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. >' t NAVY TO SELL SOME OF SURPLUS SUGAR The Supply Corps of the Navy is 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.

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 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. ('hamre (if Sen ice Hour Tomorrow’s service of evening pray i or at St. Anne’s church. Rev. Edward D. Johnson, D.
