Brother Sloane, chairman of the entertainment committee, had a sur prise in the form of an old time school days entertainment and it brought back the days of youth to us all. Julia Powers acted as teacher and the scholars spoke the pieces they spoke in years gone by, but they were so many of them that we cannot mention them all, but we must mention that it was most highly en- joyed by all. The ladies brought lunch baskets and after school all had lunch and then a dance.

essentials for a successful camping trip. It is well to remember that although the days in Arizona are warm, the nights are for the most part very. cool, so plenty of bedding should be taken. It is an easy mat ter to put up a tent and a com fortable portable bed. You will feel better in the morning for having spent a few minutes preparation for an eight hours sleep. Cooking is another important feature in camp ing trips. Portable stoves give bet ter cooking facilities and collapsable tables make the serving more san itary as well as convenient. For the motorist who takes only single day trips, luncheon kits are an essential. These are only a few of the most needed articles for camping trips.

 Howard has just added a new bat tery station to his plant and states that he is personally ipstructing his customers in the care of batteries and ignition apparatus.

 This clever attachment is featured by steel frame covered with leather material, and does not require tools. bolts or nuts to properly attach it. The visor is adjustable to any posi- tion and can be operated from the seat.
 Since securing the distribution for this attainment, Bennett has equipped the cars of J. M. Aitken. Dr. G. E. Goodrich. Gordon Tweed, Ben Stan ton, Shirley Christy, Al Niault and several other prominent local motor ists.

Vesfa Fe1uces
 Battery Prices

Vesta battery prices have been re- duced materially, says MT. Morrell, manager of the local Vesta Service station.
 While it is true that the percent age of reduction is less than that advertised by other companies, says MT. Morrell, the fact that the new net prices are no higher than on other makes clearly proves that Vesta prices were not previously inflated.
 The manufacture of batteries is a time process, requiring the purchase of material months in advance of the date they are turned out as finished products. The reduction in prices, therefore, represents a sacrifice on the part of the whole Vesta organi- zation for it comprehends the man. ufacture of batteries at the present low cost of material, despite the fact that the material entering into the manufacture of these batteries was purchased many months ago at much higher prices.

LA GUARDIA SAYS HAYS
PROMISED NOMINATION
Wants Posfn1dster-GeneraI to
Make Good

President F. Fl. La Guardia Of the
Board OF Aldermen. speaking at the Ac-
tive Republican Club, $40 Eighth ave-
nue., last night, made the assertion that
in conference with Will II. Hays, now
Postmaster-General, then Chairman OF
the Republican National Committee. and
Senator William NJ Calder two years
ago he had been told he could have the
nomination for the Mayoralty in 1921
If he was elected President of the Board
Of Aldermen that year. He demanded
that they keep their promise made at
that time.
Judge Reuben l.. Haskell drew Pres
ident La Guardia into an argument over
their respective activities against prohi-
bition when they met at this clubhouse
William NJ. Bennett had spoken his little
piece about being robbed of the nomina-
tion in 1917 and got away before the
others arrived
Judge Haskell, aTter saying the prohi-
bition fanatics had made lawbreakers
out of hundreds Of thousands of former
law abiding men and women, turned to
La Guardia, seated near by, and asked
why he had not come out against pro-
hibition when he was running for the
Presidency Of the Board of Aldermen
two years ago.
Later La Guardia countered with
the declaration that he had been
more active against the prohibition
amendment in Congress than had Has
kel when both had been members of
Congress-
Mr.. Curran made no campaign
speeches last night.

CURRAN FOR LEGAL
DRY ENFORCEMENT
But Invasion of Homes With
out Warrant Must End,
He Asserts.

Borough President Henry II. Curran
gard to the enforcement OF the prohi-
bition law. In reply to a question from
the League of Women Voters the Re-
publican Coalition candidate for the
Mayoraltv nomination said:
When / am Mayor / shall enforce
this law (the Mullen-Gage act) the
same as any other law. 1t is the duty
OF the Mayor to enforce the law, as
his oath OF office carries that pledge.
Il had been told that 1t would be bad
politics to answer your questions.
Whether it would be bad politics or not
want to say this: That / shall not
go beyond the law nor shall / enforce
one by violating another"
After quoting the Fourth Amendment
to the Federal Constitution guarantee
ing persons and their homes against
Illegal search and seizure Curran con-
tinued:
That law comes from the earliest
time and from our oldest traditions. and
il Is a part OF our Constitution. Yet
under the present city administration
and without statutory auotherity our
homes have been invaded and people
have been stopped on the highways and
subjected to a search of their persons
and effects. even to the extent of the
arrest Of a doctor for carrying in his
professional bag a phial of alcoholic
liquor along with his other medicines.
The business of making the Eighteenth
Amendment override the Bill of Rights
hos m he Sfn A ~
is his castle. and that holds for the
American home as well as any other.
The prohibition law itself is not an
issue in the city campaign
Judge Reuben l.. Haskell OF Brooklyn.
the wet candidate for the Mayoralty
nomination, opined that Mr.. Curran was
rather late in making his position known.
The people of this city would like to
know how Mr.. Curran stands on the
whole subject of prohibition" declared
the Judge. IF it takes as long for him
to declare generally on prohibition as it
has to obtain his views on police vio-
lence and violation of constitutional
rights we may expect to be enlightened
by next Christmas or later.
while the Mayor of New York city
cannot of himself repeal existing prohi-
bition laws he will have a powerful in
fuence in that direction. Furthermore.
an overwhelming majority in the pri-
mary and on election day for my can
didacy will administer such rebuke to
dry United States Senators, Representa-
tives and members of State legislatures
that they will be compelled to respond
to public sentiment and repeal the OBJ
noxious prohibition laws. Besides, the
confiagration the result of my cleo
ton will extend to State and nation and
bring favorable results for the restora-
tion Of personal liberty and put an end
to the existing blue law crusade"
President Curran will make four or
five campaign speeches to-day. At 80
in the afternoon he will talk to the
Queens county Republican executive
committee. In the evening he will talk
at the Twelfth Assembly District Re-
publican Club. 400 Ninth street, Brook
lyn, and the Central Republican Club,
% West 124th street Manhattan.
