AMERICAN OUTLOOK

AMERlCAN OU l LOOh
 MT McBrien in his address declared the problem confronting the Americas today is how to create a greater Amer ican community out of all the Amer icas, how to make the Monroe doc- Urine mean all that it has meant in the past and also how to advance 1t to the broad doctrine of Pan- American ism as advocated by President Will son.
 Pan -Americanism," he said, stands squareiy on the true American idea proclaimed in the declaration of inde- pendence. that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. It believes in law and order stands for integrity and indus try, advocates honesty and square dealing among nations as well as indi- viduals. -Americanism rejoices over the love one has for his own country.
 AMERICA FIRST
 "Therefore I consider it altogether fitting and proper" the speaker con- tinued, Ion this occasion to propose as our national slogan for every man, woman and child in the United States the words of President Wilson in his address before the Daughters of the American Revolution last October, America first, last and all the time
 "rhe world war has revolutionized the Monroe doctrine and transformed it from a negative meaning to a pos itive commitment of the nation to the promotion of all the interests of all the American peoples, according to Dr. Moore.
 Because of the world war" said pr. Moore, "this republic is compelled to be world power or world weak linz
 This nation has answered affirma- lively and positively that it was set to be it's brothers keeper. This war as shown that Europe needs the Uni ted States to aid in solving her human problems. The war spirit of the Euro pean people must be driven out and for it must be substituted the spirit of human brotherhood.
 'All people must learn world pa triotism and seek to produce world citizenship. The United States is best fitted to lead in the movement. This is the time for big thinking of great men who have come up to command ing sense of world citizenship and re- sponsibility."
 MT. Smith, speaking on rural inter- ests of the south, declared more than three-fourths of the people of the south still live on farms and that three fourths of the children get their edu- cation for life in country schools How to improve conditions of these people was an important one. The experience of recent years, he declared had cul- minated in the conclusion that the school is best fitted to become the cen- ter of community development

STRANG[ER LEWIS i. DEFEATS ROLLER IN
 WONDERFUL MATCH
Lewis Uses Head Chancery to Advantage = Roller Offers Stubborn
 Resistance
nx FRED BODEkER

Before audience of almost IJuO
 people, Ed ("Strangler''D Lewis
 strengthened his claim to the worlds
 wrestling championship last night at
 the Jefferson theatre by defeating Dr.
 E. r. Roller. another of the greatest grappIers on the mat today. Lewis
 won in two straight falls. using the
 same hold with which he conquered
 chanccry.
 The head chancery, introduced by
 Lewis, and an original hold of his,
 has proven to be one of the most ef-
 fective holds in the wrestling game.
 Famous mat artists have been seen
 in action in Birmingham with an as
 sortment of holds, but none has ever
 been the master of two distinctive holds as was the occasion last night. Lewis, who now claims the world s title, uses the head chancery entirely, while Roller is death on the toe hold. Both are about equally as dangerous. The match was one of the best ever offered in this city. It can be truth fully said that the bout might have terminated different tale had Roller not abandoned his close guard. The wrestlers had tumbled about the mat for an hour and five minutes with Lewis on the defensive the. greater part of the time. Roller turned to speak to the referee or else look in
 the audience and as the result left an opening for the deadly head hold. Lewis, as quick as flash, dived at
 Rollers neck and secured the head chancery.
 ROLLERS NECK STRAINED
 Rollers shoulders were put flatly on the mat and when Lewis arose 1t
 was seen that the wrestling physician was injured. His neck was sprained, according to Dr. James E. Dedman, who advised Roller not to take the mat for a second fall. Roller. however, was de-
 termined and he entered the mat Tor
 the second fall. It took only four mln-
 utes for Lewis to get another head hold
 and as a result the physician was forced to accept defeat.
 Roller put up a wonderful match. He had Lewis in several difficult po- sitions and made the Kentuckian ac- cept much pain through his famous toe hold At the end of the first fall Lewis left the mat limping as the result of the punishment from Roller. The wrestling was calm throughout and won the approval of the large house early in the match. Both Lewis and Roller are about the most sclen- tific wrestlers ever seen in action here. They understand the game thoroughly and wrestle the entire time.
 Although there was no exhibition of an assortment of holds the fans re- ceived their moneys worth. The house was about equally divided for the two grapplers, each having a large follow ing Fans clamored for the toe hold, while still others pleaded for the head chancery.
 The exact time of the first fall was 1 hour minutes, 23 1-5 seconds, while the second fall required but 4 minutes. Jack Riddle acted as referee and gave the usual satisfaction. Dr. Dedman act
 ed as announcer with Biscoe Seals timer.

 Much of the time of the church work ers session was given to discussion of amusements for the young people of the churches and the ru<al congregations. The speakers appeared to be agreed that if the church should forbid certain amusements to their members they must adopt diversions which will take the place of the things barred, but this in- novation was left to further meetings.
 PRACTICAL FARMING
 The conference of representatives of agricultural colleges and state depart ments of education. after exha austive de- bate, adopted d four-year course of study for colleges that train teachers of agriculture in secondary schools or the south This course included more time for work in practical farming with the first two years for academic studies and general science of farming, and the last two years for work on special lines Tn agriculture and pedagogy.
