WARRANT ISSUED FOR GAS1ON MEANS
Illinois Judge Asks Arrest oG
 Former J. s. Agent

New York, Jan. 5-Federal Judge Lindey of Illinois today issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Gaston B. Means former department of justice agent, when he failed to appear in court with his attorney, Thomas B. Fielder, and his seCre- tary Elmer W, Jarnecke, for trial on a charge of conspiracy to ob- struct justice.
 The warrant vas issued on re- quest of Special Assistant Attorney General Todd after he had produced q telegram from Dr. Joe A. Harts- dell, of Concord, N. C., stating that Means was too ill to start for New York today, Mir Todd told the court that Means had been under surveillance of government opera tiyes since his conviction for conspir- acy to violate the prohibition law last summer and that these agents had reported to him last Friday that Means was in good health.
 No attorney appeared in court for Means, although his co-defendants, Fielder and Jarnecke, were repre- sented. The charges against the three grew out of an alleged con- spiracy to bribe department of jus tice officials to maintain g. hands off" policy regarding the sale of stock by the Crager system and the Glass Cssket company.

WILL TRY AGAIN
New Yorker Whose Hearing Was Not Restored By Nose Dive Is Not Discouraged.

Mitchell Field, N. T., Jan. 5.-- After receiving information that the hearing of Joseph King, of Brook lyn, had been improved by an air plane drop of 5000 feet last week, Major William N. Hensley. Jr, com mandant of Mitchell Field, announced that further flights would be made this week.
 Kings flight last week was per mitted despite advice from Capt. Charles A. Pfeffer. an ear specialist, who said that Kings deafness was organic and that airplane diving was useful in restoring hearing lost by shock only. The flight was con- sidered a failure until today when kling informed Major Hensley that his hearing had improved. Dr.. A. A. Fellar of Brooklyn said that Kings ears were undoubtedly in a more sensitive condition since his dive.
 Major Hensley said he had decided to resume the experiments as an effectual test of the theory, and would even grant Kings request to drop with parachute.
 Kings request for the first ex- pertinent came after he had been refeatedly refused enlistment in the army because of deafness.

ports of attendance and progress are made to the board of education, The authorities, while oonceding that the plan is still in the experimental stage, are well satisfied with It's sue Ccss. Several Of the churches are combining to form central schools under joint control, the most im- pressive fact being that five denom- nations arc cooperating in this pro lea. The Roman Catholic churches have been better prepared than the Protestant churches to take up this work and have done so eagerly. but several Protestant churches have es- tabllshed classes and more are fall- Ing into line, The Jewish people have not organized classes, but they have made no objection 10 the plan,
 William c. Hobbs, superintendent at Bristol, N l., where the plan has been in operation for four years, re- gards it as a complete success and is causing no friction. The clergy, he reports, are backing the project en- thusasticaly, and the main difficult ty is inc obtaining of competent teachers
 Statistics available from these re- ports show that only 7,00Q,oo0 out of 22,000,O0Q children in this country 1re getting any form of religious instruction, either in Sunday schools or in tho home The concensus of opinion Is that such training is necessary, the Newport statement saying, Spiritual illltcracy is the torcrunner of moral bankruptcy and decay.' The reports also agree that religious education is not rart of the work of the public schools and that, therefore. separate schools should he set up.
 The plan originally proposed for this city was that the parents be given the right 10 say whether or not their children should attend the church schools, Those whose parents are unwilling will remain in school, while the others will be dis missed early one afternoon a week to go to their respective churches, where they would receive religious instruction. Local Churchs are known to favor the plan, and the state commission of education has to the legality of the plan, saying that there is nothing in the law which would prevent New Brit ain from allowing pupils to leave school during the last period of the day provided the rule is d general one"

EXPLAINS WHY AIR
 SERVICE IS WRONG
Maj, Gen. Patrick Argues for
 United Department

Washington, Jan, 5.--Major Cen eral Patrick, chief of the army air service. was recalled today as a witt ness before the special house com mttee investigating the aircraft situ- .utlon in the United states.
 General Patrick set forth his req sons for wishing a united air serv- ice.whlch he proposed be put under the jurisdiction of the secretary of var, with the same status as the marine corps bears to the secretary of the navy.
 He advocated a separate appropri- alton budget for the service, which he said would prevent duplication and increase efficiency, economy ano charge one responsible body with de- veloplng this arm Of national de- fense.
 A unified service, Gen. Patrick said, would also solve the much dis cussed problem of coast defense.
 "The plain fact" he said, lis that there is an undeniable duplication or coastal air facilities in the United States and in its possessions,
 "The creation of an air corps" he added. primarily as an air going combat unit should remove the question whether the air service of the army or the air service of the navy should be charged with opera tions in this twilight zone which includes the later area within reach of air operations conducted from land bases.
 The air service not properly equip ped t9protect the country in ma 1or emergency" General Patrick tes- tiled. In future wars, he said, one of the first efforts of belliger' ents would be to control the air and the struggle to sweep the enemy out of the air in his opinion would rer- tainly take place soon after a decla4- ration of war.
 Under estimates of the importance of aircraft has been one of the chief handicaps of the air service, Gen eral Patrick said.

DAINTY LINGERIE CAN BE
 MADE AT A SMALL COST
BY MARIAN HALE NEA Service Writer

Christmas has passed on for anl other year--but 1t Is not time to lay down the needle.
 Cold winter evenings can be made enjoyable and profitable by sewing on the many dainty things which we all need and mus have. ath
 Dainty lingerie may be made at home as inexpensive as one desires-- or can be almost priceless, accord ing 10 the materials.
 But the expense is not what de- termines the beauty. Dainty gowns and combinations made of coIored voile trimmed merely with hem stitching or bands of other color can not be eXcelled in attractiveness. Ma terlal can be purchased for about one dollar.
 The woman with little time at her disposal need not make the entire garment. She can buy ready made tailored model Of crepe de chine or fine batiste and trim 1t herself. This cuts the expense considerably.
 Lovely Lingerie
 Some of the lovelest French lin- gerie is trimmed with an edge Of footing. and this lacy edge may be added most effectively to plain models. Then with a cluster of French flowers, saucy bow, or pos slbly a monogram, the garment be- comes distinctive and much more lovely.
 A combination outfit of apri- cot colored voile with scalloped edges bound with turquoise blue voile is very pretty. The gown may have a cunning sash of blue ribbon running through embroidered sits sat the waistline.
 Very French lingerie can be made of two layers of georgette or chiffon in different colors to give an opales- cent, changeable effect. These are bound with ribbon or given an edge of lace.

MANY PLANS FOR
 RELIGIOUS COURSE
Special Committee on School Curriculum Ready to Report

Tho proposed plan to introduce week day religious instruction as a supplement to tho regular school work will be reported to tRe meet ings of the school board ~riday by the special committee heaued by r, F. King, which has been lnNeslisat- ing the scheme as, now in force in other United States cities. SlN dlt- ferent plans have been considered and will be reported 10 the board,
 The plan in operation at Toledo, O., permits both denominattonaI and undenominationa week day church schools, the latter being under the control of the council of churches Pupils in the grades are, upon re- quest If their parents, dismissed at 2,l5 o'clock one afternoon n week 10 receive this training, while high school students arc given credit for religious educational work done out side of school hours, Teachers m these religious schools must meet the same requirements as those in the high school. while halt-time d. rector is employed to supervise the work.
 At Salina, Kansas. the religious schools are in session every Wednes' day at the various churches. The children in the grades attend at diff ferent times, while those whose par ents do not wish such instruction for their children remain in school for 3 study period. Those who attend the church sessions do not miss any recitations. Special report cards are issued which are signed by parents and returned to the church In the same manner as the school reports
 Ihe Newport, R. l., plan has teeth in it. The pupils who desire 10 take the extra curriculum course are dis missed from school an hour early once a week and go to their churches for instruction. Those who are en- rolled in the church schools but do not attend, and those who are un- rllly, are reported tn the school au- thorities and permission to attend the religious schools is withdrawn. Churches which wish 10 conduct the classes are required to present detl- mite plans, with proper teachers and materials, to the school committee
 In Little Falls, Minn,, only chill dren attending the upper four grades and the high school attend these religious classes in the churches their attendance being reported to the school authorities at weekly in tervals.
 At Gary, Ind, control is vested in a board of religious education, which is composed of four members from each cooperating church, the pastor and superintendent of the Sunday school being ex-officio members. This board raises a budget ($17,5o0 last year), maintains the schools, and employs teachers. Children in the grades arc excused two hours d week to attend these schools.
 The most lengthy report has come from Rochester, N. Y. Here chil- dren are excused once q week upon request of their parents and are al- lowed to attend schools at churches which present to the board of edu- cation full details of the course, in structors, and facilities, while re-

Rise of Sterling May
 Preface Gold Standard

London, Jan, 5.--1n connection with the steady rise of sterling ex- change, which today touched AT, the belief is growing here that a move Is afoot to restore the gold standard at some future date and that the visit to the United States of Sir Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, IS possibly connected herewith. The rise of sterling today was the result of per sistent buying from America and the continent. Gold bars, which auto- matically decline as sterling ad- vances, touched STA an ounce, the lowest figure since the war.
