SLUMP IN RECRUITS FOR MINISTRY REAL EPISCOPAL PROBLEM (By Associate I Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 23. The Episcopal church in the United States faces a real problem through the steady decrease in the number of recruits for the ministry, a commission appointed to investigate the subject declared in a report made public today. This sitaj uauon, me commission stated, is more grave than seems to be the case with other religious bodies." In the diocese of New York, whero In the fifties, there was one minister for every 491 communicants, the commission found that today there was only one minister for every 2.523. "That this proportion is maintained throughout the country," added - the statement, "is indicated by the fnct that in the diocese of Rhode Island in the fifties, one minister wa3 recruited for every 626 members, while today only one minister is recruited lor every 3,754 members; and that through the southwestern states, where in 1820 one minister was produced for every 235 communicants,, at present one is produced for every 5,000 communicants." Ratio is Small. Tho report made by Rev. Dr. George Barthell of Philadelphia, dean Fosbrftkf nf iha rionnrol New York, and Rev. Dr. Harry Nich-j wis, roereu an investigation of many months. It showed that on on a general average throughout the Episcopal church, the ratio of ministerial recruits to communicats annually was one to 2.251. On this phase of the situation the commission says: "The seriousness of our case is heightened by the interplay of two facts; that our membership is Increasing more rapidly than the average, while at the same time our ministry is increasing much less rapidly than the average. It means that we are pressing more quickly toward the critical moment when there will be so few ministers that our whole growth and work will be menaced." ' It was shown that today there was an excess of 1,277 stations over the net number of clergy available to fill them and attention is drawn to the fact that approximately 40 percent of the new ministers ordained in the Episcopal church in the last 10 years, have come from Methodist, Presbyterian or Baptist denominations, and not from the Episcopal church.

The horse soon will be but a memory, so far as the principal thoroughfares of Paris are concerned if plans of "traffic reformers" are adopted in an effort to disentangle the traffic jams which are daily making the pedestrian's existence more uncertain. These experts propose to bar all horse-drawn vehicles from the chief traffic arteries during the daylight hours, leaving the horse only a few hours at night in which to jog along. The Traffic authorities would go further and even banish ordinary human beings who are forced to walk. They propose putting them all underground on a moving sidewalk. In any event those who take a gloomy view of the traffic situation, see one optimistic aspect of it. They say it can't get any worse. Accidents are almost hourly occurrences on ths boulevards and a tieup is the inevitable result. The red bands at crossings constructed to give protection to the walkers, have proved a failure. Only a heavy rain reveals their presence and even then the drivers ignore them. "Cruising" taxicabs add to the confusion and it further suggested that this practice be prohibted. The increase in the buses has deprived taxicabs of much business and they are now forced to solicit business, a thing unnecessary since 1914. iOYS UNDER 6 HALF INCH TALLER, POUND HEAVIER T;AN GIRLS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 Boys in this country under six years of age, average from one third to one half an inch taller -and "about one pound" heavier than girls, according to a report today by the federal children's bureau said to be based on "the largest mass of data on the heights and weights of children under six years of age ever brought together in this country." The tabulation was made in connection with" children's year" and includes both native and foreign born children. "California children are found to be slightly taller and heavier than other groups !n the study," the report said, "a difference for which climate or some other factcr other than the nationality composition of the population which closely resembles (hat of other parts of the country is held responsible." A selected group of native born children show-ed "very little deviation" from the total average including foreign born, the report said. While negro children under four years of age showed a deficiency in both height and weight as compared with white children, this difference was said to have practically disappeared at the fifth year.

LESS UNEMPLOYMENT IN INDIANA, REPORT; RELIEF IS APPARENT INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 23 That unemployment conditions throughout Indiana steadily are being relieved and that a similar situation is becoming apparent throughout the country is f hown in the correspondence of Evans Woollen, regional director of the president's unemployment conference's activities in this state. In a report to Col. Arthur Woods, who is in charge of the permanent offices of the unemployment conference at Washington, the regional director of Indiana said a recent statement that "there are no labor emergency situations known in any of the cities of Indiana which require the attention of civic committees at this time to meet unemployment situations," is substantially in accordance with facts gathered throughout Indiana by the director. Evidence Complete The report of the Indiana director was accompanied by summaries of unemployment conditions in many cities of the state. That similar betterment of the unemployment situation Is becoming apparent elsewhere, but that continued effort to keep men at work is imperative, is indicated by a letter just leceived by Mr. Woollen from Herbert Hoover, chairman of the pres ident's unemployment conference, in which the secretary of commerce said that "the results of the conference are evident on every hand; in action by municipalities, by states in creation of emergency committees, by employers and labor in co-operation, by establishment of short-time work, and in many other directions. Unemployment has been so mitigated as to remove the greater anxieties of the matter for the present, although relapse of effort and winter conditions may necessitate increase of measures before the winter is over." Mr. Hoover also said "the more permanent work laid out by the conference is being organized and if sufficient funds can be secured to warrant thorough work, it will be pressed." 40 PER CENT BOOST IN N. Y. XMAS MAIL I (By Associated Press) ! NEW YORK, Dec. 23 If the amount 'of mail leaving New York this Christmas season is any indication of business conditions, Postmaster Morgan j thinks prosperity has arrived.
