Where living quarters, food cloth

HOMEMADE CHURCH

The Bronx, New York's famous
residential section, has home made
church. 1t began life as saloon in
the period antedating the Year l, A
V. (ante Volstead. Then followed a
spell as billiard parlor. Rev. A. V.
Vos, an Episcopal clergyman, next
appeared upon the scene. He rented
the ex-saloon, organized a congrc-
cation, and with a big shoe case for
an altar, and dozen rude benches for
the accommodation of his flock,
which included Germans, Italians,
Hungarians, Irish and Americans, the
initial services were held In course
of time the little congregation in
creased to about fifty, bought the
place, paid off the debt in sums of
fifteen and twenty dollars at a time,
and at length laid aside reserve
fund. And this is what they did with
it.
Including in their number carpen-
tiers, bricklayers, cement workers,
electricians, ETC., they had church
meeting, parcelled out the work
among themselves, and OH the night
of Dec. last, they began tearing
out the front of the building. Each
night thereafter, as soon as supper
was disposed Of, the volunteers got
back on the job, and by working
every night save Sunday-sometimes
we'll into the morning--they have
succeeded in making over the place
into a pretty little concrete cdificc Of
the old Spanish Mission Type. 1t
includes not only the chapel proper,
but a dining nall, social hall, kitchen
etc. Rev. Nos says: 1T isn't a ca
thedral, but to us it is the finest
Church. building in the world, be-
cause we hace reared it with our own
hands" Plans are being formed for
the conservation of the building by
Bishop Manning at an early date.

GENEROUS SUBSCRIPTION

Richmond, Va, H. R. Fitzgerald,
of Danville, has the distinction of hav-
ing given one of the largest sums re-
celved from any one individual in the
drive of the Near East Relief for
100000 in Virginia, since the New
Year, according to State Treasurer
Waller Holiday, of Richmond. Mr..
Holiday received $500 from Mr.. Fitz-
gerald IN one contribution today.
This gift, which for liberality has
been equalled by one received from a
Roanoke man, was voluntary, and
will support eight orphans for an en-
tire year in the asylums of the Near
East overseas. 1t means a chance to
teach eight little children to be sell
supporting and to insure them life
until they can care for themselves.
Il wish that every Virginian could
give like sum for the cause OF HUI
manity." Honorary State Chairman
E. Lee Trinkle SAID this morning when
informed OF the gift at the governors
mansion. 1T would mean another
chance for thousands who look to
America alone to save them from
starvation, and who can be saved
only through such generosity as that
shown by this generous Danvilie
man." ~
"Danyille has set the pace" was
the only comment made, by State
Chairman Oliver j. Sands on. the re-,
ceipt Of the contribution. ~

The average retail price of sirloln
steak in Norfolk, Richmond, and
Washington on December Is, 1921,
which are the latest figures available
was 37.4 cents per pound, which is a
decrease of Is per cent from Decer1-
Der Is, 1920, but 81 per cent greater
than in 1913. On the other hand the
average farm price of beef cattle on
December Is, 1921 was 5.3 cents per
pound, representing decline of 27
per cent during the past year, and 10
per cent less than in 1913. That IS,
the consumer is paying 81 per cent
more for his steak than in 1913, while
the farmer is actually getting 10 per
cent less for his cattle than he did in
1913. In other words the retail price
of sirloin steak in 1913 was slightly
more than 4 times the farm price, and
in 1921 slightly over 7 times Thus
It is seen that the spread between the
consumer and the producer is be-
coming greater and greater.
Other foods also show this ever
widening gap between the retail and
farm price. For instance, the retail
price of pork chops in 1913 was 2l3
times the farm price; in 1920 nearly
3R, and in 1921 nearly times; the
retail price Of bread in 1913 was 3 1-3
