He saw that Chatterer's heart was beat

and Chatterer gasped feebly.
Farmer Browns Boy smiled happily.
He looked over at Sammy Jay.
You called me just in time" said he.
"A minute more and it would have been
too late. Chatterer was as nearly
drowned without being drowned as he
could. Yes, sir, you called me just In

With his handkerchief he wiped
Chatterer as dry as he could. Then he
warmed him in his hands. Chatterer

OF course, Chatterer couldn't tell him,

have told him even If he could. So to

full credit for saving Chatterer.
After a while Chatterer was able to
sit up. He licked himself off and at
last rather slowly made his way home.

Then comes the great family of ants,

all insects and weaker members Of the
insect race apparently initiate them.
To what purpose. asks McAtee?
Leaving the insects, he cites nu-
merous examples of the apparent fail
ure Of supposedly protective devices
among birds, mammals. reptiles and

|RA|L GAIN IS SEEN
in FIGHT ON BUSES
Executives Claim Wide Sup
port on Equal Rights to
Public Highways.
BY The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21-Railroad
executives, who didn't make out so well
when they first set out to fight the new
menace to their earnings arising from
bus and truck competition, now feel
they are making some headway.
The contest between steam and motor
truck transportation is described as
having passed through the following
stages:
/. The first stand of the carriers,
which, back in 1920. took the form Of
passive resistance-of doing little more
than seeking to ridicule the possibility
Of bus competition assuming serious
proportions.
2. The later realization that they
we're fast losing their local business to
trucks This influenced them to launch
campaign to prove trucks had no
rights on the public highways. 1t was
losing fight. sr
Claim Wide Support.
g. The taking of new tack, in which
railroads now seek to prove that If the
public highways can be used by indie
pendent trucks they can be used by
trucks owned by the railroads. In this
move, executives say, they have won
wide support.
In 1920 q Standard Statistics Co.
compilation shows railroads hauled 53,-
202, 900 tons of freight in less than car
load lotS-a class Of freight for which
the busseS are strongly competing In
1880, the total declined to 1866 900
tons, decrease of 44.2 per cent.
Registration Increases.
Meanwhile, motor truck registration
increased by leaps. In 1920 the total
was 100000. In 1880 it was 3.480 900,
a gain Of 246.2 per cent.
The roads now urge that truck regu-
lation be vested in a Federal commits
sion patterned after the Interstate
Commerce Commission. They also ask
that buses be taxed to the same extent
as the railroads.

WAY IS SUGGESTED
TO FILL CHURCHES.
.Back to Bible" Move Urged
by DR.. Wright at PreSby-
terian Conference.

RI the leaders of the churches of all
denominations understand the soul OF
the masses, they will add to their social
service program a real back to the
Bible movement, and the people will
again crowd the churches, Rev. Archi-
bald r. Wright told those in attendance
at the Interdenominational Bible Con-
ference at the Fourth Presbyterian
Church today.
The church has today lost its grip on
the neonle. and the Bible Conference
movement offers the one way back. he
added. That movement Is symbolized
by a desire on the part OF the people
to hear the teaching Of the plain. SIM
pie truths of Gods word. Failure OF
Religious leaders to recognize that fact
is for them TO lose an opportunity OF
leading the world out oil maze OF
economic depression. He described the
state of the world today as one OF
shock, socially, morally, politically ana
religiously. ,, T.
Dr.. Wright is one Of the leaders IN
the work Of the Moody B1ole lnstltuCe
of Chicago, which Is sponsoring lns
conference. and is the former pastor OF
the FIRST PRESBYTERIAN Church Of New
tonards, County Down, ireland. He
held this pastorate for five years after
the World War, which he spent In Eu,
rope in a study of religious and social
conditions He has also been connected
with the Presbyterian Board OF Chris
tian Education.
The conference, which opened yes
terday with addresses by DR.. James M
Gray, president of Moody Bible Instl-
tute, and Dr. Wright, will continue
through Friday. 1t has as its aim the
bringing of church leaders to teach
ing OF the simple faiths Of other years,
from which, it is charged, there has
been q tendency to depart.
