most active stocks on the New York
curb recently. Overshadowed the rest

rusch Of dealing around the opening

trading in them was comparatively
quiet during the first half hour. How
ever. Prairie Pipe was active in odd
lots and sold at 322. This represents
a rise OF II points since the stock divi-
dend plans were announced by this

PASTORS DENOULNCE
BOXING FOR GIRLS

vinely inspired, much of Christianity's
hold on the public is lost. So, to keep
their congregations, these modern
lists naturally turn to some material
attraction. They put movies in the
church and have dancing, and now
boxing.
"Fundamentalists have never
doubted the Bible. but have accepted
it as a whole without 'up-to-date' In
terpretations, therefore they have no
need Of sideshows."
The Rev Frederick L. Selden. pas
tor of the Ravenswood Presbyterian
Church, spared mildly with the idea.
LAS far as am concerned. I have
other things to do" the Rev. Mr.,
Selden said THE Christian church
is still founded on the teachings of
Jesus Christ, it seems necessary to
reiterate It has no need of such
lures. My church has no program Of
physical education or development.
What activities we do have outside
the regular services are for diversion.
The body has part in our spiritual
life, It is true. but 1t is a secondary
part. Ny congregation does not ind
it necessary to learn boxing to lead
normal Christian life"
Other pastors criticised the Rev.
Loughborough's physical program"
as they coll It, in much the same way
but the Rev. ]. Morriston Thomas of
the Ravenswood Congregational
Church. came out in favor of boxing
for girls in church gyms.
Under proper supervision instruo-
ton in boxing would be harmless and
even beneficial" the Rev. Thomas
said. 81 believe that girls should have
as much self-expression and physical
training as boys. Customs are chang
ing, why shouldn't the church change
too?"

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE Wall

Stocks in the general list were
steady in the early dealings. An out

sharp advance in National Lead,

Selling Is Concentrated
Professional operators considered
time ripe to subject the markets pow
ers Of resistance to a test following
the substantial recovery in industrial
stocks over the last two weeks. Con-
oentrated selling was employed among
the speculative leaders to accomplish
this purpose with the result that the
general list showed a heavy tone to-
ward the end of the first hour. Stude-
baker receded to 1919 off practically
8 points from Saturdays high. while
particular pressure was exerted
against steel because of decrease of

expected in trade circles. If the Novem-

shown. SteePs orders Of 6,640. 900 tons

The Rev. Loughborough's enlarge

CAST OF "SPRINCTlME"
WILL PRACTICE ON FRIDAY
Character. for ''Springtime" Che.
sen and Will Hold Rehearsal
on Friday Evening

The play "Springtime" which is to
be given by the American Legion at
the opera house on Nov. 9Th and 10th,
will be one of the finest staged home
talent plays ever given at Willmar.
The two leading parts will be taken
by Miss Evelyn Dale and Miss Pen
| rose, and the two leading mems parts
will be taken by Monroe Nichols and
Russell Curran.
The play is essentially that Of mus
ical drama and deals with the romance
following thru four generations, each
act depicting a later generation, when
finally the romance is eliminated in
the last act or final generation, which
began four generations before, but
thru circumstances was never brot to
a happy ending until the fourth gener-
alton.
This play is one of the most pleas
| ing productions that will be given in
| Willmar this year. All those who saw
Katchakoo which was put on by the
Rogers Producing Co. last year, will
find that "Springtime" is far superior
| to that production.
Rehearsals for all people will begin
Friday evening, Oct. 9th, at o'clock
at Carlson Hall and it is requested
| that all those in the play be there at
Z o'clock in order that the director
| will become acquainted with them and
the people become acquainted with
the play, so it is requested that all
people taking part in this production
will make arrangements to be there

WATERPROOF CONCRETE

While concrete is ordinarily
thought of as a solid, impervious
material, there are, in fact, many
small openings in it through which
water can find its way, and this
makes it unsuitable where a water
proof structure is required. This
mas led to search for some sub
stance which can be mixed with the
concrete to fill these tiny, openings
and make the concrete waterproof.
one company doing this experiment
'al work has constructed water
lower, described in Popular Me-
cnanlcs Magazine, in five vertical
sections, two of which are made Of
ordinary concrete and the other
lhree of mixtures containing some
form OF waterproofng material.
