CLERGY SEE RELIGION
 EBB AT UNIVERSITY
Syracuse Students Few at Meetings, Faculty None-Church Now Cold
 to Debt Plea.

syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 9.-A radical change in the religious atmosphere of Syracuse University must be had before Methodist preachers will aid in the cam paign to raise $1 ,5OO, GOO to lift the debt of the university. It was disclosed at 8 meeting of the East District of the Gen. tral Kew York conference at Manlius yesterday. Clergymen who are well &C., quainted with the university declar- ed they would do nothing to aid in the campaign until there was a shifting of the spiritual surroundings.
 They pointed to the fact that, when they have been called upon to preach at chapel exercises at the university, not only have they been greeted by con- gregation of students which could be counted on the fingers, but that not one professor, the leaders of thought, could be found in the group.
 There must be a return of the spirit ual atmosphere which characterized the institution when it was founded fifty years ago by the Methodist Episcopal church, they declared, or thsTe will be no funds forthcoming for its mainten- ance from Syracuse churches of the East District.
 Chancellor James R. Day is expected to go before his fellow pastors and tell them of the university needs. Some of the ministers say he is going to be the target of some hot shots from other Methodist preachers.

CROWDS
 HONOR PRINCE
Two and One-Half Million Pay
 Respects to Jap

Tokio, Sept. 9.-(By the Associated Press)-Tokios two and one half mill lion people today gave a characteris- tic expression of Japanese loyalty to Crown Prince Hirohito the heir ap- parent, whose recent successful tour of the Occident has appealed to pop ular imagination and undoubtedly aroused new and more democratic in terests in the imperial family.
 Mayor Goto gave a popular recep- tion in honor of the crown prince whom the people now regard as the real head of the empire owing to the illness of the emperor. Thousands cheered as the crown prince with his democratic bearing and easy oratorical manner addressed the multitude, voic- ing satisfaction over the efforts ct municipal improvement in keeping with Tokio's place among the world s great cities.
 Tonight a mamoth procession bear inga hundred thousand Japanese lan- terms, serenaded Prince Hirohito's palace. He again addressed the multi tude emphasizing the urgency of es- tablishing world peace.
 The events of the past week tend to show that the throne is being brought closed to an abandonment of the ancient period of exclusiveness.

SCIENTISTS HEAR
 ABOUT SUNS RAYS
The Whole Living World Needs
 PhOtoChemiCal Reaction

New York, Sept. 9.-The problem how to harness the energy of the sun so as to utilize it for the direct bene- fit of man was presented to the chem ists of the United States and Great Britain here yesterday by Dr. l.. H. Eaekeland, honorary professor of chemical engineering in Colum bia uni versity. He was speaking at an in ternational meeting of the Society of Chemical Industry of Great Britain and of the American Chemical so- ciety. He pointed out the necessity of chemical research for the ad- vanc ement of American industry and warned manufacturers against dis continuing that work during the pres ent period of business depression.
 Speaking on the problem of how to utilize the rays of the sun, he briefly told how these rays acting upon plant life produce sugars, starch, cellulose and other foods. He said: No sun, no crops, no life" So that after all, the whole living world is dependent upon a delicate photo chemical reaction.
 Our vast coal beds and our petrol cum wells and our natural gas are merely the result of light energy stored up from the plant or animal life of former geological periods. This in itself, ought to impress us with the enormous possibilities of photochemi- cal synthesis and yet, here is a field where the scientist or engineer has accomplished next to nothing. In the utilization of this marvellous energy, we have left thus far the monoply of making photographs.
 When it comes to transforming light energy into chemical synthesis we have left thus for the monoply of this agent to nature; we have been acting as Rip Van Wrinkle.
 Where is the Farady, the Ampere, the Leonardo de Vinci; where is the Archimeds who shall show us how to use the sun rays for charging our electrical storage batteries, or who will teach us how to handle the photochemical action of sunlight, or to emulate nature in her delicate syn thesis of plant life? Who will utilize this delicate method instead of our hitherto brutal processes of syn thesis?
 ''To the wide-awake manufa cturer the present industrial depression should be an incentive to engage more chemists, to do more chemical re- search work. instead of laying off the men of their chemical staff, as has happened in too many instances since we got out of that fools paradise of so-called prosperity
 Most of our industries badly need "fertilizing' and fertilizing is bet ter done while the land lies fallow than during planting or harvesting time.
 Whenever I see such shortsighted- ness, which is bound to stunt our industrial efficiency for the future, then I wonder whether some of the financial or business men at the head of large industrial enterprises are not occupying their position on an assumed and unearned reputation"

"Too MUCH NERVE TO DIE"
So Says Physicians of FIier Who
 Survived West Virginia Crash

Montgomery, w. Va, Sept. g. Corporal Alexander C. Hazelton. army airman. who was the only one of five to escape death when the Martin bomber in which they were flying from Charleston to Langley Field. Va, crashed at Twenty Mil eCreek.

 Hazelton today had recovered suffi- ciently to talk some of the accident and despite the terrible experience he endured appeared jolly and joked with the doctors and nurses. And this despite two broken legs, a dis located hip and internal injuries. Phsicians say his indomitable will power and remarkable nerve will be important factors in his recovery, which is now expected.
 For two days Hazelton hung down. warn. unconscious, from the wrecked plane. until he was recvued by farmer who found him and the bodies of his former flying com panions. He expressed qualification today that unconsciousness had spared him the torture that other wise would have been his during those two days.

New London. Conn. Sept. 9.-Heavy gun practice and experiments with depth bombs of Fort Wright has caus- ed fishermen to protest against the maneuvers in local waters.
