EVERYDAY THINGS
Rev. R, N. AvisOn, Talks On
Dancing, Red Cross, Schools
and Other Things

Dancing, politics. the pessimism Of
some people and the Y. NJ. c. A. were
discussed in the sermon delivered yes
terday morning by the Rev. R. N. Avi-
son, pastor of the First Methodist
church of Salem.
In regard to the pessimistic tone
that ran through the messages Of many
dnring the sessions of the Oregon Sun
day school association which met the
past week in the Methodist church,
DIR. Avison said: ~ do not share in
any degree the spirit of pessimism
that seems to be abroad in the country.
l hope the feeling is not shared to any
extent that the church had failed to
some extent and that the Y. NJ. @. A.
was taking its place in war work. The
Y. NJ. C. A. is the church in action but
not by any means a substitute for the
church.
''The ehaplains in the army ate
from the pulpits of Christian churches
and the Red Cross is made up largely
of Christian women. If it were not tor
the Christian church, the Y. NJ. Q. A.
nor the Red Cross would have an ex-
istence,n he said. ~ think the Y.
NJ. C. A. came for just such a time as
this, but let us not forget that the
church gave it birth.
Delinquencies Increase
"You note that ministers and theo-
logical students are exempted from
the draft. 1t is either a SANDER or a
challenge. The fact is, the government
has recognized that any undertaking
without the church would be a fail
ure.n
DR., Avison said there was an in
crease of 81 per cent in juvenile delin'
quency in Portland since the war be-
gan, due to the fact that fathers and
brothers were in the war and that
mothers and daughters were working
in factories.
In regard to the proposed AS weeks
of school, he said the higher govern
ment officials knew of the perils Of
the long vacation and suggested that
the superintendent of the city schools
and the city educators offer their ser
vices to care for the boys who would
be working in groups in different parts
of the county.
The Church and Politics
Referring to the Red Cross and en-
tertainments given to secure money
Dr. Avison said: "Ladies, maintain
your institution without any relatiot
to questionable amusements such u:
dancing. have been asked, what harm
is there in dancinga I am tired Of
talking of dancing 1t should have ne
place in the life Of mature man OF
woman. l am not narrow. There il
something more important in life thar
Isuch frivolous nonsense as dancing.
DR.. Avison holds that it is the duty
of every citizen to serutinize the rec
ord of every man to be voted on Ma,
II, whether for the city or for tn
county and state offices. A. man salt
to me the other day that the Meth
odist church would not control poll

Avison. ~ will say that the Method
list church never tried to control an.
election, but that it is interested vi
tally in good government. Some Of yo
will know nothing about candldat
and his moral standing "a hours be

Telegraph and Telephone Lines
VIII Be Under Government Op-
eration After July 81.

Washington, Dispatch, July %.
Acting under the authority recently
conferred by congress, President Will
son Tuesday issued a proclamation
taking all telegraph and telephone
lines under government operation
and control at midnight Wednesday
July 81.
Although congress empowered hun
to do so, the President did not include
wireless systems, because the navy
already is in control of them, and ne
also did not include ocean cables, pre-
sumably because contracts the cable
companies have with foreign govern
ments on whose shores they land con-
tain clauses respecting government
operation which raised involved ques-
tions. The navy already is in prac-
tical control of the cables through its
censorship.
The Presidents proclamation placed
administration Of the wire systems
with Postmaster General Burleson and
provided that until otherwise decided
| the present managements and en-
ployes will continue. President flnan-
cial arrangements also will continue
with the approval of the postmaster
| general.

HOOVER IN ENGLAND.
Tells Britons What United States Will
Do.

London, July 23.-In a statement
today on food problems, Herbert e.
Hoover, the American food admins
traitor, spoke of the great problem OF
agricultural substitution which he said
was dominated by two critical and re-
lated factors, the first of which was
time and the second, expenditure IN
fodder and land productivity. :.
ssTo increase our beef production, =
contiatied Mr.. Hoover, "would require
from three to five years. On the 9th
er hand, we could bring about an enor-
nous increase in our meat and tat
production through swine within nine
to II months"
Mr.. Hoover said the American agrl-
cultural population had been urged
along this line and had been given as
surances which had led to a wonder
full increase in swine production

of the European allies for meat" tbs
food administrator went on. I'VE carr
furnish this whole volume IN port
alone. We can summarize our presen'
positions by stating that within th'
! next12 months, we can, with less pres
sure of saving upon our people, ex
port 100000 tons if necessary ant
to this Canada will add 100000 tons.
After announcing that al! anXler'
had passed, Mr.. Hoover continued:
eve are all building ships as par
of our submarine defense. We hav
now built up our food reserves IN Tn
nearest market as further de1ense
The call for ships for food next yea
will be less than last and consequent
we will have more ships for America
