and carried pink roses.

white was very effectualIy used
in the parlor, the arch also be-
ing constructed in these colors.
In the dining room the pink
and white decorations FREEDOM
mated The ceiling was drap-
ed in a canopy effect, while an
immense bouquet of pink hya-
cinths formed the centerpiece.

No you remember how
S. careful you were Of
your personal appearance
in those glorious days when you
were counting the Missus?
---how you paid her the delightful
compliment of always looking your
best when you came into her presence?
You wouldn't think of taking her out
them if you had on seedy, out of date suit.
You wanted her to be able to show the world
that her man. was strictly up to the minute
"a genuine live wire, for whom only the best
tailoring was good enough.
You're just as good man today as you
were then--and the Missus is every bit as
entitled to the respect you used to pay her.
1t isn't fair, boys, just because the Little
Woman at Home has Mrs. before her name,
to drop all those attentions and homages of
the counting days. If you want her to keep
young--don't SLOUGH around like premature
! grandpa. Show her you are still live one
by keeping up with the styles.

The Big Gray Car
FIemen Wish
TO Get Bylaws

Members of the volunteer section
Of the fire department met at the
city hall Thursday night. Those pres
ent were j. S. Jordan, Dave Sergeant,
Arthur Strickland, j. Il. Crowson,
Glenn Eaton, Glenn Guiley, C. E. Del
bert and Harley Holmes. Fire Chief
Robinson and Assistant Guiley were
also present.
The meeting was called to order
by Chairman Diebert, and Secretary
Jordan read the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting, which we're approved.
The new fire alarm of one ring
three rings was brought up and ap-
proved by the men, This Is the brush
fire signal.
Next came up the main issue Of
the evening, the adoption of some
bylaws for the volunteers. Previous
to this meeting a set OF bylaws had
been drawn up and referred to the
city council, who would not pass ia
vorably upon them. They were gone
over by the boys and discussed, with
little result.
The city council had been asked to
be present, but only Mayor Johnson
showed up, and he was promptly
called away. Since the council was
not present little could be done.
A big course of refreshments had
been planned, with the result of a
Dig freezer of ice cream and several
,akes. The guests did not show up,
fowever and the fire boys had to
light in to the refreshments them
selves, with good results.
A meeting is planned for the near
'uture, at which it is hoped to get up
, set of bylaws satisfactory to all.

danger of death, on countless occasions
 The latest discoveries made at Ephesus are owing to the great work done by Sir William Mitchell Ramsay, the noted ar chaeologist who has made his lifework the ascertaining of all that could be known from the ruins of the great churches and temples of Ephesus and surrounding cities. He has given to the world it's greatest geography of Asia Minor, and any number of volumes dealing with the cities and Bishoprics tof Phrygia St. Paul, the Traveller and the Roman citi- zen, and the Letters of the Seven Churches of Asia, as we'll as the cities of St. Paul.
 His latest work has been done in Ephe- sus itself, and there he has uncovered ruins of heather temples and some of the remains of the very earliest of Christian churches, probably the very churches founded by St. Paul, and the ones in which he preached.
 It was to the people of these churches that he addressed his wonderful "Epistle to the Ephesians." remarkable for laying down many of the dogmas afterward made the basis of much of Christianity.
 It was in Ephesus, according to Acts, Chapters XVIII. and XIX.) that Paul made many converts. and compelled the burning of thousands of the books of magic in which the Ephesan worshippers of Diana believed up to that time.
 The religion practised in the Temple of Diana was peculiarly primitive in many ways, lacking the higher idealism of the Greeks, being mixed with much of the earlier worship of Phrygia. The Diana of Ephesus was peculiar figure, altogether unlike the beautiful goddess of the hunt of Greece. She was the mother-goddess, the source of life and fertility, the su- preme deity, worshipped with nameless rites
 It is not surprising that Paul attacked this as one of the most degrading super stitions of his age. and that he poured out the vials of his wrath upon the lost organism of the forsaken city.
 But Ephesus had been a great centre in earlier times. It was founded, accord ing to tradition, by Androcles, son of the Athenian King Cedrus, in the eleventh century B. c. Some of the oldest coins found bear the name of Ephesus. having
