MINISTER ATTACKS
COLLEGEPRES|DENT
Dr.. Straton Says Head of
Brown Is Too Liberal
With Teachers. "
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. J.. May 23.-Dr.
John Roach Straton, pastor of the
Calvary Church. New York city,
caused the opening session of the
Northern Baptist convention TO be
thrown into an uproar today when
he objected to the presence Of Presi-
dent w. H. p. Faunce Of Brown Uni
versity, a speaker.
DR.. Straton. strict fundamentalist,
protested against the presence OF DR..
Faunce on the ground that the uni
versity was too liberal in its views
A roar of disapproval and Kisses
drowned DR.. Straton.
DR.. Straton said that Brown did not
require a teacher TO sign his beliefs
regarding a Baptist creed, but per-
mitted individual Interpretation.
Gets Little Support.
DR. Straton appeared to receive only
scattering support. Cheers greeted DR..
ers hailed the demonstration as a
victory for the progressives.
In his speech DIR. Faunce described
the industrial life of today as the
foe OF the home and the church and a
caricature of the Christian order Of
'Tn the Industrial life around US
pagan principles too often prevail, y
he said. When the Industrial world
is divided into two parties, one deter
mined to give little labor for much
money and the other determined to
give little money for much labor, our
Industrial life is simply a continuous
silent warfare. Men do not exist tq
make shoes or barrels, but shoes and
barrels are made for men. Our pres
ent acquisitive must be transformed
into a constructive society, aiming
not primarily at dividends or wages,
but at the service of men"
Belief of People.
Mr.. Faunce declared the most vital
OF all tasks today Is to make Thy
kingdom come" in our international
relations He questioned whether
people of today believed in Christian
principles, or whether they believed
might was right.
"The Christian religion" he de-
clared, cannot endure such ma
tional attitude and it repudiates all
greed, rapacity and oppression even
when those things wear the mask of
pseudo patriotism"

to be receiving consideration for
the appointment. Golf has the

ANGORA SHAWL s
RETURN To
FASHION
Will Be Folded and Draped
Across Shoulders in Guise
Of Cape.
By ALICE LANGELER.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

PARIS, Jan. 20.-Remember when
your grandmother used to be so
proud Of her cashmere shawl which
came with her wedding trousseau?
Folded in points and folded IN
squares, she wore it many a year
before she finally decided to throw
it over the piano or divan.
This spring, fashion tellers say,
will see the wearing of the shawl
for daytime wear. It will be the
Angora shawl, a great square of
dark wool edged with wide bor-
der of East Indian tissue in gold
and silver. Folded and draped
across the shoulders in the guise,
of cape, the grand coutouriers
are making them to be worn with
pretty tailleurs and chemise gowns.
Spanish shawls are being revived
for evening wear, lovely shawls
from Madrid and lovelier ones still
from Seville, in heavy china silk.
There are sombre black ones of the
Venetian type and brilliant red,
yellow and green ones; some en-
tirely covered with flowers and
birds, others framed only by light
garland of flowers richly embroid-
cred with a soft silk fringe so long
and so fine that it dances about
the body at the slightest movement.
They are worn in the manner of
the Spanish dancers, covering the
right shoulder and drawn tightly
about the hips, while the other
shoulder is left bare and white. 1t
makes a handsome costume for the
ball which will be sought by all the
fanatics Of the dance. But they
must remember the shawl demands
an almost perfect form.
