Li CIVILIAN USE OF UNIFORMS body War Department Suggests Ways to' Avoid Violating the Law. war veterans who are wearing parts of their service uniforms and others who have bought used uniforms may avoid violating the law forbidding the wearing of official uniforms by civilians by observing cerstain precautions which the War department outlined. The easiest way to avoid violating the law: is to remove the military buttons and insignia. To dye the uniform or change the cut will also give immunity, The War department does not consider that dyeing is the only way to make a coat or overcoat lose its distinctive character. Any radical alteration would have the same effect as, for example, a distinct change in the cut of the collar, the addition of different-colored cuffs or collar or of a cloth belt.

Any of these changes, provided that alt insignia and buttons have been removed, will satisfy the War department. Watch Won't Wake Dead; Owner Jailed Miami, Fla.

Only for Flat. worms- -Case of Regression Cited. interest in the offdiscussed question whether or not it is possible to keep old age at bay indefinitely and correspondingly prolong the span of life bas been revived by Prof.

Julian Huxley of Oxford. is a Inherits grandson of the inconsiderable great Huxley tian no -mensure of hits talent for painstaking setentific research. "The common-sense view of the life cycle, drawn from the observation of man and the familiar said Prof. Huxley, "Is that it proceeds always and inevitably in a definite direetion, with a definite plan. The nor mal life eyele of man, for instance, is as follows: The individual starts as a minute single cell, then follows a period of rapid growth, accompanied by differentiation, then senility, and finally death, which supervenes as a natural phenomenon, even if through disease or accident." Process Not "Irreversible." Experiments had shown, however, that this process was not irreversible, he said, and was not inevitably similar in all animals; that it was pos.

sible to modify, the rate of growth and the length of the period of growth and thus prolong life. "It has been shown." Prof. Huxley continued, "that by alternately starving and feeding planarian flatworms they can be kept not only within certain definite limits of size, as was to be expected, but also within certain definite limits of age. One animal has thus been kept of the same age that Is, the same lively activity, the same form, the same type of for a time during which the rest of the brood have passed through 19 generations: a period which, translated into human terms, would take us back to Chaucer. Thus, age does not merely depend on the lapse of time; it is the expression of internal processes.

"The elixir of life so long sought in the Middle ages has at last been found--but, alas! only for flatworms." Cites Case of Regression. As an illustration of reversal in mental life Prof. Huxley mentioned that in some shell-shock and neuralgia cases the patients revert to an earlier stage mental existence, having the minds of children in the bodies of adults. "The most striking case," he said, "was that of an Australian sol dier who reverted to the condition of an infant, unable to walk or talk, and taking no food except milk. This is known as mental regression." Professor Huxley held that numerous other examples showed that the irreversibility of the life cycle was only apparent and that the ordinary type of life cycle had been adopted as the most convenient but not as the only possible method of grappling with existence.

In the case of mammals the normal life of rats had been prolonged about 40 per cent. "Observation of life process," said Prof. Huxley in conclusion, "has given way to experiment as the chief method of research and experiment is leading to control." GIRL OF 15.

TINUED ONE WEEK LONGER OWING TO INCREASED INTEREST It is said that Henry Ward Beecher preached on nearly every the Bible, except the crucifixion, for he did feel competent to adequately portray the awful scene.

Ministers generally hesitate to preach on this difficult subject. Bistiop Isaac W. Joyce said that in a ministry of more than forty years he had never attempted to preach on the crucifixion. It seemed to tower above him as a mountain of such overwhelming proportions that he had never attempted! to scale its slippery and bloody sides in the effort to reach its lofty summit, hidden in clouds and darkness. Few have ever heard a sermon on the crucifixion since few ministers ever attempt to preach on it.

This was the subject which Mr. James chose last night and gave a detailed description of the arrest, trial and erucifixion of Jesus with the application that, our sins as individuals, the sins of humanity, were responsible for the crimson tragedy on Calvary centuries The sermon was listened to close attention by a very large audience and at its close several people came forward to the altar and others arose. for prayers. The speaker said Christ was betrayed for money; Judas was the treasurer. and was avaricious.

So men today for money will institute a public dance by which young girls are ruined. Men will run a theatre as he did by which they are ruined. Some people will do anything. for money. Pilate sent, Je: sus to the cross because he was, afraid he would lose his position as' Governor if he refused.

Place and money meant more to him than justice and right and for them he would crucify God's own Son. The people chose Barabbas, the criminal and murderer instead of Jesus and Pilate allowed them' to do it. He was of the gang, afraid of their ridicule" and power. Barabbas that the crowd chose, represented the world, represented filth and degradation. Those who sympathize with law violation of the liquor traffic today and stand up for booze are choosing Barabbas.

The gang can laugh you into hell, but cannot laugh you out. Some say, my business first- away with Christ. His business was in the speaker's way when convicted of sin nine years ago. How can I live if I give up the theatre business? This was the question. What will the gang say? They did laugh and ridicule; they did say, "Do not take religion so seriously." One who ridiculed ended his life in a lunatic asylum within a comparatively short time.

Many have come to grief since. The others do not laugh now. since nine years have gone by and they have seen what it has meant to James to, be a Christian. Pilate washed his hands in the vain attempt to be, neutral. There can be no neutrality when Jesus is on our hands.

We must dispose of him by either accepting or rejecting him. Dante pictured the lowest, place in hell as the place reserved for the man who tries to be neutral. Jesus died pot from the effect of the mails but of a broken heart which was: proved by the fact that both water and blood flowed from the wound when the spear was thrust into his side. Men lived from two to three days on the cross but Jesus died in 6 hours. His heart; broke.

That heart broke for you and me. Our sins are responsible for it. He bore the sins of all mankind on the tree. If we reject him. we are as guilty as those who struck him and beat him until his eyes were closed and the blood spattered on the ground, as guilty as those that nailed him to the cross.

What. will we do with Jesus that is called Christ There will be services tonight at 7 o'clock and Sunday morning and evening; also all next week except on Monday night. The Epworth League will have a sunrise prayer meeting in the church at 6:30 Sunday morning and breakfast in the church. Over 500 are expected at Sunday selfool.
