LIBERAL CLERGY
 PLAN CAMPAIGN
Seek to Strengthen Position in
 Episcopal Church,

Philadelphia, Feb. 17.-R}- The first step in the general organiza- tion of liberal clergy in any branch of the Christian church in this coun- try has been taken by the Protest ant Episcopal communion.
 Approval of a resolution providing for the creation of an organization to conduct a widespread propagan- da of liberalism in America and Eng land and which will strive to elimin- ate the Catholic party" from the church was given yesterday by the conference of liberal churchmen of the province of Washington and parts adjacent. Liberal clergymen from all parts of the country attend ed the meeting.
 Embodied in the resolution were 14 points. suggested by the Right Rev. Robert l.. Harris, bishop of Marquette, Mich, and president of ;.the national church league, outlin- ing a basis for the organization of such a campaign. Dr. Alexander G. Cummins, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. said the program was directed almost en- tirely against the Catholic party in the Episcopal church in this country and the Anglo Catholic party in the church of England.
 Under the plan the new organiza- ton will seek to have liberals elected bishops and made rectors of promi- nent and influential parishes. Liber- als are to be elected deputies to the diocesan and general convention whenever 1t is possible and they are 10 act as unit.
 Essentially, the liberals hope to establish and perpetuate a definitely American church. friendly to the other lands, but with characteristic form of worship and thought to be expressive of American ideals and living. Further the plans call for a campaign to "preserve the compre- hensive character of the Protestant Episcopal church." and to that end they propose Lambeth Quadrilat- eral of the creeds. the Scripture. the Sacraments ordained by Christ and the Apostolic ministry as the funa- mentals of faith.
 The campaign Is to be conducted in spirit of sympathy and the controversial temper is to be elimi- nated," the last point in plan says. This point was emphasized by Bishop Thomas J. Garland. of Pennsylvania. who told the clergymen that truth will win only with love-" Bishop Garland said that not all the mem- bers of the Catholic party were in favor of "Romanizing' the Protest ant Episcopal church.

CHAMPIONS TRAITS
 ASLEADER MAKERS
Scripture Calls Them Whole some if Properly Conducted

That the fraternities at the high school work at all times for the best interests of the school d not to the interest primarily of the fraternity itself, was testified to yesterday afternoon at the discussion held by the Hi-Y club at the '. M. C. A.. following the regular Wednesday noon luncheon. The discussion was prompted by the address of Arthur N Scripture who spoke on What High School Fraternities and So- cieties Have Done for the Commun- ity." Mr. Scripture stressed the training received by the boys in the various fraternity groups, comment ing on the fact that number of men prominent in civic affairs had given credit to their early training in the fraternity. In almost every instance. MT. Scripture found that the heads of manufacturing interests and those prominent in welfare work have in their earlier days been members of . school fraternity or society.
 "Clickiness," which has character ized some fraternities in the past, was depreciated by MT. Scripture, who affirmed that a society for Its own best interests should have just the opposite policy, each member realizing that the more friends he makes the more successful he will be. It is generally found that the boy who is a leader of his friends in the High school and Hi-Y group will usually be leader of men in later years, he said. The fraternity can inculcate the spirit of leadership among it's members by broader as- sociation in the complete school life. he declared.
 Some of the boys in the Hi-Y dis cussion admitted that there had been "clickiness" or organized effort on the part of some fraternities to place A member in certain position, thereby gaining prestige for that particular fraternity. but that that was more or less thing of the past. The boys stated that any project de- sired by a group must now be pre- sented to the faculty for considera toin and approval. The last football election, 1t was pointed out, showed in some measure, that the fraterni- ties work toward the best interests of the school to help place the best man in the position whether he be . member of society or not.

 Building Board Under Fire
 Although the matter of salaries for the two inspectors was not up for action other than reference to the salary committee, there were several members who registered op- position to allowing the resolution ito take that course with the figure stipulated. Councilman Frank $. Caldwell not only opposed the s3,000 figure, but wanted the increase from S1,900 to s2,100 voted last month, stricken out of the list. He argued that the raise was in consideration of the meritorious work of the then inspector, Cyril J. Curtin, and that it should not be allowed without knowledge of who is to be his sue cessor.
 Fax Questions Leavitt
 Councilman Thomas B. Fay ask ed the building commission how it arrived at the S3,000 figure for the electrical inspector. Chairman A. F Leavitt replied 1t is the boards wish to have a good man on the job and one cannot be had for less than that amount. Councilman Fay reminded the chairman of his own statement that former Inspector Curtin was a good man. Curtin received $500. Fay had reference. he said, to Lea vitt's statements before the salary committee when he asked a S200 in crease for Curtin. The chairman declared at that time: MT. Curtin is an efficient inspector and a fine man for the job"
 Several opposing votes were reg istered when the matter was refer red to the salary committee.
 A report of the electrical investi- gating committee was accepted and referred to the building commission. Councilman w. Spaulding Warner moved that the building board be asked to revoke the licenses of three who received them without eX- animation. The same councilman had a motion passed to rebate one ! half the amount paid for licenses | this year since they are usable for but six months, and he had the fee cut from s15 to SIP with provision for operating.

lay over Washington and it's envi-

be rated at par. Stations in all sec

good volume and clear signals. There
were. however, periodical crashes of
static, but they were too mild TO
interfere seriously with the programs
of the ut-of-town stations. Fading

it was evidenced more on the signals
originating in the North.
