Irish Home Rule Bill
 Posses British Common,

Continued from page D empire. Some of her greatest and most gallant warriors helped to fight for the empire. Some of her greatest statesmen-the shining wisdom of Burke and the stern leadership of Wellington-all contributed to build the empire.
 "All we ask IS that Ireland should not in a moment of anger cast away an inheritance which is as much hers as ours, but join in the empire it helped to build and adorn."
 Synopsis of Bill
 The fundamental principles laid down by the British government in the Irish home rule bill are:
 First: That the people of the six Ulster counties shall not be brought administratively under an outside par liament in Ireland.
 Second: That there shall not be any weakening of the reservations which have been made by the govern ment for the purpose of safeguarding the vital interests of the United King dom.
 At the time of the introduction of the measure it was said that the home rule the government intended to give Ire | land was based primarily on the dec- laration of Premier Lloyd George in a speech last December that Great Britain cannot accept separation" Under the bill two legislatures. with upper and lower houses, would be set up, one for the north of Ireland and the other for the south.
 If less than half the members of either legislature are validly elected or fail to swear allegiance to the king, 1 the king may dissolve the parliament and place the government in the hands of committee appointed by the lord lieutenant
 A council for Ireland" composed of A members, half of whom would be selected by each parliament, also is provided for. The powers of the coun- cil would be limited to those granted 1t by the two legislatures.
 The framers of the bill, it was said. hoped the council would form the nu- clcus around which could be built one parliament for the whole of Ireland
 The two legislatures would have full control of education, local government the land policy, transportation, old age pensions, insurance and other matters court of appeals for the whole of Ireland, presided over by the lord chan cellor, is provided for. Neither body may establish any particular religious creed or penalize anyone for belonging to or not belonging to any religious de- nomination.
 Control of the Royal Irish constabu- lary and the metropolitan police oi Dublin would be transferred by the i'm perial parliament to the Irish parlia- ment three years after the act comes into operation.
 Powers reserved to the imperia parliament embrace the crown and peace and war, foreign affairs, army and navy, coinage, defense, treason trade outside of Ireland, postoffices
 navigation Including merchant ship. ping, wireless and cables. and collec- tion of incomes and excess profit, taxes.
 Both north ana south Ireland would contribute for two years to the SUD. port of the empire.

tBy Associated Press,

Washington William D. Guthrie

Supreme Court petition for the re-
consideration of the court decision of
June 7th sustaining the validity of the
18th amendent and parts of the Vohl-
stead dry enforcement measure. The
petition contended that the 18th amend
ment was designed to deal exclusively
with intoxicating liquors and that the
petitioner sought to prove that beer of
ITS alcoholic content was not intoxi-
eating. 1t declared that the magnitude
of the question demanded more con-
sideration and that decision so far
reaching as this had not in the past
so far as the petitioner was able to
ascertain been handed down without an
explanation from the court of its con-
illusions. 1t declared that therefore it
did not seem irrevelent or improper to

hearing "that public opinion has doubt

PRAISE FOR CAMP
AT LAKE GENEVA
Miss PhiIlis Symmonds Re
turns from Two Weeks
Conference at Camp.
STUDY RECREATION

Miss Phillis Symmonds has just re-
turned from the Older Girls Camp

Avenue NJ. E. Sunday school, enthusi-
astic over the camp educational and
recreational advantages of the Camp
of Hundred Fires"
ut is called the Camp of Hundred
Fires" Miss Symmonds explained,
"because when the camp conferences
were first inaugurated in 1914 there
were Just one hundred girls in attend
ance. At the council meetings at night
each girl lighted tiny fire and thus
the camp became known as the Camp
of a Hundred Fires. The camp is
operated on the old Indian plan of
tribes and chiefs and since the at
tendance has increased so greatly
since the first year it is only posi-
BILE for each tribe to have a fire, but
the old name remains"
Girls from Various States.
"There we're two hundred and fifty
girls" Miss Symmonds continued,
representing twenty-One states in the
union and three provinces in Canada.
The girls range in age from sixteen
to twenty-five. The camp conferences
are promoted by the Young Peoples
Division Of the international Sunday
School association as training oppor-
tunities for the older girls of the
teens. The girls are taught the
things in play, work, and leadership
which they can easily reproduce in
their respective Sunday schools and
communities. The conferences cores
pond to a short course in Sunday
schol leadership training and hereto
fore the course was completed in three
years. Now, however, the course takes
four years and at the end of that
time graduates may continue studies
in training school,
"The camp is under the supervision
of John L. Alexander, director; P. G.
Orwig, associate director, and Herman
Bowman, business manager. Each day
is divided into equad periods for
study, physical development, recrea-
tion and conferences. The class work
includes study of four-fold life
social, mental, physical and religious;

activities; study of the Old Tesla
ment; playground work. The course

cit is interesting to note" Miss
Symmonds said. "That the greater
number of girls came from distant
points. Since the camp is situated
such a short distance from Kenosha it
seems as if there should be number

portunity to attend these conferences,
