Now a Shortage of
Gasoline Is Reported
In Middle Western Cities, Pri.
marily; if True, 1t May
Bring Serious Results

Automobile dealers who represent
factories in Lansing, Detroit and IN
dianapolis were notified early last week
not to send out driving crews to take
cars away, because there was no gas
oline to spare. Food shortages and
coal shortages are bad enough. but
after all, to an enthusiastic motorist
there is no tragedy like fuel short
age. 1t has always been our impress
sion that gasoline travelled in pine
lines, and that rail traffic disturbances
made absolutely no difference. Ap-
parently we are wrong, because the
shortage Of fuel is ascribed to the gen
eral upset conditions Of freight.
Of course, it probably is the con,
dition at terminals that is making gas
oline hard to get-that is, the difficulty
of shipping it from the end of the pipe
line to the various retail customers.
This is indeed a very serious situa-
tion, because the motor truck and the
automobile must be depended upon
when I. W. WIS are forcing the rail.
roads to lay up. If there is shortage
of fuel we will soon come down to g
condition of use only for necessary
purposes, or else all goods to be trans
ported will be tied up as completely as
the most enthusiastic Bolshevist could
desire.

Body Builders Sold
Out for a Whole Year
Can't Take Any Jobs for 1920
as a Result OF. the Long
Strike of WOrkmen

A strike of men employed in the
automobile body building trades, set
tied only recently after FIVE months
of idleness in most of the body build
ing plants. has created a peculiar situ-
alton in the industry. One body builder
was approached the other day to take
on very special job for relative of
the head of one of the big mobile
factories. 1t was a carte blanche order
and the builder could have made the
body to any design or description he
chose, as a chassis would be forth
coming to fit it, rather than the other
way around. Expense was to be no
object.
he said he couldn't take the Job for
any earlier delivery than a year
from May I, as he had closed his
books on the 1920 business. This. con-
dltion may not be universal among
body builders, but it is certain that
the excessive demand for all types of
bodies, both closed and open, and espe-
clally the former, coupled with the
1act OF the strike, has put the body.
makers in position where thew don't
have to look for business. There is

everything was going out and nothine

one. BY which We mean to say that
the mechanic with almost no hesitancy
goes at once to the Job Of dismantling
the automobile and takes 1t apart with
the utmost blitheness. Your average
amateur. is diffident He hesitates He
seems to be afraid that II he starts to
take the car apart he may not be able
to put it together again and may have
some parts left over.
That doesn't stop the mechanic.
Even if he does arrive at the same re-
suit, that is to say, doesn't get it back
all right, he doesn't pause for a mo-
ment but goes right to it, unscrews
and unbolts and dismantles until the
road or the running board or the ga
rage floor arc all covered with parts.
Usually about this time he has to leave,
either for lunch or for another job,
and when he departs he leaves anguish
and chaos behind.
The other day we had the misfortune
to be hung up on the road with what
afterward developed to be electrical
trouble, but were fortunate in that
it all came about very near ga
rage. The boss Of the place was man

ness, but he was on another job, SO

He checked up on the carburetor
but unfortunately it was a type of
carburetor that he didn't know any,
thing about. That didn't stop him,
however, from altering the adjustment
at once. Having determined it wasn't
the carburetor. he went on to some
thing else. At the end of an hour and
half Of checking up, the older man
was able to get on the Job and he
found it in one minute, because it was
loose wire in an obscure part of
the car, which the youthful checker had
overlooked completely.
Of course, it doesn't do to be un-
grateful under any conditions, but it
does seem little bit too bad that
there are so many people going around
in overalls who look like mechanics and
act like them until it comes to doing q
real Job.

The accompanying illustration shows
typical one.room church building aud
also an exterior view and floor plans
Of a modern, well-appointed church
building, calculated to take care Of all
the needs Of church organization and
costing no more than the one-room
building.
This proposed building has many
things in its favor as compared with
the one-room structure, aside from ita
attractive appearance. First, it is
more durable, being so constructed al
to resist wind and storm. Second, II
Is easily heated in the winter, It's vesti
bule cutting out the cold wind from
the entrance, while by reason OF the
building having several departments II
is needful to heat only the department
being used on those occasions wher
only a small gathering Is had Then
the auditorium in the center is shielded
from the extreme weather by the de-
partments surrounding it, though IN
the summer these surrounding depart
nents can be opened up, giving abun.
dant ventilation. Again, the new build
ing offers admirable quarters for the
several departments and classes Of the
Sunday School, thus making the teach
ing of the Bible a much easier task
Then tho social life of the congrega
tion can be greatly promoted by the
better building, in that 1t affords ample
quarters for church receptions, ban
uuets and ether affairs Of this nature
enabling the church to give the young
people adequate social activities under
wholesome environments.
This and many other approved types
of country churches are being EN-
ployed now in every Southern state
and a mere efficient church work II
being done wherever such building has
been erected, it is declared. Sufficient
varieties of plans have been prepared
to serve the needs Of any particular

Several outstanding results OF the
Baptist 75 Million Campaign will be
noted in the larger development OF the
rural churches. This development Will
take the form of a more efficient
church and Sunday School life and in
better houses of worship around which
the church and Sunday School actiV'
tiles will center.
Through the enlistment department
Of the Home Mission Board Of the
Southern Baptist Convention, Atlanta,
Ga, weak, struggling churches will be
aided in development to the point
where they can become self-supporting
and employ a competent pastor Tor
much more Of his time than has been
given these churches before, while
plans for the betterment of the rural
Sunday Schools through series OF
Institutes for the training of teachers
In all the Southern states this summer
will be carried out by the Baptist Sun
day School Board.
Best Plans Are Recommended.
Plans have been perfected by the
architectural department of the Bap-
tist Sunday School Board at Nashville,
Tenn, in cooperation with the Church
Building and Loan Department OF the
Home Mission Board, whereby local
building committees can procure de-
tailed plans of the best modern church
buildings for either large or small con-
gregations. These plans have been so
drawn as to take care of every phase
Of church activity, the Sunday School
and other departments being so pro-
vided for as to enable them to do their
most efficient work. And a modern
building, containing all these essential
provisions, can be provided by any
community that is able to build an old
fashioned one.roOm church building,
as the cost for the modern structure
is no more than that Of the old-style
one.
Big Loan Fund Provided.
To aid deserving congregations in
building adequate houses of worship,
the church building loan department
was established six years ago and al
ready more than 700 churches have
been helped in building needed houses.
The initial fund, established for this
purpose, was fixed at $1,0OO,OO0 and
an additional $1,000,O0O will be re.
ceived from the rs Million Campaign
Applications pending now aggregate
S1,000,00O and loans are being made at
the rate Of $50,OO0 per month. No
loans are being made in excess of one
third OF the value of the property, and
the loan made must clear the property
OF all other Indebtedness and thus
make 1t possible to dedicate the build
ing.
From the rs Million Campaign the
Home Mission Board will receive, also
$2.50o,00O to be used as gifts in the
building Of additional churches durins
the next five years, but this sum will
be expended largely in aiding churche.

In vain his mother urged him to ac-
cept one of the attractive offers, or at
least to consider them seriously. She
had faith in the sagacious Pinski, who
had assured her on more than one
occasion that "When he'll be married,
he'll settle down." And she did so
want to see him definitely established.
David's vogue was due chiefly to his
lack of conventional vices. He did not
gamble, and had never been involved
in any scandal.
At times, David was tempted to
enter into some convenient arrange
ment. He was tired of his poverty,
which while it allowed him the neces-
saries of life, still robbed him of those
general luxuries which he felt himself
peculiarly constituted to enjoy. Glow
ingly, he pictured an existence in
be completely ,sated. But he lacked
the energy to secure them in open
struggle, and considered it unwise to
receive them as part of a marriage
bargain. And always, he dangled in
front of his eyes the vision of fame
and wealth, to be acquired through
some one of his numerous scattered
attempts. To him they were always
within reach-though never quite in
grasp.
"Minkowitz, the furrier, you know"
his mothers voice broke in pleadingly
on his thoughts.
"Well, alright. You can tell Pinski
that wouldn't mind meeting her."
On the Saturday evening following,
David, accompanied by his mother and
the energetic Pinski, were on their
way to view the prospective bride.
Pinski was radiant, gushing enthusi-
asm, portraying in brilliant colors
Minnie's irresistible qualities.
"What girl! Wait till you hear
her play the piano. She's an artist.
And her education! She reads all the
best books. But why should / talk
about her. When you'll see her, you'll
find out for yourself"
David was silent, finding it impos-
sible to simulate the enthusiasm of
his eager guide, and not wishing to
pain his mother by pessimistic pre-
dictions.
They were received into a parlor,
rather overcrowded with pretentious
furniture, where David was presented
to Mr.. Minkowitz, a weary parent re-
signed to the difficulty of marrying
off four daughters; Mrs. Minkowitz,
who appraised him boldly, and Miss
Minnie, the oldest of the eligibles. She
was about twenty-four, short, over
fed, with puffed, sallow cheeks, and
gave the impression of supreme
trust in destiny. She regarded him
complacently, with a tolerance born
of much patient angling for elusive
suitors. In her ample bosom, there
