Lenten Thoughts

What place should the ancient
church custom of Lent have IN
modern life? 1t is remarked tina
this custom originated in an age
when there was a much gr,ete,
tendency for people to retire -te
lives of severe ascetism. People
of that type would feel hat :
Of withdrawal from ordi-
nary worldly activities would bring
huuan nature into a closer touch
with spiritual realities.
Today we have gone on a very
practical age, when people demanc
that any religious custom justify
itself by results achieved for hui
manity. But the same old fault,
that debased human life centuries
ago still affect us. There is the
same selfish attitude, the same
eager grasping for material things
the same disposition to ignore the
true meaning of life.
As we hurry through this world
it is we'll to ask from time to time
what are we here for, and what are
we expected to do, and what power
placed us here? Lent offers an
swers. to those questions. Not SC
many people oberve Lent now by
strenuous exercises of physical self
denial. But there are plenty OF
make some personal sacrifice, who
go slow on frivolous pursuits, who
listen to spiritual voices. There is
no doubt that such ones gain a
benefit.
The present age overdoes the
pursuit of pleasure and material
satisfaction. 1t drives so hard that
the mind and body are worn out
before their time. A benefit is
gained merely by slowing up on
thee pursuits, even if there was no
help from sources of spiritual in
iPfration, there will be a double
gain.

MAIN
As Seen By The Traffic Cop .

Main Street, in your town or
anybody else's town is just a cross
section of the maelstrom of life.
1t may be the old darkey, with his
sway-back mule and his wagon
tied together with wire, impeding
the progress of the social scion in
his five thousand dollar limousine;
or the diamond bedecked and OBJ
viouly successful business man,
with woe-begone countenance be-
moaning the burden of taxation to
a group Of friends, while a battered
little lass, with smile almost sub
lime, looks on, with a.soiled one
legged dolly clutched to her bos-
som. However, no matter what
the circumstance may be, life in
all its phases is manifested on Main

NEW YORK, Dec. THE stock
market moved listlessly today with
prices highly irregular.
An opening interest in traction

points, disappeared when denial was
made that definite offers had been

the New York system of rails. At
noon traction shares we're steady TO
lower.
Nash Motors made one of the
most active demonstrations and
gained IL to 1874. other motors
did not follow. General Motors de-

Steel was fractionally lower while
rails generally showed a little east

Copper issues we're fairly active at
fractionally higher prices on belief

N. Y. CITY LEVY
SEEN AS MODEL
Former Brain TruSter Views
Sales Tax Used to
Finance Relief.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. THE finan-
cial community of the nation has
decided to push the sales tax as a
means of financing relief in the
United States in preference to an
extension of income or inheritance
taxes, A. A. Berle Jr., City Cham
berlain and member of the Roose-
welt Brain Trust, asserted today.
Celebrating an earlier statement
that New York City's acceptance of
the sales tax in its recently enact
ed $56,000,000 relief program, con-
stituted a first class financial de-
feat" for the administration of
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, Cham
berlain Berle said:
There is no doubt that a general
attitude has been crystallizing in
banking circles toward unemploy-
ment relief problems. The West
Coast speech of Winthrop Aldrich
of the Chase National Bank indi-
Gates that.
They have decided, I believe, to
concentrate upon substituting a
low substance dole for work relief,
in belief that it will be less expen-
sive. And they have decided to
push the sales tax as a method of
financing relief in place of the ex-
tention of the income and inheri-
lance taxes.
THE policy followed here, in fore
ing the sales tax upon us, I ex-
pect to see pursued in other COM
munities and in Federal affairs"

its metal value still is 81 80 compared
with other factors.
Based on this estimate, he said,

mands that the dollar be reduced
to at least 100 cents"
Such devaluation, the Senator
said. would in effect reduce taxes

WEST VIRGINIA
TO Intervene
IN POWER SUIT
Constitutional Right of U. S.
to Supervise River Prof.
eCtS Challenged.

81 { Nttcd Press
WASHINGTON. Dec. THE
constitutional right of the Federal
Government to supervise water
power developments on rivers in
the states will be challenged by
West Virginia, it was announced
today.
Homer A. Holt, West Virginia At
torney General, served notice on Os-
valid Ryan, general counsel for the
Federal Power Commission. that his
state planned to intervene in suit
of the United States against the
Electro Metallurgical Co., in which
the Federal Government is seeking
to require the cc-,'Sany to accept a
Federal license for its $1,000. 900
Hawks Nest hydroelectric project
on New River in West Virginia.
The case is scheduled to be tried
in the U. S. District Court of the
Southern district of West Virginia
Jan. 7.
Mr.. Holt informed Mr.. Ryan that
West Virginia did not question the
power of the Federal Government to
project navigable waters but be-
lieved that the Federal Water Power
Act goes much farther than is
necessary or proper for the exer-
else of that admitted power of the
United States, and, in fact, attempts
not to project the navigable waters
of the United States but to usurp
or seriously encroach upon the SOW
ereign power of the state of West
Virginia to control and supervise the
development of water power within
that state"

Drought Caused Severe
Shortage of Feed for
Animals.

bW CNlttN fffSS
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE
horse will lose more ground in his
race with the automobile as an eff
feet of the drought.
High prices for feedstuffs Offset
the tendency to return to work ami
mails on farms that might otherwise
have occurred as a result of long
continued hard times on Ameri-
can farms.
Decline Covers Is Years
The number of horses in the
country has declined for Is consecu-
tive years, while the number of
mules has decreased during the last
nine.
If colt production continues to in
crease in 1885 and 1886 as rapidly as
in the last two years, the long down.
ward trend in the number of work
animals may be checked. Mean
while, manufacturers of little trac-
tors"-which do the work of two or
three horses-and of automobile
trucks will make determined eff
fort to encourage motorized farm
ing.
Food Shortage Handicap
Unemployment, and low prices
for farm goods, tend to encourage
the use of work animals rather than
motors, but scarcity of feed tenn
porarily neutralizes these factors.
In the South, where the mule is
an indispensable adjunct of cotton
farming, the mechanization of agri-
culture has been retarded. The sys-
tenn of cotton culture would change
extensively only in the event of
widespread introduction of mechan-
ical -pickers. In such event
scientific agriculture might be de-
veloped in some areas to the preju-
dice of the mule.
