discussion over question involving
the status Of the Church Extension
Society Of the District OF Columbia,
which. il was intimated, had become
"defunct and extinct" The trouble
appeared when the report OF the Mary
land Church Extension Society was
read. It contained a recommendation
that the sum OF S337.0l be paid to the
Rev. W. A. Melvin. OF First Church,
Washington. TO reimburse him for
money he has advanced with which to
purchase a portable church building TO
place upon a lot in the northern sec
ton Of that city, TO be known as the
Park Road Church.
IL was claimed that on account Of
the financial condition OF the Dis
trict society, it was unable TO meet
the obligation. and asked the Mary
land society TO reimburse the Rev.
Mr.. Melvin. which it finally did, but
not until the ministers made II plain
that they were of the opinion that
the District OF Columbia society
should have met its obligations. The
portable structure cost something
over 5000, and but about one-half OF
the amount had been returned TO the
Rev. Mr. Melvin. and the hoard
thought he should be reimbursed at
once. The Rev. DR. John NJ. Holmes,
the church extension superintendent,
and the Rev. Dr.. J. NJ. Sheridan both
championed Mr.. Melyn's cause IN
eloquent style. Several Of the Wash
ington ministers Joined the discus
sion. which for a time was decidedly
spicy.
Mutual Relief Society.
AT the meeting OF the Mutual Re
lief Society in the morning IL was
decided that in the future no mem
Der should be received into it over 60
years Of age. and then not until he
had secured a health certificate from
his family physician. All the officers

NOW IS THE TIME TO SET HENS
Chicks Will Thrive Better If Hatched
in Cool Weather.

There is practically everything to
be gained and nothing to be lost by
setting hens as soon as possible. The
chicks will thrive much better during
the cooler weather, and the hen
should be spared from setting dur
ing the warmer weather. The first
young chickens marketed always
bring the best prices, and the early
Matched pullets Will mature in full
time to lay next fall, which is not true
of the later ones. Winter eggs de-
pend partly on early Matching.
Select healthy hen and try her for
day or two on the nest before risk
ing valuable eggs under her. An odd
number of eggs-usually eleven, thir-
teen, or fifteen-should be used, par
ticularly in cool weather, as they lie
in a more nearly perfect circle.
AS soon as the hen becomes broody,
Matching room or a place where the
other hens will not have a chance to
disturb her. The nest should be six
teen or eighteen inches square, and
at least eight inches deep, depending
somewhat upon the size of the hen,
but it must be roomy. In nature it
would be placed OH the ground, and
if this is not possible a large sod
should be placed in the bottom of the
nest and then covered with straw to
help keep the eggs from drying out too
rapidly.
Either allow the hen to leave The
nest for food and water whenever
she wishes or remove her once day
for that purpose.
Lice should be controlled by dust
ing the hen with insect powder at
the beginning and again ten days
later. 1t is a good plan to rub a
bit of blue ointment about the size
of a pea into the skin beneath the
vent and to rub little more into the
feathers on the under side of the wing
at Matching time This is partly rub
bed off on the chicks and helps keep
the lice away.
Remove the chicks as rapidly as
Matched and later return them all to-
gether to the hen for brooding, but be
careful that they are not chilled while
away from the mother.

tional conventions. This plank would
differ from all others in that it would
give the two parties the novel sensa-
ton of being of one and the same mind
in regard to one plank at least, for the
league proposes the same plank for
both.
The plank is one to diminish the risk
of future wars and does not urge any
anti-preparedness measures or seek to
end the present European war.
The plank would read as follows:
I'VE endorse the proposal that a
league of nations be formed for joint
action under such regulations as such
league shall adopt against any nation
which proposes to make war without
prior recourse to such world tribunals
and methods of conciliation as such
league of nations shall have duly ap
proved"

TO DISCUSS MODERN RELIGION
A. W. Taylor Will Lecture on What
Church Contributes to Society,

What are the positive contributions
of churches to modern civilization
That is the question which Prof. A. w.
Taylor of the Missouri Bible College
proposes to answer at his first lecture
at the Y. NJ. G. A Auditorium at $50
o'clock next Sunday morning. The
subject of his lecture will be where
the Church Has Succeeded"
The next Sunday morning Professor
Taylor will give lecture on where
the Church Is Falling" In the second
lecture, Professor Taylor will point
out where the church needs to readapt
its methods and message to the chang
ing civilization in order that it may
make as great a contribution in the
future as it has in the past.
The criticisms of the critics of the
church will be discussed at these lee
lures to see what truth there is in
them and to see how the church may
profit by them.
The two lectures will be given under
the auspices of the Y w C. A. and the
Y. NJ. c. A. Women students are in
vited as well as men.
Open discussion will be allowed af-
ter each lecture.

MOTHERS PENSIONS

From a cold-blooded economic
standpoint, it seems that mothers
pensions would be an excellent thing.
They would be an incentive against
race suicide, and they would give the
mother some slight remuneration for
her service to her family and society,
say the prOpagandists.
1t is generally granted that the
mothers need pensions, particularly
those of the lower classes, on whom,
as a rule, the burden of large families
falls heaviest. LabOring ceaselessly
from morning until night, giving of
their strength and vitality to bring in
to the world more children than they
can satisfactorily support, they receive
in return mere subsistence. Insofar
as these pensions would make life cas-
ltT LOT lHc pitllully uuuci pau "oihSh
of the lower classes, the reform would
be a good thing.
But as a preventive for race suicide,
it could hardly be a success, since it
would appeal only to the poorly paid
classes. where families are already
over-large. 1t would be regarded
with disgust by most of the middle
and upper-class families, where child
less families are more frequent.
And how about the repugnance with
which the public would view the idea
of commercializing motherhood?
Would the reform not fall short of at
tanning the desired results? Would not
the improvement of working and liv-
ing conditions for the poorer classes
be better way of making life easier
for the mothers who would really be
benefited by such a pension?
A few dollars? They are gone in
day or a week But better place to
live-sanitary, light, made possible by
the enforcement of more stringent well
fare laws-wOuld be joy that would
last.
Let us find another way of helping
the mothers.

subject matter was dry nor that the
students have been too busy. A great
deal of the fault has been in the un-
attractiveness, the failure to appeal, so
characteristic of the announced titles
of University lectures.
The lecturer who has a message for
the multitudes should be familiar
enough with human nature to know
that the universal resistance to knowl-
edge can be overcome and an audience
can be secured by an attractive, ap-
pealing title. W.D.

Did you ever try it?
Or maybe it was a penny that you
dropped. Anyway, the result was the
same. If you were too thin and lanky,
the blamed machine showed conclus-
lively that you were growing thinner;
if you were too fat it showed beyond
the shadow of a doubt that you were
getting much-ah-plumper. And
your companions, who induced you to
drop your nickel or your penny in the
slot, all laughed and said 81 told you
So" Ugh!
The machines are chiefly found in
railway stations, where they furnish
a few minutes of diversion for bored
travellers waiting for trains. Occas-
ionally you find one of them in a store,
but they aren't really at home there.
Accompanying the innocent looking
little weighing machine is usually
found another slot device for separat-
ing the bored traveller from his super
fiuous nickels and pennies-the gum
machine. Having weighed yourself
and lost your temper and gone out

other penny for a stale slab of gum
