Foremen conferences in industries themselves to act as a barometer of both working and management conditions were urged by the speakers. Some industries, it was brought out, have an aversion to the foremen conferences as waste of time and accomplishing no end.

But the up-to-date it was said, which Ignores group discussions of the foremen brought together once a week or so from every departmental branch will soon find itself slipping or treading aimlessly the wheel that turns no faster than the present. Should Correct Evils. When evils that develop in any plant or industry need correcting the foremen should be the persons to do it, because they are the connecting link between the tradesmen and the management, said Oeorge T. Willson, assistant general superintendent of the De Laval Separator Company of exnioiuons icature tne bezar which is expected to ral.se $5,000 to further the work of the organization. "You are an inspiration for ail Clr's," Boro President Byrne told his audience of almost 2,000 Scouts.

"You are bringing to the people of this city, as well as elsewhere, a lofty purpose to carry out a pledge, the most wonderful phJge I know-: nf honoring your flap and living loyal to your Ideals. Preserve that standard of remaining true to yourself and your country always," he said. He was introduced by Mrs. Evelyn W. Allan, Boro Scout Com-m Miioner.

The program opened informally yesterday afternoon with an attendance of almost 1,000 of Brooklyn's 4.500 Girl Scouts. The guests of honor were Mrs. Jane Peeter Rip-pin, national director of the Girl Scouts, and Dr. Bertha Chapman ddy, naturalist. Miss Nellie S.

Rabbi Leventha! Urges "Superconscious" Advance A lecture by Rabbi Israel H. I-ev-enthal at the Brooklyn Jewish Center, 667 Eastern Parkway, last night was a development of the Rabbi's thesis of the superiority of the "superconsdousncss" over the so-called "subconsciousness" of man. Before an audience that filled the hall to capacity, Rabbi Levcnthal, an exponent ol the great future of progressive Jewry, strongly advised the development of those senses which will tend to create more alert and more proficient people. The subconscious state of mind, he warned. Is an unknown quantity.

The goal of intellectual development, he said, should be toward the "superconsclousness."

It wa.s decided to strap her down on a frame and give the vertebrae a chance to take their rinht position.

And for two years mure I couldn't walk or get out nf bed." Nelllo owes her recovery to the splendid care she has received. The orthopedic department at Klns County has always been tme of the best in that institution it received special commendation Irom Dr. Adolph Lorenz, the famous Viennese surgeon.

Nellie and the other women In tho ward nre rheered by the recovery of another very severe case, that of Elizabeth Siztgeti, who was also strapped on a spinal frame. Now Elizabeth has recovered and is working in the hospital olllee and can go to the movies whenever she likes. "The talkies must be grent," repeats Nellie. "Well, it won't be long now, I hope, before I hear them." And her wish wns echoed by the other patients in Ward 43.

Temple, Garfield pL and last night. Dr. Alexander Lyons said in part: "I resent and regret the persistent preachment in our churches and elsewhere of the decisive claims of superiority. There Is no such thing as a Church, as constituted at present, that may be regarded as superior in all respects to all others. Each has its own revelation to make, some contribution to the spiritual and moral aspects of the world, in proportion to its ability, earnestness and sincerity.

"From this standpoint I deplore an announcement Just made by Dr. Fosdick of the superiority of Jesus with the implied inferiority of the Jewish background from which He fame. says Dr. Fosdick, 'is the champion of personality seen against the background of the centuries which immediately preceded Him. he continues, 'constitutes the uniqueness of Jesus' message.

Jesus was the first great he further avers. Let us look at these contentions. Uncommon in Some Respects. 'Jesus Himself maintained and that He came not to destroy or even modify, but to fulfill. To say that He was an original or unique departure is to Judge Him with fanciful fondness rather than with historical reasonableness.

In some respects He undoubtedly did present aspects of beauty and of proportions that were uncommon, out to picture Him as unique is either biased zeal or unconscious Ignorance. Jesus was not unique as a proponent of personality. "I wish that Christian teachers would cease to stress the claim of the superiority of Jesus with the implication of the inferiority of Judaism and its followers. The Insistence of Jesus Himself seems to me to be fairer and finer, that 'by their fruits ye shall know Average Christian Nut Superior. "The average Christian is not superior to the average Jew.

I would not deprive the Christian of his idealism in Jesus. It is helpful to him. He should not seek to dislodge the Jew from his idealistic inspiration in other directions. The faith of the Jew is essential to him. Let the Christian And the ground of his rejoicing not in the claimed superiority of Jesus, but in the dignity of conduct of Christians in emulation of that ideal.

"This is what the Jew is trying to do. With him conduct is more important than creed. This persistent stressing of difference of theological creed is conducive tp division and antagonism Instead cf that increasing amity and co-operation which not only exemplifies the highest reach of religion properly apprehended, but Is the most urgent need of our time." 240 PLAYGROUNDS ASKED BY O'SHEA Dr. William J.

This somewhat flexible ordinance was reflected in the rather can-less construction of a road which varied anywhere from its specified "ffour rods" to as little as two, causing many bitter romplaints by those whose land was cut Into, and who wero little benefitted by a bad'y built highway. The Kings Highway was later named Fulton in honor of Robert Fulton, who established the first steam ferry between Manhattan and Brooklyn. 'RESTRICTION NOT SOLUTION TO LABOR CLAESSENS Development of Machine Determines Economic Situation, He Says.

"Immigration restriction is not a solution to the bad economic and industrial conditions of American labor," said August Claessens. former Assemblyman, who spoke last niuht at the Boro Park Labor Lv-ceum, at 1377 42d st. His topic was "Will the Restriction of Immigration Improve American Labor Conditions." "Immigration restrictions will not improve working conditions," he said, "because the economic and industrial system is such that the economics of the workers are not determined by the amount of immigration but rather by the modern development of Fewer Workers, More Work. Claessens pointed out that fewer people aro employed now ttin ever before, yet more work is being produced, "duo to the modern development of machines," he declared. "When the East Side fit New York was getting a lot of immigrants," the former Assemblyman said, "nobody thought of building modern npartments.

Now that immigrants are being kept away from this country, all the tenements are idle. Cut no Mayor James Walker has discovered philanthropists who are willing to invest money to modern apartments In place of the tenements on the Fast S.de, which have been found to have outlived their usefulness. "Americanized people would rot live In these old shabby tenements." he continued. "So therefore they must be torn down and replaced with American stylo houses." IWcrie By MARJORIE DOUMAV.

When Dr. Charles D. Napier or Dr. Franklin B. Van Wart or Dr.

Ralph C.

A pretty girl, with masses of dark hair and hazel eyes and very white teeth, there's nothing wistful about the smile Nellie wears. It's bright and purposeful.

The latest clash over Prohibition enforcement was revealed yesterday afternoon in Tombs Police Court. When the defendant guards failed to appear, even though their superiors maintained that nothing had been done to Gillespie except to "forcibly make him sit down," Magis trate Goodman postponed the case until next Friday, with a warning that If the defendants did not appear he would Issue warrants for them.
