the disease or by becoming carriers of the germ without active symp- toms of the disease. Since diph- theria was then more prevalent, there were frequent opportunities for adults to become carriers and to have their immunity renewed occasionally as the germs, growing in the throat, produced toxin. Im- munity was thus kept up, but with the lessened prevalence in recent years, up to 1887, people have been exposed much less frequently and a greater loss. of immunity once ac- quired is in this way permitted. Adults may be sure that they main tain their immunity by having an occasional Shick test and immuni- ration treatment if they are found susceptible.

Shall We Have New
School BUILDING?

The question has been of vital
concern to our community for the
past two or three years as 10 whether
We should have an additional build
ing program for our local schools
Last year the subject went before
the public in the form of bond is
sue. Monday night the PIT A. will
have thorough discussion of tie
matter. This will be your oppor-
tunity to hear all sides of the guess
ton. School board members will
offer their conclusions as drawn at
this time. Parents will be given an
opportunity to express themselves
by way of a panel discussion and
anyone will have the chance to ask
any question pertaining to the school
situation.
Our problem is: Which will serve
our. community better-an entirely
new grade building, an additional
ward building located either on Dex-
ter Field or in South Libby, or
whether the proposed high school
wing will take care of the school
poulation best A new grade build
ing is the most desirable, perhaps.
of the three suggestions, but the
lack of sufficient funds will prob
ably preclude such a project at this
time. On the other hand should
we want an additional ward school,
how large one, and what sort of
one would we want? Do we want
our school buildings scattered or
is it wiser to make such a division?
Another suggestion has been made,
would it be wiser to turn the high
school building over to the grade
school and then provide completely
new building housing the gymnas-
ium and auditorium and high
school?
Further: Is our grade school
building fire trap? Is the old
courthouse building where's, the
fourth grades are now housed going
to remain available for next year?
If SO, should we continue using that
for our school building? How much
money do we have to 60 on? Can
we secure further federal aid? Is
lit a matter of wanting to build or
building only as far as our money
will allow us to 60?
This is live issue at the present
time. We all recognize the school
lis crowded and needs adjustment of
some kind, but our concern is, what
lis the best way out?
So, Monday evening, at 3 p. m.
junior high auditorium, a friendly
discussion will be thrown open for
the public, questions raised, and
answers aftannta1 Dafiuita roy
illusions should be the result OF
such meeting. If you're a tax
payer, you will be there. If you
have children in school, you'll be
interested.

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
 Editor of Advance

Hannah is great type of the god- ly mother, the woman yearning for son, and, when her prayer is an- swered, devoting all her energies and powers to consecrate that son to the very highest purposes and to train him for the things to which she has consecrated him.
 Eli, the high priest, had observed Hannah sitting by the door-post of the temple, praying in bitterness of soul and weeping sorely in her anxiety to have a child. Eli mistak- enly supposed, as he saw her lips moving but did not hear her voice that she was drunk, and he reproved her-but 1t must have been with stateliness and impressive sincerity that she replied, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit; l have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but poured out my soul to Jehovah"
 The son that came to Hannah through her prayers was Samuel, who was to be Eli's successor and a great leader in the life of Israel.
 Men and women are wont to pray zealously for what the, want, and when they receive it, forget their VOWS and devotion-but Hannah fulfilled her part. She had promised to give her child to the service of Jehovah and she did not waver. It must have involved considerable sacrifice on her part to dedicate him to the sanctuary and have him brought up there under the guid- ance of Eli, when she must have had so much of a mothers longing to keep him to herself. Yet, how much greater this man Samuel was in ser vice to God and man because of his mothers love and sacrifice!
 We have here in our lesson the record of Hannahs prayer which reveals her greatness of soul.
 Like Mary of Bethlehem, who was to become the mother of one greater than Samuel, her thought was all of salvation, and she lived in the atmosphere of divine plans and pur- poses.
 How much 1t means to have such wonderful environment as that! It has glorified common men and women. It has enlarged the area of hearth and home; and the devotion of a household, the love of moth CTS heart, has become 50 enlarged as to extend to the very ends of the earth and to the limits of mankind
 I have read of Scottish mother of our modern times who gave to the world seven fine sons Every one of them became man of distinction in some field of ser vice into which he entered-the ministry. medicine, government, and similar fields. They went out from Scotland to serve other lands. The

Speed Major Menace
 To Safety On Roads
Police Superintendent Cites Improper Passing as An=
 other Hazard; Coping With Emergencies Important

Speeding is the greatest single cause of accidents, Police Superin- tendent William J. Roach declares in a safety statement today. In To- cal accidents last year in which drivers were at fault, there were 289, or 30 per cent, which were caused by the fast that the vehicles were being operated too fast for con- ditions.
 The driver who speeds, says the superintendent, has not got his car under control and is a menace on the highway. He cites improper passing as another traffic hazard.
 Supt. Roach's statement follows:
 Speed too fast for conditions is the greatest single menace to safety on the road. Drivers exceeding the speed limit caused directly more than 30 per cent of 289 of the automo- bile accidents involving driving er- TOTS in Waterbury last year, result ing in four deaths and 167 persons injured. This is not the whole story. It is known also that excessive speed was an important contributing fac- tor in many accidents for which other causes were attributed. Au- thorities say that 90 per cent of the total accidents occurring in the United States last year with death toll of 10000 lives can be laid at the door of speed too fast for con- ditions."
 The simple fast is that speed re- duces the drivers mastery of his vehicle. Your ability to cope with an emergency diminishes with the ex- tent to which you are exceeding

 MIND" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Job 36:5: Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom"
 Readings from the Bible include the following passages from Isaiah 35: 4, 6 to ): Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing"
 Selections from the Christian Sci ence textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: Mind the source of all movement, and there is no inertia to retard or check it's perpetual and harmonious action. Mind is the same Life, Love, and wisdom yesterday, and to-day, and forever Matter and its effects sin, sickness, and death-are states of mortal mind which act, re- act, and then come to stop.

 like to hear but radio being radio you took as you now take what you get Likewise were not dizzy Keeping track of so many sponsors so many commentators, so many singers (hgh, medium low and low-o") so many orchesras so many comedians and so many everything as we have today interesting to read that 16 years ago WEAF went the air with practically all musical program Today that and other broadcastlng stations
 have so many such varied programs that it difficult to follow few of them.
