LARGER LOCKS
FOR WATERWAY
NJ. ]. McEniry Returns From Rivers
Congress With Definite Plans
for Reconstruction.

Construction Of locks in accord
ance with the proposed type OF
river barges was promised NJ. j.
McEniry, Moline representative at
the national rivers and harbors
congress in Washington. D. c., last
week, by General LansingsH. Beach,
chief of United States engineers.
Mr.. McEniry, who returned from
the congress today, reported that
only three Of the upper Mississippi
river cities were represented at the
session. These, he said, were Mo-
line, Hannibal and Burlington.
The promise concerning the new
locks was exacted in an interview
with General Beach in which Mr..
McEniry urged adoption Of plans to
provide locks greater than those
now in use in Moline. 1t is under
stood generally that present plans
do not contemplate larger locks, but
upper river advocates maintain that
the new type Of barges cannot be
handled readily without more extern
sive locks.
Approval Of the engineers budget
Of s7S,000,O00, which will urge
81 100000 for upper river work, was
formally endorsed by the congress
after spirited debate, Mr.. McEniry
reported.

MODERN CHURCH
WORK ATTACKED


Churchgoers 81 tho present era
spend all their time in church
work." while the work Of the
church is neglected, was the para
doxical warning of DR.. William S.
Bovard, secretary Of religious edu-
cation of the Methodist church of
America, yesterday in two ser
mons to Moline congregations.
DR.. Bovard spoke on "Manpow-
er in Gear" at the Y. M. c. A in
the afternoon and on Religious In
struction" in the evening at the
first Methodist church. Both ser
vices were attended largely.
Interpreting his paradox con-
corning church work and the work
of the church, DR.. BOvard compar-
ed the church conditions which he
believes exist to the farmer who
spent all summer repairing reap
er, only to find himself without a
bushel of grain harvested at the
end of the season.
I'VE must not remain aloof from
the problems of life, but must place
ourselves in the very midst of hui
man activity" advised DR.. Bovard
1--WE consume most of our time in
organization, reorganization and
disorganization, while the great
world of life outside the church
needs prompt attention. We must
put the man-power of the church
into the life about u.s."
Churches and church workers
were criticized 7 sharply by the
Methodist leader for their tendency
toward temporary and emotiona
revivalism, for their waste of time
in church politics and their religi'
Gus autocracy in the home.
"The only way the world will b.
saved is by formation, not refor
nation" explained the speaker il
urging for the better kind of re
ligious instruction for the chill
dren. especially. You may exc
cute few criminals, Jail few ant
save a few by Billy Sunday reviv
ais, but in a short time you will
have just as large a crop of dere
licts, and you have the same tasl
to do over again"
| The shortest way toward clean
ing up any criminal institution o.
lactivity is by the process of pre-
empting the field of childhood il
the home, church and school, &C
cording to DR.. Bovard.
;, Form a generation of new citi
zens that, by training, will come t,
regard the necessity of working as
sidiously against all kinds of evil,
The recommended.
The final test of religion is its in
fluence on the commonplace an,
!. everyday matter of life, DR.. Bovar'
concluded.
