MODERN SAvANTS
PROVE DOCTRINES
Brigham H. Roberts Says COL
Iege Professors Views Con-
firm Prophecies.
lQU0TES HAROLD B0LCE
ARTICLES OF MAGAZINE WRITER
CITED BY SPEAKER.
loU0TES HAROLD BoLCE

Brigham H. Roberts took up the sub
ject of the beliefs of Mormonism in the
light of modern advanced religious
thought at the afternoon service at the
Tabernacle yesterday afternoon, drawing
parallels between some of the doctrines
expounded seventy-five years ago by
Joseph Smith and the beliefs of prominent
scientists and educators of today regard
ing religion and the Deity.
The address of Mr. Roberts was pref
aced by the statement that he had spoken
or what had been styled the Mission of
Morinonism' last August, and his address
of yesterday would be in the nature OF
continuing some unfinished business, and
he would in part, review further some
articles in the Cosmopolitan Magazine
written by Harold BOlce after he had
spent a year or more in visiting insti-
tutions of higher education and ascer-
tanning the views Of prominent professors
on advanced religious thought.
These articles, Mr.. Roberts said, gointed
out the trend of religious and theological
thought, and he said he wished to call
the attention of his hearers to the fact
that the message of Joseph Smith, given
three-quarters of century ago, TO the
effect that the Christian churches were
all wrong and that cTeeds were an abomi-
nation in the sight of God had received
confirmation in the statements OF pro-
fessors of the leading colleges and uni
Versities of the United States.
Quotes College Professors.
Mr.. Roberts said that the occasion did
not warrant, nor did time permit, a COM
plete review of the magazine articles
or to show all of the points in which the
utterances of the great modern prophet
We're sustained. He would give a few
illustrations, however, to show how use
less it was for the world to decry the
prophecies of Joseph Smith on the ground
that they were the utterances Of a poor,
uneducated and obscure youth.

PORTLAND QUESTION In
AIR UNTIL EWING
RETURNS

]. Cal Ewing, the San Francisco
Coaster magnate, is in Honolulu
searching for the health and sleep
he lost last year in the fight with
the Outlaws. Until he returns the
Northwestern application for a
club in Portland will lie un-
answered.
Frank Ish, the financial man of
the San Francisco club, favors the
retention of Portland by the North
westerners, and, as a matter of
fact, did all in his power to pre-
serve the territorial integrity of
the Northwestern league at the last
Coaster session.
When Ewing returns from Ha-
waii, meeting of the Coasters will
be held, and the Northwestern APP
plication acted upon.
There is little doubt as to the
outcome, for practically every
Coaster mogul has pledged himself
to vote to give Portland to the
Northwestern for portion of the
coming season.
The CalifOrnians succeeded in
throwing a scare into their Glass B
neighbors, exacting a sort of pledge
from at least two of the Northwest
erners in favor of an eight-club
Greater Coast league, and put a
Quietus on the Glass A talk which
was rampant in this neck of the
woods prior to the withdrawal al
Portland.
We have a bunch that that is
about all they figured on.

Vancouver is shy on wrestlers
and may ask for concession in
the way OF three boxers and one
wrestler In the coming Vancouver
Spokane interclub smoker at the
s. A. A. c. on January IA. A few
days ago such request would
have been denied, but with the
strong boxing squad Fred Creel has
developed, the locals are willing to
take their chances with three mitt
artists against the British Column
bans.
However, IL Vancouver makes
the request, the s. A. A. c. manage

three men, two boxesr and one
wrestler.

Several weeks ago there was
much talk Of such a league, but
now the basketball teams are fight
ing shy of the proposed circuit.
Butte organized city league the
other night. Why not Spokane?

the various strongholds as to the
superiority of this five and that
five, the followers of basketball
being just as partisan in their sup
port of a favorite team as in any

While series of games between

WASHING NEW FLANNELS.

1t is surprising how a little care in
washing new flannel lengthens its life
and preserves its appearance. First OF
all, put the garments or the piece of
flannel into large tub filled with cold
water, rain water where obtainable, but
otherwise with little ammonia added.
The wafer must be cold; no other
method will exact the sulphur which is
contained in all new flannels Steep it
for at least two hours. Have ready a
tub of hot, not boiling, water, add a
little soap jelly {too much soap makes
flannel shiny aud tablespoonful Of
ammonia. Put the flannel into this and
rub lightly with the hands, giving extra
attention to seams. gathers and thick
places. Wash again through warm wa.
ter with smaller quantity of soap jelly in
it, and rinse in tepid water. Pass twice
through the wrlnger, and hang out-of-
doors, if possible, with the thickest and
heaviest part uppermost. This preeau-
ton is necessary, otherwise the water
drains into the yoke, collar or waist
band and lhickens those parts Fine
flannel may be pressed with moderate
ly hot iron on the wrong side, but heavy
garments are usually mangled.--
