WEST SIDERS ASK THREE-MILE ROAD Residents Frame Two Peti tions to Bring Before City Council Soon. Encouraged by the success of the residents of South Twentythird street in securing council's approval of a petition for the concreting of that street under the three mile gravel road law, two more street improvements under the same law are to be presented to council within the near future. One petition calls for a concrete boulevard system in Wes Richmond, the route of which was made public some time ago, and it will pass the home of nearly every county and city official residing in West Richmond. Mayor Robbins and Clerk Bescher have both announced their opposition to this project, because it will advance the tax rate and because it will necessitate the tearing up of some macadam streets which are in very good condition. The second petition to be presented to council will call for the concreting of Sheridan, School, Center and Ridge streets in Fairview, which are in very bad repair. Residents of Sheridan street have agreed to widen that street at their own expense. Wilfred Jessup, attorney for the petitioners, said today that if council orders the two improvements work on them will not begin until late next year so that no increase in the tax levy to meet the expense of their construction will be required until 1916.

First Waterplane on Surface of the Nile River in Egypt

We are now able to put before our readers two pictures of the first waterplane to rest upon the bosom of Old Nile. Mr. McClean in his flight to Cairo had surprised the Delta natives so much that most of them took to their heels and ran for shelter. On arrival at Cairo some preparatory experimental flights were made with a new propeller, and then on January 6 the first waterplane set out on its journey. The event is thus described in "The Egyptian Mail"of January 7: Preacher-Lecturer

Efficiency Aids Church Work

The Rev. P. Marion Simms, who delivered the lecture yesterday afternoon on "The Calf Patch," is the pastor of a $60,000 institutional church in Vinton, Iowa. The Rev. Mr. Simms has made the experiment of applying efficiency principles, which have been so successful in business corporations, to the organizing of a church. Vinton is a town of only 4,000 people and his is one of the seven churches. When he took charge of it seven years ago, it was a typical country town church doing the. typical church work. At the end of the first year, Rev. Simms demanded an assistant. "What in the world do you want with an assistant?" his surprised board asked him. "You aren't more than half busy yourself." "Well," was his sardonic reply, "I know what I want an assistant for. We need one. If I don't know more about running a church than all of you put together, I haven't any business holding down this job. You'authorize me to secure an assistant and I'll guarantee to raise tho funds myself to pay the bill." An assistant he got. During the past year, this lady has helped into the world every child born in the poor families of Vinton. She has nursed the mothers through their illness and done visiting nurse's work wherever needed. Three years ago Rev. Simms' church burned down. Before the ashes were cooled off, he struck his board for a $60,000 institutional church. They threw up their hands in amazement that a man should harbor the foolish delusion that a town like Vinton could stand so elaborate a structure. Simms stood pat and himself raised $45,000 toward it. They have a church that is open every day in the week, that is doing for the town what the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. do for the city. Each New Years' day the cnurch feeds two hundred children. They call it the "Kid's Dinner." Each Christmas, the church furnishes substantial tops to one hundred and fifty poor children. The Rev. Mr. Simms' working organization is as efficient as the corps in charge of a successful business. During the past year they have rescued many Dr. GeiseVs Question Box Question Is fried food always. unhealthy? Answer Yes. Never fry food. It is the quickest of all ways to make "gin liver."

Aso soon as the motor began to work satisfactorily the steersman, Mr. McClean, worked his craft round slowly in a circle until its nose was pointing right in the teeth of the freshly-blowing breeze, and then put on full speed.

Prof. J. W.

Considering the stories I heard on my arrival here about the brutality of the Germans, I am beginning to realize fiction has been disseminated."
