It is not at all impossible, also, to conceive of all the citizens in the United States listening in on the next presidential Inaugural address," eald Mr. Neilsen of the Nellsen Radio SuddIv licensed under the call letters KFAD. The General Convention is a large Aitd heterogenous body with men of Next, he mentioned the broadcasting station of Smith Hughes and company.

This station broadcasts music, weather reports and stock market most perfect service that we now have in the Prayer Book. The commission hopes and expects that the clergy during the period that will elapse before the next convention meets, will make use of the changes tentatively adopted and allowable and thus test the value and admirability of a revision ot the Prayer Book. The National Council The somewhat cumbersome and easily misunderstood title of the "Presiding Bishop and Council" has been changed to "The National Council," andthene was some reorganization of this body. After a somewhat prolonged ballot Bishop of Tennessee, who had formally declared he would not be a candidate, was finally re-elected President of the Council. The program is divided into two parts, the Budget and Priorities.

The former has to do smith the maintenance of existing work, and the latter with Church extension. The program contemplated the procuring" and expending of $6,000,000 for the current year 1923, but as there has been an unusually large deficit for 1922 there is no likelihood of any money being obtained from the General Treasury for Priorities unless they are specially designated for such objects by individual givers, organizations and parishes. This will necessarily interfere with certain building projects in our own district, some of which are imperative at the present time and to which future reference is made in this address. But we must endeavor to do our best that not only these undertakings of our own shall unselfishly as it doee. with the limited amount of money at its disopsal.

It has never refused any appeal made by vour Bishop and many of our Churches and Parish Houses and Rectories have been made possible by this generous and unfailing support. The only required offering for diocesan missions is that made on Good Friday. This should not be confused with the offering for the Bishop's Fund at the time of his regular visitation for Confirmation. Church Unity A step forward was taken by the Convention towards Church Unity by continuing the Commission on Faith and Order, looking forward to the calling of the World Conference in Washington in 1925. An even more important forward step of a practical nature was taken by the adoption of amendments to the Constitution and Canons, making possible under certain conditions the ordination by our Bishops of ministers not in the service of this Church.

This is the outcome of what has been known as the Congregational Concordat. With that body of Christians we are perhaps more in sympathy along theological lines than with any other, as both Churches are marked by a liberal interpretation of Christian doctrine. In aims and spirits, shall I say in taste and reverence of worship and conduct, we are much in sympathy with them. While in Church government we seem far apart, yet for this very reason, the independence of the Congregational Church in laying little stress upon orders makes it possible reports every night from seven to eight o'clock. The station at Neilsen Radio Sup ply company is known as KFCB, he many minds, and while there is little accomplished in spite of much discussion, which is also true of many egislative bodies, notably the Con-gret-s of the United States and our own State Assembly where we have to be thankful oftentimes for the foolish things left undone, even if we cannot rejoice over some wise ihings that are not Esif cially noteworthy was the fine sermon of the Bishop of Newark delivered at the opening session to several thousand people who had as-semblt in the largest hall in Portland for this most impressive service.

"We Intend to put out special programs of interest to Boy Scouts, grade and high school activities, and will also broadcast all boxing matches, blow by blow, from the ringside of the Phoenix Athletic LONDON, April 14 Signs that Great Britain is planning to devote a great deal more attention to aviation, both civil and mlltary. were to be noted during the two days' sessions of the Third Air Conference just ended. Although only one resolution was passed, calling upon th government to give immediate consideration to the foundation of an air mail service throughout the empire, there was a great deal ot serious talk about flying possibilities by speakers who knew their subjects, whether technical or political. All of them emphasized the absolute necessity England's maintaining a pace in aviation equal to that of any other nation, both, from the point of view of commercial flying and the part aerial tactics will play in future military affairs.

Service to New York Phrases such as "regular 12-hour passenger service between London and New York." and "large fleets of electrically directed airplanes carrying high explosives, traveling without pilots at night, perfectly silent both as to their propellers and engines, carrying death to any town on which they might descend," were used as arguments in favor of government assistance in aerial development. These arguments were advanced no less strongly by government officials than by prominent technicians and persons who might be Interested in any government subsidy that may be decided upon. There are two principal obstacles in the way of aerial developmeent on a large scale; the government's budget is full of necessary items of no mean magnitude, and there has been considerable rivalry between the royal air force and the admiralty as to which should hold the dominant position in the development of such new schemes. Besides, as was pointed out by Sir Samuel Hoare, secretary of state for air, there is the obstacle of "after-war confusion in the He had reference particularly to tho fact that Germany is not a signatory to the air convention, which has control over civil aviation in European countries, and until there are amendments to international regulations governing commercial aviation, there will be limitations to its development. These amendments are expected to be effected very shortly.

Strong arguments were advanced from the point of view of economy. Commander Charles Denniston Bur-ney, member of parialeraent for Middlesex, pointed out that 18 airships could be produced for the cost of on battleship, that nine airships could do the work of 60 cruisers, thereby saving the sum of 51,000,000 pounds sterling, and that per square mile of reconnoissance. airships would do for 25 shillings what it would take 77 pounds to do with cruisers. It was a somewhat lengthy and exhaustive address, fearless, progressive, tii arid deeply spiritual in its cliarar u.r and gave the keynote 'o the later proceedings of the Con-ltrntion. Prayer Book Revision great deal of time was given the report of the commission on T.e revision of the Prayer Book, and spite of (iie natural conservatism company, when interviewed on radio recently.

Mr. Neilsen told how important radio is to ships, and gave the radio compass as an example. This wireless means as much to a ship today as the compass did to ships in past years. The compass will give a ships position ninety-nine per cent accurate within one hundred, miles, while within twenty-five miles, the compass ill make only one-fourth of one per cent error. Mr.

Neilsen remarked about the. recent nine day fog off the New Foundland Banks, in which 100 ships were given their bearings by radio. Each ship made port without delay. Without the radio compass, this feat wound have been Impossible. When asked about inexpensive receiving sets, he replied: "Any boy can build for one dollar a simple set that will receive concerts at a distance of fifteen miles.

The only additional equipment necessary beside the set would be a pair of head phones and a single wtre stretched across the back yard. 25 or 30 feet above the ground." He added that a complete receiver, mounted in a mahogany cabinet, with phones, antennae material and a lightning arrester, could be bought for twenty dollars. Mr. Neilsen told something about the radio broadcasting stations in go forward, but that we shall make for them to accept Episcopal ordina- tributed to their increasing wisdom but doctors are now prompt to disillusion those who believe it pointing out that the body tissues can absorb enough mineral during 40 years of cosmetic activity, to cause a partial paralysis of the muscles of the mouth and eyes. Thus, say "henpecked" husbands, has the great cosmetic evil come to relieve suffering husbandom.

It was not an uncommon sight in the early history of cosmetics to see a Caucasian woman of black pigment since the bismuth, in face powder when exposed to sulphur vapor, sulphur water or even the odor of onions, caused a chemical reaction which darkened the skin. Irregardless of the many evil results of cosmetic applications, the American Indian always painted before going on the warpath in the belief that it aided in conquest. If an increase in cosmetic sales between 1900 and 1910 of 10 per cent is any indication of the success of woman's warpath, it seems that the statement of Kipling that "the female of the species is deadlier than the male" is fast becoming fact rather than fiction. Not all men however can be conquered by its use as is shown by a recent decree of the school board in a California high school that a high school girl should have her picture withheld from the school annual because of the use of cosmetics. The state superintendent of Kansas schools has warned all members of the teaching fraternity that their certificates would be repealed should they be found guilty of such a misdemeanor.

Today, on every hand, or from every hand we hear the soft "pat," "pat" of the powder puff as it falls, and the query of its manipulator, "Is it on straight?" The puff may be decorated or undecorated, it may be the latest thing or it may not, for there are fads of fancy puffs, compact powders, sizes and shapes of vanity bags ranging rom a tiny metal box to a suitcase in size, and fads as to the effects to be obtained by the application of cosmetics, but according to Edgar A. Guest: "A woman is queer, there's no doubt about that She hates to be thin and she hates to be fat. One minute it's laughter, the next it's a cry. Tou can't understand hep however you try, But there's on thing about her that everyone knows, A woman's not dressed till, she powders her nose." club," said Mr. Neilsen.

The regular program of KFCB is given on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from eight to nine o'clock. When questioned on the rapid growth of the radio telephone, Mr. Neilsen answered: "At this time two years ago, Phoenix could occasionally listen in on radiophone conversation between Catalina and Long Beach, California. A year ago, at this time, there were six stations in the United States handling regular programs. The last issue of "Radio" states that there are now five hundred and ten active broadcasting stations in the United States, the state of California.

leading with sixty." In speaking of the general study of radio, he concluded: "It teaches a boy to think. He knows that unless he does a good job ha cannot expect the best results and unless he is careful, he may make mistakes that are expensive." WHATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD Week's News Events Briefly Told cf Chunli considerable progress I '-portrd. We shall not have the Revised Prayer Rook until after the 'ieneral Convention meets in 1928, five years hence. But certain changes already tentatively adopted are allowable, although subject to future, ratification. One may rejoice ihat in the office for Baptism there is a prospect of eliminating the words that have shocked so many -in the very opening words of the '-ervicf; when loving and faithful parenrs.

men and women of purity of iif. have brought their innocent to dedicate them to the service r.f Christ and His Church, and are told that they hive been conceived and born in sin. This monkish idea is totally untrue, as usually ii iulf rstood. and is an insult aimed at the sacrament of marriage. We can explain it in the spirit of a liberal interpretation of the doctrine of original bin, but it will certainly be open to misunderstanding.

In the Marriage Service we witness recognition the equality of the exes and a higher perception of the and real character of the. tchest and most sacred of life's re-! itionshipsy v. hen the wife j. no longf-r asked to obey husband, which in tin-bo days feminism few enif ri ever do, and the husband is iot required to endow her With all lis wordiy goods, which very few en have ever done. In ovne cases 1 worldly goods have "cioige.i entirely to the wife.

The final prayer will be improved leaving out the reference to Isaac Kebecca. who, while they were from the polygamous relations By CHARLES P. STEWART By RUTH SPRAGUE When desiring to show the authenticity of- a definition one quotes Websters New International dictionary. This authority tells us that the word "cosmetics" signifies any "external application to beautify the complexion, skin or hair." Truly a small definition, so small in fact that when one realizes the immense scope of these "external applications" and that in 1920, 60 millions of dollars was expended for them or a 11.50 for each woman in the country, he is inclined to believe that were Mr. Webster alive today he would devote more space to the subject.

When desiring further proof of the veracity of any statement one quotes the Holy Scriptures. "We find that even on this seemingly trivial subject they throw some light. They contain the first written record of the use of any compounds for beautifi-cation with the exception of water the universal beautifier recognized by all the world's inhabitants with the exception of small boys. Even in the Garden of Eden, cosmetics may have existed. Since the Good Book does not state by what means the serpent beguiled Eve, drawing conclusions from woman's present day one feels almost justified in saying that it may have been cosmetics.

First Used Ages Ago However, in Greek legends of days thousands of years before monkey glands were to be used to rejuvenate ancient members of the human race. Media "restored the bent and wrinkled face of Jason's father to the lustry beauty of manhood." From Webster's definition this facial treatment was none other than a cosmetic application, and again tends to show that "the men start everything," or at least that they began the movement to accomplish the impossible to make woman more beautiful. Jason's father, nevertheless seems to have lived and prospered but when, in Biblical times, as recorded in the thirteenth verse of the ninth chapter of second Kings, the woman Jezebel, expecting a man to whom she wished to make a good impression, "painted her face and looked out of the window," punishment and retribution may have overtaken her in the form of a tragic death. While the application of cosmetics was not a habit nor a necessity in the days of Pericles, when the orgies and the unwholesome manner of living necessitated the habit of using excessive quantities of red and white paint to imitate the complexion of youth," the same habit, to attain the same end. has since continued.

Practice Spreads Rapidly The warning of the saints that "the Creator would not recognize his image in a painted countenance" was heeded by women of the early Chris-tion era, but when, in the early part of the sixteenth centrury, women began to decree their rights in a whisper, and the bold and brazen began to powder and rouge in secret, the use of cosmetics spread gradually until the bold leaders of fashion actually carried their lfcautifying preparations and powdered between acts at the theater. But of course, any woman who did so was thought to be sentencing her soul to eternal torture and taking spiritual life into her own handg. And as some of those ladies ascertained to their consternation and suffering, they not only took their spiritual life into their own hands but their earthly life as well, since in that age the foundation of modern death dealing "hooch'' was also the base of death dealing cosmetic compounds whose other ingredient was largely carbonate of lead. Although no casualty list has ever been compiled, a great many pioneers in the art of facial adornment suffered the death penalty for their vanity, so it is easily seen that it required as much physical courage for a lady to "powder her face" as it now requires for a man "to face the powder." As a preservative nothing surpasses wood alcohol. Perhaos ancient cosmetic manufacturers Realized the fact enough to take advantage of it for use in preserving a youthful appearance.

The fact that the muscles of a woman's face increasingly fall into disuse and cause hejr to talk less as she grows older has long at- a persistent effort to meet our part of the national quota this year, which I am confident we can db and will do. and thus be entitled to a place on the honor lit. which so far no missionary district has attained to and only two or three dioceses. While the Council has been unable in recent years to contribute to building projects in Arizona, it has been generous in supporting and extending our work along other lines. It must 'be remembered however, that the Bishop cannot turn these contributions designated for special work to undesignated objects, much as he might desire in some cases to do so.

But he is endeavoring now to lighten the burden resting upon the Council by returning a certain amount of what has been promised to us, as he has done in previous years, and also to reduce his Budget of Askings for the coming year of 1924. We were fortunate in having the Bishop Coadjutor of Los Angeles to lead our Conference on the Nationwide Campaign last November and we shall hope to have a similar conference in the autumn of this year, which is most helpful In preparing for the campaign and also in bringing the clergy and other workers together for discussions and other matters, and the promoting of good comradeship, which has always been characteristic of our relations in this district. The adoption of the Duplex Envelope System is now becoming almost universal with us and the results are seen in our increased contributions for parochial and general objects. With the stress laid upon the quota, for the National Council your Bishop has not made heavy demands upon the parishes and missions for the diocesan work. But he does ask that the Resolutions adopted by the Convocation covering special offerings on certain days in the Church year shall be cheerfully and universally followed.

These are printed on the last page of the Journal and the days are carefully selected so as to interfere only slightly with the regular offerings for parish purposes. Especially should your attention be called to the offering for the American Church Building Fund Commission on Ash Wednesday or the first Snnday in Lent. This Commission I--' been one of the most efficient of all in promoting the missionary work "'h it ch, working nobly and peril looms far more deadly than tne Japanese ever did to California.

While the High Church Presbyterians, believing in the apostolic succession of Presbyters as much as we do in the apostolic (succession of Bishops, as well as their more rigid doctrinal system, find it difficult to draw near to us in union. Nor do I see much hope of reaching the other Protestant bodies at the present time inasmuch as in the closing session of the Convention we gave a slap to the Federation of Churches, to which they are so deeply attached. This was caused by lack of one vote, I believe, in the House of Deputies, which seems now to have taken the pJace of the House of Bishops as the conservative body. While there is still no hope of unity with the Roman Catholics, unless we let them swallow us whole according to the ancient parable of the lion and the lamb, yet there is rapidly growing the idea and the reality of unity with the historic Greek or Eastern Church. While we differ radically in many ways.

largely due to the different races with which we are allied, yet in our conception of the orders of the ministry and in other ways we are drawing, more closely together. This is shown here in Arizona, as elsewhere, by the constant calling of our clergy to minister to members of the Eastern church when heir- own. Ministers are not available. Our 'Churches, as well as our Ministrations, should always be open to them. How practical.

steps towards Church Unity may be at the present moment is problematical owing to the disorganization of the Eastern Orthodox Church, especially in Russia, where its chief strength lies, and in fact throughout the whole Eastern world. Marriage and Divorce This perennial question was once more before the Convention. It is a most difficult problem, as the law of the Church is in conflict with the law of the land. The ideal is the indissoluble character of the marriage relation, but we cannot shut our eyes to the degradation of compelling a man and woman to live together when hatred has taken the place of love, and untold horrors mark this relationship. There should be legal separation, but the question of remarriage is another matter and should not be allowed, except for grave reasons.

The easy Divorce Laws of most of our states are a disgrace and worse than Reno is Paris today where rich Americans resort to sever their marital relations for the most trivial causes. Marriage itself should be made more difficult. Especially to be commended was the resolution asking legislatures to puss laws forbidding the marriage of the physically and mentally unfit. Let us hope that the time is not far distant when men and women will be glad to voluntarily submit to such an examination before they enter upon this relationship. The question of Birth Control is a most difficult matter and must be left to the individual conscience of men and women, but men and women have no right to enter into the marriage relation without realizing the primary reason for which it was established, and they have no right to shirk those responsibilities which are required by the laws of their natural constitution.

The Ministry Your attention should be called at least briefly to the growing interest cannot o-ienu lhv 'felt of Isaac on a memorable occasion in his history any more than we can defend the scurvy trick of Re-V'cca in substituting one son for other to receive the birthright from the blind and dving father.

There was not a chance of the scheme's endorsement by the more important American countries, and before anv of them, except terms with Germany. The press is fearful now, France having shouldered all the expense and trouble and taken all the risks of the Ruhr occupation, that outsiders will try again to prevent her from getting the full benefit of that, too. This, some of the papers say quite frankly, is why the French are so suspicious of mediation. They have an idea the mediators will think more about their own interests than they will about France's. They mention this as the main reason why a settlement's delayed.

Chairman Fletcher of the North American group declared his country unfavorable to leagues, thus forestalling, at least on one ground, the frequently made South American complaint that the United States seeks to dominate the New World.
