ment-most of them in the fields o.

by the Moore Reorganization Com
mission, created by resolution of the

The commission recommended
Gov. Prices proposals of 1910 with
several notifications, in the vel
fare field, but did not back his plan
for abolition of the Division of Mo-
tor Vehicles and transfer of its
functions, or the appointment of a
director of finance to tighten the
pressure of detail on the Governor
Office.
State Tax Commissioner c. H
Morrissett, one of three members
of the commission named by the
Executive, delivered the report,
signed by all nine members, to Gov.
Price yesterday. Delegate E. Black
burn Moore Of Berryville Is chair
man.

members appointed by Gov. Price,
said in supplemental statements
that under normal world and ma
tional conditions they would have
preferred a broader and more far
reaching program, and declared that

ing process in the State government.

commended:
I. The discontinuance of the Vir-
ginia Industrial School Board and
the Virginia Industrial School Board
for Colored Children and the trans
fer of their powers and duties to the

Commission of Game and Inland
Fisheries, and the Commission Of

8. A rearrangement of the terms
OF the membersSof the three COM
missions comprising the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment, so that the term of the chair
men in each case shall be coincident
with that of the Governor making
the appointment, and terms of the
remaining members four years with
two expiring every two years after
the first appointment. This also
would involve a reduction in men,
bership OF the Commission of Game
and Inland Fisheries from seven to
i've.
7. The transfer from the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Immigra-
ton to the Department of Health
of the administration of laws relat-
ing to inspection and sanitation of

To Observe
World Wide


Members of the First Presbyte-
rian church Of Libby will unite
Sunday, Oct. 5, in a World Wide
Communion Service. Members in
Presbyterian churches all over the
world will gather around the Lords
Table in world wide fellowship.
The Sacrament will begin at ii
a. m. on Sunday in Japan and
Chosen, and will then be served in
China the next hour, then in Siam,
India, Iran, Syria, and on around
the entire world until the chain of
fellowship links to the Eastern coast
Of the u. S., then across the coun-
try to the West coast, finally to be
closed at Point Barrow in the Arc
tic Circle.
In varied names we stretch COM
mon hand;
In many ships we seek one spirit
land"
An interesting item in connection
with World Wide Communion is
that the celebration is to be started
by missionary in Chosen and will
be closed at Point Barrow by his
daughter, Mrs. Frederick Klere-
koper.
This observance has spread to
many other denominations and is
now incorporated in the program OF
many sister denominations of the
Presbyterian Church.
In a world where successive blows
of totalitarian war has shattered ma
tons, crushed races, separated fam
lies, encited hate, the church is
crossing all frontiers of race, foun-
dry, politics, and joining the world
in Holy Communion in memory of
| Him whose Kingdom shall include
the abundant life, liberty, happi-
ness, and brotherly love.

pattern for the warm weather dress
you need right now. II is the cape
sleeve dress with the new smooth
shoulder line. The draped bodice Is
so easy to make; you turn back the
top corners for the attractive revers
on the low V neckline, trim the front
with a soft bow and you have a
dress of character as well as COOL
ness. Pattern No. 1387-B is pri-
marily designed for the larger wom-
an who will appreciate the soft,
f1attering effects which this style
offers. The dress may also be made
with short or three-quarter length
sleeves.
Any Of the sheer cottons or nov
city rayon crepes, or a silk crepe is
suited to this style. You will like
it in new scroll print, a polka dot
or a f1owered pattern. Wear a
leather belt which picks up the
brightest color of the print!
Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1878
is in sizes 36. 38, 40. AZ, A, 46, 4S,

Popular Choice of
Men Travellers,
Observers Say

Ask any dining car steward about
1t and he'll tell you that chicken
pie Is the favorite choice of men
travellers. Which Is a good reason
why homemakers might well in
clude it occasionally In the menu
throughout the year.
Chicken pie Is easy to duplicate
In the home kitchen. A plump stew
ing hen, or fowl, is the poultry to
buy. Have the chicken disjointed,
dividing. the back and breast in
half lengthwise, with the wishbone
and its meat removed from the
breast for an extra piece. Leaving
the bones with the cooked meat
makes the meat go farther-it also
helps to hold up the crust. If you
prefer the bones removed cut the
cooked meat into business-like
chunks.
And leave the vegetables out of
the pie If you want it to be chicken
pie. They are at their best served
separately If you are in the mood
for really special chicken pie menu.
