Y. M. C. A. NOTES

One of the most enthusiastic and
encouraging meetings seen for a long
while was that held by the Hi-Y Boys
on Friday evening, the 9th. The club,
having long since outgrown the limited
quarters on Welton street, now meets
in the gymnasium of the Y. w. c. A.
Twenty-Five boys We're in the meeting
the largest number in the history of
the Hi-Y. The address of the evening
was given by Mrs. Elliston, who told
the boys a wonderful story about the
great n. a. A. c. p. convention in Kan
sas City.
The Employed Boys Brotherhood
did not do so well in their meeting. 1t
is evident that great deal OF nard,
earnest work must be done to get that
group started.
The Boy Leaders training group got
started off last week in fairly good
fashion. The outlook for the class is
very good, and it is likely that the full
quota will be obtained. The group
meets on Thursday evening.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening of the fall meetings tomorrow
Sunday afternoon at Shorter Church.
1t is our hope that the weather may
be good and a large number will be
present. Many of the pastors have
also promised to be on hand. The ar
chitects will be on hand with the plans
for the new building, showing also the
beautiful outside elevation of the
building. All our people who are in
terested in the new building should be
present to see the plans and to heal
the latest information about the work
The meeting will begin promptly at :
o'clock and is not expected to last be
yond 3 o'clock. All men are invited t,
be present.
The honor roll for the week is as fol
lows: Calvin H. Clark Mr.. and Mrs
w. b. Holman; Leslie III. Lightner: G

forty feet south of the tunnel entrance
when an explosion blew away part of
the roof of the tunnel and caused it 20
cave in on the train.
Two men participated in the at
tempted robbery, according to advices
received here. AS the engine crew
brought the train to halt, these two
advanced to the locomotive and shot
| the engineer, fireman and Johnson
who was said to have been riding with
them, although he was not on duty.
Bates and Seng are believed to have
died instantly from bullet wounds in
the head. Johnson was shot in the
chest and died within Il short time.
The bandits then ran to the mail car
and blew open the door with Il charge
of dynamite, which ripped a gaping
| hole in the side of the conveyance, set
ting fire to it. This explosion is be-
lieved to have caused the death OF
Mail Clerk Edwards, the only occu-
pant.
No loot was obtained by the bandits,
according to officials of the railway
mail service here.
All the mail fas burned.
About twenty passengers were re-
ported Injured by flying glass from

after the affair had been reported
here all available officers were rush
ing to the scene.

nurses also were dispatched as quick
ly as possible.
Southern Pacific officials rushed to
the scene and an offer of $500 re-
ward for information directly leading

of one of the most carefully laid plots
in the history of Western railrouding.

The Value of Shadows.

Reflections and shadows form an I'M
portant aid to decoration. The shadow
of a spray of roses or group of tall
grasses against light wall or table
is very beautiful. So is the reflection
of a well-planned group of furniture or
pottery in mirror. A gray silhouette
of vine is sometimes painted on the
window shade of a sun room to give
the effect of shadow.

A HOUSEWIFE SHOULD
KNOW HER LAUNDRY

The laundry equipment OF the
home, large or small, Is to be taken
seriously.
Getting ready the weeks wash and
routing it to the laundry where the
motor-driven washing machine stands
ready to make soiled linen clean
again at the lowest COSTS one OF
the most important routine matters
of he household.
Housewives often tell how very es-
sential it is to know how to cook,
whether one has a maid or not. Cook
cry is the business Of every home
maker, be she rich or poor. In spite
Of this vast deal Of talk as to the
housewives knowing how the kitchen
should be arranged and the work In It
done very little has been said about
the need Of her knowing the ms and
outs Of the home laundry and its OPP
Grafton. Yet, directing of the weeks
IL done at home, and the ar
rangement of laundry facilities In just
as important as the affairs Of the
Times are rapidly changing how
ever. Today home laundry work ana
It's efficient electrical operation is
Just as much a part Of any course In
domestic science as cooking or dress
designing.
