A few weeks ago we printed
bunch of indignant letters on
the recklessness of automobile
drivers. Here's CHARLES CAR
ROLL, JR., of Baltimore City
College, BALTIMORE, MD.
with several pertinent remarks
on the other side of the picture.
Dear Miss Robinson:
'Most older people seem to be
of the opinion that the use OF
automobiles makes us reckless
and dangerous, but I'm con-
vinced that the opposite is true.
"I have a small, old model
car, bought with money earned
after school hours. I drive it
every day to and from school.
I hold that the ownership OF
this car has made me, and many
of my fellow students in the
same position, more careful OF
human life and more respon.
sible than many adult Sunday
drivers
Being responsible for the
care and repair of them, we
acquire much useful knowledge
of machinery, and we are not
afraid to get our hands dirty.
It is also a matter Of pride with
us to keep our driving records
clear at City College. This is
the age of machinery, and the
daily use of a car helps us pre-
pare to fit into it.

Christian Science Founder
Is Subject Of Lecture

A lecture on "Christian Science
Its Discoverer and Founder" was de-
livered last evening in Fourth
Church of Christ, Scientist, by Paul
A. Harsch, C. S. B., of Toledo, Ohio.
Mr.. Harsch is a member Of the
Board of Lectureship of the Mother
Church, the First Church Of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston. Mass. He was
introduced by Mrs. Mary G. Horna-
day, second reader of Fourth Church,
which sponsored this lecture.
The lecturer said, in part:
Because the Christ has always op-
Grated in human consciousness ac-
cording to a definite law or science,
and Jesus knew this, His prayers
were constant affirmations of the
ever presence and all-power of this
Christ-laW, rather than petitions to
a far-off Father to grant Him some
special favor. Mrs Eddy's revelation
that principle was God and underlay
all being enabled her to see the vital
truth which formed the basis of the
Masters demonstration. She saw
that God was life, all; that disease,
decay, death, being no part of di-
vine life, did not, could not, really
exist as fact: that they only ap-
peared to a false human sense to
be real.
Seeing this. she quickly realized.
and afterward taught, that the most
effective prayer consisted of deep.
persistent, earnest affirmations of
Gods allness, His goodness, His low
ing care of His children. She coupled
this prayer with another, also one
of affirmation. namely: that evil,
sin, disease, death were unreal, pow
erleSs, and incapable of destroying
the harmony of being. OF Jesus she
once said that His humble prayers
were deep and conscientious protests
of truth (Science and Health, page
12. This washer method and the
method she taught consistently
Truth must. because Of its very ma
ture, uncover and destroy every
falsity which confronts it.
"An excellent illustration of Chris
tan Science prayer, based upon this
dependable method, is given by Mrs

Emotion When Found
Guilty Of Assault

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30.-Cali-
fornia law sent Charles e. Mcdonald,
convicted of assault with a deadly
weapon, back to court today to de-
termine has sanity at the moment
he shot Mrs. Karl Kruger on Holly
wood boulevard last August 10.
1t was the lantern-jawed elec-
trician's second trial under the
criminal code which permits dou-
BILE plea of innocent and innocent

liberation, last night found McDon-
aid guilty on a charge punishable
by l to 10 years in prison, for firing
three bullets which nearly claimed
the life of the wife of the Kansas
City Philharmonic Orchestra con-
ductor
The defendant never batted an eye
when the verdict was read. He had
testified he blamed Mrs. Kruger
for breaking up his home. His at
torney had argued an unnatural
friendship existed between Mrs.
Kruger and his estranged wife,
Frances, who was employed as gov
erness for the Kruger daughter.
The shooting victim, member Of
the Mccormick Harvester family,
returned on a stretcher to Kansas
City with her husband before the
Mcdonald trial opened. Wounded
In the spine. she was paralyzed prob
ably for life.
In an attempt to refute McDon-
AIDS claims, his wife took the wit
ness stand, but was prevented from
testifying against him because her
decree of divorce had not become
final
Offering a blank mind" defense,
Mcdonald asserted he lost con-
sciousness when Mrs Kruger, whom
he encountered in front of Holly
wod dance studio, told him he would
never again see his wife and their
2-year-old baby Emita.
1t was within the courts discretion
today to dismiss the jury and i'm
panel another venire to hear Nc

her daughter Mrs. Jack Swarens.
The poem follows
Lavender for old seasons,
Gold for lost young summer days.
Michaelmas blossoms lift bright
heads
To the autumn suns soft rays.
In the late October garden,
Where furnished asters hide,
The daisies spread their loveliness
To cloak Old Summers pride.
Or by the country wayside,
Their bright gold tlnged with rust,
Gems of THE poor mans garden,
They glow from hedge of dust
The garden in the sunlight
Is mother sweet and worn,
With lavender bloom in her bonnet,
Her dress earth-brown and torn.
The roadside hedge is a gypsy bag,
But she cries the garden dare,
To walk with her in beauty show
Since both of them, daisies wear.
Lavender for old seasons,
Gold for lost young days
Thank God for the last brave colors
That come through flower ways.
