NEW YORK GAMINS ENJOY THE FACILITIES OF CLUB FOR DRIVE , . (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. -17. For ten

cents a year and yp, 7,000 boys of Nw York's East Side enjoy all the fun faculties that a seven, story club Louse can provide. They are members of The Boys Club. It Is the Jargest organization of its type in the world, devoted solely to furnishing wholesome recreation to the youths of the congested tenement district, which surrounds it.

gamins how to be happy though clean, by providing a big swimming pool. Fringed around it are gymnasium game rooms, billiard parlors, and above, six more floors devoted to club rooms and other amusement areas. .. Within the Boys Club itself ihere are 80 separate clubs, each with adults as leaders. Two-thirds of these leaders were army officers during the war. Lunch Room Popular. Dividing popularity honors with the swimming pool is a lunch room, where a cup of cocoa sells for a penny and rookies Jo go with it for a similar sum. Pretzel peddlars and hand-organ virtuosos steer clear of the neighborhood of the club, for the boys have their own eats and own music making Instruments. ; In the daytime there frequently are , f.nly a few hundred youngsters within ;the clubhouse and comparatively quiet ; exists. But after the schools release their pupils and the working boys finish the day's business duties, the roof has a hard time staying on. There are fewer "don'ts" and fewer "must do's" in the club, and each member enjoys himself as he" is ryront. Those desiring- to "shoot a rame" of pool do so, and those with penchants for painting, dab the can--rass to their heart's content. Several -of the boys tudy in the National Academy of Design and one of the ,,'T'ortraits banging in the Metropolitan Museum of Art was done by a member " of the club. One evening each week each of two hundred men of the city make themreives boys again just for the night. They are the leaders of the various subsidiary clubs and organizations.

Paul Furnas Testifies Before i Board Probing Irish Status

A report on conditions in Ireland made by a committee of three appointed by the British branch of the Society of Friends was presented to the unofficial American commission of inquiry in New York yesterday by Paul J. Furnas, an American Friend, a graduate of Earlham college and well known here. His father was superintendent of Earlham Hall for a number1 of years. The three Friends visited Belfast Lisburn, Limerick, Cork, and other disturbed districts, including towns raided and villages wrecked in retaliation for the murder of policemen and witnessed the funeral processions of two of the Irish constabulary and one victim of a raid in reprisal. "As friends," their report said, "we must deplore the violence and the bloodshed on both sides that takes

place in such a stale of war. As English citizens we must surely chiefly feel the shame of the direct responsibilty of our government for the policy of reprisals by the so-called 'black and tans' led by their officers, during which

town after town is being ravaged and burned and women and children are driven terror Btricken into the fields and woods to seek safety at night." They reported that the British government had ceased to function, over about 80 per cent of Ireland where the people willingly or unwillingly were being governed by the Irish republic. "The constitutional home rule or nationalist party," it was stated, "has entirely disappeared. Disillusioned by the repeated non-fulfillment of promises from England, it-has moved boldly over to Sinn "Fein."' Although the republican leaders are "irreconcilable," the mission .stated

COSMOPOLITAN ROLL BOOSTS COLLEGE RANK

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Dec. 17 The name of the Syrian ProteBtant college at Beirut, Syria, which Is financed and conducted by ; Americans, has been changed to the American University of Beirut, under a new charter granted by the educational authorities of New York state. The reason for this as given by Albert W. Staub, executive secretary of the institution is: "Our student roll, with 16 races represented, . shows that the college is no longer 'Syrian', its non-sectarian character makes the term 'Protestant' a misnomer and the scope and variety of instruction has outgrown the original designation of 'college'." The American University of Beirut already has the following departments: arts and science, commerce, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and nurse's training.
