MAKING PLANS FOR DAILY |
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOLS
Committee Under Leadership Of
Rev. DR.. Brundage Cooperating
With Denominational Groups.

Under the leadership of Rev. DR.. H.
E. Brundage, chairman Of the local
committee, plans are being inaugu-
rated in connection with promotion
Of daily vacation Bible schools next
summer. These will be worked out
through cooperation with the vari-
GUS denominational groups. All OF
the larger bodies have representa-
tives on this committee, which oper-
ates through the Federation of
Churches. The general meeting for
those interested will be held April IL,
probably in Mount Vernon Place
Church.
Two training schools are being pro-
jected for the benefit of those who
will be officers and teachers: The
first will be held weekly on Monday
Commencing April Il. Announce
ments regarding the superintendent
Of this school and the courses to be
offered will be made shortly. together
with other necessary info n1ation.
The second school will be held in
will be given during the morning and
again at night. the latter for the
benefit of those who cannot be pres
ent during the day. This will be un-
baker, the dean of Rust Hall Training
School. 1t is believed that these two
schools. one meeting weekly, the
other twice daily. will furnish ample
facilities for all who wish to secure
su h training.
The work of promotion will be done
largely through the proper leaders ir
the various denominations, but the
federation's committee, headed by DIR.
Brundage. will be central agency
for the general conduct of the work.
Inquiries can be addressed to him at
lexington Presbyterian Church,
North Capitol and Q streets.

Pennsylvania west and south.
Two other groups, the Roman Cath
olic and the Eastern Orthodox. both
show large totals and considerable
gains--the former of 15.75O.260. in
crease. 1866: the latter of 64,745,
increase. 21.5O6. The Roman Catholic
church alone is and has been for
years by far the largest religious
body we have in this country. The
figures represent, as nearly as can
be estimated. the communicant
strength of the church in the United
States. Most of the countries and
languages of Europe are represented
of the T." stern Orthodox group, which
also takes in the ancient Bible lands
of Greece and Turkey and Syria in
Asia.
Changes in the number of minis
ters ara very general among nearly
all the churches. decreases are num-
erous and often puzzling. the net gain
for the year being 2,733 in a total
wei on to 100000.
The column of gains of churches is
also well starred with decrea ses, but
there is a net gain of nearly 5000
in place of net loss of 1000 in 1922.
The United States is becoming in
creasingly polyglot nation. Nearly
all the languages of Europe are
spoken among our people. and as the
habitants of western Europe and of
eastern Asia come in increasing num-
bers the religions of that section OF
the world have larger representation
here. One can find in our borders
almost all the varieties of Christian
ity, ancient and modern. that the
world has produced, including the an
cient forms preserved by the church
of Rome, the Hellenic Church, the Ar
nenian. the Syrian, the variation
known as the Syrian Antiochian body,
whose headquarters are at Antioch.
where the disciples were first called
Christians. and some cults which are
exclusively our own. No nation in
the world offers such & variety of
faiths from which one may choose.
AS yet the Ahyssinian church has,
so far as known. no organization
here. but the followers of Mohammed.
the Arabian prophet, are to be found
in some of our great centers. The
treat pagan faiths of Asia have but
title representation in the new world
yet, and among the churches of the
'hristian and Jewish religions are to
be found none such as have stood
in the east through centuries as the
resort OF Inultitudes of worshipers of
the many gods that Asia has pro-
duced.

Radishes are almost the earliest of
the spring vegetables. When small
kind, like French Breakfast or Globe
Scarlet, is chosen, the garden-maker
will have radishes for the table in
about three weeks if the spring is fairly
warm. It is necessary, however, to
keep sowing seeds at short intervals be-
cause radishes must be eaten while they
are young and fresh. When summer
approaches the larger and slower grow
ing kinds, like Icicle, the best white
variety, may be grown. Many garden
makers like to plant their early radishes
very thinly in the rows of carrots, pars-
nips and beets. As they come up
quickly, they mark the rows for cult
vation and may be pulled when large
enough to eat.

ADVENTURES OF /
RAGGEDY ANN AND
RAGGEDY ANDY

Wasn't IL nice that old Muggins, the
magician, changed from a mean old
magician into a nice magician? Rag
dedy Ann said as she kissed Aunt Amy
eoodby and she and Raggedy Andy,
with nice basket of goodies prepared
to leave their friends.
Yes, indeed, Raggedy Ann r. Aunt
Amy replied. "But it was entirely
through your kindness that he changed
as he did. Now, old Muggins, the magi-
clan, will stay with the nice grocery
boy and me, here at our house and the
magician has promised to make the
incest things for everybody with his
magical charms.
'sYou bet 1 viii r Old Muggins laugh
ed as he came up to tell the Raggedys
goodby. / shall try and think Of some
thing nice each day, SO that every day
can give Aunt Amy and her friends
something new, as surprise ~
Then the Raggedys told the nice, kind
grocery boy good-by and walked away
down the path through the deep, deep
woods.
It was very lovely walking under the
great trees; the gentle breezes swaying
their branches and whispering mystic
riously just like fairy whisperings.
All the birds in the deep, deep woods
were happy, too, and their ripping mel
odies rang through the forest like elfin
flutes.
No wonder the Raggedys were 50
happy. Everything they saw breathed
OF happiness and Of course, as you we'll
know, happiness is catching Just like
yawning and sparkling laughter.

Ir. Rose Claims
Women Need
Sleep

sLife 10 getting more and more like

Burning Rose, president Of the WON
en's Medical society Of the state Of New
FORK, writes Margery Rex in the New
York Journal.
You push on to see If you can't do
just . little extra all the time. And
there is always that push to do more.
1T you drive motor car, and many
people do, your nerves are shocked ev-
cry time you take the wheel.
Women need more sleep. Eight to
10 hours. Some are better off with L..
The fact that so many in New York
city eat In restaurants accounts for the
fact that our death rate is lower than
elsewhere in the state. People don't
order or eat more than they need in a
restaurant. Operated under the board
OF health, public eating places must
have fresh, good food, not the spoiled
products they sold 20 years ago.
DIR. Rose recommends her own pro-
fessicn as particularly satisfying one
for her own sex, since it demands quail
fications usually found in women, pa
thence, sympathy and attention to de-
tail. Qualifications which win not be
wasted in such career. *
