Separated, Leaders

NJ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
MADRID, October 9.-The future
status Of the Catholic Church in Spain
was taken up for debate yesterday by
the Assembly as one of the leading
problems in the creation Of the nations
new constitution.
Discussion OF the question, by which
the republic intends to unravel the
tangled threads that closely bound the
state and church under the past mon
archical system, is expected to last sew
eral days.
The galleries were damned, and hun
dreds, unable to enter, crowded around
the doorways of the congressional pal
ace as debate began upon the conSti-
tutional project to separate the church
and state. Excitement was apparent as
guards searched those who entered.
Many women were among the spec
tators.
Agrarian Bloc Opposed.
The debate was upon article of the
preamble of the projected constitution,
which states:
THE state will entertain no official
religion"
Fernando de los Rios, minister of
justice, in whose portfolio the religious
question falls, declared from the ia
nous blue bench, where members of the
church and state was necessary be-
cause the civil government must be SUI
preme over other organizations.
Spain today renounces the mainte-
nance of the Catholic Church." he
said.
Dimas Madariaga, leader of the Agra
Fian bloc, said his party would de-
fend the church to the last ditch.
Predicts Bitter Fight.
III the Chamber expels the religious
z orders" he said, "it will be necessary
TO send an army to the Basque and
Navarro Provinces to enforce it,
The minister of justice said the gov
eminent proposed to pension $4,000
priests and otherwise suppress the an
nual church budget.
Minister De Los Rios warned Catho-
lies not to attempt to resist the re-
forms. declaring, You will only be con-
Quered again"
Dispatches from Alcoriza, near Tereul,
said that one man died of heart at
tack there and another was gravely in
Jured when police fired on mob which
was attempting to destroy a PauliSt
monastery. The religious men were
returning to the monastery from which
they had fled during the May riots, the
dispatches said, and the mob obliged
them to leave the town.

The fourth day, Dee was
nervous. Dennis would have
time to get here by now. Four
days since she had wired. There
was a chance though, that he
hadn't gotten her wire. Ser
Eeant Cook had sworn he had
sent it himself. Dennis might
have gone away from the Los
Angeles hotel for few days.
He might not have the wire.
She had heard nothing at all
from him, and had questioned
the officers each day about a
wire for her.
Nothing had come, they said.
At first, she didn't believe
them. Then, as the days went
by, she was more and more
certain her wire hadn't reached
Dennis. If it had. he would
let her know Immediately ....
A word from him, one word
would help.

And so dead as a last years

There is an obstinate streak
in a man which always impels
him to make love at the wrong
moment, to put his cigar ashes
anywhere except in the ash
tray, and to yearn to marry a
woman who doesn't want him
rather than one who S pining
to make him happy.
It isn't youths love Of ro-
nance that goes to the head
and makes the petting party
popular--it'S what comes out
of the cocktail shaker.
A man has q trick double
action memory. He may forget
his weddine anniversary, his
appointment with the dentist
and when. or where he first
kissed the girl-but he never
forgets the date Of the big
prize-fight.

Dee glanced around the

In about Is minutes, three
more officers entered the room.

with snow. and the chains on

Cook said.
Ross nodded and turned to
Dee. Last night, about mid
night, Roche called out your

up, as if he might be con-

lapsed into the coma again

rs there-any hope?"
Don't know" Ross answered
lazily. Don't suppose there

Dee cringed, her eyes still
watching Phil's door. The num-
ber was 287, but she didn't

focus it. All she knew was
that Phil was behind the door,

OCN'T
SNCUT
BY DR.. Logan Clendening

The proportions of an infant
are not the same as those Of
an adult. The head is relative
ly very large. 1t is about a
quarter the length of the en-
tire body. An adult so fash
ioned would be a ludicrous
sight, much like those figures
with huge papier mache heads
worn on feast days in European
countries and occasionally
seen in the news reels. Com
pared to the infants head pro-
portions as one-fourth the en-
tire height of the body, The
adults head is one-seventh.
The baby's chest is very
much smaller in proportion to
the head and abdomen than
the adults. At birth the head
has a larger circumference
than the chest. but by the end
of the first year they should
be the same. and after that
the chest should always be
greater in circumference than
the head.
Head Grows Rapidly
The head, however. in spite
of its relatively large size at
birth, grows rapidly for the
first few years of life. 1t
grows on the average of five
inches in circumference the
first year and then an inch the
second and third years, after
which it does not grow moce
than an inch and a half up to
13 or IA years, after which no
growth at all occurs.
In actual figures the circum-
ference of the head is about 13
inches at birth. l8 inches at
one year. 19 inches at two
years, 201s inches at three
years, 2l at five years, and
21la at 13 years.
Brain Becomes Complex
The internal structure of the
brain. however. becomes more
complex with beWildering
rapidity in that time. Reflex
paths are opened up and cell
connections formed for life. At
no other equal period Of time
does an individual learn so
much. He learns TO decide
from which side sounds are
coming, to turn his sight up
side down, to connect things
with words, to control the
emunctories, to take hold of an
object with his hand, to know
what Is what to eat, to con-
troll the legs for walking-and
ten thousand other things that
make him the most interesting
person in the world. Mussolini
and Bobby Jones are dumhbells

ured in the total amount Of
thinking and learning they do.

To Pet or Not to Pet?

A week or so ago, a. young
man signing his letter J. F.,
wrote to this column and said
he was like the rest Of the
boys, i. e., when he took
girl out he "petted." or pre-
tended to have "petted" when
he talked the evening over
with his chums. ITO kiss and
tell" has never been part of
a gentleman's code but I didn't
remind j. F.. of this when I
answered his letter. A young
lady signing herself Dot takes
the young man in hand.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have just read ]. F.'s let
ter. and l would like to cor
rect him. He doesn't have to
lie to the boys about what he
does when he takes a girl out.
Most of the boys would like
to find girls with whom they
can nave gOOd Time WITHOUT
petting. Petting is the cheap
est way in which to pass the
time. A kiss is absolutely
vulgar unless you're certain
you're in love with the man
you kiss.
Decent girls don't want to
be kissed every other minute
they would rather dance,
walk or talk than pet with
every chance Tom, Dick and
Harry that comes along.
DOT.
I'm very much obliged to
Dot for her letter and will be
glad to hear what other boys
and girls have to say on this
subject.
