might get his boat ready and any

would be needed.
The supervisors also sent three 9TH

City Gives Colleges
Free Water for Use
In Swimming Tank

Following a confirmation by the
Santa Fe railroad that the city might
give free water for the filling of the
swimming tank at Flagstaff Teachers
college plans are being made to allow
school children and possibly adults use
of the tank at specified times.
City council was asked some time
ago for free water for the tank due to
the fact that water was running to
waste with both reservoirs full. The
council could see no reason for not
granting the request of the college,
but it was thought advisable to secure
the consent of the Santa Fe railroad
which has a water contract with the
city. The railroad readily gave con-
sent to the use of 100000 gallons a
week for the tank.
During April the Santa Fe pur-
chased 100000 gallons of water from
the city. Approximately 100000 gal
Ions are hauled away daily for use at
Grand Canyon.

ALL CREEDS MEET
IN CHICAGO Church
CIergymen of All Sects
Preach in Wanderers
Edifice.

CHICAGO, July 2.-When Clifford
w. Barnes, lately out of Yale, min
lister, former college president, social
worker and man of independent
means, returned to Chicago 20 years
ago there was only one church within
the loop district.
This was a little Methodist chapel at
Clark and Washington streets, where
the great tower of the Methodist Tenn
pie now stands.
Barnes wished to establish a church
for the wanderer, open to every one
and any one. The sermons of this
new church, it's founder planned,
would be preached by Jew, Catholic
and Protestant.
The Sunday Evening Club. there
fore, was born two decades ago. 1t
held it's first meeting in Orchestra
Hall, on Michigan avenue, facing the
lake, with the amusement district and
the large hotels in the background.
Since that time every Sunday night
from October to June the Sunday Eve
ming Club has met in Orchestra Hall.
It is not uncommon for 5000 persons
to attend the services. Once a large
crowd smashed the doors in it's eager.
ness to get in.
Each week a different speaker of
note, usually a clergyman, delivers the
sermon. The Archbishop Of York,
William Howard Taft, Henry Van
Dyke and Charles Evans Hughes have
talked from the platform. The Lord
Bishop Of London was impressed with
the heterogeneous audience.
The English Speaking Union be-
lieves few organizations have done as
much to promote good will among
English-speaking peoples Of the world
as the Sunday Evening Club. Barnes
has just sailed for England to arrange
for additional speakers for the club.
Chicago business men, including
John G. Shedd, Franklin MacVeagh,
David Forgan, were among its first
sponsors.
The clubs has only two persons on
its pay roll, an executive secretary
and a bookkeeper.
Since 1922 the club programs have
been radiocast, and Mrs. C. E. Ran.
dali, secretary, says concentrations
have come from every State in the
Union. A letter came from a sick
man in Labrador, and wireless mes.
sage from group Of sailors on hos.
pital ship in the Caribbean.
Rev. Mr.. Barnes, ordained in the
Presbyterian Church, came here first
in 1892. He had the idea OF a non.
sectarian church while doing Y. M.
c.. A. work at Yale. After several
years in the ministry he became presi-f
dent Of a down State college, but re-
turned here in 1927.

Modern Civilization Is Sitting
Gypsiss Of Europe, Festival Shows

posedly in cypress wood caskets,
which are opened once every 100
years. Every year on May "a the
caskets are lowered from the high
tower where they repose into the
midst of a crowd of pilgrims, who hold
up sick children that the box may
touch them and bring about a
miraculous healing.
Black Sarah is an unofficial saint.
The church has never recognized her
existence or encouraged the rites of
the gypsies over her bones in the holy
crypt. The box containing her sup
posed remains has been opened only
twice, once was when the gypsies
transferred the bones from the
crumbling casket to new one which
they themselves had made. and the
other when the box was broken into
and bone borrowed-and mysterious
ly returned-by a gypsy who sup
posedly took it to bring about some
cure.
The story Is always tod to tourists
who flock to the gypsy festival that
on the night of May 25 the ancient
cult of Mithra, worshipers of fire
and water, has its strange rites in
the crypt Of the twelfth century
church.
