SAMOAN ISLAND CHURCHES DRAW RIG ATTENDANCE Practically All of Natives Are Devout Members of Some Faith. Th i* the third article* of a series American Samoa. m RF.I'EL S. MOORE i nlted Tress Staff Correspondent FAGO PAGO, Tutuila, American Bamoa, Nov. 5. Samoa is a land of churches. The 1930 census showed a population of 9,866 persons outside of a small naval personnel in American Samoa, while the official report of Chaplain F. E. Noyer, United States navy compiled from the records of various church organizations, lists a claimed memoership of 10,290. The chaplain only could account for the discrepancy in figures by pointing out that some of tne membership listed represented persons who since have gone to British Samoa, and also duplicate memberships. Islanders Christians -Just 100 years ago the London Missionary Society sent its first missionary to the Samoan islands. Since that time the people have become devout Christians. Each village has its church, while pome have two or three. The numerical strength of the /various churches is as follows: London Missionary Society ' Congregational Church of American Samoa). 8,255 members, sixty clergy, fill natives, Wesleyan 'Methodist). 380 members, eight clergy, all natives. Latter Day Saints, 450 members, /three white elders, two of whom are psisted by their wives. Churches Self-Supporting Roman Catholics, 1,205 members, two priests, four brothers, seven listers and thirteen native pastors. Th# latter, contrary to the practice elsewhere in the Roman Catholic church, are permitted to marry. The number of churches in American Samoa is approximately 1,000. with an average membership of around 100. In 1928 all churches produced *806.36 for missionary causes, of contributions for missionary work in other lands. The churches of American Samoa are self-support-ing. in almost every village the church is the finest structure, and in many stands out in striking contrast to a background of grass houses as the only building of what might be called European or American construction.

‘DARE’ IS FLUNG AT DEMOCRATS BY JIM WATSON ‘Let’s See Them Make Good on Tariff and Farm Aid/ Says Senator. ‘lf the Democrats have won a majority of the house seats. I hope that they have won control of the senate,” declared United *States Senator James E. Watson, senate majority leader, today, as he studied election returns showing a Democratic landslide. “That is my wish, so that the Democrats will be able to carry out ; their platform pledges,” the senior Indiana senator declared. “I expect them, if they have control. to begin an immediate revision downward of the tariff and to modify the farm relief measures. “They have said during the campaign that they would, and if they ! do not they are recreant to the trust imposed in them and v.-ill stultify themselves in their own soirts.” Watson declared that the Democratic landslide was a natural result of general distress and popular unrest. “It is not a personal repudiation of President Herbert Hoover, but is merely a reflex action that has followed the sweeping Republican victory of 1928.” The Republican leader asserted “in 1922, following the Harding majority of 5,000.000, the backwash set in and the G. O. P. virtually lost control of the senate. “In 1926. the same thing occurred, following the 6.000,000 majority for Coolidge in 1924 and we lost overj whelmingly in the house and the 1 senate until we had no majority in the latter bedv. “I do not believe the President 1 was involved at all, for the same thing occurred in the Wilson and Cleveland terms. I “In .every time of general distress and popular unrest the people turn against whatever party is in power.”

CUTS SILK HOSE BILLS IN TWO A New York fashion expert lias just made a wonderful discovery. Realizing the expense of constantly buying silkhose and lingerie, she learned that with perspiration comes an oily excretion from the sebaceous glands that causes silks to rot", Soap and water she found were inadequate. Only a solvent like Energine cuts this film of oil. So when next washing silk hose or dainty undergarments, add a tablespoonful ot Energine to a quart of lukewarm, soapy water. Wash thor-oughly—-rinse well. Jsote the new fresh cleanliness—see how- the original color is revived so easily and with less rubbing. After using this new method, you'll be amazed at the difference in results from washing in just soap and water. And when you see how -many more week's wear you get from silk hose, you'll be more than delighted—it's real economy. Energine is unexcelled also for quickly removing all dirt and grease spots from dresses, hats, shoes, gloves, ties. Large can 35c. —Advertisement.
