was the subject of the Lesson Sermon
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, October a. The Golden Text
was from jeremiah 17:14; "IIeal me
0 Lord, and | shall be healed, save
me and | shall be saved: for thou art
my praise" Among the citations
which comprised the Lesson Sermon
was the following from the Bible:
"And God saw every thing that he
had made, and behold it was very
good, and the evening and the morn
ing were the sixth day" Genesis
1:3D. The Lesson-Sermon also IN
cIuded the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Sin, sickness, and death have no rec
ord in the Elohistic introduction Of
Genesis, in which God creates the
heavens, earth, and man. Until that
which contradicts the truth of being
enters the arena, evil has no history,
and evil is brought into view only as
the unreal in contradistinction to the
real and eternal" Up. 538).

marvelled then at stories of Bucks

the Pere Marquette Railroad alone
handles from six to eight full train
loads of Buick cars every day, besides

HOW LONG SHOULD CHAMPS LAST?

What is or should be the life of championship club in the ma jor leagues? Some experts have figured that winning team whose players are iii their baseball prime, should be good for championship or near cham pionship ball for at least five years.
 Their deductions have been borne out fairly we'll by the great teams in the two major leagues in recent years. The great Chicago Cub machine managed by Frank Chance, withstood the wear and tear of six hard campaigns, win ming four pennants and finishing second in 1909 and 1911.
 Connie Mack's famous cham pions, who came to the front near ly two decades ago, won four pen nants in six years, finishing sec ond in 1909, the first year of their ascendency, and slipping to third place in a temporary falter in 1912. That team might have gone on to win more pennants had it not been for the way in which Mack scattered his players after their humiliating defeat by the Boston Braves in their worlds ser ies of 1914.

A BASEBALL
 PRESIDENTIAL RACE

While the Smith-Hcover con- test is the principal presidential race of the year there is another going on in major league base ball and has been in progress go years. It is for the marathon record as president of a major league club, the principals being Charles A. Comiskey of the Chi cago White Sox and Barney Drey- fuss of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Comiskey is the only one of the original American League presi- dents who "crashed the gates" of the major league baseball in 1900 still at his post. In the same year Drcyfuss became head of the Pirates. Thus, these two veteran executives will have completed 20 years at the head of their respec- tive clubs this season, one year more than the late Charles H. Eb- bets served the Brooklyn club. He

BABE CHOOSES TO
 WIN GAMES
 Babe Ruth is reported to be con- centrating his efforts to making hits that will win ball games rather than trying to establish a new home-run record. In other words, he is eadeavoring to SUD- plant his take-a- chance and slug method of batting with sclentif- ie one. The big fellow has con- cluded that it will be more to his economical and financial advan- tage to get into the worlds series than to make a new mark of round the circuit hits. Most ball players would feel the same way in a similar situation, for all re- gard it as one of the best strokes of good luck to get into the post season games. Some star play CTS have gone through their en- tire careers without experiencing that thrill-Lajoie, Hal Chase and George Sisler-for examples. while others get it their first season. One of the luckiest of the latter class was Joe Sewell of Cleveland. He joined the Indians in August, 1920, after the untimely death of Ray Chapman, and then by special permission, was permitted to play in the worlds series.

Mr.. CLARK presented a petition from

for the expenses incurred by him in
erecting pump on H street south. The
petition was referred TO the commit
tee on claims for report and recon-
mendation.
From the committee on improve

resolution authorizing the remunera-
ton of certain police officers for serv-
ices and efforts to repress the disturb
ance of the peace in the City OF WASH

Saturday, December %.

With the moon entering Taurus, an
unusually good planetary condition
will prevail tomorrow, according to
astrology
The aspects are most auspicious for
shopping and should bring much profit
to merchants, especially to jewelers. and
importers of fine apparel.
The sway is especially beneficial for
material interests and it Is we'll to de-
vote attention to objective rather than
subjective ideas.
The sway is particularly fortunate
for the young and may bring with it
regrets for their elders. 1t is we'll for
the aged not to look backward.
1t is wise to be especially cautious
when driving in traffic under this di-
rection of the stars, which is supposed
to cause haste and nervousness.
This is not propitious rule for sign
ing contracts or agreements for the
coming years as there may be an in
clination toward ill-considered decisions.
Actresses should make careful plans
for the new year, which is to bring
about startling changes, especially for
foreigners and for screen favorites.
There is a threatening sign for GER
tain workers who will meet in the world
of industry new conditions as startling
as those that will disturb artists who
depend on drama for stage or screen.
Inasmuch as the young are to occupy
attention In various important activities,
they must beware of hasty marriages If

There was lively discussion of the
pending fire bill. Mr.. Riggs said he
had always held it as principle that
firemen who risked their lives for the
safety Of public property should have
a say In the election of their chief. He
sought to embody this principle in the
bill, declaring that it was not right
to conf1ne the appointment of the head
Of the Fire Department to the city
mayor. Mr.. Riggs motion was lost on
tie vote of to 6.
After further debate the fire bill was
referred to the committee on the Fire
Department for report.
The board considered several bills
for the improvements of streets and
alleys in the city. Among the meas
ures approved was one making an ap-
preparation to clean the cutters and
alleys of the fourth ward. This measure
has already been approved by the lower
branch Of the city council.
