HOLDS RELIGION
AID TO MEDICINE
Dr.. Bowen Expresses Belief
in Therapeutic Value Be-
fore Conference.

positive belief in the therapeutic
value of religion in the practice of med
icine was expressed by DIR. W. Sinclair
Bowen, prominent Capital physician and
Episcopal layman in an address at the
thirteenth annual convocation of the
Howard School of Religion Thursday
afternoon.
Physicians need to take into account
the spiritual condition of their patients
in order TO render the best possible
service" DR.. Bowen stated. He further
commended that in order for physician
properly to recognize such a condition
in patient it is necessary for him to
see the development Of his own Spir-
ituality, and to this end, DR.. Bowen
said, no physician is too busy to attend
church at least once on Sunday.
He urged ministers to seek closer
alignment with physicians for the gen.
eral welfare Of the community.
DR.. Bowen precipitated a general
discussion of the physical effects OF
tobacco when he declared that go per
cent of children of women who smoke
excessively are either born dead or die
in their first year." In the discussion,
DR.. Bowen took the position that the
detr1ment to health through smoking is
a matter of the extent to which the
habit is INDUCED.
The need of church school nurseries,
where children may be cared for so that
their parents may have an opportunity
to attend church services, also was
stressed by DR.. Bowen.
In concluding the series of addresses
on Conflict or Cooperation" Prof.
Joseph B. Matthews, president of the
World Youth Peace Congress and sec
rotary of the Fellowship of Reconcilia-
ton, New York City, turned his atten-
ton to the Western Hemisphere. where
he regards the economic situation as
the basis of present conflict.
He contended that the only solution
to the problem is by way of the cross,
a disposition on the part of individuals
to stand up for principles of justice and
cooperation regardless of consequences.

CAVALIERS
FEAR DUNN,
Of CADET

UNIVERSITY, Va, Oct. IS.
There has been no rest on
Lambeth Field this week for
the Virginia football squad
that is preparing to receive
Virginia Military Institute here
on Saturday afternoon.
Coach Earl Abel started off Mon.
day afternoon with a dummy scrim.
mage which he developed into the
real thing yesterday. Today a
rough workout against q freshman
eleven drilled in Cadet plays is in
order.
To reconstruct o line that
will withstand the shocks Of
the cadet drives while develop
ing a backfield that can check
the overhead attack Is the aim
OF Coach Abell's efforts. In
games thus far the Cavalier
defensive play has been far
from satisfactory.
On Saturday Virginia will have
to hold against the big Cadet full
back, Dunn, who leads the Old
Dominion big four in scoring and
stands fourth in total points in all
the Southern Conference. If Dunn
were the only V. NJ. 1. threat this
might not be difficult. But he will
be aided and abetted by Capt. Haw.
kins, Biggs, McCray and Holtzclaw
among others.
Taylor will probably be at center
for Virginia, with DeButts and
Lankford on either side OF him, and
Whalen and Day in the tackles.
This line lacks the weight OF some
other combinations, but Coach Abell
is willing TO swap beef for some
other qualities.
