BIBLE STUDY BY 1
PRESBYTERIANS
| Ir. Smith Will Hold The Second Of
l His Scries Of Lectures Tomorrow
Morning On “Life Of Christ”
It is quitg* certain that all who
heard that highly instructive lecture,
or rather informal talk on "The Bible
as a Whole," last Sunday morning at j
10 o'clock in the Presbyterian |
Church auditorium, will be in their
places at tfle same hour promptly to
; morrow.
Dr. Smith will give the second of
the series on instructions on the Bible
tomorrow, and his topic will be "The
Life Of Christ." No student of the
Bible can afford to miss this instruc
tion which will prove highly inter
esting, entertaining and instructive.
These two lectures are prefacing
the course on the i?ew Testament, to
begin with the Gospel of Matthew on
the first Sunday in November. The
class closes in time to permit any who'
desire to attend service at their own
church. The opportunity to hear Dr.
Smith on these Bible instructions Is
one that comes only once in a life
lime, and the church auditorium
should be crowded at 10 o’clock to
morrow morning.

making an inventory of all surplus
foods, blankets and other commodities
with a view to the sale of a portion oi
it to the public in co-operation with
Secretary Daniels disclosed this to
ihe Army Quartermaster Retail Stores
day. “My feeling is," he said, “that
we should keep a supply ahead for six
months. This covers everything.”
Reminded that 9,000.000 pounds of
sugar held by the navy is approxi
mately a six months’ supply, Mr. Dan
iels said: "We may sell some of the
sugar, reducing the reserve to live
months or a little less. We do not
want to seem to be hoarding any
! thing."

CLASH TODAY ON
A HEAVY FIELD

ST. JOHN’S LOOK FOR
HARD GAME AT CHESTER
Navy vs. Bucknell College.
St. John’s v*. Penn Military College.'
at Chester, Pa.
Navy Plebes vs. U. S. S. Nevada.
These are the three contc. of the
gridiron that are in progress this af
ternoon. The calendar tor the day
would make a three-ring circus on
local fields, except for the fact that ,
the St. John’s Collegians journeyed
away from base to meet their oil
rivals of the Pennsylvania Military
College.
General Interest will, of course, cen
ter in the outcome of the game be
tween the Navy regulars and the team
from Lowisliurg, Pa , that reached the 1
city this morning. The Buckneliians j
are heavy, and i! is reported they have!
developed much strength during the
last week or so. At any rate the Naval ]
Academy contingent View the contest ;
as one that will furnish the first real!
tert of the seasfin, and in consequence;
of that belief il is expected there will
be a large crowd on hand to witness
tli" struggle.
Cnfavorablc conditions will greet
the warriors, as the turf of Farrigut 1
Field is in a soft and slimy condition-)
as the result of the continued rains of]
the last 48 hours.
With a short signal practice and
some kicking on a wet field, the Nava!
Academy football squad completed its
preparation for today’s game against
Bucknell, the real test of the season.
Special interest here centers in the
showing of the ngyy ..arrangement of
the local backfield, and particularly in
the work of Watters, the fast lacrosse
and basketball mhn. who has shown
such aptitude for the gridiron game]
this season.
The rest of the back field will lie:

BOY INJURED WHEN
HIT BY FIRE TICK
Paul Bates, Young Son Of Naval
Officer, Narrpwly Escaped
Serious Injury
!MACHINE OFF TO A FIRE
Skidding on the slippery paving of
IKing George parcel near the corner
'of College avenue while responding to
ja general alarm of fire which sounded
late yesterday afternoon, the iruek of
the Rescue Hose Company was badly
damaged and almost caused a fatal
accident when one of the wheels
struck three-year old Paul Bates, Jr.,
j son of Lieutenant-Commander and
.Mrs. Bates, of 24 Maryland avenue.
The child, accompanied by his
mother, was walking along the West
’side of King George street, when the
heavy fire truck rounded the College
avenue corner, and skidded against
1 1 he curb on ilio opposite side of the
street. William - Werntx. who was
drivhig the machine, made an attempt
to g t it straight on its course, and
a? that moment one of the steering
knuckles broke. The car, beyond con
trol. plunged directly at the opposite
jciirb. Approaching at an angle it
'mounted, the sidewalk at the point
where Mrs. Bates and the little bov
were standing, stopping only when the
right front wheel struck a brick wall
lin front of the residence of Surgeon
Reeves, of the Navy. The wheel on
;!ie right side struck the li:tlo lov
jus: as the car was stopped by the
vail. Fortunately, the child suffered
only a few scratch' s and from fright.
The truck was consilleraUy damag
|ed, and unable to return tu its sta
tion under its own power. One of the
j front wheels was torn off. and the
front axle broken. None of the tire
! men were injured, although the es
cape of some was “very narrow. Sev
eral of them jumped when the car
became uncontrollable.
A candidate who was standing on
j the back platform of the truck when
it skidded was thrown off, striking a
. iree beside the street. It was at first
thought that he was seriously injured,
but it was not found necessary to
take him to the hospital.
The fire which was at the bottom
of the near tragedy, was at the resi
dence of Mrs. Edward Russel> 20
Murray avenue, and had been exting
uished 1 efore the other trucks
reached the scene.
I Apparently there was a misunder
standing somewhere concerning the
alarm, and the error caused the Res
cue truck to go to King George street,
:entirely out of the course to the lire.
The damage to the truck is est
imated at several hundred dollars.
