He made the stupidest things funny

shattered.
1t made Payne's heart leap to see
her laugh. She had smiled at him
gravely, tenderly. with more pathos
than humor. But Irving made her
laugh. He was suddenly mortally
afraid of Irving. Even Talma's dra-
matte power did not check Irving.
Between the acts and afterward he
kept Mary shaken with laughter.
After the hot, close theatre the
moon-steeped night was so winsome
that Payne proposed. in order to pro-
long his stay in Mary's company.
''Shan't we walk to your hotel?"
I'D love it," Mary said. with an
eager look at Irving. who shook his
head.
"You young people walk. My in

Payne felt that Irving was eliminat-

grateful. But Irving had not quite
gone. for Mary continued to chuckle

House Morals Committee
Changes After Hearing
Al Feeney.

After hearing Al G.. Feeney, state
safety director, testify that the slot
machine racket is corrupting youth
and peace officers, the House Public
Morals Committee today reversed its
decision of a week ago and recon-
mended passage Of the Jordan-Hoff-
man anti-slot machine bill.
Rep. William j. Black Cd, An
derson), who told the committee at
a former hearing that all the pro-
visions of the. bill are covered in eX-
listing laws, was not present at to-
days committee meeting, He had
indicated to Rep. Morris H. CoerS
Cd, Indianapolis), chairman, that
any action the committee might take
would be satisfactory to him.
Charging that slot machines were
increasing in number in Indiana, Mr..
Feeney told the committee it is a
racket that can exist only when
peace officers r paid off.
These one-armed bandits (slot
machines) are corrupting police and
control of these machines has fallen
into the hands of organized gangs"
Mr.. Feeney asserted.
Gangs formed to control slot
machines are turning to other and
worse forms of criminal activities"
the state police head declared. "We
have had examples of that in raids
made by the state police"
Letters from mothers and school
teachers were presented describing
how school children are playing slot
machines which %gangsters had con-
veniently placed near school houses.
IF you want slot machines run
out of Indiana, this bill will do it,"
Mr.. Feeney said. Under the pres
ent law the police are not able to
prohibit transportation, storage or
manufacturing of these machines.
This measure would plug the loop
holes. We could prosecute opera
tors who now r devising means
to defeat weaknesses in the present
law" he said.
The committee killed a House
bill which would levy a 10 per cent
tax on theater admissions, and de-
layed action on the measure which
would allow 15-round boxing
matches.

He likened interpretive church
work to saints behind stained
glass" and said that it must be re-
membered that christianity is not
a practice but a theory of reality;
a theory which to the Greeks in
Paul's time was preposterous, and
to the Jews a stumbling block"
IF Christianity is not considered
only as a theory of reality, it will
amount to nothing more than a
series of pragmatic excursions into
the practical world. It must survive
in what it has been rooted-a theory
about God" he said.
Today the conference voted to
organize permanently. Its organi-
cation will include a council of state
pastors with one representative from
each county, headed by ar execu-
tive committee. The conference
has a potential membership of 700
pastors.

presented by the Rev. Melvyn
Thompson, Northwood Christian
Church; the Rev. T. j. Simpson, w.
Westinghouse Presbyterian Church,
and the Rev. Wilbur D. Grose, 51St-

express u considered and vigorous
Endorsement of the proposed child
labor amendment to the Federal
Constitution and that we urge the
