Or. Ward Tells M. p. Confer
ence Eighteenth Amendment
Is Menaced by interests.

CHESTERTON. Nd. April e.
Unless the church of Christ gets
better the Eighteenth amendment
will be swept away and the saloon
will come back, said DIR. A. Norman
Ward. president of the western
Maryland College. in his conference
sermon to members OF the Maryland
annual conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church. which opened its
ninety.fourth session at Christ
Methodist Protestant Church here
yesterday. He said the State was
in the gambling business on the
plea that I'VE need the money.
DR.. Ward also said the Jews and
other denominations have driven the
Bible out of schools in great metro
politan centers.
No less forcible were the words
Of the president of the conference,
DR.. James II. Straughn. in his re-
port. He said I'VE have men in
the legislature of Maryland DELHI
erately refusing to act with the law
of the land. as expressed In the
Federal Constitution. The shame OF
II Is that; with one exception, all
Baltimore politicians are against
prohibition and now are asking for
increased representation. II Balti-
more could and would get rid Of
the group that controls the legisla-
ture no one could or would object
to a fair representation"
The much discussed pastors sala-
ries question is working toward a
solution. The situation has been
met by the conference guaranteeing
to the ministers the minimum
salary, $1,000. Ten churches have
increased salaries during the past
year, two have decreased salaries
and the remainder have made no
changes. The major effect OF the
salary guarantee Is that while 1t
protects the minister he will have
to give better service.
The laymen say II they must pay
they must have value received.
They say, "Give us the right man
and there will be no more trouble
about the salary"
Dr. Straughn told his hearers
that last year there were more than
5000 conversions and more than
5000 acCessions. More than 800
memberships were for various rea-
sons discontinued. he said. This
number will be augmented by a

COCAINE SMUCCLERS IN
FRANCE BECOME ADROIT

PARIS, April 6.-Despite the
strictest lookout exercised by the
police force, inland and on the from
tiers, trafficking in cocaine goes on
as ever in France. Now that il is
not safe to smuggle the drug in aero
planes other means had to be found,
and some of these employed are
most ingenious and have so far es-
capped police notice. Mixing cocaine
with ordinary face powder is one
form. Other means used are hollow
heels in shoes and boots, hollow
canes and umbrella handles. Cheap
plaster dolls are also used
These articles, filled with cocaine
and often opium, are sent out of the
country or received into France, and
only those initiated know about their
secrets. A password is, however,
necessary to buy them.
