Experienced youth is typified by
Harry Hartz, Americas driving
champion, whose craving for the
thrill of running wild has been tenn

One Hundred
Thousand
Greet Lindbergh

CROYDON, Eng. May S0,-One
hundred thousand persons swarm
ed over the flying field here yes
terday in a wild acclaim in honor
of Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh
when he arrived here from Brus-
sells.
Capt. Lindbergh said he was
terribly homesick. The Knight of
of the Air appreciates to the full
est extent the honOrs bestowed
upon. him here, in Brussels and
Paris but is eager to return home
at the earliest possible moment.
He will have chat with King
Edward tomorrow and the Prince
of Wales on Wednesday. He will
be guest of Lord Lonsdale. the
famous sportsman at Derby this
week, always known as Derby
week but this week it will be
Lindbergh week.
The arrival of Capt. Lindbergh
brought to fever heat the admira-
ton already bestowed on him.
His doings here are destined to
share with the turf classic. New
before in English history has
such large and enthusiastic
crowd assembled to greet an in
dividual as at Croydon Field
when Lindbergh completed his
two and one half hour trip from
the Belgian capital.

London School Girls
Uniforms Not Changed

LONDON, May 5o.--School girls
attending most of the higher grade
schools have successfully revolted
against the sombre 'uniform" of
dark blue or green which they have
had to wear for years despite the
general trend of fashion towards
prettier dresses for girls when not
in school.
At one big London school repeat
ed suggestions for alteration in
dress resulted in a round table con-
ference at which the head mistress,
the staff and delegates from each
class attended. 1t was decided after
good -humored arguments that the
new summer uniforms should con-
sist of washing frocks in blue, rose,
mauve and green With detachable
collar and stuffs of plain white
washing material.
Now that most girls are bobbed
or shingled the old fashioned hard
straw hat with wide brim is found
to be unsuitable, and the summer
chapeau will be of light straw with
shaped brim which becomes mar
row at the back.

SERvANCE
THR REATENED
Church People Are Rebuked
<for Listlessness-Must
Awaken to Peril.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.-Loss
of the American Christian Sabbath
is seriously threatened, declares the
annual report of the Presbyterian
Board of Christian Education pre-
sented to the General Assembly this
morning.
Church people, rebuked for their
listlessness, are challenged to awaken
to the peril and combat the move
ment to commercialize Sunday into
Amusement Day" The board reports
that its representatives have appear
ed during the past year before legis-
lative committees where the Sabbath
question was pending. Special atten-
tion was given to the bill before
congress to secure Sabbath law
for the District of Columbia.
Communications were sent to Pres
byterian pastors and co-workers in
states where legislation regarding the
Sabbath Day was pending urging
upon them the importance of making
their wishes regarding these bills
known to the Legislators or congress
men
"As a result says the board
much legislation that would have
been passed in favor of commercial
iZed amusement was effectively and
completely killed. While the bill be-
fore congress to secure a Sunday
law for the District of Columbia did
not pass, the sub-iudiciary of the
committee on the District OF Columbia
which conducted hearings on the
bill reported II for favorable conside-
ration by vote of 4 to /.
THE legislative work of the boards
bureau is important for maintaining
and strengthening the legal safe
guards of the Sabbath: also the legis
lative issues are the vehicle whereby
the educational work in behalf of
the Sabbath Day can be rarried for

Christian americans Should
Enforce Prohibition: Report
Made Presbyterian assembly

SAN FRANCISCO. May 30.-Prohi.
bition enforcement as a duty of all
Christian Americans is emphasized
in the annual report of the Presby-
terian Board of Christian Education
to be presented to the Presbyterian
General Assembly here today.
The board laments the death of
DR.. Charles Scanlon of Pittsburgh,
'for rs years its temperance crusad-
or" but declares that the church
at large must show its appreciation
of his life work by confirming his
campaign and being faithful to his
ideals" DIR. J. w. Claudy of Pitts
burgh is announced as acting direc-
tor in DIR. Scanlon's place.
During the last year" says the
board in its report. vast strides have
been made in the enforcement of the
Amendment In spite of
renewed activities of the enemies of
1t is more firmly in
trenched today than ever before.
There can be no doubt that the
economic, social, moral, and religious
benefits that have resulted from
prohibition are SO gigantic that they
will never be overcome by wet pro
paganda.
Courts Vigorous
'If prohibition has been charged
with failure 1t Is due largely to the
fact that prohibition as written has
never been tried. The courts are
showing constantly a more vigorous
enforcement of the law District at
torneys are on every hand recognizing
their responsibility. The liquor traffic
has gone and as a commercialized
vice has disappeared permanently. If
II exists here and there, 1t is due
to the laxity of those charged with
the responsibility of law enforcement
The liquor traffic is more indefensible
today than ever. II is more hope
lessly outlawed With the rising tide
of intelligent youth there is no doubt
that the safety of prohibition is as
sured"
The board recommends:
Enforcing the Eighteenth Amend
ment through competent and trust
worthy servants of the law.
Supporting those intrusted with
the enforcement of the act by Chris.
tian citizens.
Making punishment swift. sure,
and certain.
"Divorcing the. enforcement of the
Prohibition Act from politics.
Unless these ideals" says the re-
port, "are supported by the Christian
citizens Of the community, the en-
forcement will always be lax The
task of tomorrow is to make law and
law enforcement in America a fact"
