MRS. WILLIAM SWAN
HAS GONE TO REST

The many friends of Mrs. William
Swan will be panied to learn of her
death at her home in Lambertville,
New Jersey, where she has lived
since the death of her husband Rev.
William Swan, former pastor Of
the Presbyterian churches of Snow
Hill and Stockton, Md.
Mrs. Swan spent several weeks in
Snow Hill in the summer of last
year, renewing old friendships of
former years. A part of every sum-
mer for many years she spent at
Mortified, Mass, and after a stay
there this summer she visited
BAHAMA, New York, where she had
lived in her early married life, and
returned from there to Lambertville
by long and tedious journey in her
last illness. She did not realize she
was so near the Heavenly home
The Rev. Theron Lee. pastor of
her church at Lambertville, says in
THE Lambertville Beacon" in re-
gard to her. THAT the work she did
in the church, in the Sabbath School
and in the cause of Foreign Mis-
sions can never be weighed or meas
ured by earthly standards. Words
cannot convey the church's sense of
obligation to her for her indefatiga-
BILE work and enthusiasm. Her
classes in Missions will never be for
gotten. As the honored President
of the Woman's Presbyterial Society
her influence extended far and wide.
1t would be fine tribute to any
woman to say that no one can take
her place in leadership and devotion,
but an even finer tribute can be
given Mrs. Swan. in that she has
trained other women through these
years into leadership, enthusiasm,
and God-filled lives. women who will
not see her cause fail, her standards
lowered. her work languish. but who
will unite TO carry on with her spirit
and her devotion her dearest tasks"

HIGH SCHOOL TOSSERS
LACK HALL FOR SERIES

Faculty athletic advisers of the
high schools are wrestling with their
annual problem. that of procuring a
court for the scholastic league basket
ball games With the opening of the
championship series less than a month
distant. no satisfactory playing floor
has been found. and it now seems that
the schools must pay out a consider
able sum of money for hall in which
to conduct the engagements. For
several weeks. the advisory board
has been casting about for a playing
floor. but in all instances where pro-
prietors of establishments have been
approached the high school folk have
been politely rebuffed.
The only gymnasium owned by the
schools that really is large enough
for the game is at Central High
School. but the galleries are not of
SUFFICIENT size to accommodate the
throngs that attend the contests
1t appears that the schools will have
to return to the Coliseum, where the
series was played last winter. While
ideally located. this hall lacks room
for spectators and the heavy rental
demanded would severely tax the ath-
letic associations exchequer.
An effort was made to obtain the
Arcade for the series. but faculty ad-
visers were informed that under no
consideration could that spacious floor
be used for basket ball. Catholic
University gymnasium, used by the
high schools hseveral seasons ago. and
the Congress Heights auditorium, well
equipped for the basket game. were
considered. but the board decided
these halls were too far from the
heart of the city for the convenience
of the pupils.
