MEMS CLUB WAS
REORGANIZED MONDAY
NIGHT AT Nj. E. CHURCH

Last Monday night fifty-five men of
the First Methodist congregation met
in the church parlors to launch the
recognized Mems club. Karl Mathie
gave an inspiring talk in which he
suggested some Of the things the club
could do to become a valuable factor
in church and community life. A de-
finite line of worthwhile activity is
the best means of keeping such an
organization together, he said, and it
is within the power of the club to be-
come of great assistance to both the
church and the community. 1t could
| help to improve educational condi-
tons and exert a helpful influence
upon the young people. 1t would be
wise to keep abreast of present leg 9
| lation, national, state and municipal,
with a view to aiding the passage OF
beneficial laws through expression Of
intelligent public opinion.
A committee was appointed to draw
up a set of bylaws but definite action
on the question of dues and similar
matters was left for the future. Mu-
sic and refreshments, the latter fur
nished by G. N. Harder, were greatly
enjoyed.
1t is proposed to start a mems Bible
class in addition to the adult class now
existing and it is expected that the
membership will be increased consid-
erably. There are about 200 men in
the congregation and an effort will be
made to include nearly all of them in
time. Another meeting will be held
on the first Monday in April and one
of the members has kindly offered to
furnish the refreshments for the oc-
casion.
The officers elected Monday night
are G.. N. Harder, president; DR.. /.
b. Thackray, vice-president; c. S. Sny-
der, secretary; A. M. Whiting, treas
urer.

The petition for a meeting of the
county board has not yet received
enough signatures to enable meeting
to be called. The board this year in
cludes very few new members so the
customary induction of new members
has not sufficed this year to call the
early meeting.
A meeting was held by all the
teachers of the city schools Monday
in the high school auditorium. There
were a few visitors present who took
an active part in the meeting. The
main object of this gathering was to
create closer relationship between
the student and faculty and to improve
the conditions of the students and
school in general.

'My work at Georgia Tech has been

"Ten years ago ] conceived the idea Of
incorporating in our strictly technical

applied arts at the Institute. and since
then have been forced to continue these
courses and even to develop them
greatly. =

this development here in Philadelphia.
We shall concentrate on scientific and

possible with the University. General

and we have pledged ourselves to fur
thcr such co o-operation at every oppor-

DR.. Matheson was greatly interested
in the real estate situation here, MS his
family of six has been accustomed to a
large house, with plenty of room around
it, and he Is anxious to obtain another
like it before moving to this city. He
inquired into the present rental rates
and the relative popularity of various
ncighborhoods in this district. As he
is an intimate friend of the Rev. w.
Beatty Jennings, of Germantown, and
is also n Presbyterian, it is likely he
will select that section in which to
live.

Trenton, Nov. S.-Erforcement Of

election of sixty New Jersey Assembly
men and six StH." Senator's.
The Democratic candidates waged
their campaign largely on the issue OF
sepealing or modifying the drastic Van
Ness Prohibition Enforcement Act
while the Republicans were active IN
favor of strict law enforcement.
The Democrats cannot possibly obtain
majority In the State Senate. MS
eleven of the fifteen hold over candi-
dates--a majority of the full House
Of twenty one--ure Republicans. They
hope to land majority In the lower
house and to elect enough candidates
TO the upper house to give them n ma
jority on joint ballots. That would en-.
able them to elect n Democrat as Stare
Treasurer, who would be ex-officIo a
member of the State House Commission.
The commission has large powers over
State finances. Governor Edwards. n
