fired when he pursued them. Two
girls got out of the car and es-
capped by mingling in the quickly

schoolchild since 14-year-old Mary
Hogan of 5545 Underwood avenue
was killed at Grand River and
American avenue, Oct. "a, 1899.

Bennett sobbed his story to
Assistant Prosecutor Joseph L.
Bannigan:

ing. I blew my whistle to stop
IL when IL was still quite a ways
down Fourteenth, about a half
a block away. 1t neither swerved
nor slowed down. / saw Maurice

the east curb.
THE car was coming quite
fast and did not slacken for my
whistle. IL was just q couple of
feet from me when it hit the
boy. He was thrown quite a
way down the street and the car
then hit a parked car.

started running north on Four

houses north ofsthe stores he cut
through to the alley, jumped a
fence and ran north.

GIRLS CARRIED BOOKS
Peach said he saw two girls get
out of the car with school books
under their arms. One of them.
he said, had on a long brown coat.
Boldt saw Bennett going after
one of the youths and took after
the other but lost him after a
block and a half chase. The boy.

wore a maroon lumber jacket with
leather sleeves. was about 5 feet,
6 inches tall, and had brown hair,

Bennett described the boy he
followed as wearing a bright green
jacket, had blond hair. was about
10 years old. 5 feet 8 or 10 inches
tall and weighing about $50
pounds. He wore no hat.
A broken rear-view mirror in
the car, police believe. may have
been caused by one of the occu-
pants hitting his head in the
abrupt stop when the automobile
smashed into the parked car. They
believe the occupant may be
identified by a cut or bruise on
the head.
Fingerprints taken from the car

identification If any of the joyrid-

defense contracts. IL became prob
able that the state mediation
board would declare the union sub

threatened strike would involve
public interest"
In a letter TO Chairman II. A.
Mills of the NLRB. Representa-
tive O'Brien said the calling of an
election would tend TO prevent the
strike. He said further time to
obtain reports from Detroit rep
resentatives would not be justified
in the emergency. The election
was asked by the UAW-CIO.

riety Of tastes, as any in the union.
For little more than gasoline
money and the price Of picnic
lunch, there are natural wonders
within a days round-trip journey
from central Ohio equal to anything
in the world. The Ohio river COM
pares favorably with many a his
toric stream Of worldwide note.
Europeans who have visited the
Pomeroy bend area have compared
it to the Rhine and the Danube in
beauty. Another section worth
visiting and too little-known to
Ohioans is the Little Switzerland"
of southeastern Ohio which dupli-
Gates some of the best Old World
offerings.
Within less than 100 miles of Co.
lumbus are, just for example, the
famed Hooking cave region, various
works of the moundbuilders with
their wealth of historic associa-
tions, Schoenbrunn with it's link to
pioneer days and the Zane caverns.
Ohio abounds in fresh-water lakes
for fishing, boating and inexpensive
resort life. On the northern bouni
Diary is Lake Erie with a plentitude'
of attractions-the summer-long
chautauqua programs at Lakeside,
the storied Put-in-Bay region, re-
sorts and summer camps Down at
Cincinnati the traditional summer
zoo opera series still holds out it's
to music-lovers with some
of the leading singers in that field

Even those who don't want to go
as far as some of these places will
find amusement and relaxation close

VACATIONS AT HOME

A common conversational ey-
change these days is, when do you
take your vacation and where are
yGu going?" and the reply, ''Oh,
most any time. I'm not going any
where"
1t often turns out that the per-
son questioned is going to take al
annual holiday right here in Ohio,
two weeks free time actually and
literally going nowhere. And loyal
Ohioans, pereeptive of the attrac-
tions of their home state and ap'
preciative of their quality and va
riety will, if they stop to think, be
indignant at the implication that a
vacation spent-relatively speaking
at home should be dismissed with
a deprecatory phrase including the
word nowhere
The truth is that, except just for
the idea of travelling thousands of
miles and spending sizeable sums a
vacation of an eminently satisfac-
tory sort can be had without leav-
ing Ohio and at much less expense.
This year with commodity prices
soaring, the nation facing a critical
and uncertain future in which high
er taxes are the only sure thing and
general feeling of disquiet in the
air due to the war, there are un-
doubtedly many Ohioaps who will
be inclined to go conservative and
stick close to home. 1t is satis-
faction for them to know that Ohio
comes about as close to being the
ideal vacation state, for a wide va

The Responsibility of the Church
Regarding Beverage Alcohol, Cor
5:9-13; Titus 2:1-8, for Sunday
July 20:
The first section of our lesson
text consists of instructions con-
cerning the attitude of the church
.oward members who wilfully sin.
In the second section Paul instructs
Titus concerning the exhortatlons
and instructions which he in turn
should give to the church in Crete.
V. g. II wrote unto you in an
epistle not to company with forni-
Gators" Evidently Paul's first let
ter denouncing fornication was lost,
and so he now reminds them Of this
common sin even in the church. The
church is an institution that must
be pure else it is failure.
V. 10. "Yet not altogether with
the fornicators of this world, or
with the covetous, or extortloners,
or with idolaters: for then must ye
needs go out of the world" Chris
ton people are in the world but not
of the world. To help the sinner
there needs to be some association
with them but always for their
good.
V. II. "But now have I written
unto you not to keep company, IL
any man that is called brother be
a fornicator, or covetous, or idola-
ter, or railer, or a drunkard, or
an extortioner; with such an one
no. not to eat" Here is suggested
church discipline Of the severest
kind as the reference is to a broth
er, who, of course, is member OF
the church. Note that this class is
numerated so there can be no mis-
take as to who is to be excluded.
Among others no place is allowed
for a drunkard in the church.
V. 12. For what have | to do
to Judge them also that are with
out? Do not ye judge them that
are within?' The answers to these
questions are found in the next
verse. God will take care Of the
work of judgment for those not IN
the church but for good influence
the church must judge its own
members. 1t is a fact that small
church with members above the re-
proach of men is greater power
than large church with sinful
mem mbers.
v. L. "But speak thou the things
which became sound doctrine PAU
is addressing Titus, to whom he mas
entrusted the care of the church at
Crete. Sound doctrine and sound
morals go together.
v. 2. "That the aged men be
sober, grave, temperate, sound IN
faith, in charity, in patience. In
this and the following verses PAU
teaches, '.If men profess to love
God, they must demonstrate their
fidelity in good works; and II they
do demonstrate such fidelity, they
are led by the Spirit Of God, into
true knowledge of his teachings.
Note how that the aged men are
first thought of, for they are the
fathers, the ones of special leader

ENGINEERING POPULAR
WITH NEW FRESHMEN

The current shortage of engineers
in the United States is causing
many high school graduates to take
up studies in that field this fall, ac-
cording to Ohio State University Of
ficials.
Evidence Of the trend is seen in
the fact that engineering enrolment
at Ohio State this summer is 10
percent higher than last summer,
where most other areas have some
what smaller enrollments than a
year ago. The figure does not in
clude 200 persons now studying at
Ohio State in non-credit engineer
ing courses.
The U. S. government is encour-
aging the study of engineering, and
federal selective service officials
have authorized local draft boards
to defer engineering students with
two years Of better-than-average
work.
Ohio States new freshman class
will assemble on September "a, and
applications for admission will be
received until that time.

RIVER MUSEUM GROWTH
SURPRISING

It was only last March that the
River Museum unit of Campus Mar
tius, for the organization Of which
the Sons and Daughters of Pioneer
Rivermen have the credit, was for
mally opened to the public. On
that day SO much fine exhibition
material had been assembled and
advantageously placed that the
praise. Active interest in it was 50
great that even at that time pre-
dictions were made that larger
quarters would become necessary.
Now the museum, though only
four months old, is receiving rec
ords and relics Of the packet boat
days, which are gone forever, in
such quantities that much of the
material must be placed in storage
until display space is found for it.
1t is coming from near and far. Pub
lie interest is equally encouraging,
the museum being magnet for
many people. On Wednesday the
Steamer Gordon c. Greene landed
here with $50 tourists from ten
states All of them visited the
museum. In general all Campus
Martius visitors desire to see the
river unit exhibits. In it they find
many things that they will come
across nowhere else in such full ar
ray.
1t is the ambition Of the Sons and
Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen to
make this museum the "most COM
prehensive collection of steam
boatania' in existence" as it is the
first public display of it's kind in
the country. Prospects of doing so
are very bright, as interest is
spreading more and more widely
and additional relics are being con-
tributed or loaned. But it must
have much more floor space than is
now available in the Campus Mar
thus building. The best way to pro-
vide it, it seems to us, would be for
the state to build an addition to be
devoted exclusively to the river eX-
hibits. 1t would be in line with
the Ohio policy of recent years to
preserve and make available to the
public the relics of earlier periods.
Probably this matter will be one
of the major subjects of considera-
ton when the Sons and Daughters
of Pioneer Rivermen hold their an
nual meeting in Marietta, on Sun
day, August 31.-Marietta Times.

ship and influence.
V. 8. "The aged women likewise,
that they be in their behaviour as
becometh holiness, not false accus-
ers, not given to much wine, teach
ers of good things" Evidently the
women were to be regarded espec-
iallX holy with high ideals. But
when woman dabbles in sin, such
as drinking beverage alcohol, she
sinks lower than man for she has
descended from a higher height
than man.
VS.. 4, 5. THAT they may teach
the young women to be sober. to
love their husbands, to love their
children, to be discreet, chaste,
keepers at home, good, obedient to
their husbands, that the word of
God be not blasphemed." Evident
ly the social practice at the time
this letter was written was of such
a character as to call for positive in
struction on virtues and qualities
of good women. AS mothers go, so
goes society.
v. 6. Young men likewise ex-
hort to be sober minded" Self
young man can seek after. The
drink habit weakens and often de-
stroys the power of self-control,
therefore, no young man or any one
else should ever take risk of los
ing the most precious part of his
powers.
VS.. 7, s. "In all things shelving
thyself pattern of good works; in
doctrine shelving uncorruptness,
gravity, sincerity, sound speech that
can not be condemned. The rea-
son for this exhortation is found in
closing phrase, "That he that is of
the contrary part may be ashamed,
having no evil things to say of you" !"
So live that your worst critic will
have a hard time to make a case
against you.

Members of the Bethany Luther
an church, a congregation of the
United Lutheran church in Cleve-
land, Ohio, have just completed a
hand-written copy of the New Tes-
lament Almost every member OF
the church wrote at least one page
of the volume. "Our Bible may not
compare with the beautiful works
of the medieval artists" said the
Rev. j. H. L. Trout, pastor OF the
church, "but it means a great deal
to u.s." More than 450 people con-
tributed to the making OF the book.
The only machine made part is the
Lutheran seal stamped on the hand
fooled leather cover. The first chap
ter of each book was written by
some person selected for skillful
penmanship. Subsequent chapters
were copied by those less proficient.
At the beginning of each chapter is
an illuminated initial letter and
there is a separate page of art work
introducing each hook. A pro-
fessional artist painted the title
page, which includes the crown and
the cross, the open Bible and the
facade of the church.
Responding to an almost unprec-
edented message, the American
Bible Society recently shipped A.
600 English New Testaments to

prisoners, and this request is based
on one of the very few communica-
tions that have refugees and pris-
oners in Europe, 5000 Bibles and

guages have been shipped by the
Bible Society and, for Germans held
prisoners in Canada by Britain, ~
900 Gospels in German.

The Union Avenue Methodist
church of Alliance, o., has organ
ized a committee, the business Of
which is to assist boys of the church
who have been called to serve their
country in the war emergency. The
members of the committee are men
who are informed concerning the
rights Of dgaftees, and who are able
to assist in many spiritual matters.
A program for keeping in touch
with the boys in camp has been de-
veloped, and the committee also re-
ceives money from those who are
desirous of assisting conscientious
objectors in paying the $35 per
month which they must pay if they
enter an alternative service camp
The committee makes no effort to
influence the boys on the subject of
their attitudes toward the war, but
undertakes to assist in any way
that churchmen can help.
There is a growing religious
movement among the masses of the
Dutch people. Churches are filled
as never before; the Bible and 9TH
er religious books are increa singly
popular. The struggle against Naz-
ism has taken on a religious colora-

seen that genuine freedom can only
be rooted in religion.
Two billion copies of the Bible in
1000 languages, have been issued
since the invention of the printing
