CHURCHMEN SAIL
 FOR CONFERENCE
Delegation to Seek Com. mon Front Against
 TOtaIitarianism
By N. Cl J. c. News Service

New York, July 3-severai hun- dred American churchmen were scheduled to sail for England today to attend the first World Confer- ences of the Protestant Churches in ten years.
 They comprise the American dele- gation to the World Conference on Church, State and Community to be held at oxford, England, and the World Conference on Faith and Order at Edinburgh, Scotland.
 Interest will be centered in the oxford Conference, to be held under the auspices of the Universal Chris tian Council for Life and Work, where the Protestant Churches of the world will discuss methods to meet the challenges of Atheism, communism, fascism and naziSm.
 An attempt to form c common front against forces which seek to rob both individuals and nations of their liberty and to replace enlight- ened codes of human relation ships with the rule of the jungle" will be made, according to ofiicials. Such a plan is expected to be real- ized through creation of c central planning commission for the Pro- testant churches and common center Of information and mutual consultation.
 Special attention will be given ct the Conference to such matters as the technical relations of govern inents and religious bodies, the place of religion in the education of the young, the meaning of Christian Ideals for the economic order, Christianity and war.
 At the Edinburgh Conference, further efforts will be made to se- cure unity in the churches and to define the steps needed to bring about a reunion of divided chudch bodies interested in the common ob- jectiVes of Christianity.
 More than fifty-hve active efforts at merging denominations have taken place since the last world conference on Faith and Order ct Lausanne, Switzerland in 1927, many Of which have succeeded.
 The American delegation com. prises more than three hundred church leaders, preachers, college presidents, teachers, business execu- tiyes, bankers, lawyers. statesmen, youth workers and writers drawn nominations.

that loved memory, she had been
reborn given fresh strength
and tenderness and cheer to go on
with her lonely trail.
And more and more, as I travel
my own trail, I realize the quick
ening that lay in those brief inter
ludes between the work and
worry Of her hard-pressed life.
For day-dreams in general I
have scant patience. I suspect
that, all too often, they are just
another indulgence Of our human
1azineSs and cowardice-a flight
into the past from a present we
are too weak to face.
But I do believe each life should
have some precious, secret store
Of beauty at which it may refresh
itself such a store as my little
mother found in her memory Of
Ireland's bluebells.

THE Treasury Department believes of the most
important bills before Congress is the measure Civ

Congress must recognize that.
There is remedy for the narcotic evil unless the
human vultures who peddle the stuff put behind
the bars where they belong
The measure before Congress would strengthen the
seizure and forfeiture laws provide sitter penalties for
violation of the narcotic laws and give precedence in

long years, the beauty of those
episodes strikes me sharply.
How lost she must sometimes
have felt on that Far West from
tier-how cut off from the olo'
settled friendliness Of her home
land! It had been a sweet land,
that Ireland, in spite Of the great
storms that went stalking and
snarling along its fanged shore
a land Of deep, green moss,
and hawthorne hedgerows. and
daffodils tossing in bright, golden
waves.
And now there was this rough,
new place beside an alien sea,
with savage earth which had
known no gentling. No bloomy
meadows or ferny gladeS -. not
even gracious trees to break the
huge heave and lunge of the wild
hills. Indian raids the pioneer
men had faced.
But their dauntless, toiling wives
faced something far crueler to
bear. For them there was the long
rnawing Of loneliness the
choking hunger for gardens they
would never see again.
SAPPHIRE TIDE

Yet seldom did our own mother

warm on her tongue &c. she would
speak Of the bluebells Of ireland
that flung themselves, in a sap

less centuries ago. And 1t Is Diff
ficult to decide which is the more
dramatic part Of the story-na-
lures half-billion years Of manu-
facture or mans seventy-eight
years Of use.
Half a billion years Of mighty,
ceaSeless conflict of natural forces,
of continents flung UP from the
seas, land masses submerged by
oceans, great forests overlaid by
the silt of mountain ranges, ire
mendous preSsures squeezing out
the oil that now works for us.
And 70 years Of mans teverish
activity, of rugged human conflict,
of fortunes made and lost, Of fan
tastic accomplishment to fashion
in so brief a time the amazing
industry that provides America
with one and one-quarter billion
dollars in taxes every year!
WHAT Is PETROLEUM?
What is petroleum, anyway?
How did it come about? Is 1t
vegetable, animal or mineral? A
little of each, perhaps. Petroleum
is found in natures graveyardS,
in the cemeteries where earth had
buried its dead forests and for.
gotten seas. When twenty-ton
dinosaurs roamed the earth, or.
ganic matter was washed down by
prehistoric rivers into prehistoric
seas.
The earth shook itself, land rose
and there came a recession of the
waters. Great bodies Of salt water,
like Salt Lake and the Dead Sea
today, were left to go through the
long process of drying up.
Dried-up ocean beds were GOV.
cred with layer upon layer OF
sand and rocks. And, under their
tremendous pressure the bits Of
vegetable and animal matter at
the bottom of the dried-up ocean
were squeezed together, to form
natural gas or the precious fluid
that gives us gasoline and a host
of other useful products.
When the prospector sets out to
find himself oil, he looks first for
signs of a dead ocean, for the tell
tale outcropping of rocks which
formed the bed Of that vanished
sea. When he finds the right
formation, he aims his drill at a
point where he hopes there will
be oil-bearing sands, and falls to
work. He may work a day, a
month, or years. The drill reveals
the structure of the earth as 1t
drives downwardS, but no one can
tell whether it will strike oil or not,
It may find oil sands with no
oil in them, or nothing more valu.
able than the saltwater remains
of some old ocean. A hundred
thousand dollars may result in
nothing more than a pin-prick In
the earth's deep crust; a few hun
dred dollars may bring in gusher

Before the Civil War all that
was lacking were sufficient guam

fathers knew what it was, they
knew how to make use Of it, they
knew that it came out of the

larger quantities-that was an
other question. And then, over at

Inspection

UHF announcement that the Bureau of the Budget
has Withdrawn its opposition to the bill requiring
that every automobile in the District be Inspected
twice each wear is hailed with gee by those who are
sponsoring this legislation
It is asserted that with the Bureaus opposition elm
mated the bill will be quickly passed at the present
session of Congress.
The fact that the Bureau will longer oppose enact
ment however should not be taken as evidence That
the proposal is wise necessary or that 1t would con-
tribute materially to reduction Of the high traffic death
rate of the District.
Despite the fact that this measure is favored by the
District Commissioners and by at least one organza
ton of automobile owners the case IN favor OF Its
enactment is still woefully incomplete.
It would impose great load Of inconvenience and
further financial obligation motorists with prospec
tive results which are highly problematical.
Every motorist would have to pay dollar for each
Inspection not to mention what he might have to pay
for repairs should the inspecting bureaucrat happen
to be suffering from headache when he Inspected

To group which is facing the threat Of imposition
of an automobile tax by weight, and 100 per cent
increase in the gasoline tax, this Is not pleasant
prospect.
But the money which the motorists would be called
upon to spend would be nothing if there were any
assurance that the inspections would improve the highly
dangerous condition of our streets
There is no such assurance and there are no facts
upon which to base such assurance.
The number of automobile accidents the streets
of Washington attributable to faulty mechanical con-
dition of the automobiles involved is almost in
fnitesimal.
This is proven by official figures many years.
In Maryland, where they have law requiring Of
fical Inspections there has been appalling increase
in the traffic mortality rate despite the stckers carried
on wndshelds showing the to be in good condition
The great fault which is killing thousands the
streets and highways of the United States does not lie
in the automobiles.
It lies in the drivers in their careessness ignorance
or downright disregard of elementary safety rules
The two hundred thousand dollars or more year
which the proposed inspection law would take from
the pockets of Washington motorists could probably
be better spent Tightening up the rules regarding
the granting Of drivers licenses in bringing about
better enforcement of the major traffic regulations
