MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT OF
ZION PREPARATORY SCHOOL
By C.. E.. Bayler.

The aim of the Manual Training Depart
ment Of Zion Schools, like the aim of the
school itself, is to train more efficient citizens
in the Kingdom Of God, Thoroughly fur
nished unto all good works"
Explicitly speaking, the object of the course
is to impart technical skill in the use of tools
and materials which form the basis of the
various building and wood working trades.
While the boys are in the early years of de-
velopment and at the age when habits of
thought and action are quickly formed, their
hands are taught cunning in useful crafts
which at least will prove highly useful and
convenient in after life, whatever their voca-
zion or profession.
: WE LEARN TO DO BY DOING. The
course imparts practical knowledge. The
pupils after finishing a few practice exercises
are given a series of drills in furniture con-
struction. The exercises become more COM
pick and difficult as the course progresses and
involve variety Of joints, styles Of construc-
tion and methods of finishing. Practice is
given both in designing articles for special
use and in working from blue prints. Talks
are also given by the instructor on the use
and sharpening of tools, methods Of construc-
ton and styles of finish.

Herman F. Schuettler has been appointed
chief of police of Chicago to succeed Charles
c. Healy, who recently resigned and who is
now under 100000 bond on charges of con-
spiracy and bribery.

ZION INSTITUTIONS AND INDUSTRIES
INVESTMENT DEPARTMENT

Our fiscal year closes January 31st. We
are glad to report the largest volume of
business the Zion Institutions and Industries
have ever had Many improvements have
been made in the buildings and equipment,
contemplated. The organizations of the
various Institutions have been improved and
strengthened and the number of co-workers
increased.
We are looking forward to 1917, and ex-
pect by the Grace Of God and the hearty CO.
operation Of Zion people, to accomplish even
greater things for the extension of His King
dom and establishment Of Zion City. There
is plenty to do and the laborers are few, yet
we believe there are many throughout the
world who love God and are interested and
want at part in establishing the only Zion
(Kingdom of God) City in the world.
All who read this can help
By their prayers,
investments,
I" g purchase of real estate
purchase of merchandise from Zion
Institutions and Industries,
Deposits in Zion Bank,
90 &c sending out the Zion literature,
cooperation in every way.
But the important thing to do is to ACT.
START NOW and do the things WE CAN
DO, and pray that God will enable us to do
more and greater things The time is short,
the work is large, the opportunities plentiful
and the responsibility is ours. We cannot
afford to delay.
Faithfully yours

Despite the decrease in gold output
of more than $4,000. 900, Nevada con-
tinues to hold fourth place as a gold
producer. as in 1915. The following
states are higher in gold production:
California, Colorado and Alaska.
II will be observed that there was
a decrease of nearly a million ounces
of silver. but owing to the higher price
of silver there was an increase in
value of output amounting to nearly
two million dollars. Notwithstanding
this fall in silver production, Nevada
would probably have continued 10
hold first place as a silver producer
had it not been for the large increase
of silver produced as a b~y-product OF
D D production in the states OF
Montana and Utah. This resulted in
placing Montana first and Utah sec
ond. while Nevada was forced into
third place. While the production of
the Tonopah district decreased, that
of the Rochester district increased IN
both gold and silver. In the Comstock
district there was an increase of ap-
proximately 60 per cent in the value
of the gold and silver output.

ONE AUTO RACE
IS CERTAINTY
Chicago Derby Will Be Staged
Over 250-Mile Route
In June

CHICAGO. April 2s-Chicago's
third annual auto derby will be
held on the Chicago speedway. Sat
urday afternoon. June 10.
After q month OF impatient wait
ing and enforced inactivity, due TO
the entrance OF the United States In
the world war. the local promoters
have reached this definite decision.
making only one change In their
original plans by advancing the
date OF the speed classic from June
. 70 June is. The change In date
viii give the Chicago speedway on
cials an opportunity TO postpone the
derby to June % provided they run
afoul of Indictment weather on
June Is.
The race win Be $50 miles IN
length and the purse viii total sil,-
900, the FIRST 10 drivers TO finish
dividing $50. 900 OF this amount and
$500 going 70 the leader at the oou-
pletion OF 100 and 200 milea
President David +. Reid Ia conf
dent that the eIigencles resulting
from the war preparations will not
be an obstacle towards the success
OF the auto derby. The drivers and
mechAnicians. who have volunteered
for military service either as aero
plane pilots or chauffeurs OF armor-
cd cars. probably will not be called
to the colors until the middle OF the
summer, as at the present time the
government has not the equipment
that they will need both in train
ing camps and in the field.
With the indianapolis race
abandoned and the postponement
OF the Sheepshead Bay speedway
opening from May 10 10 summer.
the spring OF 1917 promises to be a
lean season for the drivers after
their race OF prontless inactivity"
said President Reid. I'm deciding
to hold our race in June. we have
no intentions OF interfering with the
use OF the drivers and mechanicians
by the military authorities, but In
stead aim 10 give them an opporN
tunity 20 win some prize money in
their chosen vocation and make
enough expense money 20 tide them
over until the army needs them.
With automobile racing abandoned,
they will be forced TO secure tempo
rary employment at comparatively
low wages while waiting TO serve
the nation in the air or at the
wheels OF armored cars"
In addition TO receiving assur.
ances that at least four American
teams OF three cars each-Mercsr,
Hudson. StutK and Duesenberg-
will enter, President Reid has re-
ceived scores OF inquiries from indi-
viduAl entrants for entry blanks and
now is preparing % bring the Eng
