CALL TO PRAYER
The Easter season is one of more than
usual saciedness to the adherents of the
Christian religion. Easter marks the close
of the Lenten season, the period of self
denial practiced generally by the Catholic
bodies and partly by some Protestant de
nominations. It recalls the recorded events
accompanying the resurrection of Jesus
Christ.
The time has passed when men may
scoff at the effectiveness of prayer in the
national and individual life and at the
same time maintain a reputation for sound
judgment. Whatever may be the explan-
aton for prayer, whether it be the res
ponse of a supreme being to the requests
of men or whether the effect is purely
psychological, results of unequivocal char
acter are seen in the lives of men.
All the sin and injustice in the world
is the result of selfishness in the hearts
of men. No individual can enter sincerely
into the practice of prayer without the
surrender of the mind and disposition
that would prompt the doing of things
that would work harm in the lives of
others.
Prayer as it is revealed in the Holy
Scriptures, makes for a serenity of mind
and a fixedness of purpose to do right
eously that can not be easily destroyed
by the ordinary experiences of life. The
most outstanding men and women in his
tory have practiced prayer for themselves
and for the interests to which they gave
themselves.
MARBLES AND SPRING
There is a time for all things, and this
happens to be the time for marbles.
une of the positive signs of spring is
the advent of the marble season. No soon
er does the warm spring sun melt late
winter’s snow from pavements and side
walks than there appears on them mystic
chalk marks around which squat boys like
Indians about a camp fire
“Knuckle down,” “Trade you two shoot
ers for a glassy,” and “Your shoot” now
become the language of youth, and the
tell-tale signs of the season are bulging
pockets, cardboard boxes filled with some
thing that rattles suspiciously and having
a hole in the top through which a marble
might be dropped, and the clatter and
roll of marbles on schoolroom floors as
solely stiained pants pockets let go.
In his games is the boy “the father of
the man.” The marbles of youth prepare
the way for the tennis, billiards, golf and
other sports and pastimes of maturity.
Marbles is the kindergarden of good sport
smanship.
One wonders if there is a normal boy
today who does not feel the ii resistible
urge to play marbles dr a normal man
who did not as a boy “shoot” the little
spheres of colored glass and clay. So in
separable is the boy from the marble one
sometimes thinks to deprive the boy of
his marbles would work an irreparable
loss.
ROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER
It would be comical, were it not some
what pathetic, the way newspaper of
fices are besieged every day by their
friends, urging them to “roast” this and
that; to “see to it” that this and that is
corrected; to have this and that done in
the city or county; to start this and that
kind of movement to correct evils in the
state government. These friends actually
appear to believe that it is the newspaper’s
business to handle all these affairs.
But a self-respecting newspaper, though
ready and willing to carry all reasonable
responsibility, must remind its readers that
they, the people, are the authority upon
whom rests the responsibility for the pres
ent state of affairs local, state and nation
al.
A self-respecting newspaper tries to re
port the news of what actually happens,
not what it might wish had happened. The
relat’on of a self-respecting newspaper to
the general public is not always under-
stood. It is the duty of a newspaper to
be in a position to support anv good act
an<l criticize any bad act of public policy.
This relationship cannot exist where
favors are asked and granted. Honesty is
the only policy for a newspaper.

NEW METHOD PREVENTS SKIDDING
1
A new method of finishing the surface
of a paved highway with stone screenings
has been devised to prevent skidding. One
of the first projects of this kind is a 7.8
miles highway leading out of Modesto, in
Southern California.
The original pavement was widened to
20 feet by cement concrete shoulders plac
ed on either side of the existing 15-foot
base which was then surfaced with as
phalt concrete, averaging 2y2 inches to
4 inches in thickness. Two-foot rock bor
ders four inches in thickness were placed
alongside the concrete shoulders.
The screenings used for top finish were
such as would pass through a one-fourth
inch square screen with not less than 90
per cent of the total being retained on a
standard No. 10 screen. The amount ap
plied averaged from 10 to 15 pounds per
square yard.
The cost for this 7.8 miles of recon
structed highway was $163,500.
