‘HELP US OUT' IS Luncheon Clubs Call on Crifics | ether tindauit of sermm win v ) lor Aid lucr;nenlo, Cal, Aug. 18.—(UP), —H € "Mencken, Sinclair Lewis and George Jean Nathan, bitter foes of luncheon clubs, today invited to sug- .em.,('a constructive program for the J:te invitation was extended by Ray L. Riley, California state comp- troller, and first international vice Ppresident of the Lions club. “Mencken, Lewis and Nathan ,could be very helpful if they would {direct their undoubted brilliance and ability as writers rather than a de- structive ériticism,” Riley said. “I would ask these gentlemen what they would do with the 400,000 business men who belong to these service and luncheon organizations. They are harnessed and ready to go full speed ahead on any constructive work.” The type of man who is a mem- ber of the luncheon clubs is usually the successtul man in his own field and a leader in his own line of ac- tivity, Riley says, and it is one of the chief purposes of these clubs to stir interest among themselves in flelds other than their own. “The poor type of publicity the service clubs receive is doing them a great injustice. It is such asinine statements as “Jesus Christ was the first Rotarian” that gets the nation- wide publicity and provides Mencken, Nathan and Lewis with salvos for their broadsides. Riley say: e has read and en- joyed-Lewis’ “Babbit,” a satire on the American bsuiness man, and re- alizes that there is just such a type as George Babbitt. “We 'must realize that a great deal of the criticism directed at the luncheon club movement is de- served ‘for the reason that, superfi- cially, at least, we have never ex- hibited any evidence of having a serious purpose behind our meet- ings. “"*“The average business man—and this includes Rotarians, Kiwanians, Lions—lets the other fellow do his thinking for him in fields other than his own, such as civics and politics.” Novena to St. Therese At Sacred Heart Church A novena to St. Theresa will be held at Sacred Heart church begin- ning August 24 to September 1 in- clusive.

MYSTERY STIL SHROUDS NURDER Killing of General Chang Not Explained Tokyo, Aug. 18 (UP)—Although nearly two months have passed since Generalissimo Chang Tso-lin was killed in a bomb explosion which wrecked the train on which he was fleeing back to Mukden from Peking, the affair still remains a mystery so far as the public is concerned. Repeated efforts to find out the re- sult of the official investigation inst1- tuted jointly by the Chinese and tue Japanese have met wwith failure. The United Press has checked every available source in Tokyo in an ef- fort to get answers to these ques- tions: 1.—Who was responsible for tme fatal explosion which resulted in the sheng, the governor of Heilungkian- Province, and many of Chang's as- sociates, and what was the motive for the assassinations? 2.—What kind of an explosive was used and how was it touched oy with such deadly effectiveness? These questions were submitted to high officials in the ministry of war here, and while no official re- ply was given it may be said tne following represents the best infor- mation that can be obtained at th.s time.
