ToDAY's THOUGHT

Besides theology. music IS the
only art capable of affording
peace and joy of the heart like
that induced by the study of the
science of divinity. The proof Of
this is that the Devil, the origina-
tor of sorrowful ~anxieties and rest
less troubles, fees before the
sound of music almost as much as
he does before the Word of God.
This is why the prophets prefer
red music before all the other arts
proclaiming the Word in Psalms
and hymns.
My heart, which is full to over
flowing, has often been solaced
and refreshed by music when
sick and weary.

used and English is spoken
everywhere, although often
with a peculiar information that
makes it difficult to under
stand.
Despite the natural beauty
Of the islands and their ease of
access by air, no effort has
been made to start hordes of
travellers in that direction. It
has been very wisely recog-
nized that only when more
tourist facilities are more ex-
tensively developed, will the
future great increase in tour
ism that is inevitable become
practicable!

Homes Mud-Bound All Sun1me,

A major headache soon will end
for seven home-owners in block
long Hutchins place NV. who
say they have been living on the
brink Of a 'quagmire all summer
because Of slow work by the Dis
trict Highway Department.
It seems that, last June, the
Highway Department began cut
ting through the dead-end street,
which runs south off Macarthur
boulevard.
Since then, the street has been
sea of mud-red midland the
seven home-owners have not been
able to get automobiles to their
garages or even park near their
homes. Each doorstep is lined
with overshoes used by the fam
lilies to wade to their doorways.
Water connections, sewer con-
nections and gas connections have
been severed from time to time
by rampaging bulldozers, and
everybody in the block became
very unfriendly toward the High
way Department.
Rutland Acts Quickly.
The sewer connection to the
home of H. E. Van Gelder, at 4845,
was cut off when the street level
was lowered, and the residents
said sewage flowed into the street
from July until last week.
A letter sent to Health Officer
George c. Ruhland by the resi-
dents brought immediate results,
after complaints to the Highway
Department brought no action,
according to John Monteith, who
lives at 1852.
L. M. Hedgecock, deputy en-
gineer Of streets, said the work
had been difficult in the block be-
cause of unusual drainage condi-

less. the city made the repairs.
He said bulldozer had broken
a street water connection and
water was off in the neighborhood
for number of hours yesterday
before it was fixed.
We've had complaints from the
home e-owners, he said.
Knew 1t Would Be Cut.
Mr.. Monteith said the home
owners have no quarrel with the
highway department for cutting
the street through, even though
it did destroy a beautiful circle
which had been used by the chill
dren for a playground. He said
every one there understood the
street would be cut through some
day.
It's merely what the neighbor-
hood considers the unnecessary
inconvenience and the comedy
of errors" being enacted every day
on the job that brought forth
complaints, he said.
The neighborhood felt that it
was not necessary to have the
quagmire all summer in front of
their homes. A path the residents
had built down through the woods
to stop 9 on the Cabin John
streetcar line also has been out
OF use because the only way to
get to the path is through the
mire, they pointed out. Those
using the carline must get off at

the line.
Anyway, Mr.. Hedgecock said,
everything will be fine in a very
short time-probably within a few

The grading has been finished
and the surfacing should be on by

grading was necessary, he said, to
