AMERICAN MADE SOME
LARGE HIT-NIT!

Just now popular the efforts OF the
Chicago American to exploit the Go
To-Church campaign as a circulation
game are with the clergy can be
gathered from the following editor
ial which appeared in "The Message"
the organ of the new First Congrega-
tional church:
1T was little unfortunate that
journal with the moral reputation
and standing of The Chicago Amer
lean should have spoken the first
word in Chicago about this move
ment. People are prone to be a lit
tie fearful of sleeps clothing when
worn by former or occasional con-
sorts with wolves. But inasmuch as
the idea was neither originated by
the American nor in any way COM
promised by it, it is entirely possible
to recommend the plan fathered by
the Chicago Christian Endeavor I'm
ion, supported by an interdenomina-
tonal committee and being copied in
many cities all over the nation. Mr..
Fegert had suggested the plan dur
ing the time of the Men and Religion
Campaign, but it was found impos-
sible or unwise to launch the matter
then However, the president of the
Cook County Christian Endeavor I'm
ion, Mr.. A. G. Fegert, took up the
matter at practically the same time
as the American, and not only en-
listed the morning papers in the en-
terprise but sent kilograms to Faith
er Endeavor' Clark and set the ball
rolling. Mr.. Fegert is now chairman
of the INSTRUMENTATION commit
tee and Rev. Philip Yarrow is secre-
tary. The Y NJ. c. A. has donated
the use of offices, 4O1 Association

loaned Office furniture, the telephone

Anne Arundel County.
Three children, two boys and
girl, aged, respectively, IL, 16 and
4 years, live with their mother and
her brutal, Incorporate husband.
The two oldest children were born
before this mother married. On the
18th of July this woman's husband
beat her 11-year-old boy, apparently
without cause, until the lad was
badly bruised. For his cruelty, the
man was arrested, convicted and

Baltimore City.
Two children, boy and girl aged,
respectively, 13 and 8 years, lived
with their mother, who was intem-
perate- and immoral. These father
less children were neglected, not
controlled, and practically homeless.
We had them brought to the Juve-
nile Court, and they were taken
from this mothers custody and COM

agents first investigated the case
four years ago, and have repeated
ly warned the children's mother but
these warnings did no permanent

Killifer signed a Federal League

with which he played last year. It.
is possible that attorneys viii not
argue the reserve cause. but will

join with Corporation Counsel John
Milton to contest the Lehigh Val

Secretary Ernest Rowe, of the
Chamber of Commerce, was present
to urge the citizens committee plan.
Mr.. Rowe's idea as ne outlined it was
that such a committee be named and
empowered by the city commission
ers to employ engineering experts and
other necessary help to aid 1t in
studying the Morris Canal situation
and that it not only determine the
citys equities in the tidewater basins
and propose and prosecute plans for
