them. The third and last question
of the discussion was, "What Is
Success?" Dr. Foster used these
words: "Failure comes through
conforming to the things of the
world." He went on to say that if
"you keep your vision two things
will result: the firsts you save your-
^se/f;* the second, you save the world,
for the world will only be saved
by the dreams that the men and wo-
men have of it." It is needless to say
that every listener was spell-bound
and absorbed in thought as Dr.
Foster ceased speaking and walked
up the aisle leaving the imprint of
his wonderful personality and influ-
ence on every member of the au-
uitticti. ufte wuiJ ' wi i/Jtr* u»Vnic»y |
inspired and overcome with enthu
looking with eager expectation.
(2) That the conference pledges
itself to invite every student in this
field to join in group or other study
of Christian World Democracy.
(3) That we invite the atten-
tion of pastors and Sunday School
forces to this campaign and urge
their co-operation.
Signed by the committee.
The 24th day of February was apr
pointed as the day of prayer among
the student organizations of North
America.
Mr. Ilavinghurst closed the con-
ference with a definite appeal for
enlisting qualified men and women
for the foreign missionary program
of the church.

UNION LEAGUE MEETING-
"Say, Gem, did you go the the
Savoy last night?" asked Thelma An-
1 derson.
"Nope! I went to Mulkey Memo-
j rial Church to a union League meet-
ing, tho," responded Gem.
"A union League meeting," repeat-
ed Thelma, wonderingly. "What in
the world is that?-'
"Oh, well, it is a union meeting of
all the Leagues in this district. They
have a union meeting once a month.
"Well, what tlo they do at meetings
like that," queried Thelma presistent-
iy.
"Oh, they have programs just like
we have at literary society. Then
after the program there is a little so-
cial affair, and they have something
to eat, and you get to meet all the
people who come."
"Oh, you eat, do you?" Chimed in
Thelma. Wrell, that's interesting.
Tell me some more about it. Did you
enjoy that last meeting?"
"Certainly. We had stick candy to
eat; ;uhV we" got to meet one of the
most adorable men you ever saw. He
sings perfectly wonderfully. Mr.
Hemphill teaches him. But, I tell
you, Thelma," and Gem grew serious
as she proceeded, "it wasn't all fun
like that. There was an awfully in-
teresting program. And Brother
Fischer gave us a little address. I
shall never forget one thing he said.
It was this, 'It is no wonder that the
lions in v: j> "
■ i ; ' i str&cwn a.
vel when he was put m {,}««..— ne was

and lions do not like backbone and
grit.' That's what Brother Fischer
said, Thelma, and I couldn't help but
think that some of us out here would
be saved from lots of temptations, or
yielding to temptations, if we had
more back-bone and grit. But, there,
I didn't mean to preach a sermonette."
concluded Gem.
All right, Gem," said Thelma, but
you promise me to let me know when
the next one of these Epworth League
meetings is going to be, will you? I
want to go."
"Oh yes, the next one will be out
here at Poly church next month. I'll
come by for you. Good-bye."

THE AVIATOR MAN.

And in my eagerness to know,
With fervency I cried:
"Oh, aviator, tell me why
Your cap stays on your head?"
"Because there is a vacuum there.

"Girls, you must be quiet and think'.
We can arrange for the next addi-
tion of the Handout in a few moments
if you will." This statement was
made Lois McNeely, the businesslike
editor of the college paper. "Now what
material have we for the front page?
Don't you think we have had enough
about grades and examinations in the
paper? Suppose we let that suh-
ject rest until next spring, at least."
"Before we stop talking grades,
Lois, for goodness .sake, write up
about my getting four 'AV and 'A-
plus' in Logic." %
"Well, Vivian, I do believe that
ought to go in. 1 made 'A-plus in
Logic, too. Girls, don't you think that
is surprising enough to get on the
first page?"
"Suit is, but if you stick that in,
please add a postscript that 1 got A-
minus." This was from Teola Davis.
"Well you might say 1 am expect-
ing a visit from my father."
"Why, Lessie!"
'-Because this is the first time in my
life I have have never made below B-
minus in my exams. Oh, he will think
something is the matter with me, and
worse than that, I'm afraid I can't
convince him that there isn't."
"Girls!"
"What?"
"I)o you know that five minutes are
already gone? I spent more time than
I should have working on the last
edition, and I don't, want to on this
«« •
one."
"Lois, you did have ty-.stay late
last time, didn't you?" asked Thelma
Anderson.
"Oh, yes. Let me tell you how
brave I was. I was working so very, <
Very hard and it was growing darker
and darker. I was so scared 1 could j
hardly write. 1 was thinking like this. I
'suppose someone should come up here, j
What could I do. There is the win-
dow. It is open and low enough to f
jump from. I might be killed, but 1
would be a heroine.' At this point
1 heard heavy footsteps. Was 1 scar-
ed? I was hoisted ready to leap when
Fannie called, and my heart began to
beat at its usual speed."
'Gracious! 1 know a woman braver I
than that ," broke in Lessie. "She j
lived in a big house outside of town
and was wealthy. One evening eve- j
ry one left except her. She was sit-1
tins;1 on the porch when she saw a man
come creeping up the road. She calm- i
ly got up and went to meet him, and ■
as<ed him what he wanted. He left, i
toi. 'Wasn't she brave?"
"Whew! I would have gone after a
butcher" kinfe," Cleo exclaimed.
"You mean a hat pin." j wor^ppgrfioygti
"No, sir, I wouldn't stick anybody." j sometimes are.
"Wouldn't stick them, merely
their heads off, I suppose?"
"Girls, we have absolutely nothing j ' u<
for the front page. Have you heard s>l'e 0
any criticism lately, Ferrol?"
"Yes, 1 heard a girl say that the
paper was not funny enough."
"That's funny. 1 heard one say
that the paper was too funny.''
"I heard like Ferrol," chimed in
Teola.
"Gem, as joke editor, I appeal to
you. What do you say?"
"This is my opinion, Lois. A col-
lege paper is not merely to entertain.
If the girls only thought of the many
different places to which this paper
goes, they would see the necessity of
having good material as well as fun-
ny. Not that both can't be together,
for they can, but you understand what
I mean when I say good. A paper can

hand in material that is really witty
and humorous, or interesting article?,
our paper could be more of a success

school and each girl has her part to

"Pardon me, but I think that is
the trouble, the girls do not know that
they are really . expected to hand in
material."
"Well, please, please, try .to get that
idea out of their minds. Anyone can j
