TO BUSY MOTORING TO
FIND TIME FOR SPORTS

FRESNO. Calf. March II Omitted
Press. This city Of $4,000 souls
enjoys the reputation Of having less
sports and more automobiles than
any other city of its size in the
United States. 1t is probably the
only city of this size I'm the country
with no baseball team and no base
bail park.
Fresno is dead as a doornai' so
far as sports 60" said the sport
writer of a local newspaper, "and
some OF us blaI1e the autos for il. "
Fresno's sports consist Of one
bowling alley. two basketball teams
and some Fairgrounds The high
school tries its hand at football i'm
the fall.
Every janitor and every street
sweeper owns his own car" said the
sport writer. "and he spends his
spare time riding in it, You have
to hunt for blocks before you can
park on a downtown street. Fresno
just doesn't seem TO have time for
sports. IL doesn't even have a city
golf course"
But Fresno prides itself on its
Fairgrounds. which are declared to
be the best in the state.

CHICAGO MAN NVENTS
ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK

CHICAGO, March II Omitted
Press) Michael Bulka, of Chicago,
has invented a remarkable astro-
nomical clock which has attracted
much scientific interest.
In glass dome on top are a min
iature sun. earth and moon whose
movements duplicate those of these
bodies in the heavens. The sun re-
mains stationary, but the earth turns
on its axis, the moon revolves around
the earth and both planets circle the
sun. The globes representing the
sun and moon are coated with phos-
phorus and show the nights and days
and the various phases of the earth's S
catellite. Eclipses Of the sun and
moon are clearly Indicated
The amazing thing about II is that
the earth revolves every twenty-four
hours and the earth and moon take
twelve months to complete their
circle about the sun while marking
off the four seasons. While these
planetary movements are visible. a
dial on the .ace OF the clock records
'he changes in days, weeks, months
and years.

NO REDUCTION
in COAL PRICES

According to local retail coal
dealers there will be no so cent
reduction in the price OF coal on
April the mine operators not hav-
ing given notice Of any reduction.
Announcement that Philadelphia
dealers would make so cent cut
in prices was met by the local men
with the argument that the freight
rates on coal to this city are 20 cents
a ton more than that on coal deliv-
cred to Philadelphia They cited that
fact as the cause OF the present diff
.ferences in price OF coal in the two
cities.
Last year the prices were raised,
instead of lowered IL was said that
the fifty-cent decrease I'm Phnadel-
phia Will probably be added on again
as soon as the demand for coal in
creases.
There is considerable difference
in the present prices quoted by Phil
adelphia retailers as follows. for
2240 pounds: Egg, SLABS 10 s14.55;
stove s14.5O to SIS: nut. S14.5O TO
SIS, and pea, S11.75 10 $12.
According TO one Philadelphia
dealer, the prices after April / are
likely be: Egg. Si4; stove. $1A50;
nut S1450, and pea, S11.75. Any

about international relations, movies,
women's dress, etc, but what we
want is to get back to the gospel
Of Christ.
"There is no figure that so per-
fectly represents that spirit which
opposes Christ as did Pontius PLATE
But Christ, I'm all his suffering under
Pontius PLATE, was ever king. He
was the beginning of a new spiritual

Church of Christianity Jesus is the
great central pillar OF a new type of

tory,' opposing enactment of the
Wilmington city charter bill. now
pending in the Legislature. The cir
cular in part reads
An effort is being made TO get a
new charter for Wilmington. The
particular charm which this new bin
had TO many people is the fact that
II Is non-partisan. To many who
90 not fully understand the objects
OF our organization. it would seem
tnat such charter should appeal 10
Us. But we have been effective In
city affairs because we have been
able 10 throw our strength To tho
party having the best interests OF

st. Paul indicated

LONDON. (By Mail to United
Press)-Men translated the Bible
and twisted St. Paups remarks
about women to suit their own
ideas. That is divulged by Miss
X. Raleigh to the Women's Free
dom League.
The apostles remarks about
women, she said. were badly
twisted in translation and it could
be proved by the removal of a
few dots and commas, that st.
Paul did NOT: Forbid women to
preach; command them to obey
their husbands; insist that for
ever and aye. whatever the fash
ion of the country, they should
wear hats in church, say that they
should never wear jewelry and
fine clothes.
IN the sentence Women obey
your husbands" said Miss Ra-
leigh. "the correct translation of
the word obey is be considerate
to-"
st. Paul is rehabilitated.
