 The house of deputies also adopted resolution directing the board of re- ligious education to urge state boards Of education to give credit for Bible study in high schools.

The people of the cen tral west. he said. had earned their money by hard work and because of their necessary frugality. the church had neglected to canvass this section properly for missionary funds. He said also that the church should lib- erally endow it's colleges. Bishop Reese said that the American flag should be carried after the cross in all services of the Episcopal church.
 He attacked what he chara cterized as emotional evangelism as "sensa- tional, commercial and creating irrev- erence.''

NEW SHOW AT DAVIS TODAY
Three Exceptionally Fine Keith Acts, Triangle Master Plays and Keystone Comedy.

An exceptionally fine show has been booked for the last half of this week and all three acts are big time Keith attractions. The headline feature is Walter Shannon, Marie Annis and company in The Garden of Love, a pretentious Oriental 1dyl in two scenes. The first scene shows the road on the way to the Pyramids and is an exact reproduction of a photo taken of this spot five miles from the Pyramids, there are several musical numbers in the act and altogether this act should hit the right spot There are five people in the company and come to the Davis direct from Keith's, Providence, where they were the headline attraction. The next act is Susan Tompldns. violtnist, who was soloist with Sousa's band for several seasons. It Is needless to say that she is an artist of the highest order and this will be a treat to all local music lovers when they hear her. The third act is Lester and Mowrie a clever eccentric comedy duo who pre- sent a singing, talking and comedy act that will keep everyone in laughs a plenty. The Triangle feature play is Norma Talmage in The Social Sec retary, five-part Fine Arts produc- ton written for Miss Talmage and adapted to her particular charms.
 What would you do if you had to work for a living as a tenographer and were so good looking that every man just succumbed to your charms and proposed to you right on the spot? Rather annoying, eh? Well, this is exactly the predicament of the heroine of this original story. In or der to pursue quietly the gentle arts of her chosen calling, she does some thing very few girls would ever think of doing-she hides her beauty behind trimmed glasses and clothes of the vintage of 'S2 But light cannot be hid behind a bushel for long. She is discovered-and then-but wait until you see the picture.
 To complete the show there is Ed Kennedy in the two-reel Keystone comedy. The ScoundrePs Toll. Special music at every performance by the Davis concert orchestra.
