KLAN AND RACE PREJUDICE ALSO CONDEMNED. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.—The Ku Klux Klan and race prejudice in general were denounced today at the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The rural church was represented as lacking in religion. The Japanese exclusion act was called an “international disaster of the first magnitude.” Cyrus E. Woods, former American ambassador to Tokio, used that phrase in a letter to the council. “The exclusion act also was a disaster to American diplomacy in the far east and a disaster to religion and effective work of our American churches in Japan,” Mr. Woods wrote. “Jananese should be placed on a quota basis, which would admit only 146 immigrants a year. Unless the question is handled properly at once, the ultimate consequences cannot be fully forcast.” For Interracial Cooperation. The Rt. Rev. Frederick F. Reece of the Protestant Episcopal church, Savannah, Ga., who spoke on the subject of “What the Churches Should Do to Further Interracial Cooperation,” declared ‘“‘the Negro is not simply a white man with a black skin. It is, therefore, hard for the Negro to understand the white man and the white man to understand the Negro, and so the growth of friendly relationships is of slow growth.” ‘““Protsetants Betray Negroes.”’ Bishop George C. Clement of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, Louisville, Ky., called the Protestant churches “unfair for turning over the Negroes, who are, he said, from 90 to 95 per cent Protestant, to the care of the Roman Catholies, because it is the Protestants who sympathize with the Ku Klux Klan.”

They Are Well Equipped and Qualified to Handle the Largest and Smallest Building Contract and the Reputation They Have Established for Satisfaction in Each and Every Transaction is the Secret of Their Well Established and Progressive Business. e T

When the first white man saw what is now South Bend he beheld only a wilderness—for it took a broadness of vision, a diligent application of effort, a firm belief in the future to bring South Bend to where it stands today, a city that is noted for its industries, its schools and its ecitizens. In the years of building South Bend Platz & Gill have played a part that gives pride in our combined accompishments. They marched with the spirit of progress and their name has become synonymous of conscientious and thoughtful and efficient service. They have proved to be one of the ost progressive contracting firms in .gl:is section. With their personnel of wide experience and ability in the building field, they have shown a marked influence in building development of the city. An actor when asked why he gave so good a performance before a small house, replied, “Dave Belasco might have been in the audience.” Platz and Gill are not “too big” to manage small buildings. Like the actor, they are willing to be judged on each performance. They give the same painstaking at-

Part Vitamins Play in Human Organism In writing of the fate of vitamins in the body, the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association says it has been discovered that they are stored up In the liver. The conclusion that vitamins are highly essential to the welfare of the living organism, he says, as so many recent investigations seem to indicate beyond peradventure, is based on the observation of nutritlve failure and the appearance of socalled deficiency diseases when some of the food factors referred to are missing from the diet. “It may almost be regarded as a corl ollary,” he continues, “that, under conditions of a deficit in vitamin-beariug products, the body itself will become Impoverished in these physiologically potent factors. For several types of vitamins evidence is now available that this is actually the case. It has been found by Steenbock, Sell and Nelson that the liver is an important center of fat-soluble vitamin storage, varyilng- in its content of this substance with the ration fed. When the diet of the animal becomes poor in vitamin A, however, the liver becomes correspondingly depleted. The depletion of the same organ In vitamin B when the animal Is deprived of an adequate supply of this factor has been demonstrated by Osborne and Mendell.” ‘ : All Agreed He (after a long argumeat)—*"So you see, dear, you misjudged in sayifng that T was making love to that other girl just hecause we were out on the porch.” She—"“All right. 1 believe you.

This dairy was especially designed and was built to make possible a progressive, mechanical and automatic system of handling the product by machinery and under {emperature control, thus assuring that at no stage of the journey through this dairy is the milk and cream touched by human hands. From the receiving vats to the clarifiers, the pasteurizers and the bottling equipment, the mos. modern and approved devices are ir operation. The state inspectors in turn give them a very high rating for its sanitary condition and clean operation. The employees permanently engaged in the business are men specially trained to this end. The name “Wittner” is a household word with a large percentage of South Bend families who have learned to depend upon this dairy for a wholesome, clean and well pasteurized milk supply. The members of this firm are men of the highest standing in the business circles of the community. They take an active part in every movement seeking to promote the welfare of the community as a whole.

| !POLICE KILL MAN AFTER HE . n } HAD KILLED A FELLOW I | WORKMAN ; St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 9.—Taking as | the basis of a blood feud the shooting to death of his buddy, George S. Kingston, three weeks ago, William Owen, 40, of 248 N. Concord St., wreaked vengence upon Arnold Fries (white), 24-year-old fellow worker in the Swift packing plant here, whom he held responsible for Kingston’s death, by fatally knifing him in the dressing-room at the packing plant Friday afterncon while dozens of employees stood by, afraid to intervene. Sub-foreman Leo Fitzgerald, the only one of the onlookers who attempted to forece Owen away from Kris, notified the police when his efforts to stop the knife fight failed. Fries died three hours later in the West Side General hospital. Pursued by police detectives, Owen fled to nearby freight yards, where he defied officers of the law to approach him. He was shot down and died before an ambulanee could reach him. Friend Shot to Death. The trouble started, according to the police story, with a long history of ill feeling between Owen and | Fries, who lived at 286 E. Eighth St. When George S. Kingston, an intimate friend of Owen, was shot | and killed near his home three weeks | ago Owen asserted that Fries had a | hand in the affair. It was known police admit, that Fries was on ill| terms with Kingston, who was emploved at the Swift plant as a fore- | man. Reports alleged that Fries and | Kingston had had several outbreaks, | but when Kingston was shot, the po-; lice insist Fries had nothing to do | with {he murder. | Owen bhelieved otherwise, and the murder of his buddy intensified ihe ill feeling already existing between Owen and Fries. When, at 5:80 Friday afternoon, Owen met Fries in | the dressing-room at the plant he | drew a knife, reports allege, and severely cut Fries about the neck. Em- | ployees standine by made no effort to interfere until Owen had several times wounded the man and disappeared.

A nhm‘ough: search failed to locate the man, amli the police made their way to the! nearby freight yvard, where Owen had hidden. Flashing a gun, Owen warned the policeman not to approach, and as the officers continucd to adavnce Owen opened fire, retreating as he fired. When Owen turned to flee the policemen returned | the fire, pursuing him for half a block before Owen dropped to the | ground, a bullet in his left lung and ! another passing from the rear of his | neck out through the mouth. He died before an ambulance could reach | him. The police assert that Owen has no relatives livine in this see-! tion.

Vessel Construction Marvel of Ingenuity

An achievement like that of the ocean liner which met and survived a gale in which the waves ran 100 feet from trough to crest, represents for the layman an almost incredible tri umph of design, says the New York Herald-Tribune, The unimaginable fury of seas which could break over & bridge 65 feet from the water-line, which could rip away rails and lifeboats, flood the rooms on the upper decks by coming down upon them from above, throw & man through a bulkhead and set the whole ship swash, would seem to be a thing which no fiuman construction could possibly live through. " As a matter of fact, every modern steawmship is a miracle, and almost all of them are successful ones. The loss of a sound vessel in the open sea is of astonishingly rare occurrence, and memory does not recall any Atlantic passenger liner which has been destroyed in a fair fight with the ocean alone. A ship is attacked in two ways. She must withstand the terrific pounding and crushing of the water and of her own welght, and she must be able to recover her balance no matter how long or violent the roll. Vessels have been rolled under In storms—sometimes through fsulty designs, sometimes through the shifting of the cargo ~but it is of rarest occurrence. More often they founder through the weskness of the hull construction—their geams uare opened or their backs broken. But that seldom happens to new ships; it seems never to happen to good oues,

Wrens and Catbirds Had Nests Together A very Interesting and rather unusual incident, showing how neighborly birds may be, happened last spring, writes Elizabeth Frederick in Our Dumb Animals. A friend of mine has a cottage, and there is a certain vine growing close to a window, which is a favorite nesting place with birds. This year two different families, a pair of wrens and & pair of catbirds, de cided to nest here, and so they set about buillding their homes. Strange to say, there was no quarreling over this, but each pair minded its own business, and when their homes were finished, lo and behold! there, perched upon the edge of the good-sized nest of the catbird, was the dainty littie nest of the wren. Never were two familles more. sociable. Together the mothers sat on their eggs, and perhaps they chatted about different things to make the long hours of walting less lonesome. Together the wrens and the catbirds fought the cat and bravely defended their homes, when the babies were hatched, and side by side they ralsed their families and taught them how to fly. Now there is nothing left but the two nests to show this unusual friendship between twe bird families. Unappreciated Worth “It's kind o' discouragin’ to plain usefulness,” said Uncle Eben, “when you notice data good work hoss never gits near as much applause as a trick mule in the circus.”—Washington Star.
