No Announcement
 Mrs, Alice Bradley, supervisor of the local branch of the motor ve- hicle department, said today she has received no official notifica- ton as to the date for the opening Of the local inspection lane for the second 1888 period.
 Some cars are still being given their first Semi-annual inspection at the Thomaston avenue lane. How ever, many local motorists whose cars were not inspected and ap- proved during the prescribed period have had their registrations 8us- pended for varying periods. Tn ad- dition, they must have their cara approved, and pay q $1 fee instead of the usual g cents.
 Closed July 18th
 The first local inspection period lasted from mid-April until July l6. Even 50, there were several hundred cars in this area whcih were not taken to the inspection lane.
 The second period, after opening in September, will last until the end of the year. Owners of cars not in- spccted during this period will be unable to secure registration re- neWals for 1889 unless they comply with the regulations /

conditions have changed, and how can you show them any better2 I don't know.
 The playground is neat and or dered, like Hollywood movie play ground. Soft green lawn, colored umbrellas, swings ana slides, sand pit in the center, sidewalk around the edge.
 Each child has tricycle.. And sand bucket and shovel. And one of those steel spring horseyback things. A nurse in white uni- form sits in 8 lawn swing.
 The children are on the move all the time. They seem not to be conscious that scores of people are watching them. They talk great deal, but you can't hear from where you stand. They carry the horses around more than they ride on them. They make mud pies. They go talk to the nurse frequent ly. Seldom does one sit down alone and just sit.
 You can't help but be touched by the sight of them in there. Hav- ing seen them before, I was prob- ably less thrilled than most peo- pie. Yet returned for the after noon showing, watched half an hour, and was sorry when the time was up.
 You can travel thousands of miles, and I'll bet not one in a hundred of you will be disappointed in the Quintuplets. The screened window may disappoint you, but the children won't.

 At 9:30 sharp the hospital gates open for half an hour, and the crowd jams in. We string out in two single files, and go through turnstiles at the door of the play ground house. You can hear the children squealing and playing be- fore you get in.
 The playground is horseshoe shaped, with no roof. Sort of like a miniature football stadium, ex- cept that the audience is only one row deep, stands up, looks through windows, and has a roof over It's head.
 The playground is probably 100 feet long, and SO feet wide. You look at the children through or- dinary-sized glass windows, with g screen on the outside. The glass is clear, but the screen in very fine, and is sprayed with a bright alu-

 The Golden Text is from Ephe- sians 5:0: The fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing q Cor. 2:9-1D: But as 1t is written. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searched all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him2 even 50 the things of God knoweth no man. but the Spirit of God"
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: Perfection is not ex- pressed through imperfection. Spirit snot made manifest through matter, the antipode of Spirit. Error is not a convenient sleeve through which truth can be strained. A shining, earthly mortal Is not the reality of Life nor the medium through which truth passes to earth. The joy of intercourse be- comes the jest of sin, when evil and suffering are communicable. Net personal intercommunion but divine law Is the communication of truth, health, and harmony to earth and humanity" (page 72: 17, 26-32).

The story of Ruth is a story of human devotion unexcelled in the annals of literature, sacred or pro- fane.
 The story begins with famine, an unusual circumstance in the goodly land of Canaan, but occasioning Q serious depression in which Elime- lech, farmer of Bethlehem, de- cides to go over into the country of Moab across the Jordan in search of better tlmse. With hib went his wife, Uaomi, and his two sons, Mah- lon and Chiffon.
 The family had not settled long in Moab when Elimelech died, and the two sons marrying, Moabite women, the family seemed rooted in the new homen But 10 years later the two sons died and now Naomi and her two law Orpah and Ruth-wcre facing seri- ous times.
 Naomi, with her husband and her two sons gone, naturally thought Of her old home near Bethlehem, and decided that she would back. Her daughtcrs-in-law went with her to the border of the country, though she urged them not to go with her but to return to their homes and find new husbands. Orpah, devoted but lacking the intensity of Ruth, kissed her mother-in-law farewell; but Ruth resisted every urging that she should go back, and in the famous words, "entreat me not to leave thee," journeyed with her mother-in-law to Bethlehem. Such devotion might have been natural on the part of daughter toward her mother, or on the part of one of the same environment and race toward & beloved friend, but Ruth's devotion-as that of a daughter-in-law leaving her own home land-is remarkable. It is no wonder that such & firm spirit of devotion has found recognition in the sacred writings of the Jews. Possibly in the glorification of Ruth there has been q tendency to forget the worth of Naomi. What a marvellous mother-in-law she must have been to evoke such devotion on the part of two women who had married her sons in @ strange landl We must realize also that in Ruth's fidelity there must have been some- thing more than merely personal loyalty. She must have sensed in Naomi quality of faith that led her to embrace the same religion and to share the same ideals, We need not go Into the latter part of the story of how Ruth gleaned in the fields of Bethlehem after the reapers. and found favor in the eyes of 8 kinsman of her husband, who instructed the reap CTS to leave little more than just the blades of wheat that were missed in harvesting. gufYice 1t to say that the story has happy end-

A. No. The Church has decided nothing dogmatically about the meaning of the six days Aention- ed in Genesis. It is generally &C., ceptcd that the writer of Genesis wished to declare the great fact of the creation of the world, and to lead the Jews to honor the Sab bath day.
 There are several theories held by Catholic theologians as to the meaning of the six days. Some regard the description in Genesis as an allegorical one; others that the act of creating the whole world and all the creatures in 1t took but an instant of time: others that the days" are really epocbs of time: others hold that the days" weer vision, allowed to Moses by God, without any refer ence to time.
 Since the Church does not teach any dogma to the effect that the days were periods of twenty-four hours, or any other specified limit of time. Catholics may hold any of the aforementioned theories.
