TO PROHIBIT PICTURES
Ministers Petition His Honor to Pre-
vent Jeffries-Johnson Fight Pic
lures Being Shown Here.

The ministers OF the city have Pc
titloned the Mayor to prevent the fight
pictures from being shown. The fol
lowing is their letter and the reply OF
the Mayor:
To the Hon. w r. Caskey,
Mayor Of the City of Martinsburg,
Dear Strive the undersigned min
listers of the Gospel and pastors OF our
respective churches, do hereby solicit
your official cooperation In avertfng
In our city the pictorial presentation
by any method of the recent brutal
prize fight at Reno, New. Our posi-
ton is prompted by belief that such
reproduction of this disgraceful event
would prove degrading to the morals
of those who might witness it, and
also that it would most likely result
in the>same race conflicts which have
proved so unfortunate in hundreds of
places throughout the country.
Assuming that this petition shall
be favorably received by yourself, we
should be glad if it might be your
pleasure to give your answer therto
through the local papers
Respectfully yours
W D. McCurdy. Pastor First Baptist
Church,
w f. Locke, Pastor Methodist Church
South,
w A. Fallon, Pastor Catholic Church,
John S Douglas, Rector Protestant
Episcopal Church
w A. Roush, Pastor Christian Church,
w. F. Gruver, Pastor United Brethren
Church,
J. Paul Wright, Pastor First Methodist
Episcopal Church.
pastors Woods, Hoffheins and Trump
are out of the city.

 What has club life taught yOu?'' I asked.
 Three things. Club life has taught me the value of gentleness. gener- osity and justice And the greatest of these is justice. Almost anyone can be gentle or generous, if they only try. but it means something to be just. one of the best things that can happen Q a selfish. self-centered woman is to join one of our good modern clubs.
 The club teaches her restraint that there are other opinoins in the world as worthy of consideration as her own. It teaches her to listen to what other women have to say Club lie is one of the few broadening in f!uences sheltered woman may have New York World.

THE KNITTED SHAWLs.

Knitted shawls, which have not been worn for so many years that they have been designated old fash ioned," have again come into vogue and are quite the fad for wearing under the pretty evening wrap or opera coat. They are made of soft but warm wool yarns and in colors to please the wearer, although the dainty gray and the solid white seem to be the leading cOlors. Most of the shawls are big round shapes, folded in the center. fitting nicely around neck and shoulders. These shawls are easy to fashion. because all one has to do is to chochet a big round piece exactly as if you are making a round mat with the center flat and the border very full. Gray and lavender, which were formerly colors monopol- ized by the elderly women. are now commonly worn by the younger set.
