ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1—<Spl>Res-
ponsibility for the rise in crime,
the decline in moral standards ami
the prevalence oí war during the
last 2S y cms iriHy bo largely traced
to a growing disregard of eternal
retribution, Dr Walter A. M ier of
Concordia Seminary declared yes
terday in his nation-wide Luther
an Hour broadcast.
"The belief in heaven and hell
Is disappearing," the noted theo
logian said. "Millions of people
kntm the word heaven' principal-
ly as another word in a popular
mng. or part of the title of a
moving picture Many are so con
earned with the material pleasures
oí this life that they spurn any

y and the grave Their philoi i.phy
of life call* fi no particular .stan-
dard of moralitv unci they are un-
wlUing to be bound by the res-
traints of God's word ."
As a consequence of this luglert.
the evangelist asserted, the last
quarter century has seen more
crime. Immorali'y and war than
any like period in human history.
He urged the churches to unit in
pulpit messages on the theme of
eternity and to remind ¿he peopte
that faith in the resurrected Christ
is tin* heavenly guide to eternal
salvation.
Referring to skeptics who que.s-
tion the authenticity and the di-
vine origin of the Bible, Or. Muier
rted that great thinkers of
churces, "I believe in
itury have humbly ack-
„ the truth of the state-
faith accepted by all
the resurrection of the body."

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2—Mexico
embarked today on a strong pol-
icy of continental solidarity back-
ed by her new president, 43-year-
old General Manuel Avila Cama-
cho, who was inaugurated yester-
day for a six year term.
"The entire continent, united un-
der the same principles and cover-
ing well every weak spot in it,
shall render itself invincible," the
nation's 46th president declared
in his inaugural address.
"It does not matter that many
of the nations are weak and
small. The fact remains that our
cause is a common one and that
our national economies, great and
small, the one joined to the other,
will strengthen themselves and
give the continent an economic
power which no one shall begin
to break down.
Henry A. Wallace, vleo presl
dent-elect of ' the United States,
who attended the ceremony as the
representative of his country, de-
clared in a broadcast to the United
States later that he was in com-
plete agreement with Avila Cam-
acho's "lofty sentiments of Pan
American solidarity.'' rtc compar-
ed the sentiments with those often
expressed by President Roosevelt.
The new president, a conserva-
tive, also announced plans to
create ministries of Labor and Ma-
rine, the latter, he said, to enable
Mexico to respond better to the
responsibility of defending her
coasts and establishing her own
naval bases. ,
Some in thf. audience regarded
this as an answer to reporta that
the United States was seeking to
establish bases in Mexico.
The inauguration was free of
disorder. About 30,000 soldiers,
police, firemen, military cadets,
armed peasants and militarized
workers and public employes guar-
ded the National Palace and the
Chamber of Deputies where
ceremony took place
<A telephone line carrying Avila
Cnmacho's address to the Uiáted
Stales for broadcasting broke down
and the Columbia Broadcasting
System and the Mutual Broadcast-
ing System reported they were In-
formed the lino apparently had
been sabotaged south of the U. S.
border. The American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, however,
said it was informed an electrical

cuit.
WEATHERMAJLHGWS
TO XMAS SHOPPERS
The weatherman and local mer-
chants combined their efforU to-
day to present shoppers Ideal con-
ditions in which to do their Dol-
lar Day and ChristmaB shopping.
The weather was sunny and
mild, the stores were iull of mer-
chandise at extraordinary Dollar
Day and Christmas prices and.
shoppers filled the stores in search
of these bargains.
W4th Christmas only 23 days
off and IB of these days for shop-
ing. many of the shoppers were
dóing their Christmas shopping as
vifell as Dollar Day buying.
Clothing stores especially were
b^irqg given a "big play" as local
shoppers took advantage of Dollar
prices. Predictions of colder
weather to come as well as Christ-
mas shopping, combined to create
the rush in buying.
By S:30 a. m. parking Bpace was
at a premium and local patrons
were frequenting the stores in in-
creasing numbers to fill their shop-
ping needs.
The business district had a holi-
day air with most of the stores
displaying Christmas merchandise
amid Christmas decorations, and
Main street was undergoing a face
lifting as workmen put forth ef-
forts to quickly complete the
Christmas decorating and lighting
of the thoroughfare.

With the creation of the High-

roads with only a few miles of
paving adjacent to the larger cit-
ies.

in tne intervening years has in-
