[LEGION TO LOOK INTO LATEST BILL Executive Committee Meets Today in Washington. May IS.—The executive committee of the American legion meets here today to consider provisions of the latest bonus bill prepared by the republican members of the ways and ■eans committee for relief of former service men. Congressional leaders are waiting for the verdict of the lesion's executive committee. The action of this committee depends in large measure whether congressmen who have been most Insistent in demands for soldier relief legislation are to continue pressure for immediate action. Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee will lay his latest bill before the committee at the meeting tomorrow. Whether the legion will be strong enough politically t force changes in the bill, especially with respect to cash payments, wjll be tested then. L CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTIBF, BY JOHN W. POORLY. The second installment of the lecture on Christian Science by John W. Doorly, • S, 8., member of the board of lectureship of the mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, is given today. (Continued from yesterday.) So also Christian Science, reasoning from the basis of a perfect God, or Mind, and a perfect creacon. or existence, wholly good and wholly mental, or spiritual, declares that mortal existence is no more real from the* divine standpoint than is the dream we entertain at night, although this existence seems real to mortals even as the dream does to the dreamer. Christian Science teaches that this suppositional existence, mortality, is only the false sense that there is an* opposite to infinite Spirit, or Mind. This false sense is what the Scriptures describe as the carnal mind and what Jesus described as "a liar, and the father of it,” This liar, or lying sense, the carnal mind, declares that finite matter, the opposite of infinite Spirit, has life, substance, and intelligence, when the fact Is that infinite Spirit is the only Life, substance, or intelligence. Wheu. however, it is seen that the *bole of material existence, or the flesh; '.6 only a false belief in a suppositional creator, the carnal mind, or evil, and a supposed creation, cal ed mortality, or is in fact a lie, then we begin to comprehend clearly how the truth about God and His creation, being present and therefore ominpotent and •pirating witl infinite intelligence, can destroy such a lie. or false mental condition. as mortalitv. SALVATION DIVINELY MENTAL. In fact Christian Science teaches that salvation is divinely and scientifically mentrl and saves from the carnal mind, or from mortality, and since God is divine Mind and is infinite canse. thia must necessarily be so. This salvation is as fixed and sure as God Himself, as exact, s:mple and scientific as the mathematical table, and yet as deeply spiritual and as exalted as God's eternal law must ever be. To obtain such salvation can one perbelieve that sin. disease, and death are real and that matter or mortality is substance, and then hope to be free from mortality and its pain?* He can not! He must remember every Liinute of his existence that happiness, health, harmony, all that is worth having, is of God, and is therefore spiritual, or divinely mental, and can only be obtained through a right mental condition, or through spiritual understanding.

This consciousness of true being would Inevitably free the mortal from every discordant material condition, or from e'ery false mental condition, :>nd slowly hut surely the mortal who adopts this habit of acquainting him---if w ffs r,,* on all occasions will find hiutself 41vlcft. moving, end having his being iu •iod, or abiding in the one Mind which is Life, Truth, and Love. Sin, disease, and death, poverty and disaster, hav-. no place in this Minn. In fact, he comes out of the carnal mind, or mortality, with all its delusive pains and pleasures into the freedom and harmony o's the divine Mind with its eternal joys, and be does this simply and naturally through spiritual understanding, or through a right mental condition. SALVATION AS T.WGHT 111 SCRIPTIRES. The Scriptures are a progressive reVord of how the Truth, or the spiritual fact about God and about existence, was to men who refused to accept or!fe testimony of their physical senses as reliable, but persistently relied on their spiritual understanding of God and of existence, or to men who thought divinely and not humanly. These revelations culminated In the experiences of Christ Jesus ind his fol lowers, who were so clearly conscious of the divine facts of being that they proved every material, or mortal, condition to be wholly an illusion of the physical senses, having neither realitv nor power. In our consideration of certain facts of the Bible, to substantiate the teachings of Christian Science, it would be well for us to comprehend clearly what the Bible is. for there has undoubteliy been more superstition and ignorance connected with the study of the Bible than of any other book in the world. Christian Scientists regard the Bible as invaluable to a correct understanding of God and of salvation, and In fact the first tenet of the Christian Science church states that “as adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life” (Science and Health, p. 407). We recognize, however, that the Bible Is an Eastern book written in Eastern manner with multitudes of parables and a great deal of symbolism and metaphor, through which the Easterner always •spoke. The Bible records how certain men. belonging to the Hebrew race more especially, became conscious of the eternal and unalterable facts about Goff and about existence. These progressive views of God are intermingled with the historical record of the Hebrew race, in which not only is the correct nature of God recorded, but in which the idolatrous tendencies and constant falling away from God by the people of these periods are also related. Christian Scientists in no wav accept any such superstition as that every wod in the Bible was specifically commanded by God. but they recognize that the Bible does record the truth about God and about existence as this truth was revealed to various men in various ages. PROGRESSIVE REVELATION. In the first chapter of Genesis the Record begins of the truth about God and about existence, as it was revealed to some spiritually minded man. The first chapter of Genesis is usually erroneously supposed to relate how God created the material heaven and earth, but upon closer examination it will be found that this first chapter of Genesis and the first five verses of the second chapter relate how the eternal facts of being, which never began and conld never end. were revealed to some spiritually minded man by seven progressively clearer views which he described as seven days. This record is followed by a second and different account of creation, beginning at the sixth verse of the second chapter of Genesis in which the Lord God, not God as is declared in the first record, but the Jewish tribal Jehovah. the Lord God. is supposed to have created nan from the dust of the ground and to have breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. This second account of creation is preceded by the statement that “there went up a mist from the earth, aud watered the whole face of the ground” (Gen. 2:6). Christian Science declares that this mist is the mist of ignorant human belief, or of the carnal mind, in which mist, or mvsJjf cat ton. God Is always misunderstood rfr.d regarded mysteriously and His creation, o.' spiritual being) is erroneously supposed to be mortal, material, and Unite. The book of Genesis also records the constant degeneration of this material race of men. or this Adam man. who was the result of the mist of mortal 1 sense. This Adam race, in the person of Cain, eventually l>ecame the murderer of his fellow man. It is related, however, that Enoch walked with God, or dwelt in the understanding of the one Mind, , that Mind which is Spirit, aurt “hejvas not. (Ges.

But still the evil beliefs of mortals, or their evil thinking, increased until the** beliefs in evil eventually floored mortals or brought drstruction upon them. Noah, who was a just and upright man, had perceived something of the true nature of God as Spirit, or Mind, and the inevitable self-destruction of evil, and this spiritual understanding impelled him to prepare an ark for the salvation of himself and his improved sense of existence from this flood beliefs. The ark into which Noah entered was really the correct understanding of God, the only j place .of safety for anyone. and the i-reation which he took in with him was his own exalted sense of spiritual reality. ABRAHAM SOI’CHT ATMOSPHERE OF TRUTH. Later the Scriptures record the apj pearing to Abrbama. who dwelt in Ur of the Chaldees, of the truth about God , and about existence, and this vision itn- : pelled Abraham to come out of the raa- : terial and idolatrous tendencies of the ; Chaldees and to seek a less materia! atmosphere in which his understanding of Truth could be developed. Indeed. Ahrai ham became so certain of the continuity and Indestructibility of true existence that he realized that if even the material Isaac, his most valued mortal possession, were sacrificed, that his understanding of the spiritual man, which had brought forth Isaac, would persist eternally and woftla serpetuate itself in human expej rience so the salvation of makind. The truth of spiritual being was Jtiil I further developed through .Ta'oV>. who under Rebecca's instructions had perceived that the birthright to spiritual things was of more value than any raa--1 terial possession. In spite of the trib- ! ulations he encountered, as a result of seeking a spiritual blessing through questionable means, Jacob's sense of roe leality of spiritual being stil! grew, until he at length wrestled with and over- . came the belief in the mortal. He then : realized bis eternal heritage, or true be- : tng, as Israel, or a Prince of God. Indeed, Jacob perceived that the same spiritual fact about God and about man, or the truth, which had begun to develop itself ! through Enoch, through Noah, through i Abraham, and then through his own en- ! lightened sense, would eventually mnn- ' ifest itself in a yet clearer way “1111111 L Shiloh come" (Gen. 4!>-10, and that from hU seed or from his appreciation of the truth there would arise the Messiah, or Christ.

DANCER TRIUMPHS OVER JAZZ Melody at Lyric—Britt at Broadway—Girls at Park

Ivan Bankoff, a Russian dancer, is r splendid reason why the jazz shouldershaking dance will never outlive the classic dance. The other night a crowded house forgot that Jazz existed 'and applauded every whirl, twirl, spin and leap of this Russian dancer and his capable dancing partner. When a vaudeville audience will applaud a high kick or a series of spins it's about time that all the jgzz steppers look to their honors. That is just what the audiences are doing at Keith's tills week, where Bankoff is dominating a bill which has no announced headliner. As far as the writer is concerned Bankoff and his partner, an excellent woman dancer, is one of those Joys of rent dancing expressions of which we have so little. *lt is a pleasure to note that when a real dancer comes to town Indianapolis folk will take their hands out of their muffs and encore, time and time again. Bankoff's act is labeled “The Dancing Master,” and it is the finest of fine dancing of the school this artisj represents. The rest of the big bill is summed up as follows as it appealed to the writer: Arthur Sullivan and Ricca Scott—They appear In a little sketch called “A Drawing From Lifts" in which there is some droll and amusing conversation about a fellow ,vho. is supported by his wife; well done. Lou Reed and A1 Tucker—Violinists who do trick stuff, hold up the bill while the customers applaud for more. Grace- DeMar—She has some amusing impressions of people of whom we all know: clever work. Aleen Bronson—She appears in an up-to-the-minute schoolroom, act callec* “Late Again.” Francis Renault-lie is a man who wears some expensive women's clothes of niffy design; he is liked. Warren and May—They come on the stage each wearing one shoe and carrying one: cliver act which is out of the ordinary tun of things. BANKOFF This is a picture of Ivaa Bankoff, a Russian dancer, who can teach other socalled classical dancers a whole lot of things, especially the art of making classic dancing of greater appeal than the shoulder-shaking jazz dances. Bankoff has a splendid stage appearance and is getting a splendid reception at Keith's this week.

Fred liarkin’s Melody Monarchs start the whirlwind of musical madness. These four songsters have a series of songs that make a bit A quartet is always appreciated, and this one certainly gets the applause. Then there is a trio that rivals the Melody Monarchs. it is cnlled the Superlative Trio, and is composed of two men’and a woman, who have some harmonious selections. Songs and dances have a large part in “Let's Get Married,” which is a farce comedy. The four members of the cast have a selection of songs that help out the plot of the play. Lee and Lawrence are two comedians who are able to laugh a lot in putting over their act. Coleman and Ray are singers and ventriloquists who have the conventional dummy. Darby and Brown have a juvenile act with mirth and dancing, and Norman and Jeannette provide quite a lot. of entertainment. The film shown is ‘School Days,” with Larry Seruon.

first act of the show yesterday afternoon and there is every indication he is able to hold the stage as long as he desires to play. This show appears to have more speed and pep than several shows which have preeeeded it and the principals appear to have some real work to do instead of walking on and off the stage. The first set is a neat departure from the regular stuff used and some attention has been paid to a definite color scheme. The chorus works well; the principals have some original stunts and the singlug is above the average. At the Park all week. -I- -1- -I- ---■ RIALTO.

Imga is billed as the woman with the X-ray eyes and she has a clever act in answering questions written on cards by members of the audience. She lands many a laugh and appears to mystify her audience as to how she does the stunt. Other acts complete the bill. -I- *1- -ITHE MOVIES.

They also decided that they would send a petition to each of the 100 members of- the transfer association requesting that each obtain the protesting signature of fifteen citizens and business men of the city to these petitioons. The signatures will be a protest against the failure to open Erie street.

“Business men and the transfer men in general who had handled this situation,'’ said W. S. Frye, president of the association, “are thoroughly convinced that the railroads and city administration acted in good faith when they instructed the board of works to provide plans for the. opening of Erie street, and no one had any reason to believe that Erie street would not be opened. “When, later, and apparently in secret, they approached the board of works and induced them to rescind their action, without giving the public an opportunity of expressing itself, the business men and the transfer men naturally were convinced that there was bad faith some place.” FOREST FIRES BREAK OUT.
