Beyond the Miracles

a ND it seems to me preposter-
L Nous that various sects should
quarrel about the authenticity OF
miracles and neglect matters so
much more important.
According to my notion one does
not become a good Christian sim
ply because of his firm belief in
the episode of the loaVes and fishes.
1t was not through such incidents
that the course of the worlds
thought was changed. In fact,
upon one occasion Christ healed an
ailing suppliant and commanded
him that he should say nothing
about it. A man with a message
does not like to have the principles
which he enunciates confused with
supernatural happenings. Educa-
ton is more than magic.
But Prof. Barnes will say (and
had said that the doctrine of his
laid down by Christ was not new.
Probably he is right, but what of it?

I think that many men might

those who learned the rules by rote.

 Steady Improvement

London. Jan. 23 UP)-King George maintained his steady im- provement today, an official an- nouncement from Buckingham Pal ace said.
 The announcement gave hope that the king might be moved to the seaside at a fairly early date although no time has been set for the transfer.
 It was understood, however, that the king probably would go to Bog nor at the end of the first week In February if his present progress continues. The royal special train most likely would be used, so that the kings physicians could attend him constantly during the half-hour journey.
 The Daily News said a special service of thanksgiving probably would be held in St. Pauls cathe- dral as soon as it is certain that the king is restored to health. A simi- lar service was held at St. Paul's in 1902 after the recovery of King Ed ward from appendicitis. and in 1872 when lie recovered from typhoid while Prince of Wales.

ment in enforcement"
 . Views Vary
 Washington, Jan. g MeWidely varying views of the proposal to place an additional $24.000, ,000 in the hands of the president for prohibi- ton enforcement were expressed by house members today as they await ed opportunity to consider the senate's approval of the fund.
 Representative Cramton. of Mich igan. an outspoken republican dry and a member Of the appropriations subcommittee which will consider the matter, was opposed to the pro- posal and Representative Byrns, of Tennessee, ranking democrat on the committee. favored 1t.
 At the same time, Representative La Guardia. New York republican and an outspoken wet, favored it and prepared a speech to show how the money could be used.
 Cramton declares he did not see the necessity for the appropriation.
 ''The senate seems to be getting hysterical." he said. Y think appro- priations for prohibition should be on the same basis as are all other appropriations. A need for the money should be shown and the de- partment should be prepared to point out to the committee just how it Is going to be spent. MT. Hoover will have to spend most of this money anyway, and 1t seems to me that we should wait a while and see what he thinks about it."
 Byrns declared he would support the amendment on the theory that the law was on the statute books and should be enforced.
 Testimony before the committee indicated that there was not enough money for enforcement" he said. Coast guard officials said they were not able to prevent smuggling on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and that they were doing practically nothing on the Pacific coast. There should be provided sumcient money to en- force the law and not afford the en- forcement authorities an alibi."
 La Guardia, who in the past has proposed several amendments to raise the amount for enforcement, said he proceeded on the theory that if the law is enforced. the people will force either a repeal or modification of it.
 Representative Wood of Indiana. ranking republican on the appro- priations committee, supported the view of Cramton, declaring that the department had said that it could not use the money. He characterized the amendment as 'the most foolish thing I ever heard of sensible men doing" and predicted that the house would reject 1t.
