Missionary Meeting

The Missionary Society of the Pres
byterian Church held its monthly
meeting Wednesday at p. m. at the
Manse. The society had invited the
families of the congregation to a pic
mic supper on the church lawn at z
p. m. which was well attended and a
pleasant social evening was spent,
the society furnishing ice tea and ice
cream for the company. The pastor
reviewed briefly the work of the
church the past three years and the
encouraging growth inspite of the
changes caused by the war, its severe
demands on the people, and the Flu
epidemic which interfered so serious
ly with the church work the past year.
Not withstanding these hindrances the
attendance upon church services and
all the activities of the church were
never more gratifying than at present
and the prospect for a steady united
forward movement by the church was
never more suspicious and hopeful

Canada CIings to Protection.

The Free-Trade propaganda of the
grain growers of Canada has made
small progress thus far. Protection
continues to be the policy of the Do
minion Government. The budget
law came up for final action June 10.
The Free-Trade minority undertook
to drive in an entering wedge in the
shape of the McMaster amendment.
This amendment proposed that mach
inery for the development of nation
al resources and all materials would
be admitted free of duty, and that the
duties on all necessaries of life
should be removed or substantially
reduced 1t also proposed to accept
the reciprocity % treaty with the
United States. The McAIaster Free
Trade amendment was defeated by
a government majority of 81 votes,
and the budget law by majority of
so votes Canada does not propose
to abandon the protection policy.

Pending further working out of the plan. Attorney Gen eral Palmer will not pass on the legal ity question and no request for an opinion is now pending before him. He has not taken official and formal cog uizance of the industrial boards ac- tivities and will refrain from doing so 3t least temporarily.

FLARES ID BE USED !. ID MARK DEVIATION FROM ATLANTICPA

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Flame and smoke flares developed during the war and improved recently by chemical eX- perts of the army will be factors in the transatlantic flight to be undertaken next month by naval seaplanes.
 By dropping these flares at intervals, the aviators will be able to determine the drifting of their planes in the cross winds and make the corrections neces- sary 10 keep them on their course.
 Commander J. H. Towers. in charge Of preparations for the flight, explained today that the flares would be in the shape of bombs which upon striking the water, would give off flame and smoke, the one visible for long dis tances at night and the other by day
 The flares would remain very sta tionary on the water and thereby indi- cate the angle at which the machines were being driven from a straight line. 1 This is one of the many details which 1 officers in charge of the planes for the 1 flight have had to work out.
 Numerous experiments with the planes themselves also have been nee ! essary. None of the three of the N. C. i type thus far completed, is ready for the start Of the overseas voyage.
 The destroyer Barney. which is cruising along the North Atlantic coast to select possible landing places for the machines as well as 6 suitable starting point for the overseas voyage, now is enroute to New Foundland from Hal flax

 WILL BE TRIED MAY 1

The first suits brought under the Red Light abatement act will be tried before Judge Lyman on May 1.
 arhis was the day set by the court yesterday for the trial of Kate Sabra and Martin Gold, in the actions brought by George Brisbois, at the re- lation of the people of the state of Arizona against the two defendants.
 Mrs. Sabra is alleged to have per mitted her property in China Alley to be used for purposes of prostitution and Gold to have allowed his holdings in Gold Alley to be similarly used. Declared a public nuisance by the po- lice chief in his complaint, the answer filed by the defendants passed the blame to the city authorities. They professed their ignorance that the place was being used for the purposes complained of and alleged that they had not been given warning by the officers. The police were further put on the defensive in the answer and the case promises much in the way of sensations when it comes to trial.

EXCELLEN TPR0CRAM GIVEN LAST NIGHT
 BY MUSICIANS CLUB

The Musicians club gave it's an- nual open meeting at the Woman's club last evening to an audience brought together by invitation of the members.
 ! The cello selections by Dwight Deity were in two groups of three each, the 1 first group opening the evenings pro- | gram. and being received with such | enthusiasm as to demand an encore, | "Bercluse" from Jocelyn. The second | group closed with the ever popular Gavotte by Pepper, and for an encore his cello sang Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes MT. Deity was sym l pathetically and artistically accom- panied by his mother, Mrs. W. E. Deity.
 An exceedingly pleasing feature and of exceptional merit were the whistling | solos of Miss Leola Mcdowell, who 1 offered ''The Springtime of Youth" and Santaniza, and gave as an encore Cadmans "At Dawning."
 1 Miss Cordelia Whittemore Hulburd's s l piano selections were "Gondoleria," by . Liszt and Rigoletto paraphrase by Verdi Lisczt The first was explained ! by Miss Hunburd as a transcription from an old Venetian boat song. The second, fairly bristling with technical difficulties, gave opportunity for the 1 display of the pianiste's unusual ac- 1 complishments in the interpretation ! of the master composers arrangement ] of the great quartette from Verdi's opera.
 Miss Hulburd is a pupil of Joseffy and of Madame Carreno. She has ap- peared but rarely as yet before Phoe- nix audiences since opening her studio here last September but scored an in- stant and full success last evening be- fore a most discriminat ting audience.
 As an encore Miss Hunburd gave
 The Maidens Wish by Chopin 1 LisZt.
 Miss Lotta Fahlen, with Miss Flea nor Lewis at the piano, sang I've Been Roaming and ''The Snow" and as an encore You Never Know The second part of the clubs pro- gram consisted of selections from the
 opera Robin Hood" and were intro duced by William Conrad Mills, the clubs director. The soloists were Mrs. c. B. Wells as "Annabelle," Mrs ]. l w. Sims as f'Alan- Dale R. H. Eos ter as twill Scarlett," and J. H. Cor don as Robin Hood" substituting for
 Miss Elizabeth Jones of Mesa. Miss
 Alice B.aNorton sang the Forest song most acceptably.

 company made q distinct hit in it's
 initial appearance and promises to at
 once become an important element in
