$1,000 Needed to Operate
Institution Until End
of 1925.

Joy reigns in the hearts of 80 little
boys and girls, inmates of the Sal
vation Army Woman's Home and hos
pital on Broadway. For. now they
can play to their hearts content.
They have brand new nursery.
Sunday afternoon, for the first time,
they entered their new home.
1t was the formal dedication of their
new $4,000 building, erected from
funds raised by the Junior Chamber
Of Commerce and furnished by dona-
tons Of friends.
Appropriate exercises ushered in the
opening of the new building.
NEED FUNDS
The nursery building was completed
through efforts of the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce. about June 1. but
has been unusued until now becase
of the lack of furnishings and funds
with which to operate until the first
of the year. The former has been pro-
vided, but the home is still in need
of the necessary money, according to
Adjutant Anderson.
One of the main purposes of the
nursery, Adjutnnt Anderson explained,
is to provide mothers with n place
to leave their little tots while they
work. In this way the mothers can
become self-supporting.
At least $4,000 is needed to keep
the home going the remainder of this
year. Adjutant Anderson explained
and additional funds will be required
next year.
TWO DORMITORIES
Two large dormitories, n playroonl
on the southeast corner of the build
ing. spacious kitchen and dining room
and large closets adjoining each room
feature the home. Besides these
rooms. there are other rooms for the
Salvation Army workers who will be
in charge.
The building is well ventilated and
will provide sufficient light to radiate
a CHEEKY atmosphere at all times.
Furnishings for the several rooms
were given by Mrs. Eleanor Town
send in memory of her mother, Mrs
Betty Thornton Stevens: Mrs. An.
ME f. Chittim. Mr.. and Mrs. Norve
Chittim, and Mrs. NJ. c. Mcdaniel

Mrs. Krenzenz Wall, their mother; IN

his mother, and by the Shrincrs.

TO ANSWER CHARGES

Before any charges are made Colonel
Mitchell will be given an opportunity
to make any reply he desires in ad-
vance. Colonel Nugents recommended
ton as to further proceedings will
be made after he has considered what
Colonel Mitchell has TO say.
ANY court-martial would sit in
Washington and indications are that
Major General Summerall, command
ing the Second Corps Area, New
York, would be senior officer and
president of the court. At least one
air service officer senior to Colonel
Mitchell is expected to be member
of the court and Colonel c. G. Hall,
army observer on the navy airship
Shenandoah at the time of the disaster
to that craft, appears to be a likely
selection inasmuch as the only other
two officers of the air service senior
to Colonel Mitchell are Major Cen
eral Mason NJ. Patrick, chief of the
air service, and Brisadier General
James f. Fechet. Colonel Mitchclls
successor as assistant chief.
COLONEL SILENT
Colonel Mitchell spent about 20
minutes in Colonel Nugent's office
and waived aside Questioners when he
came out.
Il haven't thing to say he said.
ASK them"
He went to the office of the judge
advocate general before he left the
building.
Formal action TO convene court
martial probably will not be taken be-
fore next week, as Secretary Davis
will be away this week on an ONO
| river inspection trip.

rior," very fairly approximates the
high estate this science has reached
here in the present century We had
a wonderful heritage from the preced-
ing two centuries in the DEVELOPMENT
of chemistry and physics But there
were times when we Jagged behind
and the subsidy and reward of re-
search were left largely to Europe.
In recent years we have changed all
that. and much of the change may be
aScribed to the wartime discovery
that we were dependent upon Euro
pean laboratories and patents for
many of the essential processes of
our industrial life. We We're not long
in taking the lesson TO heart. and
under the lash of war we evolved new
and intensive activities which have
carried us forward with almost i'm.
measurable speed.
Whether we have undertaken or
surpassed Europe and particularly
Germany in chemical science is still
a moot question. Perhaps we are
only nosing her for first place as yet,
but our advancement is founded on
substantial ground, and the gains in
a few years have been so great as to
guarantee a brilliant future that shines
