COOLIDGE GIVES ADDRESS
BEFORE CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH MEET IN WASH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21. (/P)
—President Coolidge today told the
annual council of Congregational State
Churches, more law and more religion
was needed in this country. He said:
“Lawlessness is too prevailent, and
the lack of respect for government and
the conventions of society are too ap
parent. If there are any general fail
ures of enforcement of the law it is*
because of society having first been a
general, .failure. I can conceive no
adequate remedy for the evils which
beset society except through the influ
ence of religion.”

VACATION—DRILLING OPER
ATIONS SATISFACTORY.
Seward arrivals from the Cold Bay
ail fields report the Standard Oil

taking their three month’s vacation
now, one month a year—or lose it
entirely, so naturally they are tak

the work, it is stated, the work pro
