Chidren's Matinee Pleases.

The children's moving picture
matinee, given under the auspices of
the Home and School League yester-
day afternoon, proved great sue
cess. Although the weather was
most inclement, the Auditorium was
crowded with enthusiastic and ap-
preciative children.
The fairy story of Hansel and
Gretel was most realistic, with the
ginger bread house and the old witch
who afterward was roasted into a
ginger bread figure. The short reels
of horse farm in France, the beau
tiful pictures of Sweden's waterways,
historic San Diego, and the Scouts in
France were also enjoyed by tho
youthful audience.
The League and Matinee Commit
tee wish to thank Messrs. Mace, Ma
than and Brown for the free use of
the Auditorium; the Scouts, who
were responsible for the ticket sell
ing, ushering and door keeping; Rev.
Edwin Kinks, Scout Master, and Mr.
]. w. Brown, who gave his personal
supervision to the matinee. A SINH.
lar matinee will be held next Friday
March 10, at 3.45 o'clock. The Scouts
will have tickets on sale Tuesday OF
next week.

soon afterward received al appoint
ment by the National League on Ur-
ban Conditions Among Colored People
as a "big sister" worker among young
women and girls. In this capacity she
has also demonstrated unusual ability
to get good results from her efforts.
The plan to have Miss Spencer inter-
view employers Of girls and women in
shops and factories and advise with
the colored girls In the trade schools
individually and In groups for the pur-
pose of enlarging their view of the in
dustrial field is a move in the right di-
rection. BY this personal touch with
the girls it is hoped. that she will de-
velop in them greater ambition and de-
termination to meet the conditions as
they are and to persevere until they
become more proficient and are con-
sidered by their employers indispensa-
BILE and by their associates In their
work desirable companions in labor.
She will devote some time to work
in the Washington Irving high school
and in cooperation with the visiting
teachers Of public schools that have
large numbers Of colored girls in at
tendance. She will attempt to direct
those girls above the B class who
plan to leave school before graduation
toward some vocational training. with
view to having them take up such
fines of study as may suit their inclina-
tons and adaptabilities.
Miss Spencer received her appoint
ment as placement secretary at the
Manhattan Trade school through the
efforts and influence Of the officials Of
the National League on Urban Condi-
tons. This is the first instance of a
young woman of our race being ap-
pointed TO such a position. and the

MAXWELL ADOPTS
NEW RELIEF PLAN
Will Care For Families of En-
ployes Who Enter Military
Duties

In accordance with a statement is
sued last week by Walter E. Flanders.
president and general manager of the
Maxwell Motor Company. Inc. of De-
troit, that institution has adopted a
broad plan of action relative to the
relief of the families OF its employees
who have or may enlist for military
service in connection with the present
dispute with Mextoo.s
Mr.. Flanders announcement is as
follows: The Maxwell Motor Com
pany, Inc. will hold positions open
for any of its employees who have
months, who enlist or have enlisted
for the Mexican trouble. While en-
gagged in the Mexican trouble, the
company will continue the pay of such
employees who have others dependent
upon them at the rate of one-half
their present salaries, for one year
from this date (June S0), unless the
government shall have made adequate
provision sooner"
a number of Maxwell employees had
enlisted before Mr.. Flanders made the
announcement of the company's in
tentions and judging from the enthus-
iaSm with which the announcement
was received at the various Maxwell
factories when the notice was posted,
ii will have the effect of stimulating
recruiting from the great army OF
Maxwell workers.
More than a score of factory work
ers had enlisted from the Detroit plant
of the company by July l and many
others announced their intention OF
going as soon as they learned that
their families would not suffer during
their absence. In the company
plants at Newcastle. Ind, and Dayton,
Ohio. a similar situation obtained.
The Maxwell announcement is in
direct line with the company's policy
of rendering all possible aid to the
United States government in the Mex
can crisis.
All during the border trouble, Max
we'll cars have rendered efficient SER
vice and because of its ability to take
the rough roads in the southern coun-
try, it has been a favorite with the SOL
diers. Maxwell cars have penetrated
far into the Mexican country and the
famous nonstop car gave a good ac-
count of itself when il was comman-
