Academy told of sitting next to (ieneral Leonard Wood at a public funcâ€" tion, The general asked him whether there is any falling off in religious ideals among young men. He said he had noticed a very distinct ditl‘en- enee of expression among men in regard to religious things. They do not express themselves in the old way. He, Steamsheld that. religious. in- fluences are as strong and deep with the boys of today as in the past, but. the laws express themselves differently. If they do not use the proper expression of religious truth. it is because the prouer challenge to their religious sense is not issued. . ' General Wood said that he was much interested in the matter, and had been in the habit or asking about it and pumping every college and school man he could. because. it reports to him were true, it is the. first sign of national decay. He said that the history of every country in the world which has suffered decline shows that the beginning of it was in the loss of religious sentiment. It IS a Sign of loss of national life.

A local motorist, who was away on a ninetyâ€"mile trip last Sunday experienced a cut inner tube from a sharp stone.
