their church duties, to strangers,
Christian communities have a system,
church system, a system establish
ed in the church organizations, where
by they reach the stranger when he
comes to town. Our churches ought to
develop their own systems to a great
er activity. This is said in the great
est good spirit and without the. slight
est fear that any one will mistake the
purpose of it.
Ours is not the only community with
out this organized method of dealing
with the stranger. Others are failing
to grasp the opportunity to warm the
new citizen to the activities in the
various church organizations. Others
besides us do not know that this is
the greatest opportunity to make the
stranger outside of christian family
feel that there is something in
christian living worth while.
We are missing cur opportunity
when we fail to locate the stranger
man or woman, and point him to a
real, electrifying christian welcome
The spirit Of it is catching. 1t will do
good.

VOTE To ENTERTAIN
800 \. NJ. c. A. BOYS

At an enthusiastic meeting OF the
Kiwanis club held yesterday in the
Y. NJ. c. A. dining room it was unan-
imously decided to entertain the 800
young men who will visit Phoenix TO
attend the Y. NJ. c. a. convention
which will be held here shortly. Plans
were formulated for an afternoon
drive over the valley.
The melting was addressed by Harry
Welch. secretary of the chamber of
commerce, who had as his topic the
Spirit OF Phoenix. 1t was shown in
his talk that many people often went
entirely out of their way in doing
things which would be of benefit to
the city of Phoenix and that the recent
courtesies shown by many people in the
attempt to house every onf during
fair week was one Of the points
which clearly indicated this spirit.
Professor Blome began a campaign
of lessons in singing in which all XII
wanians present took enthusiastic
part. The Kiwanians plan as a part
of their work to take an enthusiastic
stand and to work in many civic
causes

Women workers called by Mrs.
Thomas Il. Campbell roll call chair
man, began to gather at the Red Cross
headquarters in the chamber of com
merce building by o'clock although
they had not been called for until $3.50.
They were on hand and ready and
eager for work.
City Manager Walter Switzer was
also kept on the jump with the or
ganizatiOn Of the mems teams that
were to canvass the business districts.
Several members of the executive COM
suittee who could not serve yesterday,
went back TO their establishments
promising to each canvass his employees
TO the end that when the working COM
mittee did arrive they would find a
100 per cent list of members waiting
ior them.
Quite q number of the large estab-
lLshments assumed this obligation. The
1-andard oil company through Mr..
NanNaler. district sales manager,
called for 100 memberships. The Union
oil company through Mr.. Beach an
swcred for 20. The Arizona Egyptian
Cotton company asked for 125 buttons,
the Southwest Cotton company. 100;
and the Mccall Cotton company, so.
The committee headed by Charles
Stauffcr which had the job of canvass
ing the business houses north of Wash
ington and east OF Central proved the
whirlwiud performers. They swept
through the stores with barrage Of
irresistible smiles and theirs was the
first team to report for more supplies.
Fully half the establishments on which
they called were in the 100 per cent
class
Mrs Walter Switzer's company of
solicitors az the Hotel Adams were the
first To- require a renewal Of buttons
and membership rolls. Other groups
soon began to come in and after II
clock, Mrs. Biddings and Miss O'Con-
nell at headquarters were kept busy in
seeing that the wants of the different
workers we're filled. BY noontime
nearly $500 was reported. Since this
represented that many different lndi-
vidual memberships and was only a
small part Of the results secured by az
tho workers. it will be readily under
stood that the committees had all kept
hard a. work.

ROYAL COACH NOW
IN RENT SERVICE

George Irving added two of the hand
soonest motor cars in the country to
his quartette Of rent cars yesterday
when he purchased a Hudson Super Six
Royal Coach and a seven passenger
sedan from Cal Messner, local distri-
butor for the Hudson.
Irving, who is one of the pioneer taxi
men of the city, has always been
strong for the Hudson. True, he
started with a second hand Ford, but
he soon saw that in order to be a sue
cess his stand would have to be
equipped with larger cars. Up until
yesterday, he had four Hudson touring
cars, but now he has two touring cars
and two closed machines.
The Royal Coach and the seven
passenger sedan are two of the best
looking machines made. They combine
every elegance it is possible to put in
motor car with graceful lines and the
superb Hudson motor. The cars have
adjustable plate glass windows, sump-
| tous interior finishings, electric cigar
| lighters, ash trays and phone service
as well as being heated for cold
weather.
Irving's stand is at the corner Of
Central avenue and Washington.

PROVES It TAKES
MORE THAN SINGLE
SHOT To KILL LION

1t takes more than one shot from
high powered rifle to kill mountain
lion. This has been known for many
moons by hunters of big game, but it
has remained for NJ. f. Musgrave,
predatory animal inspector in charge
of the L. S. biological survey, to prove
it beyond doubt
He is in possession Of the skull OF
a mountain lion, recently killed by a
state hunter, which carries the scar of
a bullet which penetrated the brain
cavity and then made its exit from the
skull, without killing the animal.
Evidently the lion, which was about
years old, had been shot through the
head when rather young, for the bone
of the skull had grown over and
around the original hole. Where the
ball made it's exit, there is larger
scar on the bone than where it entered.
1t took two shots through the head
to kill the lion, which with the one
previously put through years ago,
made three bullets which had passed
through the animals Uranium.
The skull, which is quite a curiosity,
will be sent to Washington to be ex-
mined by government experts.
During the past week Mr.. Mus
grave has destroyed 1,01S scalps of
predatory animals including bob cats,
coyotes, lions and wolves. Only the
scalps are burned, the belts being sold
| by the government to aid in paying the
expenses of the state hunters who
roam the hills the year round in search
| of predatory animals. The burning of
| the scalps was in the presence of
! Groman Leftfield, a representative is
| here aiding the government men in
| the study OF botonical specimens
which are brought in.

For Peace Program

In an official announcement of the
purposes of the national campaign of
the American Red Cross to enroll dol
lar members for 1920. DR.. Livingston
Farrand. chairman of the central COM
mite of the organization, said:
The Red Cross comes before the
American people with a call for a large
and widely distributed membership
which shall give to its peace program
the spirit and effectiveness which made
its accomplishment in war astonishing
to Europe and a, source of satisfaction
to all patriotic Americans.
The emergencies of war created de-
mands which should ony be met with
great sums of money and these were
furnished by the people with unexam-
pied generosity. The peace program to
which the Red Cross has set its hand
calls for no such financial outlay but
does involve continuous cooperative
personal service which shall reach into
every corner of the country
For this reason, in the campaign set
for November to II, inclusive, the
Red Cross is stressing not money but
personal enlistment. What is neoes
sary to accomplish the important tasks
Of peace is the member with his dollar
anu MS UtdTl ana MS service.
The Red Cross proposes nothing
less than the mobilization Of the Amer
lean people in united, constructive
effort to eliminate preventable disease
and unnecessary misery from Amer
lean life. 1t calls upon the American
citizen 70 translate his patriotism into
action and service"
