There are more treasure hunters In the state today than when the Spaniards searched for the seven cities of Cflbola. " Police .have been called lately to curb the activities of two serts of treasure hunters here. One group was captured in a ca've on a farm one night as they were pre Iaring' to dig for buried gold. They promised to stay off tha rancher's land. Another and more mysterious group has? eluded detectives. Four armed nven have been digging at nigh for some time along Menger Creek, and all investigators have been scared away by gunshots. De tectives who went to the scene one night found a hole 70 feet deep, with tunnels driven out in many directions. When they re turned with ropes and ladders, the hole had been fHHed. but prepara tions had been made to dig at a nearbv. spot! The men-are be lieved, to be i seeking treasure which legend eays missionarlfts burled long ago. Probably, no state In the unton has as many legends of buried wealth as Texas. The conquista dors came in search of wealth, and 'their quest gaye rise to a cycle of legends concerning Ind'an trea sure houses. The conquistadors brought the missionaries, who ac cumulated some wealth which they are supposed to have buried In times of trouble. ' Jean Laflte. irate, who (made his headquarters on Galveston Is land, is supposed to have burled a ship load of treasure when the government drove him away from the coast, and th Pegend has In spired hundreds of treasure, seek ers.

(AP) The Vatican has renewed its attempt, begun in the sixteenth century, to convert " the Russia Orthodox church to Roman Catholicism through the aid of the Polish Catholic clergy and the formation of an "Eastern-Slav Cult." In 1595 when the union 'be tween Poland and Lithuania em bodying the present Eastern marches of Poland was definitely confirmed through an official act in Brest a new cult was estab lished to win over to Catholicism the Orthodox population of these marches. The cult was named "Union Church" or "(treek Catho lic cult." It was something like a. bridge between the two creeds, ac cepting all dogma of the Catholic religion, but maintaining a num ber of outer forms of the Ortho dox church, such as communion under the two symbols of wine and bread, and marriage of priests. The Jesuits soon were es tablished in the east of, Poland and Catholicism became the main religion of its population. After the partitions of Poland one part of the Polish territory with adherents of the Union church passed to Russia and the otner to Austria. Austria never persecuted the Union church, which has survived in the territory and is the religion of the bulk of Ukrafnians living in Galicia. Rus sia, however, saw in the Union church an obstacle to russificatlon and prohibited it by reconverting by force its adherents to the Or thodox church. The conversion to Catholicism in these lands is based on the prin ciple that the converts accept all dogma of the Roman Catholic Creed, but maintain without any change the outer form of the Rus sian Orthodox church, so church buildings, dresses . of priests, prayers and services all remain without any change. The power given to Bishop Przezdslecki In December, 1923. was extended in 1925 to all Polish Bishops In the east, and for the time being they succeeded In converting 20,000 people and to form 14 parishes. Twenty five priests work for the new cult, 16 former Russian Or thodox priests, two Uniats and seven Roman Catholic priests. The new cult, name a Eastern Slav cult, contrary to the Union church will have no separate hier archy. Parishes will depend on Roman Catholic bishops, together with all Roman Catholic parishes of the diocese. The Jesuits were Invited once again to this conver sion activity, and they try to (Continued on pjte C.)

Students of genetics found In the """National Dairy Exposition at Memphis, Tenn.. Oct. 15. to $2, an oppor-; turtity for further investigation of J the fifth vitamin, believed by some to be inextricably linked with the fertility of reproductive organs. The element', known as Vitamin E. has been found in sprouted oats While tests have not been exten sive enough for definite conclu sions, the method; is said to' give positive results. Federal dairy ex perts have corrected breeding dif ficulties in cows and heifers by a systematic feeding of the germin ated grain. Bulls have been reju venated and their potency main tained by the same process. i R. R. Graves, in charge of dairy cattle breeding investigations, ex plains that sprouted oats, are fed with a view to correcting a nutri tive deficiency rather than to over come sterility caused by patholo gical conditions. In their' undomesticated state, Graves says, animals have a breed ing season which accords closely with the ' spring flush . of new grass. Under modern methods cows and heifers are bred at all times of the year. Many cases of nonbreeding may. be due to func tional disorders occasioned by the high state of .domesticity in which the natural breeding season is ig nored. The beneficial effect of sprouted oats may be due to stimulation of dietary conditions natural to the normal breeding period. j Graves supplied the exposition with data on the probability of an increased milk flow from sprouted oats rations, recently investigated It is known that the Bureau of Animal Industry puts sufficient f-aith In the theory to plan active practice this winter on the exper imental farm at Beltsville, Md It was at Beltsville tnat the ef feet of sprouted oats was observed in connection with genetic irregu larities.

BIBLE AND SCIENCE IN ACCORD: BELIEF (l Life and Its Origin Not Problems In Laboratory" ' Says Prof essorj PES MOINES, la. (AP) Many passages of the Blble contain thoughts that conform exactly to modern scientific truths, declares Dr. E. O. Kaserman, new head of the biology department at De Moines University. Des Moines university now is owned (by the Baptist , Bible Union, a strictly fundamentalist organiza tion. Br. Kasejrman describes himself as a non-evolutionist rather than an anti-evolutionist He takes the attitude that evolu tion has not been proved, rather than it does not exist. He is completing a volume , on "The Biology of the Bible," and says he has found the Bible con sistent with the latest develop ments in the science of biology. From the first chapter of Gene sis, he said, the Bible "accurately depicts the natural and physical world as well as the spiritual life. "In the fourth chapter of Eze kiel," he continued, a mainten ance ration is described. It is entirely accurate from the point of view of modern dietetics. "Many of the Proverbs would do credit to -a first class psys lology -professor today." Scattered through the book are references to plant life that are scientifically correct. In Exodus are found di rections for the sanitation of the camp of the Israelites that would be up-to-date if phrased differ ently.

Dr. Kaser man declares, has gojfve from sup ernaturlism. the' belief In a higher being, to' naturalism, the acceptance of only the tangible, without realizing that the human being is more than animal. j The prevalent misunderstand ing arises j when -j people i confuse biology w?th evolution, which has to do only with originals," he said. "Evolution is; not a bio logical, but a philosophical and speculative problem. Biology gives its attention only to what can be found 5n the laboratory.
