WARM WEATHER BRINGS DROP IN CHURCHJROWD Autos, Heat and Vacations Blamed for Decrease by Pastors. Mr. and Mrs. Indianapolis will attend church this summer, and maybe Miss Indianapolis will go to, but Master Indianapolis—or at least one member of the four who compose that mythical family—will fail to be present during the summer months, a survey conducted by The Times discloses. Ministers of all denominations estimated the summer attendance for this year will be from 20 to 50 per cent below that for the winter. Vacation trips, country homes, the heat and substitute pastors are among the factors contributing to the decrease. One pastor declared that summer attendance would be hindered by daylight time, but others did not consider this factor important. One very noticeable feature of nearly all vacation programs lay in the elimination of the Sunday afternoon and evening services. * Union Services Planned Irvington churchgoers will be afforded an opportunity to attend union services on summer Sundays, according to the Rev. B. R. Johnson, pastor of the Downey Ave. Christian Church. The meetings will be held at the Downey Ave. and the Irvington M. E. Church, the Rev. J. B. Rosemurgy, pastor. A special drive for children for vacation Sunday School classes is also being made at the Downey Ave. Church during the first three weeks in June. Dr. Lewis Brown, pastor of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, emphasized the importance of the automobile in lessening summer church attends ance. “With us the drop actually begins, not with the hot summer weather, but at the first fine day. The slump up until I take my vacation, in mid-summer, will sun from 15 to 20 per cent. Slump In Hot Weather "During the very hottest season, with a substitute pastor in charge, the drop is much greater,” Dr. Brown declared. Rev. Frank L. Roberts, pastor of the Central Avenue M. E. Church, said that a special series of sermons now being given on modern questions was holding the attendance up. The slump there probably will be greatest during July and August, he declared, but not more than 25 per cent of the winter total. Generally speaking, downtown churches are the heaviest sufferers from the hot weather slump, leaders said. Asks Bullet-Proof Vest Du Time* Special FT.

EUGENIST FINDS WAY TO TREAT INSANITYJASES Claims California Tests by Sterilization Will Guard Race. BY MAX STERN __ PASADENA, Cal., June B.—California is leading all other States ip “practical eugenics.” Studies conducted by Dr. Paul Popanoe, eugenist and financed by E. S. Gosney, local capitalist, reveal that since California passed its sterilization law in 1909, a total of 5,820 young men and women in the State’s six insane hospitals and one feeble-minded institution have been unsexed. This is four times as many as in the entire remainder of the United States. About one in' every twelve entrants into the State’s six insane asylums have been sterilized. Just 1,000 have undergone the same operation in the Sonoma State

Home for Feeble-Minded. The average majority are out on parole, their menace to posterity removed. The average age of the Sonoma ■patients operated on was between fifteen and twenty-five. The average age of insane patierJs was thirty-five for men and thirty for women. The unsexing process is supposed to accomplish two ends. One is

Under the latter head come cases of temporary insanity that follow child-birth cured by the method. It is also supposed to be of beneficial effect in cases of dementia precox. Popanoe says he has found that “sterilization, as practiced in Cali-

fornia, will prevent few, if any, births of superior children, but it will prevent the birth of many children certain to be inferior.” “Sterilization is ons 9I the few forms of philanthropy that tends
