CLOSE DRILLING
CONTEST ON LABOR
DAY At MULLAN
BRADSHAW AND ST. GERMAN
WIN IN A CONTEST WHERE
PURSE Is POOLED.

The drilling contest at the cele-
bration of Labor Day, held in Null
Ian, Idaho, probably claimed the
greatest interest Of any Of the many
sports.
= huge boulder was brought in
from Nine Mile, as near the dupli-
cate of the tough piece of granite
upon which records were made on
the Fourth of July as could be
found. 1t is said by miners that
the two are very near the same in
quality and hardness.
The purse offered by the Labor
Day committee was $500, to be di-
vided into a first and second prize
of $500 and 500, respectively.
When it developed that there were
but two teams on hand to drill the
committee declined TO give first
and second prize, and compromise
was reached when both the Mullan
and Osburn teams agreed to drill
for the whole sum in one prize.
Bradshaw and St German, from
Mullan, had their hackers and also
boosters, and the same can be said
of the Osburn team, Half and Leaf.
They put up a pretty exhibition and
drove the steel through 40 l1-16
inches, while the winners, Brad
shaw and st Germain made the
deep score of II IS inches, OF
1876 Of an nch more than the
other team. The contest was ex-
citing in the extreme Wallace

Board of Education Report No. 1

Thereport upon the question of a joint board of trustees which has been sub mitted to your board of education, and which is herewith appended, has been carefully considered, and we recommend its adoption upon the following conditions:
 1. That the paper, adopted at the session of the North Alabama conference in 1910 be amended, so that in the second rec ommendation thereof the word .'plenary'' be stricken out, and the words Subject to the concurrence and ratification of the two conferences be inserted; so that it shall read: We recommend further that you delegate to this board of trustees power, subject to the concurrence and ratifica- tion of the two conferences to uni fy,v etc. ra
 2. That the plan of unfiaction. and scorre- ation be adopted with the further pro- vide for amendment that the Alabama conference assume an annual assessment of 5000 for Birmingham college. That our only A grade college for men be at Birmingham, and our only A grade college for women be at Montgomery.
 J. S. Robertson and G. l.. Jenkins pre- sented an amendment, aiming at practi- cally the same end, by reaching it by diff ferent route.

Of these 67 ,626 students are in state colleges and universities; 7S,303 are in the pri- vate or independent schools; and 15J,- SS7 In church colleges and universities These figures indicate the part the church school must play in the state and nation, and they ought to be un- derstood as sounding the note that the church is not out of the business of education, and is not going out.

 On motion of Dr. Newman, the confer ence formally requested the bishops to arrange for the sessions of this confer ence to be held earlier in November by some two weeks.
 The place of meeting for 1912 was taken up. pr. Branscomb nominated First church, Birmingham. and made felicti- ous speech of invitation. He was sup ported by MT. r. M. Jackson, Mir G. B.

Styles of Sleeves.

Judging from a recent exhibition in an
exclusive house. the knell OF the popular
kimono sleeve may be thought to have
been sounded Hardly gown or coat
in the collection had the full kimono
shoulder, although with one of the new
est long sleeves compromise was eff
fected by having the bodice material car
ried UP over the shoulder while the low
set sleeve was OF contrasting material.
The most novel costume had a sleeve OF
full length closely fitted to the lower
arm, with a baggy effect-not too exag-
gerated-at the elbow.
At this same exhibition were seen some
exquisite evening dresses. all of which
might with propriety be described as
stately. They were princess in style. with
trains-some long. some short. Many OF
them were trimmed with roses arranged
in garIands across the edge Of the train
or In buno hes to catch up draperies: rich
brocades worked with threads of gold or
silver: soft charmeuses allied to beautiful
laces, and a blending of colors which was
very charming indeed. All the waist
belts were draped and showed the waist
line, and I'm this point were distinctive

The dresses were magnificent. the trains
being in the most exquisite satins bro

One simple dress noted at the. Same
place was Of pale blue tussore. made with
a short side-plaited skirt. With 1t was
worn a little coat with a black patent
leather belt.
