MORALS BOD! Ministers Do Not Discuss Subject Undertaken at Last Meeting. Whether throusrh the efforts of Influential members of the nssoeiatlon or licause of a lark of interest upon th part of th members enrrally. the South Iend and Mi.hawaka Ministerial aociatlon apparently h.i dropped it recently formed determination to investigate condition In South Bend In order to place the Mamp for the ron-nfor-inent of the law in the city wh'-rc it At the mtin;? of th a.-:?ociation Monday morning at the Y. M. f A. no report of th puMir moral." committee appointed at the inf'tlnj a xveefc asro to investigate conditions In the city was either made or asked for. The members Instead spent the time in listening to a talk by Rev. K. L. House, an fvannfllst who is delivering: a series of lectures at Llkhart. It wa the general impression nt the meeting of the association a "week aero that the public moral committee would make- a report of Its findings at the mo.-ting hehl Monday mornlnp. Following the failure of the, committee to report, one prominent member of the association declared that it looked very much to him as if the proposed invfstlftatlon of the association into )tith Rend condition had been Iropped. However, thl member Would jrlve no reasons for his views. At the meet! njr a week ago, bounty Pro. Famuel p. Schwartz told the members that there had been lack of cooperation at times upon the part of the j)olir' department with the county prosecutor's ofTice in prosecuting violators of the liquor law. Mr. Fehwartz. appeared before the negotiation a week ago at the request of tho members themselves. Action Ilex-imlil. Action taken by the association nt its last meeting in passing a resolution providing that all matters that may place the association on public record should be laid over one v.eek before such matters were definitely acted upon was rescinded at the meeting Monday, all the members save one voting for the rescinding motion. Tr. A. M. Kells, who voted in the negative on the rescinding motion, charged that an effort was being made by certain members of the association to make it impossible for the association to cro on record In public matters unless; they wer" present, and he declared that Inasmuch as the association had committed Itself to such a policy, it should be held to it. Following the vote on" this motion, the association gave over the "balance of the time of the meeting to Rev. House who severely criticized Christian Science and New Thought, declaring, however, that he had dUrovered something that would -re-Vent men and women from going to these two religions. He declared that Christian Fcience was appropriating to itself all that was good in religion, whereas orthodox religions had Just as much right to these thing3 hs cither Christian Science or New Thought have. iVyclioIogicjtl llcliginn.' He declared that he had discovered a means by which he is preventing members of other chutches from gcirig to either of these, two religions. He called it "sychologlcal Religion," and attempted to show that there are three minds, the mind, the Mibconselous mind, and the super mind. He said that the mind is the waking man, the subconscious mind the power behind the waking man. and the super mind is the spiritual luind that governs the other two minds. He declared Christian Science to Vc auto suggestion, and pointed out n way which he said would enable other churches to use the same healing power that Christian Science claims to have. He urged Iiis doctrine, declaring that it is easy for th ordinary person to understand. II declared that his religious views had been approved by many prominent educators in this country and In Knpland. He declared that h" h:id written rsvny books on the subject, nnd that these hooks were in many editions. After hearinc Rev. House's talk, the association pave bin a vote of thanks, and then adjourned without taking up any other business.

How Akron is Meeting its " Housing Problem,Told in Report by H. A. Tohulka

Housing conditions In Akron, O., and how the need for more homes Is being met in that city are described in the report of Herman A. Tohulka, who was delegated by the Chamber of Commerce to make an Investigation for the local chamber. The report follows: "Feb. 7, 1019. "As a member of your committee, I was instructed to visit Akron, O., for the purpose of investigating the conditions of housing In that city. "Firt-t I gathered that plans for building houses were turned over to the real estate board of that city, who in turn got in touch with individuals and investors and induced them to build houses. About o.OOO houses were built by their efforts. These were all sold. "Second The needs of the committee have not been met, as only ÜÖ percent of the laboring men in tills city live in their own hotnea or rented houses; 25 percent live on the outside of the city of Akron, in f-uliiirlian towns. in lake resort houses; :5 percent live in rooms, attics and cellars, a very bad housing condition. Third Their building movements started in the year 19f5. There were 1.09$ houses built in that year. In 1916 there were 2.637 houses built. In 1917 3,01 1 houses wero luilt; in 191S 700 houses were built. The population of census of 1910 In Akron were 69,000. In 1918, eight years, the population has increased to 160,000, an increase of 123 percent. "Fourth The laboring people built n few houses for their own use. Individual speculators built a large number of houses for sale, which were all Fold and none rented. Subdivisions were laid out and all met with jjooti linancial success. Ranks lo.ined 60 percent of tho valuation of the-se properties and a second mortgage loan company, organized by individuals and incorporated, loaned 2' percent on the valuation of property and charged 7 percent interest. They also charped a 20 percent discount on all money loaned on second mortgages. Xo Utilldors Company. "I also met Mr. Workman, the president of the Akron chamber of commerce, who infoormed me that j there was no home builders' comJ pany in the city of Akron that was ; hacked by public subscriptions. They J were organizing a company of this kind and had about $2r0.000 subscribed when the war broke out and this was given up. "I alc. met Mr. Rob Ie, an official of the Firestone Tire Co., who Is now drafting a pi in for a new jj,(0ooo home builders' company, to be subscribed by public subscriptionWhen his plan is completed he ha. kindly consented to mall me a copy of his outline in typewritten form. j "His idea is to build houses to rent I only, on an S percent basis and to jret 6 percent to the investor. The I Firestone Tire corporation have puri chased a tract of TOO acres within tone mile of the factory. They have j subdivided this tract by an outlay of $4.ooö,oi This Included the layinc cf a mile of street car track, which i connected with the city lines. This ! was done at their own expense, j Ruilt an up-to-date school, a church; j 1 1 Id o'U park and water mains. The houses built are Ave, six. seven and ieiirht rooms; all modern, and sell at cost, plus 2 percent. Th prices of these properties rano front $3,500 t, ..r".o, with 2: to $."00 down, j r ns mnch more as the purchaser '! i.'iv h te to pay, and at least 1 perj cent "f the balance due per month, which Includes inter-: at 6 percent. jt xcfi and Insurance. This firm has built about l.Sna houses, which are :ill so'd, and will bui'.d l.'Oo mre boufe this year. The V:y lumber ?nl material in carloa! lots and do their own buildinc. Mr. Krueer. their real estate maniser. would not commit himself as to this venture beln ? a paying proposition as far as his real estate department was concerned, but that the Firestone

On Saturday of this week tho Woman's club will entertain at the second of a series of War Victory card njarties, given to furnish funds for the work of the patriotic and civic service department of the club. Following the afternoon of cards, a cafeteria supper, open to the public, will be served by the members In the club rooms. Tire corporation found that it was a paying proposition for them as far as their labor was concerned, as they figure that it costs them $50 per man before he is trained in his particular work, -and if he is not properly housed and can bring his family to Akron he will leave in a short while, consequently they must break in a new man and the same costs incur. I understand there is 70 percent of their labor that stay only one year, and their loss in this particular is figured to be about $3,000,000- a year, consequently they find it pays them to house their men. Finds Attractive Additions. "The Metropolitan Iäfe Insurance Co. is making a 60 percent loan on all houses built by the Firestone corporation, and the corporation finances tho balance of the 40 percent. "I visited this addition and found a beautiful outlay, with paved btreets, and the houses built were substantial and all modern. "I also visited the fioodyear addition, a tract of 350 acres, one mile from the plant with no street car service within a mile, but the Goodyear's are running a two-minute buss line to and from this addition to their factory during working and closing down time. This district is quite hilly and required a great amount of capital for the grading of streets and lots. There are about 2, COO houses finished and under construction in this addition, but in my mind much more attractive than the houses in the Firestone addition. Statistics of (Irowth. "I wish to state here that the rapid growth that Akron has made in the last eight" years, which statistics I received from Mr. Stevens, secretary of the chamber of commerce, is as follows: "Total bank deposits in 1910 were $11,113,625, which have increased to Nov 1, 1918. to $4U74,3G7. "The bank clearings on Nov. 1, 1M0, were S49.S00.000. In 1918 they were $282.188,000. "The va-ue of building permits in 1914 to 1915 was $6.030,950. In 1916 to 1917, $13,94S.rJ05. From 1917 to 191 S the building permits dropped to $S,S35,221. "The pay-roll for 1913 was $25,300,000. In 1918 it Increased to $74.S0O.840. "The number of employes In 1910 were 23,4r.O, in 16S industries. In 191J. 6.1,269. "The city tax duplicate of 1910 was $."1.500,000 and the city taxduplicate of 191S was $230,000.000 at a tax rate, including state, county, and city, of $1.54. "Their subscription to the war chest was oversubscribed $500.000, their limit of subscription being 2.o00.000. "I found Alron a very bu?y. thriving city, that has prrown faster than any one realizes. I also found that the housing conditions there were 50 percent normal. Rospectfullv submitted. IT. A. TOHULKA." TRIBUTE TO ROOSEVELT AT COMMERCE CHAMBER Monday was Hoosevelt day at the Chamber of Commerce, the topic at the noon luncheon being the Oyster i Ray man, recently deceased. Samuel R. Pettengill was the speaker, and : reviewed the lit? of the ex-prtsident : in considerable detail, with quite equal balance as to Iiis virtues and ' bis faults. He pictured his subject us tpically American in all theÄ particulars. The Iunchccn was usually well attended, but not exceptionally so, notv. ithstanding the two week'3 an- ! r.ounctmor.t. and the ability of the peaker. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. T. K.

Red Cross Finds Soldier on Casualty List Was Son'of Elmyra, N. Y. Woman. What is declared to be positive proof that the Pvt. Francis G. Higby who was reported as killed in action on the casually list of May 2 4. 191?. is the son of Mrs. Rertha Page, Elmyra, N. Y., and not the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Higby, 911 Oakland st., this city, has been received through the home cervice section of tho local Red Cross chapter. When Mr. and Mrs. IRgby read the name Pvt. Francis Higby in the casualty list they appealed to the home service section of the Red Cross to ascertain whether or not it was their son, from whom they had not heard in two years. The home service section then took immediate steps through the Lake division headquarters to pet into communication with the home service section of the Red Cross chapter of Rlmyra and as the result of their effort? have received the following information: "There is absolutely no question but that Pvt. Francis Higby, Co. F, first U. S. engineers, was the son of Mr. Higby, vho has since died when Francis and his brother were very young. Francis was born in Tourin, N. Y Aug. 9, IS 96, and has, always lived with' his mother. After this divorce Mrs. Higby married a man by the name of Rage.

One month before he sailed for overseas he was married to Margaret (maiden name unknown) Higby of 1300 Spring st., Syracuse, N. Y. His wife has received an allotment, but as far as Mrs. Page knows he had taken out no government insurance. "The visitor paw pictures of Pvt. Higby from infancy up to the time of his sailing, also both postals and letters written to his mother and brother after he arrived in France. Attention is drawn to the fact that the Pvt. Higby referred to in your letter was a member of Co. F, 5th F. A., while the Pvt. Francis Higby who was the son of Mrs. Page was a member of Co. F, 1st U. S. engineers." The Francis Higby who Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Higby of this city enlisted in the army on Dec. 20, 1914, but was discharged from service two years ago because he was under age. His parents then claim that he obtained a position in Elmyra. N. Y., and roomed there at the home of Mrs. Page. ELLIOTT T Judge Submits Names of Five Attorneys to Choose Special Judge From. Although there were 16 cases on the city court docket Monday morning, noife of the cases in which the defendant did not plead guilty was disposed of. They were continued to tome other time.

The other three declared that the police had made a mistake, and they will be given a hearing later,' the police not being on hand to prosecute. Alex Sowerzynski, charged with the unlawful possession of liquor, pleaded guilty and was fined $50 and cots. Clarence Elliott, whose bar fixtures were taken out by the police a week ago. asked for a change of venue on the charge of the unlawful sale of liquor. Judge Gilmer submitted the names of Eli Seebirt, Ponald Prummond, Joseph Kovac, E. XV. Strickland and Louis M. Hammerschmidt to the opposing cou. sei from whom to select one as a sp "m.1 judge.

South Dend will not be affected by the orders for a general strike of bricklayers and hoisters in sym pathy with the already striking carpenters and joiners. The sympathetic strike orders call for a discontinuance of work by bricklayers and bolsters in 1S2 cities throughout the country in the employ of members of the Iiuilding Trades Employers association. South Bend has only one concern that is a member of this association. This Is the Stewart Construction Co., doing work at the plant of the Studebaker eorporatlon, and at thia time the Stewart Construction Co. is not doing any work. K. II. Meti of the local labor trades council declared Monday that he had not been officially notified of the sympathetic strike order, and he declared that such an order could not pessibly affect rnore than six men in this city. The strike of the carpenters and joiners has not affected this city, and it is not believed in labor and building circles that the call for a sympathetic strike will affect the South Bend situation.
