By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 38— Recognition of the youth of the Methodist Church as worthy a voice in its councils and condemnation of organizations which by hidden methods defy the law were features of the third day of the Methodist Episcopal General Conference, the legisiative body of the church, which is holding its twenty-ninth quadren- nial session here. The law-deflance motion was intro- duced by a negro delegate, Robert B. Hayes of the Central Missouri delegation, and was generally inter- preted as directed against the Ku Klux Kilan. It referred to those whose zeal 13 burning but whose methods are hidden, whose aims are probably for good but whose results are damaging the perpetuity and harmony of the country.” Students to Speak. Three Methodist students, Walter Mueller of Illinois, R. D.

CONSTITUTION' IS AMENDED Privilege Issue Creates Two Fac- tions With Organization. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 3.—The foremost issue confronting the Young Wom- en's Christian Association during the past few years was brought to a con- clusion today when delegates to the national convention voted by a large majority to allow women of all faiths full voting membership in the assoclation. The amendment to the constitution accomplishing this change, however, Wwill not become effective until it has Dbeen approved by the 1926 convention. Each local association, under the amendment, retains the Tight to de- cide whether it desires to adopt the new policy, or adhere to the old, which provides that the organiza- tion’s voting and officeholding mem- bership to be limited to _members of Protestant Bvangelical Churches. Deelaration Provision. Voting privileges under the amend- ment would be extended to “any woman or girl over cighteen years of age, provided she makes the follow- ing’ declaration: desire to_enter the Chri ship of the as- sociation. lly endeavor to uphold its purpose in my own life and through my membership in the a: ciation.” The issue of whether the privileges of full membership would be extend ed to women of other faiths has created within the association two factions. The faction opposing sucn a change consisted largely of the older members. TWo years ago a com- misslon was appointed to make a thorough study of the subject. This commissions’s report was the basis of the change voted today. Regulation Requirements. The new regulations would requir= that three-fourths of the members of the board, including three-fourths of the officers of the asseciation be mem- bers of churches eligible to member- ship in the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. The same qualification would be required of three-fourths of the voting mem- bers of each local delegation at the national convention The following officers were nomi nated without opposition: President, Mrs. C.

It may be a blessing in disguise that so few young daughters in France desire to Eo outside it. And it is wonderful what the young French girl finds to do in the home, when one remembers what a waste the English girl con- siders a da. pent in pottering round. The verb “to potter” h: equivalent, and a great deal is left to the girls of the house as a matter of course that in England would be in the province of the servants. For all that, the home daughter finds time to play the piano, to sing, without much real voice, but with feeling and an attractive ' facility; to entertain and be entertained, to go to concerts and the theater, to dance, to run up her frocks, make herself “undies,” to dab. ble in’ the cooking line, to read se- rious books and discuss by the hour the topics of the day with surprising logic and common sense.

Saks & Company—Second Floor ‘DONT’S’ FOR GUESTS Exhibition Period Advice Includes ‘Warnings Against “Black Sheep.” ) Delivers This Player $1 0 to Your Home By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 2—A list of well| meant “don'ts,” some serious and others not so much so, are beginning to appear in the newspapers for the benefit of the hundreds of thousands of visitors ‘Who are expected in Lon- don this summer to visit the British empire exhibition. As many thou- sands of these guests are expected to be Americans, much of the advice is based upon the English conception of American weaknesses. | In recent years scores of Americans have been victimized by confidence tricksters here, S0 Americans are warned that most of the British are mildly hospitable and friendly, but that | only the black sheep are very friend- 1y and hospitable. The black sheep, it is pointed out, are not too proud to dip into their neighbor's pocket on a crowded street’ Therefore, say the newspapers, don’t wear horn- rimmed spectacles or chew gum—it will attract the black sheep and cost more.
