THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, 3IONDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1911.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS NOT BBIIIGIHyESULTS Method to Reform Present System in City Debated by Ministers. The Ministerial Association had a conference on Monday morning In regard to the Sunday schools of our city. One third of the people of Richmond attend Sunday school, according to the Rev. Kenworthy. Dr. Huber felt that the Sunday schools are not bringing the results which Sunday school experts claim. Eighty per cent of the pupils show no special interest in their lessons. More than this the people are by them being educated away from the church. The Hev. McNary felt the fact should be recognized that organization does not necessarily create life. It only represents life. The Rev. J. L. Lightbourne, rector of the Episcopal church who gave the principal address had for his thesis the declaration that the Sunday school bears a tremendous burden of responsibility a the training ground for the development of the character of the child. Too often its customs and methods ere poorly aaapted to an effective moral and religious training. Too much time Is taken up in general exercises and various entertainments. We have too little time allowed for instruction, be said. The Sunday school should be a thor ougb going school in regard to its curriculum. Out of a six years trlai of a graded system of Sunday schoof Instruction, the Rev. Lightbourne declared he had found results much more satisfactory than from the uniform system. He said it gives a child something to do. It has a positiveness and a constructiveness that is lacking under the old system. It fosters a desire on the part of the child to go through the entire prescribed course and to receive a diploma.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY JSOBSERVED Business Men and School Children Impressed with Its Importance. "Fire prevention" day was observed in the city today by the various public bodies. Special exercises were held in the public schools at which the pupils were told of the enormous saving to the country that the wiping out of unnecessary fire would bring, and were also told some interesting facts about fire prevention. Several civic clubs are planning to have meetings to observe the day this evening, the Commercial Club especially having planned a program to instruct the business men of Richmond the need of guarding more carefully against Are. Fire drills were held in the grade schools this afternoon. The students were advised to "keep in order, and not to run, because of the danger of stumbling," and were given some practice at learning the value of this advice. Most of the drills were handled smoothly, and the teachers believe now that there would be little danger in taking care of the children in case of a blaze. In the lower grades, some practice drills were held in the morning, so that the little folks would be accustomed to such affairs before the entire schools were given the alarm. A few lively youngsters took advantage of the opportunity by jumping out of first floor windows, and there was better chance of escape through the door than through the window. In the upper grades, pamphlets describing flrefe and their prevention, were read and discussed by the teachers and pupils. At the high school Principal Neff posted some Instructions concerning the subject, on the bulletin board, but no further observance of the occasion was made. The Are in the garage of Dr. Blossom yesterday emphasized the importance of Are drills in public schools. The Commercial Club, which has its regular monthly meeting tonight, has arranged a program dealing with the origin and prevention of blazes. The speaker will endeavor to show that, even though Richmond has comparatively few Ares, many here which could be prevented by a few simple precautions. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

Organization of Pushmobile Owners To Be Effected By Palladium Ballots

GOOD FOR ONE VOTE FOR President of the Richmond Branch of the International Pushmobile Association. FILL IN NAME OF CHOICE ONE NAME ONLY.

Signed

The election of president of the Richmond branch of the International Pushmobile Association, will occupy the center of interest among boys of this city during the present week. Three boys have already been nominated for the office, and more candidates aro expected before the election closes. Nominations may be made by anyone, and should be forwarded to the "Palladium" office, as soon as possible. The lads so far nominated are Clarence Webber, Robert Quigg, and Robert Weed. The foregoing ballot should bo filled out, and either brought or sent to the "Palladium" office. A large number of members for the association have already been secured here, and a thriving institution is the prediction of those who know about TRIAL NEflRS END Wife of Earl Dubois Substantiates Defense. The trial of Earl Dubois, on the charge of burglary, which is being heard by the jury in the Wayne circuit court is slowly dragging to an end. Nothing of general interest was brought out in today's testimony, the case not being reopened until it) o'clock and very little evidence being submitted. Attorneys in the case took up considerable time in wrangling between themselves. At one time Attorney Shiveley who is assisting the state in the prosecution requested Attorney Johnson, counsel for the defense to cease "butting in." Zella Dubois, wife of the defendant, formerly Zella Gordon, who resided at Connersville before her marriage testified that Guy Gunsulia had threatened to separate her and Earl Dubois, if the two were ever married. She also testified that the main reason for Dubois' haste in leaving this part of the country was to get out of reach of Martha Decker, a young girl living at Milton, and who was married today, the witness testifying that Dubois feared the Decker girl would bring charges of paternity against him. HEAD ON FREIGHT WRECK IS FATAL (National News Association) ROCHESTER, N. M., Oct. 9. One man is believed to have been killed and others are known to have been hurt in a head-on collision between freight trains early today between here and the town of Epping. The wreck took place on the Worcester, Nashua & Portsmouth division of the Boston & Maine railroads. Wrecking crews were sent from half a dozen cities along the line. SCANDAL UNEARTHED IN THE NAVY YARDS (National News Association) WASHINGTON. Oct. 9. A big scandal is brewing in the Washington navy yard where navy department has discovered there is approximately $3,000,000 less material than the records call for. Whether the discrepancy is due to graft or faulty bookkeeping will be determined by an investigation instituted today by the secretary of navy Meyer. A sensation was created at the yards and the department offices when this was learned. HAD A HARD SKULL The Baseball Catcher Who Wat the Original Bonshead. Ed Ashenback, for many years a manager of minor league teams, in his book, "Humor Among the Minors," claims to be the originator of the expression "bonehead," which is now, with its synonymous terms of "solid iTorjw "mahogany bean," "concrete dome" and "cement skull," so common in baseball. Ashenback says that when he was managing the Shreveport team of the Southern league some years ago be had a catcher who could hit some, bnt who had the very serious weakness of not being able to gauge a foal ball no matter how easy it was. One day a batter raised a high foal directly over the plate, and the catcher, misjudging It, was hit squarely on top of the head by the descending sphere, which knocked off his mask and bounded away some thirty feet. That night Ashenback finished his supper early and was passing out of the dining room when he happened to walk behind this catcher, who was devouring bis erenlng meal with gusto and enthusiasm. Stopping at the table. Ed passed his hands over the backstop's head, feeling for the bump which he thought would rarely be there on account of the contact with the ball that afternoon. But there was no lamp to be felt. "No wonder, aid Ash. "How could there be a bump? Tour head is solid bone." The deepest filler in P.U.H.. It, la 1.300 feet below the level of the

the pushmobile organization. All lads who own or hope to own a machine, are eligible for membership. Some good times are expected when the association gets well under way. The sport is healthful, and if the proposed plan of staging some races at the Coliseum this winter, works out, the boys will find it an entertaining proposition. Quite a little skill will be required to execute the turns on the wooden floors in the Coliseum, and the local boys should develop into the best pushmobile operators In the state. The organization already has a big branch in Indianapolis where several hundred boys are members, and most of them compete in the races that are held often. The lads there are getting a lot of good exercise from their machines.

NEED OF CHARITY Capt. Deuter Anticipates a Hard Winter. "I look for a much harder winter for 1911 than we had for some years," said Captain Deuter of the local Salvation Army on Monday morning." With the smallness of the wages received by laboring men it is a wonder to me how they make both ends meet." The captain stated that the work of the Army was already beginning in Richmond and he expects a large number of families to ask for aid during the coming winter than ever before. He states that the Elks lodge and the Army probably will work together during Christmas holidays in attempting to make poor families enjoy Christmas Day. He says that the army and the fraternal order co-operated last year, the lodge distributing provisions and the army giving clothes and toys to the poorer classss.

Safe and sane driving at terrific speed feature the 20O mile automobile contest for $12,000 in gold hung up by the Fairmount Prk association. When a hundred and thirty miles had been completed, driver Bergdoll in a Benz car was leading by two minutes, Mulford in a Lozier is second, six seconds ahead of "SAiisnart in a Mercedes. Although the course is recognized as a peculiarly dangerous one, but few very slight mishaps occurred. Nearly a quarter of a million people lined the course. Artificial Eyes. The earliest notice of artificial eyes occurs in a very rare work by the French surgeon Ambroise Pare, entitled "La Methode Curative des riayes et Fractures de la Teste Humaine," Paris, 13C1. Pare gives a description and figures of artificial eyes to be worn in cases where the eyeball has given way and all the humors have escaped. They are to be seg ments of a hollow sphere, made of gold, coated with enamel painted in natural colors. With the exception of the gold they are exactly like the eyes In use at the present time, which nre made wholly of glass. London Note and Queries. Spartacus. Spartacus was a Thracian of noble birth.

( Special invitations have been sent ,' out but the invitation committee.! headed by John K. Gowdy, wants it understood that all Republicans are invited and will be welcome. In regard to this matter James E. Watson, former representative from the Sixth District says: "The reason all Republicans were not sent special invitations was because we did not have sufficient time to get the names of all of them.

Among the speakers will be Vice President James S. Sherman, Representative and former speaker Joseph G. Cannon, former Senator James A. Hemenway, Representative E. D.

NO REPORT FROM THE PATHOLOGIST "I hear people's troubles and hear some sorrowful tales but the worst thing I have had to come to my attention is the giving of the liquor to those three boys which resulted in the death of Young Weber," Police Supt. Gormon said today. Supt. Gormon declared .that the men were to be severely blamed for giving liquor to the youths. Coroner Pierce stated this afternoon that as yet he had not received a report from Indianapolis where the stomach of young Weber was sent for analysis.

BICYCLE RIDER COLLIDED WITH HORSE

Robert Quigg, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Quigg, of South Twelfth street, was seriously injured this afternoon at about one o'clock, while riding his bicycle, through a collision with a mail wagon driven by Henry Weisbrod at the corner of South Ninth and A streets. Young Quigg was riding fast on the left side of South Ninth street and turning east on A met the mail wakon turning north on Ninth. He was thrown on his back and his face cut up and badly lacerated by the horse's foot. Unconscious he was carried into the home of Mr. Thomas Porter by Mrs. Porter who witnessed the accident. Mrs. Porter secured a physician who, after dressing the boy's wounds, took him to the home of his parents, who had, in the meantime, ben notified and who were with the the lad soon after the accident occurred. While no serious developments are expected, young Quigg suffered intensely from a partial fracture of the jaw and the,, severe bruises sustained. A Get Beautiful Quick Scheme.. "If you have a hurry call to be beautiful without the time to work up to the permanent affair." said Mildred Holland, "here's your chance. First wash your face with warm water and almond meal. Make a sort of paste of those things and wash off with warm water and dry lightly. Then apply your skin food lest there beany reaction from the drastic treatment to follow. Now take a piece of lemon and rub it over the face till the skin smarts. Rinse again, this time with water that is gradually brought down from cool to cold. You are then ready for the final ceremony, nold a good sized piece of Ice in a towel and Iron your face with it Then look In the glass. This has been found an absolutely reliable recipe before asking for the coveted new bonnet." New York World. Canvasbacks on the Wing. If you have any doubt as to the swiftness of the canvasback on the wing where business calls just fire at the leader in a string some time when you have the chance. Duck shot when propelled by the proper quantity of powder travels pretty quickly itself, hut If your charge brings down any member of that string of ducks at all it will be the fifth or sixth bird back of the leader, and I'll bet a farm on it "If you would have a chance of dropping the leader you will have to aim not less than ten feet ahead of him. Then he will more than likely run plump against your shot When he drops it will be a quarter of a mile or so farther on, for he can't stop short of that distance even after he is dead." New York Sun. His Striking Feature. He was butler at the British embassy, and he was very English. He was at the telephone, and the society editor of a Washington newspaper was asking him about a distinguished Englishman who had just arrived as a guest at the embassy.
