Be sometimes felt that he would be willing to ac-cept blindness for months for a year even at another time, If only on that day be could meet his people face to face, his eyes reading their eyes, and all reflecting their gratitude for the realization of their hopes. In many ways, bis misfortune bad come at a critical time for the min-ister. The building of a new church, designing of a new parsonage, dis-posal of the old property, all entailed a great deal of careful figuring. It waa hard to figure finances tbrongb the eyes of committees, and boards, and daughters. Approximately two thonsand dollars was still unpledged on the chnrcb debt It had been bis dream that on the Sabbatb of the dedication, bis people, of their own free will, should make np that amount calling the chnrcb a tree church, con-secrated to the service of Red Tbrnsh without encumbrance. Be sighed a little. The day of rest, In a parsonage, affords scant leisure for sisterly re-criminations, and Ginger was forced to forego her plan to subject Miriam to a bitter grilling on the subject of sentiment In general. By nine-thirt-the girls were on band for Sunday school, leaving their father the entire house for a half-hon- r of silent medi-tation and prayer. In the Interval while the classes were reassembling for dismissal Miriam ran across to walk wltb him the short distance to the church, where be usually con-ducted a brief review of the lesson. Sunday school was followed by the formal morning worship, where, as there wss no pew system In Red Thrush, the girls sat where they liked with their especial friends. From a corner far back on the right side, Ginger's heart went out tenderly, as It did every Sunday morning, to her She Proceeded Calmly Down the Stairs, Even Strutting a Little. would come to blm. Marjory dropped on her knees beside the bed, and burled ber bright face In his shoulders, laughing, with tears In the laugbter. "Father I got It It was unan-imous." "1 had a sort of a vague Idea maybe you got It" he said, teaslngly, but wltb tender warmth, transferring ber from his shoulder to the curve of bis arm, where he held her closely. "It Just seemed to me there couldn't pos-sibly be such a racket without some prize to show for It." "Father, give me your hand. Into the outstretched palm she pressed five small round pieces, gold, fifty dollars In all, and curled bis fingers tightly upon the treasure. "Oh, my dear" he began protest-Ingly- .

Rear Collisions Caused by Locking of Wheels Lack of proper understanding of a certain situation causes many rear-en- d collisions. The driver applies the brakes, starts to slide and discovers that be cannot steer to the right or left so as to avoid striking the cur ahead. If he could stand out on the street and watch his car during this process he would see that the Inability to steer Is due merely to. the fact that, the front wheels have locked. They slide straight ahead regardless of whether they are cut sharply to the right or left. The remedy Is to release the brakes the Instnnt the car won't steer. It may be safer to be able to steer to one side than to stop.

"The car owner who takes his fam-ily out for a holiday drive, and seeks the country roads to escape city con-gestion, generally has bis day mined by motorists who refuse to drive their cars at the pace set by all others In a traffic line," said Mr. Goalson. "It may be that these creepers are sincere In the belief that they are careful drivers determined to avoid being party to an auto crash, but, as a matter f fact, proved by accident statistics, they are continually Invit-ing collision and possible Injury. "When a creeping car delays all automobiles behind It, then the other drivers begin to seek opportunity to speed by. Motorists coining from the other direction do not like this. Some of them refuse to slow op. The result Is a crash that Includes; as a rule, the car of the 'creeper.'" Flavor of First Wife's Cooking Found at Last Ing kept Sadie on her toes all day.
