? Babies of Working Mothers
Cared For.
Plans are being completed by the
officers and members of the Friendship
House Association for beginning No
vember 1 an active campaign for ad
ditional members of the association in
order to meet the pressing demand for
additional funds with which to main
tain Friendship House, a well estab
lished sopial center at 324'Virginia ave
nue southeast. ?.
The membership of the association
now numbers 630 men and women, and
it Is the aim of the officers- to have
every member bring in' at least two
additional members before December
1. The plans drawn up include the
division of the members into teams of
twenty-five each to get new members.
Henry P. Blair is president of t.ie
Friendship House Association. Mrs. H.
B. F. Macfarland is first <rn j president.
James "YV. Clift is second vice president,
Mrs. W. G. Stuart is secretary, Ellis
Spear is treasurer. Mrs. Kirk Huirrr?es is
financial secretary and Miss l^ydia A.
Burklin is the head worker in active
charge of Friendship House.
Grows as Social Center.
For a number of years Friendship
House has grown as a social center in
Southeast Washington, largely through
the active help and co-operation of the
people in the neighborhood, who have
come to use-it as a community meeting
place for all kinds of purposes. A total
of $.'1,j<X) a . year is now necessary to
maintain it.
Through the various activities for which
Friendship House has come to be used
the people ir}tere.sted. iu . it believe that
a great deal of good work has been
done toward providing means for people
of limited resources to remain independ
ent of outside help and at the same time
have the conviction that they are open
ing new possibilities for their children.
Children Are Cared For.
One of the principal uses to which
Friendship House is put is that of a
day nursery.- * Mothers who have work
to do, or who are sick, are invited to
leave their children at Friendship House
dicing the day, and even at night, in
case of sickness. Not only babies, but
children of school age, are looked after
in this way. It is estimated that an av
erage of eighteen children a day have
been left by their mothers at the house
during the last year.
A milk station is also maintained at
the house and an average of twenty
children a day are supplied with modified
milk in this way. All pay something, but
few pay the full price of the milk, which
is high. In connection with the milk sta
tion. the advice of a physician and u
trained nurse are constantly at the dis
posal of mothers.
A plan is now on foot to establish a
Montessori method school at the house
this winter under the auspices of the
Montessori Educational association. By
this means it is aimed to give assistance
to all the mothers who desire the school
ing for their children.
Housekeeping Taught.
At Friendship House girls are taught
scientific housekeeping and practical home
hygiene and sanitation, to enable them
to be able to rfialntain healthful, well
kept homes In the future, and there are
other classes where girls are being taught
music, sewing, ertibroidering and other
things which will make them happier and
more useful.
The Y. M. C. A. permits the use of
the building formerly used by its
southeast branch by Friendship House
as a gymnasium, where ' several hun
dred young men and women and girls
and boys are enabled to keep in good
condition physically. At this gym
nasium and through clubs and classes
wholesome amusements are taught in
an informal way.
The adults of the neighborhood have
' come to use the house its a meeting
! place for many purposes, and many of
them contribute liberally to its sup
port, both by giving money and giving
work.
Miss Burklin's Purpose.
Miss Burklin. the head worker, her
self actively interested in a practical
way in the children of the neighbor
hood, aims to throw an atmosphere of
a real community center around Friend
ship House and has always Insisted
that a real spirit of democracy rule
there.
The building in which the house is
located is one of the oldest structures
in the city, but has been kept in good
repair without being elaborate in any
way. A branch library of the Public
Library provides the house with good
books of all kinds.

Episcopalians Close Sessions

BISHOPRIC FOR NEGROES
ONE POINT OF ISSUE
W. C. T. U. Request for Unferment
ed Grape Juice for Commu
nion Flatly Refused.
NEW YORK. October lo?The general
i convention of 13K> of the Protestant
Episcopal Cliurch passed into history this
afternoon in hopeless deadlock on two
important resolutions, with the most far
reaching topic of legislation before it
unconsidered by one house because of an
error in the other, and with a positive re
fusal to consider a request- of the
Woman's Christian Temperance 'Union
that unfermented grape juice be substi
tuted for wine in the communion service.
On the proposal to establish a separate
bishopric for negroes in the south and
on th?? proposed elimination of the words
"Jews. Turks, infidels and heretics" from
the Good Friday collect, the house of
Dishops and the house of deputies were
deadlocked. On the proposal to require
a two-thirds vote to' change the name
of the church, adopted by the deputies,
the bishops refused to act because the
resolution was sent to them only yester
day, while it was. adopted by the lower
houso more; than two weeks ago.
Lay Hidden on Desk.
For two weeks the draft of this radical
measure lay at the bottom of a pile of
waste paper on the secretary s desk. Its
presence there- was not detected until yes
terday. In the entire membership of the
house of deputies not one man drtamed
that the rAsorutron* waS" not before the
bishops for action.
"I assume full bhime for the trouble,"
announced the assistant secretary, the
Rev. Carroll M. Davis, dean of Trinity
Cathedral. St. Louis. "It was my busi
ness to see that this resolution was sent
j to^the bishops- I thought it had been,
I sent I was astounded to find it on m> j
desk yesterday, and sent it over at once
to the other house.
The bishops, however, declined to con
sider the measure in the few remaining
hours of the convention They so notified
the deputies today. A committee of dep
uties was then appointed by the chairman
to request the ' bishops'to take the mat
ter up nevertheless, but the chances of
success, it was said, were infinitesimal.
Push Prayer Book Action.
Although the house of deputies in the
closing moments of Its session tried to
force definite action at this convention
on the resolution requiring a two-thirds
vote to make a change in the Prayer
Book, the effort failed. The committee
appointed to confer with the bishops re
ported that the latter declined to take
any action in the matter at the late
hour. The deputies then hurried through
a resolution for ? J?int commission to
consider the proposition and report at
the next convention, and In this the
house of Lishops concurred at the last
moment. The commission is to consist
of five bishops, fiv*: presbyters and
five laymen.
Closing Impressive.
The closing service of the general cpn
vention, in the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine, was marked by all the solemnity
and impressiveness of the opening ceie
monial, three weeks ago. Bishop Daniel
Sylvester Tuttle of Missouri, presiding
bishop of the church, said-the- opening
prayer and Bishop Thomas Frank Gallor
of Tennessee read the pastoral letter, ad
dressed from each triennial convention to
the church at large The benediction then
was pronounced by the venerable presid
ing bishop and the convention of 10KJ was
at an end. ,
The house of bishops aajourned without J
filling the vacancy in the missionary dis- j
trlct of Spokane, caused by tht- declina-j
tion of the Rev. Dr. \V. T. Capers of j
Philadelphia, who was elected to that post;
lust Mondav. The bishops deemed it in
advisable to take up this matter at the
la?:t moment of the convention. The elec
tion of this bishop now will rest with the
various dioceses.

Senate Committee to Begin
Redraft of the Measure
Tomorrow Morning.
SENTIMENT NOT IN FAVOR
OF CENTRAL BANK PLAN
Regional System More Likely to
Prevail in Deference to Presi
dent Wilson's Views.
The Senate banking and currency com
mittee concluded its hearings on the pend
ing: .currency bill, late yesterday after
noon, and tomorrow morning.the commit
tee will begin the redraft of the bill pre
paratory to making a report to the Sen
ate.
While members of ^the committee were
not willing to make .a .prediction as to
the time that the committee would keep
the bill before it before making a report,
the' general opinion last night appeared to
be that.the very least time-in which the
committee could finish Its work would be
ten days or two weeks. . It was pointed
out that the administration bill woul"d
have to be amended In many radical
points and that' the" details of these
changes would have to be carefully work
ed' out.
Jt Js expected that the committee will
early make a decision as to the funda
mental principles of the bill. One of these
Is the regional'system as opposed to a
central government-controlled bank with
stock owned by the people. Another is
the I>ubli<; ownership feature of the capi
tal of the reserve bank or banks. It will
be impossible, it was said, for the com
mittee to go ahead with the considera
tion of the details or the bill until these
major matters liave been settled.
Central Bank Not Probable.
A few days ago members of the com
mittee confidently predicted a report
on the bill within ten days after the
hearings had been completed. This was
| before the central bank plan had been
refused in public terms by the Presi
dent, and members of the committee
were coming more and more to look
with faver on such a plan.
The President's attitude and that of
the House toward a central bank, even
though such hank would he owned hv
the people and operated by government
officials, makes it appear improbable
that the committee will substitute a
central bank plan for the regional s\s
tem. but it is likely tha* the commit
tee will insist upon the stock of th<?
reserve banks beiuK owned publicly.
an,d that the boards controlling th?*
banks be government officials. The ad
ministration plan places the ownership
of the stock of the regional resetvn
banks in the hands of the national
hanks and gives the stockholder*
recognition on the hoards operating tho
reserve banks.
Suggests Restricting Rights.
Restrictions upon the rights of na
tional banks to engage In the under

syndicates or reorganization were
recommended to the Senate committee
yesterday afternoon by Charles Starek.
national bank examiner for New York
city. Mr. Starok's suggestions were
made in response to questions by mem
bers of the committee, who examined
him for more than an hour behind
closed doors In relation to certain
features of national hank operation.
Mr. Starek went with some detail into
the extent to which the great New York
hanks engaged in the underwritinc of
large projects, and recommended several
modifications or the banking laws tliat
would restrict such aotlvity. The relation
of the National City Bank to the under

was touched on during the hearing, but

Williams or the Treasury Department
The New York examiner appeared be
fore the committee at the committee's
request because of testimony' of Frank
A. Vanderllp, president of the National
City Bank, which indicated that the ex
aminer's income from fees amounted to
more than SW.oou a year. Mr. Starek
said that his gross receipts from fees
was about S*5,00n a year, and that he paid
out over half of this sum for salaries
of assistants why helped him in the work.
