White House yesterday when he learned
that the latter, who had called with

Rev. Hugh Stevenson, pastor of
Bethany Baptist Church of this city,
grand chaplain of the Odd Fellows
brought the police drill team, which
is on its way back to Portland from
the Odd Fellows convention at Jack

While making the Introduction Rev
Stevenson told the President about
Officer Willette being a descendant of
the second President and the first oc-
cupant of the present White House.
The President was at once interested,
and told the officer to remain behind
until he finished his reception, when
he would personally show him about
the house. The President a few min
utes later took Officer Willette and

TOURGE ON YOUTH
OBEDIENCE TO LAW
Speakers at Lords Day AIIi-
anCe Discuss Methods for
World Betterment.

More time spent in teaching chill
dren to observe the moral and
written laws of the United States
would result in less time and energy
being expended to enforce the laws,
Theodore Risley. solicitor of the De-
partment of Labor said at a meeting
of the Lords Day Alliance in st.
Stephens Church last night.
Rev. George F. Dudley, rector of
ST. Stephens Church, who presided,
in launching a drive for days rest
each week, declared that it was
proposed to endeaVor to have laws
passed which would forbid CONNER
cial amusements of all sorts on Sun
day. and in so doing would give the
employees of such establishments an
opportunity for their day of rest.
Washington, he said, should receive
first attention in this drive and the
model set up here would be one for
all other cities to pattern after.
Sunday AmuSement~. Topics.
Mr.. Risley said that there is no
objection to innocent amusements on
Sunday, but the fight will he waged
against violating the sanctity of
this day. There is too much
cheap jazz" he said. and people are
not spending enough time III the
home. The home spirit is lost, he
is incomplete on the Sabbath owing
to one or more members being COM
PEELED to labor
With one days rest in seven. he said,
1t becomes possible for the toilerS to
grasp the ideas of brotherhood and fel-
lowship as taught in the church and
Sunday school. thus removing the mis-
understandings. racial hatreds and ma
tional prejudces which are the prime
causes of war The time will come he
said, when the inventive genius of the
United States will make il possible to
labor only four days each week He
pointed out that when the Constitution
was written there were but $50 avoca-
tions, while there are now more than
2.40o, and as a result the same sort of
a Sunday Observance as in vogue then
is not always possible"
Sees Overdose OF .Jazz"
Washington is suffering from an over
dose of jazz and cheap amusements
which run for six days of the week,
Rev. Harry l.. BowIby, national secre-
tary of the Lords Day Alliance, said,
and il is hoped to at least eliminate the
possibility of its extending into Sunday
It's a question of whether Christ or
commercalism' shall H;,e the Sabbath
he declared. He cited figures to show
that Pennsylvania, with its Sunday laws,
has three times per capita greater Sun
day school attendance and double the
per capita church attendance over New
York State. New York City, he said,
has recently enacted ordinances forbid
ding the operation of theaters on Sun
day for I 0 years.

were found bones from about forty
human bodies and a large number
of objects, none of which was metal.
The objects included arrowheads,
