Presbyterians Plan
Drive 10 Increase

Report Showing Drop
Of 10000 in Four
Years Prompts Move
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, N. c., May 29-A
report showing decrease of 10000 in
conversions and 5000 in Sunday
school pupils in four years aroused
the General Assembly of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
to resolve today upon a denomina-
tion-wide evangelization campaign.
After the report OF the Permanent
Committee on Evangelism had been
submitted by DR.. D. w. Richardson
OF Richmond, Va, the assembly ap-
proved program calling for preach
ing missions and conferences
throughout its territory. with minis
ters doing their own preaching.
A new Committee on Evangelism,
with one member from each of the
II member synods, was proposed to
head up the movement.
Pledging of $10,494 for evangelis-
tic work was reported by A. D. Mason
OF Memphis. At the outset of the
assembly, a request had been made
for $4,000 for this purpose.
Unity Efforts Opposed.
Committee reports on bills and
overtures made up most Of the days
business program.
OF special interest were overtures
from several Presbyteries petitioning
the General Assembly to instruct its
permanent committee on co-opera-
ton and union to discontinue efforts
looking to union with the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
Of America (Northern church,.
Interest was also manifest in what
the Assembly would do about the
ministers annuity fund. The North
Alabama Presbytery has petitioned
the Assembly proposing that the
ministers in the church contribute
one-tenth Of their income to the
annuity fund.
DR.. Brown Speaks.
The overture said that such action
should be recommended since after
the second year Of efforts to raise the
100000 necessary to launch the
fund, nearly third of the amount
needed was still lacking.
DR.. F. c. Brown OF Dallas, Tex,
told a popular meeting on steward
ship and evangelism last night that
"all our pastors should emphasize
the opportunity for evangelism not
only in revivals but in the regular
services"

British Bombing Plane
Speeds 295 Miles an Hour

LONDON.-Details of the fastest
bomber yet In service with the royal
air force are revealed in a bulletin
Of the Society of British Aircraft
Constructors.
The bomber is the latest modified
version of the Bristol -Blenheim
monOplane, which is in large produc-
ton in three factories. Hundreds of
these formidable planes have been
delivered to the squadrons.
Ingenious changes in design give
the new Blenheim a top speed of
295 miles an hour, a speed which
would be noteworthy in a modern
fighter but outstanding in a bomber.
This performance is said to have
been obtained without sacrifice of
essential and basic bombing re-
quirements. Carrying full military
load, the modified Blenheinn will fly
nonstop 1900 miles.
Power is supplied by two Bristol
Mercury VIII air-cooled engines
merged into the wing contour which
drive controllable-pitch airscrews.
Much of the enhanced performance
results from the adaptation of the
engines to special h;5h-grade fuel.

FORD EXHIBITS
FARM TRACTOR
Declares New Invention Will
Bring New Day to FARM
ers OF United States
TERMED FOOL : PROOF

Farmers are deeply interested in
the new mechanical farming unit
which Henry Ford asserts will
"revolutionize agriculture" and
make the horse and other draft
animals economically obsolete" was
brought out for its first public
demonstration last week. 1t was
shown in the process of construc-
ton on an assembly line set up in
the famous 'B" plant at Ford's
River Rouge factory, where sub
marine chaserS were built during
the World War, and in action on
the acres adjoining the Ford home
in suburban Dearborn. Ford IN
vited news writers, representatives
of farm magazines and agricultur-
al experts to witness and partici-
pate in the demonstration. The
motor manufacturer described the
new tractor and its related imple-
ments, the invention of Harry G.
Ferguson, an Irish engineer, as an
economical, fool-proof and practic-
ally automatic unit of mechanical
farm equipment that will displace
the horse on the farm just as the
automobile displaced him on the
road" 1t will, Ford reiterated,
shorten the work day of the aver
age farmer, make farm work more
attractive and thus bring about
"much needed return to the land"
The new tractor, a four-wheeled
vehicle, has many revolutionary
features, including an hydraulic
mechanism that keeps the imple-
ment automatically at any desired
depth regardless of the irregulari-
ties of the land surface, and a
principle of automatic weight
shifting that makes it impossible
to up-end the tractor should the
plow point become wedged under
tree roots, rocks or other obstruc-
tions. OF unusually light weight,
the tractor operates on three for
ward speeds and reverse, the
speed being regulated by a small

Papyrus Read After 116
Years of Expert STUDY

ROME.-A precious Egyptian pa
pyrus dating back to 1900 B. c.,
whose meaning experts since 1928
have vainly attempted to decipher,
has been found by an Italian scien-
tist after 10 years of study to consist
of list of taxes to be levied on
inhabitants of Lybian desert oasis.
But, Notwithstanding its peculiar
interest to those who were taxed at
the faraway time of its application,
the papyrus is highly treasured.
Experts declare it will shed an
entirely new light on ancient Egyp-
tian history, since it bears the
names Of all the mythical gods, he
roes and kings of ancient Egypt up
to Menes, first Of the Pharaohs, con-
tinuing to the Eighteenth dynasty.
The names appear as an awe-inspir-
ing prologue to the taxes.
First attempts to decipher the pa
pyrus. which was bought by the
Sandman government in 1923. were
made by Gustav Seyffart. who as
sembled the torn sheets, though he
could not read them, by studying
the texture Of the fbers and weave.
The papyrus then was examined
by many scholars. but none could
understand it.
Finally Professor Giulio Farina,
an eminent Italian Egyptologist,
director Of the Turin Egyptian mu-
scum, began his work on the an
cient scroll in 1923 and after 10
years of intensive research has been
able to explain its abstruse mean
ing.

Brewer said the Morse colony was

was visited by ships from Iceland
and Scandinavian ports for con-
siderable period thereafter.

pendent country" he said, but was
taken over by Norway in 1851. At
that time the king Of Norway prom
