WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The House
subcommittee on Naval Appropriations
today reported that 1t has decided upon
reductions in the Navy which will save
the taxpayers at least S175,0O0,000 in the
next fiscal year.
OF this saving S9O,O0o.OOO will be d.
rectly traceable to the recent arms con-
ference agreements, this being the sum
that ordinarily would be allowed the
Navy for one years new construction

ported to the House next week viii carry
under $3.50 0OO,0 600" according to Rep
resentatlve Pat Kelly Michigan, Repub

framing the measure. An enlisted per-
sonnet Of 1000 men has practically been
agreed upon by the committee, Kelly
said, adding The reductions from $4,000
men would make Tor a smaller but more
efficient Navy. The commissioned per-
sonnet, Kelly said, probably would re-
main as it is, about 5,1OO officers.

LITTLE VISIT
WITH REV. GRIGGs.
The Visitor called upon Rev. Griggs the
other day and chatted with him. he
knows the need of a community and is
convinced that it is the duty of his
church to become "a everyday instl-
tuition"
He is a man of considerable physical
strength. l easily see how the boys or
a neighborhood would flock to a gym II
he was going to conduct a gym class.
He has personality and knowledge OF the
call of the community upon the church.
How did you buihd this wonder struc-
ture within eight months timer /
asked.
He smiled and said: ''There is no plan
for success but work. We first tried to
reach the young married people and the
young people, too.
Our support does not come only from
the membership Of the church, but all
men Of the community are getting behind
the movement Lawyers who live in the
community and some not members OF the
church have not only aided in financing
the undertaking, but have donated their
office force to get out letters and circu-
lars The community idea has struck
these men right"
The community center will be in charge
Of board Of control. Three Of these
men bers will represent the coinmuni'y
who will be selected without regard
to cree and the remainder viii De mem
bers O. the church, two Of which must
be mot Ners
As the hev. Griggs puts 1t IN his pub
lication, The Capitol Avenue Christian
Church is putting every available dol
lar into this project. This church Is
not trying to advance any sectarian in
terest. 1t does see the need or a seven
day religion which will care for the
whole man, his body. his mind, his soul"
The Rev Griggs is now making plans
TO install a radiophone 80 the people
OF the community may listen in on con-
certs. church services and on news events.
Charles w. Richards. Leo Komisky,
Wallace o. Lee, Or. Charles Mcintyre,
Mrs J. r. Demeree and many others
have aided the Rev Griggs In the COM
munity center idea.
So this minister from North Dakota IN
eight months time has united the desires
Of the people OF the neighborhood and
now the wonder structure of the city
will become the center Of all activity Of
that neighborhood
Other ministers OF the city and congre-
cations are working out the community
idea The tabernacle Presbyterian
Church is building a new structure at
Thirty Fourth street and Central avenue,
which will cost about $3.50 900, according
to DR.. Winders. Plans for building a
new Methodist church along community
lines are being made by members Of the
Maple Road Methodist Church. It will

Church Architecture
tn Indianapolis Has
Changed in Last
Fifteen Years to
Meet Demands of
Vicinity.
81 THE VISITOR.

Church building in Indianapolis
has taken on a new significance
within the last fifteen years as
churches are now erected ito meet
all demands of individuals and of the
community" according to Dr. C. H
Winders, executive secretary Of the
Church Federation of indianapolis.
To meet "all the demands If individuals
and of the community" the new churches
recently completed, those Under cOnstruc-
ton as well as the new structures being
planned embrace plans to meet not only
the religious demands Of the neighbor
hood but also seek to furnish social
rooms. dining rooms. gymnasiums for
the young people, shower baths. social
rooms for the various organizations Of
the church and even moving picture en-
tertainment.
The change in church architecture re
fleets the development of community or
neighborhooi life and the church has
met this development by building com
munity buildings like the recently dedi-
Gated Central Christian Church with its
splendid equipment to meet "all de-
mands."
To meet the community demands in
the vicinity of Fortieth street and Cap
ital avenue, members Of the Columbia
Place Christian Church with the sup
port of the men and women who are
not members Of the church by generous
contributions have nearly completed a
$4,000 community center which will be
known as the Capitol Avenue Christian
Church.
About eight months ago Rev. Grggs
came from Fargo, n. D., to take his place
as a community helper and pastor of
the Columbia Place Christian Church at
Fortieth street and Capitol avenue. He
found a small membership. He realized
that his church. which was unsuited to
community demands, must become an
everyday part in the life Of the neigh
borhoOd.
Within eight months time. the mem
bership has been more than doubled
and neighborhood interest has been so
aroused over the need OF a community
center that not only members Of the
church. but those not directly affiliated
with the Columbia Place Church have
contributed sufficient sums to erect a
modern church building to meet al de-
mands."
THE WONDER CHURCH
TO BE DEDICATED SOON.
The spirit Of this community and the
work Of the Rev. Griggs reflects the true
value Of Americanism as applied to re-
ligious life IN the home and the neigh
borhood. According to the Rev. Griggs,
lawyers, not members OF the church,
have become so interested in the com
munity idea that they have not only
: given money, but time Of their office en-
ployes for the purpose OF putting over
