Adj
wise Patients AS to Treat
ment-Saturday, Oct. 16, the
Date for Clinic
Dr r q Abbott, the well-knowr

DR.. E. G. Abbott, the well-known
orthopedic specialist of Portland,
will be the expert in charge of a
clinic for crippled children which is
to be held in this city on Saturday,
Oct. 16, at the Augusta General hos
pital. The clinic arrangements are
being made by the Augusta Public
Health Association and the clinic is
being held under the auspices of
the Maine Public Health Associa-
ton.
A free examination of crippled
children will be given at this clinic
and a diagnosis of the condition will
be made There will be no treat
mept given but the patient will be
advised concerning the treatment
that is needed. The territory includ-
ed in this clinic is Augusta, Halo
we'll, Winthrop, Readf1eld, Mount
Vernon, Sidney, Windsor and White
field.
The purpose of the clinic Is to
make possible an early diagnosis in
order that treatment may be started
so that children handicapped by
physical deformity may be made
normal as far as possible. This is
the third clinic in Augusta and
aside from furnishing an opportun-
ity for those who have never re-
ceived treatment and are in need
of a follow-up examination.
The clinics which have been held
in the past have cared for 1O4 cases,
in which 40 We're recommended for
surgical treatment and in which -
have had operations and are now in
an improved condition, If not COM
pletely recovered. In more than
half the cases free treatment was
necessarily secured.
The Augusta Rotary Club was
very active in organizing the first
crippled children clinic and has
since contributed generously in pro-
viding transportation for children
whom it has been necessary to take
to the Children's hospital in Port
land or to Boston.
Appointments for clinic examina-
tons should be made before hand.
This will mean a saving of valuab BILE
time in waiting and will assist great
ly in the arrangements for the elm
ic. All arrangements for attendance
should be made with Mrs. Jennie B.
Hyde, the Augusta Public Health
nurse. Mrs. Hyde may be reached
at City hall or by telephoning the
Office. 1850, between $50 and IL A.

Impressive Ceremony, Sun
day Afternoon-Review Eff
forts of Pensioners Result
ing in Edifice Now Building

Speaking to the several hundreds
of parishners and citizens assembled
about the sturdy granite foundations
OF the new st. Mary's Catholic
church being built on Western ave-
nue., just after he had blessed and
laid the cornerstone of the edifice,
Sunday afternoon, Right Reverend
John Gregory Murray, Bishop of
Portland, rendered splendid tribute
to the pastors of st. Mary's and to
the members of the parish through
whose vision, courage and energetic
efforts, the new church Is fast ap-
preaching realization.
Bishop Murray declared 1t particu-
larly fitting that such a beautiful
structure of Maine granite should be
given to the Capital City Of the State
by the parish. He lauded the beau
ties of Augusta and of this section
of the Kennebec valley and declared
that it was eminently pleasing that
the beautiful new church should rise
within easy view of that other archi-
tecturally notable building, the State
Capitol.
The brief remarks by the Bishop
followed the impressive ceremony of
conservation of the place of the altar
and the laying of the appropriately
inscribed corner stone which was
participated in by a representative
gathering of the Catholic clergy OF
New England. as we'll as group of
knights of Columbus of the Fourth
Degree, headed by the Master, Fred
D. Harvey of Portland.
The inscription on the corner
stone recalls one Of the earlies
