"Soul' was the subject of the

enlist Golden Text: Rejoice the
soul of thy servant: for unto thee,
o Lord, do / lift up my SOUL
(Psalms 86:4). Among the cita-

Sermon was the following from
the Bible: Incline your ear, and
come unto me: hear and your soul
shall live: and 1 will make an
everlasting covenant with you,
even the sure mercies of David"
Isaiah 55:3)- The Lesson-Ser-

passages from the Christian Sci

Mary Baker Eddy: Life is the law
of Soul, even the law of the spirit
of Truth, and Soul is never with
out its representative. Mans in

disappear in Inconsistencies than
can Soul, for both are immortal.
The belief that existence is
contingent on matter must be met

So ARE KILLED ON HIGHWAY
Increase of 80 Per Cent Compared
With the Same Time Last Year


With the Same Time Last Year
With an increase of 100 per cent
in the number Of pedestrians killed
on state highways and an increase
of 30 per cent in the total number
of fatalities for the first seven
months of this year the same per-
iod last year, the death toll due to
motor accidents continues to grow
higher as the year proceeds. The
pedestrian deaths is due largely to
those who stand on the concrete
and beg for rides. According to
the report of the State Highway
police for the first seven months
there have been 80 fatalities as
compared with 81 in 1923. OF these
16 were pedestrians, just half the
total. Of the other fatalities 13
were from accidents while driving
cars, the same number as last year
and 3 were at railroad crossings.
The total number of accidents in
creased from 276 last year to 451
this year for the first seven
months. The number of persons
injured increased from 253 to 315.
The damages sustained advanced
from S66,451 to $50, 3,276- The pers-
ons slightly injured advanced from
1T to 236. The number of pedes-
trians injured was almost double
this year, the total being So as
against "a last year. The greatest
number of accidents happened in
dry weather with 358 mishaps as
against 273. There were 282 on
straight roads, 126 at intersections
II at railroad crossings, s at street
crossings and "a at curves. This
is an increase except at street
crossings. Recklessness heads the
list with SO mishaps, inattention

ber involved in accidents. There
were 622 cars in mishaps this year
as compared with 482 last year.
The truck drivers apparently are
profiting by the manner in which
the State Police have ben watch
ing them, because this year the to-
tai of mishaps among trucks was
but 118 which is just 8 more than
last year. The accidents in which
buses were concerned advanced
from A to 10, motorcycles from 4

their doubts about Santa Claus entirely
dispelled last night when they sat down
elbow-to-elbow, with some of Wash

fcssional men at a Christmas dinner
featuring turkey and all the trimmings.
The boys not only were rendered a
tempting repaSt such as they never had
seen before, but were given warm

The party was staged by members of
the Us Mems Club, an organization
composed of members of the Y. M. C. A.
The dinner and entertainment took place
in the boys building of the Y M. C. A.
at 1892 G street. When the dishes
were cleared away Edwin Callow gave
some limitations of his old friend, Tory,
the Barber, and then the youngsters
were turned loose in the boys play
rooms and allowed to romp to their
hearts content.
It was a great party, and the boys
turned from it reluctantly to face the
Jess inviting conditions from which they
mad come in various parts of the city.
The lads were invited after a personal
investigation of their needs by members
III the club. The dinner was arranged
sander the direction of Harry j. Miller,

UPSTATE DAIRYMEN TO UNITE
Are About to Band Together and Or
ganize a Cow Testing Association
More and Better Milk is Slogan

A COW testing association in the near
future among the dairymen in New
Castle County seems a probability, ac
cording to statements made recently
by County Agent, E. Willim, Jr., of
Newark. More and for farmers and
dairymen have voiced their approval
of such an organization when ques-
toned by the County Agent about the
advisability of trying to organize one
in the county. "All of the dairy cat
tie owners approached have been quite
enthusiastic over the possibility of
starting the association" continued
Mr.. Willim "They evidently see the
need of such work and are asking that
such an association be started to help
them in their dairy problems. As
ordinarily conducted in this country,
a COW testing association is an organ
ization of about 26 dairy farmers who
comparatively employ a tester to keep
production feed and income records of
their cows. Knowing the actual rec
ords of his cows, the dairyman can
with certainty eliminate those that are
QupEOuLdDIG, dIIu l6Su IIlC ICllle14llNiCA
according to known production. The
most useful COW testing association
also compares the records of dams and
daughters, promotes the ownership of
better sire, encourages the use of
proven sires, and shows the advantage
of feeding satisfactory rations. In
such an association the milk is ordin-
arily weighed and tested one day each
month by the tester and the monthly
production is determined by multiply
ing the daily production by the num-
Der of days in the month or testing
period. After community or county
has become convinced of the need OF
having a cow testing association, the
next step is to organize. A meeting
will be called and a temporary organ
ization effected After 26 dairyman
in New Castle County have agreed to
become members another meeting will
be called and a permanent organiza-
ton formed. At this meeting officers
will be elected and a constitution and
bylaws adopted. Mr.. Ed Willim, who
married Miss Christine Kirby of
Smyrna, is County Agent of New
Castle County and is cooperating with
upstate farmers in every way to pro
mote efficiency and useful service.
