Finally, however, its congregation - 1t doesn't have any regular members, since no roster was ever started decided to put up a building. It raised $8,000 in two weeks, added this to fund of $3,0O0 which had been accumulated, and began work on the building, most of the labor being done by the congregation.
 Archie Payne, an English evan gelist, was the inspiration for this free and easy church organization. A group of persons who attended Payne's meetings here in 1920 wanted to keep up study of the Bible together. They were mostly members of other denominations. attending church at different places. so they formed this un- denominational. yet orthodox. group of Bible students. and met in an old mansion. which they called the Central Bible Hall. Their one purpose was to train Sunday school teachers. So any one who attended the class might be called on at any time to teach the lesson. Before long. other Sunday school teachers 50ined, until now the regular attendance is about 250, and the new hall will be built to accommodate TOO.

URGED ON DRIVERS
Traffic Council Calls Upon
Motorists to Stop 'Hogging'
Right of Way.

Yield the right of way to all persons
entitled thereto"
Washington motorists are urged by
the District of Columbia Traffic Ad-
visorv Council to adopt this as a New
Year resolution and strictly follow 1t.
The resolution was proposed by Edwin
S. Hege. traffic expert Of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations and a
member of the Traffic Advisory Council.
The latter gave its Endorsement
A statement regarding the resolution,
signed by George w. Offutt, chairman
of the Traffic Advisory Council elab-
crates on the proposal as follows
This resolution calls for knowing the
right-of- way rules, because guessing
tends to promote rather than prevent
traffic disasters. Then the rules known
should be stored in the mind. to be
found quickly the instant an emergency
begins to arise A program of this ma
ture would be aided we're owners OF
private and public motor vehicles to
make periodic inquiries as to the trafflc
knowledge and practices OF the persons
employed by them as operators.
Some examples Of disregarding
right-of- way rules are ignoring stop
lights and signs, cutting of cross-f1oW
vehicles and pedestrians. racing at an
intersection to stall the completion Oh
a left turning. driving to left OF CEN
ter of highway. making right turn from
center of highway instead of from right
curb and pulling from curb to hazard
oncOming traffic.
Traffic officials. courts and students
of traffic are becoming convinced that
mcst so-called traffic accidents are in
fact not accidents, but are the direct and
logical effects of clearly evident causes.
Generally speaking, the causes are
usually faulty operation, sometimes a
thoughtless pedestrian, occasionally a
vehicle in poor condition mechanically.
In the twinkling of an eye the faulty
operation of a motor vehicle can easily
change a useful conveyance into a
missile of steel. human beings falling
dead or manned by its great weight
and force. Then follow regrets, sad
ness perhaps the Imprisonment OF the
faulty operator. so it is important to
know the rules and avoid the causes
that lead to disasters"
