Professor Knows Friends Are Honest, but Isn’t Taking Any Chances. Westfield, Mass.—Twenty quarts of bottled-ln-hmid whisky, owned by Prof. Lewis B. Allyn. the noted pure food expert. Inis been kept iu Ills safe since Jan. 16. “I know my friends are holiest,’' he says, "but I am taking no chances.” The whisky is required from time to time In the professor’s research and experimental work, and he laid In a liberal supply before constitutional prohibition went Into effect. Prof. Allyn is working overtime trying to keep pace with the demand for ami lysis of home-made beverages. One small bottle of home-made wine, which the owner assured him possessed a real kick, proved to he 28 per cent alcohol, or from two to three times the alcoholic content of wines formerly offered for sale. Ethyl alcohol may have been added to the concoction, Prof. Allyn thinks. At any rate, it Is the most remarkable of the hundreds of “harmless home-made drinks” he has yet analyzed.

Will Recognize Them Only When They Quit Germany—In Danger of Becoming Destitute—$15,000 a Year Involved. New York.—Congress, through the passage of a special act. will shortly he asked to restore to citizenship the Baroness Augusta Louise de Haven-Alien, the former Miss de Haven of New York, who In 188.'! married the Baron Kherliard von Alien, a Oeitnan officer. Caught in Budapest when the revolution broke out In February of last year, the baroness, who Is now known as Mrs. Louise de Haven, was forced lo flee to Vienna as a German refugee, and after many vicissitudes reached Switzerland practically destitute. On money harrowed from a professor In Geneva, a childhood friend, she reached New York several weeks ago. The question of the restoration of Mrs. de Haven to citizenship was taken up by the house committee on Immigration and naturalization and she recently appeared before the committee and told her life story. Under German law her personal property has passed Into the custbdy of her husband and her Interests in a trust fund created by her grandmother, who was the widow of Admiral Abraham Bigelow, T\ S. N.. was seized by the enemy alien property custodian. Her attor ney. Walter Bruce Howe of Washington. told the committee that Mrs. de Haven was "inevitably and rapidly ap pronohlng destitution." When very young .Mrs. de Haven went with her father to live In Switzerland and was bsought up near Geneva. On her nineteenth birthday she married Huron von Alien and went to live in Germany. She had two daughters. who are now married and living In that country. “My married life was not happy,’’ Mrs. de Haven told the committee. In 1910 she entered into a formal separation agreement with her husband. In '1911. she said, she left Germany and has never seen her husband since. Her Funds Here Seized. Two years later she again brought suit. This time she charged her husband with misconduct. The war sus pended all proceedings, for the law would not allow litigation against an officer on active duty. Mrs. de Haven’s interest in the trusl fund of her grandmother. Mrs. Louise Bigelow, was $15,000 a year, and this amount was paid by the Northern Trust company of Chicago until the alien property custodian took ehnrgi of the funds. “About February, 1919. rlot« and revolution broke nut in Budapest.” Mrs de Haven told Hie committee. “<>n tin day of the outbreak an immense mob was resisted by the police near the ho tel where I was. After the conflict some 30 dead and many wounded lay In the street near my hotel. The dead were brought Into tin* corridor of the hotel and then tin* inoh came in and seized everything in the dining room that could he eaten or drunk. The dis turhunce lasted all night. “In this situation I decided to accept a German passport. I did not go my sidf lo the German authorities to u'b for It, hut I sent n friend who obtained It for me. Arrangements were made for a train to take the German refu gees hack to Germany. Borrov/ed From Dressmaker. “The train took 24 hours to reach a point on the outskirts of Vienna. Tin Germans went on toward Germany. I got off In the railroad yard. All I had with me was two small handlings. I had nothing to eat or drink on the train." Because they sided with Germany ;n the war Mrs. de Haven said she broke off relations with her children. Slu ndded in her declaration that slowouhl recognize them only when they enme to this country and became citizens. "it Is certain.” she continued, “that unless relief by special net of congress in restoring me to citizenship is speed lly afforded I shall he penniless and in dire want before I can regain my citizenship through the operation of the suit for divorce, (if the borrowed money, *4,<KI0. I brought with me to this country, only about .j^o(»i is now left." Representative Isaac Rlerel questioned Mrs. de Haven regarding her use of a passport ns a German subject when traveling out of Austria. The use of a German passport, she said, was against all tier Instincts, hut there was no other wey for her to get out of Budapest. She used such a passport, she said, on tin* advice of Colonel Yates. “My only wish Is to become an American, to live over here. and. if possible, to have money to live on. I inn not well enoisgh to go to work. That Is all I wish. I do not care whether I get my German money or not. All I wish In to become an American, a good American." j

As a solution of the problem of the pastorless churches In the North Woo ls of Maine, Baptists have ordained two women ministers, and they are now serving In the pulpit of the picturesque little church at Jay, Maine. While oilier women evangelists are "helping out" at churches where ministers with large families have not been able to meet the rising cost on an average salary of $1.87 a day, Miss Alice M. Whittier and Miss Ella J. Nash, so far as known, are the only Baptist feminine clergymen In the whole of New England. They were ordained In 1917, when the war was making a heavy demand on the man power of Maine. Their first assignment was to the church at Jay, one of the oldest of the state, having a history that dates back 110 years, when the congregation met In a log house. As a rule Miss Whittier lakes the morning service and Miss Nash has charge of the evening meeting. Both were graduated from the Gordon Bible College in Boston, and both worked for a number of years afterward under the direction of the American Baptist Missionary Society. They have served the out of the way settlements in the far north Aroostook County and other sections of Maine, where the people depend on the colporteur for tlw-ir gospel teaching. They have filled two pastorates of five year*’ each, one at Owl’s Head and the other at Jay, where they are at present stationed. Will the woman pastor solr* the problem of the shortage of ministers? Miss Whittier says slu- will. A woman gifted with the power of oratory, trained In a high class theological InVACATION SCHOOLS HELP CHURCH AMERICANIZATION

stltutlon, and willing to make the combined sacrifices of not only a preacher’s* wife, but a preacher himself, should be allowed to till a pulpit, she

declares.

According to Miss Whittier, thi woman preacher has come to stay. It Is her opinion that very soon a large percentage of clergymen of all Protestant denominations will he women. The Baptists and the OongregationalIsts are among the first denominations to admit women to the miulstry. “Will women pastors be content to work on salaries that average less than

This is the highest honor ever accorded an American Jew. It was given to Mr. Warburg by a delegation of nibbts from the First Hungarian congregation, Ohnb Zedek. The degree dates back to Talmudic

$700 a year, as men preachers have | times. It was given the hanker and

been doing for years?" is another ques-

tion Miss Whittier answered. She said they decidedly would not. "All over the country," she said,

“people are realizing more and more the injustice that has been done to the ministers. The time lias come, I believe, when pastors are to receive their Just due. The country pastor's salary should not merely he raised—it should be doubled. He receives less than an ordinary day laborer^ and depends to an humiliating extent upon the charity of his congregation. No, women who enter the ministry will not be so pa tlent, Pm sure. Conditions In America today do not warrant the practice of

such self-denial.”

Miss Whittier Is one of the leaders In Maine of the New World Movement of Northern Baptists. That state has been asked to raise a quota of $2,050,000. The amount didn’t stagger the

pastor of Jay.

“Will your congregation be able to come across with their apportion ment?” she was asked “Certainly, Uteres no doubt about

It," she said.

During late sprln~ blizzards Instructors were being trained to meet problems of the hundreds of dully vacation Bible schools conducted by the New World Movement of Northern Baptists.

The men sprang for the doorway, with the girl giving chase, screaming at the top of her voice. She caught the man with the hank, meantime lighting off his companion, who was endeavoring to stifle her screams, and finally was knocked tin conscious with a blow on the forehead with her own hank.

FEAOHES BOYS TO Mi STEAMERS Baptist IVtissionary in Burma Develops Unique Industry—Government Helps in Education. “On the road to Mandalay, where the old flotilla lay," steam launches built by the Burmese boys e f „ Mission school are now making frequent trips and the profits from their sale to the natives ore helping in the establishment of practical Industrial education In that country. The Rev. Dr. C. A. Nichols is. the man flint Is directly responsible f, )r this Industrial development In f ar . off Burma, on the actual soil of old England, even though as Kipling saw "there ain’t no buses runnln’ from the hank to Mandalay,” he secured a saw mill. It was In Bnsseln. one of the town* grouped about the numerous months of the Irawaddy, that the enterprise was begun. The Irawaddy Is the very river upon which Mr.ndalav is tmllt lun) up which "the old flotilla’ made Its way from Rangoon. Rev. Dr. Niohols went to work as a Baptist missionary among the Sgaw Karens, one of ihe forty races In cosmopolitan Burma conducting a missionary school along the standard lines. One day a British commissioner visRing the school asked why the hoys were not taught a trade. Dr. Nichols made the time-honored missionary eicuse, lack of funds to purchase equi|s ment. The commissioner, however, was so well Impressed with the progress that the hoys were making in their studies that he undertook to put a dozen of them In the government railway shops to study as machinists. Here the hoys spent five years learning their trade and during that apprenticeship retained their membership In the mission chutch. This was the first step in the development of the Industrial education Idea. The next was the purchase of the sawmill. Incidentally the Northern Baptist Convention has grasped the significance of Dr. Nichols’ idea, and In Its New World Movement program Includes n project “to establish u trade school al Moulmeln and Introduce education in ihe Industrial arts, fur indusDial Independence will make fur the strength of Christian society Iu India as Iu America."
