 Liquor HOOVER ADDRESS QUOTED Loyalty Commission Suggested -otisf Plans N,de

St. Paul, Minn, May :7-A crisis with respect to enforcement of state and national laws in the United States is indicated in the message delivered today to the Hist general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America by one of its principal committees.
 To assist in bringing about pro per respect for law. the adnainis. trative committee of the church general council recommended an elaborate plan of action. including creation of a special commission. but specifically stated its intention was to maintain distinct separation of the functions of church. and state and to make its influence felt morally rather than legislatively. While. the church ought at all times 10 give the government its moral support, that duty instantly becomes more peremptory and ex- acting in . time of crisis" the assembly was told by the committee. which then referred to the address of President Hoover at the associ- ated Press luncheon at New York in April saying:
 When the president of the United States can say, in . carefully pre- pared public address that in his opinion. what we are suffering from is no passing crime wave but that 1t seems to him more like . sub sidence of the very moral founda- tions upon which our republic rests, there should be no doubt in the mind of any one that the nation fs facing a crisis as grave as any in cur history. The American people has seldom. if ever. received . more weighty and solemn call to rouse itself and fight for it's life than in this address of our chief executive. It is like fate knocking at the door.
 With this warning blast of the trumpet ringing in our ears. shall our church not prepare herself for battle? Shall we go on with our routine as if nothing unusual were happening? We cannot We must give all help in our power.
 Its recommendations for action provide for:
 Creation of a national loyalty com mission of from 10 to c5 members headed by the moderator, Dr. Gle land D. McCafee of Chicago. on . similar plan as the church's emerg- ency national service commiSsion created When the world war burst upon us" a-
 Designation of June 90, the Sun day before Independence day as National Loyalty Sunday for the presentation of an appeal for better law observance in all Its churches.
 Continuance of the church's board of education plan of devoting its moral welfare department to an in- tensive program of education upon the duty of obedience to and en- forcement of the law within its con- stituency. ->-S,

Future evolution will accomplish this as well

The girls of today show higher average of

It is partly due to their better health. but In

Man is a plastic creature, not less SO now

their fingers and toes more slender. Their lit

THE men, q thousand years from now, will
have undergone corresponding changes.
They win be much handsomer than the men Of
today.
In both sexes the forehead will be more de-
veloped. with less protrusion Of the lower part
of the face. AS man has progressed upward,
this tendency has been continuous With less
use of the chewing muscles, due to prepared
foods. the jaw will become smaller and the face
less massive. Already, owing to narrowing Of
the jaw, the teeth are oyercrowded.
AS time goes on, peoples faces will gain

 Once Zena had gone, events followed fast and furious. Without her to smooth matters along, the Maharajah beautiful and extravagant daughter. Sudha left home and the proud Indian ruler would not deign to inquire whither she had gone. And although he knew of the close friendship be- tween the two girls, perhaps it did not occur to him that Sudha would seek "Zenabelle" But that was precisely what she did.
 To Zana she rushed, imploring her friend to find an apartment in the same house as that in which she lived. Zena, tender-hearted person and a loyal chum to the Indian girl, soothed her and soon had her installed there.
 Now Miss Bell comes from a wealthy family, and although she had an ample allowance for herself, she could not support Sudha as we'll Nor was Sudha, accustomed from her infancy to a re- tnue of servants humble as slaves, to every luxury and every enjoyment, the sort of person who could be supported save by one with an enormous fortune.
 Said Miss Bell:
 "Sudha's entreaties were irresistible. Her eyes looked at me so imploringly. And so when she suggested that l pawn my jewelry to help her I simply could not harden myself to the point of saying no
 For the first time in my life, and trembling with fear lest should be seen and recognized by someone who knew my people, I managed it. Sudha swore solemnly that she would see to it that was able to get my jewels back safely.

ranged that upon landing, Miss Bell should stay for while at the Mahara- jah's palatial home in Kensington Gore.
 There followed a period of gorgeous Oriental luxury for the English girl. The Maharajah, with Eastern hospi- tality, insisted that his home was her own. His servants, his automobiles, his horses, his possessions were hers to use as she willed. Sudha had con celved for the English girl veritabe adoration-indeed she gave her pie ture, inscribed "To my beloved from her beloved" And for a while

 "At last, all my valuable jewelry had gone. In despair, Sudha begged me to pawn hers. Unable to bear the sight of her anxiety and the knowledge that she was pressed for q few dol lars when her father had millions, l consented"
 The Maharajah, after three months, made it up with his daughter. Then he heard what had happened!
 The Maharaiah of Burdwan is a magnificently built man, about six feet high, dark statue that towers above most men, certainly one of the most impressive figures in country where even the beggars have dignity. The Maharajah in a rage was sufficient to terrorize any girl.
 And the Maharajah was in a truly royal rage.
 His fury induced Zena to give him the pawn tickets, particularly as he threatened, says the girl, to announce the news to her folks that she had been pawning her jewels without giving them, however a complete explanation.
 The Maharaiah, still in a dreadful state of anger, was thus enabled to retrieve the jewels of his daughter and Zcna.
 Zcna after a while, having heard no word from the Maharajah of Burd- wan, wrote, asking for the return of the jewels that she had pawned with the sole object of helping his daughter. What happened? Nothing.
 At last, Zena, unable to bear the strain any longer of keeping the facts from her people, told that she had not only pawned her jewels for the Indian Princess sake, but that she had also paid many bills for her, bills that Sudha had not dared to show her father, for fear of bringing upon herself another cataclysm of rage.
 And then the proud Maharaiah was ordered to return to Zena Bell the jewels to which, bafflingly enough, he had clung so tenaciously.
 Zena got back the main possessions, but now states that, to her amazement, she discovered that several important pieces where missing, among these a diamond brooch which she desired especially.
 If London was excited when the first case came up, it is nothing to the sensation that has been created in Mayfair by the news that a second struggle is to ensue.

<fYTYTHY were you not up to see N/ the sunrise? Are you so proud
 w of the sunlight in Beau Bell (e's) brown eyes that you do not care for any other? Beau Geste."
 Such was one of the many letters, declares beautiful Zena Bell, that the Maharajah of Burd wan sent her aboard the steamship Rajputana, when they found themselves crossing from India to England on the same vessel.
 To him, she was "Zenabelle'-to her he was "Beau Geste" right up to the time of the rumpus which hurled them, sworn enemies then, into court where the Maharajah lost his case.
 And now "Zenabelle," otherwise Zena Armada Bell. daughter of Brit ish Army officer, of good family, is to battle again with the Oriental potentate, despite the fact that all the powers of wealth and high position are arraigned against her.
 Lovely "Zenabelle," in an exclusive interview given at the Mayfair Hotel, where she shares suite with her sis ter, Mrs. Graham, told the whole story, part of which already has created sensation in Court circles and the'rest of which is bound to create still greater one among the general public, if it is allowed to go into Court.
 Said Miss Bell:
 "I met the Maharajah and his beau tiful daughter, Sudha, at social func- tion at Government House, Calcutta. No Indian Prince has more influence than the Maharajah of BurdWan, none is more respected. Only few years ago he saved the life of Sir Andrew Fraser, the Governor of Bengal, when he interposed his own body between that of the Englishman and fanatical student, who, having aimed one shot at the Briton from close range and missed, was preparing to fire another. So, in my eyes, as in the eyes of most English people, he was hero."
 The Maharajah's daughter, Sudha, and the fascinating Zena were of the same age, and immediately they struck up a warm friendship. Sudha, who had only once before visited England. was enthralled by the tales Miss Bell had to tell and the Maharajah. eager that his daughter should find pleasant com panionship, encouraged the friendship between the two.
 Just how far his personal interest went, so far as Zena was concerned, it is difficult to judge. Certainly. he paid

And all the while,

declares Zena, although they dwclt under the same roof, the Mahara- Jah was writing her notes, proving at least feeling of warm friend. llness to her.
 After a couple of months, Zena noticed that while the Maharaiah showered hospitality upon her, he was not so willing to lavish money upon Sudha. his daughter. Eventu-
