important work and volunteered to feed the starving with food, which has

been sent over to Ohina from this country. ? The Chinese, especially the 45,000,000 famine sufferers, feel very grateful to America, who has long been China's friend. "The American Red Cross is building a $1,000,000 road in Shantung Province, China. The road is over 500 miles long, and will be a permanent monument to f American charity. "The relief has been carried on successfully by the American Red Cross, the Christian Herald and by the International Relief organization, headed by the American minister to China, and " by the. Chinese relief organizationsr, and millions of live3 have been saved from hunger and starvation. However, there are still about 15 millions, including more than four million children who are under 14 years of age, who are going to starve if no food is sent to them. The area affected by the famine is equal to that of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Quotes Reports Given "A number of stories have been reported from China saying that American money has alleviated the sufferings of the people as well as that their lives have been saved. "One story is related by -an American woman missionary-Mrs. Clark, in China, who received a grant of $5,000

for refugee work from the American j

rieucr association. , jt runs as roilows: .- "They have stood in the big covered, gateway, through which the raw evening wind blew,, piercing their cotton rags and making their teeth chatter. Outside the ground was . white with snow. The mother was holding to her breast a half-naked boy, almost perished with the cold: and the youngest child, a boy of 10, carried bis three-year-old sister in poor, bony arms not wholly covered with a torn blouse. They made no moan or outcry: even the babies were quiet, too number by cold and hunger to whimper. One glance told me that the boy was very ill, his ashen face and gasping

breath made it apparent that he was nn the point of .collapse. And the tiny girl he carried how could any one to thin be alive? My questions disclosed that they j-livod 13 miles distant in the mountain?, had been starving at home and had heard we were saving starving people. They had been walking all ' clay. I look at them,- at their worn 4 f hoes, at the snow on the ground, and ' at the gltly face of the sick boy, and wondered how he could have walked even one yard. The little sister was too weak to

' Ftand. Was it. possible he had carried her 13 miles! So they came in, :md were warmed and fed and clothed. " How glad I was to have food to give to them ' This liitle boy was suffering from n ' ory bnd type of dysentery, which had ' been sapping his strength for months. ' he was -to swollen with droppy that h breathing- was difficult. Yet he had staggered all day, over rocky roads, . covered with snow, bearing his little sister to where he hoped she might . find food. There are hundreds of such " that we have not enough money to save. Therefore in giving you money, you are saving their lives. Untold millions of China, and millions of Armenia, are starving not . enly women and little children, but . also the men, whose greatest happiness would be to provide for them, . but who are sinking by their sides. Yours very truly, A. C. WAUNG.

ELECTION, LUNCHEON

WOMAN'S CLUB FRIDAY

A majority of the 100 women who are members of the Woman's club will attend the annual luncheon and election of officers to be held at the Arlington hotel Friday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock, it is said. This will be

the final gathering of the club women

this season. Activities of the various

departments have closed and will no

be resumed until next fall, when the

new officers will take up their duties

All officers except the president, it

is ' said, are eligible for re-election.

That office can be held for only two years, after which the holder may not

succeed herself. Mrs. Paul Comstock,

the retiring president, who has guided

the club since its organization two

years ago. has been chosen chairman of the club's art department for next

year by unanimous vote.

Those members who have not yet made reservations for the luncheon may do so by calling Mrs. Omar G. Murray, phone 2961, by 8:00 o'clock Thursday evening.

TWO SENTENCED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT

Charles Long and Ellis Brown were sentenced to serve 10 and five days repectively in the county jail for contempt of court Thursday afternon by Judge Bond. Long had been served with a citation ordering him to appear in court Thursday morning to present reasons why a receiver should not be appointed to may an accounting of the partnership of Long; and VanTilburg. He did not appear in court until brought by officers. Long was charged with misappropriating funds of the company in a suit filed Wednesday afternon.

Denver Harlan was appointed receiver for the company which began

operating a feed barn and livery sta ble at 51 North A street, April 5.

Ellis Brown had been ordered to appear as a material witness in the case,

but also failed to appear as ordered.

Sheriff Wadman and Officer Clem Carr

brought the two men into court.

Opposition to the filling of the gulch into which the national road leads at Southwest First street, failed to deter the board of works from confirming the original resolution without modifications Thursday morning. It is planned to make the fill level with Southwest First street, opening the street both north and south, and leading onto the Main street bridge. Esther Griffin White presented a petition signed by officers of the Republican Women's organization of the city, protesting against the proposed improvement Gath Freeman, speak

ing against confirmation of the resolution, said that both the Wayne coun

ty and the state historical societies were opposed to the move.

Dell Davis, city engineer, said that

the gulch as it stands, is an eye-sore

to the city, and that trash was dump

ed there, as in other remote and unim

proved sections of the city. Verbal Sparring. Mr. Beltz, of the board, said, "I think if the remonstrators would see

our plans for the improvement, which

are in the engineer's office, they would not object." "Mr. Peltz, I saw those plans a year ago." said Miss White. Several residents of West Richmond spoke in favor of filling the gulch, as did Mayor Zimmerman. Upon motion by John Peltz, the resolution was

adopted as originally presented. Following the meeting, Miss White said : "We will still continue to fight the closing of the National road. The action of the board of works was in line with its usual policy. The arguments of City Engineer Davis were labored and amusing. Naturally some members of the board of works would fall in with the plan of real estate agents to close up the National road. Attacks Arguments "The argument that South West First street cannot be opened unless the road is closed is fallacious, s the street could be made to curve around instead of going in a straight line. Arguments that the place was an eyesore because used as a dump, was a sad commentary on the inability of the present city administration to enforce local ordinances. According to

City Engineer Davis, the city is completely at the mercy of men dumping trash. Statements made indicate that the board is wholly unable to prevent throwing of trash in any place. This was one of the heavyweight arguments used by the city engineer in his remarks opposing the petition to keep the National road open. If the city hasn't enough good sense, to put it mildly, to see the point being made in trying to keep the National road

open at this point, namely, to preserve

the road's scenic beauty and historic traditions, they have no business to be in office. In other words, the city is in the hands of barbarians and real estate dealers. But we intend to continue the fight."

Attorney Freeman is to draw up and

present a remonstrance within 10

days, allowed by law, according to Miss White.

John Duke was awarded the con

tract of placing a sewer system in Ridge and Hunt streets. His bid for

both jobs was $1,184.

Esthard Auto Company, Richmond Indiana;

Any statement that Dodge Brothers have reduced or intend reducing prices is absolutely false. Dodge Erothers have alvays bought most advantageously and manufactured most economically and Today Their manufacturing stock is held at today's replacement values. , Since Their first cars were marketed seven years ago their prices, have increased less than any other manufacturer but one, and during that time many improvements have been added which alone offset the increased price.
