LOS ANGELES, March 26.-A re- quest was received by the City Coun- cil recently that a franchise be granted motor bus company deslr- ing to establish lines in Los Angeles from Mrs. Hattie Weikel, who de- clared that out of 1,150 street car rides from her home to the down town business district and return she had been able to secure seat only four times. The rides, she said, were spread over a period of four years.
 In view of the lack of accommo- dations provided by the street car companies, she argued, the street car system should be supplemented by motor bus lines. The matter was referred to the city's Board of Public Utilities.

HELL UNSCIENTIFIC PREACHERS THINK
Younger Generation Long Ago Dis carded Punishment Theory
 They Say

CHICAGO, March 26.-Fear of the traditional fire of Hell and hope of some day being the possessor of harp in Heaven no longer serve to keep youth in the straight and narrow" in the opinion of several leading Chicago preachers.
 The youth of today long ago dis carded the orthodox idea of Hell and more and more the adult is begin ming to cling to the new idea, accord ing to Rev. Ernest little, as ex- pressed in a recent address, and concurred in by many of Chicago's divines
 The old idea smacks of the dark ages, the preachers say. The psy- chology of He'll and Heaven has lost it's punch, the Rev. William Chal- mers Covert, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, said.
 "The element of fear in religion has had it's day" said the Rev. Rufus White, pastor of the Peoples Liberal Church. Anyone who thinks for himself will exclude the idea of Hell and eternal damnation as unscientific"

GRAND ICL0O
 OF PIONEERS
 MEETS NENANA

The Grand Igloo, Pioneers of Alas. ka, meets in annual session at Nenana on Thursday. Alvah Flames will rep, resent Cordova Igloo and Mrs. Flames the local women's auxiliary.
 This is expected to be the greatest gathering of this organization ever held in Alaska, both because Nenana is centrally located and because of the easy connections made possible by the completion of the Alaska railroad.
 Many questions of vital importance to the Territory will be taken up and recommendations made to the Terri torial legislature and Washington, D. c. Chief among these matters is the fisheries question, the care of the Alaska insane and the organization of a Junior Pioneer auxiliary along the line of the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden North, which was start ed in the Interior ten years ago. It is hoped that the Pioneers of Alaska will take this up and foster it for the benefit of the young people in the Ter ritory.
 New officers for the Grand Igloo will be elected for period of one year. The present officers are: Jo- sepr Ulmer, of Ketchikan, grand pres ident; Anthony J. Dimond, of Valdez, first grand president; Percy G.. Charles of Ketchikan, grand secre- tary; l.. M. Churchill of Wrangell grand treasurer; A. P. Kashevaroff, of Juneau, grand historian; Rev. s. Hall Young, D. D., of Nome, (who is life member), grand chaplain; Axel Os- berg, of Ketchikan, grand sergeant-at- arms.
 The grand trustees are E. c. Austin, Eric Forss and J. R. Heckman of Ket- chikan; Walter Blanton of Hyder, and H. R. Shepard of Juneau.

IRISH WILL FIGHT
 "POTEEN" MAKERS
Erin's Moonshiners Will Be Deprived of Ingredients for Illicit
 Booze

DUBLIN, March 26. - Moonshine making is to be stamped out in Ire land, Kevin O'Higgins, Home Minis ter to Dail Ereann, declares
 "This making of moonshine," he said, "has now reached such stage that it has become a national crime. Several people have died from the drinking of illicit spirits; in at least two cases it has been responsible for two murders.
 Special measures are to be taken for the stoppage of this ruinous traffic. Our first aim will be to deprive the poteen maker cmoon- shine is poteen in IrelandD of the materials for the making of that vile product, and enforcement of drastic supervision on the sale of methylated spirit to the extent Of even preventing altogether its sale upon Sundays and Saturday nights.
 "As sugar, treacle, matted barley, oats and wheat and preparations of glucose sugar are the principal in gradients which the poteen maker uses, the cutting off of such mate rials-or at least making it exceed ingly difficult, if not impossible, to get them-will be the first step.
 "The sale of brown and coarse sugars, treacle, glucose in any con- siderable quantities to any person, unless for certain business pur- pases, such as the making of con- fectionery and jam, is to be pro- hibited, unless the permit of the military commanding officer of the district is first obtained. The same rule will obtain with regard to matted barley, oats and wheat, un- less in the legitimate business of a malt dealer or exporter. Yeast will be similarly dealt with"

AUTHOR FOR NEW
 PHONE MANNERS
CalIinu at Private Home Is Same as Opening Front Door Without
 Permission, He Says

LONDON, March 26-"There must be new code of telephone man. ners," says John Maynard Keynes famous economist and author.
 Keynes complains that the tele- phone outrages domestic privacy. He puts forward the view that strang- CT to be allowed to invade any mans apartment by means of the tele- phone, uninvited and unwanted, is a blot on modern civilization.
 "At no time during the day" pro tests Keynes, "can l rely upon a quarter of an hours uninterrupted work Any unconcentrated person who finds it easiest to ring up than write a postal card, any hostess making up her party, any American tourist visiting England who thinks he would like few words with me, is entitled by the existing cOnven- tions, and is able, suddenly and at any hour to make me interrupt my business and attend to his or hers.
 q propose three principles for the new telephone manners" contin- ues Keynes, beginning to get irrit- able, heated and annoyed.
 "1. To ring up a private house, in any case where a postal card or letter would do equally well, should be thought inconsiderate.
 "2. A stranger should have no more right to use the telephone of private house than to open the front door.
 "3 It should be bad manners, eX- cept among intimate friends, to issue an invitation on the telephone, which gives the invited person no time, without apparent rudeness on his part, to consider whether he is really free and whether he wants to ac- cept."

 What her real name is she will not divulge, and she says nothing of her early life, except to reveal that she was born in little Wis consin town some 50 years ago. She is a gentle, cultured woman, with fine, intelligent eyes and rapidly graying hair Thirty years ago Miss Hoshida, as she is now known, went to Japan as a missionary and since then has lived at the Japanese naval base at Yokosuka, where she has worked among Japanese sailors. She speaks Japanese fluently and is now studying the written language.
 When the vessel on which she arrived here docked Miss Hoshida had to wait her turn with the other aliens to take the regular immigra tion examination. She likewise had to pay the alien tax of sS.
