Six Jus tices of the supreme court asaembled - In the east room to head the guest line at the Judi cial reception. The other three were at home abed, one with unsociability and two with colds. It waa only three days alter their rltal dec!' .alon against president Room velt'a AAA. Nat urally; the White House atmoa- .HI .MALLON moapherewes amusing. There waa something about Mr. Roosevelt formally receiving his Judicial oppositionists which made everyone, including the president, smile more Chan usual. . The six brave Justice shuttled through the blue room into the red President and Mrs. Roosevelt were waiting there to shake hands. As the Justices approached, two allowed their left hands to remain In their pants pockets, a natural thing with men In full dress. Secret service men approached them, tapped their trousers gently and lifted their hands out of their pockets. The movement waa so swift that the two Justices did not know what had happened, until thev rea lised with horror that they were po ' aibiy suspected or having weapons in their pockets. First they turned the color of the blue room, and then the red, and wound up in the green. They were furious, and' still are, although neither haa said a word out loud. Presidential guards have a rule that no one 'be permitted to approach the president with a hand concealed. This 1st a precautionary outgrowth of the MoKlnley experience. McKinley a as salient did not have hla . hands In his pockets, but he concealed a wea pon In the palm of hla hand under hesvy bandages. The quick frisking of distinguish sd White House guests la carried out with such dexterity that few except the guests realise what haa happened ' to them. No one knows whether the president wes aware of It on this occasion. The rule la not generally enforced against guests known to or trusted by the secret service men. They have been known to qulck-frlsk In fun. H may be a coincidence, but the ftooeevelt-We,llao5 groups have sim ilarly gone through the AAA decision and decided to agree that It was not loaded. That explains the formation of the new farm plan. In Its pres ent initial form, Its represents only an Idea. Changes may be expected In It dally until a final agreeable form la worked out. TJltimata details will determine whether It is constitutional or not. but no one will find out for aura until after the next election.

Bsrtlsm before the Medford Rotary club today at the meeting of that organization at the Hotel Medford. A targe attendance of Rotarlans, their wives and guests 'thoroughly enjoyed the discussion of the origin snd progress of Christianity from the ages of paganism. Included in the audience were a number of Rotarlana from Oranta Pass. Reverend Bartlam opened his re marks with a brief outline of the humble beginning and development of religion, explained the differ encea between paganism and Chrlst lsnlty and explained the essential contributions of Greek Life to Chrlatlanlty. "There has always been progression in religion, never retro gression" the spesker pointed out, after which he outlined the funda mental motives for this progression and the complexity of religion itself. Spirit worship, nature and fer tility worship and the beliefs of the msny cults were described by Rev. Bsrtlsm. The Arayan horde, he aald. mingled with the original inhabitants of Greece, bringing with them a new type of religion the worship of the sky, beauty and life Itself. The speculative thought of these people brought a desire for an explanation of the riddle of life. Christianity gave to falling pagan' Ism, with all of Its slavery and dls- pslr, a new force and hope. In summing up the Greek con' trlbutlons to Christianity, the love and glorification of Life with an eaaernuss for nerfectlon was first mentioned by Rev. Bsrtlsm. Dlvln ttles were made especlslly personal living persons, in fact, the apeax aald. The fundamental oreea idea of thinking through, clearly to logical conclusions, grestiy In fluenced the acceptance and spread of Christianity. Rev.
