BILL AIMED At PRIZE FIGHTS
Senator Ga1linEer Has Plan to stop
Mills on the Potomac
River.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Ex-senator CALM
ger has outlined plan TO terminate the
holding of Srize fights on vessels anchored
in the Potomac river. between the city OF
Washington and Alexandra, Va.
Bouts have been pulled Off for a num-
ber of years. TO the great annoyance OF
police authorities in Washington and the
Virginia town. Neither had jurisdiction
over the point of anchorage, which usually
was near midstream.
To meet this condition, Senator Gallinger
has introduced a bill providing that no
boats on which prize fighting takes place
shall be permitted TO use wharf property
in the District OF Columbia. AS practically
all vessels plying on the Potomac river ar
compelled TO use Washington wharf prop
erty, it is believed that the prize fighting
can be stopped.

Life electricity vital force
Prof. Mcconnell, in the course OF an

clear way that the inherent force in
human life is electricity, that all the
organs OF the body operate on the prin-
ciple OF the voltaic battery, acids and
alkalies In moist state continually
generating electricity. The nerves.
he explained, are the conductors or
this vital power; the censory nerves
taking IL to the brain and the motor
nerves carrying II from the brain to
the organ or part where II Is utilized.
All the functions OF the several vital
organs. as well as those OF the five
senses he showed TO be electrical pro-
cesses
In discussing the methods of gener-
ating this electrical power in the IN
dividual, Prof. Mcconnell said that In
the matter OF the digestion alone there
are some seven principles. which II

THINKS JEWS RANK
ABOVE CHRISTIANS


In his sermon sunday morning In
Temple Beth El, Rabbi Leo NJ. Frank
lin said that when Christian preachers
have succeeded In converting the
members of their own congregations
to Christ.like ideals when they have
taught them an ideal OF living that
even approaches that of the average
Jew, they may then turn their atten-
ton TO the Jews and We may listei,
to them.
When the Christian home even APP
proaches the Jewish home In purity
and in sanctity; when the marriage
relation among the Christians is as
sacred at II is among the Jews; when
the Christians practice the love they
preach TO the same extent as the Jews
do and when Christians begin to lead
lives as purely religious as are the
lives of most Jews. they may then
speak. but not until then will We
listen.
