recommendations designed to bet
ter clarity Montgomery county's
financial set-up, as presented by
H. 8. Yohe, chairman Of the f.
nance and budget committee, were
unanimously adopted by the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation
here last night.
Chief among the recommends
lions made was the financial books
Of the county be revised without
delay to show in more detail all
county expenditures. In urging
this change, he suggested that all
such expenditures be supported
by vouchers to show when, why
and to whom such payments were
made.
A complete and thorough audit
of all financial transactions of
the County Liquor Control Board,
from its conception in 1888 to date,
was also urged by the financial
committee.
A complete check of financial

all special assessment projects,
conducted by the county commits
SionerS since adoption of the law
authorizing such work, was urged.
The legislative measure author
ling construction projects on the
special assessment basis was
adopted by the General Assembly
more than 10 years ago, it was
pointed out.
AS an economy measure Mr..
Yole recommended that the county
commissioners be urged to estab-
lish a central purchasing depart
ment to buy all county supplies.
BY such a move, Yohe declared,
it would be possible to purchase
in larger quantities and obtain
better prices. Under the present
system each department makes it's
own purchases.
The recent drive in Takoma
Park, Md, against Maryland resi-
dents driving on District license
plates was lauded by the fedora
ton membership during last
nights session, and a resolution,
urging the county commissioners
to order the extension of such a
drive to cover the entire county,
was unanimously adopted by the
membership.

CUDAHY Sc )
WAR CERTAIN
IN4YEARS

CHICAGO, Oct. 10 Q.N.S0,
Unequivocal warning that "only
q miracle" can avert a general
European war during the next
four years was sounded today by
John Cudahy, United States Am
bassador to Poland, in radio ad'
dress here.
Recalling that today there are
more men under arms than there
were at the outbreak OF the
World War, Ambassador Cudahy
declared:
'When the last soldier has
been made ready, when the ar
SenaIs have been filled to the
tOpmOst shelf, when the last
great gun has been turned out
from the srmOries, when the
last bombing plane has flown
its test flight, then as ever be-
fore in history the general
stats will give the word and
the armies will march while
all humanity passes under the
ShrOud Of universal mourn
ing"
He added:
Certainly by every sign and
pOrtent another war approaches
in Europe. When? Tomorrow,
next week, next year? No one
knows. But when that black
day comes this country must
be prepared"
Ambassador Cudahy's remarks
were part of an address in which
he urged the reelection Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

Miss Gestring wavered between
laughter and tears for half an hour
after she won. Members of the
American swimming team. including
Miss Rawls, took turns hugging and
kissing the diminutive champion.

Miss Rawls who also was runner-up
four years ago at Los Angeles. seemed
almost as happy taking second place
again.
That last one was beauty, Margie," P"
she said enthusiastically.
Miss RawlS appeared to have the
championship sewed up after half the
field Of 16 competitors had completed
the three compulsory and three elective
dives.
But "Margie" still was to be heard
from. Trailing Is of point at the
end Of the compulsory competition, she
opened the optional campaign with
marvellous forward somersault with
half twist. making the days highest
score, 1920, and passing Miss Rawls.
Back Where She Started.
Her next dive, though, which was a
one running somersault
with a tuck. she gained only 14.4o
points, putting her right back where
she started.
The crowd Of 10000 almost held its
collective breath as Miss Gestring con-
f1dently squared off for her final leap,
realizing she needed the difncult score
of 1907 to gain tie.
She cleaved both the air and the
water beautifully. Cheering began and
swelled as the judges set up their seven
individual figures and 1t became evil
dent that Miss Gestring had come
close to turning the trick.
When it was announced her last
dive rated 1900 points the crowd rose
and gave the little girl a tremendous
ovation. Miss Gestring's figures for

dom came.
After the war the M. E. Church
South called in the leadership of
the Negroes who had accepted
Christianity under their tutelage
and said, "Organize a denomination
of your own. Elect your own
bishops and general officers. We
will see you through" After that
the Colored M. E. Church was Or
ganized. At that time the M. E.
Church said to the Negroes at

US. We will nuture you until you
are strong"

African M. Els, Colored M. E.'s,
and the Negro M. E.'s in the M. E.
Church. Time has gone on.
Schools and colleges have been
built. Leadership has been trained.
Well prepared preachers, presiding
elders, general officers and bishops
have been produced. The Negroes
in the M. E. Church are as fine
proof as exists of Negro ability.
It is a part of interdenomina-
tional thinking that all Methodists
should be in one organization.
First: Get the white group to-
gether in one organization. Next:
All the Negro Methodists in one

a part of the thinking that the
whole task cannot be accomplished

A Few Methodist
Facts
By o. C.. Hall

About 1786 the Methodist
Church came to America. In 1889, in
free Philadelphia, a group of Ne
groes entered a Methodist Church
in that city and were insulted be-
cause they knelt in prayer on the
main floor of the church, instead of
in the balcony where preparations
were made for Negroes. Under
the leadership of Richard Allen the
group left the church and later or
ganized the African Methodist
Church, and quoting Allen, "Where
we could worship God under our
own vine and fig tree" About the
same time Zion African Methodists
organized in New York.
In 1S43 the Wesleyan, M. E. S.
(white) withdrew from the M. E.
Church because the church was too
inactive on the slavery question.
In 1874, in General Conference,
the M. E. Church spoke out in no
uncertain terms. And since that
time no agency has been buster
for Negro uplift than the M. E..
Church.
In 1845 after a bishop had been
reproached for marrying a slave
owning widow, the M. E. Church
South split off from the main body
of the church. Later all branches
of Methodism did missionary work
among the slaves. And then free
