Cabots stains are not only unusually
on-inhamna but they actually di-
minish the infiammabilty of wood to
which they are applied, because the Gre
osote gives off cooling vapor under
heat which retards the spread of flames.
1t costs as much to apply poor stain
as a good one. and the labor item Is al
ways proportionately large, so that it is
a great waste to try to save a few cents
in the first cost by buying a poor stain !;
especially in the South. where the quail
ties of the standard stains are of so much
more value than they are elsewhere. All

The report of the revisa1 committee
against the proposition that stewards be
selected by the church conf/->oce instead
of by the ministers precir.tatsd spir-
tied debate Several delegates appealed
to the conference to make the church
government more democratic and give the
people a voice In it. The clerical men,
bers favored retaining the present sys-
tenn of having the preacher name his
stewards. They argued that they could
make no contracts with their churches
and must depend for their living upon
the money collected by the stewards
The debate grew very spirited at times,
first the laymen and then the ministers
holding the floor. Adjournment time came,
but there was no appearance of the con-
ference being ready to vote so a mo-
ton to extend the time carried. After
more debate a substitute for the COM
mittee report was lost then almost unan-
mously the committees report was adopt
ed, retaining the old system of permit
ting the minister to name the stewards.

The committee had announced that it
would hear arguments for and against
the memorials that have been pouring in
under the direction of the Won EMS Home

The assembly room of the Presbyterian
church was crowded long before the time
for the meeting and most of the audi
ence was composed of women. The
Chairman of the committee, DR.. j. W. AL
derson of the Texas conference, asked if
the women had any plans to offer for
the hearing. In answer Mrs. Macdonald,
secretary of the board of foreign mis-
slons, stepped forward and opened n
suitcase. She took from it an immense
stack of petitions and announced that
Mrs. Luke Johnson would open for the
petitioners. Mrs. johnson made a stir

Tribute to McDavid

IN the current issue or the state in
surance department bulletin, of which
Frank N. Julian, insurance commissioner
and A. C. Sexton, deputy commissioner
are editors. is a tribute to E. r. McDavid
a Birmingham insurance man and citi-
zen, that is marked and emphatic in its
cordial spirit. Mr.. McDavid was at one
time secretary of state and under his d.
| rection the department of Insurance made
wonderful progress. The article in full
follows:
ION March IA A. D. Smith resigned as
president of the Great Southern Life In
surance company of Birmingham Ala
and was succeeded by E. r. McDavid
J. S. Gillespy becoming secretary, sue
ceeding Mr. McDavid.
1T is with great pleasure that the in
surance department notes the elevation of
Mr.. McDavid from the office of secre-
tary to that of president of the Great
Southern Life Insurance company. We
believe that it is a wise step for the
company for many reason. among which
is the fact that his long and valuable
service to the state as deputy insurance
commissioner and secretary of state, and
in various fields of insurance activity
qualify him in an unusually splendid
manner for the discharge of tho respon-
sibilities now resting upon him as pres
ident of an active and growing young in
surance company.
"McDavid has been successful in the
management of his own affairs, is d.
rector in the Traders National bank Of
Birmingham and is interested in many
ways In the business activity of his city
and state. His strict economy and con-
servatism and careful business methods SO
perfectly within the knowledge OF every
one with whom he has come In contact
will be important factors in placing the
company In practically an impregnable
position and there will be every conf
dence on the part OF the stockholders
and poicyholders and others Interested
in the company's welfare that it's affairs
will be managed In way to meet the
most critical standards and that there
will be utmost cooperation and harmony
between agents ana company
1--WE congratulate the policyholders and
stockholders that he has consented to
take charge of their company"

No Bitter Feeling

Instead of the bitter feeling that 1t was
expected would mark the conference,
only the most kindly words were used
Bishop Hoss spoke for the bishops and
Bishop Hendrix replied for the trustees.
Several others spoke and Chancellor Kirk
land closed forFthe trustees. This COM
mittee, likewise, will report later
Aside from the dispute as to the method
of electing stewards, which was the first
| fight on the floor and which was won
by the conservatives who favored the
present plan of having the preachers ap-
point them as opposed to the idea of their
election by the church members, the
| main matter of interest in the confer
ence today was the report of the Sum
day school committee, which recon-
mends the esta Enlistment of adult Bible
classes to replace the various societies
of young men and young men under diff
ferent names which now exist in the
different churches. 1t is proposed to ap-
point a general superintendent and as
sistants for this work and inaugurate
church system.
The report will probably be adopted
without debate.

Interest in Committees

Interest in todays session of the con-
ference centered in the afternoon meet
ing of two committees. The committee
on revisals to which was referred the
petition of the women for laymens rights
In conference, set the time for hearing
the arguments of petitioners for o'clock.
At the hour the special committee heard
arguments in the Vanderbilt dispute.
The campaign of the women for repre-
sentation has been in charge of the
Women's Home Mission society. Petit
lions signed by both men and women
from every Methodist church in the south
have been presented. There have been
many petitions of protest filed as well.
while the. college Of bishops pronounced
against The women
The question at issue in the Vanderbilt
university dispute Is whether that in
stitution shall be taken out of the con-
troll of the church and operated ex-
clusively by the trustees. As in the case
of women's laymen rights the bishops
declared against the proposed change.
After the reading of the journal Bishop
Gambler called Bishop Fl. c. Morrison of
Birmingham, Ala, to the chair. Several
reports on minor questions adopted Sa t.
urday were reconsidered and recommt-
ted Many kilograms and letters were
read urging the conference to grant the
women's petition for laymen's rights.
A resolution was introduced to change
the formal pronouncement after the mar
rage ceremony from II hereby pronounce
you man and wife, to 81 hereby pro-
nounce you husband and wife" Amid a
burst of laughter it was referred to the
committee on revisals.
Labor Sunday Proposed
resolution offered by the Missouri
conference approved the plan OF the
Observation-Disclosures of Labor to set aside
the Sunday before the first Monday in
September as Labor Sunday On this
Sunday the ministers are urged to preach
on labor subjects and endeavor to get
laboring men to attend The resolution
for the adoption of this plan was re-
ferred to the committee on temperance
and other moral and social questions.
BishcD TroI'a of the Japanese Metho-
dist church, the only Japanese Metho-
dist bishop. and three Japanese preach-
ers, arrived this morning and were given
seats on the stage. The Japanese min
listers were received by Bishop Hendrix.

SOME REASONS WHY YOU
SHOULD COOK WITH GAS

1t is the cleanest fuel known.
1t saves time and labor reducing
kitChe Il druGgery.
1t costs less than any other kind of
fuel.
Strike match, turn a valve. and
yolr fire is ready. Think what this
means in time and labor saved Con-
trast it with the hard work and fuss
necessary in cooking with a wood or
coal range.
In baking. the oven is ready in five
or six minutes. Turning a valve. the
simplest thing in the world. gives
just the right heat to bake evenly and
thoroughly.
It's a great satisfaction 10 know
that with a gas range you can always
prepare a meal on short notice If ms
cessary; that You can do it without
sotling your dress or hands.
Gas costs less than other fuels, be-
cause you don't have to keep the fire
going when it isn't needed. II every
city where gas is obtainable, It is
used IN preference to all othec f'els.
What better proof of its economy than
it's widespread use for cooking?
The only way to enjoy these ben
