MORE AUDAC|TY
AND NERVE NEEDED
World Conference to Fight For
Militant Christianity
PROHIBITION is REVIEWED
Bishop Cannon Calls On England And
France To Follow Steps Of
Observation-Disclosures
Prohibition.

London.-The Worlds Methodist
Conference in session here drew UP
an address for circulation in Method
list churches throughout the world
calling for aggressive militant Chris
tianity." The address read:
I'VE need more nerve and mole
audacity. We summon you to aggres-
sive militant Christianity. We well
come the emancipation of women and
hail them joyfully as fellow-workers.
I'VE have heard the call for union
of churches. Our first duty is to heal
our own divisions and to call our
Methodist family to greater unity
than we now enjoy"
The conference sent fraternal greet
ings to the Assembly of German Evan,
gelical churches now meeting in Stutt-
CART and adopted a resolution thank
ing the American Government for pro-
viding a site in Washington for
statue to Bishop Francis Asbury, con,
sidered the founder of Methodism in
the United States.
Bishop James Cannon, Jr, Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, reviewed
the prohibition struggle in the United
States and analysed its results, saying:
1.-THE unacceptable fact remains that
the liquor traffic has forever been
branded as an outlaw by the Govern
ment of the United States"
Bishop Cannon declared that if an
other war should come, demanding
that sons come from prohibition homes
in America to fight in England France
or other countries, one of the most
important factors would be whether
the American and English or French
Governments would cooperate to offer
the same protection to the American
youth from drink as he receives under
the American flag. He said the Amer
leans entered the late war not for any
sordid reason but because the Ameri.

Of Lieutenant Commander Coil az
Will Be Taken Back And
Consigned To Atlantic.

New York.-Resting in flag-shrouded
caskets, covered with masses of flow
ers and guarded by armed men of a
friendly, foreign nation, the bodies of
Commander Louis H. Maxfield and IA
of his comrades-victims of the ZR-2
disaster-arrived home on the British
cruiser Dauntless.
1t was a far different Homecoming
than the victims had anticipated
when they sailed several months ago
for England to prepare and bring
back the monster dirigible, the dis
aster to which on a trial fight, sent
~ heroic men of two nations to their
untimely death
Far out at sea the Dauntless was
met by a destroyer division of the
United States Navy AS it neared
port the escort was augmented by a
feet of seaplanes, representing the
arm of the service for which the vic
Tins gave their lives. AS the funeral
ship came up the harbor the forts

tolled on the Brooklyn and Staten
Island shores and passing craft dipped
their coIors in reverential salute.
At each corner of the deck as the
vessel was warped into its pier stood
an armed sentry with head bowed and
arms reversed. Forward of the plat
form was nen-commissioned officer,
and aft an officer in full-dress uniform
having a rank equal to that of Com
mander Maxfield. Both of these Off
GERS stood at attention with head I'M
covered until the caskets were finally
removed from the ship.
A silence almost sepulchral in
effect hung over the funeral ship al
she proceeded up the harbor. Except
for the barking OF her guns. as they
spoke 81 times in the usual ralute of
courtesy given by war craft entering
foreign port, the only noise was the
swish of water at her bow, the occa.
sional clanking of chain, or a COM
mand given in muffied tones.

BUYING FOR CHRISTMAS
ON LARGE SCALE.

New York.-Santa Claus is pre-
pairing for Christmas on pros
perity basis.
A canvass of the old gentleman's
personal representatives in this
country revealed that they are
counting on one Of the biggest
holiday distributions of gifts in
years.
Retailers in ell sections, it was
said, have begun to place orders
for the Christmas trade ION
most hopeful scale"-and this ap-
plies to dry goods, furniture,
jewelry, toys and all other forms
of gifts.
Lew Hahn, managing director of
the National Retail Dry Goods
Association, said buying indicated
Santa Claus would be pretty
fairly busy"
Retail prices will average close
to 80 per cent. lower than last
year." Hahn said. "As a result,
even though dealers do a much
larger business than last year,
their transactions in dollars and
cents may not be so big. The
majority of dealers are proceed
ing on the theory that the holt
day trade will be good"

DEFECTIVE HOSE Is
SOURCE or TROUBLE.
Should Be Examined When En-
CINE Begins to Heat Up.
Connection Can Be Replaced in Few
Minutes by Anyone Who 10
Handy With Wrench Or Screw
driver and Other Tools.

When engines which normally keep
cool even in hot weather or heavy
climbing begin to heat up, suspect the
condition of the rubber hose which
connects the radiator with the water
jacket. There are two such pieces of
hose, but it is the top one which usu-
ally goes bad, because 1t carries the
hot water from the top of the engine
into the radiator. The bottom hose
carries the cooled water either to the
pump, if there is pump, or directly
back to the water jacket if the engine
uses tine thermo-syphon cooling sys-
tenn.
Cars which use pumps for water cir
cuiation have smaller pipes and con-
sequently smaller rubber hose connec-
tons than those which use the thermO-
syphon cooling system. Hot water
gradually disintegrates the rubber and
cotton of the hose, and when the in
into a mush it frequently stops up the
hose connections to an extent sufh-
cient to prevent proper water circu-
lation. Replacing such hose con-
nection can be done in few min
utes by anyone who can use wrench
or screwdriver, and is an operation
which does not need the skilled and
expensive services of a repair man.
Sometimes engines which cool prop
erly in winter heat up when the first
warm DAVIS come In engines of the
pump circulation type this is often
caused by hitherto unsupported
freezing of the pump wheel blades.
suited in broken pump wheel blades.
Dismounting the pump and taking 1t
to pieces is the only way to make sure
Of this trouble. The remedy is new

Reply to Leagues Proposal to

SEVEN ANSWERS NEGATIVE
Evasive Responses Come From Spain,

All Agree To General
Principle.

New York.-Seven of the rs ma.
tons that have answered the appeal
of the League of Nations for an agree
ment to keep the military and naval
expenditures budgets for the next two
years within the appropriations for the
current year have replied in the mega
tive, says an official report from &C.
neva received by the League of Ma
tions news bureau. They are South
Africa, Brazil, France. Finland, Jugo-
Slavia, Poland and Greece.
These seven States, the report ex-
plains, all agree heartily to the gen
eral principle of limiting ornaments.
Reservations accompany almost ev-
cry one of the affirmative answers,
it adds, declaring that the main res
ervation, which occurs in almost every
answer, emphasizes the impossibility
for any one nation to lead the way to
disarmament without regard to what
is done by other nations.
Two governments, Austria and Bull
garia, answer that the question has
been settled for them by the peace
treaties, which regulate the extent OF
their defensive establishments.
Fourteen governments" the report
continues, accept the proposition
with only such conditions as have
been indicated above. These are Bo-
livia, China, Guatemala, Australia,
Canada, Belgium, Great Britain, New
Zealand, India, Italy, Holland, Chile,
Denmark and Norway
Spain Japan and Rumania have
given evasive answers, the spirit of
which, however, indicates unmistak.
able agreement with the purpose of
the appeal. Rumania agrees in prac-
tice, but points to the precariousness
of its present situation in regard to
Russia. Spain agrees also, but points
out the uncertainty of the budget as a
measure Of the extent of ornaments"

AVOID COASTINC
DOWN ALL HILLS
Mistake to Suppose That Motor,
Clutch and Transmission
Are Benefited.
PRACTICE QUITE DANGEROUS
With Clutch In and Motor Turning
Over Slowly Car ls Always Under
Control and Much Less Likely
to Skid.

More than 80 per cent of all mo
florists make practice of throwing
out the clutch when coasting down
hill. The reason they give is that
at saves the motor, clutch. and
transmission" In this they are In
error, for such practice not only is
dangerous, but is detrimental to those
very parts which one would save.
In some states, especially in the
west, driver caught going down
hill with his clutch released is Sc
verely dealt with. Over in France
during the war, driver caught do
ing this was put in the guardhouse.
There is no excuse for doing it says
writer in an exchange.
Negotiating a Decline.
Naturally when approaching a de-
cline, the vehicle is slowed up so that
the motor is turning over slowly. On
releasing the, clutch the car is no
longer held back by the compression
or the motor and gains speed at every
revolution of the wheels. Very often,
If the hill is at all long, the speed
attained alarms the driver, who then
applies his brakes. A brake which
even under ordinary conditions would
be sufficient to stand the car on end,
Or throw the driver through the
windshield, will fail to hold very
often when jammed on at high speed
on a down grade. 1t often happens
that if the road is rough the wheels
will lock and skid around, perhaps
throwing the car over the bank.
Have Car Under Control.
There is no better brake for noun
tain or any other grades, than the
compression Of the cylinders. Often
it is necessary to supplement that
braking effect with the service, or
emergency brakes, but with the clutch
in and the motor turning over slowly
you always have the car under control
and are far less likely to skid if you
should come to slippery spot, as
you often do in the mountains,
especially in the early spring when
the snow is melting.
