CAPITAL STORE
SALESD0WN
INAPRIL

Washington department s t o e
sales showed a decline in April, as
compared with April 1886, as did
sales in Baltimore and the fifth
Federal Reserve district as a
whole, according to a report by
the Federal Reserve Bank OF
Richmond.
Sales in seven Washington stores
declined 81 per cent in April but
rose 4.3 per cent for the first four
months over the corresponding
period of last year. Baltimore
sales declined IL per cent in April
and increased 9.3 per cent in the
first four months.
Department store sales in the
fifth Federal Reserve district as
whole in April averaged 8 per cent
less than dollar sales in April
1895, the decrease this year being
due to the difference in the date
of Easter in 1887 and 1886.
During the two months OF
March and April combined, q
fairer comparison than that OF
April sales alone, according to the
survey, the reporting stores sold
~ per cent more this year than
in the corresponding two months
last year. In total sales for the
first four months of this year, the
district averaged an 8 per cent
gain over the first four months OF
1896.
In the United States as whole
sis stores showed a gain of 4
per cent for April and IL per cent
for the first four months.

STOCKS SETTLE

TRADE RANGE
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, May II U.N.S0.
After recovering from further
+: reaction at the start, the stock
s~market today settled into narrow
irregular trading range with plus
and minus signs about equally
divided.
Losses ran to 2 points in initial
dealings.
- At the end of the first half-hour,
though, brisk rally in the rails
toned the market, most OF the
losses being wiped out and a num-
ber of plus signs making an ap-
pearance.
U. s. Steel opened 1A points
lower, increased this to 2, then
dropped back. Chrysler converted
a point-loss into an equal gain, but
lost part of its advance later.
AtchiSon paced the carrier sec
ton, rising almost 2 points at
one time, while Northern Pacific
and Baltimore & Ohio each ad-
yanced a point before meeting

Generally higher levels pre-
vailed in amusements and oils,

Borometers

New life in Representative Lea's
Interstate Commerce Committee is
being breathed into comatose food
and-drug and Federal Trade Com
mission bills which for a time
threatened to kill each other by
conflicting and overlapping pro,
visions. subcommittee for food
and-drug and Trade Commission
bills are meeting in Joint session
now for the first time.
Indication that Trade Commits
sion will have a good chance OF
getting just about what it wants
comes from inside reports that a
Commission representative is work
ing things out with the Lea Com
mittee. It stands to win wider
control over unfair trade practices,
including some in the food and
drug field which Food and Drug
Administration would like to po-
lice.
Washington Menu
While April retail food prices
are IA per cent higher than a
year ago for the country as a
whole, Washington's food prices
are up only 4.9 per cent according
to today's monthly report from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Only Boston and New York of all
cities over 100000 had a yearly
percentage increase lower than
Washington.
Although wholesale food quota
tionS declined in April, retail food
prices over the country increased
0.3 per cent and 10 per cent in
Washington. Lower prices in April
for dairy products and eggs helped
to offset the 80 per cent increase
in meat prices. Slight gains were
also shown in cereals and bakery
products, fruits and vegetables
beverages and chocolate, and sugar

CONGRESS in A MIDDLE

The special session of Congress
was called primarily for three pur-
poses-the wage and hours law, the
farm relief proposal, and the bill to
create seven new regional electric
authorities similar in nature to the
IVA. 1t was assumed that these mat
ters would absorb the undivided at
tention of the session, and that moth
ing else of moment would be brought
up on teh floor or in committee.
What has happened? The wage
and hours law is in state of chaos,
with warning factions seeking to
change 1t one way or another, and
with a strong Congressional bloc OPP
posed to the passage of any law o.
it's type. The chances are against 1t
going through in the special session.
The farm bill is in a similar pre-
dicament-it seems almost impos-
sible that law satisfactory to the
various opposed factions in Hous-
and Senate can be prepared for
months.
The seven regional authorities bill
is, according to last reports, COM
pletely moribund.
Congress is almost wholly occupi-
ed with the business recession, and
with proposals resigned to prevent
! it from becoming another major
long-lasting depression. Tax reform
seems nearer to achievement than u
any time in the last four years There

WAR REFERENDUM

There are now 1876 Congressman
who have signed the discharge petit
ton on the Ludlow war referendum.
218 signers are necessary before the
bill can be brought before the House.
1t is not expected that the bill will
come before the House in the special
session. The prospects for such action
at the regular session continue to be
good.
The first attacks on the war refer
endum, which gives to the people
the right to vote ON wheather or not
the United States shall engage in a
foreign war, were delivered in the
House November % and 20. Speak
ing on November %, Congressman
Lewis (D-Md) voiced his opposition
to the Ludlow proposal because he
said it was an obstacle to information
al cooperation for the settlement OF
controversies. Congressman Lewis,
who is a strong defender of the
League of Nations, urged coopera-
ton with that body and expressed
the hope that Ultimately we would be-
come a member Of the League. On
November 23rd Congressman Faddis
(D-Pa) attacked the Ludlow propos-
al because he said it interferred with
our national defense program and
policy. Both CT these attacks indicate
the line which the opposition will
undoubtedly take in the coming
weeks. The strongest attacks will
undoubtedly come from those who
believe that the Ludlow proposal
will interfere with our national de-
tense. 1t Is probable that opponents
of the war referendum will now be-
gin to magnify all sorts of minor OBJ
jections to the legislation. 1t is
we'll to keep in mind two things:
"a That Congressman Ludlow is
willing to take constructive amend
ments, and (2) that the purpose of
the bill is a simple one, to give the
people the right to vote on foreign
war, and that the issue should not
be clouded by the Introduction Of
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1937-12-17

A lecture on Christian Science, en-
titled "Christian Science: Mans I'M
mortality Revealed" was delivered in
Baltimore on December IL, 1887, under
the auspices of First, Second and Third
Churches of Christ, Scientist, in this
city. Bicknell Young, C.S.B., of Chi
cago, Illinois, was the lecturer. Mr..
Young is a member of the Board of
Lectureship of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Massachusetts.
The lecturer spoke in part as fol-
lows:
The propositions of Christian Sci
ence, although not as yet universally
accepted, are more or less familiar
to the reading public. It is also well
known that this Science is primarily
a healing system, and that the church
organization, including all the activi-
ties of the movement, sprang origi-
nally from the healing work which the
Discoverer and Founder of Christian
Science, Mary Baker Eddy, performed.
Her book, "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" the textbook
of Christian Science, is widely read
even by people who are not as yet
known as Christian Scientists.
The doctrine which this book sets
forth is unique. 1t enables one who
takes the pains to understand it, to
overcome sin and heal sickness by one
and the same means, wholly spiritual.
According to the beliefs, education,
and experience of mankind, seldom
influenced as they are by actual truth.
existence is wholly material.
The facts of Christianity are neces-
sarisy divine. They are the facts Of
our real existence revealing the Prin-
ciple of our being. They have the
advantage Of permanency, which is
easily acknowledged, and they also
have the advantage of power, which
is not so easily acknowledged until
it is understood.
So-called material facts are con-
stantly changing and are never wholly
durable. Speaking in strictly sci
entifc manner, facts are never mate
rial Invariably they are spiritual,
and necessarily they are discoverable
wholly in the realm of thought. In
telligence is not visible realm. The
effects of spiritually cultivated intel
ligence are, however, visible, so that
even people who do not understand
Christian Science often observe and
testify that Christian Science heals
disease, and today practically the
whole civilized world acknowledges the
healing power of Mrs. Eddy's discov-
cry.

Martha Found a Way to

= HRISTMAS was drawing nearer

During the past months her income

Of gaily tied packages, waiting to be

fully she pictured the disappointment
of relatives and friends who would
think she had forgotten; they would
never dream she had grown too poor

JOINT HEALTH PROGRAM FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN

Three national groups-the Amer
lean Medical Association, the Nation
al Education Association, and the
National Congress of Parents and
Teachers-are cooperating in pre-
senting a health program for school
children. Suggestions for putting the
program into practice are outlined
in new pamphlet, entitled Home
and School Cooperation for the
Health Of School Children, prepared
by committee representing the
three organizations.
Emphasis is placed upon the need
for developing the whole child in re-
lation to its several environments the
home, the school, and other
influences.
The pamphlet, which indicates
briefly the principles and practices
by which homes and schools may CO.
operate in attaining their common
goal-maximum health for all school
children-also stresses the need for
a conscious concern of society for the
health and welfare of our children,
the future citizens of the state and
the Nation.
According to a statement issued
by the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers, plans for the distri-
button of the pamphlet through its
state branches are being worked out.

the healing system of pure Chris
ianity. The understanding of the
act of mans Immortality is primal
md indispensable in demonstrating
his Science.
Such facts are not ordinarily asso-
dated with the word Science" but
hey should be.
The realm of human consciousness
is the realm of what is called right
and wrong, righteousness and sin, good
and evil. Mrs. Eddy saw that and
stated with relentless clarity over
sixty years ago in her book Sciencc
and Health that it is mortal mind thai
sins and suffers, not the human body.
Tardily in our times distinguished
natural scientists in their ceaseless in
vestigation of matter have made dis
coveries that corroborate Mrs. Eddy's
doctrine. The fact is that in the ligh;
Of pure Science it is wholly erron-
eous to believe that one should doctor
the human body in order to heal dis
ease. The human body does not know
itself, does not know anything about
itself. If one were to ask at any time
of his body, "How do you feel?" he
would receive no answer, for the body
is not capable either of feeling or an
swering, and it does not know that it
is supposed to feel.
Christian Science is like all sciences
in one respect, and that is that it has
purpose. Being Science it requires
demonstration and reveals that which
is to be demonstrated. Neither health
nor wealth, nor anything else, can be
demonstrated if it does not already
exist. When health is revealed as
primal, spiritual, eternal, and inevita-
BILE, we are enabled to deal with dis
ease effectually.
