TO ELIMINATE
COSTLY GIFTS
Presbyterian Bible Class
Starts Movement.

Because they believe the giving Of
expensive gifts engenders worry during
the yuletide, the First Presbyterian
Church Brotherhood Bible Glass has set
on foot a movement to discourage the
giving of any present whose value ex-
eeeds one dollar. The innovation was
started yesterday at a meeting of the
class, when they drew up a declaration
which was read from the pulpits of four
city churches besides the Presbyterian.
The members of the class have
reached the conclusion that much dis
tress is caused during the Christmas
season by the giving of expensive
Christmas presents. Many people of
moderate circumstances, knowing that
their friends viii remember them with
gifts, feel compelled to provide pres
ents which are more costly than they
can afford to buy. For several weeks
before Christmas there is a nervous
strap" due to the necessity of providing
expensive gifts. In order to make the
Christmas season a time of real joy and
comfort the Bible Glass of the Presby-
terrain Brotherhood has formed the
Christmas Giving Association. Cards
have been printed for the use of the
members and will be distributed by
them. The cards contain the following:
81 am a member of the Christmas
Giving Association, whose objects are
to inculcate a proper observance of
Christmas Day, to teach its real mean
ing, to make it a time Of joy and
peace and good will to men, to take
away worry and disappointment, to lift
the burdens from those in need. The
members of the association have
pledged themselves not to give, and do
not wish to receive, presents exceeding
one dollar each in value, and will do all
in their power to further the objects of
the association.
owe send you the greetings Of this
happy Christmas time and invite you to
become a member of the association
The members of the association have
made the following declaration:
J.. We will not give and do not wish
to receive Christmas presents exceeding
one dollar each in value.
2. We viii help those who are in
need and who have no special claims
upon our friendship.
B. We will leave to birthdays or
similar days, which are not at any one
time common to all of us or common to
a class of people, the giving of es-
pecial gifts, but we caution against ex-
pensive gifts at any time merely to
satisfy conventional custom.
4. We believe in a brief Christmas
service on Christmas morning.
5. We believe that Christmas and
the days of preparation for it should be
made a time of happiness and peace,
and not a time of worry and regret.
The members of the Bible Glass hope
that this movement will meet with ap-
proval. Any person of any religious be-
lief may join the association and re-
ceive cards from any of the following
committee: Adrian Lyon, Charles M.
Mac William, Daniel W. Boehm, Wilbur
La Roe, Jr.

and threatened to kill himself and
the coroner or anyone else who would
dare arrest him. He afterwards wept

NATIONAL LAW FACTORY
WORTH THIRTY MILLION

When Congress convened for the
long session recently it found its
plant in the best of condition from
the tip of Miss Liberty's plumes to
the ash cars at the heating plant. No
other government in the world pos
sesses such a fine physical equipment
for the making of laws as the United
States. Taking in the Capitol, the
two Office buildings, the Congression-
al Library and the heating plant,
there is represented in the national
law factory an expenditure of more
than thirty million dollars. This is
about twice as much as Great Britain
spent on the parliament buildings,
the finest law factory in Europe.
The Office buildings of the Senate
and House have the finest of equip
ments. The restaurant plant in the
Senate office building has an e%lectTi-
cal dish washer, electrical ice cream
freezer, and everything else a palatial
restaurant needs. And yet, although
it is offered rent free to any one who
can provide senator's with satisfac-
tory food, no one has undertaken it.
The whole story of the great legisla-
tive plant is told in the new book,
"The American Government" by
Frederic j. Haskin. This is a book
for you, The people who make the
laws, those who execute them, and
those who interpret them have en-
dorsed the book as the last word in
accuracy. 1t is a book that gives gen.
erously both of entertainment and in
formation to every person who reads
it. That is why the EVENING
NEWS is offering it to the people of
this community at cost. Look out for
the coupons every day.

WANT STOKES
FOR GOVERNOR
Republicans Look to Him to
Unite the Party.
tFrom the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, Nov. 25:-Ever since the
overwhelming defeat of the Republi-
cans in this state at the election
November 5. there has been talk oil
former Governor Edward c. Stokes
as the man to whom the Republicans
should rally for the goyernorship
next fall. This talk has been based
upon the contention that the only
hope of Republican success in the
gubernatorial contest next year will
be to nominate a man of progressive
principles who would be acceptable
to both factions of the party and who
would have behind him a reunited
Republicanism. During the last week
or so this talk has increased and
some Republican politicians who
have visited the State House from
various sections of the state have not
only regarded the proposition with
favor, but have said that there SEEM
ed quite a sentiment in favor of the
denomination of Mr.. Stokes.
Former Governor Stokes was ask
ed Friday whether he would again
be a candidate for governor. He said
he would not discuss the question at
present. He was told that his name
was being mentioned with some
favor in various sections of h state
and that 1t was being urged that, in
view of the present split in the Re-
publican party In New Jersey, he
would be one of the strongest cand1-
dates that could be named. This
failed to bring any definite statement
from him. He merely reiterated
that he would not discuss the matter
at this time.
would you accept the nomina-
ton if you were assured that you
would be acceptable to both the Pro-
gressives and the Republicans" he
was asked.
81 haven't been asked to take the
nomination yet, and will not discuss
the matter now" was all he would
say.
Some of the governors friends
said today that it was their opinion
that if he could be assured that he
would be the only candidate opposed
to the Democratic nominee, he would
accept the place at the head of the
ticket next year.
Taking the present temper of the
Progressives as a guide, State House
politicians are inclined to doubt that
the Bull Moosers would agree to any
compromise with the Republicans
upon the question of a candidate for
governor. At the recent state meet
ing in this city, the Progressives de-
clared in favor of their own separate
ticket from top to bottom, and as
was announced at the time, a resolu-
ton was introduced that, while it
did not mention former Governor
Stokes by name, criticised him for
claiming to be a Progressive while at
the same time endorsing Republican
candidates. The present outlook is
that the Progressives will not flirt
with Mr.. Stokes, but will seek an out
and out Progressive as their candi-
date. The Progressive leaders insist
that If there is to be any %compromis-
Ing the Republicans, midst seek them.
