The specter of starvation or separation

The Hartemtcln family, llvinir In the rear

humble way until a month ago, when tho
father, Frederick Hartensteln, was afflicted
with a disease of the brain Ho was sent
to tho Philadelphia Hospital, where physi

day Mildred, nine years old, stricken with
diphtheria, was sent to tho Philadelphia

of tho children Francis, ten ears old;
Kdlth, six, and Frederick, Jr. four remain

light against poverty. In rc.uponso to an
appeal for aid by the pollco of the Tren

George II. Newton Coal Company furnhhett
enough coal to tide the family over until
warm weather. Several neighbors, home of
whom have little more than the Ilartcn
steins, hao adetl. But more substantial
aid is needed immediately, according to the
police, to keep the little brood together until
organized charity brings icllef.

REV. GEORGE H.BICKLEY
HAS VISION IN NEW POST
Superintendent of Northwest
District of Conference Big
Manly Man
The new dltilct superintendent of the
Northwest district of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, the Rev Dr. George II. Blck
ley, who was appointed to succeed the Rev.
Dr George M Izer at the closing session
of tho 130th annual session of the Phila
delphia confeience of that church, Is a mod
est man.
IIo Is a big. manly man, with dreams
and visions of the big work which he says
can be dono In his new post, but he sayo
he does not think they ought to be dis
cussed until hc knows more about the
problems of the position to which ho. has
been appointed.
He has been a district superintendent
before in fact, he served six ears In that
position for tho Notth district of this con
ference, nnd has been out ot that position
but one jear. For the last year he lias
been secretary of tho Board of Home Mis
sions and Church Extension
"The aim in adding to this district of
tho church is to add to tho unity of the
bmk sard It isn't It Is healthful, amus
ing and a civic advantage It Is cleaning
up the city, but It Isn't lighting the price of
vegetables, for the simple1 reason that the
things won't grow Mifllolcntly plentiful to
make ono shade ot difference on the cheerful
side of tho household budget
"Nine-tenths of these sort of anls don't
have nny sun." sajs Mrs. Foulke. "nnd
tun Is absolutely essential for the nourishing
of plants Tho activities of the hack of
tho house must still go on. even though
there Is a truck patch In the pioeess of
growing. There's tho washing to he hung
out, tho baby to be wheeled mound, tho
cat to bo considered, and, above all, there's
the native soil that for years back has been
fed up on sewer gas, bricks and other
heterogeneous fragments.
"By the time rakes, hoes and other Har
dening implements have been Invested In.
and by the tlmo tho cost of fertilizer and
top soil has been added to the original
flrht cost of seeds nnd young plants, etc., I
am afraid the experiment must bo regarded
ns a costly one In view of all the handicaps
I have Just spoken of"
Mrs Foulke cites the cultural directions
furnished by seedsmen with packets of
church admlnlstiatlon," said the Rev. Dr.
Bicklcy In speaking of the additions which
have been made to the Northwest district,
when telling of the work which hc will do
In the iinthrnelto district, for that Is the
taction In which much of his" labor will
bo needed There a.-e thirty churches In
this section. Some chuiches of the North
Central district have been added to the ter
ritory
The Rev. Dr Blckley fcajs he does not
think It is lilting that ho should try to tell
of the work which he plans to do until ho
finds out what is most needed.
"All wo want to do Is to do tho best we
can for tho Lord and Ills Sou and es
tablish their woik and further their In
terests in every way possible." Thet.e aro
the sentiments of Philadelphia's new dis
trict superintendent of the Methodist
Church.
Doctor lilckley Is a Philadelphia!!. He
was graduated from tho, Central High
School and from the Drew Theological Sem
inary, and took a podt-grnduato course at
the University of Pennsylvania. He has
had charges at Wayne, Media, Somerton,
Christ Church. West Philadelphia, and the
Arch Street Church, at Broad and Aich

In the case of a ard of this size, too, one

Mrs Foulke has proved herself un ardent
advocate of the homo garden In the suburb
or in any city placo that lends ltolf sen
fclblj. to the plan ot combatting high market
prices with home-grown vegetables. She Is
ono of tho best-known woman farmeis In
tho State, For eais sho has been the suc
cessful mannger of a big farm near West

problems of rural women nnd of furthering

Tho 130th Annual conferenco of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, Just closed hi
this city, was a conferenco of promotions
and smiles not a conferenco of demotions
and consequently there nre many Ifappy
Methodist ministers today, although, of
course, there nre a few whoso hearts aro
snd because they must move on to other
pnstures nnd new lloeks, and tiny love tho
old
"Do j on know I never saw a conference
like this before," said one white-haired old
minister, when talking nbout tho appoint

pastor knew where he would be during
tho coming ear "It was a conference of
promotions Nearly every rhnngo wns n
better one for tho minister comerned
"I know of but two nun who are dis

when one remembers there nre 3G0 changes
to take into i uuHlderatloii, It Is marvelous.
One of tin- men brought his trouble on
himself when ho tefilsed to take a very
