disappearing peoples. During his
sermon DR.. Gailor said the Episco'
pal Church of America was faithful
to the principles of family tradi-
ton and was proud to be the
daughter of thee hurch of England.
He could not use languaget too
strong, he declared, to express the
gratitude which American church
men feel for the work of the So
ciety for The Propagation Of the
Gospel. Americans were strongly
interested in the continuance and
extension of the splendid service it
was rendering to the cause of the
Christian missions.
"We Americans" continued DR..
Gailor, may justly believe that the
appeal of the Christian missions and
the interest we have shown in them
have reacted in a blessing on our
national life"

MRS. Gait RAPS C. o. P.

New York, July 17.-Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage
Association, left here today for
Nashville, Tenn, to confer with
suffrage organizations in the cam
paign for ratification of the federal
suffrage amendment by the Ten
nessee Legislature.
"It is not enough for Senator
Harding to make an effort to secure
the 36th ratification" said Mrs.
Gait in a statement issued before
leaving here. "It is not enough to
point to past performances. The Re-
publican party must finish the task.
We now pin our faith to the Ten
nessee and North Carolina pros
pects."
"It is true" the statement. de-
clared, "that the Republican party
has a record of nearly five times as
many ratifications as the Demo,
cratic" but without the 36th State
"that record is like a great tail
without kite"
apparently" it added, ''it is the
Democrats who must supply the
kite"

STORK VISITS TRAIN
NEAR ARLINGTON

Hood River has new resident, a
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Baker, of Alton, Okla, who was born
Friday morning aboard o.. W r. &
N. passenger train No. 10. The train
was speeding here with Mr.. and Mrs.
Baker, en- route from Oklahoma to To-
cate on an orchard, when the stork
overlook them near Arlington. The
train was stopped at the eastern Ore
gon town. where a physician was
called, and held for more than a half
hour. Answering telegram, Mrs. w.
E. Shay met the couple and their new
born babe here. The parents are now
engaged in the problem Of choosing
name.
Little Miss Baker was greeted by
three new babies, each only few days
old, on her arrival at the Storksnest,
One was a daughter of Mr., and Mrs.
John E. Plog. The other two were
boys, children of Mr.. and Mrs. Ezra
Wall and Mr.. and Mrs. }. c. Connely.
Within twelve hours after the arrival

CLAIRE BAILEY
GOES OVER CLIFF

How Claire Bailey, of Mosier, who
plunged an estimated 400 feet down an
almost perpendicular cliff when his
automobile left the Highway between
here and that place Friday, escaped
death is considered a miracle by r. w.
Davidhizar, Mosier man here Saturday.
The car, light bug, leaped a parapet
wall near the summit of the Hood
River Mosier stretch. 1t was retarded
in the downward plunge by shrubs and
trees.
Mr.. Bailey, aged about %, was dis
covered Friday afternoon by W. +.
Chown, as the latter motored to Hood
River. He was staggering along the
road in a dazed condition and his cloth
ing was soaked with blood. The young
man was unable TO give an account of
the accident. Fearing that he might
have been accompanied by some one, a
Mosier party searching the foot of the
Columbia gorge Friday night discov-
cred the wrecked car. Blood on the
automobile and the trail he left in
climbing back to the Highway showed
that he fell the full distance to the
bottom of the cliff. The injured man,
Mr.. Davdhzar says climbed back up
points of iutting rock where an expert
enced mountaineer might have hesitat
ed. Except for the trail of blood he
had left along the perpendicular cliff,
Mr.. Davidhzar says, it would be i'm
possible to believe that one had as
cended the canyon at the point.
While Mr.. Bailey's injuries were not
serious, his body was badly lacerated.
Not an inch of the skin of his face, it
is said, remained free from deep cuts
and scratches When found his upper
body and clothing were soaked with
blood from deep wounds around his
knees. indicating that he had hung with
his head suspended for some time.
The accident of Friday afternoon
lead to a petition to the State Highway
Commission to erect substantial guards
or ratings along the lofty grade. ac-
cording to Mark A. Mayer, here Satur-
day with Capt. H. H. Moore. Ortley
orchardist.
IL understand" said Mr.. Mayer.
that the plans call for railings when
the road is paved, but traffic is heavy
over the route and the low parapet curb
is insufficient.
