 "Our Church." as it is called, Is go- ing up on corner lot 1GO by 140 feet, the material being brick and granite. From the outside the building looks more like an apartment house than a house of worship. The avowed aim in planning the structure was to interest the whole family."'
 The auditorium on the ground floor, 40 feet by 90 feet, with concrete gallery all around 1t, will seat 2,5OO persons. Besides it's use on Sunday, 1t will be open every week day night for lectures, musicals. etc., as it may be needed: ,.-

There are four large rooms for Sunday school work and class rooms on each side of the au- ditorium. Four large rooms on the third floor may be devoted to educa- tonal purposes.
 There will be social and banquet hall, open every night, where young men and women may meet under the tutelage of Christian man and hts wife.
 For men and boys there will be an apartment for social work, billiard and club rooms and a gymnasium. With the women and girls they will have the use of tennis and basketball courts on the roof and bowling alley under the sidewalk.
 The restaurants and cafe will be available to all. The bedrooms in the building will have bathrooms and sleeping porches.
 Pastor to Be General Manager.
 The general manager of this combi nation church, hotel and club will be the pastor. the Rev. Charles s. Selec- man, who had wide experience in in- stitutional work in St. Louis and New Orleans and went to Los Angeles from Missouri three months ago to take charge. Upon his arrival Dr. Selec- man announced that the new church would be open seven days in the week.
 "It is a poor business" he said. ito invest $1,OOO.OO0 as we are doing and allow it to be idle six days out of sev- en. Just place to drop in and pray is like an oasis in many dustys weary day. But worship is not all- men and women need social life. The open church is the same old organiza- ton in its everyday clothes. It is the first century Christianity with twen- tieth century action"

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight Is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing 1t
with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams or. following some fool
ish physical culture stunt, while the real
cause OF thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
assimilatcs the food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkabl BILE new scientific
discovery. 1t Is now possible TO combine
into simple form the very clements
needed by the digestive organs TO help
them convert food into rich. fat-laden
blood. This master-stroke of modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
termed the greatest OF flesh builders.
Sargol aims through its regcneratiYe. re-
constructive powers to coax the stomach
and intestines to literally soak TIP the
fattenfng elements of your food and
carried TO every starved. broken-down
cell and tissue OF your body. You can
readily picture the result when this
amazing transformation has taken place
and yCu notice how your cheeks I'LL out,
ho;lows about your neck, shoulders and
bust disappear and you take on from 10
to % pounds Of solid. healthy flesh.
Sarsol IL absolutely harmless. ineNpen-

One Of the things that aroused MIN

was the information that about thir'y

20 per cent Of their salary increase Tor

Eugene Zimmerman, Former Head of
c., n. G. D. Ry., Expires Suddenly
at Club in Cincinnati

Cincinnati, Dec 22.-Eugene Zim-
norman, former president of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad
and millionaire of this city, died sud-
denly at his club here on Sunday from
hemorrhage of the lungs
The death of Mr.. Zimmerman was
unexpected, although his health had
not been of the best for the last few
weeks. When he was seized by the
fatal attack he was engaged in study
ing records of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton railroad, preparatory, it
is believed, to testifying before Com
missioner Hall of the interstate COM
merce commission, who is conducting
an investigation of the sale of that
road and the Pere Marquette to j. P.
Morgan & Co.
His only child, Helena, married the
duke of Manchester in 1900, after
which Mr.. Zimmerman spent much of
his time in Europe and New York.
Eugene Zimmerman was born in
Vicksburg, Miss, December II. 1915.
He was educated at Farmers college,
College Hill, o. and at Gambrier, o.,
but left school at the outbreak of the
Civil war and entered the United
States navy, His record was a notable
one. The most memorable episode in
his career. however, was his connec-
ton with the Cincinnati, Hamilton e
Dayton. AS a director he was active
in the reorganization of the system.

A minute after the Zeppelin was
sighted no less than forty high-angle
guns mounted on housetops and at
street corners were raining fusil-
Iade of shells about the flyer, but the
raider seemed to bear a charmed life.
1t swooped across the city, letting go
highly explosive projectiles as it
passed on an answering course.
After completing circuit above the
city the airship turned leisurely in the
direction OF the German lines and, ap-
parentiy unhindered by the terrific fire
of the Russian guns. disappeared in

The Russians retreated across the
Bzura river, destroying the bridges be-
hind them. Two German detachments,
which followed over a partly burned
bridge, were attacked and are said to
have been annihilated, fifty survivors
being taken prisoners. This is only
the beginning of the great battle for

Prisoners Mental Responsibility for

State Court to Decide-Jerome Says
He Was Confident of Success.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The United

day that Harry Kendall Thaw must be
delivered up to the state of New York
to be tried on the charge of conspiracy
to break out of Matteawan insane
asylum or be recommitted to the
asylum, or both Thaw's fight for
liberty is therefore ended for the time
being.
Thaw is now In Manchester, N H.
Some of the best legal talent in the
country has been fighting for months
to prevent his extradition to New
York. Extradition vas ordered by
the governor of New Hampshire. but
Federal District Judge Aldrich grant
ed Thaw a writ of habeas corpus. This
action of the court was reversed by
the Supreme court
The next move in the case is for
the New York authorities to take. 1t
has been said that the state does not
intend to prosecute Thaw, but will re-
turn him at once to Matteawan. If
this is done Thaw will have grounds
for appeal to the federal court for a
writ Of babeas corpus. This was indi-
Gated ty Chief Justice White during
the a gu tnents on the constitutionality
of the Thaw commitment a week ago.
On the other hand If he is prosecuted
for conspiracy the belief exists here
that he will likely get a short SEN
tence and then go free.
The decision of the court was unani-
nous and was read by Justice Holmes.
1t held that the writ of habeas corpus
did not lie and sustained the conten-
ton of William Travers Jerome at
every point. Thaw cannot be taken
back for 30 days under the decision.
Thirty days must elapse before the
courts mandate is handed down and
he cannot be removed to New York
before that time.
