The money is needed, said Mr Chance, to carry on activities of the assoctation which are not well under- 8tood, but whose value increases every year. This work is supported ocia- in turn the community benefits. Many Services Rendered. i The service department of the Y. M. C. A. has become a national cle ing house for the transaction of ness of every conceivable nature, s Mr. Chance. Because of the location here of the Capita® requests for serv- ice come from all sections of the country, some of them by mall or telegram, and others by personal calls. Not long ago the Y. M. C . obtained & mar license, a minister and a ceremo for a couple who wanted to get married, and in the same day | started a man on the road to getting his citizenship, while it procured per- mission for the wife of still another man to enter the country from Europe. | In addition, it supplies speakers for | religious meetings throughout the| country, obtains information from the | Government and directs others how | o go about helping themselves. The employment service, which is| rendered free, said Mr. Chance, placed 218 out of the 319 men who applied for positions last year and gave.interviews to some 1,466 other men who found themselves needing advice and help which could come | from no other local agency or institu- | tlon. The location in Washington of | many universities 00ls” which are advertised nat brings to Washington every year scores of young | men who picture the Capital a sa place where jobs are many and easy to get, sald Mr. Chance, and especially during the Fall the Y. M. C. A. is swamped with these young men who know of no other place to go, who are broke hungry and out of a job. The asso. clatlon provides them “with food and lodging while it secks to place them in contact again with their homes, and either obtains employment for them or helps them get back home. . Boys' Department Expensive. In addition, the assoclation’s rell- glous work and its boys’ department, while considered necessary, are losses, financially speaking, to the Y. M. C. A. In the boys' department rates are 80 low that they do not pay either for the equipment or the serviee rendered the boys, but admit, at the same time, hundreds of young boys who other- wise could not afford to join the Y. M. C. A. Through the assoclation's religious department, 146,317 men were reached during the year just closed in the 2,699 meetings held in the Y. M. C. A., in churches or other gathering places under the auspices of the association, This year the association has placed Earl B.

ORDER PAPER TO CLOTHE NUDE ON MOVIE PROGRAM Portland Censors Demand Picture on Cover Be Draped When Theater Is Opened. By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Oreg., November 13.— The motion picture censorship board ! and ruled today that a nude | aid to be copied from a statue | in the Cathedral of Leon, in Spai will have to be clothed with a s paper when a program 1 the | picture on the outside cover is used at | the opening of a new Pantages the- | ater here. The theater management, when ad- vised of the board's objection to the plcture, proposed to cover it with a sllp of paper carrying two printed | statements. The board permitted one of these statements to remain: “An exact duplicate of this program cover ‘was used for the dedication of the new Pantages Theater, San Francisco.” The other proposed statement was ruled off. It would have read: “By order of the Portland board of motion picture censors the beautiful and his- toric statue depicted on this cover page has been condemned.” e e AKRON TIRE COMPANIES TO MEET 15 PER CENT CUT Desire to Reduce Surplus Stocks Believed Basis for Reduction.

KANSAS CITY BANK PUT IN HANDS OF OFFICIALS Gaining Foothold in United States. “There is a saying ‘Youth must be served’” We in Toc H say ‘Youth must_serve.’ " ¢ It ‘'was the Prince of Wales who summarized in this fashion, the real spirit and meaning of the Toc H movement that is issuing its chal- lenge now to youth in America. Established in Washington 16 months ago, the local Toc H group has become by now a fixed institu- tion in the Capital. A group of young men, devoting their spare time to serving youth, are endeavoring in varfous ways to transiate this real meaning of the Toc H movement, Visitors who come to the Wednes- day evening “open house,” held week- 1y by the members of Toc House Mark 1, at 219 C street, are greeted by a sign: “All rank abandon, ye who enter here.” That is the spirit of comradeship that prevails throughout the Toc H movement. The story of Toc H is the story of could build. The house stood in one of the main streets of Poperinghe, a place which the soldiers of that area knew, during the World War, as the first upstanding and habitable place when they came out of the semi- circle of unspeakable mud and suf- fering, shown on the military maps the Ypres sallent. The salient has faded completely from the atlases, but Tablot House, as it was first known, remains as a living memorial to those who, by the gift of their lives, stand before the world, ex- amples of service and sacrifice. Founded by ‘“Padres.” It was founded by two “padres” of the Church of England, but it was, as its signboard announced, “Every- man'’s Club’—whatever one’s religion or rank. Unfettered fellowship among mem- bers of an immense, hardpressed family of men was its whole aim, and the seal of this, its purpose was set in the upper room among the rafters, where an old carpenter's bench served day by day as the altar of the Carpenter of Nazareth. Actually “Everyman’s Club” as it stood in the Ypres salient, is already to be found, pretty closely repeated all over England, Canada, New Zea- land, Australia, Maylay States, South Africa, South America and the United States. Talbot House was named after Gil- bert Talbot, son of the Bishop of Winchester, who was killed in action In July, 1915. But that was not the end. It was rather a beginning. In December of the same year, a house bearing his nmeme was opened in Poperinghe and a friend and leader of mine, was put in charge of it. He was a chaplain in the 6th Divi- sion, a friend of Gilbert Talbot, named and known only as “Tubby” Clayton. First it got a queer name, a nick name, as most loved things and peo- ple get. Men called it T. H., until some _enthusiastic fellow in the Sig- nal Corps gave T the pame it had in the British telephonic signal code and it became known as Toc H. That is the way the Téc H move- ment got its heing. In America, it is but at the beginning of its life and work. Groups exist in various cities on the Atlantic seaboard and efforts are being made to develop them as a basis of expansion across the continent. House Established Here. = Toc House at 219 C street sets out to be a_fellowship, or—more simply— a family. Its 32 members seek to Its “padre” is Rev. , pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims. One of the leaders of the movement in Canada, Hugh E. Ketchum, World War veteran, has been loaned to the Toc H organiza- tion in this country and is directing the work in Washington. These young men, employed dur- ing the day time, devote most of their spare hours in one way or an- other serving youth. Some are doing Boy Scout work, others are engaged in hospital work, while still others are running boys’ clubs. The class- room, church and mission, the factory and even the prison offer them op- portunity to render some sort of service to those less fortunate or in guiding the youthful stranger to the realization that the work he is doing does not matter so much as how he employes his spare time. The Toc H movement was started in Washington through the efforts of Mrs. Katherine V. H. Wylie, who has made it possible for the small group of volunteer workers to occupy their present quarters, the members pay- ing their board and lodging accord- ing to their means. Coleman Jen- nings is chairman of the local com- mittee behind the movement, the other members being Dr. Larkin W. Glazebrook, Rev. Andrew Bird, Lea Luquer and Hulburt Wollfall. Right Rev. Charles H. Brent, Episcopal bishop for western New York and chaplain general of the American Expeditionary Forces, is president of the organization in the United States. A guest night is held at the local ouse every Wednesday evening, when resident and non-r bers and candidates for admission get together. At these meetings some prominent social worker usually ad- dresses the members on work as- soclated with the “Four Points of the Toc H Compass.” These four points, embracing the purpose of the organization, pledge the members “to think fairly, to love widely, to witness humbly and to build bravely.” FINDS FEW BOYS PLAN TO ENTER MINISTRY Educator Discovers Only Seven in Canvass in Five States—Farm- ing Also Unpopular. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 13.— Surprising results have been found regarding high school students’ ideas of life in a canvass of 25,000 boys and girls in five States by Montaville Flowers of Pasadena, Calif., educator, lecturer and author. Among other things, Mr. Flowers found that high school students had a big laugh for farming or the min- istry as their life work. In a survey of high schools in California, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, Mr. Flowers said he had found only seven boys who admitted they contemplated entering the min- istry. The distaste for farming, too, was so prevalent, that the educator freely “tremendous changes in agricultural production will have to take place if the present defections from the farms continue.” “Why, the exodus from the farms has just begun,” he declared, ‘‘and already it is admitted to be one of the country’s most serious problems. If the present mental attitude of boys and girls, as revealed to me so far does not change, important readjust- ments may be expected.” The aspiration for ‘“gentleman’s jobs” was almost universal, even In the more remote districts, he said. ——— Plans to Nol-Pros Cases.

By the Associated Press. GREENVILLE, Ohilo, November 13.—T. J. Burns, who has just ex- ceeded by seven years the allotted three score and ten, smoked his first cigar on his seventy-seventh birthday anniversary. And as he smoked memory pictured for him in the fragrant blue haze a scene in a little crossroads store at Gettysburg on his twenty-fifth birth- day anniversary, when the proprietor presented him with a ‘“ten-center. In those days a “‘ten-center’ was con- sidered quite a cigar. Burns decided to keep it “until after supper.” After he decided to save it until he was older and better able to appreciate it. And the longer he saved it the more attached to it he became. He lavished every kindness on it. He wrapped it carefully in cotton and molstened it now and then to keep it from crack- ing. The day he was 77 he decided to smoke the cigar which had furnished him so much anticipatory cheer dur- ing 52 years. “I was afraid I might not be here to smoke it next year,” he sald. “Oh, yes, I been smokin’ all my life, but this was my first cigar I jest smoked. Right good one, too.” ROYAL BETROTHAL DENIED OSLO, Norway, November 13 (#).— Highest court sources today denied any knowledge of the reported be- trothal of Crown Prince Olav of Nor- way to Princess Martha, sister of Princess Astrid, who recently was married to Crown Prince Leopold of Belgium. Court _circles express pity for Prince Olav, because he is always being annoyed with rumors of his en- gagement to one princess or another. The leading newspapers here refrain from mentioning the rumor, which had its origin in Stockholm. of $135,000 for City. Laymen of the Presbyterian Churches of the Washington presby- tery will continue for another week their campaign for $135,000, the local quota of a national budget of $15,- 000,000 needed to make operative the new retirement plan of the church, it was_announced last night by John B. Larner, chairman of the Wash- ington laymen'’s executive committee. The campaign here thus will close November 22 instead of tomorrow eve- ning, and in keeping with this de- cision, the final report meeting of workers has been postponed from to- morrow until Monday week at 6:30 p.m. at the Franklin Square Hotel. p Churches Needed Time. The extension of the period of the drive, Mr. Larner stated, was neces- sary to_give more than a dozen of the 39 Presbyterian Churches of the local district an opportunity to get their solicitation for the fund under way. Because of numerous individual church appeals now being made the retirement budget campaign had to be delayed in numbers of the churches. Most of the churches, however, now have organized teams, and will launch a concerted effort today with determi- nation to bring the total pledges here to $135,000 by next week. The drive is to open today at the Church of the Covenant, _Arlington Presbyterian Church and others-in outlying sec- tions. : $20,000 Already Raised. At the report meeting Friday night a total of aproximately $20,000 was reported raised, doubling the amount announced at the first report meeting ifonday. Presbyterian laymen and“clergymen of Washington will be given an op- portunity Wednesday evening to greet the moderator of the church when Rev. Dr. W. O. Thompson, the new national church head, will be honor guest at a soclal gathering to be held under the auspices of the Presbyterian Alliance at Rauschers’. — Arrange- ments are being perfected by Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor emeritus of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, who is president of the al- liance, and Rev. Dr. John C. Palmer of the Washington Heights Presby- terian Church, chairman of the recep- tion committee.
