ATHEISM CAMPAIGN
OF RUSSIA EXPOSED
?
Details of Five- Year1 Plan
Never Fully Published.
New York, ? Details of a "flv'e-.vear
plan of atheism," never published In
full by the Soviet government, were
made known by Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of the Carnegie En
dowment for International Peace. The
organization received a report on the
plan. It was said, from a European
correspondent
The antl-rellgious decree, effective
last May 15, appeared In part In the
Advance Guard of Youth, described as
the Journal of the Pan-Unionist Com
mission Extraordinary for the Fight
Against Religion, according to the cor
respondent The complete decree Is
said to have 118 articles divided into
five sections, corresponding to the five
years. During the first year measures
were to be taken to close all religious
schools, academies and Catholic sem
inaries and to discontinue the teaching
of theology.

During the second year, the edict
Is quoted as saying, the campaign is
to be conducted' to the end that "from
May 1, 1087, there shall not remain a
single house of prayer in Soviet terri
tory. The very concept of 'God' will be
expelled from the Soviet Union as an
instrument to 'oppress the working
masses." *
From 1933, there is to be organized
a, drive against religion In the home

and rn the old conventB, -the corre
spondent says. "By October," he adds,
"it Is expected that all Soviet Institu
tions will be 'purified' through the ab
sence of persons holding religious be
liefs. The printing of religious books,
brochures and reviews for the use of
religious bodies will be rigorously for
bidden. The preparation of objects
necessary to religious worship will be
punished with extreme severity. Spe
cial attention will be given to the in
culcation of 'intelligent Irreliglon into
the psychology of the masses." Among
the things to be used are atheistic
films, of which at least 150 have al
ready been created.
3peed Up Atheism.
"During the third year greater ac
tivity is to be organized in atheistic
groups. During that year al) who give
religious Instruction who shall not
have renounced their religious posts
are to be expeUed from Soviet terri
tory.
"During the fourth year all churches,
synagogues and houses of prayer are
to be put in the hands of official Insti
tutions for the organization in these
buildings of cinemas, clubs and 'other
means of enlightened entertainment.'
"During the fifth and final year, the
previously achieved results In the
struggle against religious mentality
will be consolidated and developed."

Shrinkage in Licenses Less '
Than Was Expected.
New York.? That the automobile In
dustry has a firm basis for recovery is
indicated in a report issued by James
Daltop, editor of Motor. The experi
ence of 1932 shows that there is still
in operation one car for every six of
our population. The figures show that
the American people Regard their cars
as an essential part of their lives and
cling to them as long as possible. The
record of 1032 car registrations re
ported by Motor discloses that there
are still 20,02ft, 001 passenger cars In
operation in the United States. Count
ing the 8,253.202 trucks that are in
operation, the total is 24,182,383 ve
hicles, This represents a decrease of
1,031,720 car registrations, or 0.1 per
cent, from 1031, but Blnce 1032 marks
the culmination of the business reces
sion, the decline was less than might
have been expected. The trucks regis
tered In 1032 numbered 3,253,202,
which Is 0.1 per cent under 1031.
A drop of only 2,102,408 car licenses
from the 1020 peak Is an unexpectedly
small shrinkage and provides substan
tial evidence at the Importance of In
dividual transportation.
The editor of Motor points out that
the losses In passenger car registra
tions since 1020 reflect with fair ac

L?U Do*n of M?a,
University of Illinois.
Mr. Richard Lovell Edgeworth, the
rather of Maria of fictional fame, ac
cording to his hi
ograpber, was a
man of tremen
dous energy. He
was always tak
Ing up something
new, always inter
ested In some in
vention. He invent
ed all sorts of
things, and in a
score of ways he
did "almost pretty
well." He had a
theory that no mat
ter how old or ad-,
vanced ono be
came one should Improve himself
dolly.
"You can Improve," Mr. Edgewortb
used to tell his children, "every day
of your life. With this power of Im
provement you may In time be any
thing; without It you can be nothing."
It was a theory which he himself
did not always carry out. but it Is cer
tainly one worthy of the serious con
sideration of everyone.
Huntley Went out of business not
long ago, bankrupt. And yet I can
remember when he had the finest store
In town, the biggest trade in the line
of merchandise which he carried. He
was looked upon as one of the most
prosperous business men we had. But
he never Improved. \Vblle other men
were remodeling their business build
ings or adding new fronts with more
attractive plate glass windows, Hunt
ley made no change In the general ap
pearance of his store. Soon It began
to look like a back number ? out of
date, old-fashioned. He did not change
hi* stock or his methods to meet new
conditions. Some onfe came along
and started a rival Institution, and
soon Huntley's trade fell off, his en
thusiasm waned, he hegnn to lose
money and ultimately he was closed
out, and all because he didn't give his
mind to Improving every day.
Burroughs, twenty years ago, was
looked upon as a coming man In his
department of teaching. His lectures
were Illuminating, the book he was
getting out was the expression of the
latest thought In his field. His friends
were sure that by the time he reached
middle age he would be recognized as
one of the great' men In his field of
education. He gives about the same
lectures today he did twenty years
ago, and the things that were true
then are not true today.

A record collated by J. E. Ansell of
the Society of Genealogists shows
that one Abraham Lincoln was a
holder of land in Norfolk in tin
early part of the Eighteenth cen
tury. This record as published in the
Times tells how in 1720 Abraham Lin

Georgia St, Los An

sports, and at the
top In his "classes at
school. To look at
him now, you'd think
lie never had a day's
sickness but his mother says : "When
Leroy was just a little fellow, we
found his stomach and bowels were
weak. He kept suffering from con
stipation. Nothing he ate agreed
with him. He was fretful, feverish
and puny. *
"When we started giving him Cali
fornia Fig Syrup his condition Im
proved quickly. Ills constipation and
biliousness stopped and he has had
no more trouble of that kind. I have
since used California Fig Syrup with
him for colds and upset spells. He
likes It because It tastes so good and
I like It because It helps him so
wonderfully I"
California Fig Syrup has been the
trusted standby of mothers for over'
50 years. Leading physicians recom
mend It It is purely vegetable and
works with Nature to regulate, tone
and strengthen the stomach and
bowels of children so they get full
nourishment from their food and
waste is eliminated in a normal way.
Four million bottles used a year
shows how mothers depend on It Al
ways look for the word "California"
on the carton to be sure of getting
the genuine.
