pies bodies have already acted in the

ment's unexpectedly quick decision 10
end beer making on December L.
Members Of these commissions eX-
press the view that the end OF sa-
looms viii be final. not merely for the
period OF the war.
The Disciples commission states,
for example, that there must be pro-
vided social centers for communities,
and that they must far surpass in
what they offer everything the sa-
looms have ever offered. A stout
stand IS taken that these centers must
serve the people, and not be propa-
gandist stations for any causes
As far as these commissions have
yet gone is TO say that il Y " c. A.
huts are advantageous for soldiers in
fields and cantonments, similar huts
can be made serviceable to the people
Of communities in cities and in small
towns Studies are making of the
plan by declarations of churches, both
city and state, and several Of the for
ward movement weeks TO be held this
fall are TO take up the matter OF sa-
loon substitutes The forthcoming
