To Prevent Fires and Pollution' / Should Be the Business of Every Hunter Now Probably the most extensive plant of co-oporation ever worked out by the State government for enforcement of State laws against pollution of streams, for the prevenUon of fire and for the proper observance of the game laws, will be put Into effect oh Decem ber 1 when the deer season opens. Judging from the de.aand for permits to camp on State lands and for hunt ers' licenses more men will be In the woods during the fifteen days of the deer season than usual and the State authorities have taken measures to not *>nly prevent illegal killing of game, but to check as far as possible forest fires due to hunters or pollution of I streams. ! The game commission will have the | assistance of the fish wardens, forest wardens, rangers and foresters in en forcing the game laws together with State police who can be spared for rural patrol work. In addition the new bureau of forest fire protection has enlisted not only the aid of these departments, but yl' many local asso ciations and of farmers in keeping down fires and hunters will be warned i to extinguish camp fires and to be very .careful about causing fires aceidental- I ly. More flres than generally known j have been traced to careless camping I parties and this year the greatest or j ganlzed effort to prevent fires has been made. Hunters have' been asked by the Forestry department to co-operate in putting out flres, while the State Department of Heulth has asked their co-operation in proper disposal of waste and In checking stream pollu tion. Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon plans to send inspectors to camp sites and where flagrant violations have I been traced the facts will be reported to the proper authorties and permits | to camp on State reserves refused next year. .Enjoyable Party Given on Anna Coover's Birthday New Cumberland, Pa., Nov. 26.

XJONG STRAIGHT STREICTS In the world as known to Baedeker thet;e are only two streets that can TO mpa re with Fifth Avenue, and these are both on Manhattan Island. ,om its source in the asphalt bot toms of Washington Sqpare to where it loses itself in the coal-middens of the Harlem river at One Hundred and Forty-Third street, the avenue runs a course of almost exactly seven miles. Tt runs true to the North Star, with out a turn, with only a single pause, grimly bent on its in a way calculated to make the dowager met ropolises of Europe lift their eye brows and say, "How American!*' Its rivals are Eighth Avenue, a half mile to the west, which may be some nine hundred feet longer; and, still farther west, Tenth, or Amsterdam Avenue, the titan of all urban high ways, nine" miles up hill and down as determined in the primeval blue-print shaped by the city fathers some time about the year 1800. All three streets have character as well as length, but Fifth Avenue alone has significance. —Simeon Strunsky in Harper's Maga zine.

With a billion and a half of dollars invested in its plant, and with an in come for all religious and benevolent purposes of something over a million dollars a day, the Christian Church in the United States \is finding itself under fire for its slipshod methods in the local church. While at once tho biggest business enterprise in the land, and the most widely distributed, the Church (in which word all de nominations are included) is taxed with having the least system and effi ciency in the administration of its local branches. Steady pressure is being applied i'rom various sides to remedy a condi tion which is deemed intolerable in the light of modern methods of con ducting other business. The Laymen's Movement, now under way in this country, has been a potent force for better methods of work and the in- i fluence of the Men and Religion Move ment is still felt; while many of the denominations themselves have com missions on efficiency and systematic! finance. What is called "The Every Member Canvass" has done much to | put the financial affairs of 'hoi churches on a business basis. I The Real "nig Business" While religious statistics are notor- j iously unreliable, estimates often tak-j place of accurately tabulated : reports, it is generally agreed with the 1906 Government Census as a' basis, that the totals are about as fol- j lows: There are thirty-seven and a quar- i ter million enrolled members in tha churches of the country. This em braces also the Catholic churches, whose figures take in all baptized members of the parishes, and so In cludes children. More than half the ! population of the country are counted as "adherents" of the church; that is, they have some more or less tenuous connection with local congregations, and attend services more or less regularly. The seating capacity of the churches of the land is fifty-eight and one half • million persons. The number of church buildings was, at last report, I 192,796; since those figures are old, it' is probably safe to say, in the general \ terms that are all too losely used In religious statistics, that there are two hundred thousand church buildings In America. The membership of the average church is computed as 157 persons. The property investment of the church, in all the sorts of bulldtnga that It uses aside from strictly educa tional jtturaoaaa. la a. iiiiiinp atxd. ftJl&Lf dollars. This takes In churches, par ish houses, parsonages, Sunday school buildings, etc. In the aggregate, the church certainly does a "big business" that would interest Wall Street. The much-discussed loan to the Allies is only one-third of the amount of the church's permanent Investment. A Million Dollars a Day Scoff as we may at the pennies and nickels put into the collection plate, the fact remains fhat the church peo ple in this country pay out something over a million dollars a day for various purposes. There is no form of benevo lence anywhere that can compare in magnitude with the gifts of church members. In addition to local church support, there are gifts to missions, homo and foreign, to ministerial pensions, to col leges, to Bible distribution, to hospital and orphanage maintenance, to the relief of the poor, and to a variety of other altruistic causes. The tendency which the Laymen's Movement has fostered has been to divide gifts on a ; flfty-flfty basis—half for self (the [local c.hurph> and half for the other person (missions, etc.) I With all this vast Income, It would I seem as If the ministers should be well .paid; but the rever-e la the case, j Clergymen's salaries are notoriously ■ small. Tn one denomination the aver lage is $334 a year. A tabulaton made !two years ago, showed that, outside of j the cities, the average salaries of min isters in well-known varieties of the i 178 Protestant denominations were as follows: Southern Baptist $334 Northern Baptist 683 Disciples of Christ 526 Southern M. E 681 • Northern M. E 741 ' Southern Presbyterian .... 857 Reformed Church 928 Northern Presbyterian .... 977 Protestant Episcopal ....;. 994 Unitarian 1221 Improving the Methods Of late, various religious agencies, notably the Home Missions Council CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years ****** bewr » «ga»m»<rf L . ft and local church federations, have been at work to secure more definite data concerning the churches. They find the task almost an impossible one. The simple reason is that in an amazing number of cases the keep ing of records is left with the min isters, who are notoriously unsyste matic; and a change of pastors means a complete break in the records. In a surprising number of cases, congregations do not know where they stand numerically or financially. Old members are lost sight of; one big city church recently purged its roll of more than a thousand names of "members" who could nowhere be found, although they had for years been appearing In the church's statis tical reports. On the financial side, curiously, the churches have more careful records than on the human side. Yet it Is an open scandal that in churches not a few, often money given for benevo lences, like missions, has been appro priated for current expenses by ineftl- , clent trustees or treasurers. Even after all the agitation'of recent years,! probably less than half the churches in the land have a budget system, such as a good business house would use. In this direction noteworthy efforts to ward improvement are being made by the general denominational agencies and allied organizations. Some time ago a careful canvass was made of two thousand churches upon I f A Christmas Cards Attractive Designs Beautifully Executed.
