HOLDS CHURCH ! HAS NO PLACE FOR ‘PIKERS’i Revolution in Righteousness Predicted as State Pastors End Conference. Christianity has no place for a “piker,” declared Dr. L. D. YvUng, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Lincoln, Neb., yesterday at the closing session ,x>£ the Indiana pastors’ conference of the Interchurch World Movement held in Tomlinson hall. “Churches must function as big business, must do Mg business, or go out of business, but the church was founded twenty centuries ago by Christ and will never go out of business,” asserted Dr. Young. “TheVe is no place for peanut peddling or selling of small wares in the kingdom of God," he said, “for life looms ever large on the horizon, and the spiritual ream rces challenge us always. For the church to fail we might as well try to rut out the sun with a garden hose, or try to dip the ocean dry with a tineup.; We are going to experience a revolution in righteousness.” GIVES REASONS FOR MOVEMENT. Dr. Young believed in the interoburche world movement, he said, because it was a big movement; because It had a wonderful, functioning approach; because it was a great opportunity started at the psychological time after a world of destructiveness and was a program of constructiveness, and because it was fostered by the greatest three spiritual leaders of ages, John R. Mott. Robert E. Speer and Sherwood Eddy. “We said during the great world war for Christian ideals that we would give the last drop of blood If necessary, the last man, the last dollar, and now. <n this greatest of all fights for the kingdom of Goji, can we do less?” asked the' speaker. Dr. W. E. Doughty presided at the afternoon meeting. Bishop Thomas S. Nicholson, head of the Northern Methodist conference, who j presided at a meeting of Methodists at Roberts Park church, declared that the Inter-Church World Movement was one of the greatest events in the Christian era. Interest of Hoosier Methodism In the Inter-Church World Movement was evidenced by the discussion of the benefits of the movement. Rev. F, I. Johnson, Columbus. 0.. secretary of the Cincinnati area. Methodist church north, who spoke at the Roberts park meeting, insisted that every Methodist devote his unselfish, unstinted attention to the advancomept of the movement. “We've got to pnt our very sotils into the work of the Lord, give up ourselves, lend even ourselves unto agony, if need lx?, to further the work of the Master," I he said In behalf of the movement. Rev. John G. Benson, New York City, educational secretary of the Centenary Movement, who supported wholeheartedly j the Interchurch Movement, explained the part toat the Centenary work of the ?Jethodist church would play In the lnterchurch cause. Denominational meetings were scheduled at the following places: Meridian Street M. E., Zion's Evangelical. Evangelical association. First Fnltod Brethren. Second Presbyterian church. First Baptist church. Central Christian church. Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.

Chadhourne of Boston, financial director of the more ment; Dr. Rines, Frank Resler. financial director of Indiana, and Anson T. Wong, assistant headmaster of the Methodist College in Shanghai.

Toups and Wigs Newest Rage Here; Blame It on Flu Wigs and toupees are “all the go” in Indianapolis. So if the pretty brunette across the way flits in some morning sporting a mantle of red hair don't be surprised. Then, too, if . our hald headed milkman should suddenly break forth with his cranial region snugly covered wfith a lair of silken foliagie don’t be surprised, either. Yes, it’s true, there has been an increase of from 70 to 100 per cent in the demand for wigs and toupees. The popularity o£ artificial hair may he due to style, but on the other hand some of our beauty shops claim Influenza has caused much baldness.. At Kinzly’s hair store it is reported there had \>een a tremendous Increase In the number of wigs and toupees sold. Women particularly are taking to wigs, this store reports. Blame it on the “flu," one clerk said. Della E. Carroll of Carroll’s Beauty Parlor, says: “Maybe they don’t want to grow old.” “Fever attendant to Influenza has caused many men and women to lose their hair,” Miss Carroll said. “Os course most of the present demand Is due to those who suffered from the malady a year ago. Not all cases of the disease caused hair to fall out, but a good average of those stricken have had that embarrassing experience." Miss Carroll claims thnt any severe fever is apt to permanently injure the hair. Nervousness and poor blood circulation is another contributing element, she asserts.

WANTS PAY FOR WASTED POWER Muncie Company Asks Higher Rate on Excess Dynamos. Changes beneficial to the public will result from a new’ basis of charge for electric power, sought In the petition of the Indiana General Service Company of Muncie for anew rate schedule, if the petition is favorably considered by the Indiana public service commission, experts said yesterday. The proposed change would affect manufacturers using power, who maintain dynamo equipment greater than Is necessary for the operation of their plants. Loss of power through “wattless energy” would be charged against the consumers responsible for such losses, through the use of a newly invented meter, which records energy wasted as well as energy used. T’ndpr the system of meter toll in use at present consumers are charged only for electricity actually used. ’Many maun faeturers use transforming plants of greater capacity ttyin is needed In order that they may be prepared for expansion of their needs. That practice results in much voltage being dissipated by not being transformed into watts. The cost of such losses of power is eventually charged against ail consumers, since rates are based on the total cost of operation of the power producing plant. The Indiana General Service Company is the first company In the state to seek such a schedule of rates, but It Is expected other companies will take such action later.

CHINA SEES GOOD FUTURE New Spirit in Country Since Great War. BOSTON. Mass., March 4.—“ The commercial currents of the world arp sweeping China since the war," said James H. Lewis of New York. speAking at the College pf Secretarial Science of Boston university in the interests of the proposed establishment of a chair of business administration in the University of Nanking, China. “During the last year fifty American companies were incorporated in Shanghai alone, which are to handle international business. France and England are developing the trade again that was left mainly in the hands of Japan during the war. AH nations are centering their ambitions on the heart of China Nanking. “As the result of the 150,000 Chinese coolies who went to France to help in the fight for democracy, anew intellectual spirit Is abroad in China. America, through the Peking university, which was built from the indemnity fund which was returned to China after the Boxer rebellion, awakened this spirit. Now the contact of China with the rest, of the world during the war intensified the desire for intellectual progress. “Two thousand Chinese students are In France today as a direct result of the war, and inside of three years, 10,000 Chinese yearly will he sent to France to study. America must have a hand in this awakening.” •

MOURNS LACK OF DEATH PENALTY Judge Makes Up by Giving Brutal Bandits 52 Years. NEW YORK, March 4.—Expressing regret that, he could not Impose the death | penalty. Judge John F.

Charges Mail Loaded With Red Propaganda "There are 2.500,000 pieces of radical literature In the mails right now,” said Capt. E. H. Lougber of the department of Justice, Washington, D. C., addressing members of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board at their luncheon yesterday.

CLOTHING DROP LONG WAY OFF Not a Chance This Year, Retailers Here Told. _ Clothing prices will not drop materially during the next year, although dealers would like lo see a decrease, according to Charles E. Wry of Chicago, secretary of the National Association of Retail Clothiers’ association, addressing the state convention yesterday. He bases his conclusions on a recent nation-wide survey conducted by the national association. Officers were choser. as follows: Willis Johnson, Seymour, A. R. Seewald, Terre Haute, first, vice president; Carl Steel, Huntington, second vice | president; Albert W. Levi, Indianapolis, secretary-treasurer, and the following directors; L. V. Meyer, Flora; P. M. Polk, Newcastle; 1,. It Bing, Anderson; i Eli Sphloss, Indianapolis, and Max Adler, Indianapolis. was re-elected as national director. “And furthermore.” Mr. Wry added, “they never will be back to where they ! were before the war. Conditions have ! changed. Labor cost .to manufacturers 1 has increased more than 200 per cent since 1913. Materials of every descrlp--1 tion are higher!" Selling costs and every i Item that enters into the final cost of | clothes to the consumer has been advanced, except the dealers’ profits.” Mr. Wry said that nobody would welcome a cut Ur'tfce cost of wearing apparel for men more than the dealers themselves, but that in the face of abnormal costs he did not see how it Is possible for a drop to materialize this year. “I do believe,” Mr. Wry explained, “that eventually we will get back to a level of prices lower than the ones now ruling. I do not mean prewar prices, but from the chaotic conditions grovlug out of the sudden termination of the war, will come a better understanding between laborer, manufacturer, dealer and customer thnt can only mean every one realizing the other fellow’s position and working toward a closer harmony and unity of purpose.- Until we got peak production, which we have not now, there can be no decline In the cost of clothes. This Is the belief of heads of the national association, as much as I regret ,to admit, arrived at after exhaustive and careful research and study.” The price of collars came up for consideration before the convention In open discussion. Manufacturers, It appears, have raised the price of collars to $2.40 a dozen, or 20 cents each. Whether to continue to sell collars at 25 <ents each or to charge 30 cents was the question. It was filially agreed by a large majority of the dealers present thnt, irrespective of the manufacturera’ price, collars would continue to be retailed at 25 cents each. Secretary A. W. Levi <alled attention to the remarkable growth of the ,so elution. From a mujens of sixty members in 191$, the year of Its birth, the association has expanded until now It numbers 256 members and a goal of 400 set by its officers, which. Mr. lev! predicted, would be reached this year. There has not been a single mcm’ie- withdrawn after once Joining the association. The convention closed yesterday afternoon with a meeting of the officers and directors. A banquet was given Tuesday night by the Men’s Apparel club.

SMALL BOOST SEEN FOR ICE Wyckoff Says Costs Shouldn’t Increase Price Materially. "If there Is any Increase in the price of ice during the coming summer in Indianapolis, it probably will not be more than 2Vi cents per hundred pounds wholesale, or 5 cents a hundred pounds retail.” said Stanley Wyckoff. fair price commissioner, yesterday. Ice men. Mr. Wyckoff said, had asked him as fair price commissioner to consider dnta submitted by them on increases In the cost of ammonia, coal, labor and some other items. Mr. Wvekoff has recommended thst the Ice companies of the city follow the zoning system which was planned by him and followed last year, by which the territory of the city is divided between the ice companies. Better service than last year for outlying districts, such as the territory between Thirty-eighth street and Broad Rippie and north of Irvington, must be given if the zoning system is followed, tile fnir price commissioner added. “Figures I have from other cities show that the pri<e of ice in Indianapolis is much lower than in most cities of this size." said Mr. Wyckoff. V There has been an increase in the eost of ammonia, coal and in the labor cost of mechanical engineers and others, according to Mr. Wyckoff. He has not finished his probe of the increase, but his examination thus far has convinced him that a large increase in the prb’e of ice wiU not be necessary to cover the cost, be said. The zoning system, he declared, was a real saving for consumers. *TATF. DEALERS VI LET TOMORROW. Ice m p u of the state are meet.ns here today. President W. K.
