GREAT EFFORT TODAY
in Behalf OF CHURCH
St. Martins Pensioners Will Take
Advantage of Holiday.

When all the teams had made
their returns last night, st. Martins
Catholic Church had s12,s18 In its
campaign to pay of in one week the
$4,000 debt resting on the church.
The campaigners were undaunted by
their failure to reach the $4,000
mark yesterday and resolved to lake
advantage of the holiday today to
make up the ground lost.
Rev. Eugene A. Hannah. pastor Of
the church. told the workers at their
regular meeting in the clubhouse
adjoining the church last night that
every parishioner who has not yet
contributed should regard IL as .
duty to do so before the end of the
week.
The executive committee decided
last night to appoint a committee
to appeal to a number of leading
merchants outside the parish for aid.
Approximately $500 is needed to
go over the top" and the teams
have today and tomorrow in which
to raise the bulk of it. II the fund
is still below the $4,000 mark Sat
urday night it is expected that a
final effort will be made to get It
Sunday.
Several prominent speakers will
be invited to address the mass meet
ing in the church Sunday night at
the formal closing OF the campaign.

.IZETTA JEWEL Will
STICK To BUSINESS
Former Stage Star Denies Reported
Return to Footlights.

Izetta Jewel last night denied that
she had any immediate intention OF re-
turning to the stage, and seemed sur
prised that . report of that character
should have received credence from
any source.
The former popular leading woman
for the Poll Theater-now the widow
OF Representative William Gay Brown,
jr., Of West Virginia-is here for q few
days from her home at st. Adams,
Long Island. N. Y. and is stopping
with Mr.. and Mrs. George H. Eel
lers, jr.. at the wellington, Park road
and Seventeenth street northwest.
Even il had any strong desire to
go on the stage again. said Mrs.
Brown, II could not entertain the
thought under present conditions, as
my business affairs demand my whole
attention. and, besides, I have a little
daughter that needs a mothers care.
You may state, however. that If
ever do appear before the footIights
again, my first thought would be to
come here and greet my many friends
in dear. old Washington, where L
know a warm reception would await
me.
True, I've had many fattering offers
to return to the stage-ofrers that
would have pleased me beyond meas
ure in the days when 1 was a sure
enough actress-but however tempting
they were and all that, II is utterly
impossible for me to give the subject
any consideration under present cir
cumstances.
IF I should decide to change my
mind. which now seems improbable.
The Herald readers may depend upon
getting first information to that ef-

daughter, June" who celebrated her

GIVES FOOD WARMING
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

The effect of this delayed move
ment has been MANIFOLD:
Ito jeopardiZe the safety of a
great deal OF the soft corn and per-
ishables, such as potatoes.
2-The structure in flow of distri-
button has entirely disturbed the
price conditions in the country by
practically suspending the law of
supply and demand. The margin
between the farmer and the con-
sumer in many commodities were
never wider than they are today
because the consuming trades are
under-supplied and the farmers
compete for transportation. Prices
of the coarse grains have reached
unheard-of levels, while the limited
transportation has diminished the
farmers returns.
3The cost of grains for feeding
livestock has so increased to the
feeders of finished cattle that they
face serious losses. The costs of
the dairying industries have neces-
sarily greatly increased.
Through the large consuming
areas we have been living on re-
serves through the period Of scant
supplies These reserves are in
many sections approaching exhaus-
tion-
-we have been unable to trans
port to seaboard the necessary
foodstutfs for the allies. This has
not been due so much to the actual
inability Of the railways giving pri-
ortty to foodstuffs for allied ship
ping as 1t has been to bringing
products from the farms to the ter
minal markets where 1t can be ag-
gregated, prepared and purchased
By the allies.
Considerable progress has been
made in the last ten days but con-
tfnued rises in the price of cereal
commodities and the failure to Sc
cure, sufficient surplus over imme-
diate domestic consumption to feed
the allies, are evidence that there
is still a deficiency in food cars
and that the need be still further
increased. The situation calls for
every cooperation Of the public

Men are a bad lot. Billy said so.
They are base deceivers. He said that

precious few after his elimination of
the uneligibles from a girls list OF
prospects.

Schedule Makers Find
Fixing Dates Rather Hard

Pittsburgh, Jan. 25.-The joint
schedule committee of the two ma
jor leagues-Messrs. Dreyfuss, john
son and Heydler-are finding a great
deal more difficulty in arranging
dates for the coming season than is
usual, so that they were unable to
wind up their work yesterday. The
meeting adjourned last night with
about three-fourths of the work
done. In fact the schedule makers
barely reached the end of August in
their date figuring, which also means
that the majority of the holiday
dates have been agreed on. Labor
Day being the only one TO come in
the deliberations to-day.
Ban Johnson and his secretary
William Harridge, had reservations
on the o'clock train last night for
Chicago, and were forced to can
eel them, but Mr.. johnson said that
he was confident of getting through
the work to-day. Secretary John
Heydler was plainly disappointed at
not finishing up yesterday, as it is
well known that Barney Dreyfuss is
an ade~' e drafting schedules, and
il W. expected that a few hours
wculu suffice to agree on dates and
get the two documents ready.
Railroad problems have entered
largely into the discussions. how
ever, and the committee is going a
little slower for the reason that they
want to be fortified for letting
down on the railroad efficiency of
former seasons. Garry Hermann,
chairman of the National Commits
sion, while not member OF the
schedule committee, stayed over to-
day, and will likely be member of
the party until the work is COM
pleted.

Big Game in FELTON, Hall To-
night; Second Squads
in Contest

Central tossers will journey to
Steelton tonight where they will
play the Steelton High five. 1t is
expected to be a fast and interesting
contest. The two teams are even
ly matched. Owing to DR.. Garfield's
fuel edict and also to the fact that
the hall was being used this week,
the Central team has been able to
hold but one practice.
Wright, the speedy forward, will
again be In. the lineup. Central fol-
lowers are expecting big things of
this boy. He is expected to play
leading part in Centrars victory.
Frank in the Game
Frank will try hard to keep his
place as highest scorer. During the
last week he has been practising
shooting fouls and has made a mark
ed Improvement. The remainder of
the team will probably be the same
as that which started against Leba-
non last week. Wolfe and Fields
will play the two guard positions,
Frank at center, Wright and Good
iel at forwards. Coach Wallower
may make some change at the last
minute.
The scrubs will accompany the
first team and will play the Steelton
second team between the halves. The
scrubs will consist of Robson, Le-
van, Herring, Early, Page and Nc
Caleb.

Kill Big Bull Elk;
Sixteen Shots Necessary

State College, Pa, Jan. 25.-Three
members of the State Game Com
mission yesterday shot and killed the
big bull elk, which was released in
the Seven Mountains five years ago
in an effort to restook central Penn
sylVania forests with big game. At
ter three days hunt the commits
sioners located their quarry at In
glesbee, Center county. Sixteen shots
were fired before the elk fell.
The carcass weighed about 500
pounds, which is considerably below
normal, INDICATING that the game
suffered through lack of food during
the severe winter. The other nine
elks, all cows, are to be unmolested,
but the shooting of the male animal
prevents any further attempt to pro-
pagate elk in this section. The dead
animal was shipped to the Game
Commissions headquarters. at Har-
risburg.
