AMERICAN RUGBY TEAM

Paris, April 29.-Members of the American Olympic rugby football ] team, refreshed after a good nights sleep, soon forgot today all the trou- bes and Nicisstudes of yesterdays journey from London to Paris when, neglecting to have their passports vised, they became involved in a mass of official red tape from which it took half day to extricate them.
 Finding the Colombes Olympic sta dium unavailable for practice this morning, they crossed to the Auteuil racetrack and began kicking the foot ball around, putting the track to use as football field for the first time.
 They were welcomed later at Olym- pic headquarters. Colby Slater, cap tain of the team and Charles Austin acting manager, both agreed with the French choice of Admiral Percy Royds of the British navy, vice-presi- dent of the international rugby union, as referee of the France United States match May IS.
 The Americans seemed In the pink of form and their husky appearance made a fine impression in French Olympic circles where they are re- garded as having an even chance of winning the championship.

PINCHOT ARGUING
 AGAINST LEASING
Says FOrd'S Plan for Shoals Would "Hamstrins" South

Washington, April %. - Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania told the sen- ate agricultural committee today that Henry Ford's bid for muscle shoals If accepted would, "hamstring' the south.
 Declaring the shoals were the key to the power situation in the south iast and the second greatest power project in the United States. the gov ernor said the Ford bid did not guar sTltee anything except to build up a great industrial center.
 "In my opinion," he said. muscle shoals should be handled not from a power standpoint but from a social viewpoint. It seems to be the ques- tion is not so much the individual bid but the procedure to be followed. We should know exactly what we want to accomplish.
 T see no reason in the world why so careless a form of contract should be accepted as the Ford bid. There is no penalty for forfeiture and no guarantee of any sort"
 ''As a power proposition the Ford offer Is absolutely contrary to the Roosevelt policy as set forth in the water power act" Governor Pinchot said. adding that it provided no check on the price consumers would pay for power.
 The governor said he saw no reason for waste in the matter, the dams having not been completed, and dis agreed with Senator Heflin of Ala bama that the project had been left for junk.
 '@rhe Ford offer does not do justice fertilizer" he said. and the nitrate part of the bid is window dressing.
 T think this proposition should be gone into seriously with the depart ment of agriculture to decided on certilizer policy and then distribute the remaining power over the south.
 "Distribution of power should be made over the widest practical area at the lowest practical price to the consumer"
 Coolidge's Denial
 IAcStdtlu6 illS lO congress in his message December 6, President Coolidge has fatly denied the assertion that he was trying" to deliver Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford, contained in telegram placed in the record of the senate agriculture committees hearing on the Ford and other bids for the properties.
 The telegram, dated October 12, 1923. and addressed to William J. Cameron or Ernest Liebold, care Dearborn Independent, Dearborn, Michigan" by James Martin Miller, former Washington newspaper cor respondent, was read yesterday by Chairman Morris after he had asked Secretary Weeks about call made by MT. Ford at the White House De- cember 3. which was followed by his endorsement of Mir. Coolidge.

BAPTIST CHURCH PASTOR
 WINS THE FOURTH DEBATE
Rev. John Poach Straton Wins De- cision on Questions of Whether
 Jesus Was Man or Deity

New York, April 2s.--In the fourth of their series of debates on religious fundamentalism and modernism, the Rev. Dr. John Roach straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, won a unanimous decision over the Rev. Dr. Charles Francis Potter, pastor of the West Side Unitarian church last night.
 The question was Resolved: that Jesus Christ was entirely man instead of lncarnate deity" pr Straton sup ported the negative.
 Dr. Potter contended that to &C., cept the doctrine of the deity of Christ "one must leave his reason be- hind and accept 1t as an act of fai,,>, :" Such acceptance was possible. he de- clared, only by abandonment of req son which. he said, was 'an abandon ment of the legacy of the race and "of the thing which ditferentiates man from beasts" He insisted that a de- bate was reasonable discussion in which reason alone should be used as the criterion of judgment.
 Dr. Straton, while agreeing that faith was necessary said:
 We do not have to reason Christ out. The Goldman is miracle and a miracle is not bound or answerable to human laws and rules"
 Each pastor has won two debates. There will be one more.

 The committee today turned to conversation phases Of the ptoblem, having invited Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, for many years a champion of governmental conserva- ton of natural resources, to present his views.

Weight Lost Every
Minute by Evaporation

(From Popular Science Monthly
Five minutes from now, unless you
eat or drink in the meantime, you will
weigh less than you do now In fact,
you will weigh less minute from
now, because the body is constantly
losing weight by evaporation and by
loss of carbon in breathing.
Powerful, but exceedingly delicate
scales, devised recently by the Carne-
gle institution, are now being used to
measure the sum of these losses, and
numerous interesting facts have been
revealed by the scales. The more
clothing a person wears, the more
rapidly he loses weight, because of in
creased perspiration. A football play
er was shown to lose IA pounds in a
game lasting 20 minutes. A marathon
runner lost 81 pounds in three-hour
race.
Ordinary men, performing no exer-
ton, but merely sitting in chair sus-
pended from the scales, have lost

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE

PLATTEVILLE-H Helms and
Henry Mueller had a thrilling exper-
fence Monday that they neither care to
take again or will forget soon. They
had driven across Little Platte in the
afternoon and had gone to the hill for
short time. Upon returning to cross
the river they found the water had
risen considerably. Once in the water
the box of the wagon was lifted and
began to float down stream.
The horses broke loose and plunged
to the opposite shore where they stood
by gate. The men both being sup
piled with scoop shovels used them as
oars and managed to two their unus-
ual boat to the bank where the water
was overfowing onto the main land.
They made safe landing but not until
the box had foated quarter of a mile
down stream.
The men then returned to where the
horses stood waiting and drove them
down to the wagon box and loaded it
on the running gear. Except for a
good soaking they were none the
worse for their OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
