Los Angeles, Cat. The ceremony was performed by the pastor, Father Frank A. Roell, and the witnesses were Bernard Maag, Jr., and Miss Henrietta Maag, brother and sister of the bride. The full ritual of the church was used, and this was followed by a lo" mass without music.

UNIVERSAL PEACE (Continued from Page One.) ism, and the struggle led by Oliver Cromwell which laid deep and fast in the life of Anglo-Saxon people the principle of democracy; these he described as the great pivotal points on which the progress of civilization has turned. "And we are now," he said, "in" the midst of another great era of transformation. We of this day are standing in one of the great high lights of universal history. A new thought is stealing over the world, a thought that is destined to revolutionize private and social life of man." "What is man? Man is a four-sided being. On one side he is an animal with a body the same in most respects as that of the bruite. On the second side, he is a mind. The animals share to a certain extent in this endowment. On the third side, he has emotions. Into this region also the brutes can come to a limited degree. It is on the fourth side man as a spiritual being that he stands unique and pre-eminent in the world. It is by means of his soul that he has conceived of God end of universal fraternity and he alone of all things that live upon the earth is endowed with a share. This is the age of the soul, the age eminently given over to the fruits of the spirit of man. Defines New Thought. "This new thought is the higher nationalism. There are some things in which we have not excelled the ancients. We have never written a bet ter book than the Bible. We have never created better statuary than the Venus de Milo. We have never erected finer buildings than did the P.omans. But there are some things in the realm of social science in which we have excelled all the peoples who have gone before us. "America is now seeking the answers to two questions: Can democracy succeed? Am I my brother's keeper? In no other country is more research being made into the root of political life than in this country. Can democracy succeed? It is not possible fully to imagine the trefinding a major part of it devoted to the study of this problem. You can't read any political platform without findin ga major part of it devoted to the questions of -social reform. 'Old ege, accident insurance, child labor, pauperism these will remind you of the great and critical problems with which we are now undertaking to deal. I say 'We.' I do not say 'the government.' We are the government. The tyrannical French king was able to say, 'I am the state." You are able to say 'I am America.' The Old Query. " 'Am I my brother's keeper?' It was a murderer who asked that question in the first place and it is still the case that the man who answers 'No' is a murderer. "I have great hopes that our women will give us splendid assistance in working out these social problems. For fifteen years I have been a consistent advocate of woman suffrage. We can't have a nation wholly free if one-half of our people prevents the other half from voting. Every argument I have ever heard against woman suffrage is an insult to a man's mother, or wife, or daughter. The church, the school and philanthropy are already in the hands of women and it seems there is no limit to the services they can render. - "The new thought of our age is t ringing about a new internationalism. We are beginning to realize that Paul Fpoke the truth when he said that 'God has made of one blood all peoples in the earth.' The forces that are bind

ing the peoples of the earth together are tremendous and irresistible. Growth of Movement. "Take Socialism for instance. In 1883 Karl Marx died, an obscure and comparatively unknown man in London. His great life work had been to write the book, "Capital," in which was unfolded a new economic idea. In 1889, six years after his death, there were but 298 members in the Socialist party in the United States. In 1912, almost a million men voted the Socialist ticket in this country. There are over three million Socialists in Germany and in the whole world more than thirty millions are pledged to Socialism. The Socialists carry a red flag, not because it is a symbol of destruction but because human blood is red and because the blood in the veins of all men everywhere is the same color. I am not here as a propagandist of the Socialistic theory. And I am not giving you my opinion about the Socialist dream, but I am calling your attention to this as one of the symptoms of the new interest in social welfare. "There is still living in a Russian village a little doctor who established the new language Experanto. Ten million people are now speaking that language. , Some of these days, we will have a universal language and that will do more than we can Imagine to break down the walls between nations. "In the city of Rome is the International Institute of Agriculture. This was founded by a Californian for the. purpose of studying the price of food in the world. Forty-nine governments are participating in it and its head is now in Washington arranging for an

international convention. International Religion. "We are even cherishing a hope for an international religion. I believe that a combination of the essential principles of the Old Testament and the New would give us a religion that will be acceptable by the best minds of men in every country of the world. A man's religion is not known by the kind of church he goes to but by the kind of life he leads. "So strong are the forces and influences that make for the universal brotherhood of man that not even this European war will be able to hold them back. The artillery of the European war is directed against the cross of Christianity and the emblems of modern civilization. Some people say this is good business. They say the work of reconstruction will give employment to thousands of men. Good lor business! If that sort of thing is good for business, why can't we blow up a few cities every summer in order to give unemployed men a job. Why can't we blow them up while people are at the seashore. That will give us business. Blows Up Fallacy. "Some people have argued that prep aration for war is a guarantee of peace. This present exhibition of hu man shambles is the most decisive explosion of that fallacy imaginable. The preparation for war is a suggestion of war. "My friends, there is no need for any such method as this to settle the difficulties between nations. The intelligence of the world in the twenti eth century is equal to building up an international court where differences can be settled by appeal to law. I believe that after this war is decided, no autocrat will ever again be able to rule ever the destinies of Europe. Nations will be more willing to listen to arguments for limitation of armament. I do not believe xhat the common people will ever again consent to such an orgy of killing. In the past, the rule has been in war that the soldiers are killed and kings are heroes. The people are getting tired of that. This war will be the death of war. But whatever the outcome, let us ever remember that God still lives and that always in the alembic of his wonderful providence out of evil arises good." We want 100 bushels rye. Will pay 70c per bushel. Omer G. WTielan, the Feed Man. FIGHT NEAR DINANT BY LEASED WIRE. BRUSSELS, Aug. 17.

TRAINING TO KEEP BOYSJKOUIITRY Committee From State Education Board Requires Teaching of Agriculture. A committee appointed by the state board of education settled finally Saturday the amount of vocational work which will be given in township high schools of more than two teachers. A solution is being sought to keep farmer boys on the farm. The result is that agriculture will be a more important factor in the schools and the investigation being made of the quail fications of county agricultural high schools will be pushed forward. The committee consists' of Mr. Williams, Dr., W. F. Book of the vocational committee of the state board, Z. T. Smith of Purdue, A. O. Neal, state high school inspector, Lee Driver, superintendent in Randolph county and P. T. Martin, superintendent in Hendricks county. It was determnied to abandon the plan of the. state board of placing a minimum of two hours a week vocational work consisting of sewing, cooking and agriculture and give only one hour a week, stretching the one year course over two or three years. The teaching of agriculture will be made compulsory if possible to replace woodwork for boys. The committee believes the teaching of woodwork or other mechanical trades is driving the farmer boys to the city and the courses Bhould be shaped to keep the farmer boys on. the farm. Give More Credits. Instead of allowing two credits for the work as the state board arranged, four credits will be given. The committee discussed the relation of the schools to the fact that a large per cent of farmers' children who go to high school leave it with the determination to quit farm life. It is believed that the teaching of classics and mechanical trades in place of agriculture and kindred subjects can be partially blamed for this condition. At present a fight is going on in the

committee to arrange for county agricultural high schools between the county superintendents who are mem- j bers and the representatives of the ' state board of education. The state board members want the qualifications of the schools to be high enough to prevent counties from having more than one school. The superintendents want the qualifications lower so that the expense will not be prohibitive. It is believed by the committee that such a high school would be attended largely by the young men and boys who Are now leaving school in the grades because the high school courses are not fitted to their needs. PLAYGROUND FUND MAY DEMAND TAX INCREASE IN CITY r ' - ' ' ----- r Worjks Board Faces Problem of Providing Money for Their Operation Since the Schools Have No Power. Members of the board of public works were today made acquainted with the fact that under an act passed by the last legislature the civil city of Richmond, if playgrounds for children are to be maintained in Richmond, must meet the expense of their maintenance, although the control of playgrounds rests with the school city or the board of health. The law in question provides that in cities of the second, third and fourth class playgrounds may be maintained by a special levy of not less than one cent nor more than two cents, made by the civil city. If this levy is not made then no funds are available for ! such purposes for an appropriation cannot be provided in the city budget without the levying of the special tax. The school city has no authority to levy a tax for this purpose. Mayor Robbins, when informed of the provisions of this law promptly declared that he was not in favor of raising the tax rate at this time for any reason, but finally approved the plan when informed that the school city tax rate was to be reduced next year from 91 cents to 90 cents, so that in the event the civil city tax rate is increased one cent there will not be, in reality any increase in the general taxes of the city. Bond Sees Way. Citv Attorney Bond expressed the opinion that it might be possible to ! provide an additional one cent civil city tax levy to meet the expense of maintaining playgrounds without increasing the civil city's tax rate, which is now 1.03 cents for general purposes and 7 cents for the sinking fund, a total tax rate of $1.10. He suggested that the rate for general purposes be reduced to $1.02, the 7cent sinking fund levy be maintained and the 1 cent playgrounds levy provided, making a total tax rate of $1.10. With the reduction of 1 cent on the school city tax rate, under the plan suggested by Mr. Bond, the taxpayers of Richmond would enjoy a net reduction in tax of one cent Other city officials, however doubt NO LOOKING BACK IN RICHMOND

New Evidence Constantly Being Published. Since the long succession of Richmond reports were first published in the local press there has been no looking back. Richmond evidence continues to pour in, and, better still those whose reports were first published many years ago, verify all they said in a most hearty and unmistakable way. Read the experience of Miss F. Hamilton of 226 North Eighth street. hhe says: "My back was very lame and I felt worse in the morning and also when I caught cold.

These are days and nights of anxiety for Queen Wilhelmina, who is frequently in consultation wih her ministers. She is determined Holland shall stay at peace. In a proclamation she declared she regrets the general prostration of industry and calls upon all with means to assist the needy. She suggested a general benevolent committee.

the practicability of Bond's plan for they pointed out that the civil city rate of $1.08 for general purposes was barely enough to provide for the operating expenses of the city and that a reduction of one cent in this rate would be impossible. They favored adding one cent to the city tax rate, making it $1.11, and cutting 1 cent off the school city rate. Not for a minute did any of the city officials advocate no appropriation for playgrounds, which are regarded as essential, but they agreed with Superintendent Giles of the public schools when he declared that the law requiring the civil city to maintain the playgrounds was a very foolish one. The matter will be reported to council this evening. Last year the council neglected to levy for playgrounds and as a result the school board this year had to secure the permission of the state board of accounts to use school funds to maintain them this year. This permission does not apply to next year, however.

DRY

Dr. Geisets Question Box After each- of her discussions on health questions. Dr. Geisel will open up a question box during which any person may ask whatever questions he wishes about the problems of disease and health.' The questions and answers this morning were as follows: Question Win women help to make and enforce law against segregated e istrlcta and other social vices if they get the ballot? -. Answer Tea. they certainly wilL Question Can laws against these things be made to work? Answer Von cant make men and women good by law. That is impossible, 'ihere would be no need for religion if we could do that. But we can do all we can to deliver them from evil and to protect them against foot-falls. It a cripple is coming down the street and a hole lies before him in the sidewalk, we can cover up that hole to keep him from falling in and do that much for his welfare. We

don't cure him of being a cripple but we do help some. Question Will laws, if enacted, be enforced and can they be enforced unless we have the right kind of men in office? Answer No. And you can't elect the right kind of men either unless you have the right kind on hand. The mothers of the country have got to produce the right kind of men before you can elect them and it begins to look as if we would be short of men who are the right men if we aren't more careful. We have got to breed up a better stock of human beings before we can have, better laws and get them enforced. Question Are tuberculosis persons unfit for marriage?. Answer No. You cannot transmit the tubercle bacillus. That was agreed pin at the International Tuberculosis Congress. No babe was ever born with tuberculosis. The reason that whole families get it is because they continue to live. in the same environment.
