EFFORTS Till S FAR HAVE MET SERIOUS OPPOSITION IN

CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON’, Sept. 8. (UP) — Re-organization of the Feiirrat government’s tructure, as proposed b\ both Hoover and Smith in their acceptance ■ p i he : , is an old story ti Washington. As far hack as 11*12; President 'i aft submitted to Congress sugge tions for a recla sification of the evocutive departments and independent bureau^ in the federal governrv.i nt. Pre ident Harding went even further and presented to Congress a complete plan for a regrouping cf th' various agencies that comprise the govtrnmental machine. Congress rejected Harding’s plan and since then there has been no concerted effort to put into effect a comprehensive reorganization plan. As Secretary of Commerce, Hoovei absorbed several bureaus fnm othei departments, notably the Bureau of Mim*s anil the Patent Office. The United States Chamber of Commerce, which has been an outfpoken advocate of reorganization, has now reconciled itself to a “progressive reorganization’’ and has given up any hope that a sweeping change can lie pushed through Con pre s all at nee. Too many jobs an at stake and the political consequences of a drastic reorgaization are tni uncertain for Congress to approve any such scheme. Outstanding features of the plan recommended to Congress by President Harding and his Cabinet of which Hoover was a member, included: Co-cnlination of the naval and military establishments urder a sing le Cabinet officer; transfer of ail non-military functions from the Wat and Navy Departments to civilian de padmonts; elimination of all nonfisral functions from the Treasury Department establishment of a Department of Education and Welfare; changing the name of the Postoffice Department to the Department < f Communications. In addition, it was proposed to attach to the departments all independent bureau except those of a qua-i-judi-iul nature of which act ;\ tervice agencies for all departments. Example- of overlapping functions and incongruities in tire grouping of governmental agencies are numerous under th pr -ont rgunizatioh. Services whosi duties are similar are ground among a nun her of departments where it i difficult for them to work in cooperation. Reorganization, it is contended, would make possible great economies and increa ed efficiency in the government’s activities Critics of the present regime point out that the Coa t Guard, for instance, could be admini-ti red bet11 r hv the Navy than the Treasury, where it is now.

Largely through the activities of iic-e vi iting nurses, the bureau reals, the infant mortality rate in the nited States was reduced last year o the lowest point Mnce records lave been kept. The rate was 64 loath for every 1,000 live births, vhich compares pith a previous low ate of 71 in lf'24. In 1926, the rate

The work of the visiting nurses is hiefly educational and aim- to reach 'arents with advice on the care of nother and child. In many cases, towever, the nurses are present at he time of birth and assist the physi•ians. Sometimes, too, no doctors are callable anil the nurses w.irk alone. Tetters from nurses on file in the 'hildren’s Bureau recount innumeriblo thrilling and amusing experien•es they have encountered on their isits to out-of-the-way plates. Mo-t >f the nurses visit rural areas by lUtomobile and are frequently snowtounil or “washed out’’ on lonely •ountry roads. U ik among the Negro mothers in he South is an important part of the Sheppard-Towner nurses program. Xmong the native population there he nurses and mid-wives are known is “rabbit snatchers.” The Negro nothers are extremely grateful for he services of the visiting nurses whom they regard as direct roprelentative- of Uncle Sam.

radius of half a mile of the Opera. They are ostensibly social clubs foi gentlemen. The cost of membership is insignificant in all of them, hut if a member fail- to appear in the gambling room at Fa t two or throe evenings a week, he is soon made to feel that his company is not desired. In these private clubs, which are considered officially as merely “social” in character, there is usually to be found an excellent restaurant and bar. On the profit- of these the government levies it usual taxes—but no more. The gambling clubs have found an easy way out (if this, however, for they turn a definite proportion of the “tallies’ share” into tin* eating and drinking fund. The result is interesting for the members. With the create n of casinos at Versailles, Fontainebleau, Rouen, Orleans and the reopening of the one *it Enghien which for years was exceedingly popular, it is predicted that not less than 40,000.000 francs would he tinned into the public treasury year-

I. Paul Disputing with the Athenians (vv. 10-21). 1. The occasion (v. 10). While waiting for Timothy and Silas. Paul saw the city of Athens wholly given to Idolatry. This stirred his spirit. It Is the conselousutss of the world’s lost condition that Impels disciples to witness of Christ’s saving power. 2. The place (vv. 17-21). (1) In the synagogue (v. 17). True to his custom Paul went Into the Jewish synagogue and entered In to earnest argument with the Jews and the devout persons there. (2) In the market place (vv. 17-21). From the Jews he turned to such as were four.d In the market place. Here he came into touch with the Epicurean ami Stoic philosophers. The former were atheistic materialists, denying the doctrine of creation nnd giving themselves up to sensual Indulgence, rejecting the Idea of a future judgment. The latter were pantheists. When they heard the preaching of Paul they Invited him to the Areopagus to speak to them of this new doctrine. II. Paul’s Address on Mars’ Hill (vv. 22-34). 1. The Introduction (vv. 22-23). He Introduces his discourse In n courteous nnd conciliatory manner, saying that ns lie was viewing tladr city he beheld an altar with an Inscription “to the unknown God.” This was his point of contact, 2. The body of his discourse (vv. 24-31). (1) A declaration concerning God (vv. 24. 23). n. The material universe was created by Him (v. 24). b. His spirituality nnd immensity (v. 24). Being essentially spiritual lie ilemnnds heart worship, and being transcendent He is not confined to earthly temples. c. Ills active providence (v. 25). lie gives being, bestows native gifts, and as Sovereign directs nil things. (2) A declaration concerning man (vv. 20-31). n. lie Is the offspring of God (v. 20). Since men are His offspring and bear His likeness, it Is utter folly to make Images to Him. b. Nations have their place b. God’s purpose (v. 26). c. Men should seek God (v. 27). (1. The present obligation to repent (vv. 30, 31). 3. The results of Paul's address (vv. 32, 34). (1) Some mocked (v. 32). (2) Some procrastinated (v. 32). (3) Some believed (v. 34). III. Paul in Corinth (Acts 18:1-11) Paul came to Corinth a stranger. His method of gaining a foothold is worthy of note. His first task was to find a homo (\ 2), his second was to earn bis daily breed (v. 3). 1. Preaching In the synagogue at Corinth (vv. 4-8). (1) Tim'* of (v. 4). Every Sabbath day. (2) Encouraged by the coming of Silas nnd Timothy (v. 5). (3) Opposition P Paul (v. 6). As he Increased big activity, opposition also Increased. . (4) The purpose to turn to the Gentiles (v. 6). Because of their blasphemy nnd opposition he ceased work among the Jews. (.-|) lie did not go far away (v. 7). He remained culficlently near so that those whose hearts God had touched could easily find him. (6) His success (v. 8). Crlspus, the chief ruler of (he synagogue, was converted nnd Paul departed from Ids usual custom nnd bnpllzed him (I Cor. 1:14). Many others also believed. 3. Paul’s vision (vv. 0-11), Ills experiences since coming to Europe were very trying, therefore he needed encouragement. It Is Just like the Ford to come when Ills servant has the greatest need. Note the Lord’s words: (1) "Be not nfrald.’’ (2) "Speak nnd hold not thy pmee.” (3) “I nm with thee.” (4) “No man shall set on thee to hurt thee.’’ (5) "1 have much people In this city.”
