162 LOCAL GROUPS
10BE CO-ORD|NATED
Travellers Aid Society to
| Form One National Body.
! Bylaws Made.

Problems of co-ordinating 1862 local
societies into one big national or
ganization engaged the attention of
more than $50 delegates to the re-
organization meeting Of the National
Association of Travellers Aid Socie-
ties at the Burlington Hotel today.
The drafting of a constitution and
bylaws occupied the entire morning,
following the reading of report on
reorganization plans by T. c. Nc
Queeney, chairman of the joint COM
mlttee on reorganization.
A warm debate followed the out
lining of the problems affecting as
Sociate and organization member
ships. we'll as the dilemma en-
countered in cities where community
chests are in operation, because con-
tributorS to travellers aid societies in
general sense become members
through contribution of a stipulated
fee. Where money is given a trav-
elers' aid society through Il COM
munity chest. the question rose,
should all contributors to that chest
be given membership in the organ
ization.
Discuss Financing.
This afternoons conference was
centered about problems of financing
the national association. Presid ant
w. s. Royster placed S. j. Russack
in the chair for this conference. and
outlined a tentative budget for 1924.
Mr.. McQueeney led discussion on an
equitable apportionment of the ma
tional budget.
Tonight'S conference session will be
at the National Museum, with Miss
Virginia NJ Murray, general secretary
of the New York society presiding.
Arthur c. Moses at the opening
meeting last night, delivered the ad-
dress of welcome to the delegates
He said. in part:
washington is your city, as much
as 1t is mine, SO that you do not need
to be welcomed into your own capital
city. Nevertheless, it is a pleasant
task that has been assigned to me. of
saying to you Welcome to Washing
ton.'
Girls Safety Problem.
Our greatest problem is to reduce
the number of young girls who dis
appear never to be heard of or seen
again-more than $4,000 a year. May
/ suggest briefly two fields of work
for you that seem to be growing larg-
er and more important very rapidly?
First. The immigrant at all points
of our country passes. at some time
through your hands. His impression
of this country depends largely upon
your reception of him. Try to
get him started toward citizenship
by enrolling in the public Americana
zation School. Get his name and ad-
dress and send It to the Americaniza-
tion School principal.
Poisoned Growth.
Second. Socialism. communism, is
growing like a poison toadstool in
our midst. The reds in this country
today are q live force and recent
trials and accounts of propa ganda in
form us that a well financed, demand
able effort is being made, not merely
to change, but to destroy our inst!-
tutions. If we fail to Americanize
the foreigners, the foreigner will
'Russianize' u.s."
Others who spoke last night were
w. w. Husband, commissioner general
of immigration; Miss Winifred Hutch
ison of the Y. w. c. A., of Canada

MalD-One of the great efforts Of

100000 children under - years of

any religious education.
1t is admitted universally that our
national life and prosperity can be
promoted only as it is established
upon a healthy religious idealism.
1t is to help change these conditions
and make it possible for all children
to receive religious training that
this movement is being promoted"

Sheep and Lamb
Feeding Situation

Boston, Oct. 12.-Developments to
October list indicate that there will
be at least as many sheep and lambs
fed in the corn belt and western
irrigated regions this fall and win
ter as were fed last year, according
to statement issued today by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. This estimate is based
upon comparative shipments of
feeder sheep and lambs into the
leading corn belt feeding states and
upon reports of special investigations
made by representatives of the de-
partment in the western feeding
areas.
While the sheep industry in the
West is tending to expand, its i'm
proved financial situation making
this possible, the indications are that
this years lamb crop will be rather
closely marketed and that the large
lamb crop of last spring will result
in supply of western lambs some.
what larger than last year. If the
number fed in the western states is
no larger than that of last year. the
market shipments will be larger
than those of a year ago. The mar
ket movement to. date supports this
assumption. The demand for feed :
Ing lambs from the corn belt con-
tinues insistent and this may be suf-
ficient to take this increased SUNNY
at around prevailing price levels. If.
however, an increased supply brings
about lower market prices for feed
ers. these resulting Low er prices will,
probably tend to inc ease western
feeding operations.
