of how~ far the machinery of the pre-

a world peace concert acceptable to

Thr01ighout:_tlic League fight, Mr.
Root advocated acceptance of the

and during his world court confer-
ence abroad. he cxprcsscd much faith
in some portions of the Covenant.
Details of his talk with Mr. Harding
today was not revealed. however.
both he and the president-elect say-
ing his rcc0mmcndations were entire-
ly confidential. In asking Mr. Root's
advice. Mr. Harding is understood to
have sought in particular for infor-
mation about, the practical working
of the League. as observed by the
former Secretary of State during his
visits to Europe. Questions on the
same subject. were put .bY MP5 Hard-
ing yesterday to Herbert Hoover, who
recommended that the Le-gue ma-

"‘The first Christians attended

said Rev. Mr. Howell. "I cannot see
anything wrong in people indulgingiu
amusements on the Sabbath; provided
it is decent amusement. ,and, if it
isn't. it shouldn’t be indulged in on
any day of the week." '

t This cTLTb‘ is nonsectnrian and non—

Judge Light briefly described the
English and German cities. and com-
pared them with our “own. and show-

Instead of framing our city charter
on the English or German plan, we
adopted a modified form of our Fed—

their well known checks and balance
