CHURCH OBSERVED
 TN A BAD WAY
Yale Professor Notes Loss of Power, Prestige, <
 and Independence

Citing Germany as an example of world wide trend, Professor H. Richard Neibuhr of Yale Divinity school, told his Second Church forum audience last night that the Christian Church is in a bad way Because it is becoming dependent, he said. it is losing it's power everywhere.
 The church. the speaker said. is becoming a museum of religion" He said that it was on the defen- sive when 1t should be aggressive, and that this was always a sign of defeat.
 g. Professor Neibuhr gave as req sons for the change the theory that the church has become de- pendent upon secular civilization, and the changing ideals of men, He said the world had come to accept the idea that nothing was great unless it was universally dis cussed and that the most import ant things in life were strength and power, forces directly opposed to the Christian ideal.
 'He stressed his belief, however that the church would "recapture it's independence" citing instances in history comparable to the present situation. Internal dis cipline," he said, "is the, only way in which this can be accomplished. We must recapture the faith that made the church."

of Quinn Bill to Curb

The people who devote their talent
to keeping the women of Washington
beautiful-the cosmetologists the hair
dressers and the manicurists-appeared
before the Public Health Sumcommit-
tee of the House District Committee
yesterday and Endorsed the Quinn bill
to regulate their business.
Without exception the beauty ex-
perts agreed that their profession
some call it an industry-should be
stringently controlled by law to keep
out the "racketeer" and the unSkilled
operator whose inexperience might
destroy rather than improve the beau
ty Of Washington's womanhood.
Dangers Are Explained.
The dangers of a beauty shop con-
Quoted by unframed operators were
fully explained by Mrs. Julian F.
Crandall, president of the Washington
Hairdressers and Cosmetologists' As
sociation. and Sam Lidoff, beauty
parlor owner.
Application of eyelash dye and the
use of permanent wave machinery by
inexperienced employees were especially
condemned.
Hairdressers' Situation.
washington hairdreSsers are badly
in need of regulation" declared Mrs.
Crandall. Beauty culture has grown
into a racket of the worst kind Any
person can open up shop and start
hairdressing without any previous
training. Beauty culture is profess
sion that must be followed with in
telligence"
Representative Quinn, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania author of the bill, eX-
planned that its purpose is to regulate
q business that is Wrecking itself
Most beauty schools are rackets, "
he declared.
When Quinn was told there are be-
tween 600 and 700 beauty shops in
Washington. he remarked Well, if
that's@true the women ought to be a
lot better looking"
