A large number of delegates left to-
day to attend the session Of the Prince
Hall Grand Lodge at Centralia, Illi-
nois. On the surface it appears that
strife will again be waged for the
Grand Mastership. The contenders are
reported to be Geo. z. Max6eld, ST.,
Warden Chas. Simms contesting the
right Of the reelection Of the present
Grand Master Ellis of Decatur. Ellis
should be entitled to serve a second
term and have an opportunity to prove
his worth to the organization. This
contention by Maxfeld and Simms and
Others whose only aspiration is TO be
Grand Master, and build not. 1t is
necessary for some one to be elected
who will at least find the way to
straighten out the financial chaotic
condition Of the temple which has been
under construction for three years at
56th and State Streets, and to build up
the organization upon the character
and principles laid down in its funda-
mental organization.

NEWS NOTES
By Charles Stewart

The Lions Club. constituting sub
stantial citizens of Woodlawn, held a
luncheon at Hayes Hotel. Hyde Park,
Prof. Hiram B. LOOMS, principal Of
Hyde Park High School presi led. The
main object Of the gathering was an
effort to unite the entire business com
munity to present a solid front for a
new post Office in the territory Of 9th
and Stony Island Ave, or Whereabouts
The present post Office has become in
adequate, and it becomes necessary for
the citizens of this community to i'm
press upon Congressman Hull and
Congressman Madden Of the Northern
District to lend that assistance which
will make it possible for this deserving
business community to have station
with adequate accommodations. The
population Of this section Of the city
is increasing faster than any section Of
the South Side.
By request of the committee in the
absence Of Capt. Kelley, the Superin-
tendent of the Jackson Park Station,
Mr.. H. L. Fries very carefully outlined
plan that is necessary to meet the
accommodation of the public that they
are to serve. He stated the station
now employs l01 people, 90 carriers,
% clerks and laborers, 3 supervisors,
serving in approximately 25,l00 fam
lies in the territory that is equal to the
city of Peoria or Bloomington and a
business transaction daily Of millions
of dollars. The proposed post Office
would have been adequate had the
original plan for the space in the new
hotel had not fallen through. Thus it
becomes necessary for forthwith speed
to be used by the committee in making
plain the reason for adequate and de-
cent accommodation for the citizens of
this community, therefore we appeal
to Congressman Martin B. Madden
who is all powerful in this emergency,
to make survey of the present service
demanded for the population which
must be served and request our Con-
gresham Morton D. Hull to join him
in an endeavor to secure suitable and
appropriate place.

URGES INTEREST
 IN BOY OF TODAY
Rev. MT. PiSke Makes Appeal at
 Exchange Club Meeting

"The biggest product of New Britain is not it's hardware, but its boys" said Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Congregational church. at a meeting of the EX- change club last evening at the Burritt hotel Rev. MT. Fiske, who has had a wide experience with boys, delivered highly interesting talk on Boys Work" in connec- ton with National Boys week which is being observed throughout the country
 It will not be many years before the men of today will be handing over their jobs to boys who arc now approaching manhood, he said. There are three periods in the life of every boy, the sensory period, the period of coordination and the period when he begins to examine the evidence of life. In this third period the service clubs should be especially interested, stated the speaker. Habits are formed in that period and care should be taken to mold his ideas and thoughts in the right way. since it is impossible 10 change the way a man faces. The boy between the ages of 13 and 19 years is the fellow with whom it pays to work, said Rev. Mir Fiske.
 He said that every boy has in him the man; in every boy there arc those latent powers that will some day emerge into manhood. The great task is to help him tr discover and to bring forth those things which make the man and so the boy is always in need of friendly interpretation. Many of LIS middle-agcd men get out of sympathy with the boys point of view and the boys idea" he said adding that some way must be found to interpret those two fac tors.
 In speaking of the three periods in the life Of boy he said the first, the sensory period, is that in which everything is handled and things are understood by the sense of touch. Passing out Of that period the sec ond is met the period Of co-ordina-

WET.DRY BATTLE
 AGAIN ASSUMING
Senate Committee Working on
 Various Measures

Washington, May lP-With a record of three weeks of prohibition hearings behind it, a senate judiciary subcommittee set out today to formulate recommendations as to the fate of Is wet and dry bills.
 Measures ranging from modifca- tion of the eighteenth amendment to a referendum on the Volstead act had precedence. but with the com mittee composed of four drys and one wet the nti-prohibitionists had no doubt to the fate of their bills.
 Besides these measures, the com mittee had before it more than half q dozen administrator bills designed to strengthen the Folstead act and to broaden the powers Of the prohi- bition forces in preventing smug- gling both across the International borders and from the sea,
 While the prohibitionists favor these measures on the whole they entertain little hope of seeing any of them translated into law at this ses- sion. Nearly all of them carry pro- visions which the vets regard as an invasion of rights guaranteed under the constitution and they are pre- pared to wage long warfare against them.
