Socialized Church Held Key to Social Problem 9 ——— Fern’s Case Furnishes Concrete Example in Support of Stelzle’s Doctrine .
By LACREL C. THAYER. City Court Probation Officer. “Can you Imagine what would happen if you were to walk down the aisle of your church some morning with a woman considered not quite respectable?” This question was asked in a young women’s Sunday school class last Sunday by a teacher who, although a mere lawyer, somehow has caught the vision of a socialized church. “I see some of you smile at the very thought.” he continued. “You know that you would be very severely criticised. If you have any doubts, try it.” Why? Because the Idea has taken root that the church Is intended to save somebody from something; that it is a place lor the good to gather once or twice a week. PASSES BY ON OTHER SIDE. “It naturally follows, then, that though one’s motive be only helpfulness to the social outcast, that motive very likely Is to be misunderstood. So, the church, as well as the individual, passes by on the other side. “Why, class, do you know that there Is on our statute books a law making It a crime for a persons to be seen walking with, talking to or associating with a woman with a questionable past?” A feminine voice from the rear had Ohio Speaker Here jKMPFvg ■ ?,• DR. E W, HUF.LBTER. Among the speakers at the State conference of Near East relief workers at the Y. W. C. A. today was Dr. E. W. Huelster, director of the Ohio division of the relief organization, who has just returned from the poverty-stricked territory.

i the effect of an electric Si.-'-k when it sang out : “It would be a terrible state of affairs if that were turned around to apply to men. What if women were not allowed to talk with men with a past ? I guess there wouldn't be much conversation.” The laugh that followed scored a hit ' for the wag of the class, a middle-aged, unmarried woman.* “No class, that W not Christ's Idea of a church. Ills church is all inclusive, a great human brotherhood.” OUGHT TO WELCOME ALL. “The Master,” continued the teacher, “associated with all people, the good, bad and Indifferent. He said He came to save the lost. Ills church ought to havq a welcome to all people, especially the ’lost.' If it was His mission to save them, then it is the mission of His church to do so. "Love and fellowship are the only means of doing this. The church should not, therefore, try to ostracize any one. It must reach all. Its failure to do so i but a proof of Us inefficiency. Those In our churches now who cannot or will not recognize fellowship with the ’lost,' would have belonged to the Pharisees lti '0 years ago, and the Savior's denunciations would have been against their misconduct. “The Savior’s church, if we may call nis helpers such, was not ‘respectable.’ There were no ‘upper’ or ‘lower’ classes with Him. They were all brothers and sisters of the same Father.” RECALLS ANXIOUS MOTHER’S VOICE. All this come home with strong significance to one member of the class. She thought of the anxious mother whose ■voice was saying iu the phone that came to the office of the police station: “Do you know where my daughter Is? She did not come home last night,” This voice had called police headquarters early and late with the same question. It was the voice of a mother whose Indulgence had been rewarded by the Indifference, disobedience, ingratitude of a runaway daughter. Yes. they knew at "headquarters” where Fern was living. They remembered the day three girls But in city court at tbe right of the judge’s bench, fines suspended, so that tbe girls Immediately could become patients of the board of health at the city hospital. They had bee n taken in a raid on a rooming honse known at police station os the prize for midnight raiding parties Here Fern and her girl friends had rented a two-room furnished apartment. MANY OTHERS LEAD SIMILAR LIVES. There were many other young girls similarly independent lives. And they could be “Independent" because no set of rules In the front hall intruded upon their personal liberty. The only requirement of the colored janitor was that they pay him the rent promptly. He lived In the back yard, and to his shack It was necessary to go when clean linen was needed. Easy familiarity characterized the conversation when the girl-tenants gathered there on wirrlous errands. No rent collector ever bothered; no elderly woman kept an eye on tenants; no one complained of late hours and noisy gatherings In the rooms. Visitors came and went at will. It was, ail delightfully Bohemian. The word "home" ms a bitter mockery. You are thinking, perhaps, that this "joint"—pardon the word —opened on na alley, or that it was over a saloon or in a down-town block, jLARGE CHURCH ACROSS ALLEY. It was—and Is—across the alley from lone of our largest down-town churches If children played tennis In this church-

yard, they might have to scamper often to the roof of the colored janitor's shack after their ball. This church bell wakened each Sunday its neighboring Saturday night revellers who would have taken your invitation to attend church as a Joke. There were good souls who worshipped in that church. No cry for help during the war went unheeded; no drive for funds was neglected. How could they know that Fern and her girl friends needed them? By what magic could they learn that one of Fern’s friends had turned away from the train shed at the Union Station broken-hearted j that summer day when she said goodI bye to her soldier-husband sent to work ,ln the lumber camps of Oregon; or that Fern's other frleud had entrusted her ! youthful heart to one who had “followed the call of the wild” and left her. a broken blossom, in a world whose smiles are all for flowers In their pristine beauty and innocence? On one side of a city alley, church bells and fervent prayer; on the other side, lontliness, despair and the frenzied quest for happiness. WORK CURE FOR SOCIAL PROBLEMS. ! There were happier days for our three j girls. Dismissed from the city hospital, with health, and anew vision of respected womanhood, they found work in a factory when the war demanded women workers. 1 saw them one evening as they came | home, all three dressed In the khaki ; suits of the industrial war worker. 1 Greasy and dlrt-stalned were their : clothes, and their faces were Innocent of the erstwhile services of the powder puff, but a light was In their eyes that “never was on land or sea.” They were working for their dally bread, and they were happy. “How about your friends, girls, the friends who used to mak It difficult for you to do right?” they v.-ere asked. Three joyous smiling faces looked into mine, and a chorus of voices said. “Oh. we are too tired when we come home from work to see any 9ompany. We eat our suppers and go to sleep so we can pile out at six t an next morning.” Blessed work was the cure. The war has thrown light upon the problem of the wayward girl. Just as It did upon other social problems. It was a revelation of the effect of economic conditions upon womanhood, which was as startling to social workers iu the courts as It was to philanthropists in general. DISCUSSES NEW BASIS OF CIVILIZATION. A writer in the • current Atlantic Monthly in an article called “Philanthropic Doubts,” has pointed this out in the following: “The status of the ilhllanthroples during the war was a revolution like that made by a dazzling atreak of lightning. During those momentous years there were high wages, prohibition and plenty

of work for every one. The demands on the charitable societies dropped 50 per cent and more. The poor and the sick seemed to be no more with us. The Question forced itself upon us, ‘ls It possible that the philanthropies havo been on the wroDg tack, that fair wages and decent living conditions are the basis of a sound civilization, and that the philanthropists are but poulticing a surface sore?’ * * * * * “Anew orientation has, however, taken place In the public mind toward the philanthropist as the sensitive register of human suffering, and the chief guide to the alleviation of human misery. We are beginning to recognize that the same passion for humanity that inspires one man to lavish money on baby welfare, rescue homes for girls, and Christmas dinners for the poor.’ makes anoticr man a radical. The impulses In both cases are the same, but the second man is trying to think more fundamentally than the first. His methods may be clumsy and his suggested solution crude, but his ahn Is to remove the causes of human despair, not to risk the loss of precious time by attempting to modify their tragic consequences. We must turn to philantroplsts for methods, the fruit of long and careful experiment; but as yet they have offered us no fundamental basis for the work of human improvement. It is not through their eyes that we shall see life steadily and see it whole.” PALLIATIVE AND SURGEON’S KNIFE. May we not say. then, that philanthropies and the church, in the main, are alike in that they are applying to our social Ills palliatives rather than the surgeon’s knife? Small wonder that the chnrch today stands aghast as It faces the problem of how to reach the masses. Were we able to understand why the church across the alley was non-existent to three city court girls, we might understand what Charles Stelzle, social secretary of the Presbyterian Churches of America, meant when ho said: “The church must either become socialized or die.” Will there always be man-made barriers between the church and tbo soulstek woman who needs her ministration? Was the lawyer-Sundav school teacher wrong when he said that the church Is for good and bad alike; for the good because they aspire to holy living, for the bad because they need association with the good; but that it must be an association of democracy because both are equally the children of God?

HOME ECONOMICS NEW ADDITION TO BANKING SERVICE Fletcher Savings and Trust Cos. Employs Woman to Help With Family Budget. MISS ELIZABETH L. COWAN. Anew banking service, the first of its kind to be offered tbe Indianapolis and iDdiana public, was announced today by the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company. A home economics bureau, from which all types of Information relative to the family budget will be available, has been established, under the direction of Sliss Elizabeth L. Cowan, feimerly head of the home economics department of Evansville College. The new bureau will deal with the financial problems of the home and will operate directly In cooperation wltt individual women of the city or such civic and other organizations as avail themselves of Its facilities. Evans Woollen, president of the trust company, said the company had determined to establish the new service for women In the home, “since women spend 90 per cent of all the money earned.” “We have felt it would be helpful to the home-makers of this city and State
to have available a banking service that would stand ready to answer every possible financial question that might arise in any home relating to the family budget,” Mr. Woollen said. “We studied similar facilities offered by larger banks and trust companies than our own in other States and then set out to fiud the proper expert to head such a bureau. We think we have her in Miss Cowan, who will, we feel, become an understanding partner for every Indianapolis and Indiana woman In their problems of everyday living. She Is to be available for individual conferences, and for discussions, both of a public and private nature, of all the home subjects that revolve about the family budget.” Cooperation between the bureau and various city and State women’s organizations and other agencies interested in tbe subject of home economics already has been put in motion by the trust company Miss Cowan is appearing before teachers' organizations, women's clubs, church societies and various other groups of homemakers. She is to give the first, of a series of demonstrations, aimed to exemplify more frugal methods of living, at the Rural street branch of the trust company, East Washington and Rural streets, Thursday. At this demonstration Miss will construct a home-made tireless cooker, designed to lower fuel and food bills in the average home. WIDE EXPERIENCE IN HOME ECONOMICS. Miss Cowan has had unusually wide experience and training in the home economic field. Before any of the Indiana colleges were teaching the subject she was taking the home economics courses at Drexel Institute in Philadelphia. Since that time she has amplified her training with work at Purdue and Indiana Universities, the Milwaukee Trade School for Girls, Cornell Uni vet sit y and the Teachers’ College of Columbia University In practical expert-nee Miss Cowan's more r cent years have been comprehensive. For three years she was dietitian in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, one of the largest hospitals in Canada. Then she became a teacher in the normal department of Drexel Institute and later returned to her home town —Crawfordsville, Ind„ to establish courses there In home economics. At the beginning of the war Miss Cowan was appointed Urban Stale leader of home demonstration agents, under the Federal Department of Agriculture, cooperating with the extension division of Purdua University, and since the war

A man giving his name as Clinton Stacy, “city,” was convicted of operating a blind tiger and fined SSO and costs in city court. Stacy was arrested in the rear of a South Illinois street hotel when the police surprised him and another man who had a gallon jug of wine. The other man was a faster runner than either Stacy or the police and escaped. ._ . -.Mt? BEAUTY SPECIALIST TELLS SECRET A Beauty Specialist Gives HomeMade Recipe to Darken Gray Hair. Mrs. M. D. Oillespie. a well known beauty specialist of Kansas City, recently gave out the following statement regarding gray hair: “Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and y* ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be purchased at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and will not rub off.” —Advertisement.
