WW 14 THE LAKE SHORE NEWS FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1921 children and by the women are out- side of the regular contributions of the parish to the cause of the ex- tension of the church. Last year St. Augustine's increased its offerings to outside causes by more than 400 per cent. St. Augustine's church conducts an annual canvass of its parishioners once a year, usually shortly before Christmas, when pledges are made for tne ensuing year. This canvass fails to reach those who are away from home at the time it • is made, and no special effort is made to reach those who have ^iewly come to the parish. A supplementary canvass by a committee appointed by the Vestry will be held on May IS to reach all those who have not been pledged for the current week. St. Augustine's Vested Boys' choir, under the direction of Thomas Ful- lerton. organist and choirmaster, will lead the singing at the Sunday Eve- ning club in the Congregational church building Sunday evening.

This work first published in 194)7 is in its present edi- tion, revised, enlarged and brought to date. Bloomfield â€" Modem industrial movements. This book presents the first collection in one volume of ar- ticles on modern industrial* move- ments. It covers the most important printed material which has appeared in periodicals, reports and other im- portant sources not easily accessi- ble. Some of the subjects are Social- ism, Trade Unions. Compulsory in> surance and Single Tax. The aim of the editor and compiler has been to present each subject from all angles so that the reader may have the op- portunity of forming his own judg- ment as to the particular movements discussed. Not only is this hand- book, therefore, of value to^students at schools and colleges, but it will also appeal to the business man and the industrial manager, and the workers in industry who want to know in some detail about important move- ments in industry."

"As Secretary of State throughout the war, and as one of the five Ameri- can rep re sent aiiyes_ajL the Peace Con- ference, Mr. Lansing had a unique opportunity for knowing what actu- ally happened at Paris.

In many cases the lines between towns were, entirely down, involving destruction of approximately seventy- seven miles of toll circuit. By working day and night since the storm, the Telephone Company*; crews have been able to restore ser- vice to a limited decree to practically all points in the state. It is estimated that the storm cost The Telephone Company in excess of $500,000. The area involved was about one hundred miles north and south, extending across the state in a north- easterly direction. approximately north of Peoria. The local service, except for certain farmer lines, ha* been sreneralfv restored and the toll service is rapidly being restored.

Let us lior>e that something tangible in the way of im- provement of the patient's condition may be the result of the efforts of those diagnosing the case. "Every informed man in Chicago has known for years *hat many things were wrong: that in some instances conditions were simply rotten, but they remembered that they lived in Chicago, the metropolis of rhe^middle west, where laws are not obeyed, where courts do not administer exact justice, where people are being ruled bv the semi-criminal and crimnial classes. Those who knew - of the rotten conditions were helpless to bring about any reform, 'due to the supergovernment named by Senator Dailey. "For years the criminal class of the city have had no fear of the law. The delays of our courts of justice, the tedious proceedings of trials, the sys- tem of appeals, our parole system, the methods of selecting our prose- cuting attorneys and judicial officers, all have resulted in creating a con- tempt for law and justice that reacts on our citizens and in a measure has developed a community of grafters. "What the building industry in Chicago needs is a Moses to lead it into the Land of Promise, that fair region where there will be no graft, no building combinations, no restraint of trade, but where the rule of busi ness will be 'A square deal for all.'
