ROTARY TOLD
OF BIG CHALICE
New York Artist Addresses
Club on Relic of lEarly
Christians \

The Great Chalice of An tloch
was the subject of an interes ting
talk before the Henderson,. lille
Rotary club yesterday by Wilfo fd
s Conrow, portrait painter, 'o1
New York City, who is spendln.s
some time at his cottage near Eto-'
wah. ,.- or
He described the discovery, OF
the Chalice in 1910 at Antioch as
the greatest contribution to Chris
tianity since the New Testament
because, he declared, the Challce
, gives definite proof that Christ
and his apostles lived and lived at
the time the New Testament sald

| of Christian art, and consists OF
an inner and outer cup, the outer
being decorated and a Deautl1ul
specimen of pagan art.
Its discovery at any time prior
TO 1910, he said, would have
meant that it's value would have
been destroyed because prior TO
that time there were no methods
of removing the demonstrations OF
| time and air without removing
the inlaid work on the outer cup
Everything found on the Chal,
ice has it's counter part in teXtual
references in the New Testament,
| he said. There are roughly II
commandments inclosing person
lagos of outstanding Importance IN
! THE early church. Two of these
are of Christ and the other ten
are of apostles.
From an artistic viewpoint, ne
declared that nine of these apos-
ties were so we'll done that they
must have been made from actual
sittings or from sketches of the
iperson. This is clearly seen, he
said, although the heads of these
figures on the cup are only three
eighths of an inch. The work on
the tenth is equally good, but
from the work it is apparent that
it was done from memory or de-
scription. :.
The discovery of the Chalice
and its study, he said, was given
| to the world at an opportune
time, because it was time when
there was a definite movement in
lsome quarters to believe that the
Ichurch was an invention of doc
Urine from the second or third
century and that the characters
of the New Testament never &C.
tually lived.

LEAGUE IN FRIENDLY
GESTURE TO ITALY

GENEVA, Sept. 24.-CUP);-
The League of Nations assembly
today made conciliatory gesture
toward Italy, electing a represen-
tative of the nation as one OF the
six vice-presidents. =,
1t was feared that Italy would
withdraw permanently after the
seating of the Ethiopian delega-
ton. An announcement was eX-
pected today from Rome.
Meanwhile the attention OF the
league was turned to the Spanish
civil war and diplomatic roper
cussions from the revolt.

The shooting of Taminato cul-

including the murder of a consul

Japanese newspapermen in Cheng-
tu, capital of Szechuan province;
the murder of a japanese drug
gist in the south, at Pakhoi, up
the Pearl river from Canton, and
attacks on Japanese at scattered
points in North China. The at
tacks were ascribed to general
increase of anti-Japanese agita-

cause of the anniversary this
month of the Mukden incident
which resulted in occupation Of
Manchuria by the japanese army
and eventual creation Of the Jap

The situation early today was
not dissimilar from that of Jan

that now there are no Chinese
troops in the areas adjacent to

DEAR SIRS:
I noted with great interest your recent ref
erence TO the problem Of penalogy now facing
this country.
We in the U. S. have scarcely begun the
scientific study of penalogy. Few countries have.
The purpose of punishment, revenge has loom
ed too large, and the purpose of reformation CT
the offenders has been obscured. Society should
and does segregate the evil-doer as far as pos
sible, in self protection but it ought to keep
in view also the Reconstruction of the offender.
We speak of criminal class, when such
great authorities as LinbroSo of Italy and
Thomas Matt Osborne assure us that there is
no criminal class, but only individual human be-
ings mostly boys who have had poor chance,
or no chance, and Sc have swung away at tan
gent from the right orbit Emerson tells us that
there is not crime in the calendar, of which
he did not recognize he was capable Most of
us can echo that statement. We are all poten-
tial thieves murderers drunkards, dope-fiends.
That we do not 90 to these lengths is because
of our education, protected environment and
opportunities.
1t follows naturally that the obligation of
society lies in the direction Of supplying educa-
tion, environment, opportunity to all the people
to prevent their becoming criminals in the first
place, and the same things TO actual criminals to
try and reform them. 1t is a crime the part
of society to leave men idle in prison instead of
training to trades, teaching them. in all branch
es, and most of all educating them as citizens.
It would appear from this that man trained in
trists) should diagnose each prisoner as to what
is wrong with his thinking and prescribe the
kind of training which will cure him of his
mental malady Prisons should be hospitals.
Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing.
backs every word here written and the present
great warden of Sing Sing, Lewis f. BaWeS who
wrote it has spent his life in the scientific study
of penology. America, progressive in most things,
should become progressive in this, too, and lead
the world in such investigation.

By All Means Should the
District Indebtedness Be Refunded

acres in Mesquite Lake area.
The more producing acres there are,
the lighter will be the tax load per acre!
Furthermore, success of the govern
ment's investment in the entire ALL
American Canal and the Imperial Valley
program is founded upon the continued
and improved fertility of our soils. Be
cause this fertility is seriously endanger-
ed by lack of proper drainage, it is to the
governments interest that the drainage
funds be provided and that the farmers
tax load be lightened.
To further delay proceedings by
"horse-trading' with the bondholders
might prove disastrous. The past months
have been spent in this manner without
success Imperial Valley cannot afford
to continue "haggling' longer lest it
wake up some morning and find no more
government money available.
The board knows this and is wise in
striking while the iron is hot. Especially
is this advisable in view of the fact that
the soc offer on an interest basis of
or 3.5 per cent is just as good as the
original offer of 75c on an interest basis
of per cent.
Viewed from every angle the refund
ing should be pushed with every possible
effort. The district program must move
forward. The government can and
should help in smoothing the way for
rapid and unhampered success in the
entire project.
Every thoughtful person in Imperial
Valley awaits developments with acute
interest.

No proposal is more deserving of
government sanction than the plan of
the Irrigation District board to refund
the warranted and bonded Indebtedness
of the district at huge saving to every
taxpayer.
Many serious problems still confront
Imperial Valley in its struggle toward
sound future without oppressive taxes.
The refunding proposal solves two of
these problems in this single move: re-
duction of indebted burden and interest
rate, and provision for essential drain
age
For many months, the board has
been working quietly to accomplish,
through refunding, the reduction of
the district debt from some Sl5,128,-
900 drawing an average of Sc per cent
interest, down to about $14,101 600 at
per cent or 3.5 per cent interest. Today
the success of the effort hangs in the bal
ance.
Bondholders were offered 75c on the
dollar face value. This was refused. But
the bondholders' committee intimated
that an offer of SOC would be accepted.
The investors justified their stand on
the grounds of market values and future
100 per cent value, and despite months
of jockeying and haggling, refuse to
further consider the 75c offer.
That left the matter at standstill.
Meanwhile, a bill permitting refund
ing has passed the senate and now rests
in committee in the house. The bill en-
powers the R.F.C. to effect the refund
ing but R.F.C officials balk at the SOC
basis.
IT is IMPERATIVE THAT THEY
BE PERSUADED TO REFUND ON
THIS BASIS!
If they do, taxpayers will pay only
to 3.5 per cent interest and be allowed
40 years to pay off principal of only
slightly more than IA millions.
If they DON'T, taxpayers must con-
tinue to pay an average of Sc per cent
interest and pay off principle obliga-
tions of more than SIS, ,128,000 plus the
cost of drainage programs
By refunding, there will be:
ID A savings in interest alone of
more than S15,000,000 over 40 years!
(2) A savings in interest, principle,
ETC., of more than S18,000,000 over 40
years.
Furthermore, the refunding would
bring with it 81 1,950,000 additional for
rehabilitation and drainage. This is be-
cause the refunding is predicated on the
district providing proper drainage, and
if the refunding is authorized, the drain
age money is virtually guaranteed.
AND IMPERIAL VALLEY NEEDS
NOTHING MORE SERIOUSLY THAN
1T NEEDS PROPER DRAINAGE.
The drainage proposal would insure
soil against despoilation due to alkah
and high water tables Furthermore, the
drainage plans already made and ac-
cepted would rehabilitate some $4,000
acres in the Vail area which have
become virtually useless, and bring into
new production some $4,000 additional
