Jewish Federation
Goes Over Top in
Drive for $4,000
Exceeds Mark Set for New
Members by More
Than 800

The campaign Of the Federation for
the Support of Jewish Philanthropic
Societies for $4,000 members passed
its goal by more than 500, according
to incomplete reports made last night
at the annual meeting Of the fedora
tion, held in the Manhattan Opera
House. With complete reports from
many workers yet to come and exclu-
sive Of .10,500 members promised by
Jewish fraternal orders, the total an
nounccd last night was 50,S2l.
ut is only year since we started
out to raise the amount necessary for
the twenty-one Institutions affiliated
with US at that time" said Felix NJ
Warburg, president of the federation,
who presided. Through the efforts OF
a splendid group Of men we succeeded
in a short while in raising s., 500 900
This enabled us to distribute among
the institutions affiliated amounts
larger than the guarantee we had un-
dcrtaken. Since then We have had
affiliated with US additional institu-
tions so that to-day we have eighty six
institutions belonging to the fedora
ton, with an annual budget Of about
$5,OA1 900"
The financial report for the year was
read by Harry Sachs. treasurer of the
federation. Mr.. Sachs said that the
income from Jewish philanthropies in
New York City had increased steadily
from S1,550,O00 in 1915 to S16OO, 900
in 1916, and s2.10O,00O in 1917. The full
sum pledged by the 10000 new mem
bers had not yet been computed, he
said. DR.. julius Goldman, first vice
president of the federation, gave de-
tailed account of how the funds col
lccted were expended and how control
over them was exercised.

the teams in the drive, presented on

Calvary Church to
Consolidate With
Collegiate Baptist
Joint Congregation Will
Move to New Building
at 57th Street

Calvary Church. whose pulpit has re-
mained vacant since the Rcv. DR.. Joseph
W. Kemp resigned a year and halt
AGO, is about to enter another phase
Of its hitherto stormy career and will
consolidate with the Collegintc Baptist
Church of the Covenant, Thirty-third
Street near Ninth Avenue.
This action was announced yesterday
from the pulpits of both ch, rches. The
Collegiate property is to be sold and
the amount realized is to go to cndow
the Calvary Baptist Church, to the
building of which, Fifty-seventh Street
near Seventh Avenue, the congregation
will shortly move.
The present pastor Of the Collegiate
Church, the Rev. DR.. Oscar Haywood
is to retire, and Calvary intends to call
a pastor for the combined congrcga
tions.
In 1915 Calvary made a tentative
merger with the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church. One of the rows that have
been continually running the harmony
of the institution caused the two insti
tutions to sever relations.
Eighteen months ago the Rev. DR..
Kemp left Calvary's pulpit after a pro-
tracted squabble with his trustees. The
congregation had taken sides in the
struggle and number of them fol-
lowed the resigning pastor to Harlem.
where he is now in charge Of the
Metropolitan Tabernacle.
The Broadway Baptist Church, Tooth
Street and Fifth Avenue, and the Wads-
worth Avenue Baptist Church, Wads
worth Avenue and 10th Street, have
joined to build q new place of COM
mon worship on Washington Heights.

Housewives Call
For Federal Control
OF Prices of Food

The housewife has been doing all
she can ever since April. 1t is now
time for the food administration to
definitely fix prices of foodstuHs and to
help food conservation and patriotism
by putting them within the purchasing
power of the average family purse"
This was the answer made Yesterday
by Professor May h. Van Arsdale, pro-
fessor of foods and cookery at Teach
ers College. Columbia University. to
the latest food edicts from Washing.
ton which assume that "thc great body
Of loyal women will strengthen their
efforts" toward food conservation,
Food conservation has been too ex-
pcnsive," Professor Van Arsdalc said.
Every substitute for meat, for sugar.
Tor wheat, has scared out Of sight, and
yet the housekccper is asked to use
them just the same. The price Of sugar
and wheat have been fixed, but those
We dare not use.
Abnormal Times
"In normal economic times we should
expect articles in great demand to rise
in price. These, however, are not nor
NAL times, economically or otherwise.
People arc not eating cornmeal be-
cause they like it, They are eating it
because they are told to. and yet they
must pay more for it than for wheat,
which they infinitely prefer.

country, and food conservation can
never be successful until this is done.

Glad Bakers Are To BE Controlled
The news that bakers are to be con-

will be grateful news to the housewives,
Professor Van Arsdale said
wv omen who have wished to be patri

find that he is still selling wheat bread
or that the wheat-saving breads must
be ordered twentyfour hours in ad-
vance. Then they have gone home
to try making it themselves out Of
buckwheat and rye, and home baking is
an expensive process these days.

cipes and menus, we can use the scraps
of bread and save the meat and do all
these things, but we can't buy honey

Art

The extensive collection of carved
worries obtained from the Mangbetu
negroes of Africa by the Lang Chaplin
expedition of the American Museum Of
Natural History is now installed for
public view in the Morgan hall of
gems. The collection consists Of
images, fetichcs, war trumpets, musical
instruments, cups, bracelets, hair or
other articles carved by the ucgroc 5
with their primitive tools.
Conspicuous are the great carved
horns made from huge tusks, portions
being covered with elephant hide and
okap skin; these were used on festival
occasions. Others bear images Of
chiefs, their wives and children. There
are huge drinking vessels, made by
joining the horns Of the forest an
te!ope, and from the perfection of the
carvings one would imagine chat mod
ern instruments had been used instead
Of the native iron tools.
The museums party was fortunate in
securing this fine collection, an op-
portunity which came because Okando,
the last of an old line of kings, was
willing, through superstition, to part
with the best he had. In this way the
museum acquired g. unique collection.
The Metropolitan Museum for sew
eral years has admitted soldiers and
sailors in uniform free on the two
pay Mondays and Fridays. Since
America entered the war one museum
member is specially detailed to meet
any soldiers and sailors and to show
them the collections. The group starts
each day at 2 O'Clock, Sunday included,
from the Fifth Avenue entrance.
One Of the seasons most interesting
events in art circles is the exhibition
Of the work of Rudolph Evans, an
American sculptor, which opens to-day
in Mr.. Evans's studio. II Washington
Place. Mr.. Evans is one of only three
American sculptors who hayc ever ex-
hibited full length figures in the Paris
Salon.
Art followers will be particularly in
terested in "The Golden Hour" the
full length bronze by Mr.. Evans for
Frank A. Vanderlip. It was this work
which won the Medaillc dc Bronze for
MIR. Evans at the Paris Salon. A copy
Of the bronze was afterward purchased
by the French government for the
Luxembourg Museum
Among other examples of Mr.. Evans's
work which will be exhibited are q
head of Maude Adams and bust Of
Edgar Allan Poe. There are several
Gfe-size figures in the collection.
