CURE FOR ILLS
IN RELIGION

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 26
UNSO.-"The ultimate sOlu-
tiOn of all problems confronting
the church, the nation, and the
world today is only through re-
ligiOn."
DR.. John S. Mcdowell, Of New
York, moderator of the Presby-
terian Church in the United
States, was speaking. "Hard-hit-
ting" Mcdowell, they called him.
He is 63-year-old Scotsman who
has lived rugged, fighting life.
Lost Arm in Mines
At the age of 8 Mcdowell was
q breaker boy in a Pennsylvania
coal mine. At the age of II, he
went into the mines to dig coal
with men twice his size and
strength and at the age of IA, he
suffered and injury that resulted
IN the loss of his left arm.
The accident, however, was the
turning point of his life. He
went into the church, carrying
with him the rugged spirit of the
Pennsylvania coal mines and to-
day he holds the highest post in
the Presbyterian Church. He was
elected moderator yesterday by an
overwhelming majority at the
445th general assembly here.
DR.. Mcdowell said:
There was never an hour
when the nation needed the in
spiratiOn and guidance of a
compelling religious faith more
than it does today.
RELIGIOUS PROBLEMS
"An problems confronting the
church, the nation, and the
world are religious problems.
Something may be done by
legislation, by education, and
by ecOnOmicS-but the uIti-
mate solution is only through
religion.
"The task of christianizatiOn,
Is deeper than politics, for it
deals with men. It is more
fundamental than economics,
for it touches the sources and
ends of wealth, with men who
create and distribute, who ac-
cumulate and expend it,"

LAND Covenant
HAS COURT D. K.

Justice Peyton Gordon in
decision at District Supreme
Court yesterday upheld validity of
q covenant banning commercial de-
velopment of property on Con-
necticut Avenue, near Chevy
Chase Circle.
Owners of several lots near the
circle sought to have the covenant
set aside, contending conditions
in the area are so changed that
the property is no longer desira-
BILE as residential area. Other
property owners and the Chevy
Chase Land Company, of Mont
gomery county, which sold the
lots, argued the covenants were
valid and the property was still
suitable for residences.
The trial marked the second
attempt to have the covenants
set aside. In 1917 former Justice
Wendell P. Stafford upheld the
covenants and his decision was
sustained by the Court of Ap-
pealS.

PHONEY NURMI GETS
WOMAN'S COIN, JAILED
Czech Actor, Posing as Noted Finn,
Even Trains to Convince
Suspicious Fiancee.

BY the Associated Press
NLOMOUC, CZechoslovakia. - Pre-
~ tending to be Pavo Nurmi. Finnish
running champion, netted Johann
Niklasch, 31-year old actor, 5000 Czech
crowns, roughly $3.50, and two months
in prison.
Introducing himself as "the flying
Finn" to woman of SIS. and promis-
ing to marry her. Niklasch succeed
ed in getting all of her savings.
Continuous postponement of the date
set for their marriage finally aroused
the suspicion of his fancee, which he,
however, put to rest with the announce
ment that he was going to participate
in a long-distance run, Roemerstadt
to Vienna
The first prize of this event. $4,000
crowns, he just needed to set up their
little home.
To further overcome her suspicion
he even went to the point of training
before the woman in the outskirts of
the town. This apparently convinced
her.
Well supplied with funds for his Jour-
ney, Niklasch departed-and their next
meeting took place in the court room.
