Medicinal Treatments Are
Conquering Disorders
Satisfactorily.

Fears that an operation might be
necessary in order to relieve Secre-
tary Weeks from pains resulting from
gall bladder complications which have
developed during his illness were said
today to have been dissipated, at least
for the present.
The disorders are yielding satisfac-
torily to medicinal treatment, it was
said, and bladder interference has been
overcome.
Secretary Weeks rested comfortably
last night and was free from pain.
He devoted several hours today at
tending to personal correspondence.
1t is planned to remove Secretary
Weeks to his Summer home, in the
mountains of New Hampshire, as soon
as his condition and the weather will
permit He now spends his entire
time in his room, but is able to sit up
several hours each day. Before his
recent setback he had taken several
short automobile rides.

State places a penalty on teaching
a theory.
We seemed to be proud that this
country, more than any other country,
fostered freedom of though and advo-
Gated the truth. We boasted over the
fact that the church and the State
were separate. These things are i'm
pressed upon the minds of every boy
and girl in our schools. 1t is right that
such is the case. But here is a law
that, to me. seems to violate the
things that we so fervently advocate.
Strikes at Basis of Republic.
How does this law violate the princi.
pies OF our Government? We all admit
that this Government, in it's founding,
abjured all religious discrimination
and was set up solely upon the princi
pies or democracy. Every one will ad.
init that it is wrong to legislate in
favor of one Particular sect of the
Christian religion. This law gives pro-
lection to all branches of the Christian
religion.
To the ordinary person that would
seem all right. But what about all the
other religions that are represented
In this country? This may be a
Christian Nation in point of numbers
but the other religions are with us.
Their children attend the public
schools. They are American citizens
and this law discriminates against
them.
A State that gives protection to one
religion is discriminating against the
others. Teach anything you want to
that may conflict with Confucia nism
but do not disturb Genesis. The law
Is a legislation against other re.
ligions, because 1t gives protection to
one.
This brings us to the question: Does
the Christian religion need protection?

1t was the opinion of several MEM

were not being effectively enforced,
but others, notably Senator Watson of
Indiana, insisted that much progress
was being made.
Chairman Couzens was particularly
critical of what he termed the failure
of the prohibition enforcement unit
to follow up cases to completion. He
produced reports to show that cases
which should have been prosecuted
had been abandoned.
The fact that Assistant Secretary An
drews had been given complete super
vision of prohibition enforcement was
approved by members of the commit
tee, but they were unable to agree
upon the wisdom of transferring en-
forcement to the Department of JUS
tice.
New regulations in connection with
prohibition enforcement, especially
with reference to alcohol distilling,
are now in the hands of Secretary
Mellon, Mr.. Britt said, who also stated
