Cooperation Urged.

DR.. James f. Hagerty, professor of
economies in the Ohio State University,
Columbus, Ohio, speaking at the night
session of "Co-operation Among All
Charities" said the weak link of the
charity organizing societies whose duty
it is to prevent the duplication Of relief
lay in. the fact that they were independent
organizations and not composed of rep
resentatves of the working charitable
societies of the city. To better this con-
dition he urged that other cities follow
the Columbus plan of having a central
council composed of representatives of
all the city's charities.
Miss Adelaide Nj. Walsh. director Of
the social service department Children s
Memorial Hospital, Chicago, discussing
.-Co-operation Among Catholic Charities,
upheld the paid charity worker, declaring
that money spent in salaries and office
rent often brings large returns in money
saved. She advocated a sort of clearing
house in each district for all cases pass
ing through the various charitable Or
CARNATIONS as the best means of CO.
operation.
Commissioner of Labor Charles p. Neill
presided at the night session.

Powers. While Mr.. Powers has certain
pronounced characteristics such as his

ploSive laugh and a tendency to be lively

In story vibrating with real life
William Anthony Mcclure is said to have
portrayed in THE Divorce Question, .
Rowland and Clifford's play, which comes
to the Academy next week, a true pic
ture of conditions today which demand
a remedy.
The play had a run of 1O1 nights in
Chicago. 1t deals with an assumed in
stability of the family institutions under
the present marriage and divorce laws
which free parents from the marital bond
on the grounds of incompatibility and
other charges, to pursue the will-o' the
wisp of affinity. thus thrusting children
into an everlasting maelstrom of tempta-
ton, from which, it is claimed, but few
emerge.
Rowland and Clifford have handsomely
staged the play. John M. Kline. formerly
of the Columbia Players, will appear in
it in the character role of Rev. Father
jerome.
