Medal to Girl II
Ohio Girl is First to Win Medal
Given for Most Heroic
Act Of Year

For thinking and acting fast" in
saving the lives of two playmates
Katherine Van Horn, 12-year-old
lass of White Cottage, Ohio, received
a medal of valor and a toy Mickey
Mouse from President Roosevelt Sat
urday-
The medal was the first youth
award of the Army and Navy Legion
of Valor for the ssInost heroic act
during the year." It went to Rather
inc for saving Gerald Nixon and
Raymond Kelly last February 8 by
throwing herself in their path and
overturning their sled as they coast
ed down an icy bill toward an APP
preaching train.
President Roosevelt said he felt
highly honored in presenting the
medal to the plucky little girl "be-
cause you are the first person to win
it in the United States"
"There are lots of other reasons, "
the President added, zone of which
is because we in our lives have to
think and act very fast at certain
times, and it is mighty good thing
when one starts in at an early age
to think and act fast when things
have to be done.'
Still another reason he was proud,
he said, was that he judged from the
name Van Horn that Katherine came
from fold Dutch stock, the same as
I do"
Captain Ralph w. hobart, of Bos-
ton, past national commander Of the
Legion of Valor, introduced Rather
inc. She took the Presidents out
stretched hand with little apparent
shyness and replied 'fine" to his
welcoming ''Well, how are your"
The President thought the medal,
with its emerald plate bearing the
colors of the congressional medal of
honor, the distinguished service
cross, and the bar of the navy cross,
was" awfully nice very,very lovely"
hobart said "this occasion brings
together two great Americans"
One, he said, looking at the grave
little girl, was possessed of the
spirit passed on to us by great
pioneers"
The other, he asserted, was man
whose willingness to serve has
brought happiness to plain people of
America = The President of the
United States"

GIRLS MAY WEAR SHORTS
TO CHURCH IN ENGLAND

Girls in shorts may attend Church
of England services without fear of
reprimand. A statement to this eff
feet by DR.. Walter Nottingham,
bishop of st. Edmundsbury and Fps
witch, evoked widespread support in
church quarters.
In a letter in the diocesan maya
zine the bishop referred to previ-
Gus letter in which he corrected "a
mistaken Interpretation of st. PauPs
teaching about unveiled women in
church" by saying there was no good
reason why women should be re-
quired to wear hats in church if
they did not want to.
Describing IAN occurrence in one
of our churches lately to which my
attention was drawn" the Bishop
said:
"a cyc1ist and his fiancee, who
happened to be not only church
people but comunicants, and who
had come into the church not mere
ly to look around but also to. pray,
were accosted rather rudely by
some one apparently in charge be-
cause the girl was dressed in cycling
shorts.
"They were told that women were
not allowed in church in such
clothes.
Surely that was very reprehen-
sible thing to have done. Shorts are
worn commonly enough now, and
need evoke no comment.

Although he said the purpose Oh
the convention was to discourage in

trology on scientific standards, Dav-
idson consented to disclose the as
trologers read in the heavens that:
The general economic outlook for
America during the next year is
good.
The average citizen is going to
fare well.
There will be a boom in real es-
tate.
There will be no recurrence of this
years disastrous drought which star
augurS believe was caused by an eX-
cess of ultraviolet radiation from
the sun.
There will be no general European
war for at least a year.
Japan will not advance on China
until 1910.
I'VE want to put astrology where
1t belongs-on scientific basis
Davisond said. eve are meeting to
discuss ways by which astrologers
all over the country can get togeth-
er. If we obtain facts and data and
record them properly, they will

Mrs. Max Heindel of Oceanside,

how crime might be reduced by the
use of horoscopes She cited the hor-
oscope of a well-known criminal

his life if he had been subjected to
the proper training suggeste d
through astrology.
The convention was described as

can astrologers in three years, the
last gathering having been in Cali
