TALY FAGES NAVAL BULDING BURDEN Race With France, if It Be- gins, Will Cost Rome Big Outlay. BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN. By Radio to The Star. ROME, Italy, September 30.—The! launching at Taranto of the 810-ton sub- marine Luigi Settembrini, appropriated Yor in the 1927-28 naval program, again brings into the limelight Italy’s naval| building program and the Franco-Ital- far naval race which seems bound to get under steam in January, Old Permit Better Than None At All. Judge Hitt Agrees An old driver’s permit, although it may have been iss 13 years ago, is better than no permit, thought William Miller, colored, and Judge Isaac R. Hitt agreed with him. Miller was arrested Sunday night for several violations of the law. Yesterday in Police Court Miller pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving without a permit. “But I have a permit,” Miller protested to Judge Hitt after the policeman had stated the charges. “Is it up to date?” he was asked. “Well, not exactly,” answered Miller, “but still it's not so old. I got it in 1917.” He was fined $15 for “driving with an expired permit.” PHE CLOSELY RELATED Elwood Street, Speaking for Com- munity Chest, Urges Closer Co- operation for Public Service. Churches and charity must give each other closer co-operation if the prob- lems of life in modern communities are to be met, Elwood Street, director of the Community Chest, told the Minis- terial Union at a meeting yesterday in EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO IGHUHCH AND CHARITY the New York Avenue Presbyterian Chureh. Immorality, sordidness, ignorance, poverty, disease, vice and crime must be attacked by a united front of religious and social workers if the age-old en- emies of mankind are to be defeated, the speaker said. .He said the church and the social agency, after all, were merely two expressions of the same thing—love of God and love of God in man. Street contended social work needs the inspiration of religion and religion needs the skill and training which the modern social worker uses in handling the problems of the poor, the wayward and those without advantages. “Charity, of which social work as we know it is a modern expression,” he D Cy said, “has always been a religious activ- ity since the earliest time. With the di- vision of the church into various de- nominational and creedal bodies and the growing specialization of social work to meet the complex problems of mod- ern city life, religion as practiced through the churches and charity as practiced through the increasing va- riety of social workers at times seem to be working at cross purposes and with- out common understanding. “It is to remedy such a situation and to make possible the united action of | all forces concerned in the good of the | community t the Community Chest | has been organized in Washington. at through the Commu- TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, “We hope nity Chest the love of one's neighbor | as one’s self, which animates all reli- 1230. gion, may also animate all who work together in the name of charity; that through. all the skill, all the training and all the devotion which may be brought to bear upon the needs our city through these charitable organiza- tions, the spirit may be made effective, building for all of its people a finer, a happier and a more satisfactory com- munity.” - — Afrikaans Translate Bible.

Big Financial Burden. ‘The financial burden of initiating two in a single year is indicated the fact that the estimated cost of the 1930-31 program is $51,000,000, while, unless a compromise is reached, next year's program will certainly be much more.
