CHARTER REYISERS
CLASSIFY CITIES
175,000 People or More First
Class. $4,000 to 175,000 Sec
0nd. All Others Third.
AMENDMENT AGREED on
Three Drafts of Plan for Leg
islativc Body Ordered
After a Split.

The Charter Revision Commission, in
session yesterday. approved by a close
margin the draft of a constitutional
amendment to be submitted 10 the Leg
islature revising the classification OF
cities and defining the reviewing powers
OF Mayors over legislation affecting
them.
Because of a split over the kind OF
legislative body that should be set up
for New York city under revised
charter, former Judge Edward j. Nc
Goldrick. counsel of the commission. was
instructed TO draft three plans to be sub
mitted two weeks hence.
The proposed amendment classifies
cities Of the first class as those having
populations Of 175,000 or more: cities
of the second class between 10000 and
$4,000, all other cities third class.
Laws relating to a single city or 10
any county wholly within the limits or
any city would be defined as special
laws. and would not become effective
until submitted to the Mayor of the city
affected. General laws would relate to
all cities of one or more classes. and
would not be subject to such local re-
view.
The amendment is designed TO prevent
further enactment OF state Legislator
with local application burdening ex-
penses upon the city cf New York with
out the consent OF the city govern
ment.
Edward NJ. Bassett and Comptroller
Craig opposed the submission of an
amendment at this time. Herman A.
Metz. formerly Comptroller, said it was
essential that conditions be remedied
soon and that the Legislature be re.
lievsd immedatel yof its power to legis-
latel for the cit ywrrhout review by the
Mayor, particularly in the matter of
fixing salaries of employees paid by tne
city. Comptroller Craig was doubtfui
whether the amendment even would be
ironclad against such devices.
On motion of Lewis A. Delafield the
motion to adopt was carried. thouTt-
opposed by Comptroller Craig, Mayor
Hylan. MIR. Bassett and Edward Reigel-
man. President of the Borough 1f
Brooklyn.
The fact that the Meyer committee
recently submitted to the States Char
ter Revision Committee a recommen-
da ton that would provide the city with
the identical relief proposed in the
amendment was regarded generally as
a motive for speed o boost the Hylan
administration.
At previous meeting the commission
had decided that the city ought to have
a legislative body fully clothed with
power TO enact all legislation needed by
the city These three forms were dis
cussed yesterday:
\ single body with power to adopt all
legislation.
A two house body one being tn.
Board OF Estimate as at present con-
stituted and the other the Board of
Alderman with greatly augmented
powers.
A two house body, with special func-
tons assigned to EACH body.

on Corsfisut;onaIity.

WASHINGTON. Jan 24.--Oral argu-
ment in two cases brought to test the
constitutionality of the Nineteenth
woman suffrage Amendment was ended
to-day in the Supreme Court.
Certain individual women suffrage
leaders. who were permitted to inter-
.venc, contended through their counsel.
George n. Brady. that the amending
power had been validly exercised and
that the court could not entertain the
cases when brought by individuals who
had no direct personal interest at issue.
William L. Marbury of aBltimore, who
closed for the opponents OF the amend
ment. asserted that the amendment had
the effect of destroying in the Senate
the equal representation OF the States
perpetually guaranteed by the constitu-
ton. He described the amendment as

lis a school to train men

He pi,serted. Our present
Sc o Of Commerce, Accounts
ar.o finance is the outgrowth
O this pioneer cooperation be-
tween business men and the
University.
No one then foresaw the tremen-
dous development the School
would have. From that small
beginning, with its little handful
OF students specializing in &c
countancy, it has grown and
widered its scope until it is to-
day the largest professional school
OF university grade in the country.
Its 5000 students include still
many preparing for account
ancy, but q large proportion are
now specializing in advertis rg,
management, firarce, journalism
end a variety of other business
fields. From it has sprung a
Graduate Schoo of Business
Administration for the advanced
training of college graduates.
I am reminded of this history
by the addition to our family of
still another school, now three
years old, the Schoo. of Retail
ing. This ha come about
through the cooperation of
business mer, representing the
department. stores and other re-
tail establishments of this city.
Twenty-one of these great
stores in and near New York
have row made this direct con-
rlection with the University.
During the present year thirty
seven col ege graduates, repre-
senting the University of Wis
consin, Colgate, Smith, the Uni
versity of Michigan and other
American colleges and univer-
sities,> are each morning pursu-
ing their studies in retaiiing in
our C assroons. and in the
afternoon of the same day are
receiving practical experience
in the various operations of the
stores themselves.
The dovetailing Of theory and
practice is finely exemp flied
here. An experienced Co
ordinator" links together the
students experience in the
store and the teaching of the
classroom.
Through this unique training
the stores will be able to recruit
men and women of outstanding
character and ability to aid in
the efficient performance of the
essential processes of retailing.
No one can predict the fu ure
history of this new chooi, but
we may feel confident that it
will become another of the in
fluential ways in which New
York University is contribut-
ng to the growth and progress
of the City of New York.

 Yet, said the speaer man who has good health should thank God every day that he lives, for unless one has good health life cannot be 50 joyful as otherwise Wis dom is certainly to be desired, and we know the source of all true wisdom in the book of James we are told to ask God for wisdom, and He will give it to us. We need to be wise in the words we speak, for a word once spoken cannot be recalled; we should think more than we do before we speak. Friendship is one of the greatest blessing of life; what would We do without our friends; they make life worth living, and no doubt many man has committed suicide because he thought he had no friends. Of course there is no friend like Jesus Christ, and If there are those here who have not yet given their lives to Him, I trust they EiIl SC so f6r no life can be what 1t should be without God in it.

T. seems bit early for the circus season, but anyone who visited Hobart avenue kindergarten one day last week would have fo5tnd the circus in full swing, even to parade The leader of the band was the first member in line, next came a gaily decorated circus wagon carrying the mem bers of the troupo and drawn by clown, followed by the entire company in costume of their making largely and carrying flags drums. cyrnbals or something else to add 10 the beauty of the parade. last of all came the elephants.
 After tie parade the circus proper be- gan, the elephants walked ponderously around the ring swinging their trunks, the girafes stretched their long neeks, the ksngaroos gave their big leaps, the little poines ran round and round the ring. but the trained horses walked, trotted galloped and junl,ed hurdles, the monkeys played in in their cage ana ate peanuts thrown by the children. the tiger paced back and forth showing his teeth and claws and roaring in a truly terrifying manner, but he finally dropped asleep, evidently worn out from his exertions.
 But, oh. the chorus. They were the real thing All the stunts belonging to this profession were. done, somersault, hand springs. etc.
 Two very pretty original dances were given. one the butter dance. was a
 solo and was as dainty as could be, while the other, Maple Leaf dance was given by two little girls in fancy dresses of their own designing.
 Of course music is an essential part of
 a circus program and the orches estra gave two selections with fine spirit and excellent rythm under the baton of their youthful leaders.

URGES WOMEN TO SUPPORT
 CATHOLIC SOCIAL SER

Sunday afternoon a. well attended mass meeting of the Catholic women of the city was held in the basement of St. Patrick's church under the auspices of the Norwich branch, Connecticut Coun ci of CathoIc Women. Rev. w. A. Keefe and Rev. NJ H. May attended and also women from St. Mary's. St. Pat rick's and Sacred Heart parishes. Ia ther May introduced Rev. Matthew Judge and appealed to the women present to support the social service movement fos tered by the diocesan director.

The diocesan branch known as the Connecticut Council of Catholic Women is affiliated with the national council, which is again affiliat- ed with the International Council of Catholic Women, thus by becoming 8 member of the aocai branch one really becomes associated with world wide movement
 Miss Marguerite BoyIan, executive sec retary of the diocesan bureau of social service. then told of the development of the Connecticut council in the state dur ing the past year. At present there are 25 local branches and 2,6OO individual memberships.
 The formation of study classes as a new phase of the local work was urged 1 by Miss Boylan, for she said it is neces- ] sary for Catholic women to he informed i concerning federal and state legislation 1 and in order to stimulate Catholic leader ] ship.
