Baltimore American: The patched

shoulders of the overburdened consumer

think of conditions.
washington Star: strike is likely to
become rather mild and lonely without
the usual accompaniment of public ex-
hortation.

a bull ring, during a storm in Mexico
City, was in his element. Now if he gets
safely away with the box receipts he will

Providence Journal: These are times
when extravaganza runs riot, but it does
seem as If everybody ought to be will

daylight again next year.
Atlanta Constitution: At least there
plenty of work for book agents in Ger

sword is telling why the Germans didn't
win the war

Large Incomes Derived
From Checking Privileges

E ROM time to time something
y happens that throws more or
less lurid light on the inside workings
of the hat checking industry. Patrons
of hotels and restaurants have even
heard that the small change they give
to smiling girls and boys IN the check
room are turned over to some man
higher up who wakes rich on tips and
pays his hirelings pittance.
Miss Mildred Hildebrand Of Chi
cago possesses beauty and winning
smile, two invaluable assets for ex-
tracing tips from men. Miss Mil
dred, formerly employed at the La
Sale hotel, is suing that establish
ment for $4,000, which she estimates
to be the sum given her in tips dur
ing the six months she checked
patrons hats and coats. According
to Miss Mildred's testimony, given in
the solemn atmosphere of court, the
girls are chosen for their good looks
and engaging ways and after they
have piled both to the limit during a
working day, the Joss takes their
earnings.
Two other girls are suing the hotel,
one for $1,000 and the other for $1,000.
Even when business is dull it was as
serted that the girls never got less

when Nathan Bangs, Joshua Soule
and other leaders expressed the opin-
ion that Methodism should Join in
the organized missionary movement.
Regardless of the feeling shown,
these pioneers, on April 5, 1919, or
ganized the first missionary society
OF American Methodism. The
churches in all the leading cities
throughout the country were author
lied to organize auxiliary societies.
The women were the first to orga-
nize, under the name of the Female
Missionary Society of New York City.
The young men quickly followed, or
ganizing in the same year, the Young
Mems Missionary Society. Battling
against difficulties of which we can
have but little appreciation, these
pioneers continued their efforts un-
til today our churches, schools and
hospitals are sources of uplift and
healing in the home and foreign
fields. AS in the past 1t was a great
need which brought about the pow
erful efforts embodied in the world
programme of the Centenary move
ment. At the annual meeting in
1916, our Board of Missions was re-
minded that 1919 marked the Tooth
anniversary of the first American
Methodist Missionary Society. The
Board was unanimous in its ap-
prevail of a plan to celebrate this
centenary. 1t was suggested that
the Methodist Episcopal church be
invited to join in the celebration.
The invitation was enthusiastically
accepted. In 1919, Methodism caught
missionary vision; today. we cele-
brate the catching of that vision.
We now ask ourselves the method of
that celebration. We are not to
waive flags. make noises. or stage
pageants. With the dignity becom-
ing mighty church, and with a con-
secration befitting the event we
celebrate. our Methodism has re-
solved that the occasion shall be one
or dedication. Today we celebrate
by setting our hands with resolu-
ton to the task of achieving the Wis
ion which our fathers caught.
Our solemn purpose is to make
successful a programme embracing
at least four elements: We shall
deepen our spiritual life; we must
