over practically all of the United States
which will tax the capacity Of existing
mortgage machinery to the utmost, ac-
cording to the report of the real~estate
securities committee submitted at the
convention of the Investment Bankers
association here tonight.
The report added that a considerable
portion Of many Of our cities. notably
New York, will practically be rebuilt in

pose.
This report stated real estate condi-
tions throughout the country may be
said to be active but not highly specu-

being based not upon present prices and
rents. rather upon a fair compromise
between pre-war and present costs.

PRAYERS SHOULD

VIEW OF BISHOPS
Old Prayer, Modelled After
That for Monarch of Eng
land, Is Rejected by
Episcopalians

Detroit, October 20-Petitions for
divine guidance and protection for the
President of the United States should
be democratic IN form. the house of
bishops decided today in refusing to
concur in action by the house of dep
uties of the Protestant Episcopal
church. in convention here, to retain the
old form of prayer. The bishops In
dorsed the new form of the prayer, re-
jected last week by the deputies. which
also contains a plea for safeguarding
the nation.
1t was the contention that the old
prayer, modelled after that for the mon
arch of ngland in the English prayer
book. presented too strongly n lea fo-
the man and not for the office. The
house of deputies was asked to coa
Cur in adopting the new form.

the bishops ratifying many of the
amendments made by the deputies and
1atier adopted further changes. The
bishops agreed to omit the alternative
ahsrlution in the morning prayer. In
the evening service confession and alb
solution prayers may be, omitted On
Sundays, as permitted on week days.
Another step toward enfraEchisement
of women was taken today when the
house of bishops gave permission to the
missionary district of San Joaquin, Cal,
to admit women to it's legislative coun-
ellis. A commission has been named to
considerable subject of the status Of
women in church councils and is to re-
port in 1922.
ing has found divided sentiment in
the two bodies. The house OF bishops
has selected Philadelphia and the house
of deputies today unanimously decided
upon Portland, Ore. The bishops will
be asked to meet the wishes of the other
house.
Agreement has been reached in the
two houses on the question CT a con-
cordat with the Congregational church,
whereby Congregational ministers may
be ordained to preach in the Episcopal
church. An amendment has been pro-
posed to the church constitution. which,
if adopted at this meeting and atified
in 1922, will remove any obstacles to
give Episcopal ordination to ministers
of other faiths.
The league of nations issue came to
the front again today when the inter-
national affairs committee of the house
of deputies offered a substitute for
Bishop Brewster's resolution adopted
by the house of bishops indorsing "a
covenantof nations" The new resolu-
tions, which, like the Brewster's pro-
opsals found objections in the depu-
ties because they did not fatty declare
for or against the covenant In its pres
ent form, would pledge the support of
the church to "all movements which
aim to draw closer the nations of the
earth" stating the belief that the
league of nations when consummated
in such form as may be agreed upon by
the contracting powers will attain this
end

Bankhead Pleased With
His New Vocational Bill
Republicans Hold Up Berger Case, But He Draws Salary
in Meantime Movement Under Way to Induce
Underwood to Offer for President
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, October 20.-(Special)
Representative Bankhead is very much
delighted and gratified over the pas
sage by the House of his bill to provide
federal aid to the states for the pur-
pose of vocational retraining of civil
ians who become permanently disa bled
by reason of Industrial or occupational
accidents. and who on account of such
disability are unable to follow some
gainful trade or calling.
The consideration of the bill occupied
three days in the, House and developed
the hottest fight of the present spe-
cial session. Mr.. Bankhead was I'M
daunted by the fact that the bill was
opposed by some of the leaders on both
sides of the House. including ex-Speak-

states, annually increasing, for whose

state or federal agency. 1t is estimated
that there are in the country today at
least 100000 men who by reason of in
dustrial accidents are more than SO per
cent disabled in earning capacity, and
1000 being added each year to the
total. The average age of those injured
is from 30 to 33 years, with an aver
age life expectancy of 20 years. On the
basis of the present earning capacity
this means an annual economic loss of
over $50,000.0 900 a year.
The-purpose of the Bankhead bill is
to take these men from the Industrial
scrap heap by giving them IN oppor-
tunity to learn some new trade, put
them back to work instead of being

charity of society

ito population. The states must match
the federal appropriation dollar for dol
lar, but the state can spend as much
as it pleases in the work. Federal
stimulus and leadership is the main
thing sought by the bill and not an ex-
travagant appropriation. 1t is framed

operation in every state in the union.
The bill was strongly supported not
only by the American Federation of
Labor, but also by the National Manu-
facturers association, and all the state
industrial and compensation boards.

Girl Mother Should Be

No Longer Considered
Disgrace, She Says
by Auo.Ia,,e n--.

New York. October a0.-A plea OF
motherhood out of wedlock was made
today at the international conference of
women physicians by DR.. Anna Moutet
of France.
I'm country the population of which
is decreasing" she Said, "it is impor-
tant above all to favor the rate of birth
by every means, to do away with all
obstacles in the protection of all chill
dren indiscriminately.
Motherhood outside of marriage
must no longer be held as disgrace
or a burden, The girl mother must be
lifted. The prejudice which makes her
an object of general censure must be
combatted. and if irregular birth is no
longer a disgrace to the child, neither
must it be dishonor to the mother.
"She must find in societX-for herself
and her child the support which in the
past was refused her"
Describing what France has done in
this matter Dr. Moutet said

WHAT FRANCE DOES

THE law has assured the protection
of the child born out of wedlock, first
in creating bond of right between
him and his parents when that is pos
sble; then in assisting the mother
when she is alone and without re-
sources, and finally in taking full re-
sponsibility in rearing the child.
IN 1917 the government assisted TO-
562 abandoned girl mothers or wives
and widows in the support of their
children.
