ECONOMY IN BALTIMORE

Batimores tax rate has fallen Is per cent IN two
years. 1t such surprising condition for Amer
city that other communities to know how in
world 1t accomplished.
One of the to this desirable end the
ducton of the number of employees operating the citys
pay roll system from 134 to % With the larger force,
it is said, it usually Is days from the time city
worker signed the roll before he received his money.
At present that period is only four days There
appears to have been much economy of time and ef
fort here of personnel and money.
A second means of economy has been the handling
of city automobiles. Under former system these
cars were kept in scattered garages throughout the
city. Garage hire high, and joy-rding public
owned cars not unheard Of Today all city auto
mobiles are kept in central garage They are used
only for business, returned promptly when city
duties performed and their upkeep has been amaz
ingIy reduced.
Baltimore stores its city supplies through the
activities of only bureau instead of 25 as formerly
Cost for such service has dropped from $92 per thou
sand to $50. This has saved $4,000 this year and
expected to save $4,000 next year 1t has also
leased for other property worth $3780 900.
A fourth and most startling is the refusal
oil automobile licenses to city tax deinquents. This
has put habits into less than 5000 former tax
evaders.
By such simple arrangements the city of Balt-
more finds tSelf possessed Of a surplus Of $2,500000
Its costly borrowing days seem to be over.
Won't similar economics work equally well any
where?

PREACHERS FLAY
STAR FOR DANCE
AT CHAMBER MEET
by United Press Leased Wire


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-Sally
Rand, petite film star and dancer,
was scored roundly today by Santa
Ana churchmen, who claim she
compromised the moral Standing
of Santa Ana business men by dane
ing before them in abbreviated
costume.
Miss Rand, pupil of Cecil De
Mile S, and former follies girl from
Kansas City, was the headliner at a
party staged by the Santa Ana
chamber of commerce. She appear
ed in her regular one-piece dancing
costume and gave the Santa Ana
- butterand-egg men, what she
termed a comparatively tame ver-
sion of the Hollywood Charleston. -
Members of the First Methodist
Episcopal church at Santa Ana sent
a protesting resolution to the cham
Der of commerce declaring 1.-THE mo-
raj standing of the business men
who belong to the Santa Ana cham
Der of commerce has been compro-
missed. The dance was particularly
inimical to the best interests OF the
youths of the city,
Miss Rand Indignantly denied to-
day that there was anything immo-
raj in her performance.
There is nothing 'sexy' or ris
que IN any of my dance stuff she
said. II do the real southern
hoe-down Charleston, and there is
more skill than sex in that dance.

COOK WILL SHIFT
FIGHT TO OBTAIN
CUSTODY OF CHILD
BY United Press Leased Wire


The recent divorce granted in
Reno, New, to Hilda Betty Cooke,
together with the decision allowing
her custody of little Shirley Cooke,
5, and 5000 monty alimony, mean
nothing to j. II. Coke, Canadian
legal expert and father of the child,
according to word received here
from Montreal.
Cooke will virtually ignore the
court s decision because he has no
property in the state of Nevada
and is citizen of Canada, accord
ing to the report.
Cooke will continue, however, to
wage his fight in the Utah courts
for possession of the child. The in.
ternational domestic tangle switched
to this city recently, when Mrs.
Cooke was arrested on the charge
of being an improper person to have
custody of the little girl. Since then
the Cooke case has played part in
the proceedings of almost every
branch of the states legal machin-
cry, including the juvenile and SUI
preme courts. A final decision is
not expected until the end of Janu-
ary.
The Montreal man did not oppose
Mrs. Cookies suit for divorce in
Nevada because, as he points out, he
had already spent enough money
trying to get possession OF the child
and it would have cost him $4,000
more before he could have entered
a defense under the law of that
state. Until the outcome of the
ease now pending in this state, little
Shirley is technically in custody of
the sheriff of Salt Lake county.

Chinese Mission
Church, Mexicali,
To Be Dedicated

The new Chinese mission of the
Methodist church in Mexicali will
be dedicated tomorrow Chrales
Wesley Burns, bishop of the San
Francisco area of the Methodist
Episcopal church will be the speak
er of the day. Bishop Burns is a
speaker of great force and elo-
quence. The morning service will
be largely in Chinese, but the after,
noon service at 2:30 will be espe-
cially for Americans.
Through the courtesy and kind
ness of the Mexican immigration of
ficials those presenting program
of the dedication exercises, will be
permitted to cross the line. Pro
grams may be secured from the
Methodist pastor in the city here.
The present mission was built to
replace one destroyed by fire in
1923. 1t is a three story reinforc-
ed concrete structure costing little
over $4,000 of which the Chinese
in Moxieali contributed nearly $10,-
600.
The lower basement floor is used
for educational and welfare work
of the mission. The main floor is "a
beautiful auditorium used for religi-
Gus services. 1t will seat 325 people
and on a number of
occasions already has been taxed to
its capacity. The upper floor has
dormitory accommodations for so
men, with shower baths, reading
room and other features to make it
and home like. There are
also offices in which are located the
Chinese vice consul and medical
and dental clinics. The mission is in
charge of Rev. and Mrs. Quentin p.
Royer.
DR.. d. II. Klinefelter, superinten-
dent of the Methodist Chinese work
on the Pacific coast, will be present
and assist in the dedication, as will
also Rev. Chan Lok Shang of Oak
