Miss Barker's report follows: Number of working days 18. Number of visits made 12. Number of conferences 52. Number of letters written 40. Miles travelled 480. Meetings held and attended 13. What has been done: One girls’ club has made a study of house furnishing and another has made the study of clothing. Twelve women’s clubs are making a study of house furnishing. We plan to con tinue this study for the rest of the current year. This last month we have made a study of color as ap plied to living rooms and plan vo take up refinishing of furniture dur ing September. we plan to fol low up this work with a livnig room improvement contest. The County Council is promoting a Cotton Dress contest for the Cabar rus District Fair, in effort to en eorage more general use of cotton material, and at the same time, en courage the ladies and girls to become more skillful in making becoming and well-designed clothes.

New York World. n Aldino Felicani, the Boston Italian printer, who organized the Defense Committee which for seven years fought to save Nicola Sacco and Bar tolemeo Vanzetti from death, in an interview here Wednesday flatly accus ed the Communists of American of be ing more concerned in spreading their propaganda than in aiding the two men who died in the electric chair at the Massachusetts State Prison a week ago. He based this accusation on the dif ference between the amounts believed to have been collected by the Commun ists to help Sacco and Vanzetti and the sums they had actually paid to the Defense Committee. Felicani is treasurer of that committee. The international Labor Defense, a Communist organization,* which has headquarters in Chicago and a local office at No. 799 Broadway, contribut ed approximately $4,000 to the De fense Committee treasury, Felicani said. He estimates that the collec tions by the I. L. D. in behalf of the two prisoners amounted to thousands of dollars in excess of this donation. The New York Saeco-Vanzetti Em ergency Committee, also composed of Communists, which has offices at No. 80 East 11th Street, contributed S3OO to the Defense Committee. Felicani said that it admitted collecting nearly $7,000, but state that its expenses in doing so exceeded the collections, and that the S3OO was a donation from its own treasury. In fairness to the two organizations. Mr Felicani said that he must add these statements : First, that the In ternational Labor Defense had offered to permit a representative of the De fense Committee to examine its books in Chicago, and second, that Rose Bar ron, Secretary of the Emergency Com mittee, had offered to prove that its expenses exceeded its collections for Sacco and VanzettL Whether the Defense Committee would accept the offers to examine the books, Mr. Felicani was not prepared to say. He did not think it likely as he stated that the committee was not seeking to force an accounting, but that it would “ask” for an exact state ment because it felt that the public was entitled to know just how much money had been raised and how it was used. Referring to the small total contri butions of American Communists to ward the defense funds, about $2,000 more than the $4,000 received from the International Labor Defense, Feli cani said he had read in the news papers, the statement printed in the January 6 issue of the International Press Correspodence in Vienna, that $500,000 had been raised here for Sacco-Vanzetti defense work. The In ternational Press Correspondence is the organ of the Third International. But of his own knowledge, Mr. Feli cani could say nothing about this purported half-million dollars except that it never reached the Defense Com mittee. He said he had been too busy previously to try to trace it, but that he might make such an effort now, < • Mx JERSEY FROCKS Jgf One or two-piece frocks —just the thing for autumn wear.

JIMISON MAY BE A CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR Up in Washington Talking A1 Smith. —Threatens to Be “Wet” Candi s date. Salisbury Post. Tom P. Jimison, former Methodist preacher and resident of Spencer, now practicing law in Charlotte, ha# been up Washington way boosting A1 Smith for the Democratic nomination for president, and incidentally threat ten# to become a candidate for gov ernor of North Carolina on a “wet” platform. The Washington Herald of Thursday says: “Democratic leaders at the capital sat up with a start yesterday at the news that fundamentalist# are organ izing an A1 Smith-for-President club in North Carolina. t “Tidings of the movement for the New York governor were brought to Washington by Tom P. Jimieon, at torney of Charlotte, who was 'candi date for senator and elector at large on the La Follette ticket in 1924. “The Smith boom in the Tar Heel state is said to be headed by J. D McCall, treasurer of the Bible League, a radical fundamentalist organization. For two sessions, McCall has striven uneuccessfully to drive an antt-evolu ion law' through the North Carolina egislature. “The Smith-for-President club will be launched about September 12th, according to Jimison, and will form ‘he nucleus for a state-wide organizn ion which will endeavor to force the -tate ‘machine,’ controlled by Sena tor Simmons, to send a Smith delega tion to the Democratic . convention. “Another prime mover in the Smith boom in North Carolina is Judge Tam Bowie, of the circuit court. Judge Bowie publicly has announced for Smith on the ground that ’he i# the >niy Democrat who can win’ and that prohibition enforcement will fare no worse under Smith than under Pres <lent Coolidge. “Jimison formerly wae a Methodist minister, but lost his pulpit several years ago after differences with the bishop over the interpretation of the Bible. He has been in Washington conferring with ‘modification#ts’ lead ers on the Smith candidacy. “Unlew? the North Carolina ‘ma chine’ supports Smith for the Demo cratic presidential nomination, Jimi son threatens to run for governor next vear on a wet platform. “Democratic leaders here are some what at a loss to fathom the union of unusually strange bedfellow# —funda- mentalist# and Catholics —in North Carolina and do not know how to gauge the significance of the move ment. , “‘I can’t figure it out,* said one leader, ‘but in the words of Tom Heft lin, there are strange things going on around here’.** Illness Welds Couple Parted For 20 Years.

A special service, of' interest to Lutherans throughout North Caro lina, and especially the Women’s Mis sionary Society of the North Carolina Lutheran Synod, was held Sunday raornin* at. St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Blowing- Rock, when a bronze tablet in the church in memorjr 'of Miss Constance Cline, was ‘ unveiled with appropriate services. The church, which was erected by the IVomen’s Missionary Society of the United Lutheran Church of Am erica as a memorial to Mies Cline, is the first mission to be established in the mountain sections. It is a very attractive edifice, about three miles south of Blowing Rock, on the new highway from that city to Lenoir. The exterior is rustic in design, and it fits harmoniously into the landscape of that beautiful mountain country. A most fitting and beautiful trib ute to Mis# Cline was spoken by Mrs. John M. Cook, of Concord, former field secretary of the Women’s Socie ty, and close lifelong friend. She spoke of the zeal and interest Miss Cline had always exhibited in the mission work of her church, and ee pecially her interest in establishing home missions in the mountain sec tion# of her own state. It was large ly through her influence while a mem ber of the first executive board of the Women’s Society of the United Luth eran Church In America that this work was undertaken by that organi zation, and made one of tb% object ives of the national organization. In a very direct way, the church at Blowing Rock was a result of the effort# of the deceased, Mrs. Cook de clared, and it was most appropriate that the women of the United Luth eran Church in America should dedi cate it to her memory. At the close of this address, the tablet in the church was unvealed, the inscription being read by Mrs. J. L. Morgan, of Salisbury, as follows: ‘ln Loving Memory of the Faithful Services of Constance Cline This Chapel Is Erected by The Woman’s Missionary Society of the United Lutheran Shurch In America.*’ This ceremony was followed by an address delivered by Mrs. Morgan on “Why’s of Mission#,” and ‘‘Our Op portunities” by Rev. J. L. Morgan, D. D., president of the North Carolina Lutheran Synod. In both these ad dresses the speakers stressed especial ly the home mission work of the synod of this state, showing the reas ons for m : ssionß, and the great need and opportunities for spreading the Gospel in sections where possibly one half the people are not within the church. The work or St. Mark’s Church, un der the pastorate of Rev. J. A. Yount, with the assistance of Mis# Cora Jeff eoat, his assistant, is moving forward in a most satisfactory manner. An other mission church is now being bu : lt at Boone, whore a congregation ha# already been organized, and there is much optimism over the result# be ing obtained, as shown by the steady growth of these congregations. Persons from various sections of the state were present at the services on Sunday. Among those from this vi cinity were John A. Cline, Mrs. R. T. Troutman, Mrs. John M. Cook, Mrs. Chas. A. Ensterday. A. Camp bell Cline, of Concord ; Mr. and Mrs. John D. Barrier, of Charlotte: Mr. and Mrs. John H. Rutledge, of Kan napolis, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Mauney and family, of King s Moun tain.

By RADIO KINO. Concord lost a heart-breaking game afternoon to Kannapolis, 8 to 6, before a frenzied throng of some 2,000 fans. Another erst-while Kendall Mills player brought victory to the Towelers—“Tact” Johnson. He slammed a lucky homerun in the ninth with two men on the bags, after two were away, snatching the lead from the Weavers. Skipper Rube Wilson began “work ing the rabbit foot” and his brain when the ninth rolled around, spur ring the Towelers to new life. Rail road Ray was safe at first on Taubey’s error. Ray was then retired from the game, Mottsinger was assigned to run the bases. Sagacious Rube took O’Quinn’s turn at bat and walked. At this interval the Weaver manager ejected Barnes from the mound in favor of Lawson. The first man to face Lawson was Haynes. He was an easy infield out. Then with two away and two on bases, Johnson hit a bullet to centerfield, the ball sailing over the head of Hatley and bounding oyer the fence. Making a clean sweep of the three games with Concord last week, the Towelers today stand one head in the season’s series and nood only two more victories to clinch the champion ship of Cabarrus county. Bringing a strengthened club here, the Towelers had little trouble in capturing the first two tilts, and a lucky break gave them the third exhibition Saturday. The same clubs clash four times during the week, playing at Kannapolis at 3 p. m. Monday and Tuesday ; again in Con cord at 3:30 p. m. Thursday; and closing the season Saturday at 3:30 p. m. in Kannapolis. Poor base-running and costly errors proved the undoing of the Weavers Saturday. The Concord batsmen col lected 14 base hits, including a home run by Outen, ofF Beasley and O’- Quinn, while the Wilson outfit could connect for only six hits off Sally Barnes, southpaw ; and one bingle off Howard Lawson. The Weavers took the lead in the fourth inning after the Towelers had rushed three scores across the plate in the first frame by two hits and four errors. Chink Outen’s eleventh homerun of the season in the third inning with Clayton on base gave Concord two' scores. In the following inning Con cord drove Beasley, ex-Charlotte moundsman, from the mound under a barrage of hits. O’Quinn took his place. He was given a terrible round, and when the dust of battle had clear ed Concord had pushed four more tallies home, gaining a 6 to 3 lead. But Concord was unable to score in the following cantos. The Weavers could drive the ball, but no scores. Loose base-running loomed as one o{ the backsets while indiscretions ruled also as a drawback. Barnes was thrown out at the plate in the fifth after Hord had doubled. He should have made the play safely, but jogged along too slowly between first and, second bases. An error, a sacrifice hit and a single accounted for the fourth Toweler score in the fourth. A single and a double added another in the seventh. Then coming to bat in the ninth one run behind the Towelers had a lucky break and won, 8 to 6. The game was a thriller from begin ning to the end, brimming with pert fielding by the Weaver and Toweler outfields. Mutt Miller made, perhaps, the most sensational catch of the afternoon when he raced up the left field hillside to rob Irby of a three base drive. Miller stabbed the ball from the air, running at top-speed. Irby evened up things by robbing Rawson and Taubey of hits with some clever fielding.
