so arranged as to afford diversified routes so as to enable the mothers to. view the points of interest, in- cluding the battlefields.
 Tt is upon arriving at the ceme- teries where one realizes, if he has not done so before, the reality of this pilgrimage. It Is a solemn and touching scene. Each mother, with her pride and adoration centered in the one she loved, in viewing the beauty and peacefulness of the ground where every human effort has been made to have them typify sentiment and reverence in the full est measure, can but feel assured that all who lie therin are and al- ways will be included in the nat tion's tender and protecting care. After the visit to the cemeteries is concluded, the mothers are con- ducted back to Paris and there, during a visit of about five days, have an opportunity to visit points of historical interest. Then, with the same solicitude. their escorts see them safely to the homeward- bound steamer on which-as on the outbound voyage-their comfort and well-being constitutes the sole object of the attending army officers and nurses. Upon arrival in New York, each mother is furnished with a railroad ticket and accommodation to her home, and under the same care escorted to her train.
 Careful and painstaking investi- gation prior to the inauguration of the pilgrimage last year disclosed that there were 17,535 eligible mothers, 3,653 elected to make the journey last year, and so far, 1851 have accepted the invitation of the government this year. Upon com pletion of the pilgrimage this year there will still be over 12,0O0 eligi- ble for the trip during the two re-, maining years.
 Tt Is especially fitting that the war department should be selected as the agency of the government to manage this wonderful pilgrimage. As the agency of the war depart ment, the quartermaster corps or the army Is proud of the oppor- tunity and privilege given 1t to carry out the provisions of the law. It is an honor that comes but seldom to the personnel of a military organl- zation to pay tribute to the moth- CTS of its country's heroic dead. and if at any time we may feel that perhaps we have failed somewhat may not have done all that we could or should have done. we are reassured and feel repaid by the words of that mother who So simply and gratefully wrote:
 "'The trip was wonderful. and my heart has known more peace than I ever thought it would. I am perfectly satisfied now"

THE CHRISTIAN
 EDUCATION DINNER
Will Be Held at the Central YMCA Wednesday
 Evening
DR SMITH SPEAKER

All of the twenty Young Mems clubs in the Christian education de- partment of the Central Y M c A w,ll be represented by club officials at the coming dinner on Wednesday evening, May 13, at 6:15 at which Dr Robert Seneca Smith of Yale uni versity will be the speaker.
 One of the outstanding thinkers along the line of Christian educa- tion, pr Smith comes to the Water bury M c A for the third time within year to evaluate the extent and quality of the Christian educa- tional program set forth by the Y. pr Smith in two previous visits, has made detailed study of every depart ment in the including the educa- tional and industrial, physical, boys, social and recreational, dormitory and the Christian educational de- partment. In this study Brooklyn branch and North End have been in- cluded as we'll as central.
 Dr Smith comes a third time to make an especial evaluation of the Christian educational content of the Young Mems clubs and after an aft ernoon spent in going into the four fold program of typical young mems club group, he will speak to a large group of members which have been chosen from all of the various clubs pointing out the strong and weak points of the spiritual pro- gram. On Dr Smiths last visit, Feb- ruary g, he formulated criteria, by which the Christian content of a club program might be measured which is as follows:
 Does the activity grow out of ex- isting situations and needs?
 In carrying on the activity are persons respected?
 Does the activity bind the group together in a cooperative human en- terprise.
 Does the activity call for think ing about the fundamental problem involved.
 Does the activity lead on into larg- CT activities?
 Does the total activity, that is. ac- ton, thought and criticism. foster in the group a progressive development

of Christ-like character?
 Does the activity develop an un- derstanding and appreciation of the personality and teaching of Jesus and have the individuals involved into loyalty to his leadership?
 Does the activity develop con- sciousness of God as a reality in hu- man experience, and does 1t help to give Christian interpretation of God and the universe?
 Does the activity develop an un- derstanding and appreciation of the Bible and lead to avmore vital use of 1t as a guide and and stimulus to Christian living?
 Does the activity develop the de- sire and ability to participate con- structively in. the building of bet ter social order throughout the world, an order which enbodies the ideal of the .Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man?

Several Changes In
Auto License Laws
In Transit" Tags Provided for
Dealers-Reciprocity Act
Is Extended

Several changes in the motor We
hicle registration act, affecting GER
tain classes of vehicles, were made
by the 1881 Minnesota Legislature.
The most important is that affect
ing dealers. One section of this
act, which goes into effect at once,
permits issuance Of special license
plates, at 81 per pair, to be used
only In transporting new cars from
the dealers source Of supply or
storage, to his place of business or
another place Of storage. These
plates cannot be used for demons
stration, nor on used cars.
The other sections of this law,
do not go into effect until Jan. 1,
1882. They fix the license fee for
a registered dealer at $50. This fee
does not give hin. any license
plates, but as many plates as he
may require in his business may
be issued at IS per pair. These may
be used on any car owned by a
licensed dealer and driven by him
or. his employees, regardless of
whether the car is used for demon
stration or not. They may also be
used by prospective customers not
to exceed 48 hours, on. passenger
cars, and not to exceed seven days
on trucks. When a vehicle with
dealers plates is operated by a
prospective customer, he must
carry card certifying to this fact,
and showing the time when the
demonstration period ends. This
part Of the law will not be effective
this year.
Another amendment to the regis
tration law provides that motor
vehicles, to which corn shelters,
saving machines, or well drilling
machines. are permanently attach
ed, shall hereafter be taxed as per-
sonal property and not registered
as motor vehicles. If such machin-
cry is only temporarily attached,
the motor vehicle must be register
ed and licensed the same as any
other motor vehicle.
Motor vehicles specially equipped
for operation over snow, and used
for such purposes will
get special fiat rate Of So per
year, If weighing one ton or less,
and 81 for each additional ton or
fraction thereof. Formerly they
paid the same rate, according to
value, as other motor vehicles.
The reciprocity law, which now
applies only to states adjoining
Minnesota, was extended to all
states which extend similar privi-
leges to Minnesota. Under this law
any car owner of another state may
obtain permit for $1.O0, permit
ting him to come and go at will
during the year. It will not be-
come effective until either states
extend similar privileges to Min
nesota motorists, but passenger
cars from states not coming under
the reciprocity act, may obtain Wis
itor's permits good for 80 days, as
before. Trucks with reciprocity
permits may enter the state to do
interstate but not sintra-state haul
