ALASKA COLLEGE STUDENTS
('Fairbanks News-Miner.V.
“At the timp l went to college the
'elding scientists of the world took
tht- position that natural science had
disproved the truth of religious teach
ings and demonstrated the impossibil
tr .of immortality,” stated Attorney
General ,fohn R. Rustgard during the
coVirse of his address entitled “Nat
ural-Science and Religion” at the Col
lege yesterday afternoon. “Since
then science has advanced until today
tht leaders of natural science pro
claim there is no conflict between nat
ural science and religion and that life
is a .self-existent force not depending
ujion material .matter.”
tlx. Rustgard hegan his scholarly
address with a summarized history of
philosophical and scientific res“arch
rVhm. the. days of the ancients to the
modern era. He carefully defined the
thVee great .schoods. of philosophical
thought. which have all sought to

forces of spiritualism and materialism

Th • modern scientific investigations
into the puzzle of life have discloed

QUESTION OF POCKET VETO TO
BE SOLVED BY HIGH COURT
WASHINGTON—The United States
Supreme Court wiil decide the va'id
ity of the pocket veto at the end of
hny session except the-concluding ses
sion of Congress.
since the adoption ot the t onstitu
tion this has been a disputed point,
and the Supreme Court announced to
day that it will pass upon the ques
tion in a case aftetiting a group of In
dians in the State of Washington.
The decision is expected to be a con
trolling factor in the controversy over
the Muscle. Shoals resolution of Sen
ator Norris enacted at the last ses
sion, which President Coolidge never
i signer^ <
The Constitution says; “If any bill
shall not be returned by the President
within ten days after presented t.o
him, the same shall he a law in like
manner as if he signed it, unless Con
gress by adjournment prevents its re
turn, in which case it will not become
a law.”
The controversy hinges on the word
“adjournment.” Attorney generals of
the United States have repeatedly ad
vised presidents that the end of any
session constituted adjournment.
The judiciary committee of the
House and other authorities insist,
that adjournment means only final ad
journment, and not adjournment be
tween sessions of Congress

ROSICRUCIANS HEADED FOR
EGYPT TO ENACT CEREMONY
DATING BACK 3,000 YEARS
SAN JOSE, Calif.. Jan.—At mid
night <»f February 28- in fhe Temple
of Karmak, Egypt, 200 Americans,
who will have traveled half way
around the world, will enactt a cere
mony dating hack 3.000 years into the
mystic past.
The ritual which will be employed
by a party of Rosicrucians is to be I
patterned on ancient forms, believed
to have been devised and carried on
in the same room of that temple by
Amen-Hotep IV, son-in-law of King
Tutankhamen, 1350 years before the
Christian era.
The.,members of the Rosicrucian
Order, having headquarters here, em
barked from New York on January 10
for a four-months’ tour into the most
inaccessible places of the Orient. They
are headed by H. S. Lewis, iraperator
for the United States of the Ancient
Order Rosa Cruciae.
The ritual in the temple at Karnak ’
will be part of an initiation cere
mony and is one of the principal ob- j
jectives of the tour. The order claims
as its founder Amen-Hotep IV. The
famous King Tut -is declared by the
order’s historial to b»v< married into
Amen-Hotep’s familv and got posses
sion of the throne.1 One of Amen
Hotep's teachings a belief in a
single deity, whereas it is set forth
! against Tut, he was a backslider from
the faith and re-established the an
i cient. priesthood. In conjunction with
the- Egyptian Exploration Society of
London, the Rosicrucian Order has
provided costumes and equipment of
considerable antiquity fo> the temple'
, ceremony.
YOUNG SCOTS HATCH PLOT TO
RESCUE THE STONE OF SCONE
LONDON, Jan.—A ptiii to steal the ‘
•'Stone of Destiny” front the corona- j
don chair in Westminster Abbey, re
cently disclosed here, is said to be an
opening move ia a revolutionary pro
gram planned by young Scottish na"
tionalists.
They aim to bring to.-a head the ob
jective for which many Scots have
long been working, the restoration of
Scotland’s national identity and her
self-government through a parliament
of her own, similar to the Ulster par
liament in Northern Ireland.
The plans of these fiery youths to
raid the Abbey, carry off the stone
and deposit it with the Lord Provost
of Perth, would, if successful, fittingly
symbolize Scotland’s declaration of in-.
dependence. Known as the Stone of
iicone, the kings of England have sat
at their coronations for almost seven
hundred years had formerly been part
of the throne of the kings of Scotland
from time immemorial. It was
brought from the ■ Abbey of Scone, I
scene of Scottish‘coronations, by Ed
ward I, first of the kings of a united
Englanl and Scotland, and since 122fi
has rested beneath -the hard wooden
seat of the coronation chair used by
Britain’s successive monarchs. ffl
A venerable tradition credits it as
being the stone on vhich Jacob pil
lowed his head when he dreamed of
the ladder "set up. on the earth, and
the top of it reached to--heaven," and
which he afterward anointed with oil
and set up for a pillar of “God’s
house.” The fact that, it is a piece of
Scottish red sandstone; however, dis
counts the fact that the. Stone- of Des
tiny could have originated- in the land
of Jacob.
