BUDGET FOR GIRLS AT WORK |S GIVEN LAUGH IN CHICAGO.
Welfare Workers Unable To Comprehend Figures Of
 United Charities

CHICAGO, April 17.-"Heaven may protect the poor working girl and all that, but just how she can be ex- pected ito struggle along for a whole month on a measly S6.50 a month for clothes is more than welfare workers here can comprehend.
 So after scanning the budget for the working girls and their families compiled by the United Charities workers here, in which it is stipu- lated that it shouldn't take more than S11O.S5 a month to clothe and feed family of six, as well as give them place to sleep, the welfare workers gave it the official razz.
 Of course, the United Charities mentions the fact that the working girl in order to get along on S6.5o a month, must retouch last years hat. and runs" in a pair of silk hose must be stopped, and tuck here and a tuck there must be taken in dress or two in order to fool the public.
 Says Can't Be Done.
 But Miss Agnes Nestor. head of the Woman's Trade Union league, says it cant be done" Her con servative estimate. which doesn't al-
  it will take girl at least S14.50 month to dress properly, and even al that figure she hints, nobody would mistake her for a daughter Of wealth.
 In the charities budget for a fam fly of six. SIS a month is allowed for rent; $44.75 for food S9.75 for fuel; s4.50 for household supplies; s13.75 for clothing for the family S6.50 for clothing fer the working girl; s4 for spending money: s4 for carfare; s1.50 for care of health and S4 for inciden- tals, including religion.
 Welfare workers said this budget would pass in the case of family which was looking for charity; in fact. a family following this budget would need charity to make both ends meet, they said. But they added that the working girl of today does not seek charity, and would rather work hard for living wage.
 They estimated the living wage for a girl should not be less than S16 week.

SHEPHERD OF LITTLEI CHURCH AROUND THE| CORNER PASSES AWAY l

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Rev. pr. George Clarke Houghton, shep- herd of the Little Church Around the Corner, is dead.
 At the age of 70 he succumbed Tuesday to the ravages of time, against which his tiny church, in the center of the bustling loft dis trict, still protests with hoaryivied arms.
 A bit of black mourning is nailed to the trellis above the door of the quaint brown edifice. Nothing more to indicate the pastors passing. But the long file of actors, artisans and simple toilers going in with bowed heads to kneel a while and pray while and come out refreshed into the dusty turmoil of the street, is eloquent of a deeper mourning shroudins hearts.
 "Dr. Houghton would want it so," said one worshlpper He always felt the Little Church was an oasis in a busy world, and he wanted folks to think of it asa haven.
 And so a haven they will always regard it. Nestled between skytouch- ing office buildings, on Twenty ninth street, just off Fifth avenue, within a block or two of perfervid Madison Square garden, it forms soothing dark vgnette, trimmed with green churchyard, against a turbulent Background of progress.
 The march of events has left the Little Church unchanged. The theatre district has moved further uptown, traffic and business have gone Ae same route, but only slight crumbling of the stone walls marks the advent of years in this quiet spot.
 Spirit Of Theatre IinEers.
 ( l,- .t,.s. .l,a tl,a t-N fingers about it. That is how it got it's name. Back in the days when Madison square was the northern boundary for stage buildings, Joseph Jefferson tried to bury dead actor friend. He appealed to big Fifth avenue parsonage to conduct the services. He was told the church did not deal in actors obsequies.
 How them" Jefferson asked, can I hold a funeral for my friend?"
 Well, there's a little church around the corner" was the casual sugges- tion of the rector, you might try there."
 Jefferson did. He found that in Houghton's fold there was no dis continuation either among the living or dead. The rites were held.
 God bless the little church around the corner" Jefferson said.
 The name stuck. Other actors conducted their burials, their we'd dings and their christenings in the little church." They are doing it yet.
 And the fame of the church spread all over the country. Elopers, think ing it a Gretna Green, flocked to it to marry. They were often talked outVof the notion by pr. Houghton.
 O O O
 Many Changed Their Minds.
 Marriage is sacred business, the clergyman would say. Better go away for a day and think it over first Many thought 1t over and changed their minds.

 MT. Adams has just returned from Europe, No sooner had he reached Washington than he was apprised by certain 'irreconcilables" in the Sem ate that the Presidents advisers, re- garding him as inefficient in emerg encies, were determined to secure another and more capable" man to manage the campaign for reelection.
 The 'irreconcilables" are said to know that Adams would be sup planted by someone in harmony with the Presidents suggestion that the United States participate in the cleo court of justice under the League of Nations. ''Irreconcilables' do not want the substitution of such an in- dividual. They are said to feel that by such substitution they. them selves. would have been put upon the shelf
 Mir Adams is "irreconcilable," himself. In the first place, ne doesn't want to be deposed. In the second place, he does not want to be de- posed for the elevation of man to any degree involved In a scheme to bring about affiliatlon between the United States and the nations of Flu rope.
 MT. Adams while abroad studied the League idea. he said and found new reasons, in addition to those lie regarded as sound before his departure, why the United States should remain aloof.

 Mussolinfs quick action in this case is characteristic of the man. Instead of waiting for the populist ministers to precipitate a cabinet cri- sis, the fascist chief went out of the way to meet trouble.
 The populist opposition to Musso- lini is on political grounds and not because of Mussolinis attitude to- ward the church. At no time during his incumbency has Mussolini been anti clerical. As a matter of fact he has attempted to bring about better relations between the government and the Vatican and to patch up the quarrel of years standing.
 Aldo Oviglio. minister of justice; Cincenzo Tangora. secretary of the treasury. and Stefano Cavazzoni, sec retary of labor, were among those who quit their posts.

 London Lenient.
 The London government does not wholly agree with this view. There is every desire to accord the domin- ions equal status, but it not believed here that the mothcrland can be di- vested of all responsibility for the conclusion of treaties by the over seas governments. It is pointed out that the principle of such an ar rangement involves serious issues, that d treaty signed in the kings name affected the whole common wealth. and that in case such treaty precipitated war issues, most certainly the whole empire would be dragged in
 The controversy has endless ram ifications, b'Ss.t has developed suf- ficiently to show that old England is again at the crossroads in her destiuies of empire.

SHOULD STRENGTHEN LAWS, SAYS SENATOR HEFLIN

WASHINGTON, April 17.--Instead or liberalizing the present immigra- tion laws, Congress, when it meets should strengthen them, Senator lief lin, democrat. Alabama. declared in a statement issued today.
 The sooner genuine American sentiment crystalizes to point where vast majority of the peo- pie of the United States are united and determined to enforce the doc Urine of the restricted immigration the better it will be for our country" the Senator said, .uding that there was "an insidious propa ganda" in favor of more liberal immigration laws. Steamship operators. the sen- ator charged, want the law changed so as to enable them to resume their lucrative trade and make America the dumping ground for the unfit hordes and criminal re- fuse of other countries. There are other agencies hid away and quietly working behind the screen to the same end"

 The report presented two features of legislation which MT. Davis hopes to have enacted by the next Congress to supplement the present law fix ing immigration quotas for the va rious countries
 Physical md Mental Tests.
 q propose that we establish strict but just tests of physical and mental health. and that we make those tests under the numerical restriction now placed by law on immigration" said MT. Davis. "I would have those tests made abroad In order that the appli- cant for admission may not have to spend the savings of lifetime on a long sea voyage to find out whether he can enter the United States. I feel that nothing would strengthen our whole immigration policy so much as this move. and one result would be to the end that heartrending g scenes which every day confront our agents at Ellis Island and other ports of entry"
 In furtherance of this proposal for selective immi grafton, Mr. Davis in formed the President that inquiry was now being made by his depart ment in the possibility of moving the whole examining machinery of the immigration bureau to foreign coun- tries under present laws.

What Is Grape>Nuts ?

Grape.Nuts is highly nutritious
food in the form of crisp, golden
eranules. 1t contains the full nutri-
ment of wheat and barley, including
vitamin-B and mineral elements re-
quired for building sturdy health.
These elements are often lacking
in the ordinary diet, chiefly through
"over-refnement" in the prepara-
tion of food.
No other food is so thoroughly
baked as Grape-Nuts. More than
20hours are consumed in the baking
process which makes Grape-Nuts
easy to digest, and also develops a
natural sweetness from the grains
themselves.
The form and crispness of Grape
Nuts invite thorough mastication-a
