scrutiny today as the prosecution OF
United States Senator James j. Davis
neared its end before Federal Judge
johnson J. Hayes. .
Davis, who is director-general OF
Moose, and Theodore G. Miller, head
Of the Moose propagation department,
are on trial on an indictment which
charges they caused lottery tickets to
be transported in interstate commerce.

The 1880 evidence has been admitted
to the trial only as competent to show
design or plan for the offense charged
in 1881.
The 1880 chart, modified to meet de-
fense objections started with box

were two lines, one to a box reading,

titled that in the 1880 chart he included
expenses $4,000, which he could not
find explained on the books of the

works, declared before the League of
Nations Political Committee today that
Jews should be considered a racial mi
nority and given all rights and protec-
tion under minority treaties.
The committee in its studies of mi
norities had been asked by the German
representative, DR.. Won Keller, not to
mix" the Jewish question with a de-
bate on minorities since the Jewish
problem was special one Of race and
the Jews had never asked to be treated
as minority.
Flags Won Keller's Views.
The British commissioner, consider
ing Won Keller's speech point for point,
delivered defense of the parliamentary
system of government and criticized Sc
verely Won Keller's condemnation Of
forced assimilation of foreign minori-
ties by a dominant population"
The Briton declared
There is among the Jews a sense
of historic continuity. We must
regard German Jews, as we'll as Jews
elsewhere. as definitely a racial mi
nority"
Ormsby-Gore said he particularly OBJ
jected to the German delegates view
that people of Germanic origin every

Britain had survived very well without
regarding all peoples under her flag

After describing the great qualities Of
Disraeli who, the Commissioner pointed
out, always proclaimed himself as the
Disraeli who the commissioner pointed
declared that Jews everywhere were
bound by race. blood and history to all
Jews in the world.
The speaker demanded equal rights
for all peoples and insisted it was neces-
sary for the League ''solemnly to re-
affirm the resolution of 1922" which ex-
pressed the hope that countries Whlcn
had not signed minority treaties should
nevertheless extend treaty privileges to
their minorities.

UNWILLING HAILED
BYFAMOUS PRIEST
"Papa" Eftim Says Action of
Women Has Improved
Morals in Turkey.

IsTANBUL, Turkey R.-"Papa"
Eftim, famous Greek priest, says he
believes this country has become in
creasingly moral since Turkish women
ceased wearing wells. He approves of
movies, jazz and bare Legged girls.
Modernization in Turkey holds no
shocks for the liberal ecclesiastic who
revolted against the patriarch, pope of
eastern Christendom. and established
an independent church which he calls
the orthodox Turkish church. He is
thankful that Turkish youth has de-
velcped a passion for the movies, for
jazz dancing and for flirting.
Sees Good in Movies.
In a press interview he called the
movies great propagators of moral
lessons
If had my way" the priest said,
II would run movie films in every
church in the world. A Marlene Die
trich, by her acting drives home moral
lessons far better than any priest can
with mere words.
Modern jazz dancing is a healthy
return to nature. Temptation mounts
as barriers mount. Let down the bars,
and morality returns
Upholds Modern Dancing.
Look at the women in Turkey" he
continued, passions ran much higher
here when women wore the veil Since
they unveiled men scarcely look at
them. In the same way. the style girls
have now of going bare-legged in Sum-
mer produces an excellent state of in
difference.
Modern dancing is the best moral
force of all. A woman kept behind
lattices can be mans greatest in
ducement to moral degradation. But
women dancing in the modern way with
men are no longer a temptation.
Thanks to familiarity men become i'm
mune to feminine wiles."

When the fire had passed, those
