lies realize the difficulties met by the

In ptirsunnce of this policy, an invi
tation is extended to the chiefs of the

lied statesmen upon the practical ques
tion involved in the execution of the
terms. It is said that this important
meeting, will be held at Spa.
This concession to the principle of

is noteworthy Mint more money Is to.
be set nsldo for home missions than for
education. even including nearly
$0,000,000 to be used for strengthening
the theological schools.
The hospitals are to receive ?."i,000,
000, for the care of the sick. This is
regarded as part of the duty of the
church. Hut missions, education and
philanthropy do not Include nil the
good causes to be benefited.
Eighty per cent of the min
isters of Americn receive less thnn $20
a week, which is much less thnn the
pay of n laborer in these Joys of high
prices. The sum of $20,000,000. which
is to be set aside for ministerial relief
nnil pensions, is not regarded as ade
quate, but it Is enough to do something
toward caring for the men who have
devoted their lives to the service of their
fellow men with no other reward than
the consciousness of trht.v done. The
fund for home missions, will be used to
J some extent in providing better pay for
I the ministers in smnll communities.
Wlint effect this campaign for money

Hut unless nil theories fall, it should
be followed by evidences of a new life
in the religious organizations.
There is hluli ntithoritv for the belief
that where n nuin has invested his

The mep and women of America can

becoming more deeply concerned in

AS TO. PROHIBITION
Henry's. Williams Tells What It
Has Done for Downtown The
Airship's Use In Commer
cial Photography
Ily GEORGE NOX McCAIN
HENRY S. WILLIAMS, president
of the Western Soup Society and
Community House, like every other
philanthropist in Philadelphia, Is deeply
interested in the results of prohibition
and its associated problems.
At his request the Department of
Public Safety recently furnlshcil him
with official statistics relating to nr
rests for intoxication nnd disorderly
conduct prior to and slncetho prohibi
tion amendment went into effect.
It is the most striking nnd illumina
tive presentation on this subject that
I have seen nnywhere.
In the months of January and Feb
ruary, 11)11), during the closing days of
the "wet era." the total arrests for
intoxication nnd disorderly conduct,
which latter is usually associated with
tho flowing bowl, were 0283. with n
total for other offenses of 0700. The
aggregntc of nrreSts for the same causes
in Jnnunry nnd February, 1020, six
months after prohibition becamo effect
ive, hnd decreased to 1320 and nrrcsts
for other offenses to GS2.
And this is official.
umHINK of it," said Mr. Williams
J- discussing the figures, "more than
SO per cent fewer arrests in .Innunry
nnd February of this car ns compared
with January and Fcbrunry in 1010.
when the saloons of Philadelphia were
doing business!
"It might interest you to know that
in 1017 I made n survey of tho number
i of saloons within four blocks ol Six
trrnth Bml South streets. At that time
there were thirty-four of them doing
business.

Iliistilities are disappearing under the
common necessity of making a living.
Italy and the.Iugo-Slavs no longer
entertain the pleasant idea of making

The old dn of cold, the young die of
tuberculosis, and the small number of
births is explained bj the lack of vitality
of the women, exluiusted by long-continued
lack of food.
