10th there IS a most interesting
article under the heading PRO
testants in Majority in Navy"
The author IS Philip F. Matz-
niger.
The article is based on the in
formation gathered by the Y.
MICA. workers at the Great
Lakes Training Station concern
ing the religious affiliations of
the men entering the Navy. The
author confesses that he has
made some surprising discoveries
from the records at hand.
First he calls attention to the
small number Of men who make
no religious profession. Of the
214s men who enlisted in No
vember, 1918, only four had the
the courage TO say that they had
no religion at all. Fifty-three
were Jews, 453 Catholics, 1906
Protestants Of all denominations.
About the same ratio seem to
hold during the other months
under consideration. Judging
from the figures at hand it APP
pears that Protestants outnum-
/ Der Catholics almost three to
one in the Navy.
After calling attention to the
comfortable lead which the Me
thodists have over other Protest
ant denominations, the article
calls attention TO the fact that
the Lutherans are second in point
! of enlistment. He also makes the
following statement: 1.-The real
| surprise -. is that which the
L%utherans make. Largely Of Ger
man extraction they were sus-
pected Of leaning in sympathy
toward the central powers. But
in the Navy the Lutheran young
men prove that their hearts al
SO pump red blood quickly and
warmly for the Stars and
Stripes.
The fact concerning the per-
eentage of Lutherans is not sur
prising to the present writer,
but it is gratifying to know that
it has been given to the readers
of the CONTINENT. Would that
it could be given the widest
possible publicity But it is ex-
a~sperating to find that Mr..
Matzinger writes as though it
was generally understood that
Lutherans leaned in sympathy
toward the central powers dur
ing the war. During the period
of our neutrality, especially in
the beginning of the war, there
were no doubt many in the Lu-
theran Church as in other
churches and outside of all
churches, whose sympathies
leaned toward the central pow
| ers. After the United States en-
tered the war no American Lu-
theran, Of which there are q
AZ. s12 communicates leaned to-
wards the central powers. AS
Americans, they were whole
heartedly for their own country.
One of the best proofs of this
is the large number of Lutheran
men m the service of the coun-
try. Let Us analyze the figures
of the Great Lakes Navy enlist
ments. In June, 1918, 1874 en-
listed. This is 1924 Of the
total enlistments for the month.
Based on its percentage of the
population Of the United States,
the Lutheran Church should
have furnished .1067+. 1t will
thus bee seen that the Lutheran
Church gave .0557 in excess Of
its quota, which is the largest
excess percentage given by any
denomination during the same
period. During the month OF
September the percent excess of
Lutherans enlisting at Great
Lakes was .0s54. Similar inter

UNIONIZATION ADVOCATES

MACON, Ca. September 24-Advo-
Gates of the unionization of city en-
ployes. including policemen and fire-
men, have scored heavily in probably
the first political contest in the ma
ton in which this question was made
a leading issue.

Of Macon on a platform opposing
unionization of the city's employees,

Mayor Glen Toole. who. although. re-
fusing to take a stand on the Ques-

friendly to the idsa of city employees
unions, was renominated by plu-
rality of 513. He is said to have~re-
ceived almost the solid labor vote.
The controversy over the union
question, which reached an acute
stage several weeks ago when the

men to quit either their unions or the
city service. had been held in abey-
ance pending the outcome of the pri-

MR.. HAM TO SUBMIT
anew ZONE PLAN
Hearing on W. R. & E.'s Ap-
peal for More Revenue Ad-
journed Until Tuesday.
OTHER PROPOSALS MADE

Hearing on the application of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company for increased revenue to
prevent the company from showing a
deficit this year was adjourned yes
terday afternoon until Tuesday
morning to enable William F. Ham,
president of the company. to submit
new plan for zone system.
The fact that Mr.. Ham is to sub
nit a new zone plan does not mean
that the commission has made up its
mind to solve the company's difficult
ties by that system. 1t does mean
that the commission intends to give
serious consideration to that form of
relief.

Other Plans Suggested.

Many other ways of increasing the
company's revenues were suggested
to the commission yesterday, and the
commission is far from a decision as
to the best way to solve the prob
lem.
That any attempt to put zone sys
tenn. into operation will bring forth
opposition from the public was fore
cast yesterday afternoon when Will
liam NICK. Clayton of the Federation
of Citizens Associations informed the
commission, that he learned with a
shock that the commission is con-
sidering the zone idea. He inti-
mated that the point would be raised
that the commission is without au-
thority in law to establish measured
service. -
Mr. Hams Favors "Fair" Merger.
Mr.. Ham told the commission yes
terday afternoon in answer to ques-
tion that he was in favor of any mer-
pany that would do justice to the
stockholders of both companies.
Asked by Chairman Kutz what he
meant by justice to the stockholders,
Mr.. Ham explained that he did not
believe a merger on the basis of the
of the company by the commission
would tie fair one.
He said it might be possible at
some time to bring. about merger.
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany for financial relief is too urgent to
wait upon a solution as complicated as
a merger.
Makes Other Proposals.
Asked by the commission what sug-
gestions he had to offer for giving
his company the increase in reve-
nues it needs to prevent some of its
ruptcy, Mr.. Ham made a series of
proposals.
He said he would first restore the
rate of the Potomac Electric Power
Company to 10 cents per kilowatt
mission reduced this rate to cents.
The company took the case to court.
and, pending decision Of the case, the
public has continued to pay 10 cents,
the additional cents being set aside
event they lose the case.
Mr.. Ham said il the restoration of
the 10-cent electric light rate did not
prov ide enough revenue to meet the
street car company's expenses he
would then establish a zone system
on the mileage basis. He also said
he thought there were some users of
electric current who should pay more
now because of the increased cost Of
y = Relief or the Courts. E q
II the measures dfd not k1ep the
Washington Railway and Electric
from showing deficit, Mr.. Ham said.
he then would consider adding a g.
cent fare without charge for trans 4
fers.
Mr. Ham made it plain to the-com-y
mission that the Washington Railway
and Electric Company is now in q po-s
sition where 1t must have more reye-.
nue. Immediately or permit its sub
sidiary lines to seek relief in the
courts.
Since the Public Utilities commis-t
sion assumes the responsibility Of
saying what kind Of service shall be
given by the company, what kind of
equipment it shall use and similar
forms Of regulation, he said the COM
also should take the respon-
sibility of seeing that the company
Is allowed sufficient revenue to meet
the demands for service.

The Greatest Remedy on Earth
Acid Iron Mineral.

Millions of people suffer year

general weakness, loss of power
and energy, headache, insomnia,
nervousness, mental depression
even more serious ailments such
as catarrh and cancer of the
stomach, intestinal ulcers, cir
rhosn Of the liver, heart trouble,
all of these can often be traced
directly to acid stomach.
Keep sharp lookout for the
first symptom of acid stomach
indigestion, heartburn, belching,
food repeating, that awful painful
bloat after eating, and sour gassv
stomach. Acid Iron Mineral,
the wonderful modern remedy
for acid stomach, is guaranteed to
bring ql1ick relief from these
stomach miseries. Thousands say
they never dreamed anything
could bring such speedy relief
and make them feel so much bet
ter in every way. Try Acid Iron
Mineral and you, too, will be just
as enthusiastic in its praise. Make
your life worth living-no aches
or pains-no blues or melancholy
no more of that tired, listless
feeling. Be well and strong. Get
back your physical and mental
punch; your vim, vigor and vital
ity. You will always be weak and
ailing as long as you have acid
stomach. SO get rid of it now by
taking Acid Iron Mineral. Also
