Chicago. Dec. 2G.-To disseminate more widely the religious teachings Of Christian churches, radio broad casting is soon to be undertaken by many of the large denominations, ac- cording to an article in the forth coming issue of the Radio Digest.

Due to efforts of a company headed by Gugiclmo Marconi, radio inventor, n broadcasting station may soon be operated in the Vatican.

TROUBLE IN SUBWAY
Hundreds of Christmas Travellers, Rc- turning to New York Homes, Are Compelled to Walk.

New York, Dec. 26.-Hundreds of Christmas travellers returning to their homes early today were forced to walk the tide walls of the subway to emergency exits when a west side subway train was derailed between the Nevins street and Prospect park plaza stations.
 The crowds reached the street looking like an army of chimney sweeps, their holiday clothing streakcd with soot. No one was in- jured as the engineer threw over the emergency lever in his cab bringing the train to sudden halt and throwing scores of passengers to the, floor. The demilment was caused by the front wheels of the first truck leaving the rail grips.
 While emergency crews worked to get the car back onto the tracks trains continued to pile up behind and finally were hitched together so that passengers might walk through the cars to the nearest station. '
