 MT. Dunbar Ogden, Jr., who has been preaching to summer dweliers on the beach-and between times teachins the young people how to play to the glory of God-has been on the plat form in. two delightful addresses. The one on Sunday morning taking the form of a sermon on '"The Hand of God, while the first address bore the unique title of "The Can Opener"
 Miss Grace Harris, secretary of young peoples activities in Govern ment Street. church, Mobile, has been musical director ably supported by few who are gifted in song and all who are minded to make joyful noise to. the Lord.
 The pageant of Saturday night, writ ten by Mrs. Frank M. Jones of bir- mingham, chairman of the school of missions. representing the women's aux Hilary in its varied interests, gathered up the studies of the week in a speetae- lar and beautiful way. It has been printed in leaflet form and may be obtained from the St. Louis office or the woman's auxiliary under the cap tion "The Pageant of the Year." We are indebted to Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Doybns of Birmingham, for much of the splendid program as presented, but time would fail were mention made of each one of those who have contributed so richly to this opening session of the Alabama School of Missions.
 While, faculty and students work and worship with real earnestness dur ing class periods they are only grown up children when the bell tells them that school is out for. the afternoon. Soon the waves are full of mermaids and the shouts of glee that reach the shore tell of the relaxation that has come to tired bodies and tense nerves.
 Mrs. Clancy Baker, herself the soul of merriment, has directed the play or recreational activities and has trans formed gray-haired women for the nonce into romping children and has sent them back to study and work with bodies invigorated and minds clarified by innocent laughter. To the recrea- tional features is partly due the fine comradeship that has existed between the faculty and students regardless of age.
 Rev. A. 0. McKinnon of Africa brings the closing message Wednesday evening and the early boat on Thurs day morning bears them back to Mo bile where they are met by an automo- bile committe from the local auxiliaries. A pilgrimage is made directly from the wharf to an ancient cemetery on Church street where rests the dust of Mrs. John B. Warren, wife of the First Presby- terian missionary to Mobile and sister of the sainted Harriett Newell. Her death occurred in 1920, during a sourage of yellow fever whileher hus- band was absent on a missionary jour ney. Flowers will be placed on her grave with simple ceremony. Returning from the quaint old cemetery the women will be served lunch in the Burgett Me morial building of the Government Street Presbyterian church after which the delegates depart for their respective homes inspired by beautiful memories of the first Alabama School of Missions when now passes into history.

Quick Frock To Finish Out
 Season

TyHE summers spell of cheerful vaca-
 tioning will soon be over, yet
 many are they whose wardrobes show the drastic need ofsan extra frock with which to finish out the season. To be sure, to either expend for, or sit down and sew on, anything that can only be worn for so short a while is not much of an inspiration. But there are ways, if only you know how, to obtain that needed frock with very it- tie effort or expense.
 For instance, has not every woman these days various slips that accom- pany their special frocks? Why not requisition one of these to use as a foundation and then choose some soft new material for a simple overdress A gay-figured chiffon, for instance, combining some colors that will make the assembled frock very different look ing from the one which the slip was meant to accompany.
 You might even have an evening frock whose slip could be used few times in such way. A peach-color slip wouldl look well under almost any oth- CT light color, such as apple green or bright blue. These colors might be printed on q white or other colored background Remnants of such printed stuffs are to be found all over, and they do make beautiful frocks.
 One designe offers a simple way of handling some such fabrics, making use of foundation slip. The oyerdress is made on straight lines, with flounce gathered onto the lower portion, round ing up bit at the front, con the line of attachment. A 'kerchief collar forms soft finish at the neck and drops over the tops of the arms. With an opening 5 or 6 inches wide down the front, the overdress is sewn to the foundation down the edges. Either a cording or picots edge finishing tue sides will make the sewing by basting stitches entirely satisfactory.

KINGS CARS IS YEARS OLD
George Of England Replaces Machine
 In Use Since 1911

OOVt6o VA EuSiaHu hopIdceS MdCnlNeS
 In Use Since 1911
 The king of England, after getting along for thirteen years with out-of- date cars, has placed an order for five new luxurious motor cars.
 Each will be of fifty-seven horse- power, upholstered in truly regal man. ner in royal crimson and blue-black, with speedometers, clocks and other fittings in real silver.
 Four of these machines are being made for public and state occasions and will have the royal coat-of-arms em- blazoned on the doors and back panels, as well as windows.
 In having tbis new fleet of cars the king is not being as extravagant as 1t might seem, as he has been using his present iimousines continuously since 1911, and although they have. of course, been kept in perfect condition, they are not exactly up-to-date.
 The kings cars have to stand up un- der hard wear, since they are in con- stant use. as when neither King George nor Queen Mary actually is using them there are always some visitors being taken to and from Buckingham palace. -The Detroit News.

We Women
Labor Da,

Labor Day
 THIS is labor Day, originally desig-
 mated as mans holiday or sur
 cease from his daily labor. On this day men rest and employers are made conscious of the obligations be- tween themselves and their employees. This day, indeed, is almost a truce be- tween capital and labor. As such it aims to create an atmosphere of peace and contentment and understanding.
 But Labor Day is no longer exclu- sively the day of men. Women are abroad in the field of almost every oc- cupation. This is holiday of women, too, though it is not exactly and com pletely recognized as such. Why this is so do not know. It seems to me that the creed of peace and contentment and understanding should join not mere ly capital and labor, but also men and women.
 We are all familiar with ancient paintings showing women hard work in the fields. These pictures are en- acted in the flesh by living women throughout the world every day, and similar pictures are enacted in offices, in banks, in factories, on railroads, on ships and on the stage.
 The world in which woman works and serves has grown larger. We pro- duce but are not compensated with the yield of our labor. This has always been so. We have, perhaps, more req son to quarrel with men on this score than those men who are economically oppressed have to quarrel with capital. We are the victims of circumstances punished through the ages because of the accident of our sex.
 On this day I make a suggestion {: Why not a woman as Secretary of La- bor in the cabinet of the next president of the United States? Why not some thing of the same nature in Canada {? There are women who understand labor and the relations between employer and employe and economics as; well as men and in addition to this they are wo- men. It seems to me that the fact they are women would be as.decided advan- tage rather than liability. Every thing else being equal, they could in- troduce q note of humanness which would make for greater peace and a greater contentment and a greater un- derstanding.
 Women do not do things ruthlessly, with no regard for the feelings of oth- CTS. This, more than anything else, l think, has retarded the coming of that Labor Day which will celebrate the millennium as a holiday nof merely of capital and labor and employer and em- ploye, but of all men and of all women in business and in private life.

HANDKERCHIEF LINEN FROCKs

Materials may come and go. but hand kerchief linen continues, ts hold its own in the affections of women, for there is nothing that quite takes the place of it's crisp daintiness. The most de lightful frocks for little girls are made of handkerchief linen in pastel shades. These dresses have small white linen collars edged with real valencinnes and a band of the white forms hem and runs from hem to neckline on one side of the dress. The colored linen and the white bands are joined together with entre deux.

"It is the misfortune of the very rich that they cannot save their children from what the movies call the blight of gold That is the heart-breaking price that the man who makes big fortune pays for his success, as you will see if you observe how millionaires' sons and daughters nearly always turn out.

You will hear parents say, We don't want our children to go through the struggle we did.' Yet that very struggle developed the strength of character that enabled them to climb to the top of the lad der, and the lack of any necessity to struggle, and thereby to develop the muscles of their souls, will make their children poor, weak, flabby parasites who will collapse just as soon as the prop of fathers checkbook is removed.
 "So I say again." said the self made man, "that I pity the man who doesn't have to make his own way in the world. He misses sit ting in at the big game, and pa- rents who deprive their children of this privilege and pleasure do them great wrong"

But people in more moderate cir
 cumstances could avoid this terrible catastrophe if they would, and that is why it is so pitiful to see fathers and mothers working their fingers to the bone and denying themselves every luxury and comfort to try to pile up a fortune to leave to their children-a fortune that will not only deprive them of the greatest fun in life, but that nine times out of ten will ruin them.
 ''Why do they wish to deprive their children of the pleasures they had Why do they cut their children off from the experiences that taught them endurance and patience and grit and self-control. and that made them the kind of men and women they arei Nobody knows, but they do.

ENTER ST. JOHNS RACES

Winslow will have two entries in
the 5O-mile race at st. Johns today.
Johnny Biava is to drive the
Hudson car which won the Decora-
tion day race here and Harper will be
there with the Dodge car that ran
we'll on the Decoration day schedule
but which broke down when two
thirds of the race had been run when
he was a lap in the lead. The drivers
of the local cars left here Wednesday
for st. Johns to get ready for the
meet. Thompson will ride with Har-
per on his 5O-mile grind Harper
stated that his Dodge had been given
new frame and that he believed the
car would stand up under any kind
of a grind over the track at ST. Johns,
which is one and seven-eighths miles
to the lap. 1t was thought the track
record there would be beaten this
year Cars from Holbrook, Gallup
and Phoenix about ten in all, were
expected to enter. Three cars from
Phoenix were due to pass this way

TONY COSTELLO WILL
AGAIN FACE RED FITz

Fight Promoter Eddie West says
that Soldier" Tony Costello did not
get his neck broken in his recent brief
bout with Red Fitzsimons, instead he's
got his neck bowed for a return at
the hard-hitting Red. He's also got
his back bowed, and even his ell bow
ed, in fact, he's all bowed up for an
other chance to get into the ring with
the fiery-headed Fitz.
West has provided the opportunity
and the affray will be pulled off in
Gallup on the evening of July 10 or
il, the exact date not yet being set
tied.
That the fight promises to be good
is provided by the fact that the terms
are winner take ALL The loser will
not even have expenses provided. Nat
urally Fitzsimmons is confident that
he will get the entire purse, and Cos
tillo, who has been putting in some
hard licks since his Waterlouie here,
is glad of the terms, because he, too
thinks the dinero will be his with
out partition to spend as he chooses
A number of fight fans will make
the trip to Gallup to witness the out
come.

st. Claire has been here for several
weeks and in his training stunts has
shown that he has plenty of class.
Nothing here has made it necessary
for him to extend himself, but it is
said that Young Anderson will make
him do some real work Undoubtedly
there will be plenty of fight fans
present to see the bout.
Two local boys will don the big
mitts and hurl them at each other

GAME ASSOCIATION
MET FRIDAY NIGHT

A meeting Of the Winslow Game
Protective association was held at the
city hall last Friday evening, at which
T. E. Mccullough, Flagstaff, president
of the state association, was the prin-
cipal speaker. J. S. Roth, president
of the local association, was out of
the city.
The initiative petition being circu-
lated over the state for the repeal of
the present game laws, that an en-
tirely new code may be formulated,
was discussed, but doubts were ex-
pressed as to the petition having a
sufficient number of gigners. The pc
tition must have been filed not later
than yesterday, to appear on the bal
lot this year. 1t was decided that the
petitions remain in circulation until
the required number of signers is
secured, and be presented at the first
opportunity after the forthcoming
election.
Other matters of concern to sports
men were discussed at the meeting.
r. P. AHuddleStOn was elected vice
president of the association and it was
decided that of local dues collected
fifty per cert should be made avail
able for the state association in it's
efforts looking to a greater protection
of game in Arizona, and the extension
of game warden activities.
Numerous instances OF game law
violations were mentioned, some par
ticularly flagrant, where out-of-state
hunters and fishermen had been
known to be the greatest violators,
but in which, owing to the absence of
wardens or deputy warGens, no pros
ecutions had been attempted

day in Holbrook in the interests Of
