And being trae to the tradition of
Methodlat Itinerants, I did not cancel
my appointment, but took ship and
paid the fare thereof, like an early
evangelist named Jonah who was ex
pected to fill an appointment at
Nineveh. But unlike his first voyage
I headed in the direction of my ap
pointment, instead of going in the
opposite direction and avoided a
catastrophe wfiie! happened to my
predecessor of ancient date experienc
ed on voyage number one. January
1H, at midnight, I boarded the steam
boat which was to carry me to
Miaho, one of my outstetkms thirty
miles from Uwajima I had with me
Rev. N. Ushers, my new assistant
pastor for that place. It was bis
first trip there It was during the
most disagreable part of the cold
snap referred to in my former article.
I went to bed in the second-class
department of the steamer on a cush
ioned seat extending along the edge of
the large room in which all the pas
sengers of this department travel.
Moat of the passsngers lie on blankets
sprsad on the cushioned floor in two
extended rows, leing accustomsd to
being exalted above the floor by bed
steads in my own home, I always pre
fer to occupy the-seat mttoad of the
floor. I lay down with my overcoat
on and two blankets over me, one be
ing my steamer rug and the other
furnished by the steamer. The sea
was too rough to have the port boles
open for ventilation, and the stag
nam Mr «u almost say-Diue wren
cl(iKtk amok*. Too, I had p ttM
out of the bed with • cold only four
hoon Mora.
Ovfttg to limttad
tioe I hen I tat* to ride first-class,
though an individual room with sleep
iai berth ia a pleasant feature out on
the atomy sea in midwinter. Too.
my habit ia to travel in the Mine claaa
with my Japanese co-worker*. It
may help my reputation with my
reader? to add that my wife ia alwaya
allowed the privilege of travel'n*
firat-ciaas. Of course we all Osvei
firat-claaa on trana-oceanic voyages,
of which Mra. Frank and I have mack'
five.
But to go back to my trip. I fell
aaleep in spite of vitiated air and
other circumstance*, and did not
know when the steamer steamed out
of port about three hour* after 1 went
on board. However, before day I
awoke with an inward aenaation, such
aa ia understood only by the readers
who have sailed qn the briny deep I
tried to refreah myself by going up on
deck to get some fresh air, and so
forth. That "and SO forth" ia suppos
ed to mean furnishing some food for
the finny inhabitants of the water
beneath. I staid on deck and took the
froth air cure until forced by the
piercing winter winds to seek refuge
and cover below. I am seemingly
getting more and more immune from
seaaicknesa on account of travelling
ao frequently by boat; but now and
then Aeolus (the god of the winds)
becomes overly rash, and my frailty ia
brought home to me. Seaakknaaa is
exceedingly unpleasant, bat la not ao
serious, for we always survive; and
we feel aa good when it atopa, literally
as well aa by contrast. I hope to get
landed and reach my destination in

N«w Jmnmy Tow* Will Tar
and Feather High way loan
Camden, N. J., March 7.—Tarring and
feathering will be the punishment for
highway robber* at WowOyne, near
here, in the future, Mayor William
D. Kramer announced last night.
Many residents of the community
recently have been held up and robbed
of small sums.
"We have obtained a big tank for
melting tar," said the mayor, "and
a bountiful supply of feathers. The
next man caught in a holdup will be
tarred and feathered and carried thru
the streets as an example to the
community. "In taking this step the
citizens of Woodlyna believe they can
break up the practice within a short
time.
It la the better put of i year after
ipplltttioa la Made for a loan and
membership taken out before the
money can be supplied. This mean*
that the man or woman who la anxious
to practice thrift and add another
home to the town, most manage to
pay rent for nine month* or even
longer in addition to making hia pay
ments on Ma stochi * doable burden
that would havr to be carried only SO
or M days, U the building and loan
associations were financed to meet the
demand. If the home builder manages
a temporary financing through the
banks, or* otbenfiae, the period in
which he must continue to pay rent
is shortened, but this advantage la
offaet by the cOet of carrying the
temporary loan.
It has been said of one large town
in the state that it has been built by
the building and loan associations.
A city will never be built hers by this
method, so long aa the aaaociations
receive the degres of eoaaideration
the taveeting public has hitherto
gives them. Here la a tax-free six
per cent investment capable of produc
ing handaome Indirect returns that
constantly goes begging on the mar
ket.
The strange neglect of the building
and loan by inveeton is one of the
numerous difficultiea under which
those people of the community labor
who are striving to build a city here;
whose rnthusuum persists ifihut tfw
fact that they are required to make
bricka with a scanty allowance of
»trsw. They haven't gimmj, wtth*»
splendid auHi a civic pride, a aub
■tantial faith in Grwutm. mani
fested finely by the citisens from time
to time, but not yet in such determina
tion and unity aa, for instance, the
adequate financing of the building
and loan sasoclstions. or the forma
tion of a grant housing corporation.
The building and loan association*
in their dual capacity are doing a
solid constructive work that Greens
boro could ill afford to be without.
What Is being accomplished under a
handicap that nullifies much of the
natural advantage of the plan proves
that if this handicap were removed
Grsonahoro wor'd go forward rapidly
indeed. In home building, which is the
most important line at progress.
Are there people of moans who are
not interested in the growth pf the
c'ty In this respect, but would rather
see rents continue to increase from
their investment in houses? Such
an attitude of the owners of property
in general, and a policy based upon it,
cannot be anything but suicidal.
Objects to Throwing
Caaoa Out of Court
Wash. March 8.—Thomas Lee
Shelton of Norfolk, representing the
American Bar Association, told the
House judiciary committee today that
the practice of some courts in throw-1
ing out cases on a technicality was'
calculated to turn practical business,
men into bolshevista.
Urging legislation which would:
authorise the United States Supreme ■
Court to prescribe new nilea regulat- i
injr procedure on tne common law,
•Mt of the Federal court*, Mr. Shel
ton sharply denied that the chance
was being advocated by lawyera a* a |
matter of their own convenience*.
The American Bar Aiaoclation and
46 State bar associations, he aaid, had j
endorsed the new system.
"Under the English law enacted af
ter 46 years of effort it is impossible
for a ease to be thrown out on a
technicality," he said. "That is what
we want The one thing that is mak
ing bolshevists out of sensible busi
ness men is to sit in court and see
their cases thrown out oa technicali
ties. For the life of them they can
net understand it. Leave this ques
tion to the Supreme Court and the
lawyers of the country ^ill abide by
it."
The principal reason for the demand
for the new procedure was simply to
obtain quicker administration of
justice, he said.
