 First, the various committees ap- pointed had performed we'll their task. A large and connections range greeted ones eyes, neat linoleum pro- tected the carpet and two long tables for service, promised to tighten the work of church dinners and suppers, given, alas, hitherto, under such diff faculties. Utensils for cooking, glass dishes most attractive for vegetables and salads, plates, platters, pitchers and glasses-it seems many had re- sponded to this effort on the part of the ladies to equip the place in the best and most useful manner.
 An Aid meeting was held from three to four and as this was the last meeting of the present yearS election of officers was in order. Mrs. Breer presided in the absence of both pres ident and vice president and the re. suit of nominations and voting was as follows:
 For president, Mrs. Ormond; 1st vice president, Mrs. H. Tepe; 2nd vice president, Mrs. P. Paul Finn; secreta, ry, Mrs. J. c. Kelly; treasurer, Mrs John Zalaha; organist, Mrs. Herbert Fay; choral director, Mrs. J. A. Da, wis.
 After business had been disposed of the hostesses for the afternoon Mrs. Herbert Fay, Mrs. S. S.

Mother Lamp Pest Killed.

A big truck team belonging to a Spanish firm on the southside, slipped their leash Friday afternoon and went tearing up Agassiz street hitched to a big truck. They took wallop at lamp post at the corner of Aspen avenue and completely eradicated it, cement base and all. They went through bunch of teams standing hitched to freight wagons and never touched one of them. No one was in jured but the lamp post and City Marshal Lang was along in a short time to "assassinate" damages.

 The chief social interest of the week centered about the big carnival staged by the girls of Bury hall.
 That there has been pleasant rival ry between the various dormitories goes without saying, but for. so worthy cause as the United War Workers campaign, it is more than justifiable. First we thought the masquerade ball given by the Camp bell hall girls was in class all by itself; then came the cabaret dinner than which Gin the language of the best linguists) there was no equal. To date we, would mention the car nival for most attractive affair it proved to be. To transform the Red Cross work rooms required no little time and effort, but the girls gave un- grudgingly of both with the result that softly shaded lights and myste- rious and interesting booths, with the 1008o patriotism and enthusiasm per vading the atmosphere, made an eve ming of fun long to be remembered The versatility of tastes displayed in large crowd had been we'll taken care of. One found here fishpond and let it be said, dainty gifts were the rule for those who fished. Did you desire peep into the future? We'll, clairvoyants were plentiful, and if only the inner man was to be sat isfied, tempting arrays of sandwiches candies and similar goodies were sold by dainty maids. To add to both profit and pleasure, the lively raf- fling of various articles contributed by Flagstaff's generous merchants made merriment for all.
 Later came dancing, a finale all ways welcome to the younger set The result financially was equal to the fun attendant and the girls proudly proclaim these figures as their war pledge, something around two hundred dollars. The girls of Bury hall are profuse in their thanks for the generous assistance rendered them by merchants and also to those who attended.
