Teaching Problem; Enjoy
Novel Entertainment

A system to provide substitute
teachers for the Presbyterian Sun

ant superintendent of the Sunday
School and an interesting program
was outlined for Easter morning.
A novel entertainment was pro-
vided at the Baraca Glass supper
last Friday evening by Professor
Howard B. Preston. Every one
present was given a treat in the
form of a pack of chewing gum,
with the command to give the jaws
some accustomed exercise and the
tongues an unaccustomed rest.
All indulged in the great Ameri-
can game with commendable
vigor, while conversation neces-
sarily languished except among
the devotees whom long experience
has made adept at both sports. The
flavor rapidly departed and only
the "gooey'' wad ordinarily found
adhering to the under-side of
tables and chairs in every we'll
regulated American home, re-
mained.
A white card was handed each
contestant and two tooth picks to
pry the wad loose from the resist
ing teeth and to serve as sculptor's
tools wherewith the object indi-
Gated on the card was to be.

Nearly $500

According to a report received
this morning from Arthur G.. Will
kinson, secretary of the local COM
mittee for the Jewish Relief CAM
paign, the work here is progress
ing admirably.
A meeting of the committee was
held on Monday evening, and the
town districted in about the same
way as it has been for all bond
sales and relief work.
One of the committee reporting
the result of Tuesdays work, was
enthusiastic in praise of the man.
ner in which the town is respond
ing to the appeal for suffering
Europeans.
"Race, creed, and every other
barrier, is forgotten" he said,
and every body thus far approach
ed has contributed generously. In
two hours yesterday aftern oon,
another member of the committee
and myself received nearly $500
in contributions, and the best
part of the whole thing is the
splendid spirit shown by the
people. No one yet approached
has refused and this $500 repre-
sents a gratifying number of small
contributions as we'll as a num-
Der of moderately large ones.
Local members of the Jewish
race, che continued" are support
ing the campaign generously and
whole heartedly.
Posters placed in conspicuous
places throughout the town, carry
a silent but effective appeal and
the letters and literature sent out
by the committee are eliciting
ready and generous response from
all who have thus far been reach
ed. While no quota has been set
for this district, the worthiness of
the cause coupled with the un-
usual circumstance of the Jewish
peoples appealing for aid will un-
doubtedly assure generous share
of Newark's loaf.

RETURN OF
METHODIST PASTOR
ASSURED
Trustees Issue Unanimous In
vitation at Substantial
Salary Increase

The members and friends of the
M. E. church have every reason
to feel confident that their pastor,
Rev. Frank Herson will be return
ed by Conference for the third
year. A unanimous invitation to
return was extended by the Board
of Trustees some time ago at a
salary increase of $4O0 over that
of last year.
Mr.. Herson has made a remark
able record in the two years of
his pastorate here. Church at
tendance has increased to such an
extent that the capacity of the
place is hopelessly inadequate and
the need for a new church is be-
coming acute. The contributions
to general benevolences have in
creased 300 to 400 percent and the
Sunday School attendance has in
creased beyond the hopes of those
interested.
Appreciation of the good work
accomplished by Mr.. Herson has
been expressed jim very substan-
tial way by salary increases which
have just doubled that paid at the
beginning of his pastorate.
Last Sunday morning, Mr.. Her.
son preached to a crowded church
ON Goods Dealings with Men,"
Next Sunday morning the local
Masonic lodge will attend service
in a body. Mr.. Herson will take for
his subject on that occasion. "The
Demand for Big Men," In the
evening another of the series for
women, "A Wonderful Mother"
will be delivered. Although con-
ference is in session in Whining
ton, Mr.. Herson will return for all
church services.
Clarence A. Short, secretary of
the lay electoral conference which
meets, on Friday will also attend
the sessions.

Peret Will Get
Deschanel's Post.
Politicians Saw
Jonnart Has Refused to
Stand for Election for
President; Millerand Will
Not Accept the Office
Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1920 New York Tribune Inc
PARIS, Sept. 17.-fn political circles
here it is prophesied tonight that
Raoul Peret, president of the Chamber
of Deputies, will be the next President
of the French Republic.
The Chamber and the Senate will
meet Tuesday formally to receive the
resignation of Paul Deschanel. On
Thursday or Friday the two houses will
reassemble for the election Of his sue
cessor.
The governmental favorite, Charles
Jonnart, is said to have refused to
stand for election. Hope has not been
abandoned that Premier Mil.erand will
reconsider his decision not to accept
the Office, but he has not yet shown any
change of attitude.
1t is remarked on all sides that Peret
would make q perfectly correct"
President. He has nothing very re-
markable to recommend him. but, on
the other hand, he has few drawba cks.
He is we'll liked b. every one, and has
number OF friends, particularly on
the left of the Chamber. He is also
recommended in the words of the
French press by his "high loyalty and
the perfect dignity of his life" This
cannot be said of all the candidates.
Peret is small of stature. He would
be digniied, but young looking
President He is only forty years old.
He succeeded Deschanel as president Of
the Chamber, and although he has little
knowledge of foreign affairs he is gen.
orally considered preferable to all the
other possible candidates.
In signed article in La Presse to-
day a member of the Academy of
Medicine says President Deschanel's
illness greatly resembles the condi-
ton Of soldiers who suffered from
shellshock during the war; There
were many cases, he points out, of men
who escaped she'll explosions un-
wounded and apparently intact, but
whose minds were found to be affect
ed and sheiV nerves shattered. This
physician expresses the opinion that
the shock Of his fall from a train last
May had the same effect upon Presi-
dent Deschanel.
The French public has begun bet
ting on the results of the coming
Presidential election. Betting agents
along the boulevard to-day were TAX
ing wagers, some of the prices quoted
being:

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 17.-Har-

public wishes to know more about
women.
Myer, it is charged had enough COM

public always will keep trying.
Accordingly, Myer, it is charged, ad-
vertised for sale most interesting
booklet, What l Know About Women"
Apparently the public was deeply
interested in what Myer knew about
women, for the response to the ad-
vertisement is said to have been graft
flying. The anxious customers are said
to have rushed their coins to obtain
copies of the book setting forth Myers
knowledge of the eternal feminine
Feverishly they tore open the wrapper
of the book and threw back its cover.
The book was filled with blank pages.
At least, that is what the purchasers
told postoffice inspectors. Myer will
face the Federal grand jury next week
