THE weakest point about the

THE weakest point about the
l. scheme Of the proposed
American Association for the
Advancement of Atheism" is
that 1t pretends to represent the
attitude of science toward -relig-
ion. The name chosen. a duplica-
ton of that of the American AS
socfatiOn for the Advancement of
Science, reveals the thought and
purpose behind.
1t Is plainly, and even avow-
eddy, intended to propagate the
false notion that science Is OPP
posed to religion and that by it's
advance 1t Is undermining and up
setting the bases Of religion.
This is an organized attempt to
persuade the public mind that
profound antagonism DIVIDES
modern science and religion.
On that point who shall we be-
leve-the atheists or the scient-
lists? Let,us see. There is no one

JUST TWENTY
YEARS AGO
BY William Moore

Old-timers who frequented the
District court will recall the
mysterious woman in Black
who attended every sensational
criminal trial. Dressed from head
to foot in deepest mourning, the
woman eagerly drank in all the
horrible details as related on the
witness stand.
King Alfonso Strengthened his
necktie, flecked a speck OF dusk
from his highlypolished boots,
and set forth on his quest FOR
the Golden Princess" In other
words, Alfonso was IN the market
for a princess whom he con.
sidered worthy of the honor or
becoming queen OF his kingdom.
The newspapers were worrying
over the fact that Washington
was rapidly changing from
City of Homes to City of
Tenements.
Mrs. Linda Ross Wade told
Washington men with aldermanic
paunches to reform their shape
and the women would love them.
Wear cOrsets" she advised,

On the list submitted TO the board
are % persons, many of them from

How many appeals there have been
from the action Of the Trea Sury in
recommending dismissal, or "separ-

SO far the appeals are before the
board only in writing Whether any

gone over, according to Chairman
Guy +. Allen of the board.
No provision has been made by any
general regulations of the board, he
said, for personal appearances on ap-

regulations, however, providing that
persons who appeal to the board from
