 Superintendent r. F. plympton Of Fremont Temple made known the ban against Ritchie in the following letter to William H. Mitchell. chair man of the Liberal Civic League;
 Upon further consideration of your application to use Tremont Temple for a public meeting in the interests Of repeating tho so-called Baby Nolstead Act l am quite con- vinced that the clientele of Fremont Temple would wholly disapprovc cf my permitting the use of our hall for such a purpose.
 '1n my opinion a proper proce- dure to change the constitution is all right, but to make it much easier for the bootlegger and the criminal element to violate the law of the land by removing any machinery for enforcement of the law is quite aa- other natter

WOULD SUBSTITUTE
 PURPOSE FOR GOD
Professor Proposes Modern Re-
 ligion, Rejects Savior

Chicago, Dec. (UP)-A religion with "a purpose instead of a God, 7 is proposed by A. Eustace Haydon, professor of comparative religion at the University of Chicago in his book. The Quest of the Ages. F which has just been published by Harpers.
 Religion is entering into the greatest transformation of history Haydon said in explaining hic views to the United Press today. Modern science has challenged faith in a personal God and present day industrialism has made old forms of life impossible.
 rho old theory was that religion is a problem of mans relationship 10 God he said. 'The new dcfini- ion is that it must be a quest for g. completely satisfying life "
 The professor declared the con- Cept Of God vas due to the belief of primitive man that he could not be happy during life and must wait for some Messiah to lead him into heaven.
 Old Belief shattered
 Now, he maintained, this belief is being swept away by now condi- uons. Man is beginning 10 realize that if intclligently managed the laws Of the universe will let him attain a wcll-rounded life in this world by his own efforts. There. fore q saviour is rot nccGed.'
 Haydon said he had no quarrei with fundamcntalists. Where cid theoloGies are still deep rooted. he would not interfere, hut rather Superimpose his vision of we'll ordered world.
 If the old religions cling to their altars they will die, while if they join in this new movement they will nourisl.' he said. "ReligioG always has been irrcpressibly opti- mistic. l believe the churches will abandon their anticipated rituals and incidental theology"

Children like the rich, fruity taste
of California Fig Syrup, and you can
give it to them as often as they need
it, because it is purely vegetable. For
over 80 years leading physicians have
recommended it, and its overwhelming
sales record of over four million bot
ties year shows it gives satisfaction.
Nothing compares with it as gentle
but certain laxative, and it goes fur
ther than this. 1t regulates the stom-
ach and bowels and gives tone and
strength to these organs so they con-
tinue to act normally, of their own
accord.
There are many limitations of Cali

Melted Granite Saves Labor

To save the tedious labor of chisel-
ing away granite foundation blocks on
which rests the county morgue at
Pittsburgh, Pa, contractors planning
to move the structure melted the gran
lite rocks, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The chiseling operation
would have required two months, but
the granite was transformed into mol
ten lava in less than one month. An
oxygen welder first was applied to the
granite, eating out small hole, after
which steel pipe attached to an oxy-
gen tank was inserted in the hole and
oxygen released into it. When the
pipe started to melt, chemical reaction
also served to melt the granite.

The association of the name of Dux-
bury with that of Standish is based
upon authenticated copies of deeds of
the Fourteenth century which show
that Ralph de Dokesbury made over
his Lancashire estates to his lawyer,
Ralph Standish, who took up the mort
cages and thereby dispossessed the
DOkesbury or Duxbury family. 1t is
significant that one of the later Pill
grim settlements, which became the
home of Myles Standish, was named
Duxbury. Within the last year the
sale of DuXbury hall near Chorley,
Lancashire, recalled the fact that in
1916 descendants of Myles Standish
in this country subscribed a large
amount of money and sent an expert
to trade the claim of their ancestor
to this estate, of which it has been
asserted, he was unjustly deprived
when he emigrated from England to
America.
In his youth Myles Standish entered
the English army and served in the
wars on the continent, thus furnishing
the authority for Longfellow's having
him tell about s'the sword of Damascus
| fought with in Flanders" and the
breastplate which once saved his life
from bullet Fired point-blank at my
heart by Spanish arcabucero" Just
how Standish came to join the Pill
grims is not known. He apparently
was serving in the Netherlands when
the Separatists went there from Eng
land, and one historian asserts
that the Merchant Adventures, who
financed the Pilgrim emigration to
America, expecting them to settle in
the region of Virginia, sent Standish
as their salaried servant to defend
them and teach them to defend them
selves. At any rate, Standish joined
the Pilgrims at Leyden and sailed with
them from Plymouth, England, in the
Mayflower on September 16, 1920.
Myles Standish was one of the sign
ers of the Mayflower Compact on No.
vember IL, 1920, for the government
of the proposed colony, but his mill
tary career did not begin until Novem-
ber q, when the Mayflower was an.
chored in Cape Cod bay, and the cap
tain with 10 men went ashore. "When
they had marched about the space Of

Date of Christ's Birth
Not Positively Known

1t Is generally assumed that we are
living in the year 1920, but the year
may really be 1888, or even later.
This fact Is indicated by record
of an eclipse Of the moon. Bible his
tory says that Christ was born during
the reign of Herod the Great. But
Herod died in the spring of B. c.,
the exact date being fixed by lunar
eclipse which took place the night be-
fore his death.
Obviously, therefore, Jesus might
have been born not later than b. c.,
and possibly earlier
The church has no definite knowl-
edge of the date of Christ's birth. II
fixed the year, month and day of the
month arbitrarily.
Astronomers are able to calculate
the dates of past eclipses as accurate
ly as those of the future, and so have
determined the very day and hour of
the eclipse that ushered Herod the
Great out of this life.-London Mail.

AL MARSTERS is
OUT OF FOOTBALL
Noted Dartmouth Quarter
back Hurt in Yale Game.

College football has lost one of its
most brilliant stars and Dartmouth
is robbed af the services of its
greatest backfield ace with the an
nouncement that AL Marsters has
played his last game of intercollegiate
football.
The announcement followed an X
ray examination of Marsters by Dc.
John Gile in which it was disclosed
that the quarterback was suffering
from fracture of the vertehrae when
he hohbled from the. bowl during the
Yale game. He will be in the infirm-
ary for the next month while his team
mates battle Brown, Cornell and the
Navy. The injury was officially de-
scribed as fracture of the right
transverse process at the third and
fourth lumbar vertebrae,~ but is not
expected to have any permanent
effect.
Messages of regret from all points
of the country were pouring in Cd
Marsters.
