Episcopal Meetings
ToDraw Huge Crowd
General Convention Opens Next Week in Atlantic City;
Famed Golden Aims Basin to Be Used

the United Thank Offering which
is woman's own special contribu-
ton to the church from the utter
most parts of the earth. In far off
China, in the snowfields of Alaska,
in equatorial Africa, the Philip
pines and the West Indies, as well
as in continental United States, the
women the church lay by day by
day, their ven, rupees, pesos, shill-
ings, milreas and pennies to swell
the fund. The native women OF
Alaska make fur bags and mocas-
sins, the Indian women lace and
bead work, Chinese women and the
women of Hawaii, as well as Bra
I'll, Mexico an dthe West Indies
contribute their handiwork; and
into every city, town and hamlet In
the United States and foreign lands
where the church operates, go the
little blue boxes of the woman's
auxiliary, into which a steady
stream of contributions pours. At
the end of every three-year period,
In the early days of every triennial
general convention Of the church,
the combined gift is placed upon
the golden aims basin at a special
corporate communion service, TO
carry forward the work which the
women of the church are doing
throughout the world.
From small beginnings the
Thank Offering has grown into one
of the largest individual revenues
of the Episcopal Church. The first
offering, that of 1S89,-amounteG
to $2,1S8.64. Three years later il
was $56,19S.35. The 100000 mark
was reached in 1901, and then, ny
leaps and bounds, the triennial
gift increased until the million dol
lar mark was reached at the gen
eral convention meeting in Wash.
ington in 1928.
Builds Mission Homes
The United Thank Offering is
devoted in large measure to con-
structing mission homes, hospital
and schools in both foreign and
domestic missionary fields and
maintaining there women workers
in medical, educational and indus
trial as we'll as purely religious eff
forts.
Over thousand women workers
have been sent into the field by
the auxiliary. and from Alaska to
Patagonia and from New York to
Tokyo, the field Is dotted with in
situations built and maintained
through the United Thank Offer
ing.
The amount of offering for 1884
will be announced at mass meet
ing in Atlantic City, at which the
presiding bishop of the church, Rt
Rev James De Wolf Perry, d. D.,
will preside, and the Rt Rev Frank
Wilmington Creighton, d. D, suf-
fragan bishop of Long Island, and
missionary bishop in charge of
Mexico, will be the principal
speaker.

Automobile Accident Week

800 (the Iroquois), the papers are full Of
immense headlines, Investigations are
instigated, newlaws are passed, and the
event is remembered for so years.
BIT we kill so, 600 a year and injure
$50, 600 with automobiles, according to
statistics of The Travellers Insurance
Company, and nobody seems to mind
much.
That's because the accidents are
thinned out over the year and scattered
in different localities. They constitute
a gigantic catastrophe, but we get it ON
the installment plan, and anything we
get on the installment plan doesn't
bother US much.
So that's why say concentrate 'em.
I'll bet if my plan of having all our
auto smashups in one week were
adopted, somebody would sit up and
take notice and DO SOMETHING.

Chicago, Oct 22.(UP)-Samuel
insult, humbled former autocrat OF
a $4,000, 100000 industry and OF
gold coast society, met today with
a return of his dynamic vigor the
greatest test of an epic career.
With 16 men whom he carried
to fortune in his rise from an i'm
migrant steerage to millions, In
sull went to trial of charges of de-
frauding thousands of investors of
their savings.
At the climax of the catastrophes
which he says have reduced him
from personal fortune of nine
figures to virtual poverty, the IA
year-old insult dominated the
scene. His gray hair bristled and
his jaw jutted belligerently as he
gave last minute directions to q
corps of attorneys.
The trial is expected to last at
least four months. Veniremen al
ready were sworn in. $500 govern
ment exhibits lined the paneled
walls in shelves and rs government
witnesses were ready to offer the
first of testimony regarding the A.
nances of 75 corporations.
The judge is James H. Wilker-
son, who sentenced Alphonse
(Scarface AID Capone to prison for
II years.
On a bench just behind the
courtroom's railing sat the seven
teen defendants, close enough to
their attorneys to whisper occa-
sional comments as selection of a
jury was begun. Besides insult they
are:
Harold L. Stuart. president OF
Halsey, Stuart & Co, investment
firm that dealt in insult securities.
Stanley Field, banker and
nephew of tho late Marshall Field
Chicago merchant.
Charles B. Stuart, vice. president
of Corporation Securities Co., the
stock holding apex of the insult
utilities empire.
Frank X. Schrader, director OF
Corporation Securities.

Here is a dandy new plan for auto
mobile accidents:
Instead Of scattering our automobile
accidents throughout the year, pro-
pose that we save them all up and have
them all in one week to be known as
Accident Week"
Just think what headline this would
make: 40, 900 KILLED AND $50, 900
INJURED LAST WEEK IN AUTO
ACCIDENTS"
What a slaughter that would be!
What a noise!
Everybody in the nation would then
rise up and demand that something be
done to avoid a repetition Of Accident
Week" next year. When a boat goes
