-~cranking a car. Some cars have self-starters, and they are
power to turn the engine over. 1 need not explain fully to
you what a elf-starting automobile is, for there are SO many
autos in our city you already know about them. But for fear
you do not know just let me say that a self-starting auto is
one in which you press your foot on a lever and the engine
starts.
If there is no self starter on your machine someone must
get out in front of the car and turn a crank until the engine
begins to work. Once 1 helped a friend of mine crank his
car, and before I took hold of the handle of the crank he cried
out "Look out or you'll get kicked" The engine was cool
and [ spent much time in turning $50 much time that my hands
were blistered and my back ached, and my breath came in
gasps.

start themselves, others have to be started. Have your par

 IN 4TH DEBATE
Fundamentalist Given Unani- nous DecisiOn-Score Now Even

NEW YORK, April 29-In the fourth of their series of debates on re- ligious flindamentaIism and modern ism, the Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, won a unanimous decision oyer the Rev. Dr. Charles Francis Potter, pastor of the Westside Unitarian church, last night.
 The question was Resolved, That Jesus Christ was entirely man instead of incarnate deity" Dr. Stranton sup ported the negative.
 Dr, Potter contended that to accept the doctrine of the deity of Christ ''one must leave his reason behind and ac- cept it as an act of faith.n Such ac- ceptance was possible. he declared, only by abandonment of reason which, he said, was "an abandonment of the legacy of the race" and "of the thing which differentiates man from. beasts. !"
 Dr. Straton, while agreeing that faith was necessary, said:
 We do not have to reason Christ out. We can not reason Christ out. The Goldman is a miracle and a mira cle is not bound or answerable to hu- man laws and rules.
 Each pastor has won two debates. There will be one mOfe
