PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-House-

they had determined on a concrete
method of lowering prices, co-opera-

The individual pinching felt through
high prices has broadened into a COM

attention being sharply focused on the
food situation by the sporadic rioting
in the southeastern and northeastern
parts of the city. These areas house

Will CHURCH
ENTER FIELD
TO COMPETE
WITH MOVIE?
Argument is Advanced That
Censored Pictures Be Ex-
hibited in Connection With
Public Worship.
RESULTS WOULD PAY
BY HASSAL T. SULLIVAN

Some people are just naturally
anarchists. Anything that ex-
lists is wrong in their opinion.
They rebel for the sake of taking
the joy out of living for persons
unfortunate enough to be inflict-
ed with their presence.
Other people make a conscien-
tious study of conditions. They
seek the source of abuses and
having found it, clear the foun-
dations and start operations of a
constructive character.
They criticise in order to open
the way for progress.
Receive Unmerited Criticism.
It sometimes happens that this sec
ond-class of people becomes sponsor
for propaganda so far in advance Of
the general trend of thought in the
community that they are placed in the
same category with the anarchists.
This condemnation is not always de-
served and generally comes from indi-
divduals who are not even abreast of
the times but who are tagging behind
that stratum of society which has
for its creed-"let we'll enough alone
and frown upon any innovation.
The church of today is facing
big problem. In competition
with amusement enterprises for
attention and patronage of the
people il is running second
1t should be leading the procession.
Religious leaders, ministers and lay
men, have given their best thought
and energies to consideration of
means of making the church more
efficient competitor.
Their efforts have been reward
ed with results in proportion to
the tendency to meet certain de-
mands Of the time-to make
what are, by some, considered as
radical departures.
Speakers at the Rural Church Work
ers' conferences held at Earlham col
lege made evident two requirements
for the success of the rural church
which are equally true of the city con-
gregation.
They were.
The church must become more than
house of worship. 1t must also be a
social home providing wholesome di-
versions for its members during the
week
Should Develop the Whole Man
The church must develop the whole
man-his physical, social, mental and
spiritual proclivities.
Some of the ministers told how they
were succeeding with this program by
organizing boys clubs, and providing
various social activities.
With the liquor problem apparently
solved, some organizations are now
turning their guns on the Sunday mo-
tion picture shows.
But in this new attack they may be
thwarted by a law which will permit
the operation of these houses of
amusement on Sundays.
Summary of Their Arguments
The arguments advanced against the
Sunday movie may be summed up:
They cheaper the Sabbath day
They cause its descration.
They keep people away from church
They exhibit pictures which are det-
rimental to the morals of growing chill
dren
They offer surroundings not con-
ducive to an inspirational outlook on
life.

Burglars broke the "unbreakable' cannonbreach

two explosions nobody venured out of his house until
daylight and no one the burglars probably six in
number who left for the west in a Ford automobile.

cessful attempt to blow the same safe April H. 1916 did
the work
Sheriff Glen Carr reached Greensboro at o'clock
shortly after he had been notified and through the of
the telephone learned from farmers that the thieves

The only other identified
ton marks left we're two
horse blankets and a bed COM
fort used in deadening the
sound and in cooling the met
al after the torch had been
used and before the explosive
was laid.
Bakers Back Door Tried
Ed. Allen, a baker, whose shop is
located across the street from the
bank, went to his store at 2: 80 o'clock.
He saw no one. Shortly after he had
started work in the bake room, some
body tried the back door. He looked
out but saw no one. Shortly after,
he heard an explosion, probably the
third of four. He picked up his Ian.
tern and started out There was
noise at the window.

Sheriff Carr today. "a knew it would
be goodbye with me if | went fur
ther. set the lantern down and
went back to work. Honestly, when
the next and heaviest explosion came,
! believe my hair stood on end, but
kept on at work."
Snyder Makes Investigation
Florence Snyder was first to inves-
tigate the source of the explosions
when morning came. He saw the
blind was down over the front win
dow of the bank. He got the baker
and they went across the street and
investigated. The front door was un-.
locked.
Snyder notified r. A. Deeter, cash.
ier Of the bank, who in turn notified
the sheriff.
All preliminary steps taken by the
burglars resembIed those Of a year
ago.
Use Several Small Charges
Small charges had been used on the
two front doors of the safe to destroy
the locks. These charges Rad been
laid with the aid of ordinary chiseIs.
Then was when the burglars profit

to make holes in the Crome,
Maganese steel doors and en-
able the burglars to lay the
c h arges Of nitro-glycerin.
They left the heavy storage
tank and despite the fact that
efforts had been made to
eradicate the company name
and numbers. Sheriff Carr
was able to make them out
and this furnishes a valuable
clue.

Whether the congestion Of freight

delay of the cold wave scheduled to

dicated by w. e. Moore, local fore

Mr.. Moore said, however, that the
