is to unite the various activities OF
the women in the churches under one
organized band. for the sake Of more
effective cooperation in civic, mis-
sionary and patriotic activities
It is suggested thai any clurck that
votes to unite in the federation may
do so by sending in a written state
ment of its desire to join II all the
churches Of the city enter the move
ment, it will mean the building OF
one Of the strongest organizations
for public good that any city could
strong enough to drive out the red
light district by mere quiet inllu-
ence and without any open campaign.
In Ell Paso the federation would give
an easily modified force which could
insure the success OF any good, public
enterprise. If, however. the fedora
ton decides to go into any movement
and some Of the churches wish TO
keep out. all that is required is that
those churches merely state their de-
sire, and they will not be asked 10
join. Provision is made for the most
complete freedom OF each church But
an instrument is provided for effec-
tive, concerted action by the churches
when they see fit to employ il.
At the banquet TO be held on Wash
ington's birthday anniversary each
church that desires to join the fed
Grafton will be represented by pas

time a constitution will be adopted,

It is q part Of the spirit of the times.
A committee has been at work
studying the federation in other cit
ies and has called a meeting Of an
interchurch council to be held on the
evening OF Washington's birthday an
niTsrsary. At this meeting the COM
mittee will report with its sugges>
tons. These suggestions are based
on actual results achieved in cities
like Chicago and Cleveland.
The plan is something like this: To
have five departments-departmen
OF religious education. community
evangelism, public welfare, church
publicity and womanis work.
The department OF religious edu-
cation, with a local expert at the
head. is to raise the general stand

duct a training school for teachersi

what children are in no Sunday school.
The department of community
evangelism IN Cleveland resulted in
over 1000 new church members last
year. The idea is to develop the ef-
ficieucy Of local churches in doing
their own evangelistic work, without
the necessity Of calling in outside
workers Without any evangelist al

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
ABOLISHES SECRETARY

Austin, Texas Jan. 26.-At the first
meeting of the new state highway
commission. one OF its first official
acts was to abolish the position OF
secretary, saving the state the sum
of $4,000 annually The old commits
sion had also dispensed with the serv-
ices Of a secretary and the new COM
mission ratified this action.
This action followed a lengthy con-
ference held with Gov. Hobby, who
told the members Of the new commits
department as economically as pos
sible, especially during the period Of
the war. The duties Of secretary will
devolve upon Charles A Duren, the
