AIRPORT SITE
NARR0WS TO
4 CHOICES
Final "Pick" DELAYED
Because of illness
of F. A. DeIano

Selection of a site for Washing
tons municipal airport was mar
rowed down to four tracts of land
today by the Airport Commission
Final selection was delayed until
the next meeting at l o'clock
Wednesday because of the illness
of Frederic A. Delano, uncle Of the
President.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the commits
sion, reluctantly made this an
nouncement at the conclusion OF
today's meeting of the commission
and refused to elaborate further
because of the strict secrecy i'm
posed on the commission by Con-
greSS.
Since Mr.. Delano is considered
the one to express the wishes OF
the President the expected selec-
ton of the site at today's meeting
was deliberately held up until he
could be present.
In cutting down the selection
to four, it is understood the Com
mission eliminated more than a
score of sites suggested. Specula-
ton as to where these sites are
located in many quarters places
them at Gravelly Point, Washing
ton Airport and two sites close
to the District Line in Maryland.

Sir Walter Gives
Farley and Scion
A Headache
International News Service

Congenial Jim" Farley, the big
Postmaster General, was receiving
quite a lot of rubbing today about
his remarks about Sir Walter
Raleigh.
In his address at the dedication
of the new Arlington (Va) post
office building, Farley's speech
first had Sir Walter landing in
Virginia in 1885. Later this was
corrected to read that he landed
in North Carolina, then a part OF
Virginia.
In fact authentic biographers
say he never set foot on the North
American Continent although he
sent expeditions here.
Farley's responsibility for the
blunder was removed because his
speeches was prepared by his as
SistantS.
The man whose face was really
red today was Representative Lind
say C. Warren CD of North Caro-
lima.
He noticed that Farley'S pre-
pared speech had Sir Walter land
ing in Virginia. He said the noble
man landed in North Carolina and
quickly told j. Austin Latimer, of
South Carolina, Farley'S special
assistant.
Latimer wasn't so sure about it.
He consulted the departments re-
search staff and was told Warren
was right. A hasty correction was
made and rushed to Farley at
Arlington.

Kent May Be Best Man
The wedding, according to the

leonburg, set in an Alpine setting
in Southern Austria. The castle

plans to resume his old "job" as
the British empires goodwill en-
voy, and as such make a trip to
the United States a year hence,
were denied by Rogers, who said
the duke has not made any
nlanS so far ahead

lication which came by chance into his home. '"These are the people for India" he exclaimed, and stepping down from his place of honor and prestige, he came to England, became humble Sal- vationist, and later the pioneer of Army missionary endeavor in In- dia.
 In such almost casual ways the Army extended its mission to for- eign lands. Today in 90 countries and colonies the message of the Gospel is preached in 87 lan- guages and dialects. Lepers are cared for in beautiful up-to-date colonies, where they receive the very best of medical care. Grim inal tribes are committed to the care of the Salvationists in large settlements, where useful trades are taught. Those who stole, steal no more, and progress is so def1- mite that some of these settle rnents have been closed to because the Inhabitants, living by honest work rather than plunder and murder.
 In some cases, whole villages have given up their worship of idols, and the village has become known as a Salvation Army vil- lage. Illness becomes less, intelli- gence develops, crime disappears, and the whole standard of life and living is raised.
 Most important of all, the chil- dren are growing up in a new en- vironment. Instead of the cruel and revolting gods of their parents childenhood, they are growing up to know and love the Friend of little children.
 These are a few of the reasons why The Salvation Army believes in foreign missionary work and why it has for its perpetual motto, Christ for the world-the world for Christ"

Catholic Data
IS THE CATHOLIC MIND
 HIDE-BOUND?

In the little store below the street level, the Greek delicatessen dealer figures his profits on the basic prin- ciple that two and two make four, He has to, or he'll go wrong in his accounts.
 Behind the mahogany desk, the expert engineer plans the mammoth skyscraper on the basic principle that two and two make four. He has to or his building will never stand.
 The humblest Catholic layman and the wisest theologian worship on the same basic principle-that Christ founded one church, which, like its Founder, is infallible in mat ters to do with the soul.
 If the theologian's mind is hide bound because he must be guided by the same religious dogma as the layman's, then the engineers mind is hide-bound because he dare not deviate from the delicatesSen deal- CTS mathematical dogma.
 The dogmas of the Catholic church are comparatively few-few- CT than those of science and art fewer than those of a profession or a business.
 You can't even play a good game of golf without following the basic principles of the game. Then, why indict the Catholic who does the same thing in the vital matter of saving his soul?
 Have You a Question to Ask?
 Every belief and practice of the church has behind 1t sound logic. It is only because things Catholic are misunderstood that they are criti- cized by the sincere non- Catholic. In the spirit of fair play, will you not give us a chance to state the Catholic viewpoint on any Catholic subject which to your mind is ob- jectionable.

 The subject of the Sermon will be Ancient and Modern Nec- romancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced"
 The Golden Text is from Jere- miah 15:2O, 21: T am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible"
 Selections from the Christian Sci- ence textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scripture" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page 103: 18-31: "As name in Christian Science, animal magnetism or hypnotism is the specific term for error, or mortal mind, It is the false belief that mind is in matter, and is both evil and good that evil is as real as good and more powerful. This belief has not one quality of Truth. It isl either ignorant or malicious. Tha malicious form of hypnotism ulti- mates in moral idiocy. The truths of immortal Mind sustain man, and they annihilate the fables of mor- tai mind, whose fiinsy and gaudy pretensions, like silly moths, singe their own wings and fall into dust. In reality there is no mortal mind and consequently no transference oil mortal thought and Will-poWer."

 THE REMAKING OF JACOB
Text: Genesis 22:1s-e2; s2-s4-so

One may easily read into nar- rative like this conceptions of God and of religious experience that are associated with a later develop ment in the life of Israel. But the remarkable thing is the way in which this simple, primitive narra- tive is so true to vital experience. Lying down, weary, and with stone for pillow, Jacob dreamed dream of ladder reaching up to heaven. Awakening, the dream be- came for him symbol, an evidence of the divine presence, and he showed the spirit of devotion by taking the stone upon which he had slept, setting it up for pill lar, and pouring oil upon the top of it.
 He was capable of reverence and devotion, and no man can have the true experience of religion, or can face life with adequate equipment, who is devoid of these things.
 His conception of religion was not altogether the highest. There is more or less sense of bargaining in his VOW that if God would be with him and would prosper him giving him food and raiment, he would give one-tenth of all that he had to God.
 But one need not quibble too much about Jacobs bargaining spirit. There probably are very few of those who might criticize him who give one-tenth of their income for religious purposes.
 The point is that Jacob was thor oughly moved to something higher and finer than he had had in his life before. The story of the wrest- ling apparently symbolizes some in- ward struggle before this experience of Jacob became real.
 From that struggle, Jacob en- erged with a sense of conquest and with 8 new hope and peace. He had had an experience that transformed his life, and the Jacob who came from Bethel to go about his daily tasks and duties was a very differ SAAo AAAeSAA 4AOAAA VAAV O0OOO WILL 41dO tricked ESau out of his birthright, and who had hitherto lived so com- pletely for Self-seeking.
 Perhaps the transformation be- gan before his experience at Bethel, when Jacob realized the meaning of earthly love. There is 8 world of significance in the simple Bible statement that "he served IA years for Rachel, and it seemed but day."
 One recalls the proverb of later world, Man, while he loves, is never quite depraved," and one won- ders whether the experience of Bethel did not have its beginning when Jacob first developed new sense of love and earthly devotion. That is often the first real step of man toward God.
