The above cut IS a photograph of
building designed for u church to
be erected to take the place of the
little chapel now standing on the
corner of Carter avenue and Fourth
street, in the southeast section of the
city and known as Carter Avenue
Methodist church, south.
1t is needless for me to say that
we, as a church, cannot take spiritual
oversight and render anything like de-
cent service to the citizenship of this
section OF the city with such work
shop as we have.
These people have struggled on in
this small shack for some twenty
five years but we have now come TO
the day when we must enlarge our
plant if we meet the present emer-
gency. Our present enrolment in the
Sunday school is 1S9 and is growing
constantly. Imagine a one room house
30x5O feet with $50 men, women
and children al jumbled together in
a dozen classes doing class work and
you have our scrambled condition.
We have a covey of young people
more than 100 strong, banded to-
gether in an Epworth League and in
our narrow limits we cannot care
for these young lives who are soon
to be future citizens Df this city.
The membership Of this church is
composed of the laboring class of
the city and are Of as high type Of
our commonwealth citizenship as will
be found in any part or section within
the city limits. Their only limitations
are in their financial ability to meet
the expense OF this building enter
prise.
We are undertaking to build-not
gaudy, spectacular house with frills
and superf1uous trimmings-but a

TREMENDOUS RESPONSIBILITY
BUT POWERLESS TO ACT
usy Str4.ou Avenue Methodist church,

plain substantial brick building 44x60
feet, with full basement and with
balcony which, will meet the demands
for equipment for years to come.
We have surveyed our membership
and have now in subscription a good
ly sum pledged but we cannot meet
the demand unaided; we cannot build
this house unless our friends who are
more fortunately the possessors of
wealth than we are. To fail means
that this part Of the city who look
to this church for spiritual nurture
shall be scattered to the four winds
without religious training.
You will observe there are to be
20 windows on the main auditorium
floor and % windows on the balcony
floor. Several of these windows have
been provided for, by persons who have
assumed the cost of same.
Now, to any church in the city, or
to any individual, or to any COM
pany or corporation who will provide
for one OF these windows, we will
place his or her name or the name of
the company making the contribution
on the window as is the custom in
al memorial windows. In addition we
are issuing a beautiful stock certifi-
cate showing the amount contributed
by the donar to this enterprise.
Now when you have read this ar
tcle lay your paper aside and ask
yourself the question, Into what en-
terprise could / invest small sum
# money that would be more appre-
ciated?" Then step to the phone and
call number 23S9-J and ask for par
ticulars concerning the matter.
A nice art glass window would not
only be a good investment and ad-
vertising medium but would aid a
worthy cause now in need.

concerts on the White House grounds.
Whether the president and Mrs.
Harding will revive the state dinners
remains 10 be developed. -Four of
these usually are given each season,
one to the cabinet, one to the diplo-
matte corps, one to the judiciary and
one TO congressional leaders. These
dinners head the official social list
issued by the state department at the
beginning of each social season and it
is regarded as assured that they will
not be revived, at least, until next
winter.
Greater participation by the White
House in society is expected TO be at
tended by removal of many Of the
restrictions which since 1917 have
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-03-06

barred unlimited visitors from the
White House grounds. Since the United
States entered the war visitors to the
capitol have had TO content themselves
with seeing the White House from a
distance or from behind the iron fence
surrounding the grounds.
President Harding's friends declare
that orders for the opening of the
gates TO the grounds will be issued
soon. 1t ia not regarded as probable.
however, that certain portions Of the
White House. such as the blue room
and red room, will be thrown open to
the public on certain days as was the
custom before the war.

AUTOMOBILE TIRES
ARE GETTING BETTER

One of the noteworthy features
regarding the manufacture of auto
mobile tires in this country is the
fact that during the last five years
tires have improved so greatly in
quality that the average number of
tires used on an automobile during
a year has dropped from five to con-
siderably under four.
This drop has come, too, In the
face OF an increase Winter driving
so large as to be vital element in
the calculation. Many cars now op-
crate twelve months in the year but
in spite of this increased period of
service, the average annual consump-
ton of tires per capita has steadily
fallen.
With the return to normal times
and with money less plentiful car
owners are certain to watch their ex-
pense bills more closely. The exer-
else of only a moderate degree of
care by the owner will lift the aver
age mileage secured from tires to q
point many thousands of miles above
any hitherto reached.
So far as known, the best record
ever made on set of four tires was
that of Boston merchant who got
/ 39, 1852 miles on set of United
States Royal Cords. He attributed
this phenomenal record to the care
given to the tires by his chauffeur.
