President RooSevelt's Board OF

settle disputes arising through
operation of the national emer.
gency act, continued its prelimi-
nary session today, while await
ing the arrival of its chairman,
Senator Robert F.. Wagner CD
of New York. now in Europe.
Only four of the seven men,
bers named last week by the
President are here-Walter c.

Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers; DR.. Leo Wolman,

store, Boston.
Besides Senator Wagner, those
absent were William Green, presi-
dent of the American Fedra-
ton of Labor, and Gerard SWope,
president of General Electric.
Quick Action Needed
The emergency nature Of most
of the pending industrial disputes
is such that they will be con-
sidered Immediately by those
members able to attend.
The bitter quarrel between some
elements of union mine workers
and their employing operators has
been composed on condition that
the board take up the contro-
verted questions at once.
Other questions are expected to
arise under the steel code, as we'll
as those of other major industries.
The lumber, oil, steel, and coal
codes are all potent trouble-brew-
erS.
Minor Disputes Probable
Even in those lesser agreements
thought safely enacted by eXecu-
tive order, there are matters which
may flare into disastrous strikes
or other labor troubles. There are
also technical questions between
industries operating together in q
code arrangement.
Miners were meeting today at
Uniontown, Pa, with Edward F.
McGrady, of the NRA labor ad-
visory board, present to promise
them the Governments arbitra-
ton of any matters still unsettled.
It was hoped they could decide
on a basis on which to return to
the mines, some 10000 of their
fellows having gone back to work
Monday.

Polish Anthropologist Here
To Study Under Hrdlicka
KING GEORGE AT REGATTA

The Polish anthropologist is
studying the skulls of early North
American peoples to establish a
relationship with the early peoples
of Asia, she says. To do this
properly, she says, she had to
come to America where there is
the greatest collection.
She says that DR.. Hrdlicka is
we'll known in Europe as a spe-
cialist in the anthropoiogy of
North America and for this rea-
son, she came to study in his
laboratories. Her husband, Kari
mierz Stolyhwo, also a famous
anthropologist, knows him per-
sonally.
When she leaves Washington

By the revolutions. and fortunes OF
the Civil War it was found that a
change had taken place in political and
social relations between the races COM
posing the church SO that it was deem
ed necessary to form a separate rel

Consequently the organization of the
Colored Methodist Episcopal Church
was organized in Jackson, Tenn, De-

presided over by Bishop Robert Paine,
D. D., one of the Bishops Of the Me-
thodist Episcopal Church South.

BY the previously mentioned facts
it may be clearly seen that the c. M.
E. Church is a direct defendant of the
parerst body. During the 63 years Of
the church's existence it has been pre-
sided over by 16 regularly elected bis
hops, seven of whom still live. Bishop
Isaac Lane one of this number, is the
oldest living Bishop in the world, hav-

HEALTH TOPICS
(By DR.. William E. Miller)
ESSENTIALS TO GOOD HEALTH

When all the different parts of the
Ioiy are giving 1000 service and SAL
isfaction we have good health. There
axe several things that we can do t.
insure good health, among them are
y athing fresh air, getting plenty Of
sleep, eating good food and keeping
the body clean.
Fresh air keeps the blood full Of
oxygen, a substance that is essential to
life. This substance adds new life to
all the small cells of the body. When
we breathe air that is pure and fresh
we feel invigorated, strong, young and
able to do a full days's work. 1t is i'm
perative that we breathe pure air at
night when we are sleeping as much
as when we at working. Thus the VI >r-
dow should be raised to some extent
even in the winter time. We should
keep our faces cold but our bodies
warm.
The average person needs eight
hours sleeps. There are some individ-
uals who require more than this "a
mount and there some individuals who
require less than this amount.
Each person should have his correct
quota of sleep regardless of how much
or how little he requies. Sufficient rest
and sleep will de- more to keep per-
son well and healthy than all the drugs
known. Sleep with plenty of fresh all
in the room, but keep warm.
BY good food we mean meats, fresh
fruits and Vegetables, plenty of brea1
and butter and potatoes. We do not
mean pies, cakes and cookies. A little
sugar is good but a lot of sugar Is
harmful. The same thing may be said
about any type Of food. Eat enough
but do not over eat. Be sure that your
expansion at your waist line is moi
equal to your chest expansion.
Cleanliness is next to Goodness, thus
saws the old ad.-e. We can all keep
clean, regardless of how poor or how

A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE HISTORY
OF THE COLOT,.D METHODIST
CHURCH BY DR.. c. H. COPELAND

From the Introduction of Method
ism on this continent. We have ever
constituted a part of the great method
list family-First, as members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in A
nerica, and also after the change took
place by which we were known as the
Methodist Episcopal Church in the
United States; and when the division
took place in 1874 which we regard rs
legal and constitutional division of
the Church. We formed a part of that
division called the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, which relation we con-
tinued to sustain until the organization
Of our Church took place at the Cen
eral Conference held at Jackson, Tenn,

rich we are. Nothing is better from a
health stand point then to begin the
lay with bath, tub or sponge. Daily
baths keep he pores CT the skin open
and clean and thereby aids our bodies
in throwing off all waste matter. Of
course all of us know how fresh and
clean bath makes us feel thus let US
rersolve to feel fresh and clean each
day.
There are other things that are i'm
portant to good health, but if we follow
these simple things we will be well
repaid.

of the greatest of all backs, with
Shaver close behind. And Schal-

their trouble blocking the skill and

backhelds can offer.

posed Of Southern California athletes

which won't do them any harm.
That combination Of Ernie
