usually state units and the presby-

commissioners to the General Assem-
bly are the representatives sent to
this annual congress, as it might bt
expressed, to continue the political
comparison. The moderator is the
highest officer; his assistants are the
stated clerk, the permanent clerk and
their assistants. There are a number
of committees, as in Congress or a

can be classified the various business

The assembly is composed, without
exception, of men of distinct educa-
tion and unusual intellectual attain-
ment—men who as misisters of note
or laymen of conspicuous force and
accomplishment, are necessarily schol-
ars and thinkers, as well as men of
deep religious convictions. The fact
that every member of the assembly
is, in the very nature of things, neces-
sarily a man of this type, explains in
large measure this efficiency that im-
presses itself so forcefully to those
who witness the procedure
For instance, on the second day the
assembly disposed in forty-five min-
utes of a very important report, con-
the Ham-Ramsay evangelistic party
had the pleasure Monday and Tuesday
of attending the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church in the Unit-
ed States of America which is holding
its annual session in Dallas.
The Assembly convened last Thurs-
day and will remain in session until
today (Friday), nine days. This is
one of the three largest protestant
denominations in the world and from
the point of amount of funds handled
and scope of work in hand, is not ex-
celled by either.
While its communicants number be-
tween one and a half and two million
many of them are among the nation’s
This report of the executive commis
sion included budget dispositions,
methods of accounting, and several
matters of general policy. It would
be comparable to a very important
and very long bill in a Legislature.
But all the commissioners had read
and studied the report. They were
thoroughly familiar with the ques-
tions presented and were ready to act
upon it without delay.
Stick to Schedule.
The same thing holds true in all
the affairs of the body, if five min-
utes’ time is allowed for a speech, it
means five minutes to the moderator
—and the gavel falls promptly if the
wealthiest people and the gifts to its gpeaker exceeds the limit. If an item

Speed demons of world-wide fame
kill be seen in action in Dallas Sat-
urday, June 2, when the greatest
automobile race scheduled for the
Southwest will be run off on the
speedway at the State Fair of Texas.
Featuring the day will be a one
hundred mile race and for this event
a purse of $2,500, together with a
valuable trophy cup, has been offered
to the winner. In addition to this
long grind for the famous drivers,
several preliminaries for short dis-
tances will be run off.
The big race will be under the dir-
ection of the State Fair of Texas
and the occasion wijl be a benefit for
the Red Cross Society. Recognizing
the invaluable work being done by
this Society, the directors of the Fair
ds-llAl 1 that encouragement should
be given and as a result a liberal per-
centage of the receipts of the day will
be turned over to the Red Cross
Society.
Official sanction of the meet has
been granted by the International
Motor Contest Association, of which
the State Fair of Texas is a member.
This means that records established
at this meet will be official. G. Huff

Assembly Businesslike.
The promptness, efficiency and
businesslike character of the session
of this assembly are peculiarly im-
pressive to the visitor who has not
seen previous assemblies of this
church. The organization resembles
that of Congress or a State Legisla-
ture—save that it is a single instead
of a bicameral body, and that it is
vastly more efficient. The synods are

THE OLYMPM
R. E. L. KNIGHT,
President State Fair of Texas,
tor of such automobile race meetings,
has been secured by the State Fair
to manage the meet and is actively
directing arrangements.
Acknowledged to be or^ of the
fastest dirt tracks in the country,
the speedway at the State Fair
grounds offers an alluring prospect
to the topnochers among the pro-
fessional auto racers. Supremacy on
the dirt track is a mooted question
among the drivers and an opportunity
to meet the challengers for first
honors will be welcomed by all of
them. For this reason and because
of the liberal purse hung up, it is
expected that the entrants in the
big race will brinp together the most
famous aggregation of professional
drivers that has been assembled in
the Southwest. Fred Horey, recog-
nized by many as king of the dirt
track, has asked for an entry blank,
and in all probability will be on hand
when the starter cuts the racers loose
June 2nd.
Last season during the Texas State
Fair the speedway at Fair Park was
declared by drivers racing there to
be one of the best dirt tracks over
which they had piloted a car. Since
that time considerable labor has been
put on the track ironing out some
slight imperfectons and hardening the
surface on the treacherous turns. By
the time the classic events of June
2nd are ready to go, the track will
be as near perfect as it can be made,
according to Manager Darward.
Manager Darward has just return-
ed from the East and North where
he attended some of the race meets
being held and where he advertised
the Dallas meet among the drivers. As
Dallas, by reason of the date selected,
can fall into a circuit of race meets,
including St. Louis, St. Paul, Detroit,
and others, many of these drivers will
come direct from the East to this
city.

AUTO RACES FOR THE
BENEFIT OF RED CROSS
Dallas, Tex^s, May-Speed kings
of the dirt track will assemble in
Dallas for the classic one-hundred
mile race to be run off Saturday,
June 2, over the speedway at the
grounds of the State Fair of TexaB.
The meet will be a benefit for the
Red Cross Society and was arranged
through a desire of the directors of
the State Fair of Texas to encourage
the work of this organization. While
the feature of the day will be the
“Century Grind”, there will be several
races over short distances as pre-
liminaries the big event. The sup-
eriority of the Dallas speedway over
other dirt tracks of the Southwest is
one reason for the kings of the speed
worid wanting a chance to race over
this course. The championship on a
dirt track for the one hundred mile
distance is a title somewhat in dis-
pute among the greatest of the pro-
fessional drivers and it is almost cer-
tain that a number of claimants for
honors in this division will enter for
the Dallas meet.
For the big race of the day a purse
»f $2,500 has been offered and in ad-
dition to fliis there will go to the
winner a valuable trophy cup.
