In common with the thousands Of
your readers Of the teaching profess
sion, the undersigned read with great
interest your inspiring editorial en-
titled "A Great Civic Event" in the

We believe that, as never be-

tant patriotic duty of developing
Americans not only among the $685..

OF serious character were reported
tu the Fair management AM, for a
first day. everything passed OFF very
smoothly and successfully. The misty
weather yesterday morning made
some who had intended going. post
pone their Writ. but the crowds of
late afternoon and evening wers en-
couraging.
The side shows, and concessions and
restaurants appeared to be we'll Ia
tronized and there were no complaints
about business heard from them. al
though they are prons to grumble
over most anything.
The guards about the Fair main
tained excellent order and helped
things along In directing the crowds
where they could see this exhibit or
that show.

The fancy work exhibits. art and
manuel training work shown. drew
high enconimums from the judges,
among the children's display of needle

Ruth Daily of Hartley and Eleanor
Snyder of this city were said To be
especially praiseworthy. These young
misses won many prizes.
The display of paper dolls by Mar
garet Street of this city was pro-
nounced exceptionally fine.
In the display of manuel work i'm

tractors, the display of Richard O..

forth the praise of Miss Sarah Mese-
roll of New York city, ii Judge OF this
Meseroll said. that such skill is dis
played by hoy. as the Wilmington
youth shows in his work.
The fancy work, by the women
brought hundreds of specimens to the
Fair from all sections of the east. Mrs.
Grace Matson of .ashtabula, Ohio, who
was a big winner last year, had more
than hundred specimens on display

who also was a prize winner.
Harrington Man A Winner.
John Moore, Jr.. of Harrington, won
first prize i'm crocheted centrepiece, !,
and he certainly has the skill with the
needle. the judges declared.
Another male competitor In fancy

phia, whose fancy work quilt of more
than a thousand pieces won a prize
for him this year as one he had made
for last years Fair did in 1920.
Nellie L. Atwell of Lowell. Mass,

This is the challenge that was
issued to the people of New Mex
leo last night by Colonel Bronson
M. Cutting. publisher of the Santa
Fe New Mexican, recently appoint
ed state chairman of the European
Relief council, of which Herbert
Hoover is the national head.
Colonel Cutting arrived last night
from Santa Fe to perfect plans for
a state campaign. Assisting Col
onel Cutting on the state executive
are Ivan Grunsfeld and
Rabbi Noise Bergman of Albuquer-
que, and f. =. Davies, an attorney
of Santa Fe, who is the state depu-
ty for the knights of Columbus.
Mr. Davies at present is in San
Francisco, but it is expected that
he will return to New Mexico
and take an active part in
the campaign. Colonel Cutting in
dicated that the membership of
the state committee would be en-
larged later.
Eight Organizations.
The relief council is made up of
the former American relief organi-
zation, the Knights of Columbus,
the Red Cross. the Y, NJ. c. A., the
Y. w. c, A., the Federated council
of the Churches of Christ of Amer
lea, the Jewish Distribution COM
mittee and the Society of Friends.
The European relief fund raised
by congressional and other agencies
will be exhausted on January 81,
1921, when it will be imperative
that other funds be available, the
colonel said.
A fund of s33,0O0,000 IS needed
to feed the children of central and
eastern Europe and provide them
with indispensable medical sup
plies. There are S,500,000 children
in Poland, Germany, Austria, Hun
gary, Latvia, CzechO- -Slovakia and
Iithuania who are below the ir-
reducible minimum of weight. I'm
less these tots are speedily given
succor they viii perish.
Whether this succor will be
given, Colonel Cutting said, de-
pends on the people of the United
States. New Mexico must do her
share,

NEW YORKER
HI n IS At
CROOKED
WORK
Department of Justice and
Office of Alien Property
Custodian Should Be In
veStigated Claims.
SAYS OUR NATIONAL
HONOR Is INVOLVED
Scandals Will Be Disclosed
If a Fraction of What He
Has Heard Is True He
Saws In An Address.

New York, Jan. 18.-An
immediate congressional in
vestigation of the depart
ment of justice and the Of
fee of the alien property
custodian was recommend
ed by Samuel Untermyer in
an address tonight. Mr.. Un-
termyer, who, as chief coun-
sci in the legislative COM
mittee's investigation of the
alleged building trust" has
obtained numerous indict-
ments, declared he had no
direct legal evidence against
the two problems.
But" he added, eff a
fraction of what comes to
me is true (and | believe
much of it to be true), such
an investigation will dis
close a series of the most
mortifying scandals that has
ever befallen our country"
There has never been a govern
mental department, national or
state" he said. 80 urgently in
need of immediate and painstaking
investigation as are those of the
alien property custodian and the
department of justice. dating from
the enactment of the alien prop
erty custodian law. But the in
vestigation must be conducted, if
at all. under skillful searching and
strictly partisan direction, with
the aid of experienced counsel.
"Our national honor is involved.
The vast powers and patronage of
those great offices are sai6 to have
been used, and it is the general be-
lief that they were incidentally
used to build up a political ma
chine, which. however, fortunately
failed of its purpose. But the uses
to which they and their vast pat
ronage were put was none the less
sinister because they did not sue
ceed"
He declared that fortunes in pat
ronage are believed to have been
sauandered in favorites in the form
of lawyers and directors fees
taken out of the pockets of citizens
and aliens whose properties were
seized, or unfortunately came un-
der the control of the government
