NE Sk Registration of lobbyists reads very well in the headlines. But lobbying The cards on the table in this big game of government at Washington, and the chap who needs to be Iabeled as a lobbyist is not to be feared. As A matter of fact there aren‘t very many of that breed left.

The Bishâ€" op‘s article is entitled "Saving Souls Through Church Suppers." "The decline of the pulpit may be due," he writes, "in some measure, to the contagion of the parish house, with its hysterical effort to provide fresh entertainment through ‘liveâ€" wire‘ talks and ‘peppy‘ addresses. ‘That sort of spiritual food will not satisfy a new generation which has turned away from religion and must be won back to Religion. Even ‘pulâ€" pit yawpers‘ will discover in time tiâ€"at the church must be more than a . Service for Men A bite of lunch, either in the termâ€" inal or elsewhere is easily possible.

Many More Suburbanites Attend| System is Regarded as Vicious Plays in City Because of and Burden to Motorists "Specialty service to provide just what the public wants is as incidental to railroading now as the efforts of the caterer to please a hostess," says C. A. Cairns, passenger traffice manâ€" ager of the Chicago and North Westâ€" ern, whose service embraces most of the western and northâ€"shore suburbs of Chicago. Ample allowance made for the lapse between the "final curtain" in the theatre and the departure of the late trains permits everybody to see the full show and still get home at a reasonable hour, thereby building good business and at the same time making a contribution to the pleasant things of life. *~ SsAYs TOO MUCH BOOST IN MODERN CHURCHES LOBBYISTS MUST BE CRAFTY THESE DAYS The fact that the suburbanite no longer needs to squirm in his seat and fumble for his watch toward the middle of the last act, is held reâ€" sponsible for a considerable gain in attendance at downtown theatres, and as matters stand in many cases the suburbanite is just about as near home as the fellow just beyond the outskirts of the loop, due to the servâ€" ice which permits him to see a show downtown and still get home at a reasommble hour, it is said. Provide Facilities Suburban wives enjoy meeting their husbands in the city in the evening when they are in a mood for a show, but often both had formerly to stay overnight in Chicago or get back home about the time for the husband to return to work, but afterâ€"theatre trains and installation of facilities in the railway terminals which obiate the necessity of going home to "dress up" for a show, have greatly augâ€" mented the pleasure seekers abroad in the city who live in the suburbs, it is found. Future husbands and wives also like this service. ‘ Decline of Interest May Be Due to Hysterical Efforts to An increased and regular attendâ€" ance of suburbanites at Chicago loop theatres is attributed chiefly to the afterâ€"theatre railroad trains that now afford most of the convenience of a private limousine.

"The American Automobile â€" assoâ€" ciation has sponsored good roads for a period of twentyâ€"five years and has at all times bulwarked the federal aid principle in every possible way. We must continue and enlarge on our present and prospective road building programs. We may need express highways, but when and if we do get them, let them be free highways and not toll roads. Private toll highways and mcgu-! tions for a system of such "payâ€"asâ€" you enter" motor routes are the subâ€" ject of a vigorous statement just isâ€" sued by the American Automobile asâ€" sociation in which the nationâ€"wide motorists‘ organization takes a deâ€" termined stund against "foisting any such schemes on the car owners of America." Word of this opposition of organâ€" ized motordom to "the vicious toll principle on highways" was received yesterday by the Chicago Motor club. On the basis of a resolution adopted by the A. A. A. board of directors, Thomas P. Henry, president of the. organization, issued a statement to the 958 affiliated A. A. A. clubs calling attention to a bill before congress authorizing a commission to study the need and feasibility of express highâ€" ways to be built and operated by priâ€" vate capital on a toll basis. "In the last ten years the country bas â€"spent $8,500,000,000 on roads. Of this total, the car owners contributed in special taxes alone $4,476,977,650. In 1927 they paid in special taxes $725,555,812 or nearly 75 per cent of the total road bill of the nation. Is "We are uncompromisingly opposed to the principle underlying this bill," said the A. A. A. executive. "The proposal for the study of a plan for toll highways, by a federal commisâ€" sion is simply a blindâ€"an entering wedgeâ€"that cannot fail to play into the hands of the sponsors of privatelyâ€" owned and privatelyâ€"exploited highâ€" ways.

Three years ago their cattle ranch in South Dakota was operating at a loss of a million dollars. Deflation after the war let them down hard.

Another golden revision of this sort almost would give Feason to suspect the existence of a western Greeley with a window to the east. Bright tales of fortunes made in the west are numerous enough to give Greeley‘s famous admonition the dignity of a proverb, says Nation‘s Business Magazine. Yet there is an essence of amazement in the fact that two ranchâ€"trained westerners could come to a metropolis "broke," and Bonding power of municipalities of the downstate section is two and oneâ€" half per cent on the value of taxable property.
