Hat for Paris

Round went the hat again to folk who knew it well--to venerable Arthur Curtiss James, to middle-aged John Davison Rockefeller Jr., to venerable Cleveland H. Dodge, to Edward S. Harkness who says little, gives much; to others. Out of the hat came $350,000 and it was forth- with announced that a $500,000 edifice for the American Church would be built on the left bank of the Seine where that river--to be exact, at the Quai d'Orsay--cuts through Paris. The balance is assured because the project has the official approval of the Presbyterian General Assembly. Presbyterian Joseph W. Cochran Jr. is pastor.
