1t was pointed out that during the
months of October. November and
December of last year 274 aliens filed
applications for naturalization in the
Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia. OF this number 134 were
married. Therefore not less than 40S
persons expect to become American
citizens as a result of these appliCa
tionS.
The National Capital. it was said,
is typical of the hundreds of cities
and towns where the Boy Scout CO.
operation has proved effective as the
medium of communication between
the public schools and the candidates
for citizenship.
1t Washington it was planned to
have each scout enlisted in this work
deliver only one invitation, SO that
an affirmative reply could be re-
ceived from the candidate to attend
school. The boys eagerly grasped
the opportunity to perform this
service" in trailing" after these
prospective additions to the citizen
ship of the nation, and marveled at
the little work they had to do COM
pared with their war work, when
they frequently were requested to
deliver thousands of circulars or

Ask Modification of
Northuest's Coal Priority

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-Mod1hca-
ton of the emergency order directing
railroads to give preference and prior
ity to the northwestern states in the
movement of coal was sought today
from the interstate commerce COM
mission by the chambers of commerce
of Cleveland and Akron, o. Repre-
sentatives of the two chambers at
hearing before the commission asked
that some of the coal passing through
their districts for the relief Of the
northwest fuel shortage be diverted
for the use of the Ohio cities. Coal
shipments to the northwest have been
sufficient to practically take care of
the needs of that section. it was
claimed.
Importance was attached to the out
come of the hearing by officials of the
commission who said that modifica-
ton of the northwest priority order
might result in cancellation of all
such emergency orders now in effect,
as a precedent would be established
in favor of other communities seeking
similar treatment.
Representative of coal consuming
interests of North Carolina have asked
the commission to allow some of the
coal enroute to New England under
emergency orders to be diverted to
their state.

Fresh Berries in Winter
IsU. S. Department Plan

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-Fresh ber-
ries and cherries in midwinter are pos
sible, the experts of the department Of
agriculture announce after extensive
experiments Successful methods of
storing fruits and berries in frozen
condition have been demonstrated
and, the government experts say, these
should be more fully utilized in reliev-
ing the market Of surplus receipts Of
highly perishable fruits while in sound,
edible condition. They declare that
preservation by freezing is cheaper
than canning, especially, when tin
containers are costly, as at present,
and an important industry of steady
development is looked for in this line.
Fruit held at proper temperatures,
the experts say has a more natural
flavor than when canned or dried and
is fully as satisfactory as fresh fruit,
is superior to canned and dried fruit
in making ice creams and sherbets
and for cooking in the form of pies
preserves, jellies and other desserts

Plans for the organization of
chamber of commerce for Richmond
were discussed at a meeting of bust
ness men at the "Y" at noon, Monday
No subcommittee were appointed,
nor any definite business transacted.
Mass meetings have been held from
time to time since the abandonment
of the old Commercial club. Several
attempts have been made to organize
a civic body but definite organization
has not been perfected.
Speakers at the luncheon Monday
brought out the various viewpoints
that the people of Richmond are said
to have toward a new organization.
One idea that prevails, they said, was
one voiced thus, LET Richmond get
so bad, that everybody will see the
need of civic club, and then every
body will be in favor of it and will
want to join"
Believe in Organization, But
Others, the speaker said, believe
that an organization should be formed
at once but differ as to the kind or
as to the methods of electing officers
and directors.
The idea of letting Richmond get so
bad that drastic steps would have to
be taken to right things, was discour-
aged at the meeting. Il would not
run my business that way" one bust
ness man said, and neither would
any of the rest of you"
The central idea developed was the
idea that the proposed commercial Or
ganization should be more than simply
an organization to encourage fac
tories to move to Richmond. The idea
as developed, was that that club
should start out to make Richmond
the live kind of city that would ap.
peal to factories and indirectly en-.
courage them to come here by giving
the town proper publicity concerning
it's railroad facilities, school system
ETC., rather than make an insistent
| campaign for particular factories.
Resembles Old Plan Closely
The plan as brought out for the pro.
posed Organization would follow close
ly the one originated by the commit
tee, composed of Walker Land, ]. ]
Harrington, Ed Wilson, Ray Robinson
and Walter Fulghum.
This committee was appointed al
| the last mass meeting to devise some
sort of a civic club. The committee
visited Dayton, O., during a civic
celebration there and went over plans
for organizing chamber of commerce
with the secretary of the chamber
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-08-30
DISCUSS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PLANS AT
MEETING; ACTIVE CAMPAIGN MAY START

there After their visit they formu
lated the plan that will be presented
to the business men of Richmond who
are interested in having a chamber
of commerce here.
Will Form Separate Divisions
Under the proposed plan, farmers,
laborers, retailers, wholesalers, teach
ers, real estate men, social organiza-
tions, manufacturers, in fact, men
from every line will form a separate
division. These divisions are to elect
their director who will serve on the
board of directors of the chamber of
commerce. This plan, the committee
thinks, will eliminate the danger of
any one class dominating the as
sembly.
The membership for the chamber
of commerce have been tentatively
placed at $25 per year. This figure
was selected because the United
States Chamber of Commerce has es-
timated that the average chamber re-
quires at least $40 per member for
running expenses.
Begin Campaign at Once
The committee is expected to begin
active preparations, for an organiza-
ton campaign at once and Is expected
to present it's complete report at an
other mass meeting to be held within
the next few days. In case the recon-
mendations are adopted rooms will be
rented and an active campaign will
be started
A fall festival, Armistice Day cele.
bration or some other patriotic fes-
tival were suggested as convenient
means for firing the first guns in the
organization.

MIRACULOUS, SAYS
HERBERT HOUSTON

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-France's

ton mails the lie that her heople are

New York publisher. declares after a
period Of research at Paris whence he
recently returned.
Offering statistics showing remark
able reha Utilization In former devas-
tated regions, where German divisions
wrought havoc in industrial, farming
and mining sections, Mr.. Houston
characterizes the recovery of the
French people as another miracle of
the Marne." In an article in the cur
rent issue of Worlds Work he says:
with government support, includ.
ing loans totalling 9,609, 082,916 francs
for agricultural and industrial recon
struction in devastated departments,
the French people have reoponed
5,345 out of SASS schools existant be-
fore the war; built or rebuilt 2S,200
temporary wooden and $4,000 per
ma nent stone buildings, and erected
28,5O0 wooden barracks to replace
houses destroyed. cleared 1888, 900
hectares "a hectare is about IN acres)
out of 3,950,000 Of barbed wire and
trenches; employed 1900 men pump
ing out and cleaning up flooded
mines; rebuilt 475 out Of 600 railroad
bridges, with 80 more in course of
construction; reoponed virtually all of
LOO kilometers Of canals destroyed,
and rebuilt 1876 wharves and built %
new ones.
To-day, less than two years from
the armistice, the population of the
invaded regions has grown from less
than 100000 to more than 100000
approxima tely three-quarters of the
pre-war population" Mr.. Houston says,
adding that the return was mot that
of the prodigal SON."
American committees have done
much to help France rebuild. Mr..
Houston declares. adding that intro
duction of farming machinery to the
French peasantry probably was Amer.
