To the Editor of The Journal: It seems to me that our pared streets have been converted into a public skating rink . People are afraid to venture out walking for fear they will be run down by the gone-mad skat ers. Pedestrians have to dodge and duck around to keep from having their feet knocked from under them. The pavements are supposed to be made to walk on and the streets for traffic. Hut the people who drive cars have to keep every nerve strained to keep out of the way of the skating maniacs. They dart out in front of the cats, they race with them, making I001M he-loops a they go and chal lenging (lie un nerved driver to drive over them. They swing on behind the cars in reckless bravado, setmlngly defying the chauffeur to do his worst. Providence has watched over them thus far or we would have had a num ber of serious accidents. Where ate the parents of these children? And what is the Idea for allowing such a dangerous, unsightly amusement? If there should occur an accident, who would be to blame?

To the Editor of The Journal: I received a sweet, spicy letter frou. j the author of "Hogan's Ally" the otc- i er day that started a line of thought ; along which I feel impelled " ra?. I And that this gifted writer hn b a ' in this orld a lew years lonfi than I have and therefore has the itd.'tn-' tage of me iu some ways aud loo I ' bud. as 1 had supposed, that llioi-'h' having lived some years on th f.-ire of the earth she is not old. Which fact started these questions: Do e; get old? If so. Why? and how stall, e prevent it? I I think we all will admit It', in spite of all the massages, fresh air, baths, cvercising, dieting, cosmetics, etc., lime persists in leaving iis i:iik on our physical beings and th body weakens with the passing yean lo some extent at least, but had o. thought about it? There is a be'.'i ful law of coniensation going on in and around us. If we lose au eye the remaining one gets strougtr. If we lose a hand 11. e one that we have gains more cun ning, and so on down the line ttnd when the body loses any of its vigor the spirit grows stronger and sweeter year by year, of course, if we let U lor of course if we punished our single eye it could not see so well and if we purposely mutilated our onlv hand it would lose its cunning' and equally true if we shut out all love ly thoughts from our spirits they too will grow old and sour. So I think in these reasons the answers to all three questions are found. I think I can prove by the Bible that the spirit never grows old. Yo i remember the angel who sat in the empty tomb and said "He is not hero. He Is risen." Remember how the llible calls him "a young man." though I reckon he had existed for unknown ages, still he was young, and wasn't he doing just what I have mentioned, thinking good things, talking pleasant things and leaving the other kind out? He could have spent nn hour there that morning complaining to the wo men about how mean the world had treated Jesus, about how low down and dirty the people had acted about him and It would all have been truth too but, did he take up any time do ing it? No. sir, he just thought about the good thing that had happened and kept his ee on that. No wonder he was young. So now let's get a lesson from this heavenly spirit. Let's think about the good t hut there is In the world. I have an idea that my friend of "Hogun's Ally" is not one of the kind who sits around and whines, "The world Is getting so bud I don't know what will ever become of the peo ple. Girls are not like they were when I was growing up," etc. The kind of talk that when I hear any one start it I just want to get up and get out. Why bless your heart, there have been bad girls ever since the day thnt Salome danced John the Bap tist's head off and there have been good girls ever since Miriam lead the people in a song of praise to the great Deliverer, and there will m both kinds until the time shall rome when "two women shall be grinding at the mill and one shall be taken and the other left." And there are Just as sweet and pure girls now as there ever were and the good ones so far. out number the other kind that I see' mi reason for putting on a long face and moaning over it. ' Yes, I believe that the world is get-1 iug belter. Oh, the growth may be . '', so slow that it takes one a life- li. ic to see 11, Just like a child grow-' in, It lives with you anil grows day 1 by 'a and year by year and yon can nui ! e it grow Inn you see the re-' .iulis cf that growth after a wnlle, .mil so for one to declare that the no, lil i growing worse is to udiiiil himself lo l)i" uninformed about the' history uf the hmmin race. Yes, 1 am ready lo affirm that every time I lie . tin si ls il rises upon a better world than ii saw the day before. This ! in not fancy, but actual fact. It is true that many of our people j do not read the Iilhle as much as they I might but those who do read it have! a better understanding of It than peo-! pie ever have had and live up to Its j teachings better than ever. It is said i by those in a position to know that today the llible has a larger sale than any book ever printed. Now Just one , fact alone proves that its teaoliir.fcu , are being heeded more than ever be fore, the fact that the poor, the aged and the helpless are cared for and looked after better than ever In all the world's history. No, dear reader, don't you I 'ing any gray hairs on your delenselefs head by worrying about '.he wotld growing worse. It isn't. S i you think about sweet thlnns and keep young and help to brighten uv the. world as you go along. Why, ola Ponce De Leon wasted j lot of enrr-j gy and time searching for f ie foun-, lain of youth. If he nail only looked i Inside of himself he woildn '. havei had to go so far. 1 Talking about us v. omen folks, I, guess the kind that "fr"Med with j fear at vour frown" Must have all died when "Sweet Alice" of B.'ii Bolt" I did, and I reckon It is a pood thing they are now "lyiiu und"i- ih p'one." What girl or woman wo ld n w be found trembling wit ii far at the frown of any man? And what Man j of this day would have r.uv rcspfct for her If she did? No, sir. There is more spirit in us thn ilia? and I ami glad of It. Why. bnet: In the tinys of I "Ben Boll" a woman at 10 years or age was supposed to l In the roriu-r. vcar a black dress a :icver :o s.iy where unless It was f visit the Btck , to chinch on Su "iay mornins.t. and she was expected to spend any spare moments she hid in knitting socks and stocking fur the whole famllv.
