1 IN CONTEST BY l MARROW MARGIN BEATS OUT SHELDON AND BUR NETT IN THRILLING FINISH
 THREE MONEY CARS CROSS THE
 TAPE WITHIN FIVE SECONDS
 OF EACH OTHER.
 The SAY persons who paid theil good money to see the auto race al Exposition park Thursday afternoon were given the full worth of what they paid out. This is the sum of all the expressions of opinion heard about tow yesterday.
 Tom Gibson, coming rom third place. and not by any means good third at that. after the fiftieth lap with a sustained spurt passed both Sheldon and Burnett, driving Tay,or's entry, and won first place from the latter by the narrow margin of two seconds. Robbie finished five sec onds behind Gibson and three behind Burnett.
 It wasn't anybody's race until the judges announced the winner. Sc closely were the three machines punched during the last five rounds that it tool: stop watch to det"r mine just who was leading, and the time keepers had their work cut out out for them. During the latter half of the race Sheldon took the lead away from Burnett several times, only to fall back to second place from which he dropped into third money when Gibson overlook the Taylor en try in the last round.
 Searle Burnett's driving was really a feature. A youngster without pre-. vious experience on track, he swung his machine next to the pole and, talk. ing the lead early in the game, was not headed until the last minute Altho hectored by Sheldon and passed by the latter more than once, he never lost his head for a minute and drove as if his were the only entry in the race.
 Sheldon drove his usual good race and had he not experienced difficulty selecting smooth trail for his me shanician might have led the way home. Gibson had little trouble with his coil just after starting but got his machine working in fine shape about the tenth mile. He held his place until the fifteenth mile and then slowly crept up on the leaders until he was in third place, coming from there to first in the last five miles # the 30 mile run.
 Enos. driving Groves "Red Devil" had engine trouble early in the game but kept at it and really drove fine race from then to the finish. Burgess, who finished fourth about half a lap behind Sheldon. also drove good race. The sixth entry. Fred Robin. son. blew tire on the fifteenth lap and withdrew.
 The winners and their time follows:
 First-Gibson, 1 hour, minutes 47 seconds.
 Second Burnett, 1 hour 6 minutes, 49 seconds. '
 Third--Shcldon. hour minutes, 52 seconds.
 Fourth-Burgess.
 Fifth--Enos.
 The winner of the race was enthu. siastically received by the crowd which applauded his Garrison finish to the echo. Thursday night Gibson blew himself of most of his winnings by feeding a bunch of his friends at the New Model. Nineteen covers were laid at the banquet table and some spread was placed before the gang.

TWO SPECIAL EPISCOPAL
 SERVICES HELD TODAY

At the Church of the Epiphany to- day, November IA, two special meet ings will be held, at which the com municants and friends of the church will be addressed by MT. Eastman, who has been selected to tour the eighth province of the Episcopal church in the interest of the nation wide campaign.
 The nationwide campaign, like kin dred movements in other religious communions, has for it's aim and pur- pose to spiritualize all the energies. unify all the interests, coordinate all the activities, and mobilize all the re- sources of the church.
 It is emphatically not merely an other "drivep for money. For, how ever much money may be raised, the essential thing in this campaign is to awaken the church spiritually, and to make every member alive to the priv ileges, obligations, and opportunities of religion. A
 Therefore the rector of the local church is very anxious that MT. East man receive a good hearing. Will not the members of the congregation make the necessary effort to be pres ent? The women's meeting will be held at 8 D. m., today, at the church, and the mems meeting will be at 8 o'clock tonight, at the church.

HEAVENS NEW SONG

Heavens New Song," will be the theme of the rector's sermon next Sunday morning at the Church of the Epiphany, at the II o'clock morning service.
 It is a joy to annoGnce that the at tendance at this church has been very steadily increasing during the past month. Prospects are bright for sec ing it grow to what. it should be. The Bible assures us of the presence of Christ if only two or three are gath cred together in His name; but the service of the church is made increas- ingly inspiring when the House of God is filled with worshippers. If you did not come to church last Sunday, will you notemake it point to come next Sunday? Make it the rule of your life to attend every Sunday, and bring someone with you.
 The music of the choir was much appreciated last Sunday, and we fully exnect it to be continually improved.
 Let us fill the church and worship God joyfully.

EDUCATORS MAP
 THRIFT COURSE FOR SCHOOLS
N. E. A. Head Urges the Need of Savings Study in
 Our Schools.

San Francisco, Cal--Before the end standardized course in thrift and say. ing in every public school in the seven states of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, according to plans worked out by the state superintendents of public instructor of the West in CO., operation with the war loan organiza. tion. The superintendent of public instruction in each state will serve as state director of thrift education
 It is not at all unlikely that as re- suit of this move in the West to found better American citizenship by the teaching and practice of thrift in the public schools that the idea will be taken up throughout the United States. In this connection, Mrs. Jo. sephine Corliss Preston, state super.n. tendent of public instruction for the state of Washington and president of the National Educational Association, has written as follows to each member of the executive committee Of the as- soc.ation:
 Here in the West we are going to put in every public school standard. ized course in thrift and attempt to teach it on plane with the funda. mentals Of the common school branches. In the nature of labora- tory in connection with the course. savings societies will be organized in each school with the idea of making the course habit-fo.ming.
 T cannot too strongly recommend Co you as member of the executive committee that every state in the Union take steps immediately to in. troduce similar courses in the curric. ulum Of every public school in Amer. ica, We have reached a danger point in the American social and economic structure and it lies with us who are charged with the public education of our citizens to undertake the responsi. bility of meeting not only the present crisis, but the vital need for ~perma. nent thrift as national habit"
 First available reports of savings work among school pupils this term come from the San Francisco schools through Philip J. lawler, manager of the school savings department of the Bank of Italy, which is cooperating with the government. The report shows total of ;2s, ,437s0 saved and invested in Thrift, War Savings and School Penny Stamps in 73 school days. The number of students invest. ing was 65.14S.
