FIELD SECRETARY CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
SOCIETY SPEAKS HERE THURSDAY

Mr.. Wyatt A. Taylor of Columbia,
S. c., field secretary of the ALL
South Christian Endeavor Extension
committee, will arrive in Pensacola
this week, and will hold two import
ant meetings on Thursday at the tab
ernacle, one at three o'clock in the
afternoon, Junior Rally for all the
boys and girls of the city, and the
other on Thursday evening at $50
o'clock--a Young Peoples Rally.
These meetings win include not only
the members of the Christian En-
deavor societies of the city, but all
church societies of young people are
invited to join in these union services.
Mr.. Taylor is one of the four Chris
tian Endeavor Field Workers at work
in the Southern states organizing and

strengthening Christian Endeavor
societies and unions. He is one of the
finest young men in the South, a
splendid leader of young people. He
was born in South Carolina and has
done a great service for the young
people of his own state. He was the
first president of their State Union
and has brought it to its present
high state of efficiency.
There are three Christian En-
deavor societies in Pensacola, those
of the First Presbyterian church, the
Knox Presbyterian church and the
First Christian church, but these
meetings are to include all young
peoples societies in all churches of
the city, and will no doubt be most
successful under the leadership Of
Mr.. Wyatt Taylor.

CHARITY BALL UNDER AUSPICES
OF THE RED CROSS UNIT

The social event of Easter week
will be the charity ball to be given
by the ladies of the Pensacola unit
of the American Red Cross, which
will take place at the Keyser audi
forum on the evening of Easter Mon
day, April 9th.
One of the most brilliant functions
which has ever been given in the
city was the charity ball which was
given several years ago for the bene-
fit of the Belgian relief fund.
All who remember this ball will
acknowledge its great success and
beauty, but it is hoped to make the
ball of Easter week even more bril-
liant and successful. The needs of
Belgium appealed at the time as
nothing else could. But that appeal
was as nothing, compared to the need

High School Notes

High school students are rejoic-
ing over the fact that they no longer
need to use their clean pocket hand
kerchiefs to wipe off their shoes ev-
cry time they change classes by
means of the fire escape and base
ment steps. The wide new walks
leading to and around the building
not only save them this most exas
perating inconvenience, but they lend
dignity to the whole outside appear
ance of the school, and give the stu
dents an added sense of satisfaction
in their temporary school home.
The effect of long, patient work is
showing most happily now. The mu-
sic and dramatic departments and
the orchestra are constantly giving
evidences of advancement. Monday
night they entertained the Parent
Teachers Association. Tuesday aft
ernoon the orchestra and the chorus
furnished music for the chapel exer-
cises.
The chapel exercises have proven
a most satisfactory innovation The
time is given to discussion with and
by the student body and faculty,
knowledge of and participation in all
the school affairs arouse school and
class spirit as nothing else could
The exercises are opened and closed
with the appropriate patriotic songs
the whole school singing America
and The Star-Spangled Banner.
Boys Athletics.
Baseball is the cry of the times
The Twilight league played two
games this week-Senior- Freshman
the Sophomore-Freshman, in the
former the Seniors winning; in the
latter, the Sophomores. Another
game, Senior Sophomore, will b:
played Monday.

which faces the country today-the
protection of our own.
There is something in every heart
which responds to the call of coun-
try. That is the reason that day
after day women and girls, eager,
earnest, enthusiastic, crowd the head
quarters of the Red Cross to capacity,
and give to the work such singleness
of purpose and conservation as moth
ing else has aroused in years-not
perhaps since the days of the war be 10
tween the states.
The women who constitute the
membership of the Red Cross are
representative of every section and
interest of the city, and those who a1e
at the head of the charity ball are
bending every effort to insure its be-
ing a wonderful financial as well as
a social success.

My debt to you, Beloved,
Is one I cannot pay
In any coin of any realm
On any reckoning day;
For where is he shall figure

When all the dreams were dead
Or where is the appraiser
Who shall the claim compute
When all the songs were mute?

purposes to cut ont our service and
use coal providing they have coal to
USE" Johnson said.
Hope Depends on Weather.
Il do not believe there viii be a
complete exhaustion of the natural gas
this winter but its cinch the service
now obtaining won't be any better
than it now is so long as this kind of
weather continues
When the second largest peak period
of the day came, at noon, the dinner
hour. there was not enough gas in
many homes for cooking purposes
The heaviest peak of the day comes
about o'clock in the evening and
when that peak arrives today the gas
shortage will probably be much great
er than it was at noon.
Richmond is the only Indiana city
receiving a gas supply from the West
Virginia fields which has any gas to-
day
There was barely enough gas in the
Palladium pipes today to operate the
machinery in the composing and press
rooms.
Hardware stores report brisk bust
ness today in the sale of coal oil and

The cold wave which now holds the
ing blow to the Richmond Light, Heat
& Power company. This fact is ad-
mitted by company officials.
With the almost complete exhaust.
ion of the city's natural gas supply
the Light, Heat T. Power company has,
OF course, suffered considerable loss
in business.
Many people who have been using
cas- in their furnaces have had their
meters taken out and are now using
coal. For the most part these people
are ones who had an emergency supply
of coal on hand.
Can't Get Coal Supply.
People who have depended upon gas
TO heat their home and who neglected
TO secure reserve supply of coal are
now realizing that ii is almost as diff
cult to secure coal as it Is to obtain
an adequate amount OF gas.
Answering complaints Of some OF
the gas consumers because the COM
pany had not completely shut off its
inadequate natural gas supply and
turned artificial gas into the mains
Manager N. Fl. Johnson of the Light,
Heat & Power company said that I'M
der existing conditions not as good
service could be given with artificial
gas as with natural gas.
The maximum pressure which can
be provided for artificial gas is Ia
ounces compared with two ounce
pressure the natural gas was showing
at II o'clock this morning Artificial
gas provides 600 heat units compared
20 1850 for natural gas.
Makes Service impossible.
With many homes using gas in fur
naces, heating stoves and CRATES, and
TO practical method of requiring gas
10 be used only in cooking ranges,
Manager Johnson points out that he
small pressure which could be Fro
vided for artificial gas would make
such service much worse than now
obtained from natural gas.
Johnson put the question of shut
ting off the natural gas and turning
artificial gas into the mains up to
Mayor Robbins and City Attorney
Bond today and both agreed with him
that it would be best for the time being
to continue the use OF the natural sup ,,
ply.
Although it means loss of business

been using natural gas for heating
