n1ent questions was being obtained
by observation of the disposition of
the cases when brought before the
Board OF Appeals.
William E. Leahy. chairman Of the
Appeals Board, said that about 30
per cent Of the cases brought before
his board had been reversed.
Members pointed out that the
principal question for determine
tion was whether in actual fact the
wife was a dependent of the hus-
band in a case at issue. Decisions
by the Appeals Board tend to indi-
cate that sometimes even working
wives may be considered dependents,
where a couple has based its mode
Of life on q moderate joint income.
On the other hand, a man sepa-
rated from his wife, and not sup
porting children or others, may not
be classified as having q dependent.
A similar decision would result

Sixth Column Urged
By Rotary Speaker
For National Unity

Of Christion Mission
Call for Living Heritage

A sixth column" among American
clubs to develop national unity was
advocated yesterday at . Rotary
Club luncheon in the Willard Hotel
by DR.. Harry N. Holmes, National
Christian Mission speaker.
Declaring that the duty of the
Rotary Club is TO keep alive the
heritage of American history" DR..
Holmes pointed out that the aim
of the club and that Of the mission
are the same.
Dictators Fight Ideals.
European dictators are fighting
churches there for preaching the
same universal brotherhood and
friendship for which American
organizations stand, DR.. Holmes
asserted.
Declaring that the Rotary Clubs

zation has a right to demand sup
port or authority which Is not saying
something to the whole world"
He pleaded for rededication to
church, club and Nation.
Answers Eternal Challenge.
1.-THE character OF America is its
response to the eternal challenge
of religion" he said.
DR.. Holmes pointed out that the
beginnings of the United States
are not lost in folk lore, like those
of many countries. American be-
ginnings sprang from such faith as
is exemplified in the Magma Carta,

and the possible perfectability Of all
people In the domain"
DR.. c. Jefiares McCombe, pastor
Of st. Paul's and st. Andrews
Methodist Church of New York, who
spoke with Miss Lester At Chevy
Chase Presbyterian Church, warned
that the entire educational system,
the church. the system Of govern
ment and the industrial order must
always be subjected to the most
searching scrutiny in the light OF
what they do to human beings"
Jesus lived, though, talked and
worked and died in the belief that
personality is the central fact Of
the universe" he said. The sacred
ness of human personality is the
most revolutionary and deterrnina-
tive concept the mind of men ever
confronted.
THE world is at war at this
moment, over the denial and de-
Tense of that fact"
Seminars Draw Crowds.
The various seminars which are q
feature Of the missions program
continued to draw large and en-
thusiastic audiences yesterday.
At one OF these gatherings, q
warning was issued that a new de-
preston in the United States is
inevitable" when the present emer-
sency passes and defense production
slackens.
Addressing a seminar on Chris
tan Social Relations" George E.
Bigge, member of the Social Security
Board, sounded the warning and
called for ".statesmAnlike thinking
in the States" at this time to prepare
for the problem of caring for the
increase in the number Of unem-
ployed.
State authorities, he said, should
make plans now and not become
over confident with respect to the
Ability to deal with future situations
In the face Of current large reserves
in unemployment insurance funds.
"Coverage should be extended to
agricultural and domestic workers
and other groups that are not now

Aims of the District Selective
Service Board Of Appeals and plans
for publicizing board decisions were
discussed yesterday at an informal
conference held in the ONCE of Gen.
Cox.
Representatives of the Washing

o. met with selective service Off
cials to discuss provisions of the
Selective Service Act, with particu-
lar reference to deferment decisions
by local draft boards, and subse-
quent action by the appeals board
Spencer Gordon, chairman of the
Registrants Advisory Board, told
the council representatives that, in
his opinion, early decisions by the
local boards on the question of de-
ferment had been too stringent in
connection with the determination
of dependents.
He pointed out that under the act,
dependency is question Of actual
fact, and in each case must be de-
termined by the individual boards.

that a greater uniformity in the

same gathering that the Nation is
in 1 better position to cope with
labor problems under the defense
program today than it was in 1917.
He pointed out that in 1917 4.450
strikes occurred, while 1000 less
walkouts, involving less than half
the number of workers affected,
took place last year, despite increase
in union memberships.
He emphasized that the strikes
Of 1917 took place despite 4 declara-
ton by President Wilson that In

interrupted.
Mrs. William Kittle, chairman Of
the District Minimum Wage Board,
told the seminar that the board

under a single sway-the will Of
God"
Can Christianity save civiliza-
tion?" DR.. Jones asked.
1T can, provided there is a re-
awakening and a revitalizing Of the
center of our civilization-the re-
ligious heart" he said.
But, he added: What we do we
must do quickly, for this country
is going either Communist, or Fascist
or Christian. The decision Is at
our doors"
In this same vein, Miss Muriel
Lester told a gathering at Chevy
Chase Presbyterian Church: 1--WE
can't overcome Hitlerism by Hitler
ism. We have to outtrain the total
itarians. We have to overcome them
by something more lasting, more
enduring than their temporary
sporadic power"
Obviously, she said, Christians
would be naive if they imagined they
could stand up successfully against
the evil of the world without con-
sidering our equipment"
ITO equip oneself with prayer Is
constantly to practice the presence
of God" Miss Lester said.
Church "Only Binder"
DR.. Roy E. Vale, who is pastor Of

In Indiana-the Tabernacle Presby-
terian Church of Indianapols-also
asserted, at a mass meeting at the
Vermont Avenue Baptist Church,
that the church lis the only institu-

Program 10 Attract
Younger Personsto
Church Wins Interest
Dr.. Bowman Outlines
Plan at Mission Seminar
On Christian Family

The story of what one church Is
doing to attract and hold the interest
of its younger members drew ex-
pressions of admiration yesterday
at a National Christian Mission
seminar on Christian Family Life"
The story came from DR.. Warren
D. Bowman, pastor of the Washing
ton City Church of the Brethren,
who promptly was questioned by
members of other churches wanting
to hear more about the program.
The problem before the seminar
was how to make the church a more
vital part of the everyday lives Of
its young people, and not just
place where church school and
church services are held.
ur-Pointed Program.
The Washington City Church Of
the Brethren, the seminar was told,
Is helping to solve the problem by
four-fold program involving:
l. A special course in Christian
ideals of love and marriage.
2. A training course to prepare
young people for marriage, touch
ing the practical problems they must
face.
3. A Bible class for young married
couples-with added feature of a
social gathering once month.
4. Special courses for Young par.
ents to train them for me-making
and rearing children.,f .,As sqx - =
AS a corollary to the program,
the church maintains a nursery
containing modern equipment and
supervised by graduate nurses
where mothers can leave their chill
dren while they attend the Bible
classes, church services and train
ing conferences.
Other young members of the con-
gregation cooperate in the pro-
gram by providing transportation
for young married couples. The
church also maintains a library
which contains many books dealing
with these problems.
Il can get more ideas across In
these courses than in a sermon
from the pulpit" DR.. Bowman said.
Denies Expert" Needed.
One of the seminar participants,
calling DR.. Bowman an expert" on
Christian family life relations,
asked why other churches didn't
have such programs.
I'm sure I don't qualify as an
expert" DR.. Bowman said, with
smile. Every church can have such
a program If they really want it.
You don't need experts"
He emphasized, however, that the
real training must be given in the
home.
Figure it this way" he said.
From the time by is born until
he is 21, he has approximately
105 900 waking hours to spend. II
he goes to church school every Sun
day, that will take up about 2,100
hours. If he is in school every day,
that's another 10000 hours.
That leaves approximately $4,000
hours when he isn't in church or
school. Now, isn't 1t obvious where
most Of the training must take
