Letters Are EXCHANGED.

THE speaker then described the
4 course and the most important
problems of the organizational discus
sion, about which the inprecorr has
already reported. Apart from discuss
ing the three chief questions of the
agenda: the work Of the factory nu-
clei, the party apparatus and the Com
munist fractions, the organization dis
cussion declared that a better connec-
ton between the organizational de-
partment Of the +. c. G. /. and its
individual sections was necessary.
The speaker pointed to the great
success Of the exchange Of letters be-
tween the Berlin nuclei and the nuclei
Of the Putilov works in Leningrad.

In a short speech Monmousseau de-

forward by Losoysky. The twelfth
chapter upon the struggle OF the Com

Church ASKS $500
TO AVERT DISASTER
St. PauI's CoIored Congrega.
ton on Brink of Ruin With
Mortgage Unpaid.

Less than $500 stands between St.
Pauls African United Methodist Prot
estant Church and realization of its
mission, to teach the gospel of
Christianity to the colored communi-
ties Of Southeast Washington. Unless
a delinquent second mortgage is paid
off by Wednesday, an auctioneer will
dispose of the little house of worship
to the highest bidder.
The church, one of the most impos-
ing colored churches in the city,
stands at Fourth and / streets south
east, representing an investment of
$50 900, every dollar of which was
are now its communicates. It was
dedicated only two years ago and
formally accepted into the Maryland
Conference Of the African United
Methodist Protestant denomination.
Mortgage Foreclosed.
There were no financial worries until
a few months ago, when some one
persuaded the board Of trustees to
convert it's first mortgage for $4,000
and second mortgage for about the
same amount into a single trust. The
beard was told it would be an easier
burden in single parcel. So the
second mortgage was allowed to go
unpaid. Then the agent informed the
trustees that he could not handle the
project, after all.
The owners of the second mortgage
foreclosed and the congregation was
given until Wednesday of this week
to meet the payments. BY hard
scraping, something in excess of
$4,000 was raised. But there are not

FIREPLACE WINS PRAISE
FROM WOMAN PHYSICIAN
Health Advocate Opposes Abolition
of Crate Fires as Blow to
Nations Welfare.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, December 1.-THE per-
ennial fight in England on the merits
or dement's of the open fireplace
wakes hotter. 1t has been going on
for centuries - since 1878, in fact,
when King Edward I told his royal
lawmakers that the soft-coal smoke
and the fog interferec now and then
with his slumbers.
Announcement by the coal distribu-
tors parliamentary committee that a
serious effort was being made to
eliminate the coal fire from all new
houses has aroused the ire of DR.
Marie Slopes, who takes an interest
in public affairs and helps to look
after the nations health.
She contends that a glowing open
fire is "nourishing." A fireplace gives
out something subtle, she maintains,
and is nourishing to the system, the
same as vitamins and the ultra violet
ray. A brightly glowing fire. DIR.
Slopes says, should be present in
every nursery and in the principal liv-
ing room of every household
Il read the pronouncement of the
smoke-abatment advocates with the
greatest dismay" declared DIR. Slopes,
land l cannot conceive that such in
roads on public health and liberty are
actually being contemplated"
The oke-abatement bill, with q lot
of amendments, is now in the hands
of a standing committee of Parlia-
ment. Similar proposed bills have
gone thus far for several generations.

many wealthy colored families in that
congregation. Hearing of the situa-
ton, white families of adjoining com
munities raised funds and donated
them to the cause. Now, with the
last chance drawing near, only about
$449 is needed to save the church
from the auctioneer.
S100 Raised Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon $549 was
needed. But Richard Butler. treas
urer and member of the board Of
trustees, persuaded the Maryland
Conference to contribute $50. A.
white resident of the neighborhood
added another $50. There is a bare
possibility this sum may be matched
by still another white family. But
the trustees can't bank on possibili-
ties. They must have the "cold
cash" bright and early Wednesday
morning. or their church will be sold:
There is only one chance left"
Butler told reporter for The Star
''It is an appeal to the other churches
of Washlngton-either white or
colored-or to some good man or
woman who would be willing to save
us. We would welcome an investi-
CATION of our Stewardship; we thought
we could save the church interest
charges. It turned out we were de-
stroying it. Now we will do any
thing to save the situation"
A white resident of Southeast
Washington who accompanied Butler
to The Star to substantiate his story,
explained that a meeting will be held
in the church tonight. ut seems
incredible" he said, that at thix
time of the year, when our religion
is closer to us than at any other
time, courageous little church, one
that is needed so badly in that COM
munity, should go down to disaster
because it couldn't raise $780,
Contributions will be received by Mr..
Butler, 116 l. street southeast.
