EDITORIAL

The problem of mind over matter
holds more weight than the idea of
three trite words. With the sincere ap-
plication Of this phrase, person har-
raised by numerous earthly worries is
enabled, gradually, to ascend above
them until they are at last mere illu-
sions OF worries that have been success
fully vanquished by firm will.
One who is being continually per-
turbed by every passing misfortune will
soon find himself playing the role of a
constant pessimist, denouncing uncon-
sciously, or otherwise, the available en-
joyment Of pleasures at hand.
Surrendering oneself completely to
the dominance of trouble will leave be-
hind a souvenir of black crepe where
with the jaundiced viewpoint will drape
all future events. 80

Highway Patrol Chief Talks.

At a Joint assembly Friday morning,
Mr.. Lew Bodecker, head of the Mon
tana highway patrol, spoke briefly on
the hazards facing US on the highways.
Quoting Mr.. Bodecker, the following are
the highlights of his talk
a1vhe aim Of the Montana highway
patrol is to save lives. That Death Rides
the Highways cannot be stressed too
much. In 1884 $1,000 people in the
United States lost their lives in auto
mobile fatalities. Over 100000 were
injured and $4,000 were crippled for
life. In Montana for the same year 214
people were killed Since the highway
patrol was organized only So people
have died in accidents
THE reason that there are SO many
accidents and deaths is that people don't
realize what dangerous thing an au-
tomoble is. They don't realize the dan
ger of defective brakes and of unad-
justed lights 1t doesn't occur to people
that when they are travelling GO or 70
miles an hour an automobile won't stop
Jas soon as they apply their brakes.
They haven't any conception of what a
few drinks does to impair their mental
efficiency They may be feeling good
but they are slower on the uptake.'
"The Montana highway patrol is doing
all in their power to check up on all
cars: to see that their lights and brakes
are in excellent condition, and that the
cars do not constitute a menace on the
highways of Monana'
Mr.. Bodecker congratulated the Libby
High School on its student patrol and
said that they were doing fine work
in intoxicating in the children and auto
lists stricter observance of traffic regu-
lations

EXTRA SERVICE
AT ST. JOHNS
DR.. Hart to Preach To-
morrow Morning at $50
and at II o'clock.

Beginning tomorrow, st. Johns
Church, at Sixteenth and H streets,
will have $50 service on Sunday
mornings, which will be a duplicate
of the II O'Clock service. The rector,
DR.. Oliver j. Hart, will preach the
same sermon at both services. The
same hymns will be sung. All seats
will be free at this service.
The need for such service has been
felt for some time. because the con-
gregation at the II o'clock service
now taxes the capacity of this historic
church. AS some of the seats at the IL
o'clock service are reserved, it is diff
cult for visitors to Washington or new
comers to st. Johns to find a place
Therefore, a service at $50. with all
seats free. will give many who desire
to worship here an opportunity to
do so.
Another feature of this service al
$50 has been a special appeal tc
parents, for during the singing of the
sermon hymn the church school chill
dren will leave the church to 60 to
their classes. AS the time schedule is
SO arranged for both church and
church school to end at 1920, it will
now be possible for parents to meet
their children afterward and all &c
home together.
