To Train $500 Men
In New England

Boston. Feb. 6-Maior General
Preston Brown, commanding the
First Corps Area, has just received
authority from the War Department
to train $500 young men at the Citi-
zen's Military Training Camps in
New England this year. Last year
the quota allotted to New England
was 5000. A 500 increase for this
year will give a great many young
men who were unable to secure a
place at camp last year an oppor-
tunity to receive the benefits of these
camps which the Government offers
free of all cost. These camps are an
outgrowth OF the famous "Platts-
burg idea" and are devoted not only
to military training but to building
of American character in the citi-
zens of tomorrow. Good citizenship
is the foreword of these camps and
their product is a fine young Ameri-
can with a trained mind. body and
character that fits him to give a good
account of himself in his business
or professional career and in uphold
ing the ideals and purposes of his
Government. There will be five
camps in New England. Camp Devens
Mass, Fort Mckinley, Portland
Maine. Fort Ethan Allen. Burlington.
Vermont, Fort Terry near New Lon
don Conn. and Fort Adams at New
port, Rhode Island. These camps
offer to the young men of New Eng
land a fine opportunity to partici-
pate in all types of athletics and to
meet and make friends with young
men from nearby counties and states.
Those young men who desire to at
tend one of these camps should apply

of what is described as "the earliest
representation of Noahs Ark" is con-
tanned in a report by the British Mu-

The report is from Leonard Wool

I'VE traced the inner face of the

Faces Charge
OF DENYING of God

Boston, Feb. Under an old Blue
law. enacted in 1897 and not enforced
by Massachusetts courts for more than
a century. Anthony Bimba, alleged
Communist, of 46 Ten Eyck street,
Brooklyn, must appear Wednesday be-
fore Brockton district court to answer
to- a charge of blasphemy.
Bimba, according to the complaint,
asserted his disbelief In personal
God at a Brockton meeting January
20. The Blue law Furnishes this by q
fine of not more than 500. or imprison-
ment up to year. At the time 1t was
passed the statute must have appeared
as exceedingly humane legislation, al
most a "coddling of criminals" for 1t
superseded an act of 1916 which made
death the sole penalty for the offense.

Emblem Charm
AGAINST HOlduD

New York, Feb. 6-The wearing OF
a silver button, emblem of the Mar
shall Stillman movement, virtually
guaranteeing immunity to the wear
ers from attack by hold-up men was
proposed and adopted at a citizens
crime conference this afternoon at
the Hotel Biltmore.
Alpheus Geer, founder Of the
movement, the purpose Of which is to
salvage the anti-social ones" de-
clared that this emblem would gain
the immediate sympathy of many OF
the bandits who proved on society,
and 90 far in combating crime. q
1t was his hope to have at least
100000 of the protective buttons
worn. The buttons bear a legend in
dicating their sympathies with men
of the underworld.
The idea was Endorsed by City
Judge Gustave Hartman and by 9TH
er prominent speakers, and by mem
bers of the underworld present, in

Cardinal Silent
|On VOlStead Act

New York, Feb. 6-(AP)-Cardina
Hayes returned today on the steam
ship Conte Rosso, after his Holy year
visit to the Vatican.
Told of the difference of opinion
that has arisen in the Protestant
Episcopal church concerning prohi-
bition. he said:
1.-THE Catholic church stands al
ways for temperance. That is a
fundamental virtue. There are the
virtues of justice, fortitude and pru-
dence. Temperance fits in with
these three. If an individual cannot
be temperate, but abuses liquor. he
is bound by conscience to abstain
entirely. You have to avoid ex-
tremes."
The cardinal would not state his
views on whether the Volstead act
should be amended. He added, how
ever: when the Master Himself
used wine at the last supper in in
stituting the holy sacrifice Of the
mass, which was q testimonial OF
His eternal love for mankind. it is
very difficult to avoid the evident
conclusion that He might have used
anything else, but He took wine.

declared to be delightful by the entire

Governor Brewster did not receive
all of the attention on the beach today
