ALLIED ARTS CLUB

A recently organized club, the frui- ton of the rapid growth of this city along art lines, is the Allied Arts club. It was the suggestion of Ferdinand Dunkley, who met with cordial response and ready assistance from number of artists. The club is destined to be- come very popular, and a source of much pleasure and inspiration to its members. The inevitable purpose of its organization is to foster an art cen ter in the city, and to secure for us, finally a museum and art gallery. The membership includes both creative and interpretive artists. For time the club will meet every Monday evening in the studio of Carrie Hill, at Five Points. Officers and the two extra members composing the executive board are as follows Ferdinand Dunkley, president; Carrie Hill, first vice presi- dent J. Louis Schillinger, second vice president; NJ. B. Lanie, secretary; w. Paul Pim, treasurer, and Hanna FL liott and ". Lawrence Meteyarde mem- bers of teh board.

it, is nothing less criminal than desire to restore
Europe to prosperity in order that America may bene

American sympathy has played big part, too

saw Jacko and Jumpo Kinkytail.
Uncle Wiggily waited until he
heard the monkey chaps skipping

began to hop toward the hollow

why Jacko and Jumpo wanted to

Mouse Teacher or any Of the other

es Uncle Wiggily watched Jacko
climb up on the roof of the school,
while Jumpo wrapped rags around
the clapper of the bell SO il wouldn t

down and hid behind the school.
Pretty soon the janitor rat took
hold of the bell rope and began to
pull. He could feel the bell turn

sound.
"Am l getting deaf, or what s

START DRIVE FOR A WARLESS WORLD
Educational Campaign by Fed- eral Council in Sunday Schools

Washington. Oct 25.-Because they believe children will be the suf- ferers if there is a next war, officials of the Commission on International Justice and Goodwill of the Federal Council of Churches will carry their educational campaign for an eventu- ally warless world" to the Sunday schools of the country, according to church officials.
 Special exercises will be held Sun day schools throughout the United States on the Sunday before Armis- tice Day, the latter having been se- lected as the time for a "mobili2a- ton for international justice and world peace"
 The effort to enlist the children is part of the general plan for what is probably the greatest educational effort by the churches in this coun- try in behalf of permanent peace. The enlistment of the young folks will be made through Sunday schools and through the various young peoples groups and organi- cations like the Christian Endeavor, Epworth League, and Baptist Young Peoples Union.
 Christian international ideals should be taught to children in Sun day school. They are the ones who will pay the bitter cost if there is
