operations and tremendous cour-
age-f1nally claimed Miss Phyllis

her with mechanical voice box.

herself heard with it. When in
terviewed by The Star in June,
1852, she was still trying to learn
how to use the system. 1t in
volved swallowing air into the
stomach, and forcing it out, ex-
perimenting with forming words.
Miss Vogel kept trying and
learned how to get enough vol
ume to be understood. She even
was able to talk by phone to her
cousin in New Jersey, although
it took great effort.
She joined the Lost Chord
Club" at Episcopal Hospital,
formed by persons who had SIM
liar operations. Later, she was
elected secretary, and read the
minutes with her new voice.

DR.. Harris f. Kirk,
Former Moderator Of
Presbyterian Church
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-THE
Rev. DR.. Harris E. Kirk, Pres
byterian minister better known
for the positions he turned down
rather than those he held, died
yesterday.
DR.. Kirk, who was 81, had
been minister of the Franklin
Street Presbyterian Church here
for more than so years and was
former moderator of the Presby-
terian Church in the United
States.
A personal friend of President
Woodrow Wilson, DR.. Kirk was
best known for his lack of f1ighty
oratory.
. He once told the Baltimore
Ministerial Union, Il have no use
for the pretty, polite, rosewater
sermon delivered with kid gloves
on.
"A minister is no good wearing
kid gloves. He ought to wear
brass knuckleS."
DR.. Kirk became pastor of the
Franklin street church in 1899,
coming here from the Cottage
Presbyterian Church in Nash
vile, Tenn.
In 1925 DR.. Kirk declined a
call to the pulpit of Fifth Ave-
nue. Presbyterian Church in New
York, becoming the first preacher
to reject a summons of the
church, so-called Cathedral of
Evangelism"
In later years DR.. Kirk said
his rejection ended the greatest
fight he ever had-with his
conscience. He also turned down
pastorateS in Louisville and Phil
adelphia and declined a call to
the chair of homiletics at Prince
ton University, explaining he
could accomplish more at the
church than by teaching.
DR.. Kirk is survived by his
widow, two daughters, son, six
grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.

An employe there, however,
told The Star that he considers
it coercion, and that "the mems

"The human element doesn't t
enter into it," the worker said,
"they don't care how they make

"And the average Government

He doesn't want any trouble with

Mr.. Horstman said the agita-
ton is uncalled for. "I still in

the graph. Nobody's going to
be told what to give, or made to
give. Coercion-that's out"
The division has 162 workers.
Most are journeyman printers.
Some laborers and clerks are
included.
The employe said an average
of $7.20 from each worker is
needed to make the quota. "If

he said. eff it's supposed to be
voluntary, you shouldn't have to
give a reason for the amount you
give. You should support char

For Voluntary Donations.
Mr.. Horstman said that all
giving would have to be Volun-
tary. That's the purpose of
these things. That's what it says
in the Bible" he said.
A month ago, Chest officials
tried to prevent what they called
excessive zeal" on the part OF
R. w. Scott Mcleod, administra-
tor of the State Departments S
Bureau of Security and Consular
Affairs. He, too, ordered his sub
ordinates into his office if they
refused to give to the Chest. He
said he wanted to lend them a
dollar apiece, if they lacked
money to contribute.
In that instance, Edward J.
Keyes, executive director of the
charity, said, I'VE do not approve
of the kind of coercion that is
involved in this case. The Chest
motto is Give Gladly and il
