Sundays Union SerDice
WiUBe a Celebration
Revs. Craig and Stillwell Gratified
Over Rev. JEWELS Decision To
Remain In City

A special union meeting in happy
recognition of Rev. E. B. Jewell.s
decision to remain in Sank Centre
will be held at the Methodist
Church Sunday evening at 7:3O o.
clock. The members and pastors OF
the Methodist and Congregational
churches will be joint hosts to the
Episcopal Church and the Rev. Mr..
Jewell at that service. The general
public is invited.
This method has been chosen not
only to express personal apprecia-
ton of Mr.. Jewell but also to cele-
brate the happy relationship of
these Sank Centre churches. An
exceptional degree of good will and
cooperation has been developed
during the year by these organiza-
lions. Beginning in the fall a mon
thly union service has been held
the first Sunday evening of each
month, rotating among the three
churches with the ministers
preaching by turn as guests in each
others pulpits, During Lent no
less than eight additional mid-week
meetings were held in the same
way. These services have rallied
full houses and have uniformly
cultivated a warm Christian friend
Illness.
The fellowship existing between
the three ministers, the Rev
Messrs. Craig, Jewell and Stillwell,
has been unusually cordial and
effective. There has been no evil
dence of professional jealousy or
sectarian bigotry among them, as
they have carried on their joint
enterprises. When Rev. Jewell was
recently elected to the Archdeacon-
ship of the Minnesota Diocese there
was sadness in the ministerial
triangle at the prospect of it's
breaking up. When the offer was
rejected by Mr.. Jewell his fellow
ministers led in the rejoicing. Sun
day evening affords them their
first opportunity to rally the con-
gregations to celebrate Rev. Jew
ellis decision and the happy rela-
ton of the churches.

BABE BADLY BURNED

Doris, the 18-months-old baby of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Hesse, was
painfully scalded Saturday morning
by falling into a dishpan of scald-
ing water. Her mother had set the
pan on the floor for the purpose of
scrubbing when her attention was
distracted momentarily by one of
the other children of the family.
While her back was turned little
Doris, who was on the floor close
to her, fell into the pan and was
painfully scalded on her right leg,
right side and right arm. She is
responding to treatment finely and
hopes are entertained that she will
recover without scars.

St. Johns Dramatic CO. In
a Very Strong Production
1.-THE Rear Car" a Rollicking Com
edy, Will Be Splendidly Cast
May 4

Sunday evening, May 4, at 7:3o,
in the University Auditorium, the
st. Johns Dramatic Club will pre-
sent "The Rear Car" a comedy
mystery play which will embody
dark, shrouded mystery and light,
rambling comedy. OF the fourteen
plays shown during the year, "The
Rear Car" was quoted as the best
and is undoubtedly the best. It's
staging was proclaimed a bowling
success, for from everywhere re-
quests were made again to stage
this play, so replete with the ele-
ments productive of the great
amount of laughter which relieves
the tensity of the play.

Motorists Of Northwest
Give Thought to Lights
Testing and Focusing Make Night
Driving Safer-SchOol for Ad-
iuSterS Planned

With a full force of State High
way patrolmen now on the road,
headlight testing stations designat-
ed under the law passed in 1927 are
beginning to show new signs of &C.
tivity. So far the patrolmen have
confined their work to checking
"one-eyed" cars and other serious
defects in automobile lighting
equipment, but within week or
two they will begin to devote some
attention to glaring lights.
In the meantime, however, many
motorists are taking time by the
forelock and getting their lights
tested and adjusted without being
ordered to do so. Experienced
drivers have learned that properly
focused and adjusted lights make
night driving much safer and cas-
Ter. They have learned that the
so-called glazing light, which is
only a light tilted so that the light
rays do not hit the road as they
should, is as great a menace to the
person driving the car as to the
drivers who meet such lights. Many
drivers have their lights tested reg
ularly, as the best equipment is
likely to get out of focus.
Activity in the testing stations
has also aroused some inquiry re-
garding official adjusters. Every
testing station must employ a GER
titled lamp adjuster, who must take
a course of training and pass an
examination before he is appointed.
Dunwoody Institute, which gives
the courses in cooperation with the
Minnesota Highway department,
will give the two day course some
time during the summer, whenever
there are sufficient applicants.

1880 SENIOR CLASS
WIN AS THESPIANS
"Smilin' Through" Comedy
Drama, Given Tuesday
Evening
SETTING WAS ARTISTIC
High School Orchestra Happy
Surprise-Fine Vocal Solo
Large Audience


Miss Osmudnson, director of Era
matte Arts in the Senior High
School, had selected 'Sm'lin'
Through" as the vehicle for the Sc
nior class play, the thought ran
through his mind that this was
pretty difficult assignment for am
ateurs, clever even though they
might be.
Jane Cowl, one of Americas
actresses of the last gen.
Grafton, used "Smilin' Through" as
one of her Broadway successes ana
only the better class of stock COM
panies produced it.
The play was presented at the
Junior High Auditorium Tuesday
evening, and the rendition was
happy surprise. The young people
were ideally cast and, while, nat
urally, they were trif1e ill at ease,
each one had a splendid conception
of the character they portrayed.
Proper stage settings add mater
tally in the success of any produc-
ton. The scene of "Smilin'
Through" is laid in an Irish garden
with the cottage at the rear. The
task of arranging the setting and
light effects was allotted to Grin
Hall. He did splendid job. The
garden and cottage were very nat
ural and the colorings and light
effects blended beautifully. 1t is
not saying too much to claim that
this setting was the most appropri-
ate of any used in Senior Class
play presented by the Sank Centre
School.
Marion Minette was cast in the
lead part, that of Kathleen Dung
annon. She acquired quaint Irish
brogue for the play and read her
difficult lines with feeling and in
telligence. -.- ~,.,.....-.....
John Carteret was taken by Ken
meth Mortenson and Russell Erick-
son. The former was the gallant
of fifty years ago, and played a
manly Characterization. Russell
scored heavily as the unrelenting
uncle of Kathleen a half century
later.
Moonyeen Clare was given
dainty presentation by Hazel Nor
tenson.
Glen Sullivan was DR.. Owen Har-
ding, the faithful friend and con-
tinual wrangler with John Carter
ct. This character has many clev-
err comedy lines and others re-
quiring dramatic action. Glen
brought out the lights and shadows
very acceptably.
The other members of the cast
played their bits in a manner to
maintain the high standard set by
the leads.
Miss Osmundson and each men,
Der of the cast are to be congratu-
lated in this presentation.
An audience that practically
filled the large auditorium gave ev-
cry evidence of having enjoyed a
most satisfactory evening at the
close of the performance.
Before the play opened Miss
Hamilton and her High School or
chestra played several very enjoy
able selections.
Harold Rogers, accompanied by
Miss Hamilton at the piano, sang
II Love a Little Cottage, and
Irish Eyes are Smiling" for an
encore. This young man has a
very pleasing voice and presence.

acters:

SDecial Series
On Crime War
Continued from page 1)

Occasionally he made private m
vestigations of crimes or of sus
pected criminals for the files of his
paper or for exposes of crime which
appeared in the Tribune under the
signatures of more talented writers.
For the better part of the Is wears
that Lingle worked for the Tribune
he was assigned to these tasks.
Light Begins To Fall
Thus, when gunman shot Lingle
in the back of the head i'll pc
destr;al subway beneath Michigan
Boulevard on June -, it was natur-
al to assume that gangland was at
tempting to intimidate the press.
The Tribune itself voiced the theory
that their reporter had been slain
because he knew too much about
gangland.
The Tribune accepted the chal-
lenge on that basis.
Then light began TO fall on other
phases of the crime. Col. Robert
r. Mccormick, publisher of the
Tribune, heard rumors that Lingle
was no Don Mellet, that he lived III
Il hotel suite far too expensive for
a police reporter.
Investigation of his private life,
his finances, his habits revealed
Lingle as more racketeer than re-
porter. 1t was learned that he had
used his position with the powerful
Tribune TO act as go-bctween for
gangsters with the police. He was
so friendly with former Police Chief
William Russell that the two were
reported to have had joint brok-
erage account which at one time
was built up TO 5000 900. At
the same time he was an init
mate of Scarfaee Al Capone and
was Capone's house guest at Miami,
Fla. His income was estimated at
S6O,O00 year.
These revelations set invcstiga-
tors to following new trails. The
theory that Lingle was killed to in
timidate the press was abandoned.
1t seemed more likely that he had
been killed for violating some law
of the underworld in his transac.
tions with gangsters.
Ii was inevita Bile that the Lingle
murder, in the light of his gang and
police connections, would have far
reaching effects on the Chicago
anti-crime war, These effects and
the personalities they involve will
be the subjects of further dispatch
es in this series.
