SCIENTISTS HEAR
| NOTED LECTURER
Iauds Faith AS Cure For
Many Problems Of
Humanity

Describing Christian science as the
4 one way out of the many problems
confronting humanity today, John Ran
dali Dunn, of Boston, Mass, Sunday
Afternoon told an audience at the JEFF
ferson theatre that through Christian
science men may be saved from the ills
of both the body and the business
world.
You have noticed many times, with
out doubt" he said, ''the inscription
on buildings and cars which reads,
This way OUT Often have 1 wished
that / might write below this the
words, Christian science for every
student of the great subject realizes
more and more that the understand.
ing and practical application of the
science of Christianity affords the only
definte way out of the many problems
which confront and perplex humanity
today
Continuing, Mr.. Dunn said:
Let us now consider the case of
3 man financially SICK or who NAV
De said to have a sick business Can
this spiritual understanding of creation
helps him. Even so. Possibly every
business man will agree that a thinner,
happier and more hopeful view of
things would work wonders in the bust
hess world. No realm is more suscep-
t,ble to mental influences than the So
called business world. Superstition, fear,
doubt and panic find easy access there
to, and If not checked and nullified
by the action of Truth, these may
work much mischief with the individual,
the community, or the nation. Should
II be thought unreasonable that the
Word of God, the reflection of inf
mite mind, which in Jesus time stilled
storms and raised the dead, should
be able in our day to quiet fear. re-
store confidence, bring about harmony
an an organization, and promote and
bring to success a righteous business
venture?
The lecture Sunday afternoon was
gwen under auspices of the First
Church of Christ Scientist of Birminr-
ham.

reason for this attack on his daughter,
Garner was told by Solomon that it
was none of his business"
After a heated argument Garner is
said to have attacked Solomon with his
fists. The latter drew gun and
threatened to shoot Garner il he did
not leave the store. Continuing the
fight regardless Of the weapon, Garner
succeeded in taking it away from the
Greek and fired it at him twice, police

LOST HEAT
COSTS MILLIONS
ANNUALLY

Chicago, May l4.-An annual fuel
tax of S45D,OOO,OOO for the United
States is approximately the price
paid by home owners and tenant
for building standards of the United
States, which are extravagant of
fuel, according to survey COM
pleted here by the Bureau of Indus
trial Research, which extended into
all parts of the country and in
which Il number of state universi-
ties coOperated.
What it describe; as the wasteful
standard Of construction will be
maintained in buildings to be erected
this year, the survey says, and adds
that this will add many more mil
lions to the fuel tax and be passed
on to tenants in requirements for
excessive rents to cover the fuel
waste.
THE fuel consumed in 100000
homes of northern states is fully 80
percent and probably so percent more
than would be necessary if stand
ards were maintained in materials, y
the survey reports. The heat
which pours upward through the roof
of building in Chicago, New York
and every other large city where
artificial heat is required during
part of the year, represents a
wasted expenditure of fully billion
dollars every four years. for 60 per-
cent of the heat produced by burn
ing expensive fuel Under present
conditions escapes through the
roofs. The time honored fallacy that
air spaces between roof and upper
ceiling serve to stop heat losses is
/ discredited.
Owners of buildings have not
been taught that heat is transmitted
through lumber, brick and stone just
as it is through glass, but less rap
idly. Many homes in America have
fuel cost equal in period of %
years to the first cost.
| The survey proposes that all build
ings, large and small, be given a
fuel cost rating for the benefit of
purchasers and to encourage more
| permanent construction.

INTEREST ON
TAX LAND IS
DEFINED HERE
Attorney Generals Opinion
Explains Rate Which Is
TO BE Charged

a circular letter has been issued
to county officials Of the state con-
tanning Il ruling of the Attorney
General on the rate of interest on
assignments of the county's rights
to real estate struck off at a tax sale.
The circular of the tax commits s;oner
follows:
The Attorney Generals office has
made an important ruling concerning
the rate of interest upon assignments
of the county's rights in real estate
struck off to the county at tax sale
]. In case real estate was struck
oft to the county in December, 1928,
the county's rights therein may be
assigned, and if the assignment is
made before March /. 1924. the
amount which must be paid for the
assignment is the amount for which
the real estate was struck off to the
county plus interest at the rate OF
6 percent per annum without the s
percent penalty which attaches after
the tax sale. This conclusion results
from the language of Section 22O3
c. l.. 1913. together with the fact
that Section 219l. c. L. 1913. does not
specify the rate which the county
treasurer shall bid ut the tax sale,
and the legal rate Of 6 percent is
therefore presumed.
2. In cases of assignment after
March 1. 1924, the terms indicated
above apply with the exception that
there must be paid also the half of
the 1923 taxes which is deiinuuent.
together with the penalty upon the
the delinquent half. If the assign
ment be made after the entire 1923
tax is delinquent, the entire 1923 tax,
together with the penalty upon it.
must be paid.
3. The rules above stated apply
to the hail indemnity tax as well as
to general taxes.
4. 1t is the county auditors duty
to make assignments upon the terms
above indicated. No authorization
by the county board il required.
6. When the owner of land which
has been struck off to the county re.
deems, he must pay the amount for
which the same was struck of plus
the penalty of percent plus inter
est at tire rate of 6 percent per an
mum on the amount for which the
land was struck off. This is true re-
