Bureau Maintains Card Index In the archives of the International' Reform Bureau at 206 Pennsylvania Avenue, S. E., Washington, there is a wonderful card index of the business and professional men and women and other citizens of standing of every; town and city in the United States. It was started a quarter of a century ago, with telephone directories as a nucleus," and Dr. Crafts has had a corps of '?? clerks adding to it and classifying the names ever since. It is a sort of Brndstrect of reform,' this index. But, instead of being.rated financially, those whose names it con- I Uins are followed by notations indicat- ! ing their religious affiliations and atti? tude toward moral questions. Let a Senator or Representative show signs of balking at one of Dr. Oafts's measures for the uplift of the imiversc and all those in the index ; among his constituents whose pre- I dilections are supposed to be toward j reform are notified by mail or wire Within a few days the faltering states? man finds himself bombarded with let? ters and telegrams demanding that he support the reverend doctor's bill. More often than not the heiltaUng lawmaker sees t'ne light. Despite the splendid organization of | the blue ?aw advocates their opponents are not altogether without, assistance ' in combating the Puritan Sunday movement. The other day the Knights of Colum- S bus anmmneed that their winter for'im rpeakers throughout the country had I been instructed to deniuince blue laws ! in the snne breath with Red agitation, and yesterday at Trinity Church Dr. : William T. Manning, its rector, de- j c'ared: "The return, by law or other? wise, to the Puritan observance of Sunday would be a calamitous mistake and a great injury to religion." Dr. Manning's utterance recalled the j assertion of Mr. Bowlby to a reporter! that the Protestant Episcopal Church had indorsed the program of the Lord's Day Alliance. This, it was learned, yesterday frr-ni an authoritative source, : seems to be an error. The Episcopal ' Church has never gone on record in \ favor of blue laws and well informell ? churchmen say the sentiment in the denomination is overwhelmingly; against any such legislation. Dr. Manning Discusses Move Dr. Manning in his sermon said in part: "This proposed campaign for stricter ' Sunday laws is one of those well meant but misguided efforts which do harm1 instead of good to the cause they are intended to serve. It is impracticable,; wrong in principle and based on a nar- : row and imperfect conception of the; Chi . '! religion. It ' would do far mor? to drive religion out. of the hearts' of the people than to draw them to- ? ward it. "We have no right to try to compel | religious observance of Sunday by law. ; The law should forbid all unnecessary business on Sunday, and thus as far as possible secure to all their right to Sunday as a day of freedom from their ordinary occupations and of religious! observance if they wish so to use it. Further than this the law may not rightly go. "The present laxity in the observance of, Sunday is due in part to reaction1 from Puritan severity. Even in their j own day and time the Puritan idea of the day was a mistaken and distorted on*:. The Puritans were treat people and the world owes much to them, but thev made mistakes like the rest of us. One of their mistakes was that, they took too severe and gloomy a view of life and religion. "The observance of Sunday is based, not en Sinai, but on the resurrection of Christ on the first day of the week. The Christian church changed the day from Saturday to Sunday and at the same time, changed the idea of the day from one of severity and restraint to one of freedom and gladness. Church Has No Detailed Rules "As to recreations and amusements on Sunday, the Christian Church has never laid down any rules in detail, though individuals and groups have done so. The Church gives us the great principle that this is ?he Lord's day and leaves us to apply it accord? ing to our own consciences and circum "I'.i the interest both of Sunday ob ser . ? e and religion v.*c n? ed to get ewae from the Puritan idea of Sun d ??. We need especially to avoid mak? ing the day one of irksome restraint for our young people or making them believe they are committing sin if they " in wholesome and innocent an* isements. "The church must not only allow but encourage wholesome games and sports on Sunday and the clergy, wherever this is possible, should take part in ?him. At Camp Unton I used to attend tin baseball games on Sunday after? noon whenever I could and 1 certainly did not feel my worship at other hours was any worse for doing so. "It is not always easy to say where the line is to be drawn, but two simple rules will guide us sufficiently. We ' should, of course, not allow our recrea turns and amusements to interfere with our worship and we should on .- mday not encourage those particular iii'ms of amusement which are com? mercialized and which needlessly oblige large numbers of people to work and deprive them of their right to :- n "But we must make it clear that the Christian religion does not stand for petty restraints and restrictions, for gloom and severity, but for gladness and freedom and all that adds to the r.oodni-ss of life. It is this we need to ? lp oar young people, not any revival < f the Puritan Sunday." Opera Premiere Becomes Rehearsal ; Blues Feared The first sign of real activity in the speeded up campaign of the Lord's ; Day Alliance came last night, when I what had been announced as the pre? miere of French opera comique at the , Belmont Theater was turned into a j "final rehearsal." A big audience of men and women i found the front of the house dark 'when they arrived. An attach?' stood , on the sidewalk announcing that it ' was the Belmont Theater and directing i the surprised patrons down an alley at the side. They enterca by an exit I door. Attendance was limited to persons j who had subscribed in advance, so that no risk was run of admitting any one who might have started something in ! the interest of Sunday law enforce ' ment. The performance was under the auspices of the French Art Circle, Tee management admitted that it : had been notified by some organization devoted to strict Sabbath observance that Sunday opera would not be toler ; ated. and that the provision? of the existing stHte law would be invoked if i an attempt were made to produce it. It was insist",!, however, by the '? spokesman for the French Art Circle. Lthat last night's performance had never been intended ?s anything else except 'a rehearsal, and that none save ?mem? bers of the circle were in the audience. Notwithstanding this explanation, I the French Art Circle announced through the newspapers about two weeks ago that the initial performance of opera comique would be staged at the Belmont last night, it is under? stood it was this announcement that i led the strict Sabbath advocates to j serve notice that they wouid move to prevent it. Farmers Will Urge Credit to Germany To Buy U. S. Goods Federation to Take Up Issue ! at Indianapolis Conven- j lion: Opening,of Foreign i Markets Solution to Slump I I From Thr Tribune's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON', Nov. 28.?Extension ; of credit to Germany and associated , European countries for the purchase of I the surplus supplies of food and raw : products in the. United State3 will be Btrongly advocated by organized agri? culture at the American Farm Bureau Federation convention in Indianapolis next week. Coincidently, the conven? tion will discuss the plans broached for making this credit available. "We must open up our usual and natural outlets for cotton, wool, grain ^and meats if we are to relieve the present disastrous economic situation which lias already cut the farmers' in? come far below the cost of production and is rapidly reacting to close the shops and factories and throw millions out of employment," said Gray ?Silver, Washington representative of the fed? eration, in a. statement issued to-day. ?^ No Surplus Crop Production "There is no real surplus crop pro? duction in this country to-day," Mr. Silver asserted. "With the exception of corn, potatoes and apples the total production of most of the important farm crops is under the five-year aver? age. Domestic and European demands have, of course, taken a decided slump recently, but one of our big troubles is that some of our ncfrmal outlets are closed. Of the 9,000,000 bales of cot? ton normally exported before the war ?{,000,000 bales went to Germany. Now that the after-the-war boom has sub? sided the absence of this pre-war mar? ke? is making itself keenly felt. "Wool is another commodity which strikingly illustrates the need of the German market. The large accumula? tion of coarse wool stocks appears to be a direct result of the inability of the central European countries to buy their former quotas. Fine wools which never depended upon Germany and Aus? tria- for a market have no considerable surplus, although the present price is ruinously low, due to the pressing ef? fect of the large surplus of coarse wools. Mast Open Foreign Market "Abundant evidence is accumulating to prove that the opening of foreign markets is the real key to the solution of our present economic ills and objec? tion to an extension of credit to for? eign countries to permit them to buy such of our products as they badly need is becoming less each day. Peo? ple are beginning to ask whether it might not. be bettor to take a chance on losing a billion or so in Central Europe rather than to go through a period of inaction and non-production in this country, while every one is waiting for prices to touch bottom." Xc? mere banking arrangement to facilitate the transmission of goods would suffice, Mr. Silver said. What must be provided, he said, was real money or credit. In this connection, he added, not only would the gov? ernment be able to make the loar quicker than a banking syndicate but it would be better able to protect its interests abroad than a private enter? prise. Moreover, he asserted, the gov? ernment might be justified in taking the risk involved in the transactior. which a private concern would hesitate to accept. Says 1 Million Gals. Rum Is Withdrawn Each Month j Anti-Saloon League Plans Figh! for Stricl Enforcement of the Permit System Front The Tribune's Washington Bun-mi WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-?The Anti ! Saloon League announced to-day tha ! i*. proposed to abolish so-callec medicinal preparations that are beint ; sold as proprietary medicines, but an being consumed as alcoholic bever ages by persons who have felt tlv oinch of the Eighteenth Amendment Wayne B.

'?Formerly there were about 800,00' . gallons a month of liquors withdraw; : for non-beverage purposes; to-day i has reached the alarming amount o 4.000,000 gallons a month." said Mi ' Wheeler. "It is time to call a ha! n this by most stringent administra tion and enforcement of the permi system." ' The bureau has been urged t change its standard in determinin what is an alcoholic preparation "un : ? for beverage use." as the burea ? as in the past adopted the standar i that one dose of a medicament adde to one fluid ounce of the preparatio tikes the liquid unfit for beverag : ,-. There are many medicines whic ; in that proportion would not be unii for beverage use, the Anti-Saloo League contends. The liquid might be a little les pleasant, but still a perfectly goo ?ubstitute for alcoholic liquor, M Wheeler said to-day. It is contenue 1 that the experience from the sale c the liquids in question should be tak?1 , into consideration and given even mot . tfeight than any theory presented b i a chemical formula. It is expected b the Anti-Saloon League that maty c i these proprietary medicines will b driven from the market. Many hav I changed their formulas in the last fe , months, Mr. Wheeler said. Drought Checks Work in German Industrial Zon Low Water Interrupts Shipment of Coal; Many Plants Forced to Run on Short Shifts Special Cable to The Tribune Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc. BERLIN, Nov. 28.?Germany ht been practically without rain for tl last two month.3 and the effects of tl drought have been registered in tl ?almost unparalleled low water level tl ,. Rhine.

Women Voters Plan to Clean House in Cities Mrs. Upton Declares Municipal Governments Are in Need of l?eform From The Tribune's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.?The woman vote in the last election was the con? servative vote, in the opinion of Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, vice-chairman of the executive committee of the Re? publican National Committee. The women will have a steadying influence in politics, Mrs. Upton declared, and she predicted the next step to be taken by the women voters would be in clean? ing house in municipal elections throughout the country next year. "The interest of American women in political matters is now nation wide," said Mr3. Upton. "Women's activities during the recent campaign accentuated their interest in political work and i*?ve given them a new zeal for that sort of thing that is growing rapidly. "Lot3 of folks were apprehensive abcut the woman vote. Of course, we knew such people were foolish, but tnere were lots of them. "Looking back we now see that the women played not only a conspicuous part in the recent campaign, but con? tributed more than ?their share to the final great victory. The truth is. women surprised the men folks by vot? ing with fine and conservative judg i: ent. In fact, the woman vote was a conservative vote. The vote o? woman in this election was more con? servative on the whole than that ol the men. "The next step taken by women gen erally will be in the municipal eleC' tiens soon to occur. Some of these oc? cur in the spring, others not until the following fall. It is generally concede, that the worst governments and tin worst institutions of government ii the United States are in our cities There, is no better place to start clean UP proceedings than in the cities.

Plan to Regulate Standard Oil Stock Price for Workers - Directors Propose to Fix ?Value for Purchases on January 1 Each Yealr; Limits Are Made The price at which the proposed new issue of $10,000,000 common stock of the Standard Oil Company is to be offered under the profit-sharing plan, j announced last week, ?3 to be fixed on January 1 each year. In the call i for a special meeting of stockholders on December 20 to approve the pian C. T. White, secretary of the com? pany, states, however, that "such price shall not be above nor more than 10 per cent Delow the average market price of the stock for the previous i three months. The price so fixed .shall ? govern as to all such purchases dur? ing the year. Provided, however, that in no case shall the price be fixed - below the par value of the stock." In the plan of the directors for in ' creasing the authorized amount of common st?jck from $100,000,000 to $110,000,000 to enable employees to subscribe to the stock it was provided that the par value of the shares would be reduced from $100 to $25 a share. By this means it was felt by the Stand? ard Oil management that the price of the -'..are- would be cut to a ievel which would make it practicable for the company's workers to subscribe. "The purposes of the plan," says the company, "shall be effected through the establishment and opera -ion of a fund, n? be constituted by joint deposits by the employees, the company and its subs?.?iiar:es. To such deposits shall be added whatever in? terest is earned by*the fund and what? ever dividends are received from stocks held therein. "The fund shall be administered by three trustees, to be appointed by the h - ' of direct -r*. which boird sha1' at all times have power of removal and substitution. The berm employee means any person who on Deccwb'." 20, 1920, or on the 30th dav of P - cember m any year during wie exis* ence of the plan, has bt-en it? the regular and intinuous employ of* tito company or uny of its subsidiaries or who has been actively engaged in the conduct of its or their business for the term of one year or more, and in? cludes officers and directors. "Any employee may become a pa: ticipant in the fund by making' de? posits therein in the following man? ner: He shall authorize the companv or the subsidiary by whom he is em? ployed to deduct from the amount due him as current compensation for set vices on each pay day, whether month? ly or otherwise, a sum not in exce.-s of 20 per cent thereof, and to pay the same over to the trustees, to be place?! ih the fund to his credit; which de? duction and payment over shall there? upon be made. Concurrently with the making of any such deposit by or on behalf of an employee, the con* pany, or the subsidiary by which he is employed, shall, out of its own moneys, pay into the fund to the fur? ther credit of such employee, a stint equal to BO per cent of his deposit."

Socony gasoline is made and tested in ac? cordance with the most recent standards of accuracy?insuring uniform cleanness, constant mileage to every gallon and ab? solute dependability. It will pay you to discriminate in buying gasoline. Socony is a straight-refinery gasoline. It vaporizes quickly, but it is more than a mere easy-starting fuel. Owners of large motor truck fleets use Socony regularly because it is uniformly high-powered and clean-burning. Socony dealers take a pardonable pride in the product they sell and we take an equal pride in them?their fairness, courtesy and reliability. Always look for the red, white and blue Socony sign.
