Echoes of San Juan Hill
 At South Church Service

The film The Rough Riders to Ec shown Sunday evening at South Congregational church is essentially q Roosevelt film. It tells the story of the organization and activities of the regiment which was recruited under the leadership of General Leonard Wood and Theodore Roose- welt. This film is the story of open- ing of the Spanish war and many incidents connected with it. It shows also the affection and confidence in which Roosevelt was held by his regiment, composed as it was, of mon from all walks of life; cowboys, prospectors, Indians, silk stockings, millonaires. college athletes, law officers and fugitives from justice. Men from the east and west, north and south rich and poor all welded into fighting force under the in- spring personnel of him who was. later to become president.

Biarritz, Oct. Il (UP)-Gaudily painted finger nails are too tame for the society women of this resort where thumb nail sketches are now the fashionable vogue.
 A blood red heart painted on blue background is the symbol worn by one well known French social leader. Another has etched upon her thumb nail the head of her hus- bands favorite polo pony. Family crests, monograms, and fantastic designs are also being used.
 Several clever painters are mak- ing small fortune decorating women's thumb nails with appro- priate sketches. One woman is said to have the initials of her four diff ferent husbands.

SLAVE SHIP LIES INTACT
 ON VIRGIN ISLAND BEACH
"Vigilant" Only Remaining Vessel Used fin Bringing Black Ivory
 to North America.

St. Croix, Virgin Islands, Oct. II P>-Comparatively sound, despite its great age, the hull of the only re- maining slave ship known to have brought black ivory" to the coast of North America lies drawn up on the beach here. The vessel is the pro rerty of Cornelius Penthony and bears the name of "Vigilant." It was operated under the Danish flag until slavery was abolished in the Virgin Island in 1S4S. Both before and after that time it was engaged in the slave trade, landing slaves il- legally in U. S. territory, Cuba, Porto Rico, and Brazil.
 So speedy was the "Vigilant" that she never was captured. In 1876 the management of the centennial exposition at Philadelphia wished to bring her to that city, manned by a crew costumed as were the slavers. But it was decided that the expense was too great. The 'Vigilant" is American built, and reputed to be 150 years old.

CANNON GIVES UP
 COLLEGE POSITION
Resigns as President Of Black.
 stone Girls School

Blackstone, Va. Oct. II P-The Cannon, Jr., with Blackstone College for Girls, an institute he founded and headed for almost quarter century, was severed yesterday.
 Coincident with an announcement from the trustees of the college that the bishop had been replaced as president of their board by N. P. Angle, of Rocky MouRt. Va, the churchman made public his letter of resignation.
 All eighteen members present al meeting of the trustees here yes terday voted for Mr. Angle as Bish- op Cannon's successor, the board announced.
 Members of the board said after q previous meeting on September that Bishop Cannons affiliation with the college as president of trustees has been discussed at that time. Further information was withheld until Angles election yes terday.
 In his letter of resignation, copy which he telegraphed to the Rich mond Times-Dispatch last night, Bishop Cannon said that since 1928 there had been a division of senti- ment among the people in the terri tory from which the college natural ly drew it's support. A, number of these people, he stated, have dis agreed with my views and my ac- tivities during the past two years"
 At this time, when the college is endeavoring to increase it's patron age and endowment" he added, Tit is vital that there shall be decided re- suits, I have >cided therefore, with out any suggestion from any person or any committee of the college, to present my resignation as the presi- dent and as a member of the board of trustees and I desire that this shall be accepted promptly"

TWO DEbUTS HAVE
 WASHINGTON AG0G
Mark Hanna's Granddaughter and RO0SeVelt'S to Be Presented

Washington, Oct. II P}-Mari1 dore Roosevelt's granddaughter both will be debutantes of the oncoming | Washington social season.
 Mark Hanna's daughter and Theodore Roosevelts daughter will sponsor their respective, or perhaps combined, bows to the pomp and thej gayety of the national capital. Already distinguished oldsters of the reception, formal tea, and grand ball arena are beginning to antici- pate this third generation focal point of interest.
 Their curiosity is kept well-whet- ted, for Ruth Hanna Mccormick who will present her daughter Ka- trina at a Mayfower hotel ball De- cember IT, is campaigning in Illi- nois. And Alice Roosevelt Long, worth, who will introduce her niece, Miss Craze Roosevelt, daughter of the younger Theodore, is recessing details of the debuts.
 May Join FeteS The close friendship of the wom- an representative from Illinois and the wife of the speaker of the house has given rise to the conjecture they might, perhaps. enter the spot light with their buds on a share and-share- alike basis. In that event, it was considered possible. Miss Roosevelt, for whom no debut date has been set, might share Miss Nc Cormicks near-C Christmas ball. Many argued, on the other hand: Alice Longworth never does what people expect her to do."
 It was recalled that Alice RooA,- welt and Ruth Hanna used to play together and check political pri- maries together in Theodore Roose- velts study in the White House. Everybody remembered that Alice Longworth went to Chicago last spring to be with Ruth Mccormick during her victorious primary for the republican senatorial nomina- tion. And it was felt possible their debutantes might also share a dual leading role.
 Charms Sung
 The charm of Katrina Mccormick already has been sung here. She has been a dashing figure in society horse shows. Right now she is fol- lowing in her mothers political footsteps helping disTibute cam- paign literature.
 Grace Roosevelt, whose father is governor of Porto Rico, already has made one social bow, at the Roose- welt family locale of Oyster Bay. She will be presented in New York city as well as Washington.
 In another twelve or fifteen years, history could again repeat itself, for Mrs. McCormick's other daughter. Ruth Elizabeth, better known as Dazie, is about the same age as lit tie Paulina Longworth and conceiv- ably both can come out at the same time.

POPULAR TOPICS IN SERMON SERIES
Rev. ". H. AlderS0n Plans Dis.
 CusSiOn Of Modern Problems

For the next ten weeks beginning tomorrow morning, sermons, and evening addresses at Trinity Meth odist Episcopal church will consist of two series, one on the Ten Com mandments and the other dealing with personal problems.
 Rev. w. H. Alderson, pastor of the church has announced his in- tention of giving on ten consecutive Sunday mornings modern interpreta- tions oflthe ancient decalogue. The old Hebrew laws will be discussed in the order in which they occur in the scriptures, one morning being given to each commandment. The list of subjects which has been pub lished indicates something of the approach the minister will make in these morning sermons. They are as follows:
 Putting First Things First
 False Gods"
 Honor Bound"
 Spending Ones Time"
 'rhe Secret of Long Life"
 "The Verdict of the Jury"
 Poisonous Thoughts"
 Guilty or Not Guilty?"
 Libel and Sander"
 The Cancer of Covetousness"

It is planned to make Trinity church a gathering place for all those in the city who are look ing for an interesting helpful wor- shipful service one hour long. A chorus choir will furnish the music with special soloists from time to time. In an effort to help overcome the difficulties of a period of busi- ness depression, religious uncer- tainty and domestic unrest, Rev. Nm Alderson has selected 10 problems which are specific and definite but with which large numbers of peo- pie are confronted. In a frank honest manner and without evasion these questions are to be discussed at the evening gatherings. An in vitation is given to teachers, office workers, foremen, business men and women, clerks, shop workers. house. wives, the unemployed and all others in that group comprising the bulk of the population. The first message will be on the subject: Just One of the Crowd" The sub jects for succeeding evenings are as follows:
 Playing Second Fiddle"
 This Thing Called Success"
 "A Memory Course"
 "Dr. Jekyll or MT. Hyde"
 "Work-A Lift or a Load"
 "Simpliied Living"
