But the women do not confine
themselves to gifts of money alone.
They are doing large educational

purity of life."
In the program of personal serY-
ice for this year the women adopted
tie following resolution: e
That we continue organized eff
fort to reach the oppressed and un-
saved in our Immediate localities.
That to this end we study the state
and federal statutes relating to
health, employment Of women and
children. and general public vel
fare, reporting lack Of enforcement
to the proper authorities. That We
study the policies and methods of
missionary and social service or
ganizations, adapting those best
suited to our aim of preventing and
eradicating community evils and
making known the power of God
unto salvation. That we Astrive to
meet the needs of our soiiiers, to
pray for them, and continueNto help
the Red Cross and our own demon

habilitate the war-strfcken coun-
tries OF Europe.
That we bend every effort to
promote food conservation, and to
raise the standard of health in our
communities. That in cities of

Are you used to thinking of wo-
mans part in church work as mere
ly that of going to Sunday School,
prayer meeting and preaching serv-
Ices, giving pink teas occasionally
In honor Of distinguished visitors,
and a chicken or oyster supper now
and then to raise funds for a new
suit Of clothes for the poorly-paid
pastor?
If so, probably you have not been
to church recently,
Since the Southern Baptist wo-
men began their organized work
through the Woman's Missionary
Union they have contributed more
than $5,00O,OO0 in cash to the vari-
Gus causes fostered by the demoni-
nation, and when the value Of boxes
they have made up for orphan chill
dren and other benevolent causes is
added their total contributions reach
the sum Of $5,71O,433.71.
Encouraged by the general spirit
Of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign,
however, the women gladly assumed
the task Of raising S15,000,0O0 dur
ing the next five years, or one-fifth
the total sum sought in the cam
palgn, and their leaders have no
doubt that they will raise every cent
Of this amount and more.
And the .women's part of the
money is going to be raised through
the hard work, earnings and sacri-
fices of the women themselves and
not through sums contributed by
the men Of their families.
Legitimate Giving VIII Raise Fund.
Nor are the women going to de-
pend upon church suppers, fairs, ba-
zaars, ice cream socials, pink teas
and things of that kind to assist
them in their undertaking. All such
methods Of raising money for reIig-
ious purposes are frowned upon by
the leaders of the Woman's Mission
ary Union. Instead, the women will
work, sacrifice and save in order
that they may during the next five
years give 100000 to tia ad-
vancement of the Kingdom of God
In the world through larger contri-
buttons to foreign, home and state
missions, Christian education, hos
pitals, orphanages, ministerial relief
and other equally deserving benevo-
Iences.

Nebraska Senator Staunchly
Uph0IdS Leauue OF Nations

Baltimore, Sept rs. - Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska vigorously
defended the league of nations cove
nant in an address under the aus
pieces of the Baltimore Press club.
The speaker declared the United
States was amply protected against
unnecessary wars by the fact that
the vote of the supreme council of
the league of nations must be unani-
nous before a declaration in favor
of war will be binding.
There can be no doubt" the SEN
ator said, that the world wants to
get rid Of war. The next thing to
realize is that this league of nations
is not only remedy for war, but it
is the only remedy that is proposed.
There is no other. Its critics sug-
gest no other; they predict no other.
1t is this or none if we want to pre-
vent war"

Purchases Are Limited.
An exit has been provided some
distance from the entrance SO Gus

Captain Fink acted as floor walker.
Purchases by one customer must
not exceed $50, Captain Fink stated.
This limit is fixed to enable as many
people as possible to secure mer-

workers were of everyday occur
renee, he alleged, and in this con-
| nection he sketched dramatically the
story of the killing of one woman,
an organizer of mine workers, which
occurred before the steel strike was
called.
Fitzpatrick deductions from this
occurrence led to sharp questioning
by senators. A
do you feel that the steel com
pany officials directly ordered the
killing of this woman?" asked Sen
ator Sterling, republican, South
Dakota.
"Yes, do" Fitzpatrick re-
sponded.

decided upon murder?" ...

Elsewhere Fair Treatment.
Elsewhere in the steel industry,
the witness said, striking workers
were meeting with fair treatment.
Fitzpatrick said organization of
the steel industry had been decided
upon by the American Federation
of Labor because it was a dad
spot in the industrial situation"
with the men forced to work long
hours at small wages and under
bad conditions.
With the actual calling of the
strike, a list of IL demands had
been made upon which the "a
unions had combined, Fitzpatrick
said. These demands included
recognition of collective bargaining.
the eight-hour day, reinstatement
with pay of all men discharged for
union activities and adoption of the
CHECK off" system by which the
companies would collect union dues
from the men. Wages were not
specifically mentioned.
On this last subject Fitzpatrick
had two views. "The industry pays
less than paupers get" he said at
one point, but several times later
he asserted that money was not the
issue. j..
"The hours are terrible, the men
tell US. The conditions are awful.
Their women want more happi-
ness"
Referring to Sc a day as the
wage drawn by highly skilled steel
workers, Fitzpatrick said this was
"a mere pittance for the work they
do" Average wages he said, were
around 40 cents an hour.

The LiDing Wags
Not Maximum

Even if the great majority Of
workers were now in receipt of more
than living wages, there are no good reasons
why rates Of pay should be lowered. After
all, living wage is not necessarily the full
measure Of justice. All the Catholic authori-
ties on the subject explicitly declare that
this is only the minimum Of justice. In
country as rich as ours, there are very few
cases in which it is possible to prove that the
worker would be getting more than that to
which he has right if he were paid some
thing in excess Of this ethical minimum.
The only persons who would benefit
considerably through general reduction Of
wages are the less efficient among the capt.
talists, and the more comfortable sections Of
the consumers. The wage-earners would lose
more in remuneration than they would gain
from whatever fall in prices occurred as
direct result Of the fall in wages.
On grounds both Of justice and sound
economics, we should give our hearty sup
port to all legitimate efforts made by labor
to resist general wage reductions"

Honors Old Tires That

How conditions have changed
with regard to tire performance finds
an illustration in the case of Hope
Brewer of Athalmer, B. c. Not so
many years ago tires were anathema,
and few words of praise came their
way. Nowadays tire users find so
much satisfaction in their tires that
they are continually Boosting of
them to their friends. Mr.. Brewer
is so proud of two United States
nobby treads that gave him good
service that he has hung them UP in
his garage as trophies of many
years of pleasurable motoring.
On one of these tires Mr.. Brewer
got a mileage of 1880 and on the
other 1900. The mileage record
was noteworthy, but not so much so
as the number of years they gave
service. The tires were part of the
equipment of car which Mr..
Brewer bought in 1912. One of the
tires ran until the end of 1918, and
the other has just ended its useful
ness.
Nobby treads are favorite tire
