I. ". Hurley Addresses
Christian Scientists

Christian Science not only
teaches but conclusively proves that
peace and harmony are primarily
mental, that is, spiritually mental"
said Thomas w. Hurley, C. S. B., of
Louisville, KY, in a lecture on
Christian Science, The. Way to
True Peace" last night at the First
Church Of Christ, Scientist.
I'm our search for true peace"
Mr.. Hurley stated, ''it is highly i'm
portant that we gain a clear con-
cept Of what constitutes the true
peacemaker" and that Christian
Science does not teach its followers
that the true peacemaker Is a paci-
fist or an appeaser.
THE real peacemaker removes or
destroys the discords or evils that
claim to disturb the peace, such as
greed, hatred, mad ambition, lust
for power, human domination, re-
sentiment, revenge and the like.
The claims of these phases of error
to presence in individual human
consciousness are destroyed only by
the Christ, Truth, as we have seen;
hence the Christ is the true peace
maker-the Prince of Peace As
ones consciousness becomes flooded
with this Christ, Truth, these false
beliefs and their attendant discords
are wiped out of consciousness and
true peace is established in ones
experience"

Gen. Andrus, Home on Leave, Tells How Men
OF 7st Division Endured Cold in BuIqe Battle
Frostbite FoiIed to
Stop Troops Tokine
Key Attack Point

Here's the kind of thing the men
OF the 1st Division did that illus
trates the kind OF fighting men our
American men are" Maj. Gen. Cliff
r. Andrus, commander of the 1st
Division, lst Army, said today at his
home, at 1921 Kalorama road NV.
Gen. Andrus arrived here yester-
day on furlough after spending the
time since he returned from Europe
last Thursday travelling with Gen.
George 8. Patton, jr., from Boston
to Denver and Los Angeles.
I'VE had taken hill at a crucial
time in the break-through. The
Boche was set to hit us from the
west. We sent battalion around
to hit him from the east. The bat
talon started out in a blizzard with
the temperature 8 degrees above
zero. Snowbanks to 8 feet deep
were all around. The men were sub
jected at all times to concentrated
artillery, mortar and small arms fire.
"The key battalion kept maneu-
vering around for five days. There
wasn't any shelter. The men could
not light fire. The ground was so
hard 1t was impossible to dig fox
holes. The men were wet and cold,
yet they kept plugging ahead, al
ways ahead. We later found many
cases of frostbite. but that didn't
stop the men. When they hit the
enemy from the east, the surprise
enabled us to take that badly need
ed hill"
The general said his greatest
thrill was arriving at the Boston
airport and seeing his wife, Mrs.
Marion Andrus, and his daughter,
12-year-old Marion Andrus. TT was
three years since ! last saw them, "
he said.
Gen. Andrus answered almost
every question with something

|WarfieId Doubts Law
Banning |nfIammab|e
Textiles Is Feasible

Doubts concerning the feasibility
Of any District regulation banning
the sale of inflammable textiles were
expressed yesterday by Deputy Fire
Marshal r. A. Warfield, who said
that such a regulation would be al
most impossible to enforce.
The question arose after a number
Of children had been burned in the
Washington area by 4 certain type
of cowboy suit. The corporation
counsel's Office submitted an opinion
to Capt. Warfield's Office stating the
District had the power to promul-
gate safety regulations regarding
the sale of goods.
If such regulations were adopted,
it was pointed out, the city would
have to set up It's own testing bu-
reau, the burden OF examination
would be expensive and the task
would be too great for present per-
sonnel. They would also require
visits to retail and wholesale stores
for inspections.
Capt. Warfield said such regula-
ton had proven unsuccessful in
California, and thought a better
plan was District support Of pend
ing legislation to ban highly infiam-
mable goods from interstate COM
merce. New York chemists are re-
ported to be developing . testing
machine which will be demonstrated
at House hearings on the bill. Al
present, he said there was no ap-
proved method Of testing infiam-
inability Of textiles.
Capt. Warfield said he believed
the bill to ban such goods from in.
terstate commerce would halt thu
problem at its source.
