ME-. |NSURGENT
GROUP FAVORS
ELECTIONS
Movement Launched Against
Appointment OF District
Superintendents
~ international Newu Service.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May d.
The, insurgent group at the Meth
odist General Conference, under the
leadership of the Reverend Doctor
Ray Allen, Of Rochester; the Rev
erend Charles e. Baker, Of Indian
apolis; the Reverend James A. Bar
tholornew, of Pawtucket, r. l., and
Judge John Marshall, of Topeka,
Kan, launched q movement today
to have district superintendent
elected instead Of appointed by the
bishops.
The insurgent plan 10 to have the
General Conference adopt resolu.
tons declaring for q return to the
plan Of electing instead Of appoint.
ing, in vogue since 1920. The dis
trict superintendents have charge of
the churches under direction of the
bishops. A majority of the judi
ciary committee reported against
the legality Of such elections, but a
minority, headed by Doctor Allen,
recommended the change.
Sunday Observance Urged.
A resolution favoring nationwide
plans for better observance Of the
Sabbath was presented to the con-
ference by the committee on state
of the church. The proposed plan
is to urge upon editors, preachers,
teachers and church members the
Importance Of proper observance Of
the Lords day.
DR.. Henry H. Meyer, Of New
York, editor Of the Methodist
Church Sunday school publications,
believes the increase in contributions
in the schools Is accounted for by
the better furnishing and equipping
Of the schools and the use of more
and better literature.
An increase in the amount Of
money given for support Of aged
ministers was recommended to the
conference by the Reverend Doctor
Joseph B. Hingeley, of Chicago,
chairman of the board Of confer
ence claimants. The total Of annui.
ties and necessitous claims last
year was $4,162, 961, and there was
a deficit Of $1,379,661 at the end
Of the year.
Change in Greed Favored.
The Reverend Josiah I. Abel, Of
ing a minority of members Of the
OChGO Va bhO
recommended to the conference a
change in the Apostles Greed by
which the words 1.-The holy catholic
church" would be stricken out and
"Christ's holy church. substituted.
The present wording is favored by
a majority Of the committee In a
report submitted by the Reverend
Doctor George Elliott, Of Pitts
burgh.
Judge Henry Wade Rogers, of
New York, chairman Of the judiciary
committee, reported to the con-
ference that the committee has de-
cided to dismiss the appeal of the
Reverend William Hunter, jr., a
member Of the Pittsburgh confer
ence, who asked for a review Of
his dismissal following a trial on
charges of "unministerial conduct"
The committee found he failed
to make an appeal to judicial con-
ference prior to submitting his
case to the general conference and
he, therefore. had no grounds for
a review by the general body.

! saw the Enchanted Cottage"
last evening and it left q little
message with me. The play was
based, believe, on Browning's
saying that we all have two sides,
one to show the world, and ore to
show the person we loved.
So I am going to write this story
especially for the Government
workers, the girls in the stores and
in the office buildings. 1t il jest
a bit Of advice to be taken or left
as you see fit, like the provcrbial
coat-if it is your size, put it on.
Tire OF Struggle.
There comes a time in every
woman's and girls life when the
struggle for existence hardly seems
worth while, when you work like
fury all day long and come home
too tired to enjoy anything. Pos
sibly there is not an attractive per-
SON in your office. and you think
to yourself what can the use be Of
fixing up when you never see a
soul that amounts to anything.
Well, after awhile you don't bother,
your hair never sees a marcel, your
nose is shiny and your dresses are
dAwdy. You undoubtedly get lots
Of sleep with that combination, but
after awhile even that gets tire
some.
For recreation you go to a movie
with one Of the girls and in your
mind you think Washington men
are terrible, "pikers," never spend
a cent or even bother to come around
and see you. Do you know why?
Well, Just consider for a minute
the side of yourself you are showing
to the world. It isn't you best side
of course, but who knows that?
You are judged by your appearance
always, the charm Of your personal.
ity comes when you have gained
your entree.
Summer Garb Reasonable.
I am not advocating that you
spend fabulous amounts on your
wardrobe, but summer is coming
and now more than any other time
in the year you can be SO very
prettily garbed 80 reasonably.
Romance and beauty are absolute
ly inseparable. and deep in every
woman's heart is the urge toward
beauty. Don't stif1e, but take ad-
vantage Of It. The very desire
makes US softer and more charm

let's take advantage of it and not
wear left overs" from last year.
