LONDON, August 1Z.-Ten thou
sand guns echoed over the Scottish
moors today to greet a significant day
IN social Britain-the opening of the
grouse season.
Enthusiastic as the grouse shooters
ere. however, they are face to face
with the truth that the season will be
poor one. Unreasonable weather
has caused a shortage of grouse.
For a week. all visiting Americans
and others who could afford to lease
an estate or obtain an invitation from
friends headed northward for one of
the most distinctive features Of the
British social year.
Simultaneously thousands of Scots
prepared their own drive on the birds
before the title guests, who make the
months shooting a fashionable and
sporting event.

The recluSe of the cabinet is Labor
Secretary Perkins. She is so averse to
publicity that her own Democratic
publicity organization Is unable to get
anything out of her. Recently the
women's division of the National Com
mittee decided that the Labor Secre-
tary was getting the worst publicity of
any cabinet member. 1t schemed to
build her up quietly.
To effect that purpose three dit-
terent attempts pere made to get
information about her home and
her hfe. Each application tods
turned doiDn by her secretary. epen
the one that came from the official
Democratic magazine OF the ma
ttonal committee.
This establishes a new record
for political shyness among public
officials. Usually they are iDilling
to pay for such advertising.
What President Roosevelt's oil mes
sage to Congress meant was that the
States will be given an opportunity to
work out production control, If they
can. The oil crowd within the New
Deal is not very enthusiastic about the
State compacts, but had no other
ideas. That explains why Mr.. Roose-
velt's message was SO short, in fact. the
shortest he has sent to Congress this
session.
Underlying skepticism seems to be
based on the fact that the pacts are

every one in that industry is a gen.

METHODIST UNITY
PARLEY TO OPEN
Session at Evanston May
Lead Way to Joining
of Forces.
BY the Associs ted Press.

CHICAGO, August l2.-Seventeen
years of work by a small handful of
men may culminate this week in the
| unification of more than 5000, 900
people into one denomination of
American MethodiSm.
Representatives of the three branches
OF Methodism now eXiStant will as
semble tomorrow in suburban Evanston
for three-day conference. in which
it appears. so state those close to the
negotiations, that a plan acceptable
TO all three groups may be ratified
Even ratification Of such a plan by
delegates from the Methodist EpiSco-
pal Church North, the Methodist
Episcopal Church South and the
Methodist Protestant Church would
not necessarily mean consummation
OF the amalgamation of the three
units until perhaps 1894
That date would mark the centen-
NAL Of the schism of the north and
south branches of the church, caused
in 1874 over the question of slavery.
The Methodist Protestant Church
seeded from the mother church in
1928 over the question of lay rep
resentation.
1t was in Evanston II years ago
that the first steps toward the restora-
ton of the Methodist church TO a
single unit we're taken.
Meeting that year on an impulse
springing simultaneously from individ-
ual members of the three branches of
Methodism, the original of the COM
mission that will convene again to-
morrow in Evanston, began looking
toward unifcation.
Dean James A James, one of the
members Of that first conference and
currently member of the commission
as representative of the Methodist
Episcopal Church North, said that
should such ratification take place
1t would be years before the plan
would take effect. First. he said. it
would be necessary to lay the COM
missions findings and final plan be-
fore general conferences OF the three
churches. The Methodist Episcopal
Church South does not have a general
conference until 1887.
He agreed that should ''inter-
denominational comfy be effected at
the Evanston conference that the date
OF 1914. marking the anniversary of
the largest schism within the church
| would be a likely one for the final
consummation of the merger.
Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon, Charlotte
N. C., of the Southern church; Bishop
William F. Mcdowell, Washington
D. C., of the Northern church. and
Rev, DR.. j. c. Bloomfield. Pittsburgh
OF the Methodist Protestant Church
are respectively chairmen of their
delegations to the Evanston con-
ference.
