young persons spare time is valued by any one who has studied a po- lice chart, showing the appalling rise of the curve in juvenile de- linquency as highest for the leisure hours of any day. Also for the ten to eighteen Boys clubs throughout the country which teach them work, cooperation, clean sportsmanship, fair play and high sense of honor. Again four young people of both sexes from eight to 20 there are the summer camps, covering religion, athletics, music, artcrafts, nature study and domestic science.
 And yet again the young peoples bands supply an outlet for mind and body, making strong appeal each time they appear to unat- tached and uncontrolled youth. For later and more seroius-minded ado lescence exist the Young Peoples legion with its development of lead- ership and the corps cadet brigade, the latter offering a continuity of study over several years, from from which emerge not only the army's future teachers and preach- CTS but well-balanced units of so- ciety. Thousands of second genera tion Salvationists attest the value of right mental, physical and spirit ual training as the best insurance against the degenerating and disin- tegrating forces of crime.
 Save the criminal? Yes! But save youth from becoming criminal. As some one has aptly put 1t, We must take our concentration off the electric chair, and put it on the high chair"
 Last year in the United States 728O prisoners were assisted on dis charge and situations found by the army. Salvationists spent 41,5O3 hours in prison visitation; 805 prisoners were paroled to Salva- tionists.

Catholic Data

Keep off lightning? Why, medals being made of metal, would more likely attract lightning, wouldn't they?"
 But an old Catholic woman I know, wouldn't think of leaving off her medals for fear of being struck or drowned or something"
 "Yes, and I don't doubt that that same old woman has her own id,gs about Relativity, Diphtheria and the causes of the World war; but you'd hardly quote her as an auth ority on those subjects. would you?"
 "But after all in a way she may be right about her medals. They, of course, have absolutely no power in themselves. They are lifeless matter. But if, knowing the medal to be blessed to inspire trust in Gods loving care, your old Catholic woman, in simple faith (which amounts to prayer for protection) wears the medal with a sense of security, who can say that our all- understanding God will not answer and preserve her from harm?
 "And isn't 1t likely, too, that the wearing of reminder of Christ or a saint, will allay her fear and thus perhaps, as a by-product, re- suit in a better cooked dinner, de- spite flashes and crashes from the skies. Who knows?"
 A fear-shaken soldier, before the battle, brings forth a picture of his wife, his child or his sweetheart. He looks at 1t fondly. He kisses 1t fervently-mere paper, mounted on cardboard-yet it inspires him to go forth valiantly to victory or to death.
 You, fellow citizens, who doff your hat to the American flag, who stand with reverence before the picture of Washington or Lincoln, who lovingly preserve the wedding gown of your great-great grand mother-you who have sentiment, imagination and loyalty-Surely must see the Catholic viewpoint on medals, pictures. statues and relics -momentoes of Christ, our God, and of the beloved heroes of Chris tianity.
 There is a vast difference between the supernatural and the supersti- tious. All wisdom subscribes to the first. Ignorance alone subscribes to the second. Ignorant. superstitious Catholics, of course, there are: but taken as a whole Catholics are less prone to this silly weakness than any other class of people in the world.

kSAeAASSHeeS or his noble practice. It is in this way that we discover the true meaning of these stories of the Old Testament, and receive the richest and highest lessons from them.'
 Abraham appears in our lesson as a man of destiny. But his des- tiny is not 8 matter of chance. If the story suggests that he is fa- vored of the Almighty and that there are great blessings in store for him; and if this a certain par tiality toward there would seem to be in all Abraham as an indi- vidual, one hastens to point out that his coming greatness, and that of the nation that he would found, was not based upon any such nar- row conception. Abraham was not only to be blessed, but he was to be 8 blessing. His destiny was one of responsibility as much as one of success and achievement.
 The significant thing about Abra- ham is that we see in him and in his acts, despite his weaknesses and errors, the attitude of faith and the quality of living upon which human affairs can be built.
 Nothing ever was established upon unbelief and negation. The men who have gone forth to en- large the worlds boundaries and experiences have always been men of sort of faith. It might not be a deeply religions faith, but it was 8 faith sufficient to lead them in the the quest of something yet un- realized.
 One sees in Abraham a strongly developing sense of justice, and 8 feeling for human values in an age when the circumstances of life tended to involve men and groups of men in strife as they sought pas- lures and watering places for their fiocks.
 Abraham perceived that there was 8 nobler and better way than that of warfare. The remarkable thing is that he showed himself willing to pay the price of peace. When his herdsmen and Lots were in conflict, his plea was, "Let there be no strife. You go to the right hand and I'll go to the left, or you go to the left, and I shall go to the right"
 It was 8 revelation of mag nanimity such as later men and later generations have little imi- tated. We live in 8 world that has paid, and is paying, an enor- nous price for war. What a world we might have, if we had 8 measure of this ancient Abraham,s wiling ness to pay the price of peace!

PETWORTH FIGHTS
JACOBS FORMULA
Yaden Authorized to Oppose
Report in Hearings on
Hill Next Week. .

James G. Yaden, former president
Of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations. was authorized by the Pet
worth Citizens Association last night
to oppose certain sections of the ia
cobs committee report at congress
sional hearings next week.
Asking for instructions as to what
the attitude Of the group is, Yaden
declared: II am not a prophet, but
any individual who could see as far
as the tip Of his nose could have told
you that we were headed for a catas-
trophe" He referred to the decreased
Federal appropriations to the District
from year to year in the past and the
Jacobs committee plan.
Asked If he opposed the Mapes bill,
now pending in Congress, providing
for repeal of the 60-40 substantive
law, Yaden declared it made no diff
ference to taxpayers if this law Is re-
pealed, since the Federal Government
has never in the past lived up to its
provisions. The Taxation Committee
was instructed to study and report in
February on the Jacobs report and
Yaden was asked to use his discretion
In opposing the measure at the hear
4ngs.
Seven bills before Congress were
approved and one opposed on recon-
mendation of Ernest F. Henry, chair
man, Law and Legislation Committee.
The bills approved are: to prosecute
sellers of numbers game slips; to regu-
late the practice of law; to govern
lunacy proceedings; to control sale
and manufacture of narcotics; to set
up a proposed real estate commission;
q new corporation act; and to provide
for an inebriate farm. Disapproval
was expressed of proposed extension
Of hours Of sale of liquor on Sunday.

since 1888, however, the 1885 volume
still was 38 per cent below the $685.
