Double Surprise
Party on Natal DAYS

Mrs. Henry Norris at "a North street
Wednesday evening was the scene OF
a very pleasing double birthday sur

The gathering was in honor of the
birthday anniversary of two most

notice,-the hostess having a pretty
plan-all her own.
A very happy time was passed in
music, singing and the quotation OF
favorite Scripture verses and pray
er.
Among the instrumental numbers
We're ACCORDION solos, by Mrs. Craw-
ford, mother of the hostess, and by
Miss Florence Oliver.

enjoyed, as was "Only Jesus Salts

Just before the close of the festi-

were forced on the verge of a walk
out by their employers disregard for

Prior to the adjustment the manu-

LOOKING AHEAD

When not pressed by matters of
immediate Importance, trade unions
are turning to questions of long-run
Importance, according to the Workers
Educational Bureau of America.
"These local and central unions,
the bureau says, "are setting aside a
part of the meeting for open forum
discussions of such matters as the la
Dor injunction, labor legislation, the
underlying causes of wages, public
school policies, cooperative buying
social insurance and other issues of
vital interest to wage earners and
which can not be adequately dealt
with without much time and atten-
tion being given them.
Meetings of this kind should in no
case interfere with the immediate
business of the union, but where they
can be carried on without such inter-
ference they are of great value. They
increase interest in union meetings
and asst in working out a long run
policy"

SURPRISE FOR CHURCH
MEMBERS

Now it is said if there is a real
investigation of the Anti-SalooI
League, as proposed by Representa-
tive Fred A. Britten, Illinois, it will
open the eyes of the church members
all over the country. Whatever its
influence on prohibition sentiment, it
will throw light on the experiment
of mixing religion and politics.
In its fight for the eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act, the
Anti-Saloon League has claimed to be
the political agent of the Evangelical
Protestant churches. The fight for
prohibition appeared to be great vic
tory for the churches. Now they are
counting the cost. There is some ar
gument over whether the victory was,
after all, either moral or economic.
There also is argument on whether
the churches gained or lost religious
influence by this adventure in politics
The first light thrown on tactics of
some Anti-Saloon League leaders and
lobbyists, was the exposure and con-
viction of William H. Anderson, state
