Sunday. ,
CHILDREN TO SING

, at Broadway Methodist
Church.
All the Columbia churches will have
special Christmas features next Sun
day morning. The general Idea this
year is that of giving instead ot re
ceiving, so the entertainments for 'the
young people will be different from
the usual program.
The Baptist Sunday School will
have an entertainment ot songp and
recitations by the children 'aUie reg-J
mar ouuuay oguwi num. caui
child will bring some gift of hi, own
for some poor child in Cofefebla.
Regular services with special-fcusic
by the choir will be held In the'morn
lng and evening.
The Christian Church will give en
tertainments in each department. The
primary department will have songs
and recitations by the children fol
lowed by a Christmas tree. The junior
program will include songs and reci
tations. In the senior department, a
musical program will be given,- con
sisting of selections by the Sunday
School orchestra and solo numbers.
At the regular services, morning and
evening, the choir will give special
music.
The Sfcnday School and' choir at the
Presbyterian Church will give a joint
entertainment called "White Gifts for
The King." All members of the Sun
day School and choir will be dressed
in white uniforms, and the church
will be decorated in white. The
mnsic will consist of Christmas
carols. There will be a special of
fering for a scholarship fund for the
school or the Ozarks, to which the
Presbyterian Church regularly con
tributes. One hundred dollars is
needed for this work now, but part
of it has been raised.
The Catholic Church will have low
mass at 5 o'clock and high mass at 10
O'clock. There will be special music.
"Holy Night" will be sung by -the
choir before service, then Roscwig's
Mass. and then the offertory, "Adeste
Fidelis." by Novclo. After the sermon
benediction of the blessed sacrament
will be followed by the Te Deum.
The Methodist Church will have a
special musical program at the Sun
day School hour. Songs and recita
tions will be given by the children,
and they will have treats of nuts,
oranges and molasses candy. There
will te no gifts. During the program,
a service flag will be raised to the
memory of the men in the church who
have gone into national service.
There will be a star in the flag for
each name and under the flag will
be hung a scroll containing the list
of names, and the name of the branch

NEED W03IEN IN WAR WORK
Mr. Fairchild, ns Head of Women's.
Work In Count, Has Circulars.
Mrs. A. H. R. Fairchild, chairman
for Boone County in the Women's
Division ot the National Defense
Council, has just received a number.
of bulletins and circulars on the need
for women in war work.
One bulletin on nursing contains a
message from the General Medicine
Board calling for 20,000 trained
women ready to enter the Red Cross
hospitals.
Another bulletin calls for 150 tele
phone operators who have a speak
ing knowledge of both French and
English. This is an opening for stu
dents who have specialized in French
and the only additional training
necessary will be a short time, prob
ably two months, spent in a telephone
office, with the operator drawing pay
all the time.
For those women who hae taken
special work in teaching there Is a
ready opening in the work of re-educating
the handicapped soldiers
those men who have been too badly
wounded, maimed, blinded or deaf
ened in the trenches to continue their
regular occupations after the war. In
connection with this is the need for
social workers both here and abroad.
Another great need Is for women
in the clerical positions vacated all
over the country by men called Into
service. This need Is especially
great in Washington, so an appeal i
has been sent out for 1,200 clerks,
typists and bookkeepers. These posi
tions are under civil service regula
tions and the necessary examinations I
can be taken here. j
Mrs. Fairchild will be glad to an- '
swer any questions about the work
and copies of these bulletins can be I
obtained from her. She especially
urges all upper classmen to consider
this work as an opening for them to
fill when they leave school.
15-Ycar-Old Girl Is Jlarrled.

EVIOEM'E IX GAS CASE TAKEN
Company Ghen 10 Days lo Submit a
Written Argnment.
George S. Starrett, city attorney,
returned today from Jefferson City,
where he presented the evidence for
the city in the appeal of the Colum
bia Gas Company to return to Its for
mer rates. Evidence was taken by
the Public Utilities Commission on
both sides of the question.
The gas company was given ten
days to submit a written argument
presenting its claims, and then the
city will have the following ten days
to refute these arguments and pre
sent the opposite side of the case.
3Ir. Starrett is of the opinion that a
decision will not bo rendered in less
than twenty-five or thirty days.
The gas company claims that In tho
ten months since tho reduction of
rates went into effect it has made a
net profit of only 1 per cent, In
stead of a fair profit of 7 per cent
They say this Is partly because of the
reduction of rates and the Increased
I prices of oil and coke, which have
J nearly doubled.
j The elty claims that the gas com
, pany has had an increased output of
1 2,000,000 cubic feet during the ten
(months the new rates have been in
effect. This increase, the city claims,

FLEET CORPORATION
MANAGER
Rear Admiral Harris Quits
Charles Piez, Chicago.
Is Successor.
SHIPS ARE RUSHED
Total of 8.395.308 Dead
Weight Tons Ts Now
Under Construction.
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. Further
re-organization of the Government
ship building organization was an
nounced today with the resignation
of Rear-Admiral Harris as general
manager of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and the appointment of
Charles Piez of Chicago to succeed
him. A general re-organlzatlon of
the fleet corporation will follow.
Rear-Admiral Bowles, aid to Admiral
Harris, will be, given an important
place In the new organization.
James Heyworth will take full
charge of the wooden ship construc
tion work, and Charles Day will be
come manager of the protection de
partment. Admiral Harris, upon the return of
Admiral Capps on December 1, on ac
count of ill health, was designated
general manager. Chairman Hurley
In a prepared statement said: "While
the re-organlzatlon was In progress,
he suggested to me that the Emergen
cy Fleet Corporation be moved to
Philadelphia. I suggested that. In a
matter of this kind involving policy
as well as possible legislative ap
proval, the matter would have to be
submitted to the board of trustees, as
it would in any corporation to the
board of directors.
Wanted to Spend Sum for Housing:
"Admiral Harris also wanted to
give his immediate approval to an ex
penditure of ,12,000,000 for housing
operators connected with the ship
yards. This being a departure from
the corporation's function of ship
building, I felt that the trustees
should pass upon it -Admiral Harris
then expressed his opinion that his
authority was to be limited and he
would be able to render more service
elsewher.
"Underlying the .reorganization,.,
which had been completed, was the de
sire to bring the fleet corporation
closer to the ship yards. 3Ir. Day,
for instance, surveyed with 3Ir. Piez,
in a personal visit of the production
committee to the ship yards, the ac
tual construction conditions and as
certained how the program could be
speeded up. 3Ir. Day then went to
England, where he made an extensive
Investigation into conditions which
prevailed In the ship yards there. The
result of his re-organization is a par
ent in all the yards. Lloyds has just
made a report which has been care
fully checked up and which shows
that there Is a better basis for op
timism than there has been at any
time since the emergency program
was launched.
Ships Building Being Speeded Up.
"Conditions on the Pacific coast
hae so improved that records are be
ing broken in the speed with which
ships are being turned out The re
port to Admiral Bowles shows that
construction work is progressing as
fast as human labor can turn it out.
The plans of last 3Iay have been
translated Into hulls on the ship ways
and Into shirs on the seas.
"We are close to the point where
the results of what has been done
will be apparent to everyone," said
Admiral Bowles. The carefully
checked figures of Admiral Bowles
show 8,395.308 dead weight tons un
der construction.
