went severe cross-examination that
failed to shake his testimony.
Mrs. Irma Smeltzer, the woman
in the case, suffered painful injuries
when she was knocked down by the
crowd that fought to get front row
seats for the afternoon session. She
was thrown heavily against the wall
and the back of her head severely
bruised, but she was able to come
into court later although her pallor
showed the effect of the rough usage
she had received.

Der, but said that he was at no time
afraid of Smeltzer, who is a man
considerably larger and younger
than the ex-pastor.

witness for the defense. The plain

fore the house committee on agri-
culture, which has under considera-

IS NOT
A FORM BUT A LIFE
SAYS DR.. MAC CALLUM|
Three Hardest Words to Say
Are II Am Wrong" He De-
clares, but Miraculous Power
of Redeemer Explains
Changes.
(By Rev. ]. Francis Morgan.) J

/ (By Rev. j. Francis Morgan.)
/ Pauls conversion was the subject of
| DR.. MacCallum's sermon preached at
the Presbyterian church last evening.
The text was Acts 26:19. Il was not
1 disobedent unto the heavenly vision"
The preacher said that civilization is
possible only through the Christian
missionary.
He said: History cannot be writ
ten and leave the preacher out. God
raises up men for giving to the
world his message of grace. 1t was
the grace of God only that saved Paul
and that only can save us. The natur-
al man uncontrolled is deadly peril
Man controlled by Jesus Christ is the
mig ghtiest engine for good. Saul of
Tarsus was Pharisee and had to
learn that Christianity is not an in
surance but a program. not form,
but a life. In eternity the question
will be. What will Jesus do with
you?' These three hardest words to
say are. I am wrong Paul said il
land became a new man of power. He
went TO persecute but came back to
pray.
Byron gave himself to a life of IL
,centiousness and at 80 confessed that
life had left him nothing. How can
we explain the changes wrought in
millions of lives but by the miracu-
lous power of saving Redeemer.
Jesus says. Accept me and will
glorify YOU. Every man may be saved
who will.''
A large audience was present and
the singing was led in a spirited way
by the large chorus choir. A delega-
tion of more than 20 people was pres
ent from Pilot Rock. Being DIR. Mac

High Type Of Civilization
In America 1000 B. c.

Indications of the existence of a
high type of civilization in Amer
lea as far back os 1000 b. c. was
presented by Sylvanius Griswold
Morley. an associate of the Car
negie Institution. at a meeting OF
the Anthropological Society of
Washington yesterday afternoon in
the auditorium of the National
Museum.
DR.. Morley declared that the an
cient civilization of Mexico and
Yucatan rivalled that Of Babylon
and Pompeii. He produced slides
showing recently taken photo
graphs of ruins which showed the
architecture of these ancient build
ings to be of an imposing type
The buildings contained frescos
said to be even more beautiful than
those of Pompeii.
DR.. Charles NJ. Kober, dean of
the medical faculty Of Georgetown
University and president of the
society. stated that the lecture was
startling revelation. II had al
ways thought of those people as
stone dwellers.- he said. The evil
dence submitted is incontestable,
and explodes the idea that civiliza-
ton in ancient America was of a
primitive type" he added.
The discovery of the ruins in
Mexico and Yucatan was made in
1914. Since that time they have
been Investigated by anthropolog-
lists.

ARMY TRAINING
FIGHT RENEWED
Huge Costs Of Universal
Plan Presented by
Rep. Mondell.

Representative MondeiL, of wy
oming. Republican leader in the
House. reopened his fight against
universal military training in a
statement inserted in the Congress
sional Record Yesterday.
Reiterating that he was not ex-
pressing any opinion with regard to
the 'advisability of the training sys-
tenn, Mr.. Mondell declared his oppo-
sition at this time is based solely
on the ground of it's cost.
Summing up. Mr.. Mondell said:
rhe Secretary of War has rec
commended an army OF $40 00o men
to cost nearly $1,000 900. 900, No
body. outside of the General SITS m
and the Administration, is consider,
ing any such establishment. The
committees of the House and Senate
are likely to provide for a regular
establishment somewhere between
225.Ooo and 275.000 officers and men,
line and staff.
AT the present cost this would
involve appropriations Of from 34a5,-
100000 to s475.00o, 900. This force
could not be reduced by any sys-
tenn OF military training. The ten
dency would be TO increase II.
system OF universal, compulsory,
military training, such as has been
proposed. would cost at least 500. 900. :
600 per year, after the first year. Add
TO this the cost of the regular estab-
lishment of the lowest figure sug-
gested. A25.oo0.ooo. and we have a total
OF sl125.oo,ooo as the lowest annual
cost OF a moderate regular establish
ment and system Of universal, COM
pulsory. military training such as is
proposed without taking into con-
the expenditure Of at least
Ssco,"O.ooo to prepare the camps for the
system of training.
This estimate is much below the
cost OF the regular establishment pro-
posed by the bill now before the
Senate.
AS no one anticipates putting anv
