Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond then spoke
on chorus work. She took up the
value of singing in war time and ex
plained that the work of the chorus
this year would be to learn patriotic
and popular songs. She also discuss
ed plans for an all-University Vesper
service, which would not only be of
valuable influence but would give ex
cellent training for choir work.
W. A. A. Discussed
The Women's Athletic association
was briefly discussed by Madeline
Girard. "Every university girl should
be a member of the W. A. A.," she
said. The admittance to this associa
tion is determined by a system of
pr'z'. ven in athletics. She explain
ed also that war work will be an im
portant phase of the society's activi
ties this year.
Katherine Kohl explained the pur
pose of the Women's Self Government
association. This organization has
grown out of the Girls' club, organiz
ed in 1908. The purpose of the club
was to broaden the social activities of
the university girls. This has grown
into the present W. S. G. A. which has

"I don't like the new figured pat

one of the young women. "Do you?"
"It might have been the part of wis

have disagreed with her companions,
so he sidestepped the issue, and paid
the lady a deliriously subtle compli

A good story Is going the rounds
concerning Walter Bayes, whose fa
mous academy picture, "The Under
world," has been purchased by the
committee of the Imperial war mu
seum. Mr. Bayes has always been a very
6cvere critic of his own pictures, and
one day, being dissatisfied with a large
painting he had completed, he gave
the canvas to the charwoman to take
away with her. telling her she could

When someone grabs your open hand

grand;"
"And while we're talking; just where:
do you stand?"
Why. that's election time. ;

When the books you carry have too !
much weight.
And they help ycu along so you i
won't be late; j
While they point out the best thats'
booked on the slate j
Why, that's election tim.
When half the discourse is food for
the wise.
And the other half dealt out is noth
ing but lies;
When the air is chock full of a Jingle
of cries,
Why, that's just election time.
If convenient buy cotton and stuff in
your ear
So yon won't b bothered w ith stuff
that you hear.
And cast your vote as you like, never
fear
That's the trial of election time.
