know that thing' in. its right light,
that is to kniow the thing as it really
is. You see, we might be looking at,
a thing from the . wrong angle—too
high .above it ;too far below it, or too
close to it, to give this thing looked, at
a fair show as to its real character.
"This h-olds true of the age in which
we live and in which somie of the
older ones may think is a bit too fast,
a bit too jazzy. To do the youth of
today1 justice we must realize that the
age we are now passing through is a
swifter moving age than the one we
had even fifty yeasts ago. Children of
that time were said to be swift by
their prandparents, yet the staid members of the, icomjnunity today are
made up from those same children
that were thought to be too fast for
their time. It aSl .airguies the same
thing—-we must get a true viewpoint-
if we are to give true judgment.
'1A11 this leads to the deeper thing
that I want to leave with you as a
message thait perhaps I will never
have the opportunity again to deliver,
and certainly not to the saime gather-
- ing.
"The message is—get, a right viewpoint on yourself,.   Don't let year environment tell you. what you are, but

Following the etectiton, the presl-

usual gracious and interesting manner, calling on those present of the
teachers who had been the instruc--
tors of many of the older ones in days
gone by: Mrs. Fisher of Aim Arbor,
Mrs. El O. A15.em of Clinton, Mrs. B. D.
Hammond of Detroit, Mrs. Eveiretfc

and Miss Helen Moorhead.
Mrs. Flora Osborne gave a very interesting story of, her Eluropena trip,
carrying us along in such an enthu-
siastiiie way that we all seemed to
have been there, and to have seen

"Mr. Chairman, friends that I know

Dense smoke coming out of a basement window of the home of J. W.
Hull Friday afternoon, caused great
commotion on East Michigan avenue.
■Mr. Hull1 and daughter, Miss Cora,
had a few minutes before driven out
of. the yard, when a few ladies of the
neighborhood discovered the smoke
and with .all the men they could muster rushed to the place of excitement.
They found tihd .cellar full of smoke,
hut no fire was vislMe. Henry Schroen
and Edward Gross, who were working
on the" other street, were immediately
sumimoned .and, finding an entrance,
dashed into the basement and were
blinded for artfenet. Opening of a few
doors and windows soon allowed the
smoke to pass out.
It was then, found that a lot, of papers had been placed in. the furnace
and lighted, but due to the damp,
heavy atmosphere there was scarcely
any draft and the smoke from the
smoldering litter had forced its; way
out through the furnace door Instead
of going ourti -through the chimney,
filling tbe eel'lar full! of dense smoke.
PRIMARY GRADES SHOW BIG
ENLOLLMENT INCREASE
Divided Sessions Necessary.
School began Tuesday morning
with ain Increased enrollment in neaiy
]jy all departments qf the school. The
greatest increase was noted in the
primary ro">m, where 34 were enrolled in the first grade and 18 in the
second. The enrollment in these two
grades is so heaivy that one teacher
cannot handle the whole, group at
once.
Various solutions to the problem
have "been considered by the Board of
Education, but the one that seems
most feasible in the light of the present limited bmilding accommodations
is thati o'f divided sessions for these
two grades. The hours for the second ;grade will be from 9:00 to 10:30
and from 1:15 to 2:30. The hours
for the first grade will be from 10:30
to 12:00 and from 2:30 to 4:00: It is
felt that this arrangement will relieve the 'crowded condition in the
room and wil'], he better for the. pu*-
pi'-s. The teacher, Miss Herman,, will
be able to give moire attention to
these smaller groups and mora can
be accomplished than if both groups
were present. In this way the pupils
can accomplish, the essential work of
the grade aind at the end of the year
be prepared "for tihie next without any
Get into your ntfni the fact that Se™US„h^fi<5%p-
the   I   Am   of   you   is   eternal and

the law of vibration is under your con-
trcO. Egotism of the right sort is only laying claim to your inheritance
as I Am.
"Get alone With yourself and get a
belief in youirself, and neither years

and must grow into greater and
greater cower, into greater and greater likeness to thlat one I Am, that
holds the stars in their courses and
universes in relation, and from -which
source the I Am of Me, conies."
The SaJline band them favored us
with several beautiifufl- selections of
which too much, cannot be said in
praise.
Thus ended another happy day
long to be remembered by those
present.
Other .caities, as Detroit and Flint,
where' building accommodations are
inadequate, have been running on
hale-day .sessions as ,a< temporary solution to the problem. They feel that
shorter sessions are preferable* to
oveiic'rowdlngi.
The new arrangement will become
effective Monday, September 19.
SCHOOL NOTES
"The   Last   Trail"   Coming   to   the
Liberty Saturday and Sunday.
Tom Mix drives one of the famous
oild Concord coafches in "The Last
Trail.," Fox Films screen drama,
•made from Zane. Grey's novel, coming
to thie Liberty theatre Saturday and
Sunday.
The Concord coach was the standard of excellence in the pioneer days
o,f the west,-when travel was by horser
back or stage-.
The Concord coach was built to
stalnd the wear of swaying and
boiunieing behind galloping horses
over the irough roads of tlhe vast
open, spaces. Frequently, not more
than two wheels were on the ground
at the same time.
Sturdiness of construction was the
primje factor, but the comfort of passengers was not neglected and to
ease the bumps the bodies of. the
coaches were mounted on long heavy
leather slings, suspended on each
side between the front and rear running gear.
Even with the development of vehicle bodies mounted on steel elipti-
cal springs, the leather sling was
still the, most comfortable type for the
rough roads of the west and tlie Concord stages continued in *use until
railways supplanted thani-.
In spite of the' sturdy ©onstrufition
of the Concord stage, driven by Mix
in the great conch, race which, marks
tha .concluding, scenes of "The Last
Trail," it is almost demolished wheti
two of the desperado drivers deliberately run their coaches into Tom's
with the intention of killing him.
Supporting Mix in "The Last Trail"
are Galranielita Geraghty, Jerry Madden, Lee Shumway, William Davidson,
Frank S. Hagney, Robert Brower, Oliver Eckhardt and Frank Beak
Lew Seller directed the new Mix
film and has mcorr>orated into the
production some of the most breathtaking episodes ever flashed on a mo-
fjionj picture screen.
Darling the filming of the story- the
'■Western Ace" just missed serious injury when the, king-pin of the coach
he was driving gave way as the horses
tore onward alt breakneck speed.

FRIED APPLES AND BACON
Thinly sliced bacon is delicious
when browned lunder the flame of the
broiler in ia gas stove. It is then
free of excess fat, crisp and appetizing. Good results, ican also be obtained by frying It in. a! heavy skillet,
draining the slices and absorbing a
large part of the fat with brown pa-
par. .Apples or tomatoes can then be
fried in the fat and according to the
Bureau; of Home, Economics, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, make a
particularly attractive breakfast dish.
The following recipe is suggested for
filed apples and bacon.. Select good
tart apples. Peel and cut them in
3-4 to 1 inffih. cubes. Pry the bacon
In a heavy skillet. As soon as the
slices of bacon are crisp, remove and
drain them on clean brown paper.
For frying the .apples you will need
about one-fourth .cup of the bacon
fat.* Put tlie apples in the hot bacon
fat, piling them up rather high in the
frying pan. Sugar to taste. Be sure
you use enough sugar; apples fried
this Way require a little more sugar
than applies fried in the. ordinary-way.
Cover and cook slowly "until tender.
Then remove the coyer., and turn the
apples gently, so the pieces will'ke'ep
their shape. Let them brown lightly;
they are" then almost transparent
Place them in a hot platter and surround them with, the bacon.
