In 1S46 was organized the American Missionary association. now another Of the home boards. It. work is among the under privileged races in this country including es- pecially the Negroes in the south, but also many other peoples. An other division of the home boards is concerned with providing pension annuities for retired ministers and relief for cases of special need. Aft CT Congregational ministerial relief had been undertaken in many states, its organization on a national scale was begun about 10 years ago. h. vested resources for pension an- nuities and ministerial relief now amount to more than 10 millions.
 Almost immeasurable progress has been made in missionary work since the time when John Robinson. the Pilgrim pastor who remained in Leydon, Holland. after hearing that some Indians had been killed in bat tle wrote 10 Governor Bradford, "Oh that you had converted some before you had killed any," While reaiz- ing the progress which has been made, the national council of the Congregational churches also be- lieNes that the time has come for new and distinct advance. At it's bi- ennial meeting held this June in Detroit, the national council adopted q Plan of Advance" for 1880 and succeeding years. The part which the New England churches should have in this advance is the central theme for the regional meeting in New Britain.

LONG TAXI JAUNT
 CAPT|VATES YOUTH
Lad Yearns for Mountains, So
 Judge Agrees to Plan

Chicago Oct. 26 (UP)-George ". Morgan. Jr.. has realized the se- cret ambition of every 11-year- old boy-to ride 1000 miles in a taxi cab--but already he is homesick for the blue Carolina mountains and the home of his grandmother, from which he was brought by his moth- CT, Mrs, Lillian Morgan Pattison.
 Mrs. Pattison was divorced from George w. Morgan in North Caro- lima five years ago. Morgan was awarded custody of the boy, but when he remarked placed George in the care of his grandmother on a farm near Ashevillc.
 Mrs. Pattison visited her son and induced him to go with her. They travelled in a taxi-cab for three days, reaching Chicago while the father still was searching the mountains for the boy
 The mother filed a petition to adopt George, declaring she had brought her son from the nine teenth to the twentieth century" by removing him from the Civil war of his grandparents farm. She testified that the home was impoverished, insanitary and dangerous and that George was far behind in his schooling.
 Circuit Judge Craig A. Wood ask ed the boy where he preferred to live.
 Well. I'd like to live with my mother in Illinois most of the time.' vas the reply, but when it's fall in the mountains and there are brown leaves on the trees and things like that, I'd rather be with dad.'
 So Judge Hood ruled that was the way it should be. George was awarded to his mother with the that he be allowed to go 10 Asheville when there are brown leaves on the trees"

 A year after the carving was obtained by DeMott officials, a Viennese art collector was in New York and visited the firm to tell Of an ivory carving in the Zagreb cathedral. He said the carving could be purchased for s2O,00O. When informed DeMott already had purchased such a carving, the Wien nese returned to Europe to inves- tigate.
 He found the carving had been removed from the cathedral and clever imitation substituted. An Of tcial of the cathedral and a jani- tor were said to be the only per sons who had access to the room in which the carving was kept.

OCTOBER 2S IS NAVY DAY
Anniversary of Introduction Into Congress of Resolution to Con-
 Struct Man. -Of-W to be Observed.

Navy day, usually celebrated on October 27, the birthday of the for mer president, Theodore Roosevelt, will be celebrated this year on Oc- tober 2S.
 On October 27, 1775, the first resolution to construct an American n-ofwar was introduced into the continental congress, which measure was shortly afterward adopted. But perhaps a greater reason for the se- lection of October 27 as Navy Day is that that day is the anniversary of the birth of the late president, Roosevelt. It was he who wrote a history of the naval war of 1872, and, as assistant secretary of the navy and as president. devoted his energies in teaching preparedness.

Schwab Urges Stabil1ation of
 Profits In Steel Industry While
 Praising Lowering of Many Costs
High Time Old Idea That Business Must Be Either a Prince Or a Pauper Passes," He Tells Insti- ute.

New York, Oct. 26 LP-Stabilza ton of profits was upheld by Charles NJ. Schwab yesterday in an address before the American Iron & Steel Institute, of which he is president.
 He declared it was ethical and ne- cessary for the steel industry to think in terms of stabilized profits as to strive for stability in other respects. Tt is high time" he said, we scrapped the idea that the steel business must be either a prince or a pauper.'
 He estimated production for 1929 would exceed 57,OOO,O00 tons, ten per cent greater than ir, 1928, the best previous year, but said even more important than this was the degree of stability attained
 This fundamentally sound cCndi- tion," he said. lis largely responsible for the uniform prosperity which has been shared by all branches and all companies in the industry It is significant that the industry's favor able showing has not been due to high prices"
 He attributed the improved earn ings to three factors: greater de- mand for steel; enlarged output and lower costs.
 While at present, he said, there is 2 slight let-up in demand, he de- clared it would be unfortunate to let any slight fluctuations in demand disturb the healthy balance that has been established. He pointed out that falling off in demand would be bound to result in an increase in costs in which event stabilized price structure would be needed more than ever
 Believes In Low Costs
 "I am a firm believer" he said that one of the best ways of assur- ing progress on an even keel is to let the cost sheet be our compass. The cost sheet will tell us whether pro- ductive capacity in any branch of the business is in excess of current requirements. 1t will reveal un- economic and obsolete practices. It will forestall an unsound Irice struc- ture. It will discourage the attempt to produce to capacity all the time, regardless of demand"
 He urged discarding Of the idea that costs were not important in de- tcrmining sales policies because the latter are fixed by competitive prices.
 "The fact is" he said, that com- petitive prices frequently fail to yield 2 proper return because they do not give adequate consideration to costs"
 He advocatesd that the institute members consider the advantages of uniform cost accounting, declar- ing knowledge of the true costs of production and distribution based upon uniform cost accounting would have a far reaching effect in pro- noting the industry's stability and economic well being. He said no reason why the present prcsperitt Of the industry should not continue in- definitely if the equilibrium between production and consumption was

gressmen while they were in office.
 Mulhall produced 20,000 letters and telegrams to prove his charges, which also incuded stories of strilebreaking and the bribery of labor leaders. He alleged an at tempt to bribe Gompers with $40,- GOO which Gompcrs later confirmed. It was shown that the N. NJ. A. had paid campaign expenses of con- gressment, including James E. Wat son, now republican senate floor leader, who helped it get its favor ties on important committees.
 Affirming the truth of the Null hall charges, the Investigating com- mittee said members had been ap- tampered with and spied upon, house employees bribcd, voters mis- led and elections corrupted.
 The Railroads Were Busy
 In 1919 the railroads lobbied sue cessfully for the Esch- -Cummins transportation act with the aid of the L. $. Chamber of Commerce. Senator La Toilette said the cam paign had cost them $3.000.0 .00Q, in- cluding a special assessment of $1,600,00. In 1924, to save the law from repeal. they organized the National Transportation Institute to spend $1,a0O,00 in a propaganda which included the main tpnanCe of q salaried agent in every state to create sentiment and or ganlZe pressure on congress.

 "A return to first principles in the foreign missionary program will probably only come, however, as a result Of a return to first principles in the church at home. Missions will have q re- birth when we, ourselves, are reborn and probably not before.
