MrCinn of Notre Panic university, who xpoke Thursday ni;ht before the Women' Civic league. In th course of his talk Fr. Mctlinn scored what he called th I'harlio Chaplin ami Marie DnwUr type- f comedy in the motion pictures. Charlie Chaplin, he said. - was paid a salary of $l,0uo a week for beln blest with an inferior iüt Uect fur 'huir.K brains in his leef. The meeting Thursday niht was an open meeting of the Civic club which -uus organized last .spring asji resu' of the work of the cleanup committee. Following Fr.

McCiinn the civic league passed th follow im; resolution prepared bv Habbi Cronbach. .Mrs. W.

The meeting em opened by Mrs. b Kicker.yclier, president of the leaciie. who reieveil the w ork which had ltd the women of the b-anoe to form a permam nt oianizutton lo rry n the activities started by the ;-.eanup committee.

The place, form and activity of the various departments of the city government will be considered at that time. On the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 12, Rev. ( A. Upptncott will speak on the subject. "So City is IJetter Than Its Homes". On Friday, Nov. the work of the home will be considered. Speaks On Home. Fr. McGinn's subject Thursday nitfht was, "Social Welfare and What the Civic Leanuo Can Do". He conlined himself largely to tho subject of th home saying that subject of the home tts necessarilj- involved in the subject of social welfare. He called attention to the great work that had been accomplished by women throughout the world's history and to the fact that this work had not been fully appreciated. He referred to woman as the missing factor in the work of social welfare which was the most divine as well tho most human of work. Woman, said the speaker, waj a creative power in the domain of civic progress. Women have gained their power through sacrifice and no others were better fitted for the development of good citizenship and civic character. To best do its work, he said, the civic league must foster, develop and apply in the home those forces of authority, obedience, respect, reference, love and altruism which are essential to the development of chic character. The family is not a product of .society, but It produces society, explained the speaker, and its great work is that of conserving the social order and transmitting all the forms of social possession. As the plant reflects tho nature of the seed from which it was .-pruny so society reilects the family life from which it was sprung. The work of the Women's league must be constructive as well as destructive; i: must foster the good in the civic life as well as aid Xn eradicating thoso forces detrimental to tho development of a good civic character. TolN Home llU. Fr. McGinn quoted from socialogists who hohl that thf- family is now In the most unstable condition that it Iris ever been in during the world'4 history. He pointed out how it was tho belief of many that the family vw: cine to pass away thus robbing the world of the reat underlying force in the preservation of society. The things that are undermining tho family, said, were such evils a child labor, long hours, employment of marrid women and ihsiitUcU nt wage. Conroms who foanl It ntrwyary tr work in n seeu days a week and 13 hours a day. he declared, were subsidized by social welfare. He pointed out that one of the best signs of pr-u-r-N uas tb growing realization that ar.y condition tending t depreciate wom'n should not be tolerated. Xn 'Xoeary Ktil".

Christ". To fall to Contimit commercialized "necessary" evil, lie maintained, was to compromise with the devil. The chiM in th factory, the woman In the mill, the fdrl In the street are Indictments of our social organization. The speaker ured publicity in tho fight to Hecure better motion pictures. He said that what he miKht say Jn regard to the picture shows he might as well say in regard to many other theaters or of dance halls. He estimated that possibly 40 per cent of motion pictures were good, 4 5 per cent stupid, 10 per cent bad and rive per cent immoral. The pictures, ho thought, should be ptudled only in the light of their influence on the family. As example of pictures which, to say the least, he considered to be worthless If not actually harmful, were "Kruetzer's Sonata" and "The Housu of Bondage". He denounced such pictures us featured divorces and declared that pictures which were not shown to persons' under 16 years of ago should not be witnessed by any person. The pictures of the Twilight Sleep, recently shown here, he held were purely the result of a financial deal and were of no clentiflo value.

Finally the speaker called attention

to the Women's Civic league offering an opportunity to the mothers of tho city to do the work of a mother in a larger sense; to create a institution of social motherhood. As women outshine in the field of motherllness so they could bring the spirit of motherllness into the work of civic betterment and thts would be better by far than all theorizing over social conditions. "Apply the spirit of motherllness." s-aid the speaker, "and yours may be a force unlimited and, above all, sane." There was a large attendance nt the

meetirg which was held at the Cham- i Iter of Commerce. Following the ad- ! dress of the evening there was some !

As far as amusement for the onlookers was concerned, the scooter race was the best event of the evening. For nun who are accustomed to walking steadily on two feet, it was u hard feat to balance on the little wagon in a race around the gymnasium. Several disastrous "spills" were taken, the funniest of which was Don Walk's collision with the wall. The Tribune team was too much for "our boys" in the indoor game, winning bv the score of 10 to . Philip Nlcar started to pitch for The NewsTimes, but after a few innings he filled up the bases and turned over the reins to Arcene Anderson.

BIRD TELLS HOW HE WAS CONVERTED IN 1906 In commemoration of his conversion nine years ago Rev. Hay A. Bird, who has been superintendent of the City Mission on Jefferson blvd. for the past year, told the story of hl conversion In Saginaw, Mich., Oct. 13, i90e. Uev. Bird said he was walking down the street in Saginaw drunk and feeling as de-sperate and mean as any "down-and-outer" that walks the streets and allies of the big cities today. Passing the little mission superintended by George W. Trotter, who spoke here last week. Bird heard the singing of hymns through the open door and began to investigate, not knowing whether he waa entering a saloon or church and parsed through the door where he met Trotter. As this case was only a common one to Trotter he soon had Bird In a pew and talking to him of the manner In which he was living and the opposite way in which he should live. Prayer was asked for him that evening at the mission and every night after that for two years Bird was on the "Job", not entering in a drunken manner, but helping the other sinners who came in in that style. One years ago he was given the position he now holds by Mel Trotter, who has charge of the mission -over Bird.
