Special Signal
instruction at
HeadQtrs. Co. Drill

The second special signal instruc-
tor to come to this city within the
past two months for the purpose Of
giving instruction to the members of
the Headquarters Company seth In
fantry Brigade, will be present this
evening at the regular drill.
Sergeant Don c. Warwick, signal
instructor for the 43rd Division of
which this company Is a unit, is the
man who will come according to ad-
vice recently received fpom headquar-
tiers. His work will no doubt'be very
interesting. Major Huston, signal
officer of the 43rd division was pres
ent recently and he sketched for the
boys the use to which their know
ledge would be put in the field in a
manner that brought home quite for
chilly the great importance Of this
kind of work.
This type of work calls for special
lists in several branches and is in
tensely interesting, dealing as it does
with buzzers, telephones, wireless,
blinkers, and many form of communi-
cation. Two men were signed up at
the last drill, and two others reen-
listed, this showing that the men
like the work and the company,
enough to sign up again when their
enlistment period runs out. There is
a chance still for some good energetic
young men, who desire to learn some
thing of communication work as well
as in other lines.

on top of the pile at the conclusion of
another season, as did Captain Sid Per-
kins of the Y. NJ. c. A. quintet and the
representatives Of the several other
teams which were under the Clerks
when the final tabulation of standings
was figured.
Tribute to Late Prank AendalI
Mr.. Flynt voiced the sentiment Of
the entire gathering when he paid a
glowing tribute to the late Frank Men
dali. who was a member of the team
which took the first honors this year
and who had been active in the inter-
ests of the city league since its inau-
guration. Every member of the team
knew Mr.. MendalPs wonderful spirit
of cheerfulness and his passion for fair
play and good craftsmanship. The re-
greet that he could not have been pres
emit at the banquet last evening was the
only shadow across the hearts or the
men present.
General Secretary Tom Smith OF the
"Y'' was called upon and responded
with his usual splendid message. The
members of the city bowling league all
know that it is due to Mr.. Smiths keen
interest and ready cooperation that the
bowling season has been conducted so
successfully.
Hot Battle For Team Honors
In the match between the Kenne-
bee Journal FIVE and the Miscellan-
neous outfit, to settle the high team
total deadlock =, the newsmen got
away to a fine start in the first string
and the addition showed them in the
lead by a q pin margin. The *. j.
pin topplers went into a bad slump
in the second string however and
were buried under by % pins for
the string, which made them seven
pins down on the total for the first
two stanzas.
The K. j. speed boys had all had
a chance to examine the beautiful
gold fob prizes and they all had
watches that they knew should be
attached to the ends of these fobs
so they Strengthened themselves out
and went into the final canto with
the win or bust" light in their eyes,
and win they did. Their margin
over the Jonesmen was 80 pins in
this string, giving them the three
string total with % pins to spare.
Folsom, the only man on the Mis-
cellaneous quintet to hit the CEN
tury figure, was tied for high single
for the evening with Charles Flynt
Of the K. j. outfit, each getting 102.
Captain Harris consistent work won
him the high three string honors
with a neat 292. The summary.

Plea for Japs and
Negroes at Methodist
Meet in Springfield

Springfield. Mass, May 6.-Two
races were remembered at the
twenty-ninth quadrennial general
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church at its session here today
the Japanese and the negro. For
the first, a petition to President
Coolidge to secure a change in the
immigration law recently passed by
congress was put forward. For the
second, a negro delegate asked the
assignment of Bishops in the north
ern United States for the negro eN-
odus from the southland, with gen.
eral superintendents serving from
among the migrants. The first reso-
luton was ordered printed for con-
sideration. The second was referred
to a committee.
"More than a half million negroes
have abandoned their pIaces of abode

ton, introduced by Lorenzo H. King
of Atlanta, G., read in part. Their

would be felt for generations to
come 1t asked that the president
use his official position to prevent as
far as possible\the enactment of the
legislation.
Rev. George II. McClung of the
Central Illinois delegation proposed
resolution for special means to COM
bat what he called propaganda to
weaken the influence of evangelical
Christianity. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on the state
of the church.
"There are many insidious irflu-
cnces at work" the resolution de-
clared. some with commercial mo-
tive and others with ecclesiastical
pre- judices, which seek to undermine
and destroy the influence of Protes-
tant Christianity our church
has never adopted specific plans to
counteract this propaganda, and we
have no adequate literature or sys-
tenn of social lectures to counteract
these influences"
A delegate from the Episcopal
Church, south. was welcomed at the
evening session in accordance with
custom established in 1874. This was
the Rev. w. A. Shelton. d. D.. pro-
fessor Of Emory University. Atlanta.

New Sidewalk on
East Side Rines Hill
To Be Completed

A crew of workmen were engaged
Tuesday in preporing the surface of
the new sidewalk on the east side
of Rines hill for the final permanent
hard walk. The concrete retaining
walls and the abutment at the top
of the hill as well as the footbridge
over the railroad tracks were COM
pleted last fall, and the sidewalk has
been found to be most appreciable
improvement by pedestrians. When
the work was discontinued late in
the autumn, the Sidewalk was left
with gravel surface, and as con-
siderable filling had been necessary
on several sections it was believed
expedient to permit it's use as it was,
to help settle this fill before laying
the granolithic section.
With the completion Of present
plans, fine new concrete walk with
an iron pipe guard rail will make
this piece of extensive construction
ono of beauty as well as utility.
