Policeman and
Prayers End Row
In New York Church

New York, Dec. 10.-(AP)-Po-
lice AMI prayer are both valuable
aids in ending rows in the opinion
of members of the Washington Ave-
nue. Baptist church of Brooklyn.
Communicates of the church met
last night to discuss efforts of one
faction to GUST the pastor, the Rev.
Robert H. McCaul. over church A.
nances and the meeting became so
heated that a policeman responded
AS the contending groups milled
about the chairman's platform, Mr.
McCaul cried You're in rebellion"
while the shouts of friends and op-
ponents of the pastor added to the
din. Lets have peace" suggested
Patrolman Max Levy, but the con-
troversy became more boisterous and
the officer at length shouted:
You're IN church, you people.
Don't YOU know enough to respect
your church building? If you want
to fight, why don't you go outside 2"
Everybody, including Mr. McCaul
applauded these sentiments, and in
the ensuing silence when no one re-
sponded to the policeman's query,
the pastor begged the disputants to
pray for guidance. After the prayer
it was agreed to adjourn the meet
ing for month.
The controversy was based on
what happened to funds secured in
the past two years. through a $685.
600 mortgage on the church proper

Both Leagues
Will End Season
| On September 10Th

New York, Dec. 10.-(AP) - Dis
agreement of the American and Ma
tional Leagues over abbreviation Of
the playing season was settled
quickly and decisively this afternoon
by the single ballot of High Com
missioner X. M. Lands for the clos
ing of both races on SEPTEMBER 26.
With that stroke organized base
balls dominant figure thus broke a
tie in which magnates of the Nation
al League voted solidly against the
new date
Commissioner Lands was a con-
spicously drenched spectator at the
post-season world series between the
Senators and the Pirates but he
shook off shower after shower 18th
tho ultimatum that baseball would
be played in baseball weather in the
future, provided he would make ii
so.
Action on the closing date was the
outstanding feature of what was
characterized by the magnates them
selves as a brief and peaceful meet
ing. Possibility of an outbreak of
war with the minors over proposed
extension of the present optional
player limit from eight to fifteen was
averted by failure Of the magnates
to act on the question discussion of
playing problems, including the use
of resin by pitchers.
Eligible players of the Chicago
| White Sox of 1920 were voted a sum
| of $4.800.33, representing second place
money which was withheld from sew

Mary Garden Back
And Enthusiastic
Over the Riviera

New York, Dec. 10.-(AP)- Mary
Garden is back, still singing the
praises of the sunshine of the Rivi ..
era in which she basks each summer.
1t gives her strength and health to
go on with her musical work she
says.
Miss Garden arrived yesterday on
the Homeric for the season of the
Chicago Opera Company, admitting
she still enjoys her sun baths, whis-
pered as being in the altogether,
which first astonished the humble
fishermen who live in the neighbor-
hood of her Monte Carlo villa.
1T is true" she was asked, that
you row yourself out into the bay
and go through these rites alone"
She laughed.
Can you imagine me letting any
one help me? OF course. do it
alone. I do everything in this life
alone. Where would / be II /
didn't?"
Despite the brisk days that sug-
gest woolens," Miss ! Garden said
singers always wear thin clothing
and heavy furs."
II never change my lingerie the
year around" she admitted. At
mean-the weight: but 1 often
change the weight Of my furs."
The diva came with trunks filled
with costumes, many Of them for
her appearance in a new opera,
Resurrection" from Tolstoi's story.
Many of her dresses were fash
toned by former subjects of the
Car. In fact, most of the trunks
contained things Russia. There
are a dress by a princess. two
gowns by a duchess and a robe by
a prince. Even the uppers of her
boots, the bottoms of which We're
cut off because they would not fit,
once belonge to a general in the
Cars army.
In her hands Miss Garden carried
an icon that once belonged to an
empress. Eft least, she confessed, so
said the dealer who sold it to her.
Her latest thrill is the radio. Both
broadcasting and listening delight
her. II have a perfect radio voice"
she said, adding she hoped to broad
cast again. having done so twice so
far. She has radio set in her
Monte Carlo villa and in her Chica-
go apartment and expects to have
one wherever she goes.

Elephant Gold
Filled TuSk Found

Seattle, Dec. 9.-(AP)-An anthem
tic fossil tusk Of the woolly elephant
of the glacial or postglacial period
with gold filings like a modern tooth,
has been presented to the museum of
the University of Washington by Ed
ward Squires, who discovered 1t on a
mining claim on Dominion Creek, 40
miles from Dawson, Yukon Territory.
The tusk is 10 feet long and weighs
ESQ pounds. Fhe theory of Nathan
Kresge. museum caretaker and former
Alaskan. is that the relic was there
when tons of earth with paystreak
settled down, so that gold nuggets
were forced into the cracks of the
tusk giving the effect of modern gold
tooth filings.

AS the State departments send out
an average of $500 letters and

time and energy will be saved by
having this work taken care of by

PEWTER LEADS n. Y.
TO THE ANTIQUE
FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS

New York. Dec. 10.-(AP)-"There
is nothing new under the sum-" say
the antiques in the windows of Fifth
avenue shops elbowing to one side the
Christmas novelties. The sturdy ole
pewters offer their honest weight
ahead of the thistledown charm OF
blown glass. Old ship models cry
Anchor away to decorative fruit and
flower pieces. And edging the So
phisticated pearl and crystal strings
off the green velvet mat. the ingenious
heavy-set jewelry that mothers moth
er wore sells itself to modern gallants
for six times the price that grand
father signed over as he paid.
Such is the report Of one who did
the stores of the famous thoroughfare
for the Associated Press today, admit
ting, however. that there was no
dearth of novelties with their irresist-
ible appeal to a large proportion of the
hundreds of thousands who took adj
vantage of the first real bright and
snappy day of the winter season to
begin their Christmas shopping.
But. broadly and professionally
speaking. this is the year of the an
tique gift. 1t is said by those who
claim to know. And the something
new" for which many Christmas shop
pers cry must be something old" The
rise of the interior decorator and the
effort toward self-expression in the
home is said by the experts to account
largely for the growing taste for beau
tiful things of other ages
"Pewters, pewters, everything is
pewters for Christmas" said Fifth
avenue statesmen, staggering under the
successive loads of urn-shaped lamps,
~ cd
Of mugs and wassail bowls, of mortar
and pestle sets stained by the formu-
lac of forgotten chemists.
Ships models-we can't get enough
Of them" said one. THE Plymouth
centennial five years ago started peo-
pie on the craze. And 1t has just
about reached its height this Christ
mas season. The models have come
down into the. range of more buyers
prices"
So Spanish Santa Maria" and her
high, square stern, or III. NJ. s. Dol
phin" mounting 80 bronze cannon. or
the bonny China clipper Tea Queen"
may sail full-rigged from her galley
ways to make by Christmas the snug
harbor Of den's chimney piece. Dood
knockers. book end and lamp shields
follow the trend, carrying images of
frigates or barquentines in painted or
carved on their surface.
Christmas decorations more impor-
tant than those that hang on the tree
are the heavy, cold-linked necklaces
and bangles. The cameo earrings and
the brooches. the black onyx bars,
twining green enamel vines and droop-
ing pearl grapes that mirror the an
tiquis fashion in jewelry. Dark. rich
colorings Of neglected birthstones re-
turn in chased or wroght silver set
tings--crimson garnet, green Divine,
milky moonstone, cat's-eye, agate,
aquamarine.
There never were such fascinating
Christmas windows" cry Fifth avenue
shoppers. and the antiques laugh in
the keys Of their distant first Christ
masses.

Service Co., 103rd
Inf, Is Well Drilled

Adjutant General James w. Han
son and Major Wallace C. Philoon,
senior infantry Instructor for the
Maine National Guard, visited the
Regimental Headquarters and the
Service Company of the 1O3rd In
fantry at Portland on Wednesday
evening. at the armory in that city.
General Hanson asserted that the
Service Company gave an excellent
close order drill He pointed out that
while the service company is not ex-
pected to be so well drilled in some
particulars as the rife companies on
account Of the fact that they have a
different line of work, the drill of the
103rd Infantry service company
would compare favorably with that
of any of the rifle companies of the
regiment.
