Reviews Success
World Program
of Methodist Church

Pawtucket, r. l., Mar. S0."Ihe
success OF the world program OF
Methodists was reviewed by Bishop
Charles Bayard Mitchell Of st. Paul,
MINI. in an address before the South
e}n New England conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, here to-
night.
Three years have gone by" he
said land now let us see what has
happened. For the first time in the
history of the se-called Minor
Boards all the appointments to
those boards have been met in full.
'In the last hard financial year
there was received and disbursed by
the board of foreign missions, the
board Of home missions, the Wom-
ems Foreign Missionary Society and
the Women's Home Missionary So
ciety, total of s19,3S7,356. Nothing
like it has ever been known in the
history of the Christian church"
Referring to the fact that only -
cents on the dollar had thus far been
collected on Centenary Pledges, the
bishop said:
"The bankers tell us that our peo-
pie are paying their pledges better
than people are paying their notes in
the bank"
eve must go forward because the
need was never so great. Crime was
never more rampant. home life was
never SO imperilled. youth in their
teens were never characterized by a
lower morale, the great masses in our
oft ,aI
Less than four hundred thousand
church members are in Chicago in
the population of three million, and
in a million population in Detroit
seven hundred thousand have no
church connection.
There can be no doubt az to the
success of our forward program"
Bishop Mitchell continued. 1--WE have
in our youth unmeasured resources.
Never were so many Of them in
church, Sunday school, Epworth
League; never were 80 many in col
lege: never were SO many young men
crowding out Theological Seminaries;
never were so many Offering them
selves for life service; and 1t has been
many years since SO many we're
knocking at the doors Of our confer
ences. We have great resources in
our laylnembership. We have great
resources in our property. The truth
is, We have more money invested In
our various church. educational, and
philanthropic institutions than any
ether branch of the Christian church
on this western continent"
Light wines and beer will never be
permitted under the eighteenth
amendment, Rev. c. Claypool, secre-
tary of the Rhode Island Anti Saloon
League, declared today, addressing a
meeting of the Anti-Saloon League of
the conference.
The United States supreme court
has handed down a decision relative
to the strength of beverages but the
public has failed to read the decision
and consequently does not under
stand the relation of the supreme
court to congress in this important
matter" Mr.. Claypool said. This
country today needs congressman

in order to perfect the prohibition

Tomorrow morning Rev. j. IT. New

church in that area.

new CAMP OUTFITS
PREVENT FIRES

As this season promises to be the
biggest camping season ON record, the
forest service is taking every possible
precaution to prevent forest fires which
are so common during tourist season.
They are regulating camps so that every
camper must clean up before he leaves
for new quarters. Debris and rubbish
of all kinds must be cleared away. For
est service men are there to see that
this work is properly done. All those
who intend to camp out this summer
are especially asked to take greater
precaution than ever to prevent the
fires which so quickly raze the fast
diminishing forests.
.'Put out your fires, ''Look out
for hot ashes from your cigars and Gig
arets," Help prevent fires" such is
the appeal from the forest reserve.
Many new devices are now on the'mar-
ket that would help this cause and add
greater convenience to the camper as
well. Instead of the old fashioned camp
fire built between two bricks or two
logs to send sparks scattering at every
little gust of wind, the camping de-
partment of the Western Auto Supply
CO. offers many improvements in the
way of modern folding stoves of either
the gas or wood burning type. With one

Officials of the Automobile Club of
Southern California today issue warn
ing that motorists will be arrested this
summer in practically every county for
slight infringements of the law, as these
small evasions often cause serious ac-
cidents.
Here is what the auto owner must
watch out for, according to the auto
club s legal department.:
Motorists must keep to the right hand
side of the road or curb when driving
or they will be liable to arrest for
blocking the highway
If only one headlight is burning you
can be arrested.
Watch your tail light. If it is not
burning you will be arrested this sum-
mer sure.
Do not begin to turn to the left until
you have passed the center of the
highway or street intersection.
Do not fail to give tile proper hand
signal when you slow down or stop.

rested at every opportunity.

tains 126 Illustrations of approved head

and instructions for care.
Among other things, the booklet calls
attention to the dangers of driving at
night with insufficient, or too power
full lights. Headlights are now consid-
cred as important as any part of the
car, the safety of the occupants of 4
car at night, depending almost entire
ly upon good lighting. This fact has
been realized for a long time by auto

been established recently IN many parts
of California to eliminate the unlawful

TIRES TO

Imperial valley will receive consider
able free publicity shortly through

papers in most of the larger cities of
the West will run an advertisement
in which the valley will be prominent
lv featured both in illustration and
text, as part of the Spreckels "Sav-
age'' Tire Co.'S advertising campaign
for this year.
Royal B. Lee, advertising manager of
this pioneer tire factory of the West
in announcing his company's advertis-
ing plans for the year, indicates that
certain localities where Savage pro
ducts arc extensively distributed will
come in for their share of constructive
publicity. The Savage factory, which
is Situated in San Diego, has Il depot in
the valley and many distributors and
dealers. In view of the popularity of
it's products in this section, the Savage
company has naturally included I'M
perial valley in its series of illustrat-
ed messages to the motoring public
which will show how Savage tires are
performing in various parts of the
country.
Some 100000 newspaper readers
will be given an opportunity to see the

EXPERT ADVISES ON
STORAGE BATTERY

The fact that the entire electrical
equipment on an automobile may not
be made in one factory does not mean
that manufacturers of the various parts
have not cooperated, ito the end that
the whole functions most efficiently as
a unit. Quite to the contrary, makers
of the generator, starting motor, dash
equipment and storage battery on a
single car, are required to work togeth-
er for the most satisfactory operation
of the car itself. Their parts must CO.
ordinate properly.
This point suggests another, that
substitution of other than the original
manufacturers parts in the repair OF
anv of these units is almost certain to
| impair it's efficiency That is partic-
| ularly true in the ease of the stor-
age battery, where it seems to be a
common practice for some battery re
pair men to "'rebuild an old battery
with Il few new parts, and sell it again
as "repaired standard make, with
lot of life left in it - at price way
out of reason for the service it will
render.
"lSuch imposition by unscrupulous
battery men, saps II. S. Gardner, sales
manager of the Willard Storage Bat
terry Co., Cleveland, is the thing that
all manufacturers of standard storage
batteries are anxious to bring to the
attention of car drivers. There would
be no occasion for the original owner
of such battery to dispose of it, ii
it could have been economically repair

ANCIENT ANGLER
GETS BIGGEST FISH

AVALON, Calf, June 17.-More
than 40 tuna, five of them weighing
more than 100 pounds each, have been
brought to gaff in the 1922 tourna-
ment of the Catalina Tuna club.
L. G. Murphy of Converse, Ind, re-
corded the largest fish of the season,
a beautiful specimen weighing 1lS1.
pounds Mr.. Murphy fought his an
tagonist for 40 minutes before Capt.
Tad Gray could gaff it. Murphy s rec
ord catch is remarkable in that the
angler is more than 80 years of age.
For Is years he has been Il regular
visitor to Avalon, and he holds many
records and prizes awarded by the
Tuna club.
Angler G. w. Cunningham of Kansas
City recorded catch of ia pounds,
and Angler o. c. Sykes of New Or
leans got fish weighing 10 pounds.
For his Is days fishing so far this
season, A. w. Hooper of Boston has
brought to gaff II tuna, the largest
weighing 1929 pounds and the small
est SO pounds.
Owen Moore, movie star, fishing near
Seal Rocks, landed two tuna, IS and
971a pounds respectively, and Mrs.
Moore landed a yellowtail weighing
201a pounds.
A 80 minute fight on light tackle
made Henry w. Silk of Chicago victor
ious over a 81 pound yellowtail, but
owing to the fact that the boatman
held the rod at the time the fish grab
bed the bait, the yellowtail was dis
qualified in the Tuna club tournament.
Angler Silk s yellowtail is the largest
that has been caught in these waters
for two years.
Keith Spalding, president of the
Tuna club, has presented a magnifi
cent trophy for the largest broadbil
swordfish to be taken in the 1922
tournament by Tuna club member.
The trophy is beautiful silver loving
cup, mounted on three dolphins which
form the supports; on the side of the
cup is Il gold and white enamel cluo
