Methodists Launch First World Session Since Consolidation 776 Delegates Sent By Three Previously Estranged Branches By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.,, April 24. —Six hundred and seventy-six dele- gates from all over the world, half of them ministers and half laymen, | began in the Municipal Auditorium | here today the first general confer- ence of the year-old Methodist Church. For three weeks they will study the first quadrennial message from | the Council of Bishops, sift 105 “me- morials” from individual Methodists and groups of Methodists, and adopt | legislation to strengthen administra- tion of a far-flung spiritual em- pire. | They will co-ordinate women’s| work in the church, decide whether | to continue, modify or discard sev-| eral “youth” organizations inherited | from the three previously estranged | branches of Methodism, and they will review, but probably won’t change the articles of doctrine be- | queathed to Methodists by John| ‘Wesley back in the 18th century. Welcoming Party Held. Last night the delegates, 52 bishops and about 2,000 other Meth- | odists gathered for a “welcoming | party.” Mayor C. D. White and Bishop Ernest G. Richardson extended greetings. Police said they had closed every bookmaking establishment, bingo parior and club game in town last | week, and carted a hundred slot machines into city hall. Said Mayor White: | “We're glad you're here, because of the uplift your presence gives.” | Consolidation Praised. Bishop Boyt M. Dobbs of Jack- son, Miss., declared the bringing to- gether of 7,856,000 Methodists in a | single church organization had “jus- | tified the highest expectations.” The Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Protestant Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church | South were reunited at Kansas City & year ago after a reunion move- ment which lasted 29 years. The M. P. Church had broken away in 1828 in protest against the Meth- odist Episcopal Church’s administra- tive setup. The Southern church broke away in 1844 after a dxsagree- ment on the slavery issue. C. C. C. Officials Plant Tree at Fechner Grave Special memorial services in the form of a tree-planting ceremony were held at the grave of Robert | Fechner, former director of the | Civilian Conservation Corps, in Ar- lington National Cemetery yesterday. A Japanese weeping cherry tree was planted between the grave and nearby Laughton drive by officials of | the C. C. C., the cemetery staff and by a tree surgery detail from Camp N. P. 14, Company 1391, of Rock Creek Park. Mr. Fechner was eulogized by Col. Charles Mortimer, officer in charge of the cemetery, and Charles H. Tay- lor, assistant director of the C. C. C. Col. C. C. Reynolds, chief of the me- morial branch of the C. C. C., and Supt. Robert R. Dye of the cemetery also participated. The 18 enrollees of the Rock Creek Park camp each shoveled a spade full of earth around the base of the tree. A copper plaque, set in stone, was dedicated and reads: “Memorial tres to the memory of Robert Fech- ner, director ¢f the Civiiiaa Con- Servation Corps. Planted and dedi- cated by the C. C. C. detail at Ar- lington National Cemetery. A lette rfro mthe wido $nvannah, Ga., was read, ex| regrets at her inability to attend. | Miss Columbia Dickey, sister-in-law | to Mr., Fechner, represented the tamily. FALSE TEETH WEARERS often worst breath offenders i Don't let Denture Breath and stains shout “False” 'Dentists say—use POLIDENT A thin dark film collects on plates and bridges. This film soaks up odors and impurities like a sponge! It holds ®erms and decay bacteria...gets into every tiny crevice where brushing can’t even reach. And it’s so tough that ordi- mary brushing seldom removes it. Almost always it results in “denture breath”=probably the most offensive of @ll breath odors. Yet there's a perfect way to clean and ipurify false teeth without brushing, acid |or danger. It is Polident, a powder that (dusohes away all scum, stains, hrnull and odor. Grateful Users Praise It . Polident makes breath sweeter=~ plates or bridges look better and feel better. Tens of thousands call Polidenta blessing for comfort, convenience and hygiene.

Designed to produce a large num- ber of copies from one transmission at a reasonable cost, the machine is tp be shown to representatives of several Government agencies which may be interested. The system of copying involves a sending and a receiving unit. Active factor in the sending machine is a photo-electric FL PHOESE-I!I-g H ST. NE. chase of G CIGARS Va PINT SQUIBB MINERAL OIL FREE With the Pur- cell, which picks up an impulse from the letter, map, specification or other line drawing. This impulse is magnified about 70,000,000 times, ac- cording to engineers, and comes out in the receiving machine through a “percussion unit,” which has a tiny stylus which strikes blows. As the percussion arm or stylus strikes a carbon peper, or stencil blank wit tiny hammer blows, a master copy is created dot by dot. From the stepcils innumerable copies can be run off. Among Government agencies in- vited are the Agriculture Depart- ment, Procurement Division, Treas- ury Department, R. F. C. and Fed- eral Bureau of Investigation. The American Meteorological Society in machine can be used both locally in one room, to copy material, or by long distance to send by wire. STANDARDS Low PRricg _BOTTLE OF 24 a Pt. Bot.
