GIVE PEDESTRIANS CONSIDERA.
TION
TION

Urging motorists to give more con-
sideration to pedestrians, the Key
stone Automobile Club of Maryland
emphasizes fact apparently little
appreciated by the average driver
that a motor car travelling at only
twenty miles an hour moves five
times as fast as a person walking
briskly.
A pedestrian walking at smart
gait goes but four miles an hour, or
less than six feet per second, Club
safety officials point out, while at
twenty miles an hour car covers
more than twenty-nine feet every
time the clock ticks.
AS further emphasis of the rapid
ity with which a car overtakes a
pedestrian, Albert e. Buckley, Man
ager of the Club, points out that at
forty miles an hour the motorist is
moving at least ten times as fast as
he person on foot.
The mo.orist never acts as prompt
ly as he thinks he does, the Club
official declares. Between the time
the motorist thinks he applies the
brakes and the time he actually does
it, the car will have travelled about
twenty-five feet at twenty miles an
hour, and another twenty-five feet
will have been traversed before the
car is stopped. That means, he
says, that anything that appears less
than forty-four feet ahead is almost
certain to be struck.
The greater the speed, the more
the danger zone is extended ahead of
the car. At forty miles an hour, it
is pointed out, the car will travel
forty-five feet during the brief period
of mental and physical reaction, and
another Lightweight feet after the
motorist has put on the brakes-a
total of 1873 feet.

| GOOD WIFE HEAVENS GIFT
TO MAN
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

There is nothing on earth that we
cherish,
And nothing husband loves more,
Than the wife that was given to help
him,
And save in temptations so sore.
When trials and conflict surround
him,
She then is his comfort and stay,
And when the dark clouds gather
DER him,
Her smile quickly drives them
away.
In sorrow and anguish what comfort
Comes from her watching and care,
No battle so fierce or no danger
To keep her away from him there.
She will stand by when all others for
sake him,
And keep brave and true till the
last,
And in life's darkest hour will COM
fort,
Until every temptation is past.
She will always be sweetheart and
dearest,
OF any on earth he holds dear,
Her voice will always be sweetest
OF any he ever will hear.
At last when life's journey is ended,
BY her side he will lie down to
rest,
And in Heaven she will be with him,
Forever and even the blest.

The Stability Of Our Times
Wv YE ARE sometimes prone to
w think that the problems we

w TE ARE sometimes prone to
" think that the problems we
must face are peculiar to us
as individuals or as nations, or 10
our generation; while, as matter of
fact, the temptations that come to
any one Individual are common to
mankind; and the problems of our
age have rec rred in differing forms
throughout all history. The Bible IS
replete with stories of how those
who trusted In God. worked out the
same problems which confront us,
and this is one way in which the
Bible has served to comfort mankind.
There is comfort in it now for those
who are disturbed over the present
apparent overturning of social, eco
nomic, and governmental conditions,
and who believe the world to be in
such a state of upheaval that they
have come to wonder If there is any
thing fixed and stable.
Isaiah, seeing the need of the peo-
pies deliverance from evil, gave the
assurance, "And wisdom and knowl-
edge shall be the stability of thy
times" The Preacher, considering it,
arrived at the consolatory conclusion,
81 know that, whatsoever God doeth,
1t shall be for ever: nothing can be
put to it, nor any thing taken from
it." Over and over again the Scrip
lures assure us that all the good and
all the true will endure forever, that
what has been established by God is
forever stable. Since Gods law is
fixed and permanent, we have no
cause to fear that in this present
worldwide upheaval of old traditions
we can possibly lose anything that is
good and real.
Progress does not create evil, but
1t does tend to make hidden evil evil
dent; to bring it to the light SO that
1t can be seen for what 1t claims to
be and is not, and thus destroyed.
Looking back, perhaps in our own
individual lives, and certainly in more
recent world history, we can realize
that the times when we seemed to
have the greatest sense of material
peace and satisfaction were not neces-
sarily the times when we were MAX
ing most progress spiritually. In fact,
the very opposite might be said to be
the case.
The situation may be likened to
the cleaning of neglected room. A
considerable amount of dust may be
stirred up in the process, but it is
merely being brought to the surface
so that it can be swept away So in
the present worldwide experience a
great deal of that which is wrong is
being brought to the light in order
that it may be seen and destroyed.
Instead, then, of regretting that we

MOTHERS DAY

On Sunday, May IL, the nation
will pay homage to Mother, by per-
sonal message and floral tribute.
The American Legion is attempt
ing to give the day deeper mean
ing than ever before by initiating a
movement to arouse public conscious
ness to the need for energetic action
to reduce Americas appalling death
rate of mothers during childbirth
and has selected Mothers Day as an
appropriate occasion for launching
the movement, when local Leglons
throughout the country will sponsor
educational campaigns to stimulate
widespread public interest in TINS
cause.
Mothers Day originated with MISS
Anna Jarvis, of Virginia, whose
mother died in 1905. This SAD
event prompted Miss Jarvis to sug-
gest a national holiday in which all
mothers, living and dead, would be
remembered in some affectionate and
notable way. The idea grew out OF
a request for her cooperation IN
memorial service for her mother
who had rendered distinctive SER
vice to her church and community.
Miss Jarvis was Immediately OBJ
sessed with the idea and instigated
an intensive plan OF propaganda
which brought about the organlza-
ton of the Mothers Day lnterna-
tional Association, of which she be-
came the first president.
The first observance was held in
Presbyterian church in Philadelphia
May 10, 1908. State after State
passed the desired legislation setting
apart the day, and on May 8, 1914
President Wilson and Secretary OF
State Bryan signed a joint resolution
of the United States Congress desig-
mating the second Sunday in May OF
each year as Mothers Day. Since
tnaS Time the iuSd uelo SPAOo'o -
country to country.
There is nothing SO rich, so divine,
so full of soul power and beauty as
the love of a mother. From that
fountain of love within her breast
flows a never ceasing stream of pity
and compassion. A mothers love is
born before the child, and lives long
after the grave has claimed her of
spring; the only love in all this cold,
hollow world that asks no return.
The love of a mother is golden
chain holding all humanity, to its
God.
The influence of mother is ever
seen in the lives of great men and
women. The love of mother and the
influence of mother is felt by every
human being.
Every living mother should receive
some message of affection or token
of love, from every son and daugh-
ter, by way of some slight observance
of the hallowed day, and every per-
son should in some way pay tribute
to those Mothers who have passed on,

None Of these things can be accom-
plished by war. They all require
peaceful processes. High living stand
ards cannot be forced, they nNst be
developed. High social standards
cannot be gained by killing. They
can come only through living. What
is the use of wiping out slavery If the
only way to free q person from slavery
is to kill him? When we analyze the
present situation thus economically.
politically and socially. and realize the
worlds changed attitude in regard to
international war, we cannot help but
feel that the nations of Europe by col
lective action will find q way out and
that they will not resort to war. War
In theory has been outlawed. The test
of the ability to keep 1t outlawed de-
pends upon the public opinion Of the
world and the effectiveness Of peaceful
processes which have been set up for
governments to use. based upon the
great theory that wherever there is a
threat to peace that threat should be
of concern to the whole world. Ineef-
national deliberation, collective action,
international discussion backed up by
public opinion will prove themselves
moral forces great enough to restrain.

want no wealth gained from war. Wa
