SCIENCE CHURCH SPEAKER GIVES TALK ON TRUTH Mental Nature of Existence Explained by Boston Lecturer Here. The unreal and insubstantial nature of matter, and the mental nature of existence were explained by Professor Herman S. Hering in a lecture last night under the auspices of Second Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city. Professor ; Henng is a member of the lectureship board of the other church, the First Church of Christ. Scientist, in Boston. Professor Hering chose for the j subject of his lecture." Scientific Christian Healing, and he laid a foundation for his discussion of the healing as accomplished by Jesus and his disciples, by first disposing of matter stating that belief in the reality of matter and in the supremacy of material law is the gretaest i hindrance in the way of under- j standing Christian healing. Because j this healing was and is now effected through spiritual means, he said, it must be spiritually discerned. Since existence is consciousness. Professor Hering said, it has to do with the human mind—that mind or consciousness with which we are aware of our existence. The human mind, although cognizing materiality, is capable of knowing the truth he went on to say, and it 1 is through knowing the truth of any subject that error is corrected and destroyed. Important to Know Truth In fart, he said, we can never know' anything but the truth, and illustrated this point by declaring that we can never know that two and two make five, because they do not, even though it be written on a blackboard in clear figures. Just so. he continued, we can never know anything that is wrong, evil or material; we can never know sin. disease or death; we can only believe them. It is important. Professor Hering j said, to know just what truth is. j and he defined it as actuality as j distinguished from mere appearance, as that which is real as dis- | tinguisheri from that which seems j to be; it is defined as.reality. He emphasized the importance of knowing the truth so clearly that error is instantly perceived, just as inspectors in the treasury department in Washington are taught genuine currency so thoroughly that they can quickly detect, counterfeits. He pointed out that it is through knowing the truth of God's perfect creation as recorded in the Bible that error is detected and destroyed in consicousness. World Needs Healing The lecturer made clear the importance of applying the truth accurately. persistently and patiently in order to obtain results in spiritual healing. That healing of discord of every 1 kind was accomplished by Jesus and his disciples through prayer and the understanding of divine principle, of spiritual law, can not be denied, Professor Hering declared, and that the world is in need of healing and is in need of a better means of heal- j ing than is in general use today. Jesus set the standard of perfect j healing before humanity, he said, j and maintained that Christian Science is the re-establishment on a scientific, demonstrable basis of the Christianity which Jesus taught and practiced.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER, NEA Service Writer TIT ASHINGTON, Feb. 27. ’ * Congressional wives may sniff and sneer, and whet their dagger for the duckless “expert” so bold as to choose the ten bestdressed men in the house and senate, but, let the blips and quips fall where they may, here is the list. And while this choice is being made, we may as well go the full route and pick the ten,most important, the ten most radical, and the ten most conservative. Going back to sartorial splendor, we present: 1. Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma. 2. Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. 3. Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York. 4. Senator Hiram Johnson of California. 5. Senator Robert D. Carey of Wyoming.

‘Nonsense Courses’ Are Hit by I. U. Professor

‘Advanced Literacy,’ Says Professor Williams in Talk at Cleveland. By Timm Bperial ' ; v CLEVELAND. 0.. Feb. 27.—Prof. Kenneth P. Williams. Indiana university, arch foe of the so-called “nonsense courses in education,” addressed the National Society of College Teachers of Education here last night. He thanked them for the opportunity to speak, since this group bears the brunt of his various attacks on the courses in teaching technique. Repeating these attacks on the technical courses in school administration. Professor Williams told the educators: “Philosophies of education should grow out of a broad, deep and discriminating history of our civilization and an appreciative understanding of the various elements that have contributed to it.” Sound general culture should be stressed in preparation of teachers and they should not be made to fritter away time on technical coursese merely to meet absurd requirements for certificates such as those set up for high schools in Indiana, he said. “Wfiat merely is advanced

6. Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina. 7. Representative Leonard W. Schuetz of Illinois. 8. Representative John J. Delaney of New r York. 9. Representative Samuel Dickstein of New York. 10. Representative Paul J. Kvale of Minnsota. The list is cockeyed to begin w'ith, of course. At. the top of it should be Congresswoman Isabella Greenway of Arizona. But let that pass. tt o tt EVERY one seems to agree on Mr. Thomas, the inflationist leader, as among senators. Perhaps you’ve seen him photographed in ragged, knee-length overalls. But in congress his brow'n—sometimes salt-and-pepper—suits and careful choice of shirts and ties, surmounted by a dignified, silvery head, superimposed on an erect, lithe chassis, inspire universal admiration.

literacy has been confused with education,” Professor Williams charged. Urging increase of general scholarship, he continued: “Not long ago, a principal of a large cit yhigh schoolft himself a good scholar as well as capable administrator, told me that the way to make the public respect the schools is to increase the scholarship of the teachers. The first step must be in increasing the scholarship of superintendents and principals in fundamental subjects. “We realize now that our financial institutions and our great industries should not be presided over by persons skilled only in administration and absorbed only in getting business. “A school system presided over by a person whose tastes, desires and thinking manifestly have not been moulded by a knowledge and appreciation of science, the humanities, and the arts, is not a healthy one, though the nature of its ills may escape detection, hidden beneath such things as budgets in good arithmetical order. “Administrative skill should be insisted upon as an adjuct. not as the sole qualification for administrators.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The pink beard helps the blue and brown double-breasted suits, the perfectly matching ties, socks, and show-handkerchiefs and spats of Ham Lewis qualify for second prize. Mr. Copeland always is w’ell-groomed in blue serge, usually with a navy blue tie striped in white, but his invariable pink carnation tops him off. Mr. Johnson goes in for dou-ble-breasted business suits, w'hite shirts with stiff collars and cuffs, and ties to match his socks. He carries a cane. Mr. Carey usually w’ears a sin-gle-breasted gray business suit, w'ith ties to match same. Mr. Reynolds’ blue double-breasted are made of North Carolina homespun and he manages to look well in white soft-collared shirts. tt tt tt SCHUETZ usually appears in striped trousers with pipings on his waistcoat. Mr. Dickstein also affects double-breasted suits.

TWO GIRLS RESCUE BROTHER FROM ICE South Bend Children Are Acclaimed as Heroes. By I,'nited Brest: SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Feb. 27. Mary Louise, 10, and Catherine, 8, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Pfaff, were acclaimed as heroes today for the thrilling rescue of their younger brother, George, from the icy waters of St. Joseph river. George crashed through the ice w r hile on the way home from school late yesterday. The w r ater was tw-enty feet deep at the point w’here he fell through. While other children ran screaming for aid, Mary Louise threw herself on her stomach and grasped George as he struggled to keep afloat. She gradually worked toward shore. Catherine helped her sister and brother, but fell through the ice herself. By this time, however, the three children w’ere close enough to shore to w r ade to safety. Firemen who appeared just as the youngsters reached shore hurried them home. A 10-year-old Ft. Worth (Tex.) boy, Clinton White, has suffered thirty-eight bone fractures in eight years.

field. Senator Thomas tops the sartorial list, Senj tor Norris the “important” list, Huey Long the

spats, cane and usually a green or maroon tie. Mr. Kvale’s suits are brown. Mr. Delaney: Double-breasted, tailormade clothes, spats, white shirts, stiff collars. Mr. Delaney gives his blessing to this sartorial survey. Says he: “It might be good for business if you could stir up a little more interest in dress around here. There are some people around who haven't had their pants pressed for thirty years.” tt tt tt ONE might jam a member or two from the "best-dressed” list into the "most important” list, but consensus gathered by your correspondent seems to be against it. Here’s the consensus—again arbitrarily picking six senators and four representatives: 1. Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska. 2. Senator Wililam E. Borah of Idaho. 3. Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas. 4. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. 5. Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon. 6. Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York. 7. Speaker Henry T. Rainey of Illinois. 8. House Majority Leader Joseph W. Byrns of Tennessee. 9. Chairman Robert L. Doughton of the house ways and means committee. North Carolina. 10. House Minority Leader Bertrand H. Snell of New York. Squawks doubtless will arise from friends of Elmer Thomas and Carter Glass of Virginia. If you insisted on another Republican. there'd be David A. Reed of Pennsylvania.

i radicals and Senator Reed the conservatives. And every one of them has beaten opposition, to gain the I highly coveted honors.

NORRIS is the great progressive leader, many of whose dreams have come true in the new deal. His lame duck constitutional amendment and the Tennessee Valley project are outstanding monuments to his efforts. Mr. Borah is the most influential individualistic leader, w’ho still sounds the charge to battle better than any one else. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Harrison come next as administration leaders of great pow'er, through their posts. They’re respectively majority leader and chairman of the finance committee. Mr. McNary is the shrew'd, politically effective senate Republican minority leader, with a genius for working quietly and getting things 'done. Mr. Wagner is chairman of the national labor board, sponsor of the NIRA and labor’s most effective senate champion. tt tt a N r O one outranks the chief titular leaders of the house in importance. Over there the party machinery is all-important and all-powerful. You get into deeper water picking the ten "most radical.” but try this: 1. Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana. 2. Senator Edward P. Costigan of Colorado. 3. Senator Homer T. Bone of Washington. 4. Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska. 5. Senator Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota. 6. Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin. 7. Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana. 8. Representative William Lemke of North Dakota. 9. Representative Marion A. Zioncheck of Washington.

10. Representative Francis H. Shoemaker of Minnesota. Huey lands nt the top when you couple his rrdical. concrete redis-tribution-of-wealth program with his noisy belligerence. After all, other senators don’t get into brawls in Long Island washrooms. Mr. Costigan ranks high through progressive principles and fearless indifference to political consequences. So does Norris. Mr. Bone, now a Democrat, has campaigned on Socialist, FarmerLabor, Progressive and other tickets. Mr. Frazier is father of drastic anti-war and farm relief measures. tt a a tMNGERS grow tired making these lists, and so many dyed-in-the-wool conservatives in congress are conspicuous that it’s hard to enumerate the first ten. Here, however, is an unnumbered list: Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania. Senator Frederic C. Walcott of Connecticut Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio. Senator Frederick Hale of Maine. Senator Henry W. Keyes of New Hampshire. Senator Hamilton F. Kean of New Jersey. Senator L. J. Dickinson of lowa. Representative James M. Beck of Pennsylvania. Representative Carroll L. Beedy of Maine. Representative Hamilton Fish of New York. They’re all Republicans. The most conspicuous conservative Democrat is Senator Carter Glass of Virginia.
