Nor did they believe it when Ma
charged that her damaged nose had
been broken by Aimee's fist during
a fight at Angelus temple. They
chose to accept Aimee's explanation
that Ma, in a fit of anger, had
fallen on her nose and broken it
and let it go at that.
VXTHEN Sister is at the temple
w the crowds are larger, the
collections fat and there are many
conversions. Healing meetings are
conducted by assistant pastors, so
great is the demand.
Aimee speaks two or three times
a week at the night meetings, al
dresses various classes almost
daily and occupies the pulpit on
Sunday.
Her Sunday sermons are spec
tacles, frequently illustrated with
scenery and living characters.
Tableaus are given in which
bobbed- haired angels with tin
seled paper wings play promi-
nent part.
There is music lots Of 1t
and many kinds. A large band
plays before the services and an
orchestra alternates. Stirring
hymns are sung, there are marimba
bands. cornet solos, saxophone
selections and other instruments.
For Aimee's view is that it is not
wrong to play any instrument in
church, if said instrument is dedi-
Gated to Gods worship.
TINE fervor of Sisters ecstatic re-
Il ligious doctrines as PROFOUND
ed from her pulpit with all the fire
and enthusiasm of political
speaker, is evidenced by men and
women converted in an excited, rap
tured state.
Prostrations under the stress Of
her emotional stimulus are not in
frequent; she plays at will on the
emotions Of her audience.
All the while she is making vivid
gestures to hammer home her
meaning.
Sister gets positively lyrical at
times, especially when she is de-
scribing her conversion to the Four
Square Gospel that she breaches.
For example, this:

A INEE'S Jesus is a personal one,
L N a sad-eyed man, dusty with the
CRIME of Galilee's unpaved roads,
footsore, weary and humble. She
portrays Him not as an image, but
as a friend.
So she humanizes other biblical
characters.
Here is an excerpt from one of
her sermons about Dorcas-a wom-
an who was raised from the dead by
Peter at Joppa, and became a friend
of the istressed-which illustrates
the naive but fetching Mcpherson
manner:
"Methinks I see a red-headed,
freckle-faced, pug-nosed, barefoot
ed little boy come lirnping up the
road, calling 'Dorcas, Dorcas, where
are you?'
what's it, darling?' Dorcas re-
plies.
"Oh, Dorcas, I just smashed my
toe something awful down the road.

Perfect dyeing
SO easily done!

DIAMOND DYES contain the
highest quality anilines money can
buy! That's why they give such
true, bright, new cClors to dresses,
Grapes, lingerie.
The anilines in Diamond Dyes
make them so easy to use. No
spotting or streaking. Just clear,
even colors, that hold through wear
and washing.
Diamond Dyes never give things
that re-dyed look. They are just

easy-why experiment with make

Deserves a Chance

Sometimes they change. Some
times they do not. Sometimes they
get used to the idea that boys are
dates and dancing partners, and
later prospective husbands and re-
adjust their sense of values back
where they belong.
Those who Go not change, who
continue to count the attention of
men above the friendship of any
woman, usually are the ones who
end by breaking up homes and find
ing themselves alone and miserable,
because Of their unscrupulousness.
The attitude of a young girl usu-
ally can be attributed to the fact
that she simply isn't going through
the silly" stage very gracefully.
She may outgrow it. At least she
deserves a chance, after as long and
successful a friendship as the little
sophomore describes.

reported spending herself. A great

INQUIRE into the campaign OF Frank
L. Smith against Senator Wllilam
Mckinley. which led to the Senate
refusal to seat Smith.
Preliminary inquiries by special IN
vestisators for Nye'S committee nave
encountered several blind walls the
senator said. and the public hearing
was intended to penetrate THESE
barriers.
For this purpose, numerous business
men. politicians and other persons
Thought to have pertinent information
have been Summoned. Until the sub

The expenditures of S252,500 set
forth by Mrs. Mccormick in winning
the senatorial nomination was wholly
from her own fortune. She said she
had not accepted any contribution
from any person nor organization. She
said she had kept her accounts
naeticulously with a view toward
presenting her report to the Senate. :
Senator Charles s. Deneen, defeated

expenses were slightly less than $25, 900,
which he spent from his own funds.
He said the few small contributions he
received were returned to the con-

would sit here for several days, due

In the form presented for insertion in
the school books, the court held, the
prayer is unconstitutional.
One section of the prayer in question
reads: Il believe that Thou wilt punish
the betrayal of Germany and bless the
actions of those who seek TO free the
fatherland."
BY betrayal the FasciStS mean the
action of the German Socialists in sup

Another section to which the court
objected speaks of the German people

The Supreme Court took action at the
instigation of the federal government,
which regarded the prayer as violating

article reads: I'm public instruction
