OUR FAITH IN THE Y. M. C. A. The faith of the American-public in the sincerity and success of the Young Men's Christian Association is shown by the fact that expenditures by Am ericans for services to young men and boys, through the Y. M. C. A.'s of the ' L'nited States and Canada, have dou bled since the war. bringing the an nual turnover to more than $50,000,- 000. These figures are made public in the ‘ Year Bpok and Official Roster for 1924-25. compiled by George B. Hodge, and 'issued from New York by the ; National Councils of both countries. < Total income for the year was ssl.- 1 874.400, and operating expenditures $51,914,400. About 26 per cent, of income is derived from contributions. 12 per cent, from membership dues, 12 per cent, from tuition fees and oth er departmental activities. 7 per cent, from property and endowments, and 43* per cent, from business features. I dormitories, restaurants and camps. . Analysis og expenditures shows that 23 per cent, is expended for adminis tration. 18-7 for activities. 21 per “ cent, for property and endowments. 28 per cent, for business features, dormitories, restaurants and camps. I a 'io 10 per cent, on the service of the National Councils and other agencies, !'■ including the service in foreign lands. . amounting to $2,761,900. | Nearly 100.000 business and profes sional men directed this $50,000,000 service, giving their time without com pensation on boards and committees, state orgzaniations. and training ~ schools. Serving under these leaders ; were 5,258 employed secretaries. W, Although 968,92 ft members were on 1 the books-during the year just closed, “reports show,” says Mr. Hodge. : "that the number of men and boys , helpfully influenced by some contact with or participation in the varied "Association activities, is double, if not treble, the actual number of mem bers." K The unprecedented increase of near ly 10 per cent., in North American &• M. A. membership during 1923- 1 24 * w «s followed by a decrease of only 2 per cent., in 1924-25, the Year Book L ®* emberK,1 'P of under 18 years bf age continued to increase. There were 3,002 more on the rolls last : year than the year before, bringing the to 247,531. Men and boys un der 25 compose more than 57 per cent, of city association memberships. •Which represent about three-quarters jgbf the entire membership. The number of men and boys affll- Vm* with Y.

Sec retary Wilbur has appointed a board of inquiry and President Coolidge has apoiuted another, announcement hav ; ing been made that the two boards ex pect to work together at certain stages of their investigations. ; Col. William Mitchell is responsible ■ for the appointment of the boards. He . has been hurling charges of ineffi ciency at the two departments for some months and when the Shenan doah and PN-9 No. 1 disasters came so close together, something had to be done about the charges the former air service chief was making. So far as the public can learn now, the inquiry will be made first and • Col. Mitchell disciplined later. As a matter of fact, many persons have formed the belief that nothing will be done with the officer, by reason of the fact that the boards are going to find much to corroborate his charges. If such findings are made it is hardly likely that Col. Mitchell will be court martialed for telling the truth. Regardless of the findings, however, it was right to make an investigation of the causes of the troubles of the dirigible and planes before time was taken to reprimand Col. Mitchell. Cer tain charges were made by him and others connected with aviation in this country, and these charges are such that they demand immediate investiga tion. Following its policy of giving' the l’iedmont country service second to none, the Southern Power Co; an nounces plans for a big. steam plant to serve as auxiliary to the water plant?.

V. BLANCHARD RELATES I STORY OF THE CRIME ! Sheriff Fowler Offers Reward of SIOO For Evidence to Convict the Assailants. 1 Monroe, Sept. 15.—Turner Blanch ard, who was subjected to a criminal > operation on the Charlotte highway > Sunday morning, two miles from . Muuroe. about day break, passed the . day very quietly in the Ellen Fin gers Id hospital, and doctors say there is some hope of his recovery. There is still considerable tnystery behind the crime, and the mystery is ' added to by the act that both Blanchard and his wife were keep ing the matter in secret until forced by the necessity for medical aid to call in a doctor. Both Blanchard and his wife were interviewed today. He lying in the hospital and she doing the family washing at the little home three miles away, tell the same story in almost every detail, both saying that they were telling all they knew. Blanchard is a young man of 28 yeans, with strong physique, «jq<l rather pleasing personality. He re lated the story of how the hooded band, consisting of aboout four men. hailed at his door, and as he walked * out the one immediately in front threw a mask over his head, while one on the other side grabbed him and pushed him into a closed car and hurried away with him. He says that he has not the slightest idea who his assailants were, and ino clue as to why they treated him in such a man ner. except that they, said on coin pletjuig the deed that “Now, damn yV>n, you will pay your bill.” Questioned as to what he owes, be named three or four firms ill Monroe j to which lie is indebted in small amounts from $2 to $lO. Mrs. Blanchard -orroberated the story of ’ her husband as to how he was taken jiivay from the home, tell- ; ing it of course as be had related it to her on his return. Bhe said that she heard a little scuffle amd when the car dcove'off she went-to the door and railed him, On reeeiving no answer she* wind round the .little three-rboru house, rapeamng ••her rail.

Blsr ;«ajd • that he ami she dressed his wounds nnd decided to ! never let life matter be known, On being ashed why they wished to keep the secret, she said that they hoped to relieve him of the embarrassment that would follow, and that they did not want pimple saying, “there goes the man that the Ku Klux fixed." She was then asked if they thought it was the Ku Klux. She replied that they did not think it the Ku lylux. and added that there was mo reason for that organization taking any | action against h<*r husband. She'' spoke of him in the highest of terms t anal said that their relations had al ways been most congenial, and that no one had aught agaiuec turn. Both Mrs. Blanchard and her hus band stated there exists no reason why he should be made such a vic tim. i The Union county citizens, al ! though cool, are highly luaignant j that such au outrage should have oc- j | eurred in their midst. No official re- , port* are available as to the prugrei** | |of the officers in finding the guilty] : parties. Sheriff Clifford Fowler has j | offered personally SIOO for proof suf- > ! fieient to convict, and the citizens of I Union county stand ready to put up ; j any amount of money, when it is ! though that money will uncover the dgstardly deed.

Since 1916 the Southern Power Company has been building against a surplus of water, in counter to the flood conditions which prevailed that year. Now it is building against a ! scarcity of water, countering against conditions created by the record , drought of the present year. It is i proceeding with construction of what it calls “a mammoth” steam plant for [ generation of electricty—q»nd “niyin i moth” is a term, that means some- i | thing, when applied by the 1 engineers i of this company. Location, of this ' plant is not divulged, but it wiif be j “somewhere” on the Catawba. There i is talk of great storage reservoirs in 1 connection with the Steam pHtnt, and ] perhaps people pliving along the Ca- ( tawba might be able to make %n ap- ! proximAtely good guess.
