DEIEGATIoN AT THEIR WEEK.
LY LUNCHEON.

The Kiwanis Club was host yester-
dav TO the engineers sent here by the
state road department, and also to the
Santa Rosa county delegation which
came to Pensacola to take part in the
deliberations of the engineers. The
guests remained through the luncheon
and heard a short talk by DIR. NJ. r.
Shawkey. state superintendent of
schools of West Virginia, and Mrs.
Lillian Parsons Carlisle, southern or
ganizer for the National Marine
League
Following the luncheon the commit
tee on public affairs introduced reso-
luton, censoring the president OF the
Chamber of Commerce for his policy
of depreciating the merits of the city
land it's citizens and calling on all
members of the Chamber of Commerce
to join that organization so that 1t
may have the benefit of some of the
Kiwanis energy and enthusiasm"

their applications for membership in
the Chamber of Commerce to Chairman

membership. Of those present at yes
terday's meeting % We're already mem
bers of the Chamber.
DIR. Shawkey in his talk, the theme
Of which was 'Teac ching Americanism
in Schools" urged that more effort
should be made to teach that the ma
jority of men in public life are hon
est and that the government, in its
principals, is right. He believes that
service should be the keynote of Amer

great wealth and power should aid the
less fortunate peoples of the earth.
Mrs. Carlisles talk was wholly on
the need for America to become more
vitality interested in shipping. She
urged that the inland cities be taught
to think in terms of ships, and that
the seaport towns also learn the
need Of keeping the American flag
on the seas. Following Mrs. Carlisle's
talk, Acting chief Langford appointed
t L. Cant, L. V. HoIsberry and J. c.
Watson on a committee to confer with
similar committees from the Chamber
