Unitarian AssO.
Amalgamates with
General Conference

Boston, May 20-The American
Unitarian Association at it's annual
meeting today unanimously voted to
adopt a plan of reorganization
whereby the association is amalga-
mated with the general Unitarian
conference. The conference approx
ed the plan at it's meeting in New
Haven last fall.
The association as reorganized will
have membership of churches and
church societies instead of individ-
uals. DR.. Frederick r. Griffin of
Philadelphia, chairman of the COM
mission which prepared the plan,
said that it would make the associa-
ton the most Democratic religious
body in the country.
President Samuel A. Eliot of
Cambridge was reelected for his
18th year. The vice presidents chos-
en- are James A. Tufts, Exeter, n.

Justice Frank. A. Hiscock, Syracuse,

and Murray Z. Williams. Montreal.

President Emeritus Charles w.

of the president of the association,
in an address said that this was the

"Since the World War" he said,
he could see a great acceieration OF
progress which was hopeful in the
highest degree for liberty and Demo-
cracy and all phases of human well
ware.
A new and hopeful note is begin

nations in Europe, Rev. T. Rhondda
Williams, English author, and
preacher. said in an address before
the association. He added that the
impression made by the character of
Prime Minister Macdonald of Great
Britain was an important interna-
tional asset"
Turning to religious discussion Mr..
Williams urged departure from the
attitude that the only good ideas are
Inherited ideas. The church, he said
"has often tried to curb the forward
mind and has not been enough con-
cerned to spur the backward
mind"

in America, sad as 1t is in many
ways, will do an enormous amount
of good because it will clear the is

to allow freedom of learning and
liberty of speech or whether they are
going to consider old standards OBJ

= The visit to the white house Of the
Republican members headed by SEN
ator Lodge of Massachusetts,, the

WASP WAISTS TO COME BACK,
Paris Dressmakers in Concerted Move
 to Restore Corst.

The great dressmakers of Paris are making a concerted attempt to restore the tight corset and the wasp waist as a basis of the new fashions. The at- tempt is inspired by the famous women dictators of French fashion, but will be hotly resented by American women, and in the result lies the fate of the fashion monarchs.
 This was the core of the news di- vulged yesterday by William Mordwin, student of fashion and creator of the natural silhouette dress forms, who re- turned from Paris a day or two ago. Mir. Mordwin prefaced his announce ment with the statement that he had the most important news of the day-"outside of great political pro- nouncement, which do not anticipate" !"
 '"The great fashion masters who hold forth in the Place Vendome and the Rue de la Paix," he dictated, "are again planning-very seriously and deliberate ly this time-to coax the American woman into reverting to the old style of corsets. Such an attempt on the part of such masters is nothing short of the most stupid and most uncalled for in- suit to the wonderful profile of the modern American woman. That which is naturally perfect in itself should be respected as such, and therefore any attempt to make it artificially freakish is as absurd as though the modern hu-

PEERLESS CAR VERY POWERFUL
Exceptional SrnoOthness Also Characteristic
 Of Six

The unsual power and smoothness of the new Peerless six has been the sub ject of much comment among those who have ridden in this car.
 According to Peerless officials these two features are due to several engi- neering advantages, among them the ad- vanced design of the new type of mani fold which is in use on this new Peer less.
 After a lengthy series of tests made during the long period in which the new Peerless six was in an experi- mental state, engineers at the great plant in Cleveland adopted a manifold of the Swan type, which is radically different from the conventional types of manifolds. That in use on the Peer less six has square section with abrupt right angle turns instead of a round section with curving turns.
 It is declared that this system not only conducts the wet fuel mixture of today in uniform quantities to each cylinder, but keeps it in the vaporized condition in which it leaves the car buretor. There are nc, pockets in which liquid fuel can collect, and the sharp right angle turns set up a. state of turbulence that keeps the gas from re- verting to its original liquid state.
 From an engineering standpoint the results noted are indicated by increased torque, uniform firing even when start ing cold, lessened vibration and lessened carbonization.
 To one riding in the new Peerless six the effect of the new manifold is i'm mediately noticeable in increased smoothness, greater power and an un- usually quick acceleration even from a walking speed.

t.' . r4a fsa. from . meeting pf Nash dealers in At lanta held for the express purpose of learning what the dealers themselves think about the all-around value of the Nash. The dealers were unanimous in declaring the Nash tho best value in the entire motor car field. Not a single dealer selling the Nash had experienced any trouble with the present model Nash. In fact, every dealer declared 1t to be the most satisfactory car he had ever handled, regardless of price.
 A mechanical trouble of even the slightest consequence is greatly magni- fled in the eyes of the dealer since he comes in contact with this trouble so often. In view of this fact, it was thought remarkable that not a single Nash dealer could offer any suggestion as to how the Nash factory might im- prove their product.

THE WEB THAT RADIO WEAvEs
Scientific Writer Sketches The Fossil
 biIities of BrOadcasting

Look at map of the United States of Canada, of any country, and try to conjure up a picture of what radio broadcasting will eventually mean to the hundreds of little towns that are set down in type so small that it can haradly be read
 If these little towns and villages so remote fro none another, so nationally related and yet physically so unrelated, could be made to acquire sense of in timacy, if they could be brought into direct contact with one another!
 This is exactly what radio is bringing about. The telegraph and the telephone did much to weave us into a political and economic fabric, but a coarse fabric with wide meshes How fine is the texture of the web that radio is even now spinning! It is achieving the task of making us feel togethehr, think to- getheE, live together.

If you can have a few spare moments at this season you cannot use them to greater advantage than in thinning the fruit on your peach and apple trees. Formerly nobody thought of thinning the fruit on a tree, but experience has shown that a much more satisfactory crop is secured by this means. No commercial peach-grower thinks now of neglecting this work and apple-growers are beginning to practice thinning. The rule is to have the fruit so far apart that no two specimens touch, and thinning is best done after the nat ural drop, which usually comes in June,

 "I have been accused few years ago of being a creator of the modern sill houettes. The credit of this as a mat ter of fact should go where it belongs not to me, but to the wonderful and graceful lines of the modern American woman who was my inspiration and my guide."
 MT. Mordwin elaborated his statement saying that he had seen with his own eyes the wasp waist designs accepted by the greatest French dressmakers for the coming season, and that these crea- tions would be exhibited within a month when the racing season began. They will be displayed in all the Paris shops next fall.
 This is the greatest mistake that the French masters have ever made. It will

Published Report
Concerning Beets
At SCOTS False

A few days ago there was published
in the Montrose Press an article
which stated there were several tons
of sugar beets-about 400 tons-that
were unclaimed at the Scott beet
dump on California Mesa. The article
intimated that a mistake had been
made in the weighing and that the
farmers were looking ino the matter
Billy" Williams who had charge Ct
the weighing at the dump said there
was absolutely no truth in the state
ment as published
Manager Draper when asked re-
garding the matter. stated that there
was a shortage all right in weights,
but It was the other way. The Holly
Sugar Corporation paid the growers
who delivered beets to the Scott dump
for nearly 275 more tons of sugar
beets than the scales at the factory
recorded when delivery was made and
final weights were checked up.
In other words the scales from
the date OF delivery to Scott dump by
the growers until the last load was
re-deliyered TO Delta factory showed
a shrinkage of over 10 per cent.
