in the eighth to close their ledger
account for the day in the red.
Once Sorenson settled, after that
first inning rout, he pitched some
cleancut ball. In seven innings. he
managed ten strikeouts, kept
Paynesville hits so scattered there
were no scores. Hanson in two in
nings pitched three strikeouts.
Three runs in the first for the
locals put the teams neck and neck
before they even hit the stretch. A
steady, driving pace Of hits and
runs chalked the Sank Centre pro-
gress. Two they managed In the
second, one run in the third, one in
the fourth, two in the fifth, was
their steady pace. In the 7th they
burst into a field day with five
runs collected, then held scoreless
during the eighth, and they sliced
in for four more in the ninth.
A bit of excitement doomed in the
7th when a short fly to left field
brought in fielder Soltau to take
the ball. Gritzmacher, on short,
moved back and the two collided.
Soltau's shoulder in Gritzmacher's
eye knocked the latter cold.
To Charley White, pint-sized for
the catcher's job, goes much credit.
His rowing eye took in the field at
glance, held his opponents on
base. His old fight talk kept the
gang up in the pep.
This week Soltau announced that
the senior team will have quite a
schedule including about eight
teams that have formed similar
leagues throughout this section. An.
nouncements will be made Of the
scheduled games, he said.

she had sent after his departure

two-year teaching mission.
He has mentioned getting only
one packet Of letters since he's been
there, she pointed out. That packet
contained one from home and sew
eral others. Other than that the
writing has been a one-sided pro-
position; he has been almost COM
pletely out Of touch with home

War in the Orient is blamed for
the descriptions in communication
services. Before an onslaught OF
the Japanese troops, the school at
Fenyang disbanded last fall, scat
tered in three separate groups to
southern part Of the province. Dur
ing his year in the Orient he has
been in three or four different
places with no ample means for
forwarding his address. In the
meantime Cliff has found great

letters, though weeks in transit, are
coming through regularly.
Recent developments find Clifford
and his co-partner in the work, Jack
Cation, undecided in their policy
In a letter recently he indicated
they might plan a return to the
States, but a reversal of that decis-
ion has already been made. In the
event he is able to stay the full
allotted time, his return will be
made in the summer Of 1889.

vised by the educational department
of the state, and at the same time,
insofar as they can, to keep the ex-
pense as low as possible.
The plan, as outlined by DR.. Du-
Bots, includes the moving Of the
Senior High School building to the
northwest corner Of the school lot,
to renovate the building and to
build an addition thereto on the
east side. The plan also includes a
gymnasium and auditorium to be
erected between the proposed new
addition and the present grade
school building. He stated the en-
tire cost of this work has been esti-
mated at $228,OO0, and that As per-
cent Of the same would be a gov
eminent grant under the PWA set
up. The board, he said, has been
advised, however, in applying for
the PWA grant to set the cost at
$240,000, as under changing con-
ditions and changing prices a lee
way of from $4,000 to $4,000 may
be necessary.
To move the Senior High School
building would cost $4,000, for re-
novating and repairing the building
$4,000 will be necessary. The new
part, which would provide seven
teen school rooms, is estimated to
cost $105, 900; the auditorium and
gymnasium $4,000; the garage, at
15c per cubic foot, being so feet
long and 80 feet by 10 feet high,
would estimate $4,000, and the I'M
foreground passageway would cost
approximately $1,000. The planned
auditorium would seat $40 people,
and the seating capacity Of the
gymnasium would be 100.
In another column will be found
a statement by the board of educa-
ton concerning the building prob
lem. In the above we have attempt
ed to give a skeletenized account of
the problem which confronts the
school board, and as it was present

urally, the answer to that Is that
the commercial people should find
parking places elsewhere. We real

commercial abuse is eliminated.

Requests All Clergy in Diocese
IN Tead Sunn1ication

The Right Rev. James E. Freeman
Bishop of Washington, has asked all
the clergy of his diocese to pray for
world peace at services to be held
in Episcopal churches tomorrow and
ION successive days"
The gravity of the situation in
Europe with the possibility of another
world war impending" the Bishop
said in messages sent to his clergy
throughout Washington diocese, i'm
pels me to ask you to request your
congregations to join you in earnest
prayer that God in His mercy will
avert such a catastrophe.
1T is my own practice just before
the sermon to ask the congregation to
stand in reverent silence for brief
space, followed by the prayer for the
family of nations on page "A of the
prayer book May express the hope
that in your private as we'll as in public
devotions you will continue to pray
to God the Father by the mediation
of our only Saviour Jesus Christ fol
the heavenly assistance of the Holy
Ghost that world peace may be main
tained and that His children may dwell
in quiet and security"
Bishop Freeman directed that pray
ers for peace be said at Washington

services tomorrow and during next
week, so long as present threats of
war continue.

new PLEA IS MADE
FOR RECEIVING HOME
New Structure to Permit Young
to Be Separated in Groups
Asked by Leonard.

Another plea for construction of a
new Receiving Home for Children, one
that will permit segregation of diff
ferent types of cases, was made in the
annual report of Lady Leonard, super
lntendent, released today by the Board
of Public Welfare.
He asked that the oft-requested new
home provide housing for so children
or more unless funds are provided for
additional foster homes for dependent
children. More such foster homes are
needed, he added. so that dependent
children may be separated entirely
from delinquent children under the
care of the institution.
The future of the Receiving Home,
as we'll as the National Training
School for Girls and other child-caring
agencies Of the District, now is being
studied by an expert employed by the
United States Children's Bureau.
Contrary to the general public un-
derstanding, Mr.. Leonard said, about
80 per cent of the children sent to
the Receiving Home last year were II
years of age or older While most of
the 3,061 children taken to the home
last year were brought in by police. 3S4
were sent by the Board of Public We'll
fare and other social agencies. The
home handled 88 lost children and 174
fugitives from parents.

Ouer Men Under

F. the Associated Press,

E. the Associated Press.
Miss Mary w. Dewson, member of the
Social Security Board, told working
women today many of them would get
q better break" than men under the
Governments old-age insurance plan.
1t is because they earn less. as a
rule, and work shorter time, she said,
and the old-age benefit plan "is
weighted in favor of the workers who
earn the least"
In a statement. Miss Dewson said
that even with very low salaries, part
time pay or piece-work wages, women
covered by the Social Security Act
can build up benefits which will pre-
vent dependency in old age.
For example, she said. girl who
averages SIS week for five years
work before marriage, will build up a
claim to Government check for
$15.75 month. beginning when she
is IS. Based on rates applicable if
she began work January l, 1887, the
girl would pay S46.80 in social security
tax during that time. If she lived to
be rs, her return would be 1880.
