THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1921 GERHEADIN | APPEAL FOR STRICTSUNDAY ‘Rev. F. E. Clark Asks Members To See That Day is Not Desecrated New York, July 7—An appeal to Christian Endeavorers throughout the world .to oppose Sabbath desecra- tion, indecent dress, sensuous and promiscuous dancing and suggestive moving pictures was, made by the Rev. Francis FE. Clark, president, at | the Sixth World’s Christian En- j deavor convention here today. | In outlining proposed activities for | the coming year he said: ‘I. should | like to see a league of Endeavorers , set themselves against indecent | dress, sensuous, promiscuous dancing | and sensual and suggestive moving | pictures, all of which are destroy- | ing the modesty and eating out the | souls of millions of young people. | Let not Christian Endeavor be taint: | ed by practices that lead to conform: ity with the world, the flesh and | the devil. : i “The home is also our sphere of action. We are all children or par- ents or brothers or sisters. We be- long to. homes. Why should not family Christian Endeavor be a vital | part of our program for the years | to come? Many of us may establish : or help sustain family prayers, at | least breakfast table prayers, even in these busy days. “The decline of family religion is | a terrible menance to the Christian-, ity of the future. The men and|/ women of the generations yet un-; born will have ‘reason to bless you aif you stem the tide of worldliness in the home and establish there an altar ‘to our God. “We cannot escape our relation to the community 4nd the nation. Christain Endeavor must be patriotic but not partisan. It must take its place against the desecration of the; Sabbath: and of every high and holy ; thing. Jt must stand for temperance , and purity. In other words, it must | stand everywhere and always for! Christian citizenship,” ‘The speaker suggested as goals for; the society for the coming two years four aims. (First, a better grading : of societies so that wherever pos-j sible there will be junior, intermed- jate and senior societies and alumni councils, Second; closer and more | vital relations with pastor, church! and denomination with increased em- phasis on attendance at church ser- | vices; by cooperation in denomina- . tional and local church plans and | * by efforts to obtain recruits for) Christian service. Third; more emphasis upon re- | ligion in the home to help make the} home an agency of constructive | Christian training. Fourth; more em-} phasis on “personak stewardship” in| duties to community and country as | well as to God. Growth of the World’s Christian | Endeavor Union from one society to: more than 100,000 in the past 40 years with a total membership, past and present of more than 18,000,000 distributed the world over was point- ed out gy the speaker. j DIVORCE COURTS - WORK OVERTIME SINGER BASTER London, July 7.—Since Easter the divorce courts have been working at| high pressure to clear off an unprece- | dented accumulation of arrears, which, | added to a steady stream of new cases, | threatened at one time to overwhelm ; the physical capacity of the bench. | It needed the assistance of a num- | ber of retired judges to make head-| way against the avalanche of suits, with the result that they have been) disposed of at the average rate of two! score or more per day. The Lord'Chancellor, Lord Birken-| head, himself lent assistanee by act-! ing as an ordinary judge in the courts. | Reviewing the position, he said: | “The war has left a degree of un- | rest which has spread into almost | every sphere of modern life, and the | influence of which is likely to be felt! for an indefinite period in domestic relationships. “Nineteen out of twenty of the cases in arrears,” Lord Birkenhead added. “had their causes in the war of con-| quences of the war. The date when| he joined the army was the early chronological landmark of petitioner | after petitioner, from which dated the | familiar and melancholy story of} weakness on the part of the wife.” =| It is Lord Birkenhead’s opinion that! matrimonial suits may not return at least for a generation, to the pre-war level. The anomaly of the present situation | has revived controversies on the in- adequacies of English divorce laws. Mrs. Seaton-Tiedeman, secretary of the Divorce Law Reform Union, esti- mates that the number of wrecked marriages in the United Kingdom is higher in proportion to the popula- tion than in the United States. - - : % | POETS’ CORNER i BOYS.

Omaha, Neb., July 7.—From civi! ized life in an American cit, “queen” of a “musical comedy is with cannibals next door neighbors! It would ‘be a startling change-- even im fiction. ‘But Mrs. Louise Landrock, of Oma- ha, is making the jump, She is on the Pacific oeean, en route to Ngua, one of the Fiji islands, and the town of.Pontiank, in Dutch Borneo. She expects to settle down, almost in the center of the Fijis, as part | owper of a $10,000,009 estate. ‘One of the most eccentric_wills in history is, responsible for it all. Way back in 1664, Prince Wolfert Webbert, of Holland, became dis- runtied with his danghter, Princess nneka, for marrying out of royalty. He willed her share of his extensive island holdings to the seventh gen- eration of her descendants.

Some of the descendants preserved complete records. of their. lineage.

It-dates from 1664 to 1925. For five years ‘Mrs. Landrock has had.a representative in Dutch Borneo and the Fijis. He has been kept busy, she says, looking after crops of coffee, ‘pineapples, cocianuts, rubber, ete. In a recent letter this representa- tive told of a man in his employ who had been killed by canni¥als. But Mrs. ‘Landrock—with a diction- ary of the Malay language under her arm—is soon to set foot in the Fijis as the seventh descendant of Princess Anneka. CRIME WAVE, DUE TO WAR, COSTS AMERICA $100,000,000 A YEAR By Newspaper Enterprise. New York, July 7.--William B. Joyce, president of the National Surety Co., adds a $100,000,000 hither- to unmentioned item to America’s war cost, This huge sum is the estimated cost {of the 1920 crime wave, which Joyce says ig traceable to the effect of the war on humai It is a constantly growing figure, he points out, for it the present ratio if maintained, crime losses for 1921 wil he equally as large.

These companies paid claims aggre- gating $15,813,672, while in 1913, be- fore the outbreak of the war, clalms for only $3,328,789 were paid. But Joyce says that approximately 90 per cent of burglary and embezzlement losses are not insured, and that in many instances where full claims were paid, the insurance was far to small to cover the actual losses. Every war is followed by widespread disrespect of law, Joyce says.

Many Made Rich There are dozens of people in Ak- ron and other parts of the country today, wealthy and independent, who owe their fortunes to the man who| believed and practiced the idea that a man. should share the prosperity | and success of his business with those who work for him. i For example, the young woman who combinegd the work of book- keeper and stenographer in those; early days of the company put some of her savings into the concern. When she left to get married a number of years ago -her holdings were worth $50,000. There are scores more of compara- tively young: men and women with the company today who need have no fear of the future. They were clerks, salesmen, and factory work- ers in the early days. They had a talk with the “boss” about savings. He told each one of them about his plans and his visions of the future and offered them a chance to share in it. The other day Firestone received a letter from a former workman, who had ‘been ill for several years. He had spent a good deal of money try- ing to get well, but had $40,000 worth of stock left. He still wanted Fire- stone’s advice about his business and personal ‘affairs.
