SCORES BLUE LAWS
'UNCHR|ST|AN'
Adventist Pastor Declares It Is
Time to Ring Liberty
BIeI Again.

Bitter opposition to Sunday blue
laws in any form is voiced by Elder
r. Gustavus Rodgers, pastor OF the
Seventh Day Adventist Church. Sixth
and N streets northwest. who is con-
Quoting a series of Sunday night
services to campaign against such
laws.
Few people realize what they are
doing when they favor. in any way.
Sunday laws. for to force such on
the citizens. OF America will make
them neither American nor Christ
ian," declared Mr.. Rodgers.
1T is time to ring the old Liberty
BELL again and sound an alarm
throughout America against the foes
who are seeking to overthrow the
fundamental principles of civil lib
crty and the constitutional guaran-
ties of the freedom of conscience in
religious matters.
what right has the State to med
die in anything that bears the stamp
Of religion? Was 1t not the union
OF church and State in the middle
centuries that brought about the
riartyrdom of nearly 100000. 900 per-
sons who firmly believed that they
were accountable to God alone for
their obedience to religious things?
'will the people of America allow a
progressive, liberty-loving nation like
ours to be dominated by few re-
ligious bigots, and as a result make
criminals out of good citizens and
hypocrites out of otherwise conscien-
tious worshipers?
This Is what Is before our froe
land. whether the promoters of reli-
gious intolerance will be truthful
enough to confess 1t or not.
when men today maintain that
the state is warranted in enacting
Sunday laws that the working classes
enjoy physical rest, they do so simply
to blindfold those who are to be used
as tools to build up their church at
tendance through civil laws, when
God designed that His Holy Spirit
alone should be the persuading force
to fill His house of worship.
"The House of Representatives in
1880 decided on the matter of Sunday
legislation that:
"If Congress shall. by the authority
OF law, sanction the measure recon-
mended, IL would constitute a legis-
lative decision of a religious contro-
versy in which even Christians them
selves are at Issue.
my hope and earnest desire is that
Congress shall maintain IT'S policy
of non-interference in religious con-
troversies, and. by thus doing. it will
be in accord with the nations Consti-
tutional guarantees regarding religi-
Gus Legislation"

TE[LSFAT women
JUST HOW T0DRESS
Mrs. Alice Buchanan, in Lecture,
Also Advises Those With
Long Legs.

Girls with short legs and long
waists were told how to choose
clothes that are most becoming to
them at lecture delivered last
night at the Wilson Normal Com
munity Center by Mrs. Alice Bu-
chanan, service director of Frank r.
Jeilen, Inc.
With the aid OF living models, Mrs.
Buchanan showed dresses that are
becoming to short and stout women
and to tall. thin ones. She also dem
onstrated what gowns women should
wear who have short. thick necks and
long thin ones.
"Short and stout women should
wear clothes with long lines, no no
ticeable break at the waist line. such
as would be given by. skirt and waist
of contrasting color" she told he:
hearers. Women of this build should
not wear broad nor fancy belts. fIar'
ing pockets, ruffes or plaits, and
lines should fit loosely rather than fol
low the lines of the figure, she added
Just the opposite is true of tall and
thin women, she said. They should
wear full skirts, broad belts, flarine
pockets, warm colors, skirts with ruff
files and plenty of frills to MI up the
flat, high bust line. Frequent.y tho
blouse and skirt may be OF contrast
ing colors, she said.

CHURCH CHOIR STRIKES
JUST AS EASTER LOOMS

CUMBERLAND, Nd, March 1s.-
Members OF the choir of Emmanuel
Episcopal Church, the Rev. Ambrose
Henry Beavin, rector, have gone on
strike, following tho resignation OF
Ingham Lord, organist and choir
master for seventeen years. Lord
withdrew when he found he had not
been included in the yearly budget
for additional compensation. His
action caused Harry r.. Jamison,
tenor; r. Mason Hill, basso, and
Thomas l.. Myers to quit. II Is re-
ported that the boy choristers have
given notice they will quit unless
matters are adjuster.
The complication leaves the choir
badly crippled on the eve OF Easter.

Charles NJ. Woodruff. chairman OF

to meet the requirements Of the med

manufacturers to make many fluid ex-
tracts that must contain alcohol.
Thus II Is that even some OF the

stretched to cover those alcoholic sd-

"The law forbids and Furnishes the

Criminally liable as well. regardless
Of whether he sold 1t on prescrip-

THE logical and equitable way OF

is to ferret out such purchasers

essential medicinal preparations as
