AMERICA MUST SAVE HOSPITALS

HOOVER MAKES* PLEA FOR FAMINE DISTRICTS OF CENTRAL EUROPE. Caleb S. Denny, chairman of the Indiana branch of the European Relief Council, has received word from Herbert Hoover of the impending closing of 17,000 canteens and hospitals in the famine districts of central Europe and the turning into the streets of 3,500,000 children who are now being fed by American charity. “Unless aid comes from America before January,” writes Mr. Hoover, “we shall be compelled to close these canteens, with the inevitable starvation of all these millions of helpless babies. Funds are now exhausted, and in order to carry on the work uptil the next harvest, $33,000,000 must be raised to send food to the children. No part of the money will be used for adult relief—every dollar given means a dollar’s worth of food on the other side, as this is a charity with practically no overhead.” Holiday Appeal. In order to raise Indiana’s share of the collection, a holiday appeal will be made'under the direction of Caleb S. Denny, state chairman, and Warren T. McCray, Governor-elect. One child can be fed for $lO until harvest, when, Mr. Hoover belieyes the governments of Europe can support their own and' the Americans definitely withdraw. All collections made in Indiana churches Sunday, when' there will be a special appeal for the children, will go to swell the Hoover fund. Co-Operation of Churches. Many of the Protestant churches have been engaged for some time feeding the children of Europe, but according to advices from Mr. Hoover all Protestant church funds will be co-ordinated with the council’s work in order to promote economic distribution. Mr. Hoover’s telegram to this effect sets at rest any doubt as to the co-operation of the Protestant churches. Mrs; Anne Studebaker Carlisle, of South Bend, has accepted the chairmanship of the Thirteenth Indiana district. The count/ chairmen assisting her are: Mrs. Thad Talcott, Jr., South Bend; Mrs. John . Winn, LaPorte; Mrs. E. N. Cook, Plymouth; Mrs. Perry Heath, Rochester; Mrs. J. L. Moorman, Knox; Mrs. Erwin Cook, Warsaw; Mrs. J. A. S. Smith, Goshen. In answer to the following telegram, L. H.

LOCALS WON TAME GAME AT REMINGTON FRIDAY

Playing on a pill box floor which nullified all attempts at team play' and made it almost impossible for the offensive men to elude their guards, the Rensselaer high school basketball team pushed. the Remington team out of their path and pulled in a victory by the narrowest of margins ,12 to 11. The game was tame and uninteresting throughout, the small floor being responsible for the lack of brilliant play. The first canto closed witn Rensselaer leading 6 to 1, Collins, Tilton and Arnott netting the ball once each, while Remington’s lone point came from Howard’s free toss. Shortly after the second half got under way, Harmon and Larsh, first string men, were injected into the lineup and the latter quickly took Rensselaer out of the danger zone with two field goals after Remington had caged the ball twice in rapid succession. With the score resting at 12 to 9 in Rensselaer’s 1 favor, Remington manufactured another field goal. The whistle sounded a few seconds later, however, leaving Rensselaer on the long end, the ball being dent through the net by a Remington marksman only the fraction of a second after the final whistle.
