MUST RID CHURCH
 OF SUPERSTITION
Rev, John |. Davis Sees Protes-
 tantism in Danger

The only way Protestanism will
 ever live, will be by getting rid of
 some of the heather superstitions and philosophy it took on in the middle ] ages said Rev. John l.. Davis at the 1 third annual meeting of Eyeryman's Bible class yesterday morning. 1 MT. Davis took his theme from an article published recently in several
 religious magazines asking, Where is
 Protestanism Going" He said it is headed in one of three directions. It IS headed either to the old Roman religion of authority, to the old Gre clan religion of philosophy or the old Jerusalem religion of simplicity. Because men don't get what their spirit craNes for. sixty million people in America do not attend church at all" he said.
 The only thing that will save christianity today is to get back to the old simple religion and get rid of the elaborate ceremonials of modern religion. Love the Lord, thy God, with thy whole heart and thy neigh bor as thyself."
 If it goes in any other direction I fear for its future.
 Tt would be sad thing if all de- nominations were combined" he said, because then we would swallow everything they told us instead of do- ing our own thinking. Where there is absolute solidity there is usually dearth of brains. We want to keen in this United States the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press"
 Would Disband One Army"
 MT. Davis created mild sensation m the class when he advocated from the pulpit the dissolution of one of the armies and the return to the orig ihal system Of two armies. The min lster was one of the enthusiastic boosters for the White army when il was created, but apparently has joined in the wave of sentiment sweeping over tho class for the return to the Red and Blue armies. He ad- Nocated putting the officers of the third army to work in the two other units.
 The White army was organized a ' f'"' "l'fi th' iitss sldTttH ana TOT a while was exceedingly active. but dur ing the past year has almost ceased 10 function.

NEW YORK, June 22.-(By Asso- ciated Press. .)-Plentiful supplies of money seeking employment and a firm undertone securities and commodities were the main characteristics of the past week in fiance and business
 When the week opened the markets had sustained a nine-day advance and the majority of observers predicted at least temporary halt partly on expected profit taking and partly on the belief that the extent of the rise indicated that much of the buying needs for in vestment purposes had been satisfied
 Though the security markets were resting, the bulk of the industrial news received during the week indi- cated that re-adjustment of manufac- turers operations to conform to stocks or commodities on hand and current consumptive demand still was going on. Sharp curtailment in the. produc- tion and sale of motor vehicles ad- versely affected manufacturing lines dependent on the automobile industry. Despite efforts made earlier in the

TRIED SUBMARINE
But The King Was Wetter And Wiser
 When He Came Up

The question has been raised as to the originator of the sumbarine, and an English writer has made out a case in favor of Alexander the Great, who described the bottom of the sea in a glass case covered with asses skin, which was made at his order. That bold general must have been absolutely fearless, for in those days it required no small courage to allow yourself to be shut up in box and lowered below the water. Apparently if tried even Alexander's nerves, for he saw many monsters and some things so horrible that he would not speak of them till the day of his death. It must be re- membered that he would be able to see little; so probably imagination played a large part in making him think he had seen the things that he said he saw. Louisville Herald.

estimate. The advance carried prices of futures up nearly 15 cents bushel, and the trade confidently predicted that the markets strength would be sustained by an estimated shortage in the worlds visible supply. With wheat selling on basis to yield the farmers a profit, business felt that much progress would be made in healing over a sore spot of long standing and that in- creased purchasing power in farming communities might go far to offset a decline in buying from industrial centers.

Re ductions averaging ten per cent were announced by important factors in .the trade.
 Indicate Balance
 Meanwhile the situation in the oil industry remained in delicate balance. Consumption of gasoline increased with the warmer weather, but was insuffi- clent to remove the menace of record surplus stocks, in view of the continued high output of crude oil Under these circumstances the leading producers in the Mid Continent field, in an effort to maintain present price levels sought further curtailment of production. Operation by the pipe lines was re- sorted to in an effort to remedy the situation.
 Further reduction in steel output accompanied a decline in consumption. While the tangible evidence was most ly unfavorable, there were scattered indications of improvement Steel ingot production which is now at a rate of about 45 per cent of capacity, decreased but slightly and competent observers predicted that the low point in mill production would hardly come later than the middle of July, with a rate of perhaps 40 per cent
 Liquidation Complete
 Liquidation ill the steel market, it was felt, was almost complete and the number and character of orders re- ceived by mills gave evidence that the turn might be near. Activity was ex- pected to increase in the automobile in- dustry with the introduction of new models next month.
 Financial and business quarters last week gave an increasing share of their attention to the sharp recovery in the wheat market. Wheat had sharp and consistent rise following publica- tion of the governments lower crop

BRIDGE MOVES
Considerable Progress Being
Made in Legislation at
Trenton

Two bills of Assem- blyman Thomas
L. Hanson having as their object the
erection of a bridge between this city
and Tottenville are making progress
through the legislature and tits
possible one of them will be voted
upon in the lower House tonight or
this week.
One bill, Assembly 461, authorizes
the Bridge and Tunnel Commission
to make an investigation and prepare
the plans for the bridge, this bill
carrying an appropriation of $4,000
to pay the states share of the cost
with the understanding that New
York state will pass similar bill
and make similar appropriation.
This bill was introduced on January
20 and referred to the highways
committee. 1t was reported out OF
committee by committee substitute
and read the second time on Feb
ruary 10.
The other bill, Assembly ATS, diff
fers from the above measure In that
it places the power of construction
in the Port of New York Authority
instead of the Bridge and Tunnel
Com mission. This bill was introduced
by the local assemblyman on the
same day as the other one and 1t was
referred to the committee on COM
merce and navigation. On February
1S 1t was reported out by commit
tee substitute but was not given It's
second reading.
The idea of placing the construc-
ton work in the hands of the Fort
OF New York Authority makes Bill
No, AIS the most popular as general
sentiment among the legislators Is
said to favor this procedure as 1t Will
not necessitate going before the peo-
pie of the state and having them
vote for or against a bond issue TO
defray the construction cost which
would be necessary if the Bridge and
Tunnel Commission did the work.
Assemblyman Fred w. DeVoe, of
New Brunswick, also introduced
bill authorizing the Port of New
York Authority to construct bridge
between Perth Amboy and Totem
Vile but this was never reported out
OF committee.

SPECULATION
ON MESSAGE Of
THE GOVERNOR
Will Appear Tonight at Joint
Session But Subject Is
in Doubt
INSTITUTIONS
LIKELY
Appeal for Passage of &c.
000,000 for State Institu-
tionS-BuSy Week Ahead

TRENTON, Feb. 25.-Governor
Silzer's intention to appear before a
joint session of the legislature to-
night for the purpose of discussing
some important state question pro-
duced lively speculation here today
as to the exact nature of his subject,
Mr.. Silzer, possibly for psychological
effect, was cleverly keeping the law
makers. state officials, politicians.
newspapermen and all others in and
about the halls of legislation guess
ing. He did not let any intimatson
or drop the merest hint as to what
his special message, to be delivered
in person, night<au- be about.
Speculation, however, said that it
would be an appeal for the passag
of the bill to provide the S9,000,000
for state Institutions by the direct
half mill tax. Is known that Mr..
Silzer is strong advocate of relief
for the wards of the state. Since TAX
ing office a year ago he has made a
quiet tour of all the charitable and
correction institutions and made
first hand study of their needs. He
has found that much OF the clamor
and criticism against Commissioner
Burdette G. Lewis, who is directing
the fight for the half mill tax, to
te without proper foundation and
has reached the conclusion from
study and observation that the
states wards and prisoners must be
properly housed and cared for If the
best results are to be obtained.
Speaking of the unfortunate wards,
the insane, the epileptics, the feeble
minded, recently, the chief executive
said:
sThese people have no lobby in the
state house to help them. like other
interests of varied kinds, asking at
tention from the legislature.
In his annual message the governor
discussed this problem somewhat but
promised to make it the subject of a
special message. He also made SIM
liar statements with reference to
water supplies and several other sub
iects, and has sent in messages upon
them. The institutions are about
the only topic left untouched. Hence
the feeling this will be treated upon
tonight.
This year bill has passed the
House designed to accomplish what
,ast years original bill would have
done, that is, extend the half-mile
tax program for four years and to
apply the proceeds to all state in
stitutions.
The fact that the bill is now be-
fore the Senate for consideration in
dicates that it is upon this subject
that the executive will deliver his
message tonight.
A fight is expected at tonight's
session on the William school his
tory bill. The bill was introduced
by williams, of Passaic, for Speak
er of the House Eaton, and is de-
signed to prevent what is alleged to
be British propaganda from be-
ing written into the histories used
in New Jersey public schools.
The measure has been amended so
that it leaves it with the local boards
of education to say whether his
tory teaches un-American doctrines.
The original measure put the ques-
tion up to the State Board of Edu-
cation.
