Let S Help Lisabeula

1t was my good fortune to at

Cor shall | say Community
churchT') one Sunday recently,
and | received one of the sur
priseS of my life. The old church
has been somewhat repaired and
made fit for church services once
more, and where it seems, the
whole community finds its way.
The old church that could not
survive on UNCONVENTIONAL lines,
seems to be thriving wonderfully
along the broader path that in
cmdes all, and we say let the
good work continue. Let us all
pull with these new people, who
have come to us from all parts of
the world and are willing to give
OF their time, money, and strength
to help our boys and girls and
to make Lisabeula the place with
IA pretty name and beautiful lOca.

the islands.
These new people are the good,
new, healthy blood that has been
infused into the community and
the results are most noticeable.
enjoyed Sunday school very much
but the evening service was
great surprise.
Rev. Fretz delivered a good, in
spring sermon, and the house was
filled with people instead of en-
PITY seats. And marvel of marvels,
and how it did warm my heart.
while | uttered silent prayer of
thanksgiving for that row of neat,
well behaved boys, many of them
having been in my Sunday school
class some few years ago. And
then when they sang. Caruso may
charm the multitudes but the
singing of those boys, under the
training Of their able leader, was
sweeter than any opera music to
me. They not only did splendidly
but it means those boys are hav-
ing chance to become real men,
who will be an honor to Lisabeula
or wherever they may be, and the
parents Of those boys, as well as
the whole community should
stand shoulder to shoulder to help
all these people who are doing
so much in our midst.
Let's forget who built the
church let's forget UNCONVENTIONAL
lines, and follow our Big Brothers
lead, which includes all. Let's
help those girls who so much en-
JOY these services, and who will
be the home makers of the future;
let's give them happy, wholesome
amusements, and clean, good
thoughts such as CLEAN from
such surrounding; and last but
not least, let's all pull together
for clean, lively, well behaved
Lisabeula, and show these new
people We appreciate them.

American Girl Defes
Turks to Take Raiment
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. "a simple
yet thrilling story of how a brave
young American, Hiss Betty Anderson,
of New York, refused to surrender her
riding breeches when the Turkish ma
tionalist forces overwhelmed Kars, in
Armenia, and how, by standing or sit
ting pat, she preserved her neither gar
ments, created a profound sensation at
this afternoon session OF the confer
ence Of State Directors for the Near
East Relief in hotel Chalfonte.
The news about MISS Anderson and
her breeches was contained in budget
Of information on the Near Eastern
situation just received from Edward
Fox, who is district commander at
Kars.
1t appears Miss Anderson was wear
ing natty pair of riding breeches, for
utility sake rather than appearances,
when the Turkish troops swarmed into
the city on the heels Of the fleeing
refugee population.
The troops promptly Invested George
White, one of the orphanage directors,
and surgeon of their uniforms, on
the ground that under no circum,
stances should civilians be permitted
to wear such garb because of the pos
sible militaristic example to the ter
rified Armenian, and while the two
men were shivering in their 3. V. DIS
called upon Miss Anderson to discard
her olive-drab breeches. She fatty re-

There was a tense five rten min

Newspapers Test
New Traffic Rules
In Theater Zone
Automobile Makes 4 Miles
in 40 Minutes, Despite
Several Delays, Through
Densely Crowded Streets

The traffic regulation plan proposed
for the theater district bv Dr. John A.
Harriss, Special Deputy Police Com
missioner in charge of traffic, was test
ed thoroughly Saturday night by news
paper reporters in an automobile. They
covered about four miles of streets be-
tween Thirty-seventh Street and Co.
lumbus Circle, at time when every
theater in the district, including the
Metropolitan Opera House, was dis
missing its audience, in forty-one min
utes. This was accomplished in spite
of delay of seven minutes caused by
the breaking down of taxicab in front
Of the automobile in which they were
riding and delays totalling eight min
utes in Times Square, through which
they passed twice.
The test was suggested by DR.. Har-
riss, who had received complaint
from an actor to the effect that it had
taken him twenty minutes in taxicab
to get from the Ritz Carlton Hotel, at
Forty-sixth Street and Madison Ave-
nue., to a theater in Forty-fourth
Street, between Broadway and Eighth
Avenue. DR.. Harriss said the man
could have made the trip in less than
ten minutes if he had observed the
regulations properly.
10 prove his contention, the Deputy
Commissioner turned his chauffeur and
car over to newspapermen for a test.
The latter removed the Police Depart
ment shield from the car and started
out. They left the Astor Hotel at 10: Sc
o'clock, when most of the theaters
were nearly empty and Times Square
was thronged with people and automo-
biles, including hundreds Of "cruisers"
--taXicabs looking for faras
The chauffeur of Dr.. Harriss's car
threaded his way through the crowds
and reached Columbus Circle in six
minutes. Here the party turned and
went down Eighth Avenue to Thirty
eighth Street, the southern boundary
of the zone in which the thirty-day traf-
ic test is being made. At Fdrty-sec-
ond Street the automobile was held
up seven minutes because of the break
ing down of a taxicab. They reached
Thirty-eighth Street at 1915 o'clock.
On the next leg of the trip. from
Thirty eighth Street to Fiftyrfourth
Street, the car was held up about eight
at Forty-frst and Forty-second
streets, but had clear running above

Compe1.s and ID
Aids Welcomed
To Mexico City
Met at Station by Committee
and Escorted to Hotel;
Pan-American Conference
Opens Its Sessions To-day

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 8.-Samuel
Gompers and fourteen other representa-
tives Of American labor, accompanied
by a Mexican reception committee, ar
rived in Mexico City shortly before noon
to-day to attend the Pan-American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor Conference, which be-
gins tomorrow.
The Americans were met at the sta
ton by representatives of Mexican
workmen's organizations, who escorted
them to their hotel There was no labor
parade, as originally had been planned.
Aside from declaring that the purpose
OF the present gathering was ito create
good relations among the laborers, Of
the United States, Mexico and SoTth
and Central America" Mr.. Gompers
had little to say regarding the program
to be followed, asserting that he did
not desire to anticipate the work of the
conference. The sessions will open to-
morrows morning with the presentation
of the credentials of delegates, and the
conference Immediately will set to work
Although the discussions will not be
curtailed when they are pertinent. Mr..
Gompers asserted, it will be the pur-
pose OF the officials not to permit the
sessions to drag out indefinitely, and
the conference may be concluded be-
fore the end of the week.
Asked what concrete measures. for
promoting better relations among la
borers are to be placed before the con-
vention, Mr.. Gompers asserted that the
resolutions which would be presented
at the early sessions would speak for
themselves. Efforts by certain radical
clements which broke away from the
Pan-American body to hold rival con-
yyention were characterized by Mr..
Gompers as "a pea in a drum" He
said he attached no significance to
their movement, as they constituted
but handful of men.
The Pan-American Conference will
be the third that has been held. The
first took place in Laredo, Tex, in
November, 1918, and the second in
New York in July, 1919. Delegates
from sixteen South and Central Amer
lean republics and representatives
from the United States and Mexico will
attend.
