South Delegates Give Today to Devo- tional Services. to With the troublesome question of unification apparently disposed of, temporarily at least, the Baltimore Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South will glve the day over to devotional services, and to the ordination of elde and deacons. The program calls for a conclusion of the conference tomor- row, but the end will depend on de- velopments, it was sald, and sessions will continue u business is fin- ished Concerning what will of the parliamentary tangle into which the conference plunged over its vote rejecting Methodist unifica- tion Monday, not even the leaders on both sides of the controversy would hazard a guess. As the matter now stands, Bishop Warren A. Candler stands by his po- sition taken last Monday, .which finally resulted in a yea and nay vote rejecting develop out | unification. Some feel the questions of church law must be reviewed by the College of Bishops. Bishop Candier will deliver the ser- mon this morning at Mount Vernon Place Church and officiate at the or- dination of deacons. At the Mount Pleasant church elders will be ordained at the evening service. Numerous committees are to report tomorrow, and it is anticipated that ate in the day announcement will be made of the assignment of ministers to their posts for the ensuing year FINDS BIG ADVANCE IN NAVAL AVIATION Capt. Craven Enthusiastic After Seeing Great Prac- tice on Pacific Coast. By the Associated Press. SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 28.—A statement that the part played by naval aircraft in the great practice held by the United States fleet in the Santa Barbara Channel last week re- vealed vividly the progress made in naval aviation, was issued today by Capt. Thomas Craven, commandant of the North Island naval air station. Capt. Craven saw the work of the airplanes and the firing of the battle- ships and destroyers from the cockpit of an observation plane piloted by Lieut. B. H. Wyatt. “The force practice on Wednesday was splendid and very impressive to behold,” said Capt. Craven. “The im- provement from an aviation point of view was tremendous since last year. A long step has been made these last few months, and the many planes aloft over the ships were significant of what may be expected in due urse of time.” Co({,am. Craven believes that the de- velopment of naval and military avi- ation is fundamentally interlinked rith that of commercial aeronautics, particularly in the development of civil air transport lines. “It must seem evident,” he said, “that the problem of ‘putting aviation to work' in a commercial sense, is the important one of the day for the- airman and upon this, rather than upon the organization and the aero- nautical control of aviation in the Army and Navy, depends the broad development of the aeronautical fea- tures of national defense.” .

The path was approximately a mile wide. A smaller part of the tornado branched off into Kentucky and Tennessee. Throughout the entire tornado dis- trict in Indlana and Illinois stucco houses best stood the terrific wind strain. Houses constructed with diagonal sheeting also showed mark- ed resistance. Brick buildings, fac- tory chimneys and concrete crum- bled more readily than wooden build- ings, the meteorologists found. All cyclone winds in this hemisphere rotate the same way—counter-clock- wise—even little dust whirls, said Mr. Root.

CHICAGO, March 25.—Thirty-five youthful delegates from the Boys' Re- public, who called on Vice President Dawes at his Evanston home today, were disappointed in not attaining the object of their visit, but were unan mous in their declaration that the Vice jPresident is a good ball player.

They said they had received a letter from the late Mrs. Harding, offering them the dog if they could find him. They explained they learned the Airedale was in posses- slon of the family of one of the late President’s secret service guards, at West Newton, Mass. Mr. Dawes explained that he was sorry but he could not aid them. He then suggested a ball game. Troop- ing to the Dawes lawn the boys soon were busy chasing flies knocked out by the Vice President. As they trooped away after a half hour of fun, one of them whispered to a companion: ‘Say, he can lam 'em out, can’t he?" and after a moment's reflection, “And he ain’t afraid of ‘em either.
