Washington. Dec. s. President
Harding in his annual message de-
livered today to Congress in person,
deals with nearly a score of subjects,
chief among them prohibition, farm
credits. the transportation problem,
child labor and immigration.
He announces his purpose to in
vite the governors of the states and
territories to an early conference with
the Federal executive authority, with
view to adopting definite policies of
national and state co-operatior in ad-
mlnistering the prohibition laws. He
says the day is unlikely to come
when the prohibition amendment will
be repealed and that the nation
should adapt its course accordingly.
President Harding tells Congress
that if the statutory provisions for
prohibition enforcement are contrary
to deliberate public opinion which he
does not believe, the rigorous and
literal enforcement will concentrate
public attention on any requisite
modification.
"Such a course he adds, Con
forms with the law and saves the
humiliation of the government and
the humiliation Of our p-,pie before
the world and challenges the destruc-
tive forces engaged in widespread
official corruption and individual de-
mOraliZation."
With regard to the transportation
problem, Mr.. Harding proposes that
the railroad labor board be abolished
with the substitution of labor di j.
vision in the inter-stat commerce
commission with ample power to re-
qulre its rulings to be accepted by
both parties to disputed question.
The executive also proposes that the
law require the carriers and their
employees to institute means and
methods to negotiate between them
selves their constantly arising differ
ences, limiting appeals to the gov
eminent body to disputes of such
character as are likely to affect the
public welfare.
Coordination Of all transportation
facilities is urged by the President.
This would include not only inland
waterways, but motor truck trans
portation as well. He inveishs
against the system of paralleling the
railroads with truck roads, thus
drawing freight from the steam lines
instead Of making the motor truck
feeder for them. AS to the carriers
themselves, Mr.. Harding suggests as
ways of increased economy and eff
cheney there be a merger of lines into
systems, interchange of freight cars,
the consolidation of facilities and the
economic use of terminals. He de-
clares that the managers of the
lines are without that inter carrier,
cooperative relationship so highly
essential to the best and most eco
Eomical operation" adding that they
could not function in harmony when
the recent strike threatened the
paralysis Of all railway transporta-
ton.
More extended credit for the far
mers is strongly recommended by the
executive who declares that the
proof Of helpfulness already given is
the strongest argument for the per-
manent establishment Of widened
credits.
He says the farm loan bureau may
well have its powers enlarged to

Twenty-two Story Building to Cost Million and Half Is
 to Be Erected.

lCLEVELAND, O., April 24.-Plans for the erection of a 20.story build ing to cost approximately $500 900 have been announced by trustees of the First Presbyterian Gold Stone) church. The building will be erected on Ontario Street, adjoining the church which is one of Cleveland's s landmarks. It will occupy space on which the chapel stands at present, and will have a frontage of 100 feet on Ontario Street and extend back about ITO feet on West Second Street.
 No change is contemplated in the main church building, which has stood at Ontario Street and Public Square for over 90 years.
 The proposed new building will be used for Sunday school parlors, of fices, dining room, committee rooms, etc. in such part as is required by the church, and the remainder will be arranged for office purposes for the general public. It is expected the rental from the latter will be suffi cient to maintain Old Stone church indefinitely in it's present location. Dr. A. B. Meldrum, the present pastor is the fifth who has officiat ed at O1d Stone church since it's foundation. Rev Dr. Meldrum will complete 20 years in that pastorate on May 15.

 DESIGNATE OCTOBER 3I

CHICAGO, Arril 24-A resolution asking the President and all Cover nors to proclaim October 31 as Home seekers Day was adopted at the re- cent su9erintendents' convention of the National Education Associati ion, here. The resolution likewise praised the work of the Homeseekers' Guild, which is sponsor for the movement to observe such day, and which seeks recognition of homemaking as l learned profession
 The Guild, which has nearly 5000 members in the United States, is working to inspire legislative bodies with "a sense of justice" for women engaged in homemaking, and claims recognition for the home as basic foundation of all state and national progress. One of it's objects is the incorporation in the cJrricula of all educational institutions of teaching considered needfpl for the develop nent of the home. Another is to ob- tain for children from broken homes the advantages of both home and school life.
 The Guild was organized in 1910 by MrS T. Vernette Morse, of Chi cago, who is the executive secretary. Carroll G. Pearse cf Milwaukee is chairman of the national council.
