.ENDSOUGHTFOR
COMMUNITY
BOARD
Court Is Asked for Order to
Wind Up Affairs of War
Organization

Dissolution Of the community or
ganization board and the appoint.
menN of a receiver to wind up it's
affairs is requested in a petition
filed in the District Supreme Court
today by FREDERICK L. Siddons ana
Conrad H. Syrne, who declare they
are the majority officers and are
managing the affairs of the con.
Germ.
The petitioners say that the board
was organized January 10, 1917, by
Margaret Woodrow Wilson, Oliver
p. Newman, p. p. Claxton, Edward
j. Ward, Conrad H. Syme, Henry
r. Jackson, Frederick L. Siddons,
William Kent, and Benedict w.
Law. The purpose of the board,
1t is declared, was to promote COM
munity organization through the
schools and to encourage the pub
lie to use the school buildings for
mutual improvement and for the
promotion of a more enlightened
and effective public opinion. Oliver
r. Newman was elected president
of the board. February IL, 1917
and other officers we're also named.
Desiring to establish a memorial
for their son, Harry Comstock Law,
of Collins, N. Y, his parents,
Benedict W.. Law and his wife,
offered to give to the Community
Board $4,000, the proceeds Of
which were to be used for pur.
poses of the organization.
Law promised to give another
$4,000 the following year, but
failed to carry out this arrange
ment. He sent five 81 900 bonds of
the Binghamton Railroad Company
stock and his check for $1,000.
No other donations were received
by the board. Mr.. Newman re-
signed June 5, 1918, not being able
to continue on account of military
duties, and Justice Siddons was
elected to take his place. Law died
in April last after having ex-
pressed to Justice Siddons the
opinion that the fund of $4,000
should be returned to him to enable
him to carry out his original
purpose.
Petitioners. represented by Syme,
say that it was the original purpose
Of the board to secure large en-
dowment fund, to invest the same
and to use its proceeds for commun-
ity work in the public schools
throughout the country.
Petitioners claim they were I'M
cessful in obtaining any money or
increasing fund donated by Law
They say they had their last an.
nual meeting February IL, 1881. and
that it had been difficult since to
obtain a quorum to attend to the
business OF the board; that the
terms of all the trustees have ex-
PRED, there being no trustees at
present. They ask the court for an
order requiring all persons who
may have business with the board
to show cause why the concern
shuid not be dissolved; that it's af-
fairs should be referred to the
auditor of the court, that a decree
be signed dissolving the board and
appoihtg receivers to wind up its
business

ARTIST REEVES.
FORE EDGE
PRINTING
Franklin Barber Clark Is

Decorating

+ Il j Il
According to- the best known
authority On the subject, fore edge
painting is an art that has been
lost about q hundred years. It will
be OF great interest therefore to
art lovers and collectors to learn
te.At to a well known American artist.
franklin Barber Clark, comes the
distinguished honor Of successfully
reviving this work.
Fore edge painting is a work OF
great beauty and charm which
enriched the sumptuous books Of
centuries. OF which examples are
very rare. The work consists OF
the characterization Of the front or
face edges of books with paintings
under the gold which are only
visible when the book is open and
the leaves sloped or flared, and
disappearing from view under the
gold when the book is closed. This
departure in the decoration of book
edges first appeared in England In
tho middle Of the seventeenth CEN
fury when 1t was applied to the
magnificiently bound books of
Charles III.
Royalty Of the period had q
taste for sumptuous book bindings,
and the origin Of this curious art
was the outcome of the natural
desire of the, book binders who
spent so much labor on the
Ornamenting Of the covers, that no
book should be left undecorated,
Between 1885 and 1765, a period Of
nearly eighty years. there were no
examples of this art Of edge decora.

 Perfectly"
 And you think'-timidly- he really is unconscious--that he does not suffer at all?"
 He is as if he were in a deep sleep, the doctor replied.
 g She did not voice the thought that people have dreadful dreams when asleep. She must keep such ideas to herself.
 You will explain to Miss Lois why will not call regularly hereafter?" the physician said as he took his departure.
 'Yes. And Dr. Hazen, send in your bill when you are ready-although we will have to pay it little at a time" ."
 That's all right the man said hastily. The girls face made him un- comfortable. He wondered just how hard up James Horton's daughters were. It was a great pity that the man had not died outright-although of course, his family would not think this.
 "A living death." Marian repeated when Lois came in at noon from at- tending a meeting of the Women's Guild. We may as well try to accus- tom ourselves to that idea"
 T can never accustom myself to it, ;" Lois declared. "Still I mean to go on with my church and charitable work. I owe it to others. That was why went to the Guild meeting this morn- ing. But when looked at Mrs. Bans combe, I wondered if her husband had told her about the money father bor- rowed."
 He promised to tell nobody" Marian remided her. ''If he lied. he can tell her now that we have signed the promise to pay back every cent on the terms and in the time decreed. Now-we'l have to see about doing it.

Easy To Impress Child. With
 Honesty
By EMilrg HOFFMAN

By EMllte HOFFMAN
 A FIVE-YEAR-OLD lad was sent to 1 A the store with a dime to purchase . I-cent article. The older boy who &C., conpanied him suggested that he in- vest the change in candy, which was promptly done.
 The minimizing mother flew into a rage when the child told her why there was no change forthcoming. Her scath- ing reprimand frightened him and he looked at her in astonishment when she took all his savings, about $2, out of bank and informed him he could have no more money. The arrival of a caller terminated the censure, but as the child left, the merciless mother told him she would tell Daddy when he came home and he would punish him. This mother was very, very angry and also very, very foolish.
 Not long after this episode the little culprit, at the instigation of com panion, took the loose change from Daddy's pocket while the unsuspecting victim was on the last lap of nights sleep. Another time he helped himself to coins from sisters bank and at each offense the child was severely. punished.
 The thoroughly exasperated parents casually mentioned juniors transgres- sions to friend. The next time this friend visited with junior she asked him what stealing means and he promptly told her. She then, tactfully, got him to admit his offerings. When she informed him this was stealing the outraged child screamed, "No, it ain't. That money didn't belong to any one else. It was our money" The under standing friend made it clear to the child that while the money was in the family it did not belong to him. so he had been guilty of theft and she ad- fninistered warnings of the dangers ahead if he continued.
 Some time after this the child made an extended visit in the home of this friend. Small coins were left lying around but not one was touched by the child. One day the friend asked, Have you taken any money lately? The boy looked at her in surprise and replied. NO. I wouldn't steal. I don't want to be a thief" e
 The lesson of honesty had been thor oughly impressed. This might have been accomplished by the mother after the first offense if she had been of the understanding type. How much better that would have been than the punish ments! It is regrettable that so many mothers are not of the understanding kind.

 Little Elizabeth Freer. dressed as an adorable butterfly, distributed the gifts which had been placed on the flowers.
 An enjoyable program was rendered. Readings were given by Misses Maur- inc Mohier and Bertha Cummings and Frances McElrath.
 A saxophone solo was rendered by Mr. Charles Lane, accompanied by Miss Mildred Lane. At the end of the program little Kelly Bryant appeared in his toy automobile to pilot the bride and groom on their trip to Florida.

BEADS ARE STILL GOOD

Beaded dresses are still to the fore. There seems to be a doubt in the minds of some women as to whether or not this is really the case. A survey of any assemblage of well-dressed women, how ever. will reveal that more than one half of those present are wearing a beaded dress.
 At the opera, for instance. one is impressed with the number of beaded dresses to be seen.
 If you have one you may rest as- sured that it is in good style, for the present at any rate.
