BATHING SUIT CUSTOMS.

BATHING SUIT CUSTOMS.
The chief of police of Atlantic
City went to the Pacific coast;
watched shapley sea nymphs out
there in the salt water; took pic
lures of their bathing suits; re-
turned home and exhibited them
to the authorities of Atlantic
City. One look was sufficient to
cause the authorities to firmly
decide to stand pat on their rul-
ing that one-piece bathing suits
will not be allowed on the beach
at Atlantic City.
When Atlantic City officials
become Mortified over Pacific
coast bathing suits either the
suits must be the worst ever or
Atlantic City is suddenly getting
mighty good.
And over at Deauville, Frances
wide-open seashore resort, where
anything and everything goes
without question, the society
sports go down to the beach in
the evening in their silk pa
jamas, pull the pajamas off, re-
vealing Evesque and Adamesque
bathing suits, and jump in the
water or loll on the sand.
In Paris during some Of the
hot nights this summer fashion
able young men have appeared
in restaurants in their pajamas,
thereby starting discussion Of
whether the pajama is evening
dress"
And yet some society people
become Mortified If they see a
small boy in a country town

Minority Report is Submitted

(d) Our Yearly Meetings have &C

Word Of God as our standard.
We give our money. to endow our
colleges and employ our president and
faculty to teach the doctrines Of the
Friends church and standard. Our
chairman expressed it that they must
give the report as it is for anything
contrary would divide our church.
There were some who urged silence
about this matter, desiring it to be
sugar coated nicely.

A minority report has been submit
ted by members of the committee
appointed to determine whether the
teachings Of Earlhan college were in
conflict with the fundamental Friends
doctrine. The majority report was
submitted to the board of trustees at
their recent meeting.
The minority statement is as fol-
lows:
When the committee appointed by
Indiana and Western Yearly Meetings
tc investigate teachings at Earlham
college made up its report there we're
two members of the committee who
positively refused to sign the major
ity report These two members,
Charles T. Moore and S. Adelbert

churches in Indiana, whose names
have been mentioned in the published
report, have authorized the undersign-
ed committee to make public their
report and the letter to the college
board, as follows:
March %. 1921.
To the Trustees of Earlham college,
Dear Friends:
The joint committee from Indiana
and Western Yearly meeting tos'in-
vestigate conditions at Earlham Col
lege met 8, 9, 81 at Richmond. OF
this committee eight were present.
A report has been prepared which is
not satisfactory to some Of the joint
committee and to which our conscience
forbids us TO sign our names because:
I've do not feel there is just
cause for alarm;
"a The general undest throughout
all meetings in both yearly meetings
in regard to the teaching at Earlha m
college.
(b) The testimonies of professors
themselves comes short of satisfying
the average person that the teaching
is sound
(c) Edgar Nicholson was the only
| one of the committee present who said
he favored 'the evolutionary and his
torical method of interpreting The
Scriptures as taught at Earlham col
lege at present.
I've object to this report because ::
| (a) 1t was prepared and brought be-
fore us by the chairman, though some
what altered afterward as some mem
beers of the committee requested.
George Moore said it was far from
satisfactory to him:
(b) This report does not give credit
! to actual facts and leaves the impress
| sion that there are no just causes for
alarm
(c) The report ignores the estimony
of worthy men in whom our church
| has confidence. men whose testimonies
| harmonic and shows clearly that
students, parents of students and pas
tors recognize and protest against this
j false teaching.

are not peace making qualities in 1t.
The testimony of both factions are in

to read them to see that they are not
fully reported.
81 refused to sign the report be-
cause / believe it will only intensity

The majority report not only sup
pdesses certain facts which are now
in the hands of many Friends as TAX
en- from the Document of Evidence
containing over five hundred pages,
but fails to say how they expect to
harmonic the pastors with the Col
lege when the evidence shows that
professors of Earlham have stated
to pastors that If I'VE would teach in
Earlham College what you preach, it
would outrage the minds of thes stu
dents" And if they should teach in
Earlham College the Richmond decla-

STATE FREIGHT RATE
ATTACKED BY DEALERS
(Rv Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, April 4.-Freight
rates On coal and lumber shipments
within the state were attacked today
by Indiana dealers appearing before
ar examiner of the interstate COM
merce commission. Lumbermen as
serted the state rates, fixed by the
federal commission handicapped them
to the benefit of interstate shippers,
and threatened to destroy the Indiana
lumber industry.
Coal men centered their attack on
short haul rates, asserting the charges
on hauls under 80 miles were unrea-
sonable in comparison with slightly
longer hauls.
The hearing will continue tomor-
row, but the final decision will be
made later by the federal commits
sion sitting in Washington.
