Baptist Women Come to Aid of the Foreign Born Mother

Alice W. S. Brimson of Chicago, executive secretary of the Christian Americanization department of the Woman’s American Baptist Home Mission Society, making new friends Chinese home in Chicago. The department has thirteen paid secretaries and 1.261 volunteer women working in 250 cities.

"My girl—she ‘shamed of me. I no talk good," waited ths little Italian mother. "Maybe If I had ‘Merlcan friend I learn good.” Do you know that there are a million and a half people In these United States of America, hidden away In our great foreign-speaking colonies, who can not speak the English language? Thii represents 11 per cent of the foreign born white population of the country, and In Arizona, where more than two thirds of the foreigners were born In Mexico, the percentage unable to speak English reaches as high as 51.9. It is figures like these that the Christian Americanization Department of the Woman's Baptist Home Mission Society is trying to change. In Indianapolis, where the work is Just being organized by the secretary for East Central District, Miss Gaye Harris, thirty-five homes have been found In Just the past two weeks in which Roumanian women, strangers in a strange land, have expressed themselves as anxious for an American friend. It is a never-falling sopre© of surprise to these new Americans that the American woman comes to her out the kindness of her heart, and because of a vital interest in her problems. Many are the attempts to force money on the volunteer who hap planned a simple supper for the family at home In order that she may give the afternoons to her foreign friend. Said an Austrian woman In Chicago, when told that the American friend came not for money, but for love. "Good America! Nobody comes to t®a<-h us in old country I” And another foreign woman, when her teacher refused the dollar bill offered her, said, “Yon take anyway. Y'ou give to the Lord. Y'ou kuow Him better than I do.” It is not all giving, for here, as elsewhere. the capacity for giving implies a eapaeity for receiving. Often the reward lies in an enlarged vision, anew sense

MRS. KATHERINE STOREY WESTFALL.

Mrs. Katherine Storey Westfall', executive secretary of tho Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society, is one of the widely known women in attendance at the convention. Mrs. Westfall, a native of Janesville, Wis., moved, while still a girl, to Chicago, where she became a member of the Second Baptist Church. Her first Interest in missionary enterprises began with visits to needy families, and through support by the Sunday school of a native Indian girl in a Baptist sCkool at Moulmein, Burma. After hei graduation, Mrs. Westfall spent four yertrs in the Chicago Art Institute. Her marriage followed her graduation from that school,"and during the years which followed she was active in all lines of church work. She was president of the Woman'i Missionary Society of her church and was an officer in the Sunday school, as well as being active la* civic and reform departments of seT-

of brotherhood, a deeper appreciation of one's owp blessings. And more than once the new American puts the native American to shame. Tears came Into the eyes of a Polish mother who was doing Red Cross work during the wur, as she saw the flag in the corner of tha room. An American woman near by asked her what the trouble was. The little foreign woman smiled through her tears and answered: "It’s that old flag. It means liberty and freedom to all the worTTl. You are an American because you were born so—but I am an American because I will to be.” WORKERS COME TO AID OF CHINESE FAMILY. Does It pay? The Chinese family whose picture appears here lived in a crowded flat In Chi-cago-nine of them, in all. They were utterly astonished five years ago when a Christian Americanization volunteer found them and volunteered to help them with English lessons. She had already found that there were twelve Baptist churches within two miles of them, and a number belonging to other demouinatlons—yet no memlrers of any of thorn had ever hunted up this paraticuiar family nor any other near them. Today the children are ali In Sunday schools and several of the family have Joined the church. Does It pay? A Syrian boy whose family was moving back to the old country affer the Americanization worker had visited* them only three or four times, said shyly. "I'm going to tel! all my friends in Syria about how good Americana are. And I'm going to take this (drawing a small pocket Testament from his trouser's pocket) back with me too.” - There are opportunities at our very door. Needs about even in Indianapolis, which prides itself on being a highly American community. In this city today there is a little foreign girl of 10 years, whose mother is dead, and

some celestial corner and knock a fender off the earth. For Mars will come within only 42,330,000 miles of the planot to which wo hold title, before he curves away again. If Mars were to hesitate at that 42.350.000 mile mark while you traveled from here to there on an airplane >loi:.g 200 miles an hour, he would have to wait twenty-four and one-half years for

eral of the leading clubß in tho city. In the latter connection, Mrs. Westfall was a leader In establishing one of the first girls’ lunch clubs of Chicago, the Noon Day Rest, with evening classes and a summer homo. This furnished an example for many similar clubs for working girls. In 1007 Mrs. Westfall became a member of the board of managers of the Women’s Home ■'Mission Society, two years later being made corresponding secretary. When the Women’s Baptist Home Mission Societies of Michigan and those with headquarters In Boston and Chicago were consolidated and the United National Woman’s American Baptist Home Mission Society became a cooperating society of the Northern Baptist Convention, Mrs. Westfall was brought into active leadership In various denominational and Interdenominational boards and committees and she now 19 executive secretary of this important woman's society.

Even the father realizes how fatal it would be for his little daughter to spend the long summer days and evenings when school is out among tha nun who frequent such a placet This child will go lonely and neglected through the coming months, unless some Christian home In Indianapolis opens Its doors to her and welcomes her In love. Much could be done toward her future development. She could be taught cooking, housekeeping aud music, for she is very gifted with the violin and only needs training along all these lines to become a useful and happy citizen. INVITATION EXTENDED FOR LOCAL WORK, A young Roumanian woman in this city expects soon to be married, when she can no longer attend school Vet her Interest in studying English has been aroused arid she would glaJly welcome a teacher. Opportunities like these surround yon. If you cannot eryss the ocean you can cross the street, the Baptist women claim The Americanization worker had been reading these lines from the Bible to an Italian family, "Let not your heart be troubled. In my Fathers house are many mansions.” The foreign woman nodded understanding and and murmured, "Big house—up stairs?" When the visitor started to leave, and refused first tnilk, which she knew the family was unable to afford, and then a nickel for car fare, explaining that she didn't need the money, the man of the family exclaimed—“l know, I know. You get your pay up stairs!" And the .secretaries and volunteers of the Americanization department, although they haven't yet sprouted wings in splto of their need of them in climbing endless flights of stairs in tenement districts, are glad to announce that they Jo got their pay “up sta'-x."

But ho couldn't got a rocket large enough. liowev a famous French medium, Mademoiselle Helene Smith, says sbo projected her soul to Mars. Thore she saw: ‘•Carriages without horses or wheels, emitting sparks as they glided by; houses with fountains on tho roofs; a cradle having for curtains an angel made of Iron with outstretched wings.” She alßo brought back tho latest fashion notes from the Martians: “Tho people,” she said, "were much like the Inhabitants of the earth, save that both sexes wore the same clothes trousers, very ample, and long blouses drawn tight about the waist and decorated with various desigus.” I heir language had a pleasant Intonation, according tp the mademoiselle. Four words that she 1 remembered when sho came down to earth were: Metlehe meaning Mr. Medache meaning Mrs. Metaaganlche meaning Miss. Kln't’che meaning four. But H. G. Wells evidently didn't think much of the psychic's description. In his "War of the Worlds” he said that tho Martians resembled cuttlefish with round gray bodies aud "sort of faces.” Edmond Terrier, a Burlsan scientist i constructed the most detailed picture of the inhabitants of our nearest planetary i neighbor. | "Dreams aro not a crime,” he said, “and In this case contradiction la difficult.” I Thu Martian, according to him, boro : some resemblanco to man, but ho had 1 Wemendous ears, a lu*o chest and thin legs, jvith scarcely any neck at all. In America the greuteßt exponent of tho theory that Mars is Inhabited was the late Prof. Ferclvul LoweU, director of the Harvard observatory at Flugstafi’ Arlz. * ’ Iho Martian folk,” ho wrote, “are possessed of inventions of which we have aever dreamed. With them the electrophone and kinetoseope aro things of tho bygone past, preserved with veneration in museums as relics of tho clumsy contrivances of the simple childhood of the race.’* But other scientists disagree. They think there is nothing but a very little water and a thin layer of air on the planet. “Thero has been absolutely no determination of life on Mars,” says Dr. C. S. Bruinin of Columbia University. But Prof. William H, Pickering of Harvard says that the weather there is fine— Especially during the summer. Soloist Will Appear at Russell Memorial George W.

The cor porafion counsel knows the law, Just ns (he utility lawyers do. but we ought to furnish him with the assistance of accountants and engineers who know the ins and outs of the utility business, Jast as the utility lawyers are assisted.”

Bill in Congress to Help Lumberman Regain Fine H. R~7348. LN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Jcwi 23, 192 L Mr Graham of Pennsylvania introduced the following bill . which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and ordered to be printed. A BILL For tbe relief of the Metropolitan Lumber Company! 1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Reprcsenta--2 lives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 3 That the President of the United States be. and he is hereby, 4 authorized to remit, in whole or in part, the fine of 135.000 5 imposed upon the Metropolitan Lumber Company Septem--6 her 8. 1010, by the United States District Court for the 7 District of New Jersey, which fine has been paid by the said 8 company and covered into the Treasury qf the United States: 0 Provided, Tlmt. in his judgment, the facts in the case justify JO such remission.)

RT C. C. LYONS, WASHINGTON, June 17.—There’s n little bill, known as "H. R. 7348,” pending before Congress authorizing {’resident Harding to remit a fine of $33,000 that Federal Judge Thomas H. Hauight of New Jersey Imposed on the Metropolitan Lumber Company of Newark, N. J., on Sept. 8. 1019. for violating wartime shipping regulations. The Metropolitan Lumber Company is, to all intents and purposes, Jacob Jacobson of Newni*k, Its president, secretary and treasurer. Jacobson and bis company were jointly indicted by the Federal Grand Jury, but the indictments against Jacobson were dismissed when he walked Into court and paid the $35,000 fine for his company. Jacobson has been tireless in h!s efforts to get that $35,000 back. Ills “relief'’ bill was not Introduced by any member of the New Jersey delegation, but by Representative George S. Graham of Fennsylvanla. Jacobson's argument for his bill is unique. “The war Is over,” ho Says. “Why not forget wartime antimosltles ?

violation of tho Elkins law was used for war purposes.” Tho grand Jury indictment, on which Jacobson entered a plea of guilty for his company and paid tho $35,000 flue, con- ; sisted of fifteen counts. It charged that for some months, following January, 1918, the company bought lumber in Florida, Vlrglnln, Nortn Carolina and other Southern States and billed it to various Army officers in charge of Now Jersey Army camps with Instructions that It be turned over to the Metropolitan Lumber Company. On securing possession of the lumber 1 in New Jersey, through this device, tho j company, in turn, sold it at high prices to ! contractors. On this point, tho indictment reads: ! “Said defendants caused said railroad (Pennsylvania) to believe that said lumber was war material and war supplies and that, therefore, Its transportation was not prohibited, although the defend- j ants then well knew that said lumber was not war material but for the private use and purposes of the Metropolitan Lumber ; Company.” “H. R. 7348” is only one of a number | of similar measures that are beginning to j bob up in Congress.

DEMOCRATS TO KEEP PLACES, SAYS HARDING President Refuses G. O. P. Petition to Fire Partisans. WASHINGTON, June 17—President Harding will not accede to the petitioa of more than 100 Republican members of Congress that about 150_ alleged Democrats be ousted from the Treasury Department, it was learned authoritatively today, f The President shares the view of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon that most of the Treasury employes listed on the Republican congressional “black list” as Democrats are persons of long experience In the important work of adminis-, tering Government finances and there has been no evidence of Democratic activities on their part. The President’s action has staved off a crisis in his Cabinet. It was known Mellon was so strongly opposed to the petition that should its .demands have been upheld by the President his resignation and that of Internal Revenue Collector Blaire were almost certain. Harding believes politics should not be allowed to interfere with the work of tha department. Unger-Secretary of the Treasury Gilbert, one of the men on the “political blacklist,” today wrote a letter to Representative Begg, Ohio, one of the’sponsors of the petition, denying the charges of activity in the Cox campaign and stating he had always been a Republican.

G. 0. P. LEADERS CALL MEETING TO FILL PLACES Committee Has Two Vacancies —W. C. Bobbs Mentioned for Treasurer. A meeting of the Republican State com-, mittee has been called for next Thursday by Secretary Frederick E. Schortemeiap when it is expected two vacancies on the committee will be filled. Mr. Schortemeier received word from the State chairman, Lawrence Lyons, who is in Washington attending a conference of Republican leaders, to send out notices of the meeting. A wiee chairman was not named by the committee when it reorganized because of a proposal to change the rules and select three, on® of whom should be a woman. It is understood this proposal was discussed during the parleys held by Chairman Lyons, Senator Watson, and others In 'Washington. The position of treasurer also Is to be filled. Only one name has been mentioned frequently In connection with this office, that of William C. Bobbs. Mr. Bobbs was one of the strongest supporters of Albert J. Beveridge In the primary campaign and hlB selection has been urged to give Beveridge supporters representation on the committee. He, however, has declined the tender and the State committee is now casting about for another prominent Beveridge man.
