e PREPAREDNESS IS THE DUTY OF US ALL Bishop Williams ll‘ells of the Features of Episcopal Con- ference at St. Louis. CLASSES IN RELIGION Important steps toward the de- velopment of a better citizenship were taken at the /general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church, ‘Which concluded its sessions on last Saturday, according to Bishop Arthur L. Williams, who has returned to R Cmaha after a three-weeks' visit to St. Louis, in attendance on the con- vention, “Americanism in its finest aspects,” he said, “was the principal subject 4 of the pastoral letter of the house of bishops, read by Bishop Brent of the Philippines at the final session of the convention. This message, which/ later will be read from all the pulpits of the faith, stated our belief that preparedness is a duty, but that it will fall short of its de- sired effect ‘unless all the produc- tive forces of manhood are shaped into social order and righteousness and there is preparedness of char- acter.’ “This ‘preparedness of character’ is volved in the plan of religious edu- lation prepared by the commission on religious education as a result of nine years’ study. Based on the most modern pedagogical methods, this sys- tem of education looks to the develop- ment in the church of the best pos- sible type of citizen, through the proper inculcation of spiritual truths.” Perhaps the most ingpiring features of the convention, theiNebraska prel- ate declared, were in the joint sessions ! of the two houses in their considera- tion of this subject. “Some of the finest addresses I have ever heard in my life,” he stated, “were given in the discussion-of this, topic.” Modern Education. As president of the board of trus- tees of Brownell Hall, the local school for girls, Bishop Williams has for years been in closest touch with modern educational problems. He feels that great progress has been “made by the church in its application of pedagogical science to the teach- ing- of religious fruths. “The church’s plan of education,” he stated, “comprehends classes for adults, as well as instructions for children of all ages. This work for adults was initiated in Omaha last year, and 110 men and women were registered for instruction. are conducted by a faculty consist- ing of five clergymen, with examina- tions and tests sych as would be giv- en in a curriculum of a secular na- ture. “Already this year, I understand, | there have been enrolled as many students as were in attendance during 4he whole of last year.” Miss Euphemia Johnson, principal of Brownell Hall, was also in at- tendance on the general convention, and was among the interested listen- ers at the sessions conducted by the commission on religious education. Flivver' Ride Makes Harper Tatk in Sleep Chief Yeoman Guy Stoner, J. B. Zimmerman and Frank Harper of the local navy recruiting station have just completed an unique tour of Nebras- ka advertising the navy. Stoner was advance man, traveling in princely style in his flivver, while the other two came a few days later by train. The government bought the gasoline for the Lizzie and gave the men $1.75 per diem. . While direct results were not very great the tour stirred up widespread P y interest, says Stoner, and letters are % being received daily at the local re- L/ cruiting office asking further infor- mation. A large influx of farmer boys to the navy is predicted as-a result of the trip. The boys say they had enough of it. They figure they talked to about 15,- 000 people. They got so that they 7 dreamed about the navy. } “Last night,” said -Stoner, {“I was awakened, and Harper, who rooms N with me, was sitting up in bed talking fi in his sleep. 4 “I tell you, boys,’ he was saying, ‘the navy is the finest place in the world for a young fellow to work. You get good pay considering every- thing; you get experience, and you see a lot of the world” He was wav- ing his hands around, gesticulating to beat the band. I think he'll recover ] all right” Autoists Glad Gretna Cops Quit the Watchful Waiting Municipal *and county officials at Gretna have promised to “lay off.” That is, they have tacitly promised not to “pinch” quite so many alleged speeders along the Omaha, Lincoln and Denver highway as they have been nabbing. So the word has gone out to Omaha people that they may resume travel through Gretna. i Early this fall this campaign of . “nipping”’ the tourist flared so vio- lently all around Gretna that motor- ists were told to avoid that road. The road officers there arrested from nine to a dozen autoists a day. That was g when the autoists from Omaha' were i going to the state fair at Lincoln, Randall K. Brown came back from there one day pale with the ekperi- 0 ence he had had, and still nervous 3 from his narrow escape. In fact, he ,5 missed being picked up because there were so many autos ahead of his that 3 had to be picked up first, there were | 4 not officers enough to go around. P Nevertheless, Randall brought back the news that hawks of the law were ( lying in wait along that trail. The ) f Omaha Automobile club and. the good roads committee of the Commercial club also took the matter up, and the Lincoln Commercial club got much excited about the matter. Now the road to Gretna is declared safe. ! Boston Man Impressed i With Wealth of the State Edgar J. Rich of Boston has been in Omaha for same days visiting with his_uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. A, P. Tukey. Mr. Rich has visited twen- ty-eight states in the last month, but found none better than Nebraska. He was greatly impressed with the gen- eral prosperify of Nebraska and [ Omaha, and especially with the v abundance of money he fouud here available for legitimate loaning pur- poses, s Courses- WEDNESDAY, ALL REGORDS FOR LIVE STOCK BROKEN Records for Receipts of Cattle and All Kinds of Live Stock On Omaha Mart Smashed.

It doesn’t attempt to prohibit the USE of liquors or beer—the men who framed it, themselves say that IT WASN'T INTENDED TO. If this “joker” Prohibition Amendment carries— YOU MAY DRINK ALL YOU WANT, but you must BUY from a dealer or manufacturer OUTSIDE OF NEBRASKA.
