history Of the constitution and
urged continuous devotion to the
principals Of It.
The demonstration was carried
out mainly to counteract the spread
of radicalism in accordance with q
nationwide America first move
ment.

STILL IN SEARCH
OF SCHOOL ROOMS

Rooms suitable for recitation
rooms are still being sought by the
East Moline board Of education, In
its effort to relieve congested con-
ditions existant In the schools. Sew
eral vacant store buildings con-
veniently located have been sug-
gested but in most cases do not
comply with regulations Of the
board Of health.
Among the possible sites Is the
room at 661 Fifteenth avenue, for
merly occupied by the Heider Bros
shoe store. The room is thought
unsuitable, however, because Of in
sufficient lighting facilities. One OF
the most probable sites is the one
story frame building at Seventh
street and Seventeenth avenue,
formerly q grocery store. which is
owned BY DR.. H. H. Long Of Orion.
Fourteen years ago the building
was used as school. A good deal
OF repair work would have to be
done before 1t could be used for
similar purposes now.
The plan Of renting q building
instead Of purchasing portable
schools was adopted because it was
believed It would involve less ex-
pense at the outset, the board being
pressed for money at this time.
Added to the expense of renting
rooms will be the cost Of employ
ing extra teachers. A meeting Of
the school officials will be held in
q few days and reports of the
members relative to the solution OF
the congestion problem given.

CONGREGATION
BUILDS CHURCH
Members Of East Moline Christian
Church Plan to Erect Build
Ing In On Day.

Converting q lumber pile into a
church building in one day was not
too great a task for the members Of
the Christian church Of East Mo-
line. They started the laying Of the
church floor yesterday morning and
finished it before night All the
rest of the building is to be erected
today, fifty Of the members OBJ
tanning leave Of absence from their
regular business to aid in the work.
The women Of the congregation
will serve dinner and supper on the
grounds at the corner Of Sixteenth
street and Second avenue, where
the new church is to stand tomor-
row. They will also aid in furnish
ing the church and expect to put
the curtains up tonight so that all
will be In readiness for the Sabbath
services.
Hold Evangelistic services. \
On Sunday Rev. w. B. Oliver. the
church pastor, will open q three
weeks session Of evangelistic meet
ings. The Grenell school in which
the services have previously been
held was considered too small to
accommodate the crowds that are
expected to attend these sessions
and for that reason it was decided
to erect a temporary structure.
The church has made rapid
growth since 1t was started IL
months ago. Money has been rails
ed for the purchase Of property and
the fund for erection Of . perma-
nent church is already under way.

Laughlin to Testify.

The principal witness in the case,
Dan Laughlin, is expected to testify
today.
All attempts to locate the men
who abandoned the car in which
they escaped from Aledo have failed
so-far. SeverG clues have been fol-
lowed but proved to be blind leads.
Although no cars were sent in pur-
suit of the fleeing gunner, it is al
most certain that they abandoned
the car and started on foot for the
tri-cities. The theory that they
have gone into hiding in the vicin-
ity of Presumption has not been
given much credit,
