"Fathers often bring their grown sons," he 'said. "It is a fact that more men than women come to church," declared Rev. Titus Lowe of the First Meth odist church. He said that the mod ern woman is less emoti.dnal than her mother. - V The "hallelujah" type of religion is well as the "hallelujah" type of woman is fast disappearing, accord ing to the Rev. Howard & Whit comb of the Calvary Baptist church. "Religion has become a matter of intelligence, conduct and character," said Pr. Howard. "Modern woman is not less religioii--she' has merely assumed more worthy forms of ex pression," Men's Brotherhood. "We depend on the men's brother hood now, instead of the woman's organizations," said the Rev. -William Ira Gus of St. Marks Lutheran church. '"'.. "We may soon have to go out iter the women just as we've been going after' the men," admitted Dr. Calhoun. "When our nlothers begin staying away from church, . the church will leave . the home for a time. TTie mother is the heart of the home. ' 'i; "But the church will prosper-more than ever before.

From Samuel Gompers Asking About Trade Relations. Bf Th Awoclated Tim: Washington. April 18. Secretary Hughes, writing to Samuel Gompers, who asked tor a statement 01 the facts" regarding Russia, indicates definitely that there is no prospect of a resumption of relations with tne United Mates while the soviet pohti cal and economic system remains. The letter replies to various state ments characacterized as propaganda which contend resumption! of rela. tions with the Soviets would open a great current "of trade of advantage to the United States and that large shipments of Russian gold have been made to other countries in payment for goods. Soviet Russia, the secretary de clares, is a "gigantic economic vac uum" and he adds that "no evidence exists that the unfortunate situation rs likely to be alleviated so long as 4he present system continues. Taking up the - charge that the scarcity of coods ill Russia is due to the blockade removed last July 8 and the statement that the demand for manufactured troods in Russia, is so great and the sovief purchasing power so vast that it is almost im possible to determine the capacity of the Kussian market to imports, sec retary Hughes wrote: Purchasing Power Small., "Though there is almost no limit to. the commodities' needed by Rus sia! the purchasing power of that country is at a minimum and the de mand must remain unsatisfied. The attitude and action of the authorities bf Russia have tended to undermine its political and economic relations with other countries. The Russian people are unable to obtain credit and are compelled to be deprived of commodities immediately necessary. It ahould not be overlooked that there "has been a steady degeneration in even those industries in soviet Russia not dependent on imports nor- in which has there been any shortage of labor. "Restrictions on direct trade with .Russia were removed by the United 'States. July 8, 1920, Conclusion of .treaties of peace with the Baltic states enabled Russia to enter: upon trade , with Europe and the United States; Both American and Euro pean goods have been sold to Rus sia, but the volume of trade : has been ;unimportant, due to the' in ability of Russia to pay. ? Unable to Pay Cash. "It is true agents purporting to be representatives of the- so-called bol shevist commissariat of v foreign trade have ..placed immense ocders for the purchase of goods in the United States, Europe and Asia. It is estimated perhaps $6,500,000,000. worth of orders have beenibooked But shipments have been made only in small volume because the soviet agents were unable either to pay cash or obtain credit." . i In reality Ufe ''secretary says', R 1 1 Ki lirtl ' V-y V V PLANT N2 2 BRIDGEPORT 1 -J -ff 1 a J-- 4 PJ transfers-of -Russian gold to other countries have been small and at the most liberal estimates the Soviets have not more than $175,000,000 gold. Even immediate expenditure of the whole amount in the United States, he says, would have no lasting effect on American trade or' industry and it might "take away the scant hope left of a sound reorganization of the Russian system of currency and finance." There, have been, since December 18, Secretary Hughes says, no re-! strictions" on financial transaction between the United States and Rus sia although there is no assurance that the mint or the reserve' banks will accept Russian gold. Facts Refute Statements. "The facts," as to supplies in Rus sia available, for export he wrote, "completely refute" statements that if . the United States recognized the soviet?, Russia immediately would export lumber, flax, hemp, fur and other commodities. "The facts," he says, show Russia does not have, for export commodities which might be made the basis of immediately pro fitable trade with the United States and he adds that the Russian trans portation system is demoralized. He quotes an official soviet organ to show lumber production in 1920 was one-fifth of the prewar level. A table shows the output of eight principal, exporting commodities at from 12 to 58 per cent of what was expected. Furthermore he points out, before the war American trade with Rus sia constituted only 1 3-10 per cent of all the foreign trade of the United States, being in. the year' ending June 30, 1913, $55,000,000 for both exports and imports, while for 1920, it was $13,000,000 and practically allxof that was with : territories free of soviet domination. - "It is unquestionably desirable." he wrote, "that intimate and mutually profitable commercial relations be established, between the United States and -Russia and it is the sin cere hope of this government that there may be readjustments in Rus sia which will make it possible, for that country 1o resume its proper place in the economic life of the world." Wife Stops Farmer's Joy Jag by Having Him Jailed Failing in her attempt to stop pay ments on-her husband's checks on a Yutan (Neb.), bank, - after he had spent-$500 which he, brought to Omaha for a "good time;" the wife of William Widman, wealthy Fre mont farmer, appealed to Omaha po lice to place her husband in "safe keeping." They. did. He was taken into custody at Eleventh and Jack son streets Sunday and made no ob jection to spending time in jail awaiting the arrival of his spouse. Widman said he didn't intend to "go on a spree," but couldn't resist the temptation- after one drink of Omaha liquor. Police Called to Handle Crowd of Women at Hat Sale " Police were called to the Burgess Nash store yesterday . to assist in handling the crowds of women at tending a hat sale. Every elevator and stairway in the building was taxed to capacity, and jams m trat fic resulted several times. The crowd was reported one of the largest ever attending: a bargain sale in Omaha.
