and the Young Ladies' Sodality OF the
Church OF Our Lady of the Rosary
have reversed their positions in the
standing OF contestants in The Times
$4,000 label and safes slip prize con
test, Emmanuel church having crowded
from second 10 first place in the race
for the first grand prize OF $1,000 In
t gold -The-two- contestants are still
close together in their race, however
and the next standing given may find
either OF them, or any one OF the vari
Gus other organizations in the race
occupying the first position.
| With Immanual church and the so
idality leading in divisions number one
and three. Bethel Evangelical Luther
an church, with vote standing OF
| 33S,34S. heads the organizations con
testants in division number two. The
Western Lodge OF Odd Fellows, one
OF the last contestants to enter the
campaign, heads the list In division
number four. Both these latter organ
izations are gaining strength daily and
II may be assumed by the other con-
testants that both organizations will
be In the race every day from now on.
Sergeant A. b. Hicks, one OF the
best known police officers In Detroit,
who, because of his geniality and the
many efforts he has made to scatter
his own brand OF sunshine and roses
along the paths OF the many persons
who have had occasion TO call ut
Mayor Thompson's Office since the SER
geant has been assigned TO the mayors
quarters, has added scores OF new
friends to his list, has taken the lead
in the race for the automobile. And
the sergeant says TO his friends that
any contestant who pushes him of the
first rung of the ladder from now on
will have to get wagon to transport
his labels. The vote standing will
show, however, that not few Of the
contestants are close up to the top
place and every one will be on the
alert to start the sergeant down to-
boggan on which no sand has oblig-
ingly been scattered II he doesn't
watch out. William Whalen, who is
within grabbing distance OF the top
with a vote of 3SS,750 Is OF the Arm
opinion that he will look as well In
the automobile as the sergeant would.
George f. Schmidt, one OF the newer
contestants, stands a close third and
the other contestants may be pretty
certain that Schmid Is seeing himself
having a lot of fun with that automo-
bile next summer. As far as he Is con-
cerned there is but one contestant in
the field for that prize, and that con-
testant is George F. Schmidt.
Carol Tossy, No. 259 Clairmont-st.,
leads in the boys and girls race for
the Shetland ponies, but she is crowd
ed closely In her position by Elmer G.
Water, who Is In second position. Both
these contestants have rival to keep
their eyes on, however, in Lillian
Kemp, who has travelled upward from
near the bottom of the list to fourth
position In the last two weeks. Her
strength, as shown In the last few
days, seems to indicate that che will
head the list In another week or so
unless the others keep their friends
pretty busy In the hunt for labels.
Contestants, especially those who
derive their support In the main from
the west SIDE will note that sales slips
from the furniture store Of Dempsey q
Hyner, 1889 Michigan-ave., now count
for votes. This is stated for the rea-
son that the firm has not appeared on
the circulars which were prepared for
the various contestants. The vote
