More than 12,000 high schools took part, and approximately 12,000,000 persons heard the various trials. Zone 1, made up of northern New Jersey, New York and New England, Mffers Vail Barnes, seventeen- year-old junior in the Curtis High hool, New Brighton, N. Y. He is tall, forceful and possesscs a voice of wide range and dramatic fervor. Mis fighting spirit is shown fn the fact that, in defiance of his doctor's orders, he got up from a bed to which he had been confined for five days with fever and won a clean-cut vic- tory in the zone finals in Town Hall in New York city on May 9. Holder of Two Medals. Already the holder of two medals for public speaking, John Mortimer Dallam, 11, of the West Philadelphia Boys' High School will represent the custern zone, made up of Pennsyl- vunla, southern New Jersey, Dela- ware, and Maryland. Dallam is the winner over more than 110,000 con- 1estants in his zone and was accord- «d first place by four out of five judges at its final meeting on May 12. The son and grandson of Philadel- phia attorneys, Mr. Dallam relies for his appeal on argument rather than rhetoric. A slight, soft-spoken bru- nette, very much at ease before an audience, his victory brought him a $1,200 university scholarship. He is cighteen_years ol Miss Newburn is the contestants, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Newburn of the Wardman Park annex. She was the unanimous choice of Justices Sid- dons, McCoy and Robb, who com- prised the board of judges in the finals, in which eight high schools took part. Miss Newburn is what some term the latest “style” in oratory, the calm, self-posse a livery, the orator relying on forceful presentation of facts, rather than the Ro-called “arm-waving" brand of oratory. itor of School Wear Book. The Central High School contender for national honors is active n the literary work of Central, being a member of the Bulletin staff, and the editor of the senior class year book, the Brecky. Miss Newburn has the whole-heart- ed support of the local high schools in the contest. She is a blonde who has not bobbed her hair. Zone 4, the southern zone—Missis- sippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Caro- Jina and Virginia—will have an able representative in the person of sev- enteen-year-old Jack Turner, a stu- dent of the Phillips High' School, Birmingham, Ala. He is said to be a thrilling_speaker, after the style of Henry Clay. The ovation accorded him when he was declared the winner in his zone was such as has been ac- corded few speakers in Alabama, Noung or old, according to report. To Eleanor Huber, the winner in the central states zone, which in- cludes Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinols, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia and that part of New York adjacent to Buffalo, betongs the dis- tiniction of being the most diminutive of orators.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 24— Delighted with the speedy passage of the Methodist General Confer- ence's declaration against war, the delegates were telling one another in their hotel lobbles tonight that the church had made a great stride for- ward in its fight for world peace and harmony. Only a few dissenting volces were heard, Some men assert- ing that the pronouncement had not gone far enough in its condemna- tion of “the law of the jungle among nations.” The insartion of three words in the statement just hefore its adoption sounded a note which met with gen- eral approval. The original report, made public yesterday, had declared that “the establishment of the prin- ciple that conscription of wealth and labor must ye the counterpart of any future conscription of human life wiil be a powerful deterrent against The amendment, proposed by the Rev. Joseph M. M. Gray of Scranten, Pa, made the statement read “We demand the establishment, etc.” Minor Changes Sugxested. The re-phrasing of the rest of the sentence with certain minor changes in language elsewhere, suggested by various delegates, will be carried out by the special committee which framed the statement, and the new b version will be published next Tues- day for the delegates’ inspection. Judge Henry Wade Rogers of the United_States” Circuit Court of Ap- peals, New York city, as chairman of the judiclary committee, led a suc- cessful fight today for a decision by the conference that the election of district superintendents by the co ference of district superintendents, now appointed by the bishops, would be unconstitutional. His committee was, however, directed to frame an amendment to the church constitu- tion making the practice legal. Ansalls Lax Morals.

One of the main objectives was to emphasize the importance of periodic physical examination. This applies to every- body- The Health Department and the Public School authorities have been working harmoniously in the effort to give health examinations, thru the school doctor, to every kindergarten and primary grade child at the outset of its school career. Keeping the Well Person Well Having the body overhauled is the starting point of the campaign to “keep the well person well” To persuade every- one to take stock of his physical assets and liabilities at least once a year, and having assured himself that his body is in good condition, to be free from worry about it at least until his next examination—that is the goal. Examination and Prevention If you are a parent, have you had your child examined by a physician and a dentist? Are you yourself as physically fit as possible?

Christian people in forelgn lands were being subjected to misleading motion pic- tures, the report asserted. “We deprecate the tragic prevalence of the various forms of gambling in social life,” the report continued, “conducing as they do to the grosser manifestations of the same evil at the race track, the pool room and elsewhere. * *'® We recognize the demand for a ministry of prevention as well as rescue, and we pledge anew * e * our efforts for the removal of everything that threatens the moral life of our civilization.” The five bishops elected this week will_ be consecrated tomorrow at services in the auditorium.

CLEVELAND, May 24—The trial on the charge of heresy of William M. Brown, retired bishop of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church, to be held next Tuesday, will, if the bishop can s0 arrange it, be an out and out fight between modernist and fundamental- ist theological conceptions, supporters of the churchman said here tonight. Bishop Brown, whose home is in Galion, Ohlo, finished preparation of his defense today. One of the bishop's attorneys, Edward Bushnell of Cleveland, .today made a demand upon Bishop John Gardner Murray of Baltimore, president of the trial court of nine bishops, that he summon & gToup of modernists to testify re- garding their doctrinal beliefs. This group includes Rev. Dr. Percy Stick- ney Grant, Rev. Dr. Leighton Parks, Rev. Dr. Karl Reiland and Rev. Wil- llam Guthrie, New York; Rev. Dr. Elwood Worcester, Boston, and Rev. Truman Heminway, Providence, R. L Bishop Brown's alleged heresy hangs upon Interpretation of the Bible, he says. He admits he has been uriorthodox in interpreting some passages of the Bible symbolically, rather than literally, but he contends that all the bishops interpret the scriptures symbolically. —— RASPUTIN KIN PENNILESS. Monk’s Daughter to Sell Memoirs; to Be Dancer. PARIS, May 24.—Mile. Marle Grego- rlovna Rasputin, daughter of the mur- dered Russian monk, who is living in Paris practically pennilees, plans to sell her father’s memoirs and to take up professional dancing for which she was trained. Three of the famous monk's five chil- dren still are living, Mile. Rasputin de- clared today. She said that one of her Drothers and one of her sisters are liv- ing in Siberia, and that the others died after the revolution. Mile. Rasputin said she remembered the night of her father's death. Before leaving the house he said to his family : “I am going to the Youssoupoffs. 1 do not want any one to know a word about it; not a word.” It was recalled that the name of Prince Felix Youssoupoft had been mentioned in connection with the monk’s death, OFFERS BONUS IN VAIN FORHIGH CASH BIDDER Veteren Who Advertises Finds No Buyers Here and Learns Law Prevents Deal. $1.500 SOLDIER BONUS to highest Bidder: need money now. Address Box 90-R, Star office. 1t can’t be done. This advertiser tried it. He dis- covered two things. First, the law won't let him. Second, there were no buvers in Washington for his offer. Investigation among members of Congress who helped frame the bonus law, and among departments of the executive branch of the government which will administer it, revealed that the above advertisement, which appeared as an experiment a few days ago in The Evening Star, is ex- actly the thing Uncle Sam does not intend that the soldier who is pressed for cash shall do. “The law clearly protects the vet- eran against ‘scalpers. and against his own moments of weakness when he may want to sacrifice his bonus,” declared Representative Royval C. Johnson, Republican, of South Da- kota. Law Carefully Drafted Representative Johnson, who took a prominent part in the legislative processes through which the bonus bill traveled during the past five years into law, empnatically pointed out that the subject had heen thor- oughly considered at many hearings, and the law was carefully drafted to prohibit such a practice. At the Veterans’ Bureau, it was sald that final interpretations had nct as yet been placed upon the act, hut that authorities theore were agreed the spirit of the law was against bonus sale, and that persons who at- tempted to purchase adjusted service certificates would find themselves the losers. Rumors have reached the Veterans' Bureau, for instance, it was learned, that in one of the principal cities of the middle west, a huge financial pool was being organized with the hope of buying soldiers’ bonuses for cash, at a great discount, and reaping enormous profit for themselves at the expense of both the soldier and the sovernment. any soldiers seem to be willi sell their adjusted service certifiestes for what they would bring, judging from reports brought into The Eve- ning Star by the soldier who inserted the advertisement as an experiment, and from reports heard in many other military circles in Washington, Veteran Fully Portected. Some may attempt to sell. Some may even succeed in selling, it was said last night, but Veterans' Bureau officials pointed to the law, as warn- ing to those who may attempt to buy. If there is no provision making it a crime to pay cash for an adjusted compensation certificate, it was sald, there is nothing which wili insure payment by the government to any other than the soldier himself, or his dependents, or beneficiaries desig- nated only by the director of the Veterans' Bureau, The veteran, it is pointed out, is protected. The “scalp- er,” in all probability, would find himself with a plece of worthless paper. In other quarters section 608 of the bonus act was pointed to as the most direct authority against sale and pur- chase of the bonus. It is entitled * reads as follows: “No right to payment under the provisions of this bill shall be assign- able or serve as security for any loan. Any assignment or loan made in vio- lation of the provisions of this sec- tion shall be held void.
