THE CHURCH PROBLEM
One Way To Settle It, Speaker Says, Is To Put Trained Man With Big Heart in Charge

Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 15.--The way to settle the over churched problem in a community Is to put a man with a trained head and a big heart in one of the churches and then withdraw home missionary aid from the other. Dr. L. O. Baird, superintendent of the Congregational board of home missions for Wash ington and Alaska said today'in ad- dressing the annual home mission council and council of women for home missions at Haddon Hall.
 He suggested that the theological scminaries be urged to pick out their best students and urge them to give three or four years to soly- ing home missionary problems.
 Thirty men dedicated to give three years to God and country in the hardest field the board could of fer" he said, would renew the. faith of the churches, open the pocketbooks of the people and above all, make the desert places rejoice"
 If the self-supporting churches could see d procession of college trained men pass by their open doors to accept calls paying fifty per cent less salary than they of- fer. it would do such churches good and home missionary fields would become self-supporting."

 BEATING OF YOUTH
YonkerS Man Admits Whipping
 Daughters Suit0r

New York, Jan. William s. MaoCIynot, the Yonkcrs req estate man accused of torturilig William Holland, q 22-year-old clerk, to force him to stop paying attentions to MacCIymot's daughter. Marion, told the grand jury which indicted him for second degree assault that he had done only what any other red-blooded man would do." accord ing to reports in White Plains %es- terday.
 According to MacClymot, Holland persisted in forcing himself on Miss MacClymot, even after she had told him she was engaged to marry Ran dolph M. Steele, a Newark bond salesman, to whom she was married last September, MacClymot also said his daughter told him Holland had threatened to write 6 disparaglng letter to her father about her un- less she consented 10 go automobil- ing with him. When he heard this MacClymot said, he sent for Hol- land and made him apologize.
 A Man to Man Case.
 R. F. Prime of Yonkers, attorney fomF MacClymot and Stelle, who were jointly indicted on the charge of beating, kicking and torturing Hol- land with steel police "nippers" in MacClymot's office on June 25 last, predicted that any jury would ac- quit his clients when they heard their story.
 This case is & man-to-man mat ter" he said. My clients have done what any red-blooded men would have done if they were confronted with cave-man stuff-act in self-de- fense. We don't desire that the case be tried In the newspapers"
 It was reported that MacClymot and Stelle would enter the defense that Holland attacked them and that they had had 10 subdue him. Mac Clymot, 1t was learned, willingly pro- duced before the grand jury the "nippers" with which Holland said his arm had been twisted for 30 minutes.
 Holland told the grand jury, it was reported, that as soon as he entered MacClymot's office, MacClymot pulled down the window shades, called In Stelle. applied an unpleas- ant epithet to him and then the pair set upon him. A photograph of the injuries to his arm was submitted to the grand jury.

 Motion picture officials. she said, came crawling on their knees to me to permit the showing of an ob- scene film" and money offers were made in efforts to obtain approval of pictures that were "highly im- moral"
 At one time, she declared, a deadly acid" was placed in her of- fee which inflicted scars on mo that I will carry to my grave"
 Mrs. Snow's speech was in reply to one delivered by Mrs. Robins Gilman, assistant secretary of the Womcn's Cooperative Alliance of Minneapolis, in which she charged censorship does not accomplish the desired object.

TESTS AT SEA IN
 ECLIPSE PERIOD
Special Radio Will Be Used in
 Experiment

Boston, Jan. 15.-One of the most unusual experiments ever con- ducted since the perfection of the radio as means of communication will be tried by Station WHAT, the portable transmitting station owned by the Edison Illuminating company of Boston during the eclipse of the sun on January 24.
 The transmitting station, housed in motor truck will be carried out to sea aboard the United States coast guard cutter Tampa on Janu- ary 23 so that it may broadcast mes- sages before, during and after the total eclipse. It. is hoped that the test, arranged in cooperation with the Scientific American, the Amateur Radio Relay league and the United States Bureau of Standards, may lead to a satisfactory explanation of the cause of fading"
 Dr. Greenleaf Pickard, expert on radio transmission and reception, win attempt to pick up at point on shore messages of the station which will be anchored about 100 miles out at sea.
 pr. Pickard said yesterday: "The importance of this work can hardly be overestimated as it constitutes a direct attack upon one of the major outstanding problems of radio com- munication-the eft of the atmo- sphere on transmission.
 Tt is not an overstatement to say that with proper facilities and ob- servations we may learn more in the brief forenoon of January "A of the phenomena than we have discovered in the past quarter century of radio communication"
