ABRAMS IS
AGAIN PRAISED
Scientific Investigators
; Shows Conviction Of
Something New
LONDON. Jan. 17. W Dr.
AbraiuH1 "mafic hox" which moat

.utn Hi"! limelight a (a In through a rs
port bv a committee of scientific In
vestigators, which If correctly report
ed liy today a Dally Express, showi
they are convinced that there 1
''something new and wondorftil" li
connection with the. box, which al'
though not yet understood, make
further taveattgatlon desirable. They
are represented aa eayinf that thi
research bolda "great potentlilltiea'
and la worthy of active financial sup
Dort.
Member! of the committee Inrlud
es Sir Thomas Horder, tha Prince of
Wales' Dhysiciun, known aa a cance
expert, and Dr. C. li. Ileald, medical
: advisor to the director of civil avia
tion.
I The committee's report read last
nicbt at a meeting of the Royal Ho
cicty of Medicins suys that friends of
the committeemen had warned them
that it would be Inexpedient to nub
lish the results of their investigation.
but after consideration they bad da
elded to disregard this advice, "be
cause nothing but good can coma from
publication and 'work conducted In a
. spirit of scientific sincerity and of
wh ch full details ara given.'
They make it clear, however, that
their report In no wise licenses any
body to claim that the box hai cura
' tive powers. The Express says those
listening to the report wera Inclined
to believe that the discovery may
' eventually prove to ba nothing less
; than a new form or. energy.
I The late Dr. Albert Abrams of
Ban Francisco, who some yesra ago,
announced thst electrons were the
basis of life and tie foundation of
heslth, invented an instrument called
the rcflexoDbone by the use of which,
he maintained, he could detect cancer,
tuberculosis and other diseases. Diag
nosis of a specimen of blood he said,
would reveal not only the presence of
: diseases but also the, age of the sul
i ject, his race and the probable length
' of Ibis life. It was bis theory that,
' after disease had been detected by
his method, a euro could be effected
by means of another Instrument call'
' ed the oscllloclast, which UBed elec
tric waves to offset other waves with
in the body.
Dr. Abrams bad many followers
and his theory won the support of
some prominent men, although it wai
denounced by the American Medical
association. A special committee, act
lng for the Scientific American, after
a year of Inquiry made public a ro
. port last August In which the Abrams
electronic reaction theory was pro-
uo.mccd unfounded. 1

The Texas rangers, credited with be
iog one of the most fesrless law en
forcing orgsnizationa found soywht-rc
in Uie world and America'a first con
atabulary force, today, is threatened
with elimination. A district court yea
terday ruled that the law cresting the
ranger force unconstitutional ,and en
joined the organization from further
range activities.
For more than 00 years, this group
of men, originally numbering l.V)
never more than 1000 members, sod
at present but BO, has had a record of
enforcing the law to the utmost. Or
ganized first to protect homesteaders
in the. wilderness of southwestern
Texas, its work has been changed to
suit the times and of recent yeara, it
has apprehended law violators and
criminals. Kor the first time since its
inception, its work was at a stand
still today.
The history of the ranger force ex
tends Into thee provincial days after
Texas bas declared Its independence
from Mexico sod before the republic
of Texas was organized, when the
land between the Sabine and Hio
Grande rivers was considered ''no
men's land."

New York and other states were pat.
terned after the Texas rsngers, who
have a motto of "get your man." Tho

Fundamentalism vs
Modernism Subject
EUGENE, Ore., Jan. 17. (To The
Guard) Hardlr do we listen to a
sermon or read a paper unless thia
Item of fundamentalist vs modernist
is before us in a contraversal atti
tude. Jesus told Nicodemus: "If I
have told you earthly things, and ye
believe not how sball ya believe, if
l ten ye of heavenly things."
Right here is the solution. But
one faction commences to study the
earthly or material things, snd never
stops to consider the heavenly or
spiritual things. Down, down they
go like a mole never ceasing and
takes at last down to utter darkness.
The other faction ascends to heav
en like a skyrocket and after a little
while explodes into hundreds of beau
tiful denominstions accomplishing
nothing but pitiful consternation,' that
people gase at.
Repentance, faith, regeneration and
sanctification of a human being bas
been proven over and over again
through experience which only the ig
norant will deny. Just as well as the
circulation of the blood, nervous sys
tem, frame and sinews of our body.
Jt our preachers were educated in
our esrthly composition, and our pro
fessors in our spiritual composition
the strife, would cease, and the spirit
ot uoa would eniighton both sides, to
the enlightenment and progress of
humanity. "A house divided against
itself must fall," and gives us one
calamity after another.
Adam and Eve were to elevate them
out of Eden to their standard.
through tha fall they were dragged
down to the standard of the outsid
ers. After Cain had slain his brother,
and tlod condoms him of his crime
Cniu tells God, his deed wss too ter
rlblo to bear and everyone who meets
him will kill him. Hera is revealed
unto us in a few words that other
people are living on ths earth. Cain
Intermarries with them, and the re
sult was the deluge, which however,
we cannot consider universal. All
descendeots of Adam and Eva to
gether with those, that intermarried
with them were downed, except Noah
and his fsmily. But the Mongolian
and nogro racea were not. To claim
the negrna descendants of Adam Is
poor fiction. The C'aiiaanitcs were
not black.
The Chinese have a civilization old
er than the flood, but ot their origin
tney nave no knowledge. Mnvhe they
and the negroes descended from the
sprs. e don t know, neither do
they or the monkeys. Hero tho mod-1
ernist or materialist may or may not I
be right.
Both the Mongolisne and negroes
sre now accepting the OoaneL but,
mind you under the protection of :
L hristtsn nations.
We have yet much to learn. It al
most seems, that the only one, who
never slnued must coma again to
solve the problem for us.
