Who Sayt Looks Don't Count?
One of the interesting features of
the Dodge-Funston game Saturday
was the presence of ten pretty girls
who were soliciting for the Knights
of Columbus war fund. Armed with
small tin pans, baskets and little red,
white and blue bags, these energetic
young girls let none escape without
making a contribution to the cause.
The men were their best patrons
and one pretty girl announced that
she had made $15 in three minutes!
And then they try to tell us that
looks don't count 1
Some of the girls were: Miss Mary
Duffy, Miss May Mahoney, Miss Ruth
Kinsler, Miss Mary Morrison, Miss
Jeannette Mullen, Miss May bullivan
and the Misses Arline, Claire and
iHelen McCaffrey.
The. absence of large parties was
particularly noticeable at the game
Twosomes, there were, many of them
but none of the big, enthusiastic box
parties that we would expect to see
at, an army game of that sort. A
number of the younger society girls
were together, in parties of two and
three, and also some o: the young
J married set, but the interesting par
; ties of pretty chrysanthemum be
decked girls; and young bachelors
were not in evidence at this, the big-
. gest game of the year.

have heard rumors of a real military
ball to be given in the near future by
the officers of Camp Dodge and Camp
Funston. It's to be a real brass but
ton affair, with all the trimmings, and
I advise all the girls to get out their
prettiest party clothes, for, if reports
Q Ire true, jt will be an event long to

in sponsoring the dispensary. Nine-

Mede a "Beauty Map'
Sir Francis Galton once set out to
obtain materials for a "beauty map"
ot tne British isles by means of a
pricker carried in his coat pocket as
he walked the street, which pricked
holes in a piece of paper, classing the
women ne met as attractive, indiffer
ent or repellant. After carrying out
his investigations in a number -of
large towns Sir Francis wrote: "I
found London to rank highest for fe
male beauty; Aberdeen lowest."
Legend of the Aspen
Of course you have noticed how the
leaves of the aspen tree quiver 'al
most constantly, and, undoubtedly,
you know that the reason for this is
that they are attached to the twigs
with a slight twist of the stem. There
is, however, an old legend which says
that Judas stood under the aspen tree
when he betrayed Christ, and the
aspen was so frightened and shocked
at the infamous act, that its leaves
have trembled ever since.

Origin of Sandwich
The originator of the sandwich, the
fourth earl of Sandwich, was born No
vember 3, 1718. This earl, like most
of the English nobles of that time,
was devoted to games of chance, and
it was this predilection that was re
sponsible for the application of his
name to tl e sandwich. When the
stakes ran high the earl was unable
to tear himself away from the gaming
table and it was his custom .to order
the servants to bring him slices of
bread and ham. . ,
Other devotees of the goddeso of
luck followed his example and gave
the name "sandwich" to the combina
tion of bread and meat. The passion
for gambling is no longer so nreva-
lent as in the earl of Sandwich's day,
but the rush and hurry of modern
life have given the sandwich a wide
popularity. -
There is an old story that says the
reason, for calling the adder deaf. i
because to prevent hearing the voice
of the charmer, it lays one ear on the
ground and thrusts its tail into the
other.

Soliloquy of Modern Eve
How large is your world? Not the
globe, but your own little world
the sphere in which you live.
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
How large is your world?
Not the globe, but your own little world,, the sphere in which you
live!
You think you would like New York or Faris or even Peking, be
cause these cities list their populations by millions.
You think your coterie of friends would be larger and your pleasures
greater in one of these cities with its seething, suffering mass of humanity.
San Francisco to Shanghai.
A woman may have a list of acquaintances from San Francisco to
Shanghai and not one of them mean anything to her. Her world is still
a dot. Acquaintances give breadth to character if one has an open mind
to receive them, but they never kept a soul from being weary; thev fade
into the dim distance when one is in trouble; they never fill that part of
life which withers for want of genuine friendship of another person to
whom one may tell their troubles and confide their secrets.
Friends fill the gap through which the ideals of life, might slip. '
Friends keep the current of pride moving swiftly down the river of
evolution!
Many Kinds of Fruit.
If your friends are few, then there must be something wrong with
you it isn't the friends. (
There is but one way to have friends and a big world you must be
a friend and be big.
Nothing goes quite so deep into the heart nor brings so large a harvest
as good deeds they bear many kinds of fruit.
Speaking kind words helps, but doing good deeds brings endless re
ward. ,
Your world, then, is that space in which you think and love and do.
It is enlarged by what you give to it and narrowed by walls of prejudice
and meanness.
Your world does not depend on New York or Paris or Tcking to
give it size, but on you. , '
