Rev. w. M. PhiIpott, Spring Green,
said: The period Of high moral en-
ergy is also the period of great sus-
ceptibiIity to evil Influences. Youth
finds little difficulty in assfmilating
old truths and new ideas.
Mrs. Weber of Milwaukee said:
Put into the environment of the child
what you want in the adult. Children,
particularly, learn through the five
senses.
The purpose of the Sunday school
is to build the principles of the Bible
into life, said ]. L. Rogers, secretary
of the state association. The child
whose conception of God doesn't
grow in correspondence with his ina
tellectual growth, as an adult is a
and doubter.
Rev. Truesdale of Reedsburg said
that of 200 boys before a court in
New York, none had come under
Sunday school influence, as stated by
tho judge.
Sunday school teachers who realize
with Wannamaker, and Heintz Of "57
varieties" fame, that it is a big,
worth while job, are the kind needed.
For teachers meetings a good feed"
helps to break down prejudices,
makes kindred spirits and tends to
permanence Of association said Rev.
E. c. Henke.
George Macarthur urged superin-
tendents to read the Bible, hold teach
ers' meetings regularly with varied
and once in while to get
a new superintendent, new blood, and
not always keep in the "same old
rut.'
In an address on South American
conditions, Mrs. Maud Newell Will
Jams said that there are in general
two classes, the very rich and the
very poor. Families of 16 and Is are
not exceptional. Nurses care for them
from infancy. Servants receive from
81 to So per month, with meager
food. About 7O@6 do not marry. The
bulk Of the children are born out Of
wedlock. Over 20 per cent neither
read nor write. The poems work
hard almost from infancy
but are very eager 70 learn if given
the chance and learn rapidly. Girls
are not educated, save to look and
appear beautiful.

So. Baptists Defend
Christ Against
'tfoderns''

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May %.
Southern Baptists today stood
committed to the belief in the
Divinity of Christ following a
stirring address by DIR. George
w. Truett, pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Dallas, Tex,
before 1900 delegates to the
Southern Baptist convention
here.
Declaring that Christ is the
mediator not only between God
and man, hut between man and
man, the Rev. Truett attacked
modern scholars who have de-
clared the Bible to be without
spiritual inspiration and its
message inadequate to meet the
needs of the present day. DR..
Truett declared that redemption
without the personal atonement
Of Christ as told in the New
Testament is futile.

on the shorter gowns, or Madame
would look ridiculous.
Evening dresses still have a
tendency to sweep up the dust ex-
cept when the frock is meant for
dancing. The different designers
vary on this subject. Lanvin still
makes a very long skirt which al
most touches the ground But as
a matter of fact, her clothes are
more for the theater and indoor
wear.
Molyneaux, who specializes in
sports clothes and sensible walking
gowns, is making some very short
ones with the normal waist-line.
Francis strikes conservative note
and hits the happy medium which
is somewhere around the ankle.
Sleeves for summer wear are
practically absent. There is moth
ing below the shoulder or just the
mere wisp of a cap-sleeve to cover
up the part of the arm which is
very seldom a thing of beauty.
The straight line is ever fash
ionable even If there are ruffles
and flounces. They must be flat
and simple and spoil the line in
no manner.

INSTITUTE
PRAISED BY
TAT I
Work of Restating U. S. Laws
Big and Badly Needed,
Says Chief Justice.

The American Law Institute,
formed yesterday for the purpose OF
restating the laws of the United
States, can do a great work in
maintaining, protecting and pre-
serving the principles Of civic
liberty upon which this country IL
founded. Chief Justice Taft last
night told 400 leading members OF
the legal profession at the banquet
at the Willard. which brought to q
conclusion the meeting which in
corporated the institute.
The Chief Justice asserted that 1t
is important that at this ''juncture
of instability" the legal profession
should unite in asserting the
necessity of the preservation OF the
principles which make the United
States a desirable place in which
to live.
All of the law of the country. the
criminal, the administration OF civil
law and the substantive civil law are
in need of a reform, he said. The
main difficulties in dealing with
re-statement of the criminal law are
to be found in popular sentiment and
in the legislatures of the States, he
continued
The necessity Of impressing Con.
gress and the legislatures with the
importance of doing something fadi-
cal" in regard to procedure in The
courts was emphasized by the Chief
Justice He declared that difficult

making bodies with the Importance
Of simplifying and clarifying legal
procedure.
John w. Davis, president of the
American Bar Association, promised
the newly formed institute the aid
of that association in the work which
it has undertaken. He asserted that
there are four prerequisites to the
successful prosecution of the work,
and outlined them as men, money,
patience and skill. The Bar Asso-
citation, he said, is able, through it's
forty-seven years experience in deal
ing with the problems confronting
the legal profession, to furnish ad-
vice and aid in these matters.
The final test of the success of the
work will come in the sympathy
which it finds among the practicing
lawyers, he predicted. The work,
when concluded, must be such as TO
commend itself to the craftsmen. that
theK may use it in their daily pracI
tice.
Formation of the Justinian and
Napoleonic codes was reviewed by
Herbert S. Hadley, former governor
of Missouri. He pointed out par
allels between the codification of
the old Roman and French laws
and the work being undertaken by
the institution. A declaration by
him that he hopes and believes
that France will again triumph
over the indifference of her allies
and the trickery of her enemies"
as she did when the Napoleonic
code was formulated. brought a
burst of applause from the members
present.

VOTERS
President Lauds Work OF Re-
publican Association-Speak-

lican State Voters Association at
the Willard last night. President

sideration is due those citizens Of
the District Of Columbia who main
tain organization and keep alive in
terest in political activities.
''It il always a pleasure to ex-
press my hearty appreciation OF
the efforts of this organization"
the letter said.
American citizens who chance
to be residents of the District OF
Columbia have need to be inspired
by considerably greater measure
of patriotism and civic interest
than is required of others If they
would express their suffrage priVi-
leges.
"They must keep up their voting
citizenship in some other commu-
nifty and go to more or less trouble
and expense at election time II
they would exercise their suffrage.
Consequently / always feel that a
somewhat special consideration is
due those citizens in the District
who maintain organization and
keep alive the interests in practi-
cal political activities" -
The Republican party will go be-
fore the people in 1924 on a pro-
gram of president Harding" Gen.
Frank S. Dickson, of Illinois, told

gram of this administration is one
which the country cannot denounce
and cannot afford to renounce.

POLLARD, FREE,
IS SILENT ON
VERDICT
Acquitted Of Killing Stenog-
rapher, He Goes to Home
of Parents.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 24.-For
the first time in years, Thomas
Pollard last night slept beneath the
parental roof.
Immediately following his acquit.
tai on a charge Of numbering Mrs.
Thelma Richardson, his former
stenographer on December II, last,
he was surrounded by friends and
relatives. For a short while Pol.
lard apparently did not realize what
had happened. He quickly regained
composure, however, and ten
minutes after the jury had decreed
mis- innocence he left the court
room.
Pollard's brothers were in court
and were overjoyed as the man
was held innocent OF the killing of
his former mistress. There has
never been a question that she
was killed by Pollard, he having
admitted holding the pistol when
t was discharged. but the intent
was lacking.
II have nothing whatever to
say" was the statement of Pollard
when newspaper men came' to him
and the erstwhile glib man on the
witness stand became a clam for
the time and made his way to the
street where he entered machine
and was Whirled away to his aged
father and mother who met him at
the door.
Mrs. Louise Beck, alleged other
woman in the case, sat in the court
room and her face was wreathed in
smiles as the verdict was an
nounced. She left the room imme-
diately, not waiting to see Pollard.
There was no demonstration when
Pollard went free. save that the
pent.up excitement for ten days
found expression in signs of relief
that it was all over. There was
deep sympathy for the members Of
the Pollard family.
One of the features of the affair
is that not once have members of
Tom Pollard's wife's family said a
word or appeared in the proceed
ings in court.
