CO-OPERATION OF ALL FAITHS SPUR CHURCH Intensive Evangelistic Campaigns Outlined for Year. (Continued From Page One) into churrh lif#* of the city. ASI leaders admit that. The personally of the minister, his understanding of the significance of this marching cavalcade, his acceptance of the new deal ;n national government, the great meaning of the overthrow of child labor, a program for curing poverty and nonemployment—all of these have played and are playing a great part on this • cure" of worried people, i whether spiritually, physically or economically. Momentum to Increase Os course, some times the factor that the preacher "is not liked" by hts congregation—that Dr. Evans admits but he contends that "aver- 1 age conditions will measure up" In the various church districts of the Protestant church. The church has had a program Calls for co-operation signed by national leaders m the Protestant. Catholic and Jewish churches is in the hands of Dr. Evans for im mediate action. The cavalcade will increase its streneth as jieople become happier after the illness wears off So anew program, a greater cooperation between all faiths, will cement into perfection the new religious and social deal. "Is the Protestant church membership growing’" I asked Dr. Evans. "Five to 7 per cent yearly, *' he told me. Common Sense Foundation To mept this increased interest Dr. Evans has called upon pastors of the association to conduct intensive evangelistic campaigns this years, "bearing in mind the particular needs of their communities.” The church federation has divided the ritv into sixteen districts. Programs have been arranged for mass activities of these churches regardless of what creed. Methodist. Presbyterian. Disciples of Christ. Baptist and all the others are marching together for the greatest community benefit These programs are concerned with wages, poverty, charity and the like in every community. Dr. Evans struck an essential kevnote of the entire proposition when he told me that "as a whole you will find churrh life controlled with a whole lot of rommon sense." Deeper Note Is Heard The understanding of this common sense and deeper note" in church activities is voiced by Dr John G. Benson, a Methodist pastor in Terre Haute. New York, Detroit and other cities for thirty-three years and at present superintendent of the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis. On Sunday Dr Benson is preaching from a Presbyterian church in this ritv. and he has preached in churches of about every denomination in the city. He told me that he has noticed increased interest and attendance in all denominations although admitting ihat there "are too many churches, we have an increase attendance in all Methodist churches." He pointed out t lie very large gains in the new North M. E. church on North Meridian street. Dr. Benson has found that people are interested in the sermons of the pastor when he has something definite to say. anew joy to give, a sound social problem to discuss and the pointing out of "the possibilities of human life.' ’ Challenge in Program Ministers have learned the lesson of not trying to paint the bad things of life in too attractive form. Dr Benson told me that he learned that lesson years ago and made a resolution. That resolution and his great knowledge of the social trend has caused him to recognize that the dominating thing in church attendance today is “the service note ." He rontends that youth today is lookim for a “challenging program of service more than to preaching or anvthtng else." Social work Is offering a great adventure today. He sees that it isn't so much the "life to eomo."but the emphasis is the life that is." Youth Being Attracted It Is this challenging program of putting the Kingdom of God so it may become a foundation for our city that is attracting youth in greater numbers than ever into Indianapolis churches. Dr Benson and other great leaders see that. "I am cominced that it is this challenge of the personality of the church, the challenge of its program of service all on a spiritualized social basis which is attracting young people we haven't had before." And the cavalcade takes on new regiments of young people. Then the new attitude. What is it? "The church used to say 'thou shalt." Dr Benson told me. "That's passe The church now savs vou CAN." Readv for ‘New Deal' Also. Dr Benson contends ‘the minister is anew social prophet.' The church has not been asleep It was ready for the new day of greater church importance based upon a program of service and of challenge. All denominations have been ready for the "new deal" in religious life. But the church is holding fast to certain big things which will never change Next—The Indianapolis Religious Melting Pot.

NRA TO RULE HALF OF U, S, 54 Out of Every 100 WageEarners Are Directly Affected. BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. s.—Fiftyfour out of every 100 workers—more than 25,000.000 of the nation's 49 000 000 gainfully employed in normal times—will be affected directly by the present universal NRA extension. Compilation of the 1930 United State census showed this division today in picturing the wide diversification of occupations. Many of the 49.000,000 employed in 1930, now among the 11.000.000 jobless, will get work. Many others on low wages will get direct wage boosts. Most of them will have their hours of work reduced. Sixteen out of every 100 wageearners are farmers and six more are farm laborers, who with their families, are to be helped under the agricultural adjustment act. In addition, about twenty-four in every 100 are in higher-paid occupations and work which does not come under the NRA regulations. These include more than 3.000.000 m various professions, including 1.000.000 teachers, about 2.000.000 retail and wholesale dealers, 1.500.000 domestic servants and almost 1 000,000 in public service. Also exempted are owners, managers and 'ifficials. building contractors, agents, dressmakers, boarding house keepers and most railroad workers.

But today more than 3.000 Indianapolis maids were affected by an utimatum of a S3 weekly wage with board following a meeting of the representatives of eight labor employment agencies with T. M. Over ley of the Better Business Bureau. Mrs. Hazel Ham. spokeswoman for the group, said that the agencies had signed agreements not to allow any girl to work for less than the S3 stipend and a good bed. three squares and decent treatment. Complaints Are Received "Most of the girls who come to us do not object to stich a compensation—s3—if they are well treated," said Mrs. Ham. "They know that times are bad and many people can't afford any more." "But many housewives have called us in the last few years, demanding girls who were willing to work for SI a week. That is ridiculous. "We have had complaints from girls who said they are forced to sleep in basements: only got two meals a day or worked as many as fourteen hours a day. Entitled to Benefits. "While the NRA program does not apply to domestics we people in the agencies feel that they. too. are entitled to some of the benefits of the new deal.

U. S. FILMS IN DEMAND French Theater Owners Insisting on Lowering of Barriers. By Vnitrtl Press PARIS. Aug. s.—While an interministerial commission was drafting anew decree for film imports for 1934. a group of 3.900 of the 4.054 moving picture theater owners in France were insisting upon the lowering of barriers to allow American films back into France. The government commission will have to sit many more days before the decree finally is drafted, for there evidently Is a very wide difference in opinions of French film producers and exhibitors. The producers. led by M. Natan, chief of the Pathe-Natan group, want all foreign films barred; the exhibitors insist that would kill the theaters. Harold L. Smith, representative in France of the Will Hays bureau at the head of the American film production industry, is closely following the negotiations and is optimistic that American films wil'! be treated fairly.

BY W. E. M KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League THERE is no question but that you can get awfully bad breaks in the play of a hand. Haven't you often heard a declarer remark at the end of a hand. "I just couldn't get one suit to break?" The next time you hear that remark. ask them to lay the hand out on the table again and see if a little thinking wouldn't have produced better results. The following hand was played in a recent tournament, and it was surprising to note that only one player found a way to make three no trump, and he did it because he decided that none of the suits would break—this is the key of the hand. South bid one diamond. West passed, and North responded with one spade, which suited East very well. South went to two ho trump, and North took the contract to three no trump. West's opening lead was the queen of hearts which the declarer won with the ace. He then returned the eight of spades, and when West played the jack, the queen was played from dummy, and East won the trick with the king. East now made a very nice return —he came back with the jack of clubs. The declarer, however, refused to win the trick, and East continued with the nine of clubs, which North won with the ace. a a a THE declarer then led a small diamond from dummy and won in his own hand with the queen. The seven of spades then was played, and West showed out, discarding the deuce of hearts. The declarer played a small spade from dummy, and East won with the ten. East returned the jack of diamonds, which immediately told the declarer that East had no more clubs or the clubs would have been continued. The declarer now fouid count every card in the East hand.

MILLION GIVEN JOBS BY CODE Estimate Does Not Include Workers Under Unmodified Blanket Pact. BY Rl TH FINNEY lim Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. s.—Between 1.000.000 and 1.500.000 persons have been put back to work by codes of fair competition already in effect, by temporary code agreements and by industries that have come under the blanket code with some modification. This estimate does not take account of workers re-emploved by firms which have put the President's re - employment agreement into effect individually without modification. No figures have been compiled on this group, though the number undoubtedly is large. Eleven industries now are operating temporarily under terms of the cotton textile code while waiting to draw agreements of their own. Two othej - industries are operating under completed codes and a third is waiting only the President's approval. Nineteen other large business groups have entered, as groups, into re - employment agreements slightly different from that promulgated to cover industry generally.

Contract Bridge

West had shown out of spades, therefore that left East with four spades. He has not returned a club, so he must have three diamonds. Declarer allowed the diamond trick to ride to dummy's king, and now saw that he could get a squeeze and an end play on the West hand.

Therefore, he cashed the ace and nine of spades in dummy, discarding from his own hand, first, the four of diamonds, and then, when West let go of the eight of club 6. declarer dropped the seven of clubs. West let go the five of hearts. The eight of diamonds was played from dummy. South winning with the ace. and West —as helpless. If he dropped a heart, the declarer's king and ten of hearts were good, so he had to discard the ten of clubs. Declarer then led the queen of clubs, throwing West in with the king and forcing him to lead away from his jack-nine of hearts into the declarer's king-ten. By being careful to count the hand down, rather than to play it carelessly and depend on a diamond break, the declarer made his contract of three no trump. cCwriahi, IM3, fry USA Sen ice. Zac.)

Conservation State May Open Season on Pheasants Next Year

FROM the desires of 365 000 men and women in Indiana who buy an annual hunting and fishing license. I gather they are not so much interested in the sweet bye and bye of their sport as they are in the nasty now and now. Time was in the Hoosier state when quail on toast was the epicurean eye-opener of the melancholy days of fall. Quail on toast, however, is another of those quaint old customs that has traveled its way with bustles and crinolines for the very simple reason that, whilp not out of style, the piece de resistance is becoming a rare bird. So rare, in fact, that some states are Importing them to the tune of $lO a pair for breeding purposes.

Last month a quail dealer from Tennessee was caught “racketeering in quail." Buying the wild birds from farmer trappers at 50 cents a bird, he had made shipments to the east at a price that netted him a

profit of $35,000. The purpose of the federal game warden service is. to stop such practices, and it did. On the plains of Mon golia when Ghengis Kahn pursued his bride to be among the yurts of a neighboring chief, this primitive. and then unknown

lad recounts the wedding feast of deer and pheasant meats. There were no birds called pheasants in the North or South Ameriea then. Pheasants traveled with the Mongols on their conquests into Russia and Bohemia. Sportsmen took them into England years ! later. From there they were j brought here as a curiosity. The I English ring-neck is a hybrid bird of many generations. nun IT was discovered slowly that the pheasant supplemented the quail as a game bird and. as in Ohio, completely took the place of the bob white. Again, there is a sentiment connected with the cheery, fat-breasted quail that makes lovers fight for him. and often he Is placed on the song bird list, to the utter disgust of bird hunters and to the detriment of the quail. I think. So, with regard to all of these things and more, Indiana sportsmen in a sane manner made their wishes known to the conservation department. They asked that laws be passed to property protect quail, not to make the mistake of classifying it as a song bird, a quail being a bird of close range in breeds under a completely closed season to the detriment of the bird. There are arguments about this, but my own observation, covering most of the quail areas in the Mississippi valley, tends to support the belief that well-regulated shooting and conquent scattering of coveys improves the breed. The sportsmen also asked for | pheasants. Many local clubs 1 started breeding and releasing them. The state then took hold and established two breeding farms, one in Brown county and one in Pulaski county. The money used came from game licenses. This year Kenneth M. Kunkel and his game breeders are releasing 15.000 pheasants. BUB Sportsmen afield soon will begin to see them in numbers and we all appeal to you to subdue your instincts to take a shot until they are here in sufficient numb?rs to declare an open season. The fine is rather heavy anyway; you can buy a lot of steak for S6O Virgil Simmons, sportsman, and head of the conservation department under the new deal, believes he can open the season on pheasants next year by proper co-oper-ation of every hunter and outdoorsman. It's a noble bird: two of them wiil feed a family of five in king's style. The food value of this crop runs into the millions in those states where they now are plentiful. You will not regret your decision to plug the gun barrel this fall when you see one nse from the grass and vanish over the hedge row. He will have sixteen children following him next year at n. expense to the state. Next—More about pheasants. 36.C00.000 ENROLLED Number in Sundav Schools Over World Is Estimated.

ONE mystery story that might give you a few pleasant chills on a hot summer night is "Ho Arrived at Dusk,*' by R. C. Ashby (Macmillan; $2). This one has to do with funny business in an old English country house, the funny business being apparently caused by the ghost of a Roman centurion, dead these 1.600 years and more. A young London curio-shop owner gets mixed up in it and tells his friend, the Scotland Yard man; and it's all explained satisfactorily in the end. but not before a bit of blood is spilled and a lot of excitement is stirred up. Taken by and large, it's a satisfactory yarn of the creepy variety. It was inevitable that someone sooner or later would work the century of progress affair into a detective tale. John Ashehurst has done It in "The World's Fair Murderers" fHoughton-Mifflin; $2. telling how a distinguished European scientist gels plugged in full sight of thousands of visitors at the fair, how n mysterious death ray machine found in a taxi, and how the professor s corpse disappears en route back to Europe It's all very puzzling if you can keep your mind on it. By this time you've probably heard about "Obelists at Sea," by C Daly King 'Knopf; s2>. A capitalist gets murdered on an ocean liner, and four assorted psychologists volunteer to lay the finger on the murderer. Successively they pick four innocent people, and in the end an ordinary copper solves it. The story is longlsh, but entertaining. New mathematical formula? applicable to the design of suspension bridges, and expected to bring about economies, have been announced.

EXPANSION OF : UNIVERSE HELD IN LIMELIGHT One Astronomer Advances ? More Cheering Theory That Crash Is Remote. BY DAVID DIETZ Srnpp.-Hmr.rd Science Editor The chief topic of conversation Ir I : the astronomical world during th< I last year ha3 been the expandin' I universe. According to Eddlngtoi nnd Jeans, the universe is expandini I like a gigantic soap-bubble. The 1 structure, however, is more cotnpll- I rated than that of a soap-bubble. I It is not a sphere but what Eddlng- J ton calls a "four-dimensional hyper- I sphere " There is not much use trying to g make r picture of a four-dlmen- I sional hvpersphere, although Ed- I uington says that bv trving hard he I ran get a faint mental picture of I four dimensions. According to Lemaitre. the ex- j panding universe which we see j* around us Is the flying debris of a * primeval explosion that took place f eons ago. Before that explosion, all * the matter of the univprse was con- J cm? rated in one gigantic, universal i atom. Still another model of the unt- j verse is given by Tolman. He ar- | rived at his by mixing the theory of < relativity with the laws of thermo- j dynamics and shaking the mixture I well. The result Is no exploded universe j doomed to expand until its energy . has been completely dissipated, but 1 a universe which expands and con- , tracts like an accordion. There Is more optimism in Toman's celestial j accordion. It plays notes of hope. ■ ieassurlng us that the doom In- I herent in Eddington's four-dimen- | sional soap-bubble may not necessarily be so. Discover Red Shift. But while discussions of the expanding universe hold the center of I the stage, most of the work going on now in astronomical observatories is concerned with much less ambitious fields. Even the Mt. Wilson Observatory, whose studies of the very distant spiral nebulae have furnished most of the observational proof needed for theories of the expanding universe, is concerned also with problems closer at home. Dr Edwin P. Hubble and Dr. Milton C. Humason have collected most of the evidence for the theory of the expanding universe, using a powerful spectroscope in conjunction with | the 100-inch telescope, the world’s I largest telescope. What they discovered was the famous "red shift" in the spectrum of these nebulae, which the theorists interpret to mean that the universe is expanding. But Dr. Walter 8 Adams, director of the observatory, has also been attaching a powerful spectrograph to the big telescope and turning It on objects right in our own astronom--1 ica! back yard, studying the brothers and sisters, the other pla i ets in the solar system. Doubtful of Life on Mars This work has led Dr. Adams to the conclusion that there is much ! less possibility of life on the planet Mars than astronomers have been inclined to think there was. Another important task carried out under Dr. Adams' direction has been the determination of the ‘spectroscopic absolute magnitudes" of 4.000 stars. This study is of the utmost value since it enables us to say with considerable accuracy the distances of those 4000 stars from the earth and so gives us additional insight into the structure of our Milky Way or galaxy. The distance of the nearer stars can be measured by trigonometric methods. The astronomer notes the shift of the nearer star against the background of distant stars This shift, due to the movement of the earth around the sun, is so extremely small for even the near- ! cst stars that it can be detectied In their case only with the most precise instruments by the most skillful observers. Measure Star’s Rrightnem In 1914 Dr Adams showed that the spectrum of a star was a clew to its absolute magnitude or true brightness. More exactly, he showed that the strength or weakness of certain lines in the spectrum were a clew to the star s intrinsic brightness. Now the apparent brightness of a 1 star can be measured easily. Therefore. if we know, by Adams’ method. the true brightness, we can then calculate its distance from a very simple formula. The method, when tried out on the nearer stars, checked with the distances obtained by trigonometric measurements, and so astronomers have fc’t safe in extending it to the more distant stars. And as prevlousi lv mentioned, Dr. Adams has just completed such measurements for 4.000 stars. The trigonometric method works well only with stars within a ladius of 150 light years. A light year is six trillion miles. The dominion astrophysical observatory in Canada has also been engaged in determining the absolute spectroscopic magnitude of stars with the result that today we have more distances determined by the spectroscopic method than by the trigonometric one.
