Miss Cummings Class Host to
Heroes Luncheon Served.

Under the auspices OF Miss Cum

most enjoyable scene was witnessed
Yesterday in the old historic building
and the church yard, when ninety
soldiers from the Walter Reed Hos
pital were entertained.
This class numbers sixteen mem

returned oversea soldiers, whom
their own home town has been hon
oriEP during the past week, and for
whose sake the chuch and church
yard has been kept open every Sun
day afternoon for the enjoyment of
other boys in uniform, and it was
the wounded soldiers their comrades
in arms, that TINS class entertained
yesterday.
When the appeal for automobiles
was made by Clyde c. Lamond, he
met with a hearty and insbantane-
Gus response and over forty were
gladly offered for the occasion
At 2 'clock they assembled at the
Chamber of Commerce for the Wal
ter Reed Hospital and brought the
boys back, taking them first to the
Mason, Hall where they were
seated and given an address of well
come by W. B. Davis, worshipful
master of the lodge. He then turn
ed them over to the custodian, G.
w. Zachary, who gave them a de-
tailed account Of the relics there
contained.

Alexandria boys were among the
wounded and their delight can better
be imagined than described.
lThe officer in charge said: this
kind of Sunday entertainment had
never before been given the boys,
only baseball and amusement. of that
nature.
One of the gentlemen who took
the boys back again said three boys
asked him to leave them at church
in Washington, as they had not been
in church for two years and the
services at Christ Church had awak-
ened old memories and old desires.
So in every sense it was day well
spent, and most sincere thanks are
offered each and all who contributed
to its success.

The triple alliance, which is re-

of the Miners Federation of Great

rating system for employees, similar
to that used in the army was urged

problems by speakers Of round table

proved of great value in placing men,
had proved a valuable check on pro-

stimulated ambition among the work

training, and the workers in them are
hungry for the training. There are
100000 adults in this category. But
we should begin to train the boyn and
girls of fourteen years of age and not
wait until they are eighteen or twenty
years old"

just at a time when the official es-

Just before the engineers visited the
White House Democratic National
Chairman Cummings reported to the
president on his political inspection
trip over the country, telling Mr. Will
son of the growing Importance Of ac-
tlon to reduce the cost of living. What
form that action will take. when it
comes, cannot be conjectured even
from the fact that official investiga-
lions of various kinds of alleged prof.
teering are under way or proposed.
The immediate result of all this was
a conference of cabinet members and
heads of bureaus called by Attorney
General Palmer for the purpose OF
discussing the situation and possible
remedies. The government will seek
to stop and punish profiteering, to de-

Race riots and strikes made Chicago
the news center of the country for the
week, and the news from it was SEN
sational and plentiful Starting in a
trifling quarrel over the color line"
at a bathing beach, real race war
sprang up with startling suddenness
and quickly spread throughout the
South side of the city, where most of
the negroes live, and thence to the
downtown business district, with spo-
radio outbreaks in other regions Be
fore the authorities got the situation
under control nearly two score per-
sons had been killed and several hun
bred wounded. For several days the
mayor insisted the police could re-
store order, but realization of his mis-
take was forced on him and he called
on the governor for assistance from
the state militia. Several regiments
al once occupied the "black belt"
However, the establishment of martial
law was avoided and thus the city
saved it's face"
There is no dosbt that the casualty
lists of the race war were kept down
by the fact that the strike of the
street car men was coincideAt with
the riots Not surface or elevated

had been impending for some time,
