Discussion by the scientists re-

University of Michigan.
The relics were unearthed at
Wyman and Edmore in 1890 and
consisted of clay cups covered with
hieroglyphics. A syndicate was
formed to excavate and sell the
relics which were branded as frau
dulent after cursory examination
by two University of Michigan pro-

CHRISTMAS ZEST

HHRISTMAS zest warns
~ the heart and makes the
heart glow. Do not let any
outside cynicism rob you OF
this glow.
Do not curl your lip and
say you know the elevator
man or the grocer's boy or
the many others to whom yoI
give little Christmas joy
is just looking for the pres
ent and is being polite for
that reason.
Enjoy their pleasure in re
ceiving. Enjoy, yourself, in
giving. And doesn't every
one enjoy presents? When
you say:
Hes looking for Christ
mas present." you lose half
your own joy.
When you say:
"What an opportunity to
add a little present to an
other persons Christmas"
you have your own full meas
ure of joy.
Christmas zest must not
ne bereft of any of its spirit.
Mary Graham Bonner.

NEW YORK, May lS.-Dr. Harry
Emerson Fosdick, storm center Of
the Fundamentalist- Modernist con-
troversy, has been called to the pull
pit of the Park Avenue Baptist
church. known as the "Rockefeller

would separate the church from
the rest of the Baptist communion

not accept the call. DR.. Fosdick s
provisions are:
|. That the church does not insist
upon that principle of Baptist faith
which requires baptism by INNER
sion.
.. That the church open its mem
bership to all Christians.
3. That the church build Il "sky
scraper edifice' with living quar-
tiers, club rooms and other institu-
tional features.
Another provision is that his sal
ary as pastor shall not exceed $4,000

been chosen to direct the work of
raising funds to conduct the fight
against the proposed 10 per cent

fore the county supervisors this
morning and asked them to author
ize the contribution Of share of
the expense from the county treas
ury.
After hearing the statements of
the delegation, the supervisors de-
ferred action on the matter until

indications that they favored max
ing such Il contribution if it were
possible.
Imperial county's quota Of the
$4,000 fund which it is desired to
raise, is 5000 and 20 per cent of any

A Great Victory
Winning the baseball champion
ship was a splendid piece of work,
as the local squad had to come from
behind to do ii. Two weeks ago
they were one game behind CaleX-
leo. which held the lead throughout
the season. \ week ago the Cen
trail squad proved its gameness by
going TO Calexico with two regulars
out of the lineup and beat the
league leaders on their home
grounds, tioing the standing of the
teams. Saturdays game proved
them to be real champions and none
who saw it could doubt that Central
is the better team.
Central s extra men, Crandall and
Starr, must also be given credit for
relief work performed throughout
the season. Finally, 4 word must
be said for Goble Hurst, captain of
the team, and its leading pitcher up
to the time when Baker blazed
forth. Realizing that Baker could
perhaps do the team more good than
he could Hurst sat ON the bench and
never once whincd that he should
be given preference in the box,
Gohle Hurst is mighty go@l ball
