Washington, May Manifestations that the proposal to create a department of public welfare VII not nave smooth sailing through congress We're furnished today at initial hearings bv senate and house educational eonmittte on the pending Kenyon bill which embOdies the principles Of such a department as ea- dorsed by President lIar1ng and as worked out at his direction by J1rigad,cr General c. E. Sawyer, his personal phy- sician.
 General Sewyer, who appeared to out line the proposal. was su5iecfed tc ex- tensive questioning by members of ihe two committees who wanted to know # the consolidation of the educational, so- cial and humanitarian bureaus of the government would not add ,o lhe nuin- Der of government employees and to eov- ernmental expenditures. The presidents physician in reply contended that through elimination of duplication both the mum ber of employees and the expense would be reduced and promised he committee figures to substantiate this assertion.

ANTI SUICIDE BUREAU IN
 SALVATION ARMY HELPS MANY

If you are contemplating suicide, call on the Salvation Army" Seems rather a startling notice to display Tn newspapers throughout the country, dosn't it? But still more startling are the results accomplished by the Sal vation Army's Anti-Suicide Bureau since it's establishment in 1901.
 Since that time thousands of men and women and even children who were determined 10 take their own lives, have been shown the folly of the ra sh act that they contemplated and have been put on the right path again Through every corps and office of the Salvation Army is meeting with strik- ing success in the prevention of self murder.
 Thou shalt not kilI' the old Mo- safe Law reads and reads the same to- day as it did on that day thousands of years ago when it was first giv- en out.
 The Salvation Army anti-suicide bureau does a practical work year in and year out The public has been told little of the results accomplished. De- spite the veil Of silence it is fact that thousands have been prevented from inflicting death upoIi themselves soley by the Salvation Army.
 The Salvation Army first Organized anti ti-suicide bureaus to test the strength of the idea. The idea stood the test. IL was pure gold.
 The women officers Of the Salva ton Army can tell of the thousands of fal- len worl1en who, desperate over their condition go to them and quite dis passionately discuss ending their lives These women are sent to salvation Ar my rescue homes where they are given

NORWICH AUDIENCE ENTHUSEs
 OVER HODGES NEW COMEDY

William Hodge, who appeared here at the Davis theater Wednesday evening in his new comedy Beware of Dogs, brought his audience to a point of ea- thusiastic expression that is rarely seen in a Norwich theater audience. At the end of the second act, after renewed and continuous applause, that kept the cur tain bobbing up and down four or five times, Mir. Hodge stepped to the foot
 lights. for little speech in which he voiced his great appreciation of the laughter and applause that had greeted the work of his company. With some thing of the same droll, hesitating man ner of speech that he uses so5 effectively in the play, he told the sold-out house how much such a reception of their work meant to him and to those he had chosen for the cast and said he should always hold his Norwich audience in warm and appreciative remembrance.
 MT. Hodge had his audience with him from the first with his characteristic hu- nor. that is puhctuated with lot of honi&y philosophy and is at all times clean and wholesome. He had a good supporting cast in which Lucille La Verne as the colored cook left nothing to be desired for this character and Louis Darclay as the Italian man of all work about the dog boarding house was well cast. Ann Davis. who was cast opposite MT. Hodge, did pleasing work in her rather brief part, and George Bar Der gave an excellent portrayal of the sporting and wayward husband. The cast was satisfactorily completed in sev- eral minor parts by Leighton Stark Mary Lawton. Harold Heaton, Marion
 Vantine and Philip Cunning.
 MT. Hodge lays his plot in a dog
 boarding house. which he is managing although he really knows nothing abou 1 dogs and started the dog hospital so a! to give him a chance to bring his in valid mother out into the country Trou
 ble piles up on him in every conceivable
 form. giving him an accumulation o' ! lawsuits and distressing situations
 brought about by the dogs and the peo
 pie who bring them to board with him In the end the tanEles are all straight ened out and Hodge finds the greates
 thing in the world at the same time a
 he straizhtens out some other people mussed up lives.
