Lack of competent leadership in
Quaker churches which has been rec
ognized by several sessions Of yearly
meetings again was deplored today at
the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends
at East Main Street Friends church,
which opened this morning. A COM
mittee on efficiency recommended a
system Of filling the want.
With President Robert L. Kelly Of
Earlham College presiding, the roll
of delegates and alternates was read
with an unusually good response, Few
were ,,bsent and they were expected to
arrive to make the official attendance
complete.
Want Better Leaders
The question Of better qualif1ca-
tions for Friends ministers, which was
taken up in committee meetings yes
terday, came up again this morning
and became one of the chief prob
lens for solution at the meeting.
Charles e. Tebbetts, the chairman.
was requested to have committee
meetings starting this afternoon. to
prepare report for Thursdays meet
ing on Ministry and Oversight.
Added to the research outline Of
the committee was a communication
from S. Edgar Nicholson, editor of
The American Friend, who suggested
consideration of plan to provide ade-
quate means to train those who feel
they are called to preach.
His communication follows:
In this day of educational advan-
tages and social culture, when every
family almost is reading family and
when our young people are reaching
out after better things, we are con-
cerned that our ministry shall be
kept fully abreast of the standard Of
the age in which we live.

ROBBINS WANTS
BRIDGE EXPERT
TO Give ADVICE

A plan for the employment of John
L. Harrington of Kansas City, recog-
nized as the foremost bridge engineer
OF the country, to map out a policy of
bridge construction over the White
water river within the corporation linn.
its Of Richmond, will be proposed to
the county commissioners this after
noon by Mayor Robbins.
Mr.. Harrington arrived in Richmond
today for the purpose of recommend
ing the kind of bridge to be construct
ed across the river at Main street
Mayor Robbins and other citizens con-
ceived the notion that it would be a
wise plan to secure this expert to pre-
pare a definite bridge construction
policy for the commissioners to pur.
sue for the next twenty or twenty-five
years, thus doing away with the hit
and-miss" procedure followed in the
past
By securing the services of Mr.. Har-
rfngton, it will be pointed out to the
commissioners, he can not only devise
the best kind Of bridge for Main
street but can also plan the bridge to
be constructed in the south end and
the bridge which will eventually have
to replace the rapidly deteriorating
Doran bridge. The problem of avoid
ing railroad grade crossings in bridge
construction could be worked out by
Mr.. Harrington in the formulation of
q definite bridge policy.

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH
WOULD BRING GREAT
BENEFIT TO PEOPLE

Nothing will be Of greater bene-
fit to Richmond than Industrial ex-
pansion"
These were the words of Charles
L. Hebble, manager Of the civic and
Industrial department Of the Cincin-
natl, O., Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Hebble substituted on the pro-
gram of the 100000 Industrial pro-
motion dinner last night in the place
Of Anderson Moore Of New Albany,
who was detained.
One of the first essentials of an in
dustrial promotion enterprise is to
be able to answer questions and sup
ply Information which a prospective
factory would demand.
Many Require Assistance
Sometimes the information will be
all that is required, Mr.. Hebble said,
but many times the factory will re-
quire help.
He told OF instances in which Gin
cinnati had lost industries in compe-
tition with other cities bidding for
them because she had not had any
thing to offer in the way of financial
assistance.
He advised the establishment Of
fund, such as is planned here, to place
the Commercial club in a position to
help factories move. supply them with
buildings, or put them on their feet.
Although Mr.. Hebble said Cincin.
natl annually spent $4,000 to induce
conventions to gather there and that
the visitors spent thousands of dol
lars while in the city. he said the
benefits, financial and otherwise, were
not to be compared with the location
of single large factory.
