Moose To Celebrate Lodge Championship Preliminary plans for an official presentation of the national Moose softball championship trophy and a gala celebration in conjunction with the observance is underway here. Officials of Adams lodge 1311, whose softball team won the coveted title at Fort Wayne recently, said that the event will likely be staged on October 15. The affair will open with a street parade in the evening, in which fraternal organization and sorority members will be asked to participate. The parade will be followed by a program and the presentation ceremony at the Moose lodge at Jackson and First streets. Because of the large crowd anticipated, lodge officials said that the event will likely be staged outdoors. A luncheon is planned after the ceremonies are completed. Details of the event are expected to be announced by Moose officials within the next few days, it was stated. 0 Transplanting Eyes May Not Be Far Off Transplanting eyes in hufnan beings may not be too far away, according to Dr. Ben Duke, who witnessed several experiments of that nature by Dr. L. W. Stone, Yale University profressor, who is using salamanders at the present time in his work. Dr. and Mrs. Duke have returned from a motor trip through the east. Dr. Duke spent a day at the New Haven, Conn., college and visited the noted eye surgeon who has spent the last several months in the study of the possibility of transplanting eyes. Dr. Duke stated that while the experiments still were in a very embryonic stage, Dr. Stone believes that some day it will be possible to transfer eyes of humans. He has made several experiments during the last few months, using salamanders and transfering eyes of one mammal to another. He told the local doctor that so far his work had been more successful than he had ever contemplated. ———_— o Rev.

The bearded Indian statesman solemnly warned the great pow ers against “false notions of racial superiority, the desire of economic exploitation of the weak by the strong, and intolerance of ideas that were not in accord with those that one nation preferred for itself and desired to mpose upon others.” He did not say that the great powers in one "orm or another were practicing ’hose evils but he reminded them ’hat in the past armed conflict had resulted from such policies. Alberto Lleras Camargo, dlrec’or of the Pan American Union appealed to the United Nations today to halt the trend toward World War 111, warning that such a holocaust would subject all men to the “intolerant, oppressive” domination of only one ’fate. “The choice is between a world government by all states, or an bominable world government by a single nation, after it has sup pressed all opposition.* Lleras Camargo warned. “After the first world war many vigorous powers emerged. Afte r he second, only two —the others lost ground or struggled against severe depression. “After a third, only one can prevail.
