A. dlnanre which will be adopted by th special committee of the city council at ita meeting Tuesday, inhabitants of the Rose City need have little fear of awlftly moving coaches. While the Eclipse Life Guard fender Is named In the ordinance, Chalrm Vaughn 'aid that fact did not neccs snrlly mean the committee would recom mend It for adoption to the council. It waa Inserted because the committee found, that it compiled more nearly to the requirements of the committee than nv other tested. The fender to be reported upon favor ably by the committee must be attached to tne rront ena or tne car ana not to the trucks. The fender must at no time be more than four Inches above the road way and must extend 10 Inches outside of each rail. The top of the new fender will have to be on level with the floor of the car and lt constructed above so as to form a shield for the front end of the coach. In shape the fender will have to be fashioned like a scoop and can be no shorter than three feet from front to back. The new life protector will have To ue or sucn sirengm mat u win re move any object lying on the rails In the shape of a human beinsr without Injury to the object. It must be con structed of such material as will give it resiliency and strength. Finally, to complete the ideaa of the committee men, the front edge of the fender must be covered with rubber buffers to ease the shock of any person picked up by the device. Where such a fender will be procured remains a mystery, but Chairman Vaughn stated yesterday that action will be taken by the committee and a fender selected. 'There will be something done,' he added significantly. "We have been working on the fender proposition for many months and the time haa como for action. The action will occur Tues day when everybody who has an Idea or objection In the fender question will have to be present If he desires to be heard."

One more reader has come to the fore with some reasons why the motto "In God We Trust" should not be taken from the coin of the realm. She be lieves that to leave the motto on the coin would Interfere with no one s rights, and that It should therefore be done. The text of her letter follows: To the Editor of The Journal In re ply to a crlj;lclsm may Isay, to be truly American, each creed should teach iti creed without imposing on another.
