SAVE MONEY
BY starting now you can have
in a very short time a savings
account Of which you can be
justly proud.
Because there is nothing that
gives a greater feeling Of finan-

the bank.
And 1t isn't so much the large

the systematic saving that de-
velops a sizeable account.
Let your decision be to start
now-you win reap the reward

GiLA NORMAL WINS
FROM Stafford ~

BY score of % to 16 the ella
Normal boys defeated the Stafford Hi
boys in hard-fought practice game

Briers Hall Friday night. The house

the students from both schools were

and school yells.
An exciting first half ended with a
score of IL to in elias favor, but
during the first part of the last half
of the game, the Stafford boys did
some good playing and brought the
score to a tie. Gila, however, again
took the lead and the game ended
with a victory for Gila Normal.
Both teams played a good game.
but the Stafford boys were handicapped
by the height and weight of the ella
team. The team work OF the ella
boys, however, was exceptionally good
due to their experience and practice
OF last year, the team being composed
this year of the same members it con.
tanned last, while the Stafford BOYS had
only two of their old members on the
team. The Stafford forwards and
guards played remarkably well
but the star play of the game was
made when Bob Graham shot the ball
into the basket from the center OF the
| court.
Bennett Yeti made fair and i'm

Stafford and shumway for GHa; Far

He could see nothing, hear nothing

the edge Of this opening cautiously,
revealing a cellar-way leading down
into the basement The opening was
black, silent, mysterious, yet 1t was
a hiding place. If he could manage to
roll down those steps into those
depths below, he might hide there un-

the first effort at pursuit had been
abandoned Then there might he a
chance for escape.

corner where he might escape OBJ

was, this offered the one and only
chance. He could not argue and de-

He rolled over, and lowered himself
down into the opening, locating the
half-dozen broken and rotted steps
with his feet. He made no attempt to
stand, but simply slid down. finding a
partially closed door at the bottom,
the passage-way blocked by a litter,
the exact nature of which could not
be determined in the darkness. With
some difficulty. and more than ever
conscious Of his weakness, and the
pain Of bruises, he managed to crawl

Cites Seniority Order to ShorO
the Real Issue

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The reported
declaration of L. +. Rorel. president
of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad
that the railroads would not abandon
their stand on the seniority issue was
cited by Samuel Gompera president of
the American Federation of Labor, in
a statement issued tonight as further
proof "of the declarations we have made
as to the real issues involved In the
railroad strike"
Most railroad executives are anxi-
Gus to settle the strike by negotiation
with the workers." Mr.. Gompers said
They are restrained by few. Western
and mid Western lines are practically
helpless before the dominating presence
of a small group of Eastern executives.
Transportation Is secondary in I'm

operations are of paramount impor-
tance. That is the key to the present
