justment among the respective executive
departments.
These are the outstanding accomplish.
ments of the deliberations about Mr.
Harding's council board here, but the
discussions also nave developed many pol
ieies of lesser prominence. He is keeping
an ear to the ground for information on
the labor situation and on financial con
ditiOns. He has inquired into the ques-
ton of agricultural relief and has sought
; for the real story of the nations military
and naval status.
So far as the world peace plan is con
cerned, Mr.. Harding still remains free
from final committal to any definite and
detailed program. During his conferences
here, however, he has placed upon the
table an outline Of procedure which he
formulated long before the campaign was
over. In an avOwed spirit to give and
take he has filled in a feature here and
there, and has erased others at the sug-
gestion OF his conterees. Much still IS
to be done, but the president-elect views
the progress already made as insuring sue
cess.
Roughly, the plan as it now shapes up
is understood to contemplate a diplomatic
exchange with Great Britain. France,
Italy and Japan soon after the new ad-
ministration begins on March 4, asking
that they consider the possibilities OF an
agreement between them and the Cnted
States to exert a united moral force for
world peace. 1t IS not expected that the
proposal will suggest in any respect a po-
iitical alliance though it may reiterata the
faith of the United States in a world
court in which all nations might volun
tarily become htlgants.
What the next step might be must de-
pend. of course, on the willingness of the
four great powers to cooperate, Mr..
Harding has every expectation that they
will he ready to second such a move, and
if they do. q diDlOmatic conference on
WASHINGTON is among the possibilities.

The vote was taken at $40 o'clock after
eight hours of debate.
Political lines were swept aside on
the final vote. Al Democrats and one
Prohibitionist combining with 14 Re
publicans in supporting the measure.
while II Republicans lined up with -
Democrats against the bill.
Opposition speakers charged that the
measure would send the cost of living

ton. Defenders of the bill, on the
other hand, said it would save the agri-
cultural industry.

Underwood's Triumph in
 Practical Statesmanship

e ENATOR UDERWOOD has done g another big thing for Alabama. The effort of the republicans to write the result of their partisan in- vestigation of Muscle Shoals into legislation and the inception of the fight of the powerful interests against the farmers of the United States was nipped in the bud Fri day.
 In an impromptu speech the Ala bama senator defeated on amend ment which the republicans had adopted and would have prevented the operation of the nitrate plants on the Tennessee river.
 The bill carrying appropriations for Qualifications, introduced by Senator Shoot, contained this amendment trick: "ProVlded that un- less specifically authorized by law, no contract shall be entered into, or obligation incurred, or additional work undertaken at or on account of United States Nitrate Plants No. 1 and No. 2, situated at or in the vicin- ity of Muscle Shoals, Ala, except for purely maintenance purposes"
 This "ioker" was one of the most pernicious and far-reaching ever put over by bold and interruptions politicians. This amendment was in troduced to stop the operation ot "the plants and thus kill them."

Minstrel Show

There is nothing more amusing or more appealing to the theatregoing public than a real old-time minstrel show. says F. L. Maddocks of the Majestic theatre. If there was an actor on the stage today that coNld really initiate the southern negro he would be drawing fortune in salary each year.
 We who live here in the south and see the negro every day think very little of him. We see him during his working hours. We see him during his hours of recreation. We know most of his habits and the things he likes best.
 But after all, there is something about him that is appealing. Take a negro, for instance. that can play the banjo. If he can sing a little with his playing he is looked on by the other negroes as a kind of leader. He has no worries and whenever we see him he is nearly always smiling. He is care-free and happy and he would not change his lot for anything. He lives in w&ld of his own and is content with his own small world. That is why minstrel shews are the most popular shows on the stage to- day. There is more real fun to be gotten out of a funny darky story, told by real blackface comedian. than any other kind of amusement that know"

ADVERTISING CHURCHES--By Frank Willis Barnett

tie denominational boards used display advertising in the derominationa papers to cal. attention to their needs. I can speak more explicitly of the Baptist papers. as owned and edited one for seventeen years. The northern Baptist convention. through it's boards, began long before southern Baptisrs.
 
 But at last the leaders in the south awoke to the fact that 1t was not only legitimate but in every way the proper thing to do, and so the secretaries of the mission boards. the heads of educational institutions, including the seminaries, and all others in quest of enlarged budgets began to state their cases in the pages of their church papers with such gratify- ing results that when the movement was set on foot to raise s75. 100000 they were ready to try out the great dailies.
 Southern Baptists went way beyond the S75, ,0O0, 900, and so now the northern Bap- lists, when they projected a campaign for S100,oO0, coo, they set aside a great fund to be spent with the magazines and secular papers. I am looking at a full page advertisement used by them in the Literary Digest of April 24 I have seen a better one. This applies to the layout as we'll as to the matter. simple dia- gram shows the proportion in which the fund is to be Spent.
 The campaign closes tonight, and be- lieve it will end in victory. Here is a paragraph out of the advertisement: This hour tests Christians The whole world cries for that spirit of unselfish service exemplified. by the Man who rose from carpenters home and, with the world at His feet. chose the path of hu- initiation. The things which war could not win for us must be won through the spread of HIS gospel. .. What are you going to do?'' Strongly put. Read it over again and see If it in any way vio- lates the spirit of the Master.
 It was not surprising that wfan the drive for ssss, ,777.572 was undertaken by the Interchurch World Movement of North America that 8 large budget was put aside for publicity, for it's promoters well knew that the fourth Liberty Loan cost ss.oOo.00 in publicity alone. without counting money spent locally. I merely give these facts to show that it takes money and lot of it to put over pa trfotic as well as religious drives.
 I am looking at a double-page spread in a national weekly. inserted by the Inter church World Movement to boost the United Financial Campaign which draws to close today. The drawings. the ar rangement of the matter and the text are .plNndid examples of the art of at tractive advertising. It Is impo isible to
