of Problems Before

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 23.-When the
General Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church convenes in Atlantic
City on May 2 it will be faced with two
outstanding problems which have an
important bearing on the future direc-
ton of the denomination. and their
solution is expected to take considerable
time and discussion.
One of these problems is the length
of paStorates. 1t has long been the
custom Of the Methodist Church to ap-
point ministers frcm year to year at
the local conferences. This results in
constant change. with ministers guess
ing every year as to their next charge.
The advantage of such a system has
been obvious, because it often results
in harder work by the minister and
infuses new life into many churches
from time to time. The rule has not
been hard and fast II church de-
mandS the retention Of its minister. 1t
usually wins its way, and this is fire.
quently true in the cities where long
pastorateS are desirable. But there is
now on foot a movement to upset this
old custom.
Terms Under Debate.
The other problem is the length OF
the term of bishops. These officials OF
the Methodist Church are not a third
order Of clergy. but are merely admin
istrative officers. At present they are
elected for life. There is now a deter
mined move to restrict their terms TO
eight years At times within the last
few years there has been an undercur-
rent of feeling that the bishops have
often usurped power that is not theirs.
There is also the feeling that bishops
become lax in their duties when they
know they are in Office for life. An
eight-year term it is felt. would make
for a more democratic form Of admin
istration.
Sentiment on both of these questions
was shown in The recent poll CT the
Northwestern Christian Advocate, an
official publication of the church. edited
in Chicago by Dan Brummit. Maori
ties were piled up on both of these
statements-that ministers should have
longer pastorates and bishops should be
elected for terms, not life.

met early in April at the Park Avenue

eIabour not for the meat which

Christ Jesus constitute the golden
text in the lesson sermon on

The First Church of Christ, Scien-

One of the scriptural selections

SAYS WASHINGTON
WRONG NAME FOR
STATE TO BEAR

OKANAGAN, Wash, Sept 10.
U.PJ-Seattle, Claekamas, or Spo-
kane, Columbia.
If the opinion of Judge William
C. Brown, of this city, was in the
statute books, either of the above
might be regarded as accurate in
formation as to which state Seattle
and Sponkane are in.
With all respect for the great
American whose name the state OF
Washington bears. either the name
'Clackamas' or Columbia would
have been much more appropriate,
the judge claims. And he should
know, for he is considered an au-
thority on the history of the north
west.
In view of the fact George
Washington never set foot in this
state and that the capital city OF
the nation is named for him, max
ing this state sort of second fiddle,
it was a mistake to name it So
Writers, he points out, do not use
the name of this state in their
stories about the west because
does not sound plau-
sible as a western name.
Much more romantic are the ear
tickling names of Oregon" Cali
fornia" and Nevada" and other
western states with typieally western
names.
Explaining how the state came
to be named Washington" the
Judge says: when a bill was in
troduced first in congress to make
the territory a separate unit. it
was proposed to call it Columbia.
Some eastern congressman jumped
up and moved that the name be
changed to Washington Rather
than lose the measure, sponsors of
the bill accepted the change"

MEXICAN TRACKS
BURGLARS TRAIL
BY OLD METHODS

McALLEN, Tex, Sept. 10. W.R)--
Hilario Perez, of San Pedro, Mex,
again has come into the role of
the Human Bloodhound of the Rio
Grande" with another tracked down
law violator.
Perez, old and with many years
of experience in tracking along the
Rio Grande, was brought here to
assist in the search for a house
breaker.
Accompanied by four federal
officers, Perez took up the bare
trail of the alleged burglar. Off
GERS followed the keen-eyed old
hunter, although they could not see
the trail and at times doubted
that there was trail. Perez went
on, sure of himself.
For miles, through fields, across
irrigation canals, along paved high
ways, he led the puzzled officers to
an isolated hut. There he picked
up several shoes. He selected one
pair and told the amazed officers
they belonged to the sought fugi-
tive.
II can identify their owner" he
said.
The officers, even more perturb-
ed, followed Perez's instructions
and arrested the suspect. Perez
unhesitatingly assured the officers
the suspect was the burglar. A
few minutes later the arrested man
made complete confession.

When J. A. Bentley of Sheridan
made his first trip through Vel
lowstone Park in 1896, the jaunt
required A days. He made the
same trip recently in four and one
half days.
The first trip was made on
horseback. The dust, flies and
gnats combined to give the party
unending trouble. The attacks of
the insects were so vicious, the
horses frequently stampeded.
The second trip was made by
automobile over good roads.
Bentley said his outstanding rec
ollection of his first journey was
the sight of a huge herd of buffa-
10, which was ranging in the Hay

for the theory.
During the summer hundreds of
state employees on road, forest and
other work are victims of ivy pois-

that he recommend the leaf eating
method of immunization.
"All this may be true" said the
governor, but far be it from me
to recommend it. 1 shall not even
try the remedy myself"
Health department officials told
Pinchot that it is quite possible

MEXICANS PLAY
PROMINENT PART
AROUND ELECTION
BY GORDON X. sHEARER
United Press Staff Correspondent

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 10. UP)-
Former Mexieans, now citizens Of
Texas. and the descendants OF
MeXieans play an important part
in the Texas elections. Along the
international border and in San
Antonio, they frequently hold the
balance of power.
Figures of the L. S. Census Bu-
reau for 1890 placed the Mexican
population of Texas at 683, ,631 or
lit per cent. Percentages on par
ticipation in elections are not
available.
Number Reduced
In 1922 the percentage Of eligible
Mexican voters was considerably
reduced. Before that time the wife
of a Mexican who had become ma
turalized in Texas was entitled to
vote. Since that date she, too, must
take out naturalization papers. l.
they were married before Septem-
Der %, 1922, and the husband ma
turalized. the citizenship automatic
ally passed to her with him and
has not been removed by the action.
Those married since 1922, however,
must secure individual naturaliza-
tion papers.
Importance of the so-called Mex
ican vote" was emphasized in the
recent state Democratic primary
contest between Governor Ross r.
Sterling and former Governor Mir
lam A. Ferguson. Spanish clrcu-
lars from both sides were widely
distributed in San Antonio. The
Ferguson circular recited the
friendly treatment accorded Mex
leans by Mrs. Ferguson during her
administration and by her husband
when he was governor. Mrs. Fer i
guson's pardon granted to General
J. M. Rangel also was cited. Cen |

OFFER OF FOOD
GETS MEN INTO
DETROIT CHURCH

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 10. {U.P)-
The combination of food and re-
ligion. offered unemployed men
here every Sunday, has proved SO
popular that more than 400 men
now await the weekly service.
In a vacant lot, the men gather
for bread, hamburgers, eggs and
coffee. Breakfast over, they group
around a piano for the church
service. They join in the singing
and praying, and listen attentively
to the sermons.
The plan was conceived by Capt.
Arthur Mackenzie, head of the
Mems Industrial home. When men
drifted down to his institution,
Mackenzie told them that if they
agreed to go to church afterward
he would provide them with break
fast every Sunday morning.
They replied that their clothes
were so ragged that they hesitated
about going into a regular church.
So Mackenzie decided to hold the
services in a vacant lot near his
headquarters.

RACKETEERS USE
CHARITY APPEAL
FOR THEIR NEEDS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. 10
U.n) - Raeketeering has reached
into the ranks of charity here and
is capitalizing on the depression
according to the Council of Social
Agencies.
Mrs. Rose M. Ohaus. assistant
commissioner of social service, re-
ports "self-help" organizations of
unemployed have sprung up in re-
cent months.
THE promoters she said, de
liberately are capitalizing the de-
preston. They organize their fell
low unemployed by telling them
they can obtain relief without sub
jeoting themselves TO Investigations
of the recognized relief agencies.
They go into the country and
obtain food from the farmers and
then solicit money in the city from
persons, who gladly donate to
what is apparently a mutual or
ganization of unemployed. I'm
fortunately, all of the credit. and
much of the money goes to those
in charge"
Several of the groups were dis
banded, Mrs. Ohaus said, after
workers had explained to
the members that only by everyone
working through approved social
agencies could help for the greatest
be obtained.
There was no accounting for
funds by the leaders of any of the
groups she said, "and those with
brains enough to organize the
groups were the only ones who
orofited."
She termed "promiscuous giving"
me of the greatest drawbacks to
effective relief work.
