Cong. Church Makes
Every Member Canvass

On Sunday, December 4th, the
Congregational church put on it
fifth annual Every Member Canvass.
Fourteen men and four young men
were present at the morning service
at the church, ate lunch in the
basement and spent the afternoon
visiting the members and friends Of
the church soliciting their support
for the coming year. Supper was
served the men at six o'clock at
which time they reported the re
suits of their work. Actual pledge
received came within a hundred
dollars of the budget for 1928 and /
conservative estimate of pledges ex-
pected from persons not seen puts
the amount a hundred or more dol
lars over the budget. The support
pledged for 1928 exceeds that OF
previous years which goes to show
that people believe in the program
of the first Congregational churce.
1t may be news to some people that
this church will for the fifth con
secn,ive year support its entire pro
gram by the voluntary gifts of is
members and friends. Neither the
minister nor janitor will depend up
on the private sale of gasoline or
cigars for their salaries this coming
wear. il is the testimony Of
churches everywhere that the Eve
ry Member Canvass is the only
business like way to sustain its pro.
gram.

Frame Buildings Withstand
Big Tornado Disaster

How to live in safety in spite of
hurricanes and tornadoes is a sub
ject of much interest, particularly
since the disasters in Miami and St.
Louis and the recent tornado in
Washington, D. c.
The protection afforded bv frame
buildings has been strikinelY dem
0nstrated in all three of these
storms and the reason for it are be-
ing investigated by engineers at
Washington" according to report
received today by L. E. Rue, we'll
known local lumberman.
The resiiency of lumber has
much to do with its power to resist
the force of the wind, according to
this report.
In the Washington storm, roofs
were uncovered, walls blown out,
porches dislodgej and chimneys
and parapets toppled, causing prop.
ertv damage estimated at $685. 0O0
and iDjurine 200 persons. In one
of the storm sections, in the midst
of shattered, torn and demolished
brick houses, a row of four one sto-
ry frame dwellings stood up, mute
witnesses of the tornado which hgd
left them unscated. The only dam
age to these four frame structures
was toppled chimney and broken
panes of glass. All about these
frame dwellings were ample eviden-
ces of the storm, the investigation
revealed. The front wall of one
brick dwelling was blown out; the
roofs OF the other houses were car
ried away, brick garage was COM
pletely leveled. In another district,
made up entirely of frame build
iDes, the damage was relatively
minor except in few cases where
il was due not to the material but
10 faulty construction. The only
serious damage to one of the frame
houses in this section was to its
foundation, built of concrete blocks.
The blocks we're dislodeed III some
instances as much as one inch.
| The siding of the house remained
intact and outside of damsge to the
porch rail, the lumber in the house
met the full force of the storm sue
cessfully.
HOUSES BLOW OUT NOT DOWN
The engineers explain that the
effect of storm of this sort, is a
sudden lowering of the air pressure
in the storm area, amounting at
times to as much as 800 or 400
pounds per square foot. The result
is lifting and outward pressure,
similar to that caused by dvna-
mite explosion. Because of the re-
silence of lumber, they point out,
frame structures absorb pressures
thus set uD in contrast 10 masonry
or brick walls which have no resi-
liency and no bending strength TO
resist the winds force.
| This outward pressure often
spends itself by blowing out win
dows and doors, and in the case of
the former it usually takes much of
the brick work about the windows.
A large part of the damage done
to all types of construction in storm
areas is the result of faulty con-
struction, the engineers contend.
Where frame buildings failed to
stand up the investigators found
obviously unsound construction.
After studying effects of recent
storms, construction engineers have
devised improvements in house
framing that are calculated TO make
residences practically hurricane
proof.

The color is wonderful. 1t is slim
ulating and satisfying at the same
moment. The conventionalized
forms are reminiscent of Persian,
Byzantine and American art, but
they show the touch of the bold
Semitic imagination of the artist.
There is an occasional design that
follows closely the inspiration of
some decorated bit of American
Indian pottery or weaving, even to
a careful adherence to the famil-
lar black and red and ochre coloring
but there are many more where
oriental intricacy enricheS the simp-
Ter American patterns not only in
line and mass but in color as well.

that the galleries must be dis

been a privilege to show a repre-
sentative group of fine canvases
from the brush of so able an artist,
and so esteemed son of Indiana.
The French etchings will remain
on view for another month. The
present showing is a discriminating
selection from among the choicest
of European prints.

the fact that there are a great
number of veterans who have not

In addition to the veterans who

under the patronage of a Russian
Grand Duchess, in Paris.
After Paris ne removed to Mos
COW and painted scenes of Russian
life and conventional portraits, sew
eral examples of which are in the
Tretiakoff Gallery.
After mourning the displeasure
of the Russian authorities for in
cooperating political references in
his paintings, he returned to Paris.
This was in 1906 and three years
later he achieved universal recogni-
ton as a stage designer when the
Imperial Russian ballet visited the
French capital with productions of
Cleopatra and Scheherazade for
which he had designed the stage
settings. In the years that followed
he prepared many remarkable de-
signs, Egyptian, Greek, japanese,
CnlneSe, Byzantine, ana european
Renaissance and medieval for as
many operas and ballets.
All of his work is characterized
by brilliant color in extraordinary
combinations, and all displays the
wealth OF his imagination and the
fertility of his invention.
He was the first of the great art
ist designers to turn his attention
to textile designing and in 1923 in
association with an American silk
manufacturer, he completed num-
Der of designs, the majority of them
inspired by American motives. In
1924 he died.

Resolution by Washington
Federated Clubs
MRS. MINNIE M. BELL


In the untimely passing of Mrs.
Minnie M. Bell, the State Federation
of Colored Women's Organizations of
Washington and Jurisdiction has sus-
tanned a loss which is we'll nigh ir-
remediable.
From the birth of our Federation
the deceased has been officially con-
nected with it. No woman in our
jurisdiction has served the organiza-
ton more faithfully and more eff
ficiently. Year after year in the an
nual or in the quarterly Executive
meetings, when the roll was called
her CHEEKY voice answered "here. !"
As a co-worker the presence of Mrs.
Minnie M. Bell, will be missed. Mis-
sed in the state, in the Northwestern
and in the National meetings.
Our deceased co-worker served the
state as parliamentarian for several
years. She possessed keen and in
terpretative mind for parliamentary
law. There is no doubt had this tai
ent been cultivated commercially and
professionally she would have
become a true follower of Portia.
At our recent annual meeting held
at Yskima, Mrs. Bell was elected as
recording secretary Of our Fedora
ton. Evidently she was making her
way forward.
The coming years can augment,
but they cannot efface the memory
of cur faithful co-worker.
Peace to her soul!
