the lesson sermon on Man Sun

Church, The First Church of
Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
One OF the scripture selections in
cludes the following verses from
Matthew. And Jesus went about
all Galilee, teaching in their syna-
gogues, and preaching the gospel of
the kingdom, and healing all man
ner of sickness and all manner Of
diseases among the people. And
His fame went throughout all Syria:
and they brought unto Him all
sick people that were taken with
divers diseases and torments, arc
those which were possessed with
devils, and those which were lun&.
tick, and those that had the palsy;
and He healed them"
A correlatiye passage from Sci

The new baronet had been an

FARM PROGRAM
JUST STARTED

The longtime constructive pro-

Officials, at their assembly here
today.
Speaking before the representa-
tives of the various State bureaus,
departments and divisions of
markets, here for the thirteenth
annual convention, Chairman
Stone urged them to continue
cooperating for the formulation
and development of a longtime
program for the rehabilitation of
agriculture.
Despite the drastic declines in
prices of farm products and the
resultant losses to cooperative as
Sociations, there has been a con-
tinuous growth in the cooperative
movement during the past two
years, Mr.. Stone maintained. Five
hundred more co-operatives have
handled an increase Of 500, ,000,-
600 in business in that time, he
said.
Sterilization of prices is futile
without control of production, he
added.

Prof. r. N. Carver, Of Harvard
University, was the principal
speaker at this mornings session.
He pointed out numerous errors
in the reasoning Of those who
advocate the reduction of the
working time of labor as a rem
edy for unemployment.
John P. Frey, of the American
Federation of Labor, said cheni.
cal processes, increased use Of
power. and automatic and semi.
automatic machinery, have pro.
gressed so rapidly that their dis.

GN.S0-As soon as a baby is
born it is now possible to tell
whether it will be left-handed or
righthanded, the eighty-ninth an
nual meeting of the American AS
sociation for the Advancement Of
Science was told today.
X-rays, hitherto chiefly used to
locate foreign bodies in the sys-
tenn or to find broken bones, are
the medium by which this feat
has been accomplished. Photo
graphs showing the comparative
density of the bones of a child'S
arms and legs on the two sides Of
the body will enable the physician
to tell which hand will dominate.
The side with the denSer bone
structure will be the stronger side.
OF even more vital importance
is the new process which enables
X-rays to show baby's bone struc-
ture before it's birth. In births
where an operation is necessary
such photographs will indicate
when the child is sufficiently de-
veloped to permit safe delivery.

GN.S.) ).-Laborers today be-
gan the monumental task of
clearing away debris over
radius of city block in the
wake of the most disastrous
fire in this city's history,
which razed the Twelfth Street
Shops Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad with loss estimated at
more than $1,000,000.
The blaze, breaking out in a
wing of the machine shop build
ing, spread rapidly. its progress
aided by grease-soaked waste, oil,
and interior woodwork.
Roof Caves In
So quick was the spread of the
flames that the roof of the air
brake shop caved in five minutes
after the blaze was discovered. Ex-
plosion of acetylene tanks in the
air brake shop helped spread OF
the flames, and the entire main
shop fell victim to the blaze within
quarter of an hour.
The shops were closed for the
holidays.
Twelve firemen in one of the
smaller shop buildings narrowly
escaped injury when the roof
crashed.
Other Shops Catch Fire
Despite efforts Of the entire
local fire force and emergency
companies from Hollidaysburg,
Bellwood and nearby towns, the
fire spread through the four-story
machine shops, housed in two
buildings, the air-brake shop, an
erecting shop, Welding shop, two
storerooms and the miscellaneous
shop.
Automobiles within a block Of
the burning area had to be moved
to escape the soaring wave Of
heat which poured from the blaze.
Officials of the railroad hur-
ried here from Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia and discussed plans
for reconstruction of the plant.
It was indicated today that a
temporary air-brake shop would
be built Immediately, as brake
work for the entire Pennsylvania
system was done at the plant
here.

G.N.S0.-The human face-en-

chief subject of talkie close-ups-
got it's evolutionary start on an
extinct fish-like creature closely
related to ancient sea scorpions.
This theory was propounded to-

Fossils and data to support the
theory we're produced by Prof.
William Patten, of Dartmouth.
Over 40 years ago he began the
first studies of fossils which have
led to the theory.

From careful scrutiny of Speci-

face you can see any day on a

This now wide variation began,
he believes, with the evolutionary
