The ? previous large gift year was 1918, T* when $33,148,407 was received. se The figures given are exclusive of j8* interest on permanent funds for j ^ the incoml from Presbyterian- theo *? logical seminaries, and many of the legacaies and individual gifts to the ... +v, boards. The contribution include (w* moneys given for the work of home co missions, foreign missions, religious J *? education, church erection, temper- j1S ance and moral welfare, for the support of the fifty-seven Preeby-.pr /terian colleges and academies and jasj the work in the 440 Presbyterian 'al negro schools. . Since the plan of systematic giving has been stressed in the last pr few years and the boards and agencies of thee ,/imrch have adopted the ( sit . budget system with a definite sum.co for every need, there has been con-!an 1 In I siderable increase in gifts set aside for each of these boards and agen- jag dee. The stimulation given by the. forward programmes and woric, of in< the New Era Movement, of which Tgl the Rev. Dr. Joseph Dunn Berrell ,pa was appointed secretary of th6 ipe-|t tropolitan district, is in large, part lin responsible for this increase. A f omparative list of the receipts of the various boards shows m that in 1920 $3,228,089 was received by the Board of Home Mis* ? -sions for their work compared po $1,954,421, the sum in 1915; $3,516,884 for the Board, of Foreign Missions as compared to $1,812,001^ m the figures shown in the year 1915, j A In 1918 the Home Mission.

J ansportation. x Villiam Ward, designer of the "rollg home' consisting of a living room, ith and kitchen, reckoned it would i cheaper to build, equip and tow s household intact by automobile to yhere we shall not need coal" than ship his effects by train. "MacSwiney Free" says the first le of a caption in a sensationalring Chicago ?aper, but the secid line follows, "Of Pain in the aad." , V : le committee placed before the nator a complete rview of the situron and the dangers ahead and' en went to the Federal building r a conference with the district atj rney. The district attorney 'informed e committee that he is in'constant mmunication with district at rneye in the mining districts and endeavoring to obtain prosecu?ns wherever there is evidence of cxfitearing. He said he has definite surance that the dealers- of At ita are paying too much for coal the mines and that there is a | eat deal of repadding of, sales ices. Further interest was added to the nation today when chamber tf rmnerce officials announced that other car shortage is threatened 'Atlanta. The cause of this ahorte, it is stated, is the fact that we is a great deal of apathy and lifference among local receivers arding unloading of cars and distching them back to shippers. It is stated that unless there is an provement shortly in the car jrtage the terminal committee of ? American Railway Association. II be forced to take drastic steps relieve it. ' J L ALL I i . . i .

After the miner's delegates had departed the cabinet members continued in session with Mr. Lloyd George. Frank Hodges, on leaving with the other representatives of the miners, said the discussions would be continued. After the meeting with the government leaders the miners' execuJ tive body went into conference which lasted until 4:30 p. m. and then adjourned until tomorrow afternoon. The convention with Mr. Llod George and the other members of the government will be resumed. . , Hope seemed to prevail that there would be settlement of the coal strike as a result of the renewal of the direct negotiations between the* miners and the government. Meanwhile neither side has disclosed the nature of the negotiations, bat according to an unofficial report the pre mier suggested some new formula which would satisfy the government that if a two shilling advance in wages was conceded it would bp accompanied by increased output!
