'S|BLEYS FORCE IS BACK FROM MEXICO
Period of InactiOn Along the Border Likely to Continue
 Indefinitely

San Antonio, May 21.-With the arrival on the American side of Colonel Sibley S little force that rescued Jesse Deemer and Monroe Payne and chased border raiders 145 miles into Mexico, General Funston's command of nearly 5o,000 men tonight awaited developments. That por- ton of the army under General Pershng in Mexico has become as inactive as the remainder of the border force and so far as army officers know the pe- riod of comparative inaction will be un- broken unless the initiative is taken by Mexicans.
 [ Colonel Sibley had not reported his troops on this side of the Rio Grande tonight but his last reported position was so far north that at General Fun ston's headquarters his arrival was hour ly expected.
 Steadily but without haste general of- ficers have planned to continue this week the distribution of forces along the bor- der. The Texas militia, mobilized here, will be sent forward in few days and today the Sixth cavalary, which has been in Chihuahua under General Per shing, was moving into the Big Bend district where additional companies of the coast artillery will be placed if the war department grants General Funston request for more men.
 Reports of contemplated raids at va rious points along the border, especial V in the Brownsville district, continued to reach General Funston today, but all official reports from border army sta tions were that the situation was un- changed

FINAL SERMON FOR
 HUDSON GRADUATES
Baccalaureate Sermon De- livered by Mobile Minister
 to Huge Congregation

Marion, May 21.-(Special)- say that half century ago wealthy planters came to Marion for more than 50 miles to hear the learned discourses and the music at Judson college on com mencement Sundays. Today has been typical of the past, for they came by automobile, train and other conveyances in large numbers to hear the Rev. John w. Phillips, D. D., of Mobile, deliver the baccalaureate sermon for Judson col lege, and Marion institute; in fact, more than 1900 persons gave attention to a discourse from the fifteenth chapter and eighth verse of John, that was the equal of any of former years.
 The subject, Why am I Here?" was the means of making a strong and elo- quent plea to the hundreds of students to make of this the beginning of the life that would lead to peace, happiness and the better world. The music, under the direction of Edward Lesson Powers as organist, was an appealing feature of the service. The Ire Deum'' by Pow CTS, was sung by a chorus of 40 voices, in which Miss Morgan sang the solo part.
 Tonight Dr. Phillips delivered the mis- sionary sermon to the Ann Hasseltine Mission society of Judson. This organza- ton is one of the oldest in the state and, confined to students in the institution, has done much to foster and maintain the mission spirit within southern Baptist women. The sermon was appropriate to the occasion.
 Just before the sermon diplomas and seals were delivered to nearly one hun dred Sunday school pupils who, during the year, had won distinction in the study of the Bible and teacher training courses. Nine years ago the Judson Sun day school was formed as an organiza- ton independent of the local Baptist church, and while its work has been confined solely to student life it reports annually to the Cahaba Baptist asso- ciation thereby being given due credit in denominational affairs.
 Following the delivery of diplomas a chorus of 50 voices sang Hammonds Be hold, the Master Passeth By"
 Monday morning Judson trustees will meet, the art exhibit continuing during the day, with the grand concert at night. The board of trustees for Marion institute meet Monday morning and in the afternoon the Birmingham College Baseball team plays on Marion Field At D. m. the final dance of the Hop associa- tion will be given at the institute.

METHOD|STS WILL TAKE UP AMUSEMENT QUESTION THIS WEEK
Will Submit Two Reports. One Advocates Relaxation of Rules on Theatre,
 Cards and Dancing

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, May H.-The so-called worldly amusements," and their relation to members of the Methodist Episcopal church, probably will over shadow in importance the majority ot the proposals to be presented to the gen -eral conference during the fourth week of the quadrennial session, which begins tomorrow Two definite propositions will be submitted one from the majority of the committee on the state of the church, which favors the retention of the present prohibition against card playing dancing and theatregoing; and another from the minority of the same committee, which will ask that the paragraph be eliminated and that the position of the church as opposed to amusements be made clear by other means.
 The rules of the church now provide expulsion as a penalty for members who engage in these diversions. It is claimed that this is not enforced though pre- vious attempts to effect a change have always failed.
 The advisability of continuing the pub hoation of all the periodicals now issued QHuer CHurCu auspices Will be debdted early in the week.
 Although the election of bishops has been completed, missionary bishops for Africa and Malaysia are to be chosen tomorrow unless the conference reverses it's previous decision not to send general superintendents to these fields.
 Nearly 25 officials of church boards and editors of publications also are to be elected.
 A proposal to transfer headquarters of the temperance society from Topeka, kas., to Washington, D. C., will be of fered this week, it was announced. The committee which favors this action as- serts that "the battlefield of prohibit ton during the next quadrennum is to be on the Atlantic coast, and the fight will center at Washington, D. c. Kansas needs the society the least of any state in the union because most of the west has already gone dry
 The question of the birthplace of Amer ican Methodism, which has been under will be definitely settled within the next four years by a tribunal to be appointed for this purpose, if the conference adopts a report from the committee on priority. Baltimore and New York city each claim the first Methodist service in America.
 William J. Bryan spoke tonight at the Temperance anniversary.
 Former President Taft will address the conference Wednesday night on Our World Relations.

How to Look We'll Dressed

In the June American Magazine Is an account of one of the most, successful insurance solicitors in the country, who attributes a large part of his success to the fact that he always looks well dressed and prosperous.
 "If you have only one suit of clothes, keep that one suit clean and pressed all the time" he says. Press your trousers yourself every day if necessary. I have pressed my trousers lots of times. Keep your shoes shined.
 ''If you can afford several suits, change off from, one suit to another frequently and keep all of them spotless and well pressed. I never wear a suit longer than the second day at a time. To change every day is better. It gives the clothes a chance to rest I always hang my clothes OH hangers the minute I take them off. It gives them chance to come back into shape and the nap to come up again.
 Tt is great economy to have lots of good clothes. A>suit will last twice and three times as long and always look well if you keep changing off from one to another Besides, people get tired of seeing man in the same suit day after day for a whole sea son.

MAY
 CREATE DEACONESS
General Assembly to Con. sider Reports on Woman's
 Place in Church

Orlando Fla, May 21.-The general as
 sembly of the Presbyterian church in
 the United States which yesterday voted that women should not occupy pull pits in the south, tomorrow will take up the question of whether the office of deaconess shall be created. Should this be decided favorably to the women it
 will be necessary to outline the work of deaconess, as this church never has | recognized that office.
 The matter will come before the as- sembly in the form of two reports from the committee appointed last year to
 study the entire question of woman s position in the church. The majority reported in favor of continuing the pres ent custom, but the minority believed women should be granted greater lati- tude in their church work. The reports were taken up in sections, those relat- ing to pulpit work being disposed of yesterday after five hours of discus sion. Commissioners tonight were look ing forward to the debate tomorrow as
 possibly the most interesting of any ex- pected at this years meeting.
 Another report expected to creat great
 
 the representative of the assembly to the meeting of the executive commit tee of the Federal Council of Churches. The 1915 assembly at Newport News took exceptions to the action of the federal council in indorsing certain peace propaganda of the present federal administra ton, stating that it appeared that spiritual force was attempting to encroach upon temporal power. fnr- tha 1917 assem- blV are expected-Birmingham Chattanooga and Durant Okla. It is expected that
 the contest really will be between the two first named, as the mileage ex- ense for a meeting west of the Missis-
 sippi is a big item. Chattanooga is in the new Appalachian synoc and It's invita- ton will come from the First Presby- terian church.
 Visiting ministers filled local pulpits today and tonight the celebration of the centennial of the American Bible so- ciety took place.
 Atlantic City, N. J., May Civilian J. Bryan was the principal speaker at a meeting here today under the auspices of the Presbyterian general assembly, which is holding it's 12Sth annual con vention in this city. Mir. Bryan spoke for an hour, confining his remarks chief ly to temperance.
 "The most pathetic struggle in the world" he declared, lis not that on the battlefield between men inured to hard ships, but the mother struggling to save her boy from the influence of the sa- loon." Whenever one of the big po- litical parties adopts a dry platform he said, the other must follow as a matter of protection. Referring briefly to the European war, MT. Bryan said it was America's s duty to relieve the suffering on both sides and turn them like prodigal sons away from the husks upon which they feed and establish world wide peace"

Makes Good Bread

T have noticed several queries in the Corner from housewives inexperienced in bread making Maybe what I have to say on the subject may be helpful to such. l make all the bread eaten in our house. Much has been said of the three- hour bread. Although my way takes about double the time, it is much bet ter, as it is not so strong of yeast. At noon, when you boil your potatoes for dinner, drain the water off; measure one ouart Mash and add one cup of mashed
 potatoes, two tablespoons of sugar, scant half teaspoon of ginger, one cake of yeast which has been soaked in little water.
 Set in warm place until next morning, then set your sponge, using all your yeast, making fresh for each baking. If bread is set at 6, by 12 o'clock you have 1t baked. HELPER"

Was Too Late Then

From the ChcaSO News.
 In the days of his youth Senator Black burn of Kentucky was asked by friend to second a duel. He consented, and at sunrise the parties met. It was MT. Blackburns duty to say the last word concerning the terms of the duel One of the senator's colleagues recently said at a Washington dinner that, although MT. Blackburn faithfully performed the duty. the duel never took place.
 A murmur of "Why not?" went around the table at this remark.
 For very simple reason" continued MT. BlaclSburn's colleague. When Joe finished speaking it was too dark for a duel"

Dill Pickles

T notice in the H. H. c. a request from a young housekeeper for recipe for dill pickles. The following is the way a good German friend prepares them with excel lent results. We use two two-quart glass jars, thinking them nicer than stone checks. Make brine that will just float q fresh egg. (Almost any liquid will float one that is stale) Put a handful of fresh dill sprigs in the bottom of the can. Wash good sized cucumbers and dror them into the can with a few sprigs of dill between. When the can is filled with cu- cumbers, put in another handful of dill on top, crowdng down between the cu- cumbers; fill the glass jar to overflowing with the brine you have prepared. Screw down the tops, wipe off, and set away in a cool place. They will be fit for the table in about four weeks. H."

Wives to Be Pitied

In the June Woman's Home Compan- ion a writer says:
 T know plenty of women in town who pad their bills and connive with their dressmakers so as to cheat their husbands and get spending money. l also know some country women who can't get their husbands to put running water in the house. who cook on old fashoined-and broken-stoves, in in convenient, badly arranged kitchens, who have neither vacuum cleaner, fire less cooker. dishwasher, clothes wash CT, or anything else to make work easy. They don't even get the egg and butter money, or they might buy these things themselves"

All the recipes are written on the other side of the water and some would strike an American cook as unusual. ITO be put in a pan in the oven; sauce, butter and a quarter of a pint of cream; pepper salt, and some flour to thicken the sauce.
