BALTIMORE. September 27.-When

pointments-in which he made a
clean sweep of all democratic heads

ministration-to the second branch OF

himself in a position where. he can

tion was promoted in some measure,
no doubt. by the clean sweep the
mayor made. which. 1t is thought
argues badly for men holding minor
positions. Until the appointments
were announced the idea prevailed
that many democrats in these posi-
tions would hold on in spite OF the
political changes. as their dismissal
would, It was said, badly demoralize
many of the departments.
The sweep made by the mayor led
to the conclusion that the clamor for
patronage was more than he was
willing to stand and the men holding
tho smaller jobs would go the way, OF
those at the head. Howard Bryant

SOCIAL CENTER
WORK TO BEGIN
ALL over CITY
To Introduce Neighbors With
out Waiting for Fire or
Accident to Come
Along.

What the country needs most at
the present time, in the way of
socialization, is community service
for peace time on war time lines,
says f. c. Thomas, in charge of
community work for various social
centers OF Omaha.
Community service is organized
friendship, localized and made prac-
teal" said Mr.. Thomas 1t is the
medium through which residents of
a community get together and truly
become members of the community,
with a consequent real interest in
community welfare, prosperity and
stability.
No Place for Girls.
There is great need for such
service. During the war our young
men were brought together in large
numbers for military training, but
now the same young men and as
many young women will continue
to congregate as workers in our
cities, and they will be far more
lonely and unprovided with whole
some opportunities for recreation
than the soldiers have ever been.
There is, in most cities, and
Omaha is no exception, hardly any
suitable place where young women
can meet and make acquaintance.
When Trouble Comes.
young people will get together.
If they cannot meet under favorable
conditions they will resort to the
streets and places where the sur
roundings are questionable. We
criticise athem for their action and
yet never stop to think that they
are following practically the only
path that is open to them.
Community service comes into
being automatically in times of
stress. Start an epidemic, let loose
a flood, launch war or burn up
town and everyone suddenly finds
out that all the people they never
knew and never cared to know
were NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with bones
and babies, with hearts and flaming
souls, folks who could weep with
you stand back to back with you
and fight to the death.
Girl on Burning Roof.
"Place a girl you never knew and
never heard of on the top floor of
burning building for just five
minutes, and city will hold its
breath. men will cry out and wom-
en- will weep. SINCE that girl with
the slow smouldering fires of lone
illness burning through the years,
wreck her and ruin her by a life
time of social neglect, and who
cares? Do you?
Community centers will be or
ganized in parts of the city where
residents are interested. Song lead
ers, athletic instructors, speakers
and leaders for games will be fur
nished free by headquarters office,
ABS Securities building, to any COM
munity asking for such service.
