Dr. Charles H. Sears, su perintendent of the Baptist City Mission society. "Every year men die of loneli ness here,” he told an audience in the Mission Avenue Baptist •church recently. "No foreign field offers a great er opportunity for missionary workers than Manhattan, both be cause of its vice and its loneli ness,” he added. NEW FASHIONS IN OLD NAMES Fashions in Christian names are Changing. Pamela, according to a London clergyman, is the name of the moment in England. "I have been looking through my parish magazine of twenty years ago,” he remarked. “I find in the baptismal entries that Muriel, Gladys, Daisy, Madge, Marjorie, Doris, Ethel and Maud are favorite names. ' "Just before the war there was a great revival of old-fashioned names —Mary, Elizabeth, Caroline, Ann, Prudence, Jane, Priscilla, Margaret. Beautiful names from the Bible, such as Rachel, Deborah, Dorcas and Naomi and so on were very popu lar. “Now,” the clergyman continued with a smile, “all the modern young mothers want to have their girls called Pamela. What set the fashion I don’t know —perhaps it was cer tain novel whose heroine was called Pam. Joan is another favorite. Penelope is liked, but when such a lovely name is attached to a Grub or an Onion I fear for the future of the unfortunate child. “Boys’ names,” he added, “change ven’ little. Parents do not go to Greek mythology or tb sentimental novels for ideas for their sons’ names. John, William, Richard and Harold are as beloved by parents today as they were by the parents ofr twenty years ago.”—Edinburgh Scotsman. _______ Alabama Baptists Establish Records During Past Year MONTGOMERY, Ala. — (Special)— Albama Baptists reported the great est year in the history of the church in Alabama when the state Baptists held their annual convention at De catur Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. D. F. Green, secretary treasurer of the state Baptist mis sion board, has completed his report which caused as much surprise among Baptists as among persons connected with other religious or ganizations. Total collections of the organiza tion during the year were $781,564.54, which is three times the amount ever collected before in Alabama in any one year. These collections cover state missions, home missions, for eign missions, benevolences and edu cation. The report alsq showed that the Baptists are the largest church in the state, the tota' membership, in cluding negroes, being about 575,000. , —The annual meeting of the board of missions was held /Monday night, i while the first session of the con vention convened Tuesday. New York City has an area of 320 square miles, which indicates that her average distribution of popula tion is 17,500 persons to the square mile.

I * “Shimmy” and Bathing Suits Stir Up Squabble in Village NEW' YORK.—TVhen the Broad way theater, in the village of Nyach, N. Y., staged a beauty con test, it stirred up a sensation. Nyack’s citizenry is still busy issu ing statements of protest. The ex citement grew out of the ambitions of four Nyack high school girls and two who are not in school to be come movie actresses. The theater had issued an an nouncement, saying: “Here’s your chance. Become a movie star. Op portunity offered to local boys and girls to actually work before a camera. Movies taken on the stage at Broadway theater, Nyack, N. Y.” Mute Girls to Compete On other pages of the invitation it was explained that a company had t.rranged to present local tal ent in a stage production and to take pictures of them as they per formed. The six aspiring maidens were Ethel’ Lyons, Mary Merritt, Marion Robertson. Edith LSWis, Estelle Gaynor and Shirley Bailey. Miss Robertson and Miss Bailey are not in school. They reported early and rehearsed their parts. On the big evening standing room was at a premium in the Bfbadway theater. The management offered prizes to the three who could best stand the three required tests for histrionic ability, “for grace, for form and for control.” Th» Girls Appear The prologue was a parade led by two husky boys, Henry Leeds and Edgar Bennett, tackles on the high school football team, who wore bathing suits and appeared as life guards. The ■ six amateur bath ing beauties followed, some in tights and some in bathing suits. The crowd of spectators is quoted as having said “A-TPah.” Grace was the first quality to be tested, and the spectators were to be the judges, showing by applause the verdict. The aspirants came upon the stage one by one and danced. There was much applause. The winner was hard to pick. Form was the next on the pro gram. Each came out and stood on the stage until her meed of ap plause was exhausted. It w’as a close race. They Do the “Shimmy.” It turned out that the control sought was muscular control. A special platform was placed on the stage’s center and individually the girls came and stood upon it. The “shimmy” was the test for this quality. As the bathing beauties showed their proficiency the spec tators cheered. When the control test was just begun and the first of the girls ■rfas about to climb to the platform the Rev. Mr. Sartell Prentice, pas tor of the Dutch Reformed church, was led into the theater by his young son. Before the third num ber of the act had begun the Rev. Mr. Prentice had led his son out of the theater. Later, he made the fol lowing statement: * “I went to see a picture my son thought was good. When the first girl came out I thought there was some mistake When the second came out I it was no mis take and I promptly left. It is ex tremely unfortunate that such a thing occurred in Nyack. It would be bad enough with professionals, but with unsophisticated high school girls of reputable families —” • Show Goes On The show went on. Prizes were won by Miss Lyons, Miss Merritt and Miss Robertson. Protests have been made by well known The Rev. J. R. Latham, pastor of the Old Stone church, has issued a statement pro testing “against the display made by young girls of Nyack in the Broad way theater. English scientists have found that glass can be permanently tinted by immersion in the hot mineral waters of Bath, famous health resort. According to French investigators, rubber is subject to microbe attacks unless kept in perfectly dry air. A cover for sewer outlets has been invented that prevents the entrance of rats or other animals. At Lisle, N. Y., a shovel is kept at a certain muddy cross-walk for the convenience of the pedestrians. In Payta, Peru, the interval be tween showers is about seven days.

He recently ar rived from England for a tour of in spection of the army in Canada and the United States. Eva Booth is com mander of the Salvation Army in this country. 10.

Day Is Past When Young Millionaires Live in Idleness The rich man’s son of twenty or even ten years ago, who loved to frolic with father’s money and the police, is but a memory now. In his place stands the rich man’s son who is learning his father’s business from the ground up. Most of the rich men’s sons of today are quiet, studi ous chaps, who served their country in France and were brought in close contact with the “other fellow.” Many of them are married. Typical of the rich man’s son of today are W. A. Harriman, son of the late E. H. Harriman, and Junius S. Morgan, son of the late J. P. Morgan. These two young men have plunged into the ranks of big busi ness after a thorough training at the bottom. Gnggenheims Follow Mining Two of the younger Guggenheim generation, Robert and Edmund Gug genheim, have plunged into the min ing business, which broffght fame and fortune to the seven Guggen heim brothers. The list might be extended almost indefinitely. It might include Vincent Astor, heir to the Astor millions and now one of the shrewdest real estate opera tors in New York City. It might include Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., who, via the newspaper route, is de veloping into a writer. The list might include all of a half a hundred or so yo'ung men who are not letting the fact that fathers or grandfathers were lucky enough to amass a fortune stop them from be coming successful business men themselves. And any one who thinks he can trade hordes with any one of them ’ and get the better horse will probably find that the chip off the old block sometimes is as tough, in a business deal, as the old block itself.

Remember the Young American who didn’t like pumpkin pie because it disagreed with his ears’ We’re all that way to a certain ex tent, but party manners restrain us. And Thanksgiving dinner does call for pumpkin pie. Nesselrod pudding and dainty parfaits fulfil their mis sion at many a dinner, but pumpkin pi© touches the spot in the hearts and Appetites of every citizen. . Traditional Spirit Our Thanksgiving day is so essen tially an American family-day that the dinner may well have the in formal, homely ( t° uc rt- “From soup to nuts” the feast best preserves the traditional spirit of the day by its simplicity and abundance. Ever since the Pilgrim Fathers digrtified the wild turkey by provid ing it for their first Thanksgiving, we have accepted it as the national bird for the day. So even if turkey is expensive why not serve it and subordinate the rest of the meal to it? The cost will be the same in the end. Let all the other things to eat be merely filling, supplying the “homely traditional spirit.” Highly flavored appetizers, elaborate salads and desserts/ really have no place in the Thanksgiving dinner. Menu for Thanksgiving Dinner Consomme Roast Turkey Cranberry Sauce Mashed ' Potatoes Giblet Gravy Creamed Onions Celery Home-made Pickles Pumpkin J*ie * Raisins' Nuts My Own Becipes The centerpiece for the Thanks giving table may be an attractively arragned dish of fruits and nuts. Shiny red apples, golden oranges, white and Tokay grapes placed in a silver or cut glass bowl will the largest mums and be useful as well as ornamental. Or instead oi the usual bowl use a pumpkin shell. A big pumpkin, cut in half with the top scalloped, filled to overflowing with fruits and traily vines from the woods could not be criticized by the most artistic guest. Bittersweet berries are in tneir prime the last* of November and give a gorgeous bit of color arranged in a basket with pine branches. A big basket of these in a rather dark cor ner of the living room suggests a ray of sunshine. Boast Turkey Choose an 8 or 10-pound hen turkey. If you are serving so many people that this size /ill not be enough, use two birds rather one bigger one. The meat of turkey is not as tender or fine flavored as that of a small one. After the turkey has been cleaned, stuffed and trussed, rub the entire surface with salt. Work 5 table spoons of butter with 3 tablespoons of flour and spread over the breast, legs and wings. Put on the rack in a self-basting roaster in a hot oven for 20 minutes. The flour should begin to brown. Reduce heat and add 1 1-2 cups of hot water. When this water cooks away aao more water and butter and baste the turkey with a spoon. s If a self-basting roaster is not used the turkey should be steam ed for an hour before roasting Steam and then stuff and rub witl butter and fiour and roast a. usual. The giblets are cooked sep arately and the water used for gravy. When the giblets are tender, put through the food chopper and strain the gravy over them. A P’ain bread stuffing is always acceptable with turkey. Stuffing 2 1-2 cups stale soft bread crumbs 1-2 cup melted butter 1 teaspoon salt 1-2 teaspoon pepper 1-2 teaspoon sage (optional) hot water Use just enough water to hold the crumbs together. An egg is not: necessary if the stuffing is to be eaten hot. It’s the pumpkin pie that kin pump the thanks into Thanksgivinr MARY. No Room in Jail For This Prisoner MARTINSBURG, W. Va. "Si long, judge. I’ll show up when they’re ready to take me,” and Dr Harper Judy, 66 years old, drug ad diet, walked out of the federal court to await the time when he will be sent to serve six months in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., for selling drugs to other addicts. When the case came up before Judge Wood, the court learned the town jail could accommodate no more prisoners, so the judge allowed the prisoner to enjoy his liberty un- i tft sent to the penitentiary. ADORNED SKULLS WITH GEMS A human skull encrusted with tur quoises recently was dug up near Mount Chalchihuiti, twenty miles from Santa Fe, N. M. That the gems had been set in the bone after death was evident, because there was no sign of osseous growth about the in sets. A number of other skulls sim ilarly adorned have been found in this region. They are thought by ■ scientific,men to be the craniums of an ancient race of cliff dwellers. Mount Chalchihuiti is honey combed with the shafts and tunnels of prehistoric turquoise mines. Im mense quantities of rock were re moved by these ancient miners work ing with crude instruments. These old tunnels are now called the Won der Caves. The mountain into which they bore is full of turquoise. Veins of turquoise two inches thick may be seen zigzagging across their falls of good bearing quartz. Why the skulls of their dead were decorated by the anc ent aboriginal tribes of the southwest is not known, but it is believed they attributed some supernatural quality of good luck to the ''turquoise.—New York Tribune. ’ With Back Broken He Hopes for Life PHILADELPHIA.—EncIosed in a concrete cast and patiently smiling, E. Delevan McLean, of Binghamton, N. Y., war veteran whose back was broken in France soon after the armi stice was signed. He’s here in the Presbyterian hospital looking for ward to the day two weeks hence when an exceedingly delicate opera 'tien may restore the use of his limbs. The three surgeons who are plan ning the operation are Dr. J. E. Sweet, of the University of Pennsyl vania, research staff; Dr. W. B. Cad walalder, noted neurologist, and Dr. Charles R. Frazier. An odd coinci dence is that Dr. Cadwalader, w2>o served with the A. E. F. was on the scene of the accident in which Mc- Lean’s back was broken, and learned of it for the first time ouly recently when he was called into consulta tion. McLean was hurt when ope of the rear wheels came off a motor truck he was driving at high speed near Colombey-les-Belles. He was hurled out and his back broken.

HISTORIC DOCUMENTS IN UNCLE SAM'S HANDS Uncle Sam is not especially inter ested in autographs, but in his big library at Washington he has a good many letters and papers sign ed by some of his most distinguish ed nephews. All these manuscripts, which were not well cared for un til a few years ago, are now intel ligently classified and preserved. Tfiere are twenty-five thousand documents of importance. The Washington papers are the most valuable. They include docu ments written and received by the first president, the reports from the secret service agents during the Revolution, letters from Rocham beau and state papers. The John Paul Jones papers fill e'ght volumes of the special kind of letter file in which the national collection is kept. There are thirty-five volumes con taining the proceedings of the com mission formed for inquiring Into the losses, services and claims of American loyalists. Another inter esting colonial relic is of . much ear lier date, the record of the Vir ginia company covering the years of 1619 and 1624. New England is well represented. Mayor Peter 'Forca, of Washington, sold his great collection to the government The west is represent ed by the literary remains of School craft, secretary to General Lewis Cass, and some papers and letters of Cass himself. Uncle Sam has also the letter books of President Monroe, kept while he was our minister at Lon don, the papers of General John Sullivan, the letter books of General Nathanael Greene and the papers of Colonel Ephraim Baine. Redskins Move to New Hunting Grounds Led by their chief, Tony Tommy, the remaining largest single group of Seminole Indians, soon will move from their old haunts near Palm Beach, Fla., to a new reservation on the. Florida west coast, about 40 miles from Fort Myers. The new home of the Semlnoles will consist of a reservation of ap proximately 21,000 acres, completely fenced in and including a partion of the Everglades. Although part of the reservation is under water, the arable portion is sufficient to sup port the Indians with land to spare. The Seminoles in their new home will be provided with schools and they have agreed to submit to com pulsory education laws. May Be This Democrat Is Sorry He Won BELVIDERE, N. Y.—Harry Run yan, mayor of this city, the lone Democrat elected to the lower house of the New York legislature, will get plenty of work. He necessarily will be the minority’s candidate for speaker of the house and automati cally will become minority leader. In addition, Runyan must serve as minority member on 49 house com mitters. He will have to lead the opposition to all partisan measures fostered by the Republicans and to make all the speeches in the house for the Democrats.
