The wlvfcs of th members of tho
Yacht Club bid fair to emulate the
much boasted prowess of their hus
bands at the sailing game Judging by
the way they handled the tillers of
the fish class sloops yesterday after
noon off Palafox wharf. Nor was the
bleeze lacking for it was necessary
to take a double reef in the sails on
account of the abundance of that re
quisite. It was a real race and there
is no question about that, and con
sisted of three trips around the reg
ular course. There were two prizes
for the winners and the skill that the
skipperettes displayed in their ardent
quest for the trophies made the "old
salts" quake with fear lest they be
called upon to compete with their
wives in the good old sport.'
The race was won by Mrs. Dave
WlthereH, and second place, was cap
tured by Mrs. Oscar Sheppard. Mrs.
Witherell received a handsome glove
buttoner as first prize and Mrs. Shep
pard won a beautiful framed motto as
second prize. Mrs. Witherell had as
her crew Capt. Dave and his son, Ray
Leau, who by the way, had a birthday
anniversary yesterday. He fittingly
celebrated the same by enlisting as a
member of his mother's crew and help
ing her to win the race. Capt. Oscar
acted as crew on the second best craft
of the 3ay.
Mrs. Charles Cottrell rounded the
home buoy in third place and her
crew consisted of Miss Virginia Walk
er and Capt. Charlie. Mrs. William
McDonald was fourth with Mrs. Hen
dricks and Capt; Bill as crew, while
Mrs. Dan Shepard with Capt. Dan as
crew, won fifth honors. :-
Next Sunday the members, " their
families and guests will participate in
an open cruise over to the quaran
tine station, providing the weather
will permit. This invitation has been
extended through the courtesy of Dr.
Kennedy, who also will furnish his
launch, the Genevieve, to help carry
j the crowd over to the station.
i The sloops will be sailed over and
i possibly there will be races sailed dur
ing the day. The red fish are reported
to be rather active around the quar
antine station now, and no doubt the
rod and reel will be the order of the
day with a number of the party. This
Is going to be a basket cruise, but
Capt. Dave Witherell is going to be
along, and being a past master at the
art of preparing fish chowder, he will
be called upon to assume the culinary
duties of the occasion.
The boats that will transport the
crowd over to the station are Doc.
Kennedy's Genevieve, H. T. Merwin's
Badger, Capt. Watson's Annie W and
the Marcia, belonging to Chas. Ket
chum and Bob Hixon. The boats will
leave the city docks at 9:30 o'clock
Sunday morning and the crowd will
spend the day on the trip.

The prevalence and tolerance of so
cial immorality at the ' present time
constitute a serious menace to our civ
ilization. Writing on "Back to Pre
War Morals' in the November Ladies'
Home Journal, John R. McMahon says
America is fast traveling the road that
was traveled by Greece nd Rome. In
every large city of America, and many
smaller ones, nightly prgies of drunk
enness and lewdness, such as preceded
the downfall of these once clean and
virile civilizations, may be witnessed.
These extend far Into the morning
hours and are -casting their polluting
influence over all classes and every
section. Shall we be able to stay the
downward tendency before the whole
core of the social order is rotten?
These matters will be discussed In
plain speech In a discourse on the sev
enth commandment at the First Bap
tist church Sunday evening by the pas
tor. Dr. Moncrief. This is the sixth
sermon In a series on "Modern Morals
Measured by the Ten Commandments."
The discourses have been straightfor
ward Interpretations of the laws of
Sinai and their application to present
day living, and they have been attend
ed by large congregations. The plain
subjects of the law have been handled
without offense to any, yet without
fear or favor.

The body of Machinist's Mate Bruce

crashed from a height of 1,000 feet off
Barrancas beach, was discovered yes
terday about noon. The body was
found floating within a few yards of
where the plane struck the water, and
the reason for its not being found by
the dragging party, who never gave
lip the search until Wednesday eve
ning, is the subject of much specula
tion. It is not believed that Mate Col

but that he was lifeless when the
plane crashed. ' .
The body is. being prepared for ship
ment to Burlington, N. D., where Mate
Cotton's parents reside. Burial will
be made in that city, it is understood.

(Special to (The Journal)
MILTON, Nov. 18. The largest ban
quet' ever recorded in the history of
Milton took place at the Masonic hall
tonight when 175 people assembled
around the festive board and enjoyed
the event which brought a fitting
close to the membership contest that
has been going on for several weeks
between the reds and blues of the
Business Men's Bible Class.
There were a number of addresses
by local men and they were well re
ceived. The principal speaker of the
evening was Dr. A. J. Moncrief of the
First Baptist church of Pensacola, who
gave a splendid talk fitting to the oc
casion. Besides the addresses of the
evening the participants were treated
with a delightful musical program con
sisting of both Instrumental and vocal
selections.
This was decidedly the biggest event
of its kind ever held in this city, and
it was a grand success in every re
spect. The gathering consisted of the
members of the Men's Bible Class and
their wives, and the Confederate Vet
erans of the local camp who were
special guests of the class.
During the early stages of the mem
bership campaign of the class Rev. I.
I. Roberts, pastor of the Baptist
church, under whose auspices the
class was organised, decided to divide
the body into two teams, the reds and
the blues, in order to increase the et
fectiveness of the campaign and insure
its success. The losing team was to
entertain the winners with a big ban
quet and the verdict voiced by the par
ticipants of tonight's event is that the i
most exacting would have had cause
to be satisfied.
Preparations had been made for 200
guests but owing to the fact that a
large number of local people were out
of the city attending another event,
the attendance fell a little below the
200 mark. The Milton people are Just
ly proud of their Men's Bible Class,
as it has the distinction of being one
of the largest in West Florida. Al
though the class was organized and
is being conducted by the Baptist
church, its members represent every
denomination in the city regardless of
faith or profession. The class has an
enrollment of 139 members and meets
each, Sunday morning in the county
court house with Prof. L.. R. Sims of
the local high school as teacher.
The extreme height of ocean waves
is estimated at 30 feet, and their length
from 600 to 700 feet.

will leave early Sunday morning for
a week's fishing expedition up on
Choctawhatchee Bay, and many is the
heart that yearns to participate in
just such an event. Two launches
will convey the party to the fishing
grounds and no doubt there will be
some keen rivalry among the partici
pants as to who can land the biggest
catch. 1

Not even the warmest of spring-like
days can cause the children to forget
St. Nicholas and his toy shop at the
north pole, and already letters aro
coming to The Journal office, addressed
to Santa Claus, Saint Nick, or what
ever title is dearest to the small
sender.
It is rather early for Christmas let
ters yet, but The Journal has this to
promise the children the St. Nicholas
Girl will be with them as she was last
year, and the year before that, and
many other years before that, and she
will bring them the same measure of
happiness that she has scattered in
the past.
Again -this Christmas season. Miss
Leila Abercrombie will be Pensacola's
St. Nicholas Girl, with Miss Modeste
Hargis acting as her able and tactful
lieutenant, and treasurer of the chil
dren's Christmas fund.
Last year a great number of boys
and girls were cared for at the St.
Nicholas Girl's Christmas celebration,
and It is expected that an equal num
ber will be made happy this year.
The St. Nicholas Girl's Christmas
narty has become a Tensacola Institu
tion, and from a movement which was
the outgrowth of the interest of a
young girl and a woman Interested in
children, it has grown to be a commu
nity Interest, which will probably never
die.
Miss Ella "Ward cf New Orleans was
The Journal's first St. Nicholas Girl,
the idea of adapting the St. Nicholas
idea to Pensacola being that of a
member of The Journal staff.
Miss Ward was succeeded by Miss
Ada White, who is now Mrs. George
Nicholson, and when , Mrs. Nicholson
moved to Brooklyn to make her home,
she was succeeded by Miss Lelia Aber
crombie, who had been her devoted
assistant.
Miss Abercrombie has been'Pmsa
cola's St. Nicholas Girl since that time,
with the exception of two occasions
when she was out of the city, when a
trroup of lovely girls, members of the
Patriotic league, under the direction
of Mrs. Henry Jeudevine, took charge
of the celebration.
Miss Hargis has worked with Miss
Abercrombie so faithfully that she also
has come to be known as one of Pen
saeola's St.'Nicholas Girls.
The work will be carried on by
them this year, as vsual. and as has
been the c-stom for a number of years,
a community Christmas tree will be a
feature of the celebration.
This tree has been donated and
lighted by the Pensacola Electric com
pany for several years, this being their
contribution to the St. Nicholas Girls'
celebration, and it is understood that
the electric company will , be equally
generous this year.

CLEMSON TEAM
(By The Acsociated Press)
CLEMSON COLLEGE, N. C, Nov.
IS. Dode Phillips, Erskine full back,
wound up his gridiron career in a
blaze of glory here this afternoon, by
scoring two touchdowns, which enabled
Erskine to defeat Clemson, 13 to 0.
Phillips was the star of the day, plung
ing through the Clemson line for prac
tically all of Erskine's gains, tossing
some pretty forward passes and doing
all of his team's kicking. Clemson
fought hard and came near scoring in
the second half, but were held for
downs on Erskine's four-yard line once
and hid several forward passes inter
cepted by Phillips when they were in
Erskine's territory.
