ercises in the frying pan. hop from the

lively circulation and rich coat of tan.
Then I'm ready for breakfast happy,

then the fun begins. Papa, Willie,

But | don't mind 1.-THE more tongues

flavor that's all my own-but I'm
always glad to share it with someone
else.
Sausage and cold weather make the
ideal breakfast combination. Tomorrow
from seven till nine, I'll be "doing my
stuff" in just about every other frying
pan in town. If you've never seen me
perform in yours, tomorrow is going to
be great day for a try-out. Just tell
your dealer you want the pure pork

DECLARES CHURCH
| |SHOPE FOR PEACE
British Leader Addresses
Federal Council Meeting
in Atlanta.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press,
ATLANTA. Ga, December 3.-The
part the church can take in bringing
about world peace was the principal
subject before the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in America
at the opening session of its NTH
quadrennial meeting and its first in
the South here today
The churchs mission toward world
peace was brought to the attention
of the council by an address pre-
pared by Sir Willoughby Dickinson
of London, former member of Par
lament and now honorary secre-
tary of the World Alliance for In
ternationaI Friendship Through the
Churches. His subject was The
Church Universal, the Hope for World
Peace"

president Of the council. presided and
sum mmarized briefly the WORK Of the
organization during the past four
Years
The last four Years. i'm spite Of
doctrinaI discussions, have witnessed
a steady advance in the cooperative
action Of the churches" he said
"They are planning together their
common ana primary evangeIis tic
work. They are uniting more
than ever in common worship. They
have worked together to meet human
need in Japanese earthquake and
Chinese families and Near East re
lief. They have spoken their mind
about war and world courts and
arbitration and international justice
and good will. and their voice has
been more influential than ever be-
fore.
III is perhaps to tho credit Of the
churches that they have not pleased
every "n". Their attitude on political
aud social questions has pleased
neither those who would have had the
churches committed TO partisan posi-
tons, nor those who would have had
the churches make no effort to realize
the Kingdom Of God in actual human
re- tioushipS.

who lectured before members of the

Sicilians live in the past in many
other ways, Mr.. Chatter declared. The

OPPOSE GAS-TAX PLAN
Personal Property Clause, They

LECTURE ON BOLIVIA GIVEN

ed for Better Service.

The proposed gasoline tax bill now
before Congress, with the amend
ments proposed by the Senate and
House District committees, was op-
posed In a resolution adopted by the
Brookland Citizens Association at a
meeting In the Brookland Masonic
Temple last night. Discussion of the
measure brought out expressions of
favor for the bills as originally franz
ed but, 1t was said that the personal
tax clause attached to the measure
after reaching Congress makes 1t
undesirable, because nothing would
be gained and the tax burden would
be decreased
An illustrated lecture on Bolivia
was delivered by T.. l.. Hess of the
geological survey.
The public utilities committees of
the citizens associations surround
ing Brookland will be requested to
frame a request TO the street railway
companies for improved car service.
Commendation was given in a res
olution to Representative Frederick

forts in behalf of the District.
Merchants and manufacturers will
be asked to support efforts to abolish

UNIFORM DIVORCE ACT
FAVORED BY CAPPER
Kansas Senator First Witness Be.
fore Subcommittee Consid-
ering His Bill.

Arguments in support Of uniform
divorce and marriage laws We're
presented at hearing yesterday before
subcommittee Of the Senate judiciary
committee on the resolution proposing
constitutional amendment and the
enabling bill introduced by Senator
Capper Of Kansas.
Senator Capper, the first witness be-
fore the committee, declared the divorce
evil was threatening the family life Of
the United States with destruction.
One divorce is granted now for every
six or seven marriages, he said, In this
country. He pointed out that there are
forty-nine' varieties of marriage laws
one for each of the states, and one for
the District Of Columbia, and that there
are forty eight varieties Of divorce
laws, one for forty-seven states and
one for the District. South Carolina
does not permit divorce.
Senator Capper said that one great
difficulty was that the states do not
recognize the laws of one another
on marriage and divorce
Other witnesses were Judge Robert
Grant of Boston, Mass, and Mrs
Florence White of Indiana. Judge
Grant told the committee that he did
not appear as "one who does not be-
lieve in divorce as the medium OF es-
cape from intolerable conditions. But
we have reached a point where d.
vorce has become so epidemic in this
country that we must look the situa-
tion in the face" said Judge Grant
"Uniform laws furnish the best tonic" "
