Political Alliance Between Other Religions And Other
 Powers, Evangelist Says
STATE CAPITAL BURTAU
 THE AGE-HERALD NTouA~nv,.awv AIo G~r4 Q


 Dr. Bob Jones, evangelist of this city, who has conducted revlvals and other religious meetings In 30 states of the union, declared in an address here this afternoon that Protestant Ism Is losing it's power as a great dominant religious force In America. q. is not In numerical numbers that we are losing, but there Is political alliance being formed between the religions which are antagonistic to Protestantism and the foreigners and the underworld. That's the explana- ton of how she is losing" asserted the evangelist.
 The address was delivered at the First Baptist church under the auspices of the Protestant Christian council of Montgomery. His subject was "Protestantism, Her Perils and Her Duties"
 At the outset he said he was firing the opening gun of the great fight he expects to wage all over America One hundred thCusa;.d copies of the address have been requested in the city of Chicago, he said.
 Birmingham, he declared, Is one of the greatest Protestant cities Of America and the world "The cities of America, with few exceptions, are no longer controlled by Protestant forces" the evangelist said.
 Evolution Theory Caifed Wrong.
 Touching upon evolution as taught by many college professors and oth- CTS, pr. Jones declared that the theory Is all wrong and it was evolu- ton, as taught In Germany, that brought on the World war few years ago.
 Those forces which are fighting Professionalism In America are trying to destroy respectable Sabbath, said the speaker. "Protestants. you listen to me: A respectable Sabbath was given to America by Protestant ism, and the fact that the cities Of America no longer have Sabbath Is just another proof that Protestant ism has lost its influence as domi- nant religious force"
 In this connection he referred to the recent defeat In the Alabama

NET CHANGES ARE SOME WHAT MIXED. IN BOND PRICES
Volume Of Transactions Con- tinue Small, But Increased
 Demand Reported

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-(By Asso- ciated Press )-Net changes in bond prices were somewhat mixed during the past week, with slight majority pointing up. The volume of trans actions continued small New bond offerings totaled $44,671 800, as com pared with $30,376, ,000 the previous, week, and investment houses re- ported an increased demand on the part of investors.
 There were some rather spectacu- lar changes in the prices Of bonds that might be termed semi-specula- tive. American Cotton Oil 5s closed the week about points higher, and Mexican bonds moved up several points on announcement of resump- tion of diplomatic relations.
 Active United States government bonds held relatively steady through out the week, and closing prices were practically unchanged from a week ago. Several large sales of liberties were reported to have been made over the counter for the account of the British government.
 Despite unfavorable rews from Europe, most of the foreign issues were firm or improved, although net changes were small. South Ameri- can issues generally improved during the week.
 Conflicting movements were re- COrueQ Dy uOmSStlC lHQuSl-ldl anu railroad mortgages. Virginia Caro- lima Chemical bonds moved in sym pathy with the better demand for chemical stocks, and this influence also resulted In moderate improve ment of other industrial liens. The demand for fractions showed some improvement. Seasonal requirements for credit tended to make the money market somewhat firmer Time money continued dull at 5h per cent.
 Several large bond offerings are in the offing, notably the Argentine government $6O,000,000 loan and a. $20,o00000 issue of Union Pacific equipment trust certificates, but the exact date the bonds will be floated has not been disclosed.
 Important offerings last week were s24,000,0oo per ceent 12-yeaF notes of the Associated Oil company at par, $10,000, 900 6 per cent 30-year refunding bonds of the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light company at 9SN to yield 6.10 per cent. s3,s07 800 61a per cent 3o-year improvement bonds of the Staten Island Edison corporation at 99 to yield c.57 per cent and s2,7oo, ,o00 6k per cent 30- year mortgage bonds of the Indusian Electric company at 99 to yield 6.57 per cent.

EUROPE IS { HUNGRY, UNDERWOOD ASSERTS

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. A. Speaking here last night, Senator Oscar w. Underwood said concern ing European conditions:
 If you are spender, and there are spenders everywhere, you can go to the white light districts of Lon don and Paris, hear bands play and see restaurants very busy where peo- pie are throwing their money away. In these places you will find Europe gayer than before the great war. Nothing Is. there to indicate; that Europe Is suffering, but If you had gone with me through the villages and small towns of France you are starving, and have no food, but they have not sufficient food; I do not mean they are freezing, they have some fuel, but not sufficient fuel: they are making a great effort and hanging on by the skin of their teeth to make ends meet, because the busi- ness world has not gotten back to functioning along lines where men can find work
 "Now tell me that it is of no in- terest to America. If it is no interest it Is because of America closes. their eyes and will not look squarely at what Is obvious. It Is not a question of whether your boy is going to be called back with the colors to Europe, 1t Is question of whether your counting house, store, or fac= tory continues to prosper. That Is the issue that confronts you. The key Is in France; there Is the key to the situation. The condition in France is not the result of the de- feat of the treaty of Versailles, but the treaty that was made between France, England and America to guarantee the border line of France France feels that England has abon- dOned her and wa have desarfad har and she has her back to the wall fighting for what she thinks are her just rights. She has Germany by the industrial throat and will not re- lease her hold unless her border line Is saved. If she does not turn 1t loose Europe is faced with industrial disaster and there Is no other country other than yours big enough and potential enough to guarantee to France what she demands"

 To Back Al Smith.
 Touching upon national political affairs, pr. Jones said" 1t looks to me like an effort Is going to be made to line up the Catholic influences, the influences of other religious groups, and the whisky interests in America to nominate Al Smith of New York for the presidency" This statement has made after he had read an article quoting Norman D. Mack of Buffalo, to the effect that Govern or Smith would enter the next demo- cratic convention as contender for the nomination for President.
 Concluding, he said. Protestanism must unveil Jesus Christ. Tn the shifting scenes of government, Jesus has been lost. He had no seat at the peace table. No wonder the world is in turmoil and trouble! judgment war and strife will continue as long as Gods Son is crowded out. Protes- tantism must be put on campaign of education.
 "The people of America-especially the young people-are forgetting the things for which we are supposed to stand. And, too, Protestantism must learn again how to protest, we must put on our fighting clothes and go out to war-I do not mean literal war. If we don't fight 8 bloodless battle now, we may some day have to flight a battle of blood. American Protestantism Is the hope of the world. Our Protestant brothers in the cities have their backs to the wall. They are fighting like heroes under the banner of the cross. We must unite and help them"

 In Taxes

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Collec- tions of internal revenue by the United States government from all sources during the fiscal year ended June 30, last, totalled s2,621,745,227, a decrease of s575T05, ,s55 from the to- tai of the preceding fiscal year.
 Of the revenue received last year, s1,6s9, ,177, 4O9 was derived from taxes on incomes and profits, as compared with s2,oS6,s1s.464 In the preceding 12 months.
 On the basis of the calculation that nearly $40O, ,000,0O, or five-sevenths of the reduction in receipts. was due to the slump In income and profit taxes, Commissioner Blair of the in- ternal revenue bureau, declared in a statement today that business de- pression was largely responsible for the decrease. The commissioner added that some of the reduction was attributable to changes in the tax law.
 Notwithstanding the lower rates in force under the revenue act or 1921" MT. Blair said, increased revenue has been received on the first and second installments of in- come tax which Is derived from in- comes last year, over similar install ments last year, which came from the incomes of 1921.

RAIL WAY EARNINGS KEEP |NC UP WELL
Bond Issues Very Popular With Utility Corporations
 Of Country
By WALTER E. BROWN,
 Editor New York Commercial Leased Wire f0 The ARe-HNraldl |

NEW YORK, Sept. Ex-Governor Pinchots proposal for averting the coal strike was variously received From the standpoint of expediency, it was deemed about the best that could be done, but as to actually set ting the difficulty, 1t appeared to fall far short of the requirements. It was of course a compromise, so that the unions were bound tQ make some gain
 Railroad earnings are keeping up exceptionally well, and decreases where shown are largely the result of extensive expenditures for main- tenance and new equipment. Hos tility toward the railroads is rapidly diminishing, and while there Will be some vociferous attacks when Con- gi ess reconvenes in December, 1t will come largely from the Brookharts, Il e LaFollettes and the Magnus Johnsons.
 A development which has not re- ceived the amount of attention that 1t deserves has been the tendency mere particularly on the part of util- ity corporations to do their financing through bond issues. This gives the bends a wider distribution. so that they can be taken by persons of smaller means where they would not be takep by larger investors because their incomes would be absorbed in taxes.

 Bond Issues Popular.
 It is probably because they are more easily disposed of that these corporations are tempted to resort to them, notwithstanding that it pro- duces an increase of fixed charges which is not a very desirable situ- ation in lean years It would be far more preferable if some of this fi- nancing could be done through Stock sales, but it happens that in many states new stock issues are not pos sible without the approval of the state utility commissions, which is not always easy to obtain.
 While optimism may be misplaced, there is, nevertheless a feeling that the Ruhr situation will work itself out in some way. With the mark quoted at 100000 to the dollar, 1t is absurd to quote them at all. The Cuno policy of passive resistance has failed of it's purpose and has only increased the distress of Germany The reports received here during the week that the Stresemann govern ment had decided to discontinue this pa ssive resistance were generally credited notwithstanding the deniais, on the theory that there was no other course open.

UNIT HOUSE SOLVES
EXPENSE PROBLEM
Built Little by Little Home
Can Be More Easily
Financed.

The unit house is a home that is
built little by little as the owner
has the money to build it or as the
size of the family increases. One of
the principal objections to the small
bungalow is that sooner or later the
occupants will want more space and
will then be compelled to sell and
purchase a large home.
The unit house solves this prob
lem, for additional units may be
added as desired. The house will look
attractive after the completion of
each unit. The original plan provides
for the addition .t units at a mini
mum of cost. no heating or plumb
ing hXtures need be moved for in
these matters the first unit anticipates
the addition of other units. The unit
house IS built So that the first sec
tlon Is large enough for a small fam
I!y. 1t has large living room, bed
room, Kitchen. bathroom, full base
Inent and complete equipment CT
heating, plumbing and lighting de-
vices.
The cost of the first unit should be
only about two-thirds of the com
plete house. Thus. If the complete
mousse costs around $4,000, the first
unit would cost only about s3,500
This great reduction in the first cost
of modern home will make it pos
stble for thousands of families to
leave rented apartments and begin
living in their own homes.
Under this plan the owner of ?

FOR SUMMER PORCH
Furnishing Of This Center Of Com.
fort in Hot Weather Is
Important.

One of the most important parts of
the house in hot weather is the porch.
To make the porch habitable and at
tractive does not cost an excessive
amount of money. although all the
money the home owner can afford to

is money well spent.
1t Is more important to use good
taste than It Is to use large sums of
money. The porch Is the center of
life in the summer time.
The use OF screens to keep out flies
and mosquitoes is important, although
there are certain styles of porches in
the use Of which screens seem incon-
gruous. The colonial porch with tall
columns must remain open all the
time for the sake OF appearances.
